1eskip - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

Please can somebody tell me how you can see the boot loader version of my Samsung s9 . (U?)so that I can download The Combination firmware

Is it show in Download Mode? Halfway down, look for 'RP SWRV:'

Hi firstly Thanks for your answer I have read stories on the internet that it should also be in the buildnr. then it should say U1, U2 U3 or something similar but my number looks completely different (g965fxxsbeth2) I don't know if you are familiar with the new numbering. This is so that I can download the combination firmware. but i check the download mode to.

Do you know another possibility to find out which combination of firmware I need.
thanks a lot.

Whats up with the http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/xxxxx , firmware link?

Hello guys , can anyone tell me whats up with the firmware link? I do not get any sw link on my checkup, but everything else is correct.... It worked fine when I was on lollipop, but after upgrading to MM it does not provide any s/w link?? , I also get the same result when I use my "wife`s" G4 imei
I see people add links from the csmg.lgmobile.com that they have pulled, so what do I do wrong?? Any answers or help would be appreciated :good:
SOLVED : This did the trick :good: Thanks for the tip @Al0n :highfive: : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66671855&postcount=18

What part should i replace? Where should I insert the imei nr? Only got some Chinese/Korean lettering...??
I tried adding the imei in the end after dev? and also tried swapping the /dn/ part with the imei..? Sorry for the nooby question but I just cant figure out where i should add the imei, or am I supposed to add something else? Can you give me a example with a made up imei or something?
c/p from here
Note: for download links that start with http://pkg03.lime.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev - and they don't trigger the download properly please change it with http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev or http://pkg02.azure.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev but keep the URL structure (fileKey and kdz file).

Thanks for the reply, but thats the problem, I dont get any download file anymore from any of the kdz imei check sites.... I only get the : "nothing found" respond... On both the imei numbers I have? But if I use the link I used in OP I get some info in return like the msn, model, prod.date etc... but nothing on the Software or the app info.... when I was on LP I got the SW download link, but after I upgraded to MM I do not get a SW link in return I did not think that upgrading was related to getting the link to latest FW/KDZ ?....
Should I not get the latest SW file that was available anyways?.. I just tought it was strange that I see people uploading links from the same place I got it with LP, and that now I just get nothing found.... But I gues I just have to realize, that I will not get the file I want , but thanks alot for the help I got really appreciate it
It stopped working a few months back. It no longer returns the link to the firmware.
Got it working :highfive: see OP or : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66671855&postcount=18

Roms and Kernels

Does anyone know if the galaxy watch can flash roms and have custom OS's like on previous generations? Can it use roms made for the gear s3? What are your thoughts on the default rom with tizen 4.0? What would you want from any custom rom?
Let's start a discussion on this topic!
I am pretty sure roms from the gear s3 will not work. Also why would someone Flash an old rom on a new watch? Doesn't make any sense to me.
Source Code is here:

Tizen 4 seems to have same Bug like 3 or 2.3 so IMHO 5 will not be much better...

I was just wondering whether or not they would be similar. I've seen a phone before that could run a rom from another phone, that's why I was asking. Didn't expect much tbh
Hi all. Can anyone help me with a odin files for the first software of this watch. I am have the next problem:
Hello! Since the new software update earlier this week I am having a problem with my screen brightness setting which I have set at 8. When my watch goes into AOD mode, after the 15 second screen timeout, and then when the screen goes back on again the brightness setting is down to 3. Then I change it back to 8, the screen goes into AOD, and when the screen goes back on it is down to 3 again. Every time. Never had a problem like this before the recent software update, or on my Gear S3 for years. I turned the watch off for a few hours, and then turned it back on, but the problem persists. Has anyone else had this problem, or know how to fix it? Thanks!!!
Please can anyone hrlp me with the idin files plss

Hello Adfree.
Nice video btw. Thanks for that.
I have the exact same issue like Alejandro in the video, and the exact same model: SM-810X.
Is there any way you can provide me with the rom files for this model? I would like to give it a try, and flash the files, rather keep it in the drawer...
Much appreciated any help.
Cheers!

Samsung s20 Ultra Exynos ( Stuck on February 1st 2020 Update )

Hello everyone, this is my very first post here
I hope I posted this in the correct section of the forums. If not please point me out where I should place it! And sorry for the intrusion!
So basically my S20 Ultra ( Exynos variant SM-G988B/DS ) is stuck on February 1st, 2020 Update. My current version is G988BXXU1ATB3 /G988BOXM1ATB5 /G988BXXU1ATB2
I am pretty sure there have been tons of updates mainly to address the early camera issues, but I can't seem to make it visible to my current device so I can upgrade.
Is there a workaround in order to 'force' an update or I am missing something there?
Excuse my noobness
And nice to meet you all!

There are few threads crated on a daily that ask for the same. Just learn to flash it on your own via odin. No problem if you are noob... the problem if you don't use the search function and learn and move on from your noobness.
Download the firmware via SamFirm and flash it with odin. Stop waiting to receive OTA. Stay up to date, if you see there is a new update repeat those steps and you will always have the newest firmware.

