Hello .
I have download Rom for my Samsung S10 Plus, since root is not available for Snapdragon version.
I was thinking to extact build.prop from downloaded rom and than flash it to s10, so that I can run Shealth and other apps.
however I am knew to all then, I have a windows machine, I was able to extract system.img, and read it with "ext2explorer", but can anyone explain how do i write to it and then repack it for flashing ?
Will be highly indebted.
Thanks

Hi Guys it would appear that my concerns for getting a 2020 or Android rom / firmware are slim to None in that I simply cannot find my type of file required to do the job anywhere??
My daily driver is in excellent condition but most definitely do with a major face - lift, make that overall as it is more than capable, I had just upgraded my wife's Note4 with crDroid firmware and it is Fantastic!
This is the type I need [samsung/nobleltezh/nobleltehk] my device is fitted with Exynos / Qualcomm that I believe to be rare in comparison to most other of its variants??
I put this out there as a real S.M.C. can anyone help please? Riccardoray.
The answer is no. I have tried LineageOS, Bliss rom, pixel experience, crDroid, but there is no "IMEI" and "SIM" meaning I cannot make a phone call. Work-around solution:
Install the rom of your choice and give up the phone call function, use it as a wifi-tablet;
When you want to downgrade back to Android 7 and use phone call normally, use the stock firmware from https://sfirmware.com/ + odin to restore. Remember to delete google/ samsung account (odin warns so) because the accounts might mess up odin restoration process.
The disadvantage is that you need a PC to use odin. If someone knows how to use TWRP to intall stock firmware, please let me know;
The stock firmware looks like this: a zip file containing AP, BL, CP, CSC files in md5 format. https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/176515/what-do-the-terms-bl-ap-cp-and-csc-mean-in-odin
Must Have An Unlocked Bootloader To Do This!
This An odin tar file I have created to flash along with stock odin firmware to automatically install TWRP recovery along with Disable VBMETA image. The tar file will also automatically install magislk root along with remove force encryption and patch bluetooth library file. It will also patch safetynet. No flashing of zips is required

I Do Not Recommend Mixing Bit 1 With Higher Firmware!!!!
Unless Using Bit Safe Firmware That Is Patched​
Downloads
SM-G991U/U1/W- Model
USERDATA_AIO_G991_FORCE_WIPE_NO_BL_10_10_21.tar.md5
This will force a wipe of data no mater what.
Full Odin 3.1.1 Bit1 Safe Firmware
G991USQU4AUFD_BIT1_SAFE.7z
This are odin files and will safely update all image files too bit 4 and keep bit 1 bootloaders. Unfortunately this will wipe data this is beyond my control as it seems to be a side affect of mixing firmware it causes data not to mount and therefore my AIO will format it. This is full firmware with USERDATA_AIO. This will put you on U firmware. Before flashing I recommend removing your google account and make sure in download mode you are not frp locked
If above USERDATA_AIO_G991_FORCE_WIPE_NO_BL is newer than the one in this zip use the newer one from above

Be prepared to have your data wiped. The process tries to determine if you do or do not need to have data wipe but as a precaution just assume your data will be wiped. Especially if using U1 or W firmware
Install Instructions For Newly Unlocked Devices
You must be OEM Unlocked Bootloader
1. On Initial unlock of phone you must through setup and be signed into your google account.
2. Reboot phone too download mode and make sure KG STATUS=CHECKING (see pic) and not PRENORMAL. If PRENORMAL then do step 1 again
View attachment 5217631
3. Use patched 3.14 odin and load file USERDATA_SLOT_G99*U_**.tar.md5 you must choose one of the FORCE_WIPE files and load in the USERSDATA slot of odin and flash file
4. Phone will reboot to TWRP and remove encryption which will wipe phone. Phone will reboot back too TWRP to finish install then reboot to setup
Install Instructions For Updating Firmware On Phone Already Unlocked
1. Reboot phone too download mode and make sure KG STATUS=CHECKING. If not see above
2. Use patched 3.14 odin and load stock firmware in appropriate slots use regular CSC file in the CSC slot and load file one of the USERDATA_SLOT_G99*U_**.tar.md5 in the USERSDATA slot of odin and flash firmware. Do not use the User Data file that comes with firmware.
3. Phone will reboot to TWRP and check for encryption and remove if needed which will wipe phone. If phone is not encrypted data will not be wiped. Phone will reboot back too TWRP to finish install then reboot to setup if data was wiped or reboot normally if it was not
Install Instructions If Updating Images With TWRP
1. When done flashing images in TWRP Reboot phone too download mode and make sure KG STATUS=CHECKING. If not see above.
2. Use patched 3.14 odin and load file USERDATA_AIO_G99*_NO_WIPE_NO_BL.tar.md5 in the USERSDATA slot of odin and flash file.
3. Phone will reboot to TWRP and check for encryption and remove if needed which will wipe phone. If phone is not encrypted data will not be wiped. Phone will reboot back too TWRP to finish install then reboot to setup if data was wiped or reboot normally if it was not.

