I created a backup from TWRP tonight and I noticed that the serial number of my phone has changed from ZX1G2***RS to 65***e28. Is this an issue I have to worry about? I have made multiple TWRP backups and the serial number has always been the first serial number. Even when going to Settings > About Phone > Status it now shows the second (new) serial number. I haven't factory reset or wiped the phone in quite a while, I've only installed the monthly security updates.
I have the same problem after updated to the latest 2017.10.06. LineageOS build, i have a new serial number in bootloader, TWRP and in Android itself (ZX1G*****G changed to 9d1****7). I have to reactivate my mobile banking app because of this.
The same thing happened to me after sideloading the October 5, 2017 security update.

Weird. Thanks for your replies!
Hi, just purchased a SIM free P10, from UK,firmware is C432120. Latest security patch is 1st March 2017. Is this really the latest update as nothing found under software update. Many thanks
The newest firmware version VTR-L09C432B180. You should get the updates within a couple of days or weeks. If you are impatient you can use Firmware Finder to update. The instructions are on the Guides forum. The updates improve your battery and overall performance, and introduce new features.
I have used the firmware finder app, found the latest version and downloaded (gone as far as extracting update.app) to the root of the SD card, but fails at 5% installation. What would I be doing wrong - its so strange that its not finding any update automatically (still on VTR-L09C432B120) whatsoever as its unbranded? Any help would be much appreciated
Ah, you are impatient
First, you need to check if the firmware is approved for your device (allow FF to send your IMEI). If it says it is approved, change your proxy settings and start the update in settings. After it downloaded 1%, pause the download and set your proxy settings back to auto. Resume the download and you should be fine.
Ok try and do this as best as I can......
I bought a vwz S8 G950U used off someone from offer up was working fine when I bought it so when I got home I factory reseted to get all the users apps games etc off it and then it asked for a Google log in info (which I don't know) and I tryed to email the person but won't respond
So I tryed to install factory to binary to bypass it from what I been reading says I can do well I can get in factory binary now but now I cannot install oem stock firmware which I have downloaded 7.0 (what was on it ) says factory binary samsmobile and xda but every time odin3 gives me a fail message I have tryed odin3 3.127,3.13.1,3.12.3 and I think 1 more but every time I get a error....
So right now when I turn on the it his to factory binary mode and don't know of this helps but the battery won't charge past 80%....
What I'm asking if someone can be kind enough to help me out with this issue
P.S. I also tryed to instill Oreo 8.0 also but failed as well....
I can get any I go and post pics if that helps as well
Thank you in advance Jason A.KA. PpperoniRedd

5th digit back is boot loader bit number. This error is commonly from trying to flash with older firm Ware than on the devices

I have been using firmware finder to update my PRA-LX1. Now as I can see I don't receive any official updares. I'm stuck at security patch June. Even though July update is available when I check for updates in System Update it sais 'No updates'.
Any solutions?

I guess you are on Oreo.
Go to the firmware finder and find the list of firmwares and which correspond to the July security update,and check if it is approved for installation,if it is then go ahead and press update through VPN and follow the instructions.
Choose OTA not FullOTA if you are on Oreo,since it also took me a while to get the update.

so you're saying that firmware finder works on oreo if I choose the OTA firmware?
the problem is that firmware finder doent seem to work on oreo. Even though the update is approved, with vpn started the System Update app says 'No updates'.

Oh really? I haven't really tried it on Oreo so I don't know,try updating it the manual way through dload,you can find how to do this on the forums.

I have tried different types of the Dload method but no one ses to work. I tried something from the WAS-LX1 SD CARD UPDATE GUIDELINE but using an update for this phone. Well, even if that update is available for update, with the dload method it says that 'The update package is not compatible with the current version. Please download the right package and try again." And I have tried that with about 10 other updates witch were available in firmware finder.. but I got the same results.
It seems that no method of updating is working for me right now... Or maybe I am doing the dload method wrongly.
I can't find specific stept for the dload method on the forums. On some of them is even said that dload method doesn't work on this phone all together.

Hmm,well as a last resort try to use dload with a service firmware.
I am sending you links for PRA-L31,the one I have,and you can check if you have that one by going into the engineering menu,and you do that by going into the dialer and typing this: *#*#2846579#*#*,and then going to Veneer Informations and Version Info.
http://androidhost.ru/6uc - this is for the July security patch firmware (aka the newest one),but it will take 8 hours to download,at least it took that time for me
https://mega.nz/#F!nwhAWDjC!cNovAN6dKLlO_YZ9fjMbzQ - this is for the firmware you are probably running right now
All of these links are from 4PDA forums.
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=809771&view=findpost&p=65929494 - here you can find instructions on how to do it,if you don't understand them basically you need to firstly apply the UPDATE.APP from the first update_sd.zip you find in the dload folder,and then do the vendor UPDATE.APP which you can find in the PRA-L31 folder.
I am sorry if you cannot completely understand what am I saying,I am typing this in a bit of a rush so...

THANK YOU SO MUCH! This actually helped me restore my phone to normal. I installed the B363 version from the MEGA link ( I had B360 installed. my mistake was that I initially installed the wrong version with firmware finder, B360 instead of B363). But once I installed the B360 I got a notification to update to B369.
Thank you for your help!

Thank you for this simple and useful guide. :good:
I was able to successfully update back to stock using Normal upgrade *#*#2846579#*#* dload method (not force with 3 buttons) and service firmware 8.0.0.363(C432). After that, got OTA for 8.0.0.369.. Everything went fine, except device name changed automatically to P9 lite 2017
Is this okay?? The same happens with service firmware you mentioned 8.0.0.369(C432)...
Beside that, Power+Vol+ gives me no more eRecovery, just EMUI with options to wipe data or reboot..
My device: P8 lite 2017 PRA-LX1 (PRA-L31)

Yeah that is good,since this is a firmware which was released around Croatia,Albania,Czech Republic and etc,but there it is called P9 Lite 2017 instead of P8 Lite 2017 so it is no problem.
And I believe you enter eRecovery by holding Volume Up while plugging in your phone to a charger or USB port on a computer,at least that is how I did it before on Nougat,haven't touched any recoveries I fixed my phone with DC Phoenix.
Hi Guys,
Does anyone also have this issue with installing Google Pay on Samsung Galaxy S10.
I bought this phone in UAE and tried to add a UK card to Samsung Pay preinstalled on this Samsung S10.
But it tells that the card issuer is not supported and shows a list of UAE banks that are.
Tried to delete my Samsung account because my country was selected as UAE. I created a new one with UK in country field.
Also no success. I even tried a VPN to UK and that also didn't help. I also was cleaning cache and data after all those steps but no luck.
In this moment I understood that it will be impossible to add it.
Then I thought that I will just switch to Google Pay instead, but I didn't see that app pre-installed so I tried to install it but in Google Play I was unable to find it. so I tried to search it and I found a link that opened it in Google Play but when i tired to install it it said that "This version is not compatible with your device".
I have the latest Android Pie 9 installed with Android security pach from 01 feb 2019
WTF is all this about, should it be so hard to make it to work? how to install Google Pay and start using it?
I have googled all those issues and didn't find any solutions to this issue. Tried to delete cache and data in Google Play also.
Maybe the problem is in CSC. You can heck with command * # 1234 #. For UK it should be G973FOXM.
These are the versions that are currently installed on my s10+
