Android 10 Update/Upgrade a705mn/ds Variant - Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers

Hi,
Is there another way to flash the firmware of A70 without using ODIN. I've updated my A70 yesterday via OTA trough ANDROID 10. It Updated successfully but when the phone restarts the phone no longer charges and can't recognize charging. Battery Icon shows 0% and keeps rebooting by itself.
I've already try clearing the cache/ reset to factory via recovery. same issue.
Try to download official firmware from Samsung. Flash successfully via ODIN. Still Same Issue (Android 10)
Try to Downgrade Official Firmware (Android 9) flash trough ODIN And still The Same.
Any Help Will Do. Thanks
By the way my Phone is a A705mn/ds (XTC Firmware)

Solution Found.
I manage to recover the device. using the latest ODIN (version 3.13.1) downgrade to XTC-A705MNXXU5ATA3-20200211101340 (Last Android 9 Update for A70 (January 2020 Patch)). Booted up normally.
But the weird thing is when I try to FLASH the Android 10 Firmware using ODIN (A705MNXXU5BTC2_CL17976949_QB29690579_REV00) the problem happens again. Auto Reboot, Battery Not Recognize, Charging Port Not Charging. Can't Even Use it for a couple of minutes.
I think there is a problem with the Android 10 Update on a705mn/ds variant. tried and tested via OTA and Manual Upgrade ODIN Flash. =(
By the way in order for you guys to stop the Update Just go to
Settings > Software Update > Disable Auto-Download over WIFI
then go back to
Settings > Biometric and Security > Other Security Settings > Disable Security Policy Update
then go back to
Settings > About Phone > Software Info > Tap Build Number 7 times (For Developer Option) if not done yet
then go back to
Settings > Developer Option > Turn off Auto Update System
This should STOP the update process
Hope this helps!
P.S. If you have an a705mn/ds variant give some feedback did you successfully update your device on Android 10?

Hey. I have SM-A705MN and the Android 10 update is working well. The only issue so far is minor. Task Changer interferes with the ability to swipe down for notifications unless turned off/on (problem arises after reboot).
I did foolishly try to install TWRP and after the second failed attempt i could not restore firmware in (any version) Odin. Finally after messing with Heimdall and getting odd responses i flashed bl, restarted Odin and flashed all 4 parts.
After that i patched AP in Magisk. I then flashed all four files in Odin with HOME csc and it looped so i went to recovery and after a factory reset i have root with the button start method.

I'm going to tweak the csc files now (after a run through the decoder). I'll post whatever tweaks i use that work if you plan on rooting.

it's always preferable to use the latest Odin , your is v3.13.1
here it is : Odin v3.14.1

Hello I'm currently experiencing random reboot on my device (SM-A705MN/DS). It started last February 27, 2021 when i download patch update for Android 10. Prior to this update I'm already on Android 10 and everything seems to work fine back then. However this last Android 10 update cause this strange behavior. The phone will freeze then goes off and the it will boot again. After reboot it will work for say 30secs to a minute then it will freeze again and goes off.. It goes to this process multiple times until it gets hot on the upper half portion of the phone. What i do is let it rest and cool for good 1 hour or more and then when i reboot it manually it will work fine for the rest of the day. After nearly 24hrs or up to 36hrs it will work well. Until it resets itself and do the multiple restart again. I experienced this on a daily basis now even after upgrading to Android 11.
Do you think downgrading to Android 9 will resolve this issue? I already visited Samsung Service Center and initially they thought it was already fixed. So i did not left the service center immediately and test the unit first. I see that my unit is still Android 10 and factory reseted. After quite some time it reboots randomly. That's when the Samsung service tech concluded that it's a malfunctioning circuit board. However i am not quite convinced since my phone works perfectly and the issue only manifested after that particular update and the proceeding ones.
Does downgrading to Android 9 and upgrading straight to Android 11 can prevent this issue. I hope you could help me. By the way Noypi here. I supposed Noypi ka din coz it's obvious base on your username. hehe

AT&T LG G4 Won't Update! Help!

I'm currently running Android 5.1 Build H81010e.
Since last week, my phone has alerted me that a software update is available. I start installation, the phone resets, and the notification comes right back after 2-3 minutes. It's been in an endless loop for at least the last week. Now my phone resets every 3-5 hours attempting to force the update, but it doesn't seem to ever install.
Anyone else having this problem on AT&T? Is my build the most recent? Any ideas on how to fix it?
If you want root, don't take the update.http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/how-to-prevent-updates-g4-t3148650
If you don't care about root, go to Settings > Smart Cleaning and use the cleaner. It may remove the update file and let you download it again.
Since AT&T blocked recovery mode, there's no easy way for us to clear the cache, so you may need to factory reset to get the update to download again.
Apologies for resurrecting an old post however this is the closest forum topic I can find. I have a G4 and I have the same issue as above. I keep getting a notification of a software update and when I try to install the update it just restarts and then 2 minutes later I get the same notification of an update. It's an endless circle lol. I have tried smart cleaning twice and each time I check for a system update and I get the original notification and the endless loop begins again. Is there anything else I can do to update my device? I'm not keen on performing a factory reset or rooting my device if at all possible. Also I'm not with AT&T. I'm with an Australian carrier.
Many thanks

Smart Switch not showing Software Update

Hey guys,
I wanted to clean update my Sprint Note 4 to the latest firmware update that had been released not so long ago from today (almost 1 month back I guess). I connected my phone and opened Smart Switch but it didn't show any update notification is it does usually. I tried installing and uninstalling many times but it doesn't show the update option at all when the phone is connected.
Also, I was having issue of Backup being stuck at 100% and no disk activity was happening at that moment (which is now fixed because I installed SS on the 64-bit Program Files folder).
Does anyone know a fix to this?
Regards.
Zeekay.