Hi @jrkruse I dont see anything in Post #2. Might you share "Info For Bootloader Unlocks Can Be Found In Post 2"
991U1 USA Snapdragon
I finished unlock with afaneh and then I flashed USERDATA_AIO_G991_FORCE_WIPE_NO_BL.tar.md5 but ended up with bootloop.
https://imgur.com/WG7uFma
I then went back to post to read. Was I supposed to flash both stockfirmware and the tar file? I only did the tar file in USERDATA slot.
EDIT: Nvm. The black download links download the S20 (981) tar file and that's what I ended up flashing. Fixed by flashing the orange links for the S21 (991).
So I was sent here from the unlocked samsung bootloader's group in telegram because someone's been helping me there for the last day and a half trying to get my Samsung Galaxy watch 3 to pair with my wearables app on my unlocked and rooted s21 ultra and we've had no luck so I guess my question is how does this work? and what do I need to do?

Were you successful pairing you galaxy watch? I was able to pair mine after receiving help from Ali. 3 files need to be modified. If you still need help I have the files and would be willing to share with you so you can see what needs to be edited.

There is a updated version of the galaxy wearable fix in the telegram chat. I am rooted with magisk so i used root explorer to navigate to vender/etc/vintf/ here are two files that need modifying called manifest_lahaina.xml and manifest_shima.xml. Following the guide from the telegram you can execute 3 a few commands in terminal. Or just replaced the files included in the zip and reset the permissions. Permissions need to be rw-r--r--.

