So I never posted here but I usually pass by some topics so sorry for any mistake in creating this discussion. Today I deleted some stuff from my S20 FE and downloaded via OTA the march security update in my device, then I was caught by surprise when saw it restarting more than once, instantly I panicked cause this happened years ago with another cellphone and I was like "oh no, not again". Unfortunatelly I'm a idiot for not backing up most of my files over the last year and now I really want some suggestions of you guys for solving It and possibly without losing any data cause there are so much important things. I saw something about using Odin to unbrick It, but I'm afraid it delete everything. I'm not a newbie, I usually did custom ROM my other phones and stuff and once I managed to recover some stuff using adb pull as far as I remember.
Important information:
- It's the snapdragon variant with 4g and Is running the latest update of Android 13
- Apparently Is soft-brick, the cellphone can go to download mode, but I couldn't make It go into fastboot
- When I manage to do the stuff to go to fastboot, appears the android robot loading something, It goes to 100% and bootloop again
- It is detected by the PC, but It isn't listed as a acessible storage neither It files
- Only way to turn It off Is discharging and with a lot of restarts It's heating a lot
Please, I beg for help! Anything might help!
For modern Samsung phones, there is only download or recovery mode.
If you're trying to get a fastboot mode that doesn't exist, you're going to hit strange places.
Try a 1-file firmware flash in Odin. Perhaps the data will remain intact.
You absolutely can't use 4-file firmware for flashing, because you will definitely wipe everything from the phone.
there is a way that I have not tried on a semi-breick.
using odin,
BL
PA.
CP.
CSC_HOME.
(MUST BE CSC_HOME NOT THE NORMAL CSC)
So it doesn't format the internal storage. It is as if you updated via ota.
Go into download mode and follow the procedure.
look for the system identical to that of the ota or a version earlier.
I update my cell phone like this, I never get the updates by ota,
so under the most current system, I open odin.
I put everything in its place, the CSC_HOME is the one I use and not the normal CSC.
This makes it only update and does not delete anything, as if it were an ota.
I did it recently from the January to February patch.

excuse me, but what's a 4-file firmware? My principal concern is about the software I''ll flash, cause the one that got me a problem was a security patch of 1gb of content, and when I download the last one in these sites is a 6gb file apparently listed as the same date I got, so I kinda confused If it screws one and for all. Other thing I was thinking about It's if It's possible to use any adb command like adb pull or something, principally cause I'm afraid I couldn't manage to install a 6gb file because the device is short in storage

So I searched for the last one, couldn't find the 1gb security patch cause It's only available a 6gb but with the same date as the one I instaled via OTA. Well, my concern is that I don't have these 6gb available in my device, and I was thinking about the adb pull command, I haven't tried yet adb commands at the moment, but It was the solution I used years ago in a Motorola device and managed so rescue most of my files, do you think It's an option or there Is any other way I could manage to get some available storage to install the firmware via odin or even try to "naturally" unbrick It, cause maybe the problem It's beeing caused by insufficient storage, right? Only thing I know It's I am hella anxious about It

hello colleague a way of not losing anything. It's how I describe it to you. download system 6.44 gb android 13. it can be current patch or a previous one. you load the whole system by odin and you must put CSC_HOME not normal CSC.

It doesn't matter if you have 1 GB of internal storage.. odin will only update the system. It will not integrate the 6.44 gb of the system .. only what is necessary to update without losing mada

So what's a 1-file and 4-file firmware? The one I download does have AP, BL, CP CSC, that would be an 4-file firmware for flashing? I saw this information about https://android.stackexchange.com/q...msung-4-filesrepairing-firmware-and-single-fi
Well, about the 4-file, there is problem of wiping everything even if using CSC_home? Some research and other response told It would not, but what's your opinion about? Btw, I appreciate the effort to help. Thanks.
Using firmware.zip containing 4 files will clear the partition before flashing.
Therefore, the suggestion to upload only CSC_HOME may not solve the problem described in the OP.
There may be data loss, although this is not certain.
If you find reliable information from some user that the data will not be deleted, then the risk of data loss will be less, but it will be there nonetheless.
Since you don't have the ability to run the phone in download mode to wipe the cache partition, the only sensible choice to revive the phone is to renew the partition with 4-file firmware.
Please treat my post as advice and not as an oracle.
You will have to make the final decision on the course of action yourself.