Thank you very much for directing me to the right path, I was not sure of what search criteria I should type to find my solution Sorry.
These solutions will void my warranty or anything? Also as I am noob, is there danger to destroy my phone?

This solution will not void your warranty. After you downloaded the firmware via SamFirm you will have in the extracted folder two kinds of a file that's called CSC. One of them is called HOME_CSC you need to flash/choose the HOME one in order to keep all your data.

I doesn't matter anymore, G988BOXM1ATB5 they put everything in one pot, OXM is generic. And you can't change that that easily or for free anymore.

Fantastic, thank you. So that means I can download whatever GSC I want and it should work perfectly with my phone?
trying to find out which is the best for my Exynos s20 Ultra but being a noob is very hard
SamFirm does it for you. Just enter G988B in the device slot and OXM for the CSC slot. It's going to show you the right/newest one.
Just an update, I successfully updated to the latest firmware using ODIN, I was nervous at first but the process is really straightforward. Still having focus problems with my s20 ultra tho, but that is a story for another
Thanks, everyone for guiding me to the right path!

[Request] TCL 40D2740 [solved]

Hello community, may i please ask if anyone has the update for this Model of TCL, i can't find it on official website or it's branches on different regions
also Google yielded nothing for me except one close hit v8-mt56552-lf1v192

So you found v192 version of software, and you currently have v076. Where is the problem? Rest of the file name is identical, its for this model. Also, TCL makes updates for platforms, not for particular models. So usually, if the beginning of firmware name is same, this case mt56, it means its compatible with all devices from that mt56 platform.

thank you for your input and clarification, like i said in the post am not sure if they are compatible, doubt got me cause was thinking it might be like phones where one last letter can mean different hardware that leads to different software

It wont install if its not compatible. Tv checks firmware before installation.
hello community may i revive this thread by asking how to install the firmware, cause i tried these steps to no avail
pull off power cord
while holding power button plug the power cord
a sad face appears then it shuts down i tried many versions from TCL directly with no success
what made my TV not booting is a failed attempt to install gapps when i placed the gapps i changed their folder permissions when i rebooted it refused to start
thank you immensely in advance

Galaxy Watch R815F - need help with region change

Hello guys,
I have seen a lot of topics on this subject and honestly i don`t know were to start. Yes, i am a old guy and total noob on flashing roms and so on...
Recently my carrier in RO, Vodafone has implemented an option that allows using ESIM on other devices. that being said i proceed activation the option and trying to make my trusty companion R815F to work. Went to Samsung care and they told me that the watch is using an UK region code and will not work with my RO carrier. ( bought the watch also in Romania but .. well apparently it was destinate for other country code)
My watch :
Model number: SM-R815F
Serial: RFAN31FSY2E
SW version: R815FXXU1HVG1 SM-R815FZKABTU
Tizen version: 5.5.0.2
What have i done till now:
- developer mode on
-debug mode on
-download ODIN
-download SDK
-connected to watch via CMD
-tried launch_app csc-manager.csc-pre-configuration - getting an error " internal/external comand ... etc"
Now, being a total noob i don`t understand the next steps:
- do i need combination file and firmware rom for changing the region ?
- do i need to downgrade to tizen 4 in order to do something ? ( how to ?)
- where to find stock firmware - which one to choose because i found something that is paid and i don't want to waste money on something that is not working
Please if anybody can help me or give me a hint were to start it will be much appreciated.
Thank you,
A
Code:
COMBINATION-FT40_R815FXXU1ATA1.tar.md5
Risk because untested...
ATA1 could be dangerous outdated...
No idea from where to download this file... for free...
I will do some search...
Best Regards
Thanks for the feedback. i will wait for your findings.
Hi,
Sorry for being so impatient But did you find something?
Thank you,
A
Sorry.
I have nearly nothing on my HDDs... only really old files.
My suggestion for you.
Search for Firmware Files in Internet...
You can post here what you found. BEFORE you try,,,
For instance start with this file:
Code:
COMBINATION-FT40_R815FXXU1ATA1.tar.md5
Sorry I have my own problems and limited time and energy...
So you at your own...
Good Luck.
Best Regards
You searched for SM-R815 - CombinationFirmware.com
combinationfirmware.com
Here seems only older...
You searched for SM-R815 - Samsung Combination File
samsungcombinationfile.com
Here seems no F...
Found via Google...
I finally made it work thank to user: Jon199102 on Reddit.
He point me to a "hidden feature" of Galaxy Wearables - hidden menu to activate QR code searching/integrating -> auto or manually set up the ESIM. after enabling it i scan my qr code from VDF Ro and 10 minutes later everything was working
I don't really know if it is allowed to post the link to Reddit but here it goes :
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyWatch/comments/qqip1p
Thank you adfree for your time and knowledge sharing. helped me also in understanding a little bit the region change
Thanks
