Hello everyone,
Last week, I did something stupid. I was looking into updating my Samsung Galaxy S10 to Android 13, and for that, I had to perform a bootleg on my phone. Since I don't have enough knowledge about it, I followed a video tutorial. However, I don't think they explained everything correctly because I encountered an error while loading my phone. To fix this, I had to reinstall the firmware and then restart it. But after the restart, the Samsung interface and all my apps appeared much larger, which is extremely annoying. I have already tried going to the accessibility options and adjusting the icon grid, but it only helps with a small part of the interface. Can someone help me?
I know it's dumb to do this without enough knowledge, but I still wanted to give it a try.
What do you mean by "bootleg"?

I'm not sure how it is called I thought it called bootleg.
I got stuck in the blue Download screen for samsung s10.
It looked like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After that I had to reinstall the firmware but I didn't find a firmware option for my country so I installed from a country nextdoor.
When I signed in to the phone the UI was waaay bigger than before.
You mean you installed a different CSC? As long as the firmware is for your model number, it should be fine. To change the UI size go into Display Settings.
What is the model number of your device? I can help you look for the latest firmware on SamMobile.

Yes other country but the right firmware. I already changed the display settings but that doesn't solve the problem. my interface in different apps is also way bigger.
My model number is: SM-G973F/DS
Country: Belgium
(but I installed from the Netherlands, but i think that is not the problem)

Did you wipe data when you installed the firmware?

I didn't wipe it before I started the download.
I didn't do enough research because suddenly I got a message that it was wiping everything. what I didn't want
Well, I would always recommend wiping data when flashing a different CSC.

What should I do to get my old ui back should I do another firmware update to hopefully get my old interface back. I think it could have something to do with the android version?
Before I did the firmware manually I just had the stock phone with its automatic update. I see there are different android version for the samsung s10. with the firmware update I now have:
android: 12
One UI version: 4.1

So, what's the basic difference between the different "branches" of the firmwares?
I believe consensus was that the JM firmware is some sort of in-development or test version, any idea what the difference is between JJ & JK? I know there's been official updates for the JJ series pushed out via Kies, is the same true of JK?
Since there doesn't seem to be any obvious difference between them, is there a good reason to stick with one versus another for the sake of legitimacy?
Also - does anyone want me to throw together a super-root UPDATE.ZIP for the tab? (Shell root, busybox & superuser) or are people happy with z4 & super one-click?
JJ and JK means Oct 2010 and Nov 2010
nothing special
samfirmware code has it
that means JK is newer since it released on November
tha latest should be JL
there shouldnt be any JM
thats why maybe people here call it some sort of test firmware
the area region is the 2 digit before JJ/JK
like DX for SE Asia, or XX/XW for europe
as the last number is the version, which generally means bigger is newer
official always out later then the unofficial ones, so in my logic, the JJ update via Kies is the most stable that samsung tested
it doesnt mean the JK ones is not stable, maybe they havent got the time to test it yet
JM are typically test firmwares.
I got a JK5 through Kies last week up from European XXJI.

Yep, that's the official update indeed. See links below to learn how to use the CheckFUS app (instead of Kies) to determine firmware availability:

According to the Kies registry entry, my product code is GT-P1000CWACPW.
The CWA part seems to be a complete orphan, most of the codes seem to be HK? of some form. Guess I should've left it on the stock JJ3 firmware.
I've grabbed one of the 550Mb CPW firmware files, decrypted it, unzipped it and flashed it as the PDA file in Odin (no PIT, no repartition).
It's flashed the kernel, cache partition, factoryfs partition (/data and /system etc. I assume), got to the "hidden" partition and hung. Still trying to work out what's going on. Looks like people are having no success with this partition (which by the sounds of it has the full version of NovaHD in it, so not hugely useful).
Once extracted the .tar was over 600MB, took a long time to flash it all! Probably not wisest to flash it in a virtual machine running on a hackintosh.
Edit: Just used Heimdall to flash the individual components using the standard P1.PIT, I left out the "hidden" partition, will just mount it as a loop device and manually copy the data into the main FS.
Edit2: Yup, the hidden.rfs file just has the full copy of NovaHD in it, the demo Movies (trailers) and a DioDict.apk.
can anybody use that nova apk? if the answer is yes, can you upload it? ^^
My understanding (and I'm a n00b so don't flame!) Is that CSC is the carrier customization portion of the firmware, and that CPW stands for Car Phone Warehouse...
According to FUS I'm on the latest stock UK firmware...

Fxxk yeah, finally!
Downloading right now
I've got it too. For some reason the drop down menu has changed to an uglier shade of yellow green, the colour of frog excrement.. Otherwise don't really notice significant changes. Samsung has layered the ui so much that it just looks like.. Well Samsung. Not very evident it's lollipop tbh
If anyone is manually flashing the ROM using ODIN, check your CSC beforehand. There are two different regions of NZ that Samsung released the update for, which are TNZ and NZC. If you flash the wrong CSC version, your CSC will turn to an unknown state meaning that you won't be receiving OTA updates in the future. I have the Taiwan version (BRI) and I flashed the NZC version and now the CSC state is unknown. It's still Lollipop, but you will have to manually flash every updates released from this point forward.