Hello colleague.
Well, for my part I tell you that you comment wrongly.
I update security patches by odin.
It's already 3 times that I update by odin only the patches and it doesn't delete anything at all.
I use the 4 files, have you ever done it or do you just comment it without having done it?
I repeat the procedure
open odin and load the files like this.
BL_G781USQU9HWB2_G781USQU9HWB2_MQB61904472_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
AP_G781USQU9HWB2_G781USQU9HWB2_MQB61904472_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta_OS13.tar.md5
CP_G781USQU9HWB2_CP23675490_MQB61904472_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
HOME_CSC_OYN_G781UOYN9HWB2_MQB61904472_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
Until now, when the odin process is finished, my s20 fe turns on and a screen appears
like the one I will upload.
I am giving a possible solution to the problem that he asks for, let's hope it solves his problem.
If the system continues to give problems, it would be to look for another alternative.
I invite you to investigate
what is the use of CSC_HOME
Search on Google:
How to update my samsung without losing information.
you will see the instructions,
I already did it and nothing was deleted (I was afraid because it was the first time I did it, but it was successful)
If you have doubts, you can keep looking.
I only gave my opinion about a procedure that I currently do with my s20 faith.
I have not lost information, good luck colleagues.

Entonces, ¿qué es un firmware de 1 y 4 archivos? El que descargo si tiene AP, BL, CP CSC, ese seria un firmware de 4 archivos para flashear? Vi esta información sobre https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/141460/what-is-the-difference- between-samsung-4-filesrepairing-firmware-and-single-fi
Bueno, sobre el archivo 4, ¿hay un problema de borrar todo incluso si se usa CSC_home? Algunas investigaciones y otras respuestas dijeron que no lo haría, pero ¿cuál es su opinión? Por cierto, agradezco el esfuerzo de ayudar. Gracias.

Well, I did everything about the home_CSC using the last firmware available but no success, only positive thing that happened Is that now I can access the recovery mode. So I was thinking of trying other firmware that Is available and kinda matches the date that the last update came. If you guys have any more advice I'd appreciate and thanks for the help so far

I remember installing wps office app when my device restarted to install the system update, it's my main suspect about what caused the bootloop. Well, I appreciate your sugestion but could you please guide me in this proccess? I'm new to Samsung and the last time I managed to use ADB commands was in Motorola, now in samsung I guess I'm not doing the procedure as I should.

Well it could be the problem. The problem is that with a unlocked phone (via TWRP) we can use ADB commands.
Put your phone on download mode and try this fastboot command:
fastboot reboot recovery
or
fastboot reboot bootloader
then try:
List all disabled apps:
[email protected]:/ # pm list packages -d
package:com.android.calculator2
package:com.google.android.apps.inputmethod.hindi
package:jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime.ml

and tell me what apps are disabled.

Can jump from version G925AUCS5DPK5 to this version ? when flash is stuck in odin, is there any way to do it, stays in file analysis for a long time but does not load, any idea how to fix it?:crying:
Here's everything I've tried
1) Change USB port
2) Administrator mode
4) Rebooted phone
5) rebooted computer
...... any other idea ?
Does this require a phone to be on a specific version before flashing? Just want to be sure everything is good to go before moving forward.

Now it´s working, I unzip all 4 files to md5, and then load the ROM successfully, but it stuck on black screen for about 30 min and never started, I had to go down to the previous version now with imei corrupt and now my cell phone no longer has signal, I do not know what went wrong or where I was wrong?
I flash this files in my g925aucu4dph5 phone, I will upgrade to nougat? What about ADB files? Do you have a video tutorial to this process?
just received my g925a 128GB version, currently has the build number LMY47X.G925AUCU3BOJ7, can i use Odin 3.10.6 and just flash this on it after zipping all 4 files down to md5? (bl, ap, cp, csc)??/
I'mgoing to assume it will not b rootabe after this? If so, to what firmware can i. should i update to so that I may root as flash some other ROM? What I really want to accomplish is just rid myself of all the AT&T bloat, as I do not use AT&T.......and would like to be a more newer version of android then 5.1.1
excuse of it seems nubish, but been using OnePlus One for 3 years now, and stumbled upon getting this phone on a great deal on getting this phone for $240.....so new to the samsung scene, but not to the rooting/bootloading unlocking flashing scene....
Also saw that another poster lost his storage flashing odin....something not cool on a 128gb device and another lost his imei....not cool either
Thanks for the update! Worked beautifully. Now waiting for may update.
Once you load these are we supposed to get updates from ATT? I ask b/c when I hit update it never finds anything and I don't have the most current OS I have the previous to current using these methods to update
has anybody done this without losing original storage or imei??? have a 128GB att edge and would not want this error to occur on mine...still in 5.1.1 build OJ7....