Also shared by Ali was fix for smart view and shealth, it's not part of this flashable in OP but think gear fix should be at least discussed. You'll have to modify system/build.prop
Ali stated "For screen sharing and S health following need to be in build prop : ro.config.tima=0
ro.config.iccc_version=iccc_disabled
wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable"
I also edited ro.config.nox=v30 changed it from 30 to 00 so that secret mode works in the samsung browser. See screenshot. And again set permissions to rw-r--r--
Hope this helps!!
I don't suppose any of this watch trickery is in any way applicable to samsung pass?
Does not help samsung pass. I don't know exactly details but samsung pass looks at knox trip and will not work once tripped. Have looked around for a fix but have not had any luck.
Updated files in OP fixed sum bugs. Added new safetynet patch and I think wearable fix now works
Worked like a charm the 1st try. It feels good to be rooted on a Samsung device again. My previous Sammy with root was the s5. Thank you very much!
Are you going to update this to the June patch? I'm hoping to get the Heat issue fix which June addressed.
How do I check to see which bootloader version I have?
The link is incorrect in the OP and links to the SM-996U1. Does anyone have the updated link?
Can you or anyone confirm this works on already magisk rooted G9910?
I just finished setting up the phone and temporarily lost root when i renamed the Magisk app, had to reflash the patched IMG with HOME_CSC and thank god i didnt lose settings
My whole reason for TWRP is the backup/restore functions, so i never have to suffer this kind of heart attack again
I'm on OneUI 4.1 .. is that what "DONT MIX BIT 1" means? should i avoid?
OK, so a few questions here....
I recently downloaded the Android 12 .BIN update via OTA.
Now that I have this 2.5 GB file on my PC, how do I start to make custom roms?
Is this still possible?
I know over time technologies change, is this something people still do?
Where do I upload this file to make it available to others that may be interested in it?
Hello,
I have a Japanese Galaxy S10+ Snapdraon branded for au
CPU-z information: model SCV42_jp_kdi - CPU Qualcomm snapdragon SM8150 8 cores - GPU Adreno 640 - Architecture Kryo 485 - screen 1080x2280 - board msnile - Brand KDDI - model SCV42_jp_kdi
Model number in About phone is SCV42
Model number on box is SM-G975
Bootloader: SCV42KDU1CUD4
Build Number RP1A200720.012.SCV42KDU1CUD4
I have found a matching bootloader here (not sure if this bootloader is needed I have not tried to flash magisk without it) - after flashing the bootloader and patching the official firmware AP with magisk and reinstalling it I get a rooted phone.
The last official rom i could find is dated 2021-04-23.
There are some suspicious sites that claim to have newer firmware that cannot be downloaded without subscribing/paying and then getting taken for a ride throughout links that lead to dead ends.
My first question is can someone who knows this exact model tell me which is the latest official firmware for it? (if available kindly share a link to it)
Edited
The reason I would like the most recent official firmware is to run linux on dex. Currently linux on dex 1.0.51 (which i believe is the last release before it was discontinued - please correct me if I am wrong on this) says it will not run without the latest updates.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It turned out linux on dex only runs on devices with Android 9. So a downgrade is needed instead of an upgrade
Which brings me to my second question: is there a way to know if the hardware in my S10+ model is identical to the hardware on some equivalent USA model? The CPU/GPU are the same but is the rest of the hardware the same? Should the answer be yes would it be possible to flash my device with a more recent official firmware from some USA carrier?
On gsmarena only the following model numbers are listed: SM-G975F/DS (Global); SM-G975U (USA); SM-G975W, on sammmobile SCV42 does not exist. Since the box mentioned model as being SM-G975 I am wondering if there is some naming confusion and a way to figure out which letters to add to SM-G975 to find recent matching firmware or if my model is simply not widespread enough to have received the same attention other models did.
Is there a risk of causing irreversible damage (permanent brick) by trying to upload firmware for another model (most likely candidate SM-G975U)?
My last question is about TWRP, After downloading and flashing the latest S10+ snapdragon image pointed at by the TWRP app my device could not boot. Is there TWRP image compatible with my device?
Many thanks for reading so far and any hints/help provided

Simply installing magisk does not work you have to flash a "cracked rom" before (one that matches your current firmware) installing magisk. I used this one Cracked Rom for the latest available SCV42 firmware (the site requires a registration before allowing downloads).
btw thanks for the help, but i've succed to rooted my phone now using stock rom and magisk

sorry to dig an old thread, did you manage to install an international rom on it? currently trying to get rid of the bloated carrier rom.

On the contrary this thread is meant to attract people who want to solve the same issues. I did not try installing an international ROM (too big a task to regain all configurations and apps) , however my uninformed non expert current belief is that trying another country's ROM is not going to wreck the device. Worse case would be it will not work and official ROM will have to be reinstalled (potentially with a nand reset). I settled for using magisk debloater to hide/uninstall apps I did not want (branding on startup remains).
Here is my debloat list in case it helps: (for ROM SCV42KDU1CUD4)

Yes it is possible. I have the same model running android 11 rooted and unbloated. android 12 should be the same. I have found the rooted boot loader for my model here:

This is just to download a rooted firmware boot section
For the whole rooting guide you will need to find one on this forum. (the one i used installed magisk)

the quick answer is yes it can.
basic summary of the process
activate developer options and toggle OEM unlocking
boot into download mode (might need to plug the phone into a PC not sure) and follow the prompts at the bottom of the screen to complete the unlock.
this WIPES YOUR PHONE COMPLETELY!! back up any files or photos elsewhere.
download the magisk app
download your current firmware or a whole newer update.
copy the AP archive from the firmware to your phone... 6GBs ish
open the magisk app and select to patch a file
patch your AP archive and then copy the newer patched version back to your PC
flash the patched AP along with BL CP and CSC (just to be in not mixing firmware files together).
boot phone and open the magisk app and follow it's prompts to complete the process and that's it.
we have telegram groups for the FE where guys will help you and I'll share a video someone made on rooting the Exynos FE... it might differ from what I've just described if it goes on mention flashing twrp (you can skip that if you want).