It must be how Samsung programmed its CSC for the ROM. When the official ROM comes out for your region, you can restore using Kies 3 or Smart Switch. Then, you will get OTA updates as usual like you did before.

weird, I flashed NZC (formerly had BRI) and mine was still BRI. I did some benchmarking and I guess it was a little "dirty" and was getting really low results. So I just went into recovery wiped data and cache. Now my device claims to be NZC and works flawlessly. Best of luck

Unresponsive touchscreen after Lollipop
Hi there guys,
After updating my Galaxy Note 4 n910U to Lollipop via OTA, the touchscreen just became unresponsive. The update went on smoothly and my phone booted fine and it's on Lollipop now. I can navigate normally using the screen through the S-Pen but it just would not respond to touch. Very frustrating. New device, been waiting for this update and this happens. Please help.
Thanks!

You could try factory reset in recovery followed by a cache wipe and a repeat factory reset. Flash the NZC firmware again. After flashing again go to recovery and do a factory reset followed by a cache wipe and another factory reset. Boot and check if you are able to still see the csc in unknown status.
thx for the tip,
I'll probably wait for the HK version of Lollipop and then go back to the original csc

NE3 (kitkat) which is easily rootable, which you can then go to lollipop (and keep root) easily enough from there, should you wish. MF1 is ancient, no wonder it's giving you issues.
Even if you don't need or want root, go with NE3. It's the most stable of the recent builds, and from there you can either stay on kitkat or easily upgrade to lollipop, with or without root.

DON'T use kies. Trust me on that. The download link you asked for. Extract all four files and use all four concurrently with Odin should look like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

I would strongly recommend using Odin v3.09 if you aren't already, I have it for you if you need. Yes I realize the picture shows 3.07 but trust me I've done this a million times
Alright I'm gonna do it right now hopefully no errors occur I'm gonna post to tell you what happens
Oh! I should mention, when you do this, your phone will automatically reboot on its own a couple times, and one of those times will be to the stock android recovery. This is completely normal, just leave your phone alone and let Odin do its thing. I say this because I've seen so many people freak out when their phone starts doing stuff on its own. Just let Odin go, it knows what it's doing. Good luck!
The Firmware I am on is G977UVRU0ASDG
I tried to update OTA and update assistant for PC and both failed saying this firmware cannot be updated. So I am really confused. Can someone confirm any further info about this firmware version? I enjoy the phone and I decided one day to check why I haven't gotten Android 10, and thus this is where I am now.
Also is it as simple as flashing the latest firmware via odin? If so, which site offers a dependable VZW firmware I can try flashing? Can I keep my files or would I have to make a backup first, flash via odin, then restore (which I hate to do because setting up a new phone takes so much time).
But most importantly I am curious to know more about this firmware version and what it is! Seems like VZW doesn't think its theirs. Thank you in advance.
Smartswitch says SDG, what is SDG? Is there a simple refresh/fix so that I can get OTA updates? Please help!

yeah, there were actually some crazy gestures that i noticed they got rid of in the FW i got it to upgrade to. LOL.
I'm having similar issues with the same firmware. Did you ever find a way to update your phone? I bought mine on ebay, supposedly NIB, but it came in generic packaging and said "demo" on a sticker on the back of the phone.

Hello peeps,
I recently purchased a Redmi 9, it came with MiUI Global 11.0.7 Stable (QJCLMCR). I've been trying to update it through the phone butI haven't been able. Some friends that already have MiUI 12 told me thatsince I purchased it through the phone compnay they modify the ROM to add their apps and stuff anf that may be what's preventing me from updating and I'd have to update it manually if I didn't weant to wait.
I googled how to do it manually and it involded downloading the ROM but they seem to have a different version than mine (QJCLMCR) I don't know if this would work with mine or if I should check anything before installing it. I seriously don't want to mess up my phone so I'd appreciate any help with this. Does this would work with my version or do I have to look somewhere else?

In addition, if I update this manually would I be able to delete my phone company's bloatware and stuff like that or do I have to root the phone after / before updating? I'd appreciate any help in this matter. Thanks!

Bro , from which country do you come from? it seems you are from Colombia . You have an operator modified version of miui, in your case I think it's Claro. You cannot update manually, nor use one of those roms in the image since you can hard brick your phone. You have two options: Wait for your carrier to release the update (which usually never happens) or change to the Global Rom, you must unlock the bootloader and flash via MiTool.
And you can remove the Preinstalled apps with ADB ! (you must be careful!). Cheers!!!