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Hi all!
First a warning: I tell you how what I done, applying this on different model is possible but require some knowledge... don't try if you are not enough experienced.
My BTV-DL09 had a C100B303 firmware (unlocked, rooted with SuperSu 2.82) and I wanted to upgrade to last version, B310, downloaded with Firmware Finder for Huawei.
But this formware is not yet approved for my device! So i searched a way to update the firmware and found HuRUpdater.
Here the step-by-step tutorial:
1) download version B310
2) rename files (required by HuRUpdater):
- update_data_full_public.zip -> update_data_public.zip
- update_full_BTV-DL09_hw_eu.zip -> update_all_hw.zip
3) download HuRUpdater, I used version 0.3 if a new is available read what's changed.
4) (optional) download custom recovery (in this case the Greatslon TWRP for EMUI 5) and rename it "recovery.img"
5) copy all files to SD, in a subfolder (don't use "dload")
6) install, if not already present, the custom recovery
7) boot to the recovery and install "HuRUpdater_0.3.zip"
8) follow on-screen instructions than reboot!
At this point the Mediapad was working BUT
A) without root
B) with a "half" lock: the bootloader says it's unlocked but refused to flash or boot a custom recovery.
Problem B: I had to re-unlock the booloader with command
fastboot oem unlock 12345678901234567980
I accepted that my data will be erased (I have a backup, you too???) and the Mediapad rebooted.
I was lucky because the data was not erased and the bootloader now was fully unlocked. I'm not sure if this works for all of you so backup your data before. (***)
Problem A: not the custom recovery is booting so I flashed Magisk 15.3 (I had this version on other devices and don't wanted to do more testing for that day). It installed correctly, rebooted and
that's all folks!
(***) Here the enlightenment: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78194270&postcount=1029 from @zxz0O0
In short: flash also the custom recovery!
I have a M3 that can only boot up to twrp. I am trying to fix this tablet, since the previous owner accidentally erased the system partition, and it will not load. I did a search using the firmware finder, but wasn't sure I did it right, alot of versions came up. I do not know what software version was on it, before it got messed up. All I know is that it was bought less than two months ago. I was hoping someone could post a direct link to the firmware that I could use to get this tablet up and running again. the original owner lives in the US, as do I. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

First you need to know the exact model. One method can be this:
0) insert an SD card
1) boot the TWRP
2) open the terminal
3) execute the command:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/oeminfo of=/external_sd/oeminfo.img
this will copy the OEMINFO partition to the SD card.
4) open the oeminfo.img file with a hex editor and search for "BTV", do not stop to the first occurrence: there are some and you will find the exact firmware code that was installed.
5) search a FULL firmware with FW finder than flash it!

Hello. I messed up my M3 trying to update and now Bluetooth does not work.
My firmware shows in Settings as "testkeys", so I don't really now what firmware is, probably B302 since security patch is from November 2017.
I am trying to flash full firmware again and do a full wipe. I tried to do it via TWRP and eRecovery too, but both methods fail.
I also tried the method the OP mentioned with no luck either (maybe because mine is the WiFi-only European version).
What should I do? How do I go back to stock? I don't care if I lose my data or if I have to relock bootloader again, I just want my M3 to work properly again!

I may be not enough experienced nor skilled but I've been unlocking, rooting and changing roms to my phones since Android 2.1 era, that was many years ago as you know.
I know that the model is BTV-W09, I just said that OEMINFO says BTV-W09C100B006 when searching "btv" with an hex-editor following YOUR instructions from your earlier post.
Anyway, thanks for nothing, I finally found a solution by myself writing the required images one by one trough ADB.
Have a nice day.
I had to have messed up something quite well, I ran the updater, everything seemed to go fine, but when I rebooted, it wont go off the Huawei MediaPad android screen, and I can not get it back into TWRP , or get it to do anything else, any help would be greatly appreciated.