Download latest firmware from www.sammobiles.com
And flash through odin.

Yeah but that would completely wipe off my data, SS updates the phone with all the data in place.

No it won't wipe unless if you stuck in bootloop after flashing and you have to do factory reset.

TA-1043 Android 8.1 Oreo update issue

Folks,
I'm facing an issue with my new Nokia 6.1 Smartphone. After unboxing and during the first start and intial setup it attempted to perform an update. However, this failed after downloading the content (via WIFI) with the error message "couldn't update phone - Installation problem". Afterwards I performed the initial setup offline as there was no possibilty to skip the update whilst connected to WIFI. This worked out and I was able to finish the intial setup to get access to the OS. I re-connected to WIFI and forced the update via settings -> system etc. Unfortunately, same result but a bit more information - Android 8.1 Oreo update (V2.13B) update size 804MB. Today I tried again and appearently a new OTA update has been released - Android 8.1 Oreo update (V2.22A) - slight hope that my issue is fixed with this release, but same isse again!
I tired also hard reset via recovery console. No luck....
I can't rule out a general issue with the phone but would like to explore other options before I return it.
Any suggestions or similar experiences?
Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue while updating to the May Security Patch. All you need to do is connect your phone to the power source and then update using wifi only, keep your phone connected to the power source throughout the whole update process. No error will occur.

For me optimizing apps took only 15 mins for 108 apps.. May be in your device more than 150 apps may got installed.
Just installed August update in U.S.
didn't think to pull the update before it rebooted .
Got it this morning and it data corrupted and went into "download mode", changing active slot from b to A gets me back to recovery, but only option is factory reset and that just sends it back to download mode.
Edit: On recovery screen at very bottom has
Boot Reason: enablefilecrypto_failed
Ideas?
Anyone else having Audio and charging issues after installing August patch ?
Sent from my Nokia 7.1 using XDA Labs
When did they stop you from being able to move apps to the SD card? I know some couldn't be moved before but now it is every single app I cannot move. Am I missing something or did they really disable the option?
Got the August security update Yesterday. After install and reboot, my Nokia 7.1 is stuck Download Mode. Tried with switching the memory slot from fastboot , didn't work. Reboot to recovery mode, and sideload the old factory image, can't downgrade. Tried with Online Setup tools (OST) to load Nokia firmware CTL-351F-0-00WW-B04, again can't downgrade the firmware. I need the latest firmware CTL-354F-0-00WW-B04 or greater. Need Help

Phone reboots all the time - N975F

Hi there,
Last week, I get the OTA from my OWO CSC, it get updated to ZTO and the PDA version is CTCA. Not sure if this is newer or have a big difference from CTC9.
Does anybody here from OWO CSC and with this update experience some issues?.
I have already tried everything, also have received some help in this forum and it helps for few hours and then the problem appears again.
Regarding few points I have tried:
-I have already flashed again CTCA ZTO CSC using odin.
-I have already flashed the previous one, CTC9 ARO CSC using odin.
-I have done a factory reset with the CTCA ZTO CSC using the recovery menu.
Once i finished to reset the phone, i downloaded all appss and configured the phone from 0. Just restored some settings that i have backed up using samsung cloud. The phone works super perfectly for 48 hours and this morning it started again with the constant reboot.
Regarding few points i do have a question first, do you know or does it exist any software that can detect what reboots the phone or any log that track the error that can cause the phone to reboot?
I came from ZTO BTB9 that was from march security patch and till now it never happen to me before with this phone and Odin updates. I did not do and touch anything during update period, did it till the end. IT was just plugged into the charger. The phone finished the process completely normal, after it ends, i start it using and checking the new features. I configured the camera, the keyboard and not much. Not installed any software, just update all apps to the latest from store (samsung and google). The reboot is just random, the first one i detect while running app booster from samsung, but then it reboots without running that app (just reboot again). It looks like a softt reboot or a quick reboot because it get quickly back again but i should put the pin and it loads all again (notification from 0). It does not show the screen that say "samsung galaxy note 10+ powered by androird", just the "Samsung" logo screen and then lock screen. I did not reboot it as soon as it ends updating. The cache wipe did it just this morning after i detect it reboot over the night. It reboots like 6 time already. Since the previous one to last one have passed 3 hours but the very first reboots occurs between 20 or 10 minuts from each other. Now the reboot happen every 1 minute.
It looks like there is a problem somewhere and it sounds like a software problem. But i'm trying to know if it is a build problem or personal problem.
Now i have the phone running in SAFE MODE and it is fine, so for sure is something in system that try to synch, update or w hatever in background that crash the phone. I have the same apps as always installed, no new apps added so far
Thanks for the time.
Regards.
Yamil.
