Hi all,
I'm currently trying to acquire the One UI 3 beta for my SM-G973F but I recently updated to the December patch. Is there a way at all to downgrade to the November patch without losing data?
Thank you.
I think if you downgrade it wipes your phone.
I know that you can go back using smart switch and that definitely does wipe the phone. If you take a look at this thread, it seems possible to downgrade without harming data: https://www.droidwin.com/downgrade-samsung-android-11-to-10-oneui-3-oneui-2/

I'm running SLiMM ROM 2.1 with April 2016 Security Patch level. A couple of questions:
1. Is there any way to update just the Security Patch level without flashing a new ROM?
2. Is there any other ROM with updated Security Patch level I can flash on a device with locked bootloader?
3. Is there any other ROM with updated Security Patch level I can flash on a device with unlocked bootloader?
4. What is the latest Security Patch level available for Z3c(locked or unlocked BL)?
4. What is the latest Security Patch level available for Z3c(locked or unlocked BL)?
On stock .291 the Security Patch is : 1 May 2016
Kernel vulnerabilities can easily be patched and flashed on a phone with unlocked bootloader. Other vulnerabilities living in the system won't be as easy to patch.
forever insecure.
z3 compact is definitely my last android phone, i was tired of this ****.
well that kinda sucks. I really like this phone and wanted to continue to use it as a daily driver, but if i cant get it up to date security wise im not sure i will. Hopefully the Paranoid Android project will release working ROM with up to date security patches(since Z3c seems to be pretty much abandoned by CM). The lack of security updates is a really big concern on Android. It's ridiculous that a consumer who is willing to flash his phone himself cant get updated security.

Personally, I don't care about security updates. That artificial drama created around all these flaws and insecurities that are present in Android are just ridiculous... It's probably one a quadrillion chance our devices will be attacked or anything will happen to them. Just use them like it should be used and nothing wrong will happen. I may over exaggerate the problem but telling you won't use your phone because of the security updates is like telling you can't leave your house because there are so many sick people around and you also may get sick. Just don't be so pedantic, really...

I am using android phones since 2009. I dont care about security updates too but no new updates mean no new features, thats why i am sick about these phones. for example, z3 compact didnt get the nougat update, so i will not be able to try multi window feature, which is very useful. Even an iphone 5 gets latest ios update and features, 2012 model phone, 4 years getting updates.
sec patch level on concept 3636 is 1st july 2016

That's because the iPhone hardware and software stays mostly the same each year. They don't make changes that are big enough to make the previous generation obsolete. So if you want to always run software with features that are 2 years behind the trends on hardware that is a year behind the trends, then go to the iPhone. But don't say you want the latest and greatest and then mention iPhone as the solution.
one year later and SONY forget about us..
The next phone will be from another company..

3. CarbonROM 5.1 with security level Nov 2017
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/cr-5-1-carbonrom-t3529766
Regarding number 3, there are some custom ROMs available, such as:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/orig-development/oreo-unofficial-omnirom-t3696536
The ROM mentioned in the link above contains security patches from Dec 2017. Look at the feature list (what's working and what not) before flashing.
Hope that helps
Hello everyone,
I installed the beta app to receive the beta Pie update but I didn't manage to enter in the first 200 places.
Some days after, I received an update from the system menu: the 9.1.0.106(C432E3R1P3log).
Well, I updated it but it became dead slow.
I don't understand if this update was a beta or not: a friend of mine has the same phone but he didn't receive the update.
Can I roll back officially in a way or another?
I tried to install the beta update app but I don't seem to have adherited to any project.
Thanks to anyone who may feedback me about the android Pie update.
Normally resetting the device will help.

I just got the Galaxy Note 9 (SM-N960F/DS) and it's still on Android 8.1.0, security patch level December 1, 2018.
It won't update OTA, nor via Smart Switch.
The build number is M1AJQ.N960FXXS2ARL4, CSC is N960FOXM2ARK2
Is there a way to update it to at least Android 9.0?
Thanks in advance.

I do not know what you mean by genuine, it's original and unlocked.
How do I update it via ODIN if the firmware for this model hasn't been released yet?
Can I use any firmware to do it?

Man, the firmware for that phone with Pie has been release about a year ago..
Just because you didn´t get the OTA does not mean it hasn´t been released.
Just do a search here
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note9/firmware/#SM-N960F
for your country code to get the latest
Also search the forum for the latest ODIN version, and you must know if your phone has a SnapDragon CPU or an Exynos CPU if you would like to install custom roms and/or TWRP recovery
Go for it..
OP your so lucky to be on oreo I'm jealous
Better to Stay on Oreo That Update it to Pie/10

Waw.. How lucky you are.
i think better you stay in Oreo that updated it to Android 9 (Pie) Or Android 10.
IMHO, true Power of Galaxy Note 9 is on Oreo. The Multitasking menu is far usable in Oreo than Pie. The Pro Video mode is basically available on Oreo. also, you can slide the Shutter button to Zoom-in/out. Thats only on Note 9's Oreo.
Believe me, you'll regret it once you've successfully update to Pie. CMIIW
Can safely say that Android 10 OneUI 2.1 is the best software for the Note9.

When I play Asphalt 9 it gets really hot but I'm not a gamer so that's a rare event for me xd That said that's the only game which really heats up my phone so much, others make it normally warmer.
Otherwise i haven't seen any issues at all the last 4 months since I bought the phone, Exynos version as well. I'm on OneUI 2.1 since 1 month ago. I never had the famous screen tint issue that others were reporting.
Mine was stuck on Oreo too. Always said that my device was up to date every time I would check... I downloaded android 10 from some where and used patched od to install it. Had to do a lot of updating of apps when it booted up but that's how it is.

I have a Samsung Note 9 Exynos SM-N960F/DS, Onw UI 2.5 with the latest march 2021 security patch. I have been looking for a way to Root My phone. Since im new to all this, My question is do i use the updated and latest version of the Tools used in the tutorials mentioned or the same will do. or if someone can point me to the latest method for rooting my phone.
I really appreciate any help anyone can provide
Be very careful mate. I ended up in a right mess. I can't flash stock now. Lost my stock recovery...everything. I'm stuck with twrp recovery & custom rom atm. Wish I hadn't bothered.
Hi Everyone,
As you probably know, Microsoft is obsessed with requiring the latest security patch for its applications for enterprises. However, Xiaomi can't keep up with the updates. I was wondering if there is a way to update security patch it manually with root or without root. This is literally effecting my experience while using a premium phone.
I received a new update 13.0.7.0 today. Right on time. I was about to sell my phone tomorrow. Very frustrated.