First you need to know the exact model. One method can be this:
0) insert an SD card
1) boot the TWRP
2) open the terminal
3) execute the command:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/oeminfo of=/external_sd/oeminfo.img
this will copy the OEMINFO partition to the SD card.
4) open the oeminfo.img file with a hex editor and search for "BTV", do not stop to the first occurrence: there are some and you will find the exact firmware code that was installed.
5) search a FULL firmware with FW finder than flash it!

Model?
Firmware previously on tablet?
Firmware that you installed?
Which files you used?
The update procedure was successfully or there was some message?
Model number is BTV-W09
Do not know the original firmware, but I apparently read the model number wrong when I looked it up. I used BTV-DL09. TWRP said install was a success ( I used the HuRUupdater thru TWRP) The files used was the full OTA , the update_full_BTV-DL09_dialcu_cn.zip, as well as the update_data_full_public.zip. I changed the file name to the names that were needed to run HuRUpdater. So my question is does anyone know how to fix my mistake?
I was able to get it into fastboot mode, but it said the phone was locked, and was not picked up by my computer.

NEVER install the software for one model on a different hardware. NEVER!
What TWRP says it's not important: it only wrote some files on a disk but it's not of interest what is inside these files.
You have to flash an appropriate firmware, no other options.
how can I flash the the firmware, if I no longer have TWRP, or when I can get into flashboot mode, the computer does not recognize the tablet? . Here is a probably stupid question: do I look for BTV-W09, which is the model of MY tablet?

You have to unpack the firmware and flash the partition images with flashboot.
Search the forum for "Huawei Update Extractor".
which of these are the partition images? Second stupid question, I tried to get in to fastboot, but the computer would not recognize the tablet

All of this are partition images!
The problem is that you have to write all relevant partitions that was written from bad firmware!
Often boot.img is enough to have TWRP working.
What about if I can't get the computer to recognize the tablet in fastboot mode?

Hi all,
Please help me out!
I have a note 8 with (N950U) - XAA/XAA/SPR - and I have not received a single OTA update!
I used the firmware science method to install a few updates and flashed (using Odin) when Oreo was released.
But now I want to solve this issue and start receiving OTA updates. I do not mind using Odin again to get this sorted - but preferable not lose my data.
Thank you

Thnx
You have a branded device but not linked with any carrier in US. Change your firmware to an unbranded one and from CRL2 you will receive the last oreo stable CSA1 or you can download the firmware directly from an app like Updato from Google Play and wait that a beta stable on pie will be released.

Last Oreo Odin rom available:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397886161
Staying in this version you have to theoretically receive updates from OTA

Thank you i am going to try this.
Question, the guide says "Note - If you are flashing Unlocked Firmware from Carrier Firmware you must use Prince Comsy Odin otherwise, use regular Odin."
So, in my case i am going from a 950U firmware to 950U1, should i use odin or prince comsy odin? and is there a way to keep my data? or will it be reset for sure?

Use the modded Odin mentioned.
You can keep your data but in this case you will go to switch to a different firmware so is better that you do a backup with SmartSwitch and them go to recovery, do a format/factory reset , then in Odin flash the firmware, reboot and restore your data

I'm not sure what exactly is Comsy, I read about it but I guess this was an older version, I used the patched version linked in one of my previous posts and works like a charm. I switch from N950U to N950U1 and I had any trouble doing this procedure. About keep your data if you use Home_CSC you will preserve it but you need to delete your old CSC that is where go the preferences of a carrier, so you have to use CSC_oyn file instead

If you are not using a Sprint sim and your device is not a locked carrier (under contract) this message can't appear.
If you follow all the steps, factory resetting first in recovery, then flashing the CRL2 firmware including CSC_oyn then the bloat from the carrier has to be deleted.
It's probably too that you backed up settings with Smart Switch and then restored it, if this is the case try by factory resetting again and restore your backup but not your settings, also check any app related with sim provider that you backed up avoiding restore it.
Need help please

Hi, like Ahmed I also have a SM-N950U XAA/XAA/SPR. My note 8 is not receiving OTA update and it seems like it never will (writing on 01-Apr-2019). Its probably because im using it in Pakistan. Im fairly new to the OTA and manual OS flashing thing. I dont understand any CRL2 or 3 whatever it is.. I would really appreciate if i could get a step by step guide about how to do it since im going to be making a transition from Nougat to Oreo (Or pie of possible). Please please i would really appreciate your help. as i dont want to brick my phone and i dont know what to do.
Thanks a bunch.

Well, the steps are in all the thread.
Let´s go for the obvious first; I guess actually you are not using a sim card from US so you are out of US now and then no need on any carrier´s bloat.
You need first of all switch to an unbranded firmware, it´s mean from N950U to N950U1.
If you are actually on nougat then flash this firmware that is the latest Oreo since you can upgrade after to Pie https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397886161 Use this modded Odin to flash it https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657595813
Process to flash through Odin and switch correctly to unbranded firmware:
- First of all backup your important data using SmartSwitch (you can do it on a SDCard inside your device)
- Enable USB Debugging in developer options and OEM unlock if present.
- Go to recovery and Factory Reset/Format Data.
- Then use menu "Reboot to bootloader" to go to download mode.
- Load the files on Odin and from the two CSC choose CSC_OYN to delete/reset all the preferences, start flashing and wait PASS message.
- Reboot normally to system.
From here to upgrade to Pie go to this site https://firmware.science and complete the following: Model number: SM-N950U1 (this will be from now your model number), in Current version put the firmware ended with CRL2 (the firmware that you flashed previously) and download the first Beta ended on CSAB; move the zip onto your device and go to recovery and flash it using Update from sdcard (this could be wipe again your data).
If you want to update to the second Beta repeat the previous process; complete as Current version: firmware ended on CSAB and choose and download firmware ended on CSBB (less sized).
And finally to go to the last Beta available do the same, Current version; firmware ended on CSBB and download firmware ended on ZSC2 and flash it again using recovery updater.
It could be more Betas but not available yet on Firmware.science.
From beta firmware it´s unlikely that you receive OTA but when an Official Pie be release theoretically you have to receive them normally or if you want to receive them just now then you have to stay on Oreo CRL2 you´ll receive an Oreo OTA update CSA1 (more or less 40MB) and wait from there that an official Pie will be release.
First of all thanks a lot for getting back to me so quick i really appreciate it. Yes youre right about not using the US sim card. If you could just bare with my rookie questions a bit more.
Do i download the "firmware" and modded odin into my note 08 by following your shared links or do i have to download them into PC. If phone, then shud it be on SD card or internal storage?
Second, """Go to recovery and Factory Reset/Format Data.
- Then use menu "Reboot to bootloader" to go to download mode.
- Load the files on Odin and from the two CSC choose CSC_OYN to delete/reset all the preferences, start flashing and wait PASS message.
- Reboot normally to system."""
I only know how to enable developer mode. Thats when you tap built number. But debugger and OEM idk that. And everything you mentioned in """ how do i do it ? Whats to be done on PC and what on computer i have no clue. Youll have to guide me like a child about this i apologise.
Judging by your pie statements. Thats very techincal to do. So i believe its better off going for Oreo for now and wait for the Pie update automatically.
Thanks in advance

The first firmware linked at Android File Host is Oreo, this firmware you have to flash it using Odin so download it with your pc and put it in any place of your preference onto your pc DON´T move it to your device.
Second, """Go to recovery and Factory Reset/Format Data.

This is indicated to make a clean flash, to delete/reset some APN preferences and some traces that came preinstalled with this device linked to a carrier.

Unzip the firmware that you downloaded till get some files in .tar format, within these files you´ll find two CSC files, choose the CSC_OYN file and not the CSC_HOME on the CSC box and all the other files load them on every corresponding box: BL, AP, CP that you´ll find in Odin.
I only know how to enable developer mode. Thats when you tap built number. But debugger and OEM idk that. And everything you mentioned in """ how do i do it ? Whats to be done on PC and what on computer i have no clue. Youll have to guide me like a child about this i apologise.

No, I refer to OEM unlock option but I forgot that this option is not visible in this variant so forget it, just enable Developer Options and USB Debugging that you will find them then to tap on build number 7 times.
Here´s a tutorial about how to use Odin https://androidmtk.com/flash-samsung-stock-rom-using-odin just replace some step by the indicated here.

Really is not so hard to do all this but if you´re not so familiar you can flash just the firmware linked and wait for an OTA prompt update.
I'm currently on rooted:
XQ-AT51_Customized UK_1321-7192_58.0.A.0.1040_R8A
Looking to update to:
XQ-AT51_Customized UK_1321-7192_58.0.A.3.31_R8A
What's the best way to do this?
Research seems to suggest delete all .TA files aswell as the userdata file and if that works, to flash an extracted/pactched boot.img that I've already prepped. Though some users mention that they then get a decryption error resulting in the need to fully wipe.
I'd be grateful to hear from anyone who has successfully updated their Xperia 1 ii (with Flashtool or newflasher?).
Many thanks
Bump - anyone successfully updated their rooted firmware yet?
I assumed by flashing to Customized UK we would still get updates pushed to the phone? I flashed my new device last week to 58.0.A.3.39 and assumed if I wanted to update it'd ask me through my settings. Do I have to manually do this now?

Hmm I thought that by being rooted/bootloader unlocked it's messed with the system updates. See attached, as Xperia Assist says there's an update available yet then clicking via Software Update it says I'm up to date.
I'm on 58.0.A.0.1040 customized UK and yet there's 58.0.A.3.39 available via Xperifirm
I updated my AT52 from 3.31 to 3.39 with newflasher. Worked fine. Haven't tried to remove the userdata file to not lose all my stuff though, gonna try that for the next update.
Basically I downloaded with xperifirm and just ran newflasher and went through the prompts, didn't remove any files because I wanted to flash all partitions. Then patched the boot.img from that firmware and flashed through fastboot.

Removing userdata_X-FLASH-CUST-2389.sin from the directory before running newsflasher should be equivalent to a dirty flash. But I've never tried it since this is my first Sony device since the Z1.

Yup, though a thought is to perhaps get a sd card and use that for most data. Least that way when internal storage gets wiped, the sd card would be untouched. Not been able to do that for a while!

Feels good to have an sd card to put all your backups on again doesn't it haha. I will not miss having to back up the internal storage slowly through USB2.0 just in case I have to wipe the entire storage.
I'm going to try a dirty flash on the next firmware update and hopefully I don't soft brick it again. Not having TWRP is new and scary to me.
Bump
With an updated firmware slowly rolling out (the one adding the RAW support and July security update) patch) etc, anyone managed to update when bootloader unlocked and rooted, avoiding losing data?
If I have to do a clean flash it wouldn't be the end of the world but I would love to avoid the hassle of (even with the usage of Swift Backup etc) and little things like not losing my autobrightness settings which have been learning my usage etc
As others have said, delete the userdata file to make sure that partition isn't erased. I don't think dirty flashing is as a big of a deal as people are making it out to be nowadays.
Just make sure you extract and pre-patch the new boot image with Magisk before you flash.

When the time comes I'll certainly give that a go, though will indeed br sure to make a full backup in case.

Newflasher guy gets mad when you talk about anything other than flashing every file so I'll post my update here.
Removed persist.sin and userdata.sin from the 3.88 update and ran through newflasher v33. Booted right back up and lost no data. YMMV.
I'm no pro to all this but I rooted for WiFi calling when I first got the phone. The other day I saw the update for Raw on my phone and updated just fine!?

By "rooting" for WiFi calling did you just flash another customization or did you unlock the bootloader? AFAIK there's no reason to root for getting WiFi calling as flashing another firmware is the easiest way.

If you unlocked your bootloader then you will not be able to take OTAs. You do not need to have bootloader unlocked to flash another stock firmware (ie through flashtool or newflasher). You do need to have bootloader unlocked to obtain root privileges.

I unlocked my Xperia 1 II, downloaded the latest raw update from XperiFirm, deleted the userdata file, put the phone into download mode (vol. down + power), flashed via NewFlasher v33.
Phone booted up perfectly fine. Running the latest update and have raw option for all 3 cameras.
The only time your device will wipe is when you first unlock the bootloader. Otherwise, you shouldn't have any issues updating it.
Hello.
I've been playing with some custom ROMs, recoveries, etc. on S10 SM-G973F. Every time something went wrong I was able to flash stock Android 11 ROM with Odin and run the system after that. But not anymore...
At this moment I have access to Recovery Mode (stock, TWRP, LineageOS... whichever I flash with Odin) and Download Mode. When I try to power on the phone with button or with an option Boot to System from Recovery the phone turns off and nothing else happens. Black screen only, no vibration, etc.
I tried to format data and cache in Stock Recovery and TWRP. I tried to flash many time, changed USB cable, change USB port... nothing helps.
What is strange that after I flash the stock recovery the phone boots one time displaying the unlocked bootloader warning, Samsung logo and Android robot icon with an Erasing sign... but just for a 1-2s, very short time. Before the problem occurred the Erasing took much much more time. After that one time I cannot make to display bootloader unlocked warning and Samsung logo any more, no matter which ROM or recovery I flash.
Maybe you can try installing the original firmware and start over again.
That is what I do in the first place, I try to flash the original firmware with Odin. I use the same files as before. The only difference I can see is that after the flashing the Erase progress was very long and now it is only 1-2s and the phone turns off.
Ok, I've found my mistake and a solution. I will post it here if anyone else has a similar problem.
So while I was playing with different ROMs one of them had an instruction to flash G973FXXSCFUH5-twrp_flashable.zip that included:
modem.bin
dt.img
dtbo.img
cm.bin
sboot.bin
up_param.bin
keystorage.bin
uh.bin
The zip included was to an older firmware G973FXXSCFUH5, while I was already on newer G973FXXSEFUJ2. But the TWRP that I used to flash the zip did not protest and the process finished well. Causing the problems above of course.
Don't know why but flashing the whole original G973FXXSEFUJ2 firmware with Odin was not enough. But when I flashed G973FXXSEFUJ2-twrp_flashable.zip from the TWRP worked and made the phone operational again.
hello, I am in the same situation after having wanted to install blastui I find myself with the possibility of starting only in dow load or in twrp. Can you help me

0. Make sure your phone is charged!
1. Check your current SW# in Download mode (the number stands for the number or letter in firmware code, the 5th sign from the end in hexadecimal, for example SW# 14 is E in G973FXXSEFUJ2_G973FOXMEFUJ2)
2. Find the proper version of bootloader and modem in ....-twrp_flashable.zip format (check here: https://github.com/corsicanu/9820-bootloaders_and_modems/releases)
3. Flash and run TWRP recovery.
4. Flash the zip file from #2.
Flashing the stock firmware with Odin was not enough for me. Flashing with TWRP made the S10 back to alive.

1. Check your current SW# in Download mode (the number stands for the number or letter in firmware code, the 5th sign from the end in hexadecimal, for example SW# 14 is E in G973FXXSEFUJ2_G973FOXMEFUJ2)
2. Find the proper version of bootloader and modem in ....-twrp_flashable.zip format (check here: https://github.com/corsicanu/9820-bootloaders_and_modems/releases)
3. Flash and run TWRP recovery.
4. Flash the zip file from #2.
Flashing the stock firmware with Odin was not enough for me. Flashing with TWRP made the S10 back to alive.

There is not much more to explain, just follow the steps I pointed. If any of them are not clear enough just ask, but I tried to make them as simple as possible If your English is not to well just try to use Google Translator.

Best way to go back to stock rom is simply flash it with Odin from original files available from Samsung, for example on SamMobile:

Thanks for the help brother I appreciate it
For months I've tried searching for a solution to fix my SM-N976U that stopped booting up. None of the symptoms shared fully matched what I was experiencing, so every fix I attempted didn't get her fully functioning again, eventually I gave up trying, stuffed the phone in a drawer and just bought another one. Today I stumbled upon your post and every symptom you described fit exactly with what happen to me, I mean to the T, minus the model and fw version. So I grabbed my SM-N976U one more time and followed your solution... and guess what??? I am now a proud owner of 2 note 10 plus'!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and solution!! Cheers to you bud! Have a great New Year!
Thank you~! my s10 plus is back!
