Hi folks
As mentioned in a thread I posted a couple of weeks back (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1207476), Samsung have very annoyingly blocked WiFi channels 12 & 13 on US-originated Tab 10.1s with their latest TouchWiz UX update.
I've got a Tab that I had been using quite happily on chan 13 (minimal interference from neighbouring WiFi APs), but after the updated it wouldn't connect at all, yet could see other networks. Moving the AP channel down <12 solved it, but this only works for my home AP that I have control over. The one at work is on either 12 or 13 and therefore now isn't visible.
The guys at PC Pro have tried their UK-purchased Tab 10.1 and it's working fine, so it seems to be just with the US ones that Samsung have blocked this.
I've logged a support request about it but don't hold out any great hope of them fixing it.
I was therefore wondering if anyone could think of a good way to re-enable this. Do the Tabs had a modem/radio type bin that could be flashed along the lines of the SGS II? If so would this do the trick or are chans 12/13 being blocked elsewhere?
Thanks for any suggestions - as you can see at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223978 I'm not the only one who has run into this problem!
(PS - have already tried a full factory reset before anyone suggests it )
What about flashing a Euro rom, would that then enable the extra channels?
That's the kind of thing I was wondering about, but wasn't sure if it would work or not.
My model number is GT-P7510UWYB and it's 16GB WiFi only model.
Do you think it would just be a case of getting hold of the stock August update for a UK device (and if so, any links? ) and installing it via Download mode/Odin or would it object to that saying it's not a valid ROM for that model?
I don't know I.f there's a newer rom than those shown on the samfirmware site, someone with more knowledge than me may point you in the right direction.

Hey folks, I've been trying to get the Arduino Mega ADK to work with two of my devices and so far I'm been totally unsuccessful. Both my Nexus S and Nexus 7 seem to do nothing with connected to the Mega ADK.
So, here are the details and hopefully someone can help out.
First off, I'm experienced with Arduinos and µCs. I'm 100% sure that I've correctly compiled and flashed the demo sketch onto the ADK. In the serial monitor I can see that the ADK will boot and attempt to get the Android device to do something and fails (it tries this continually unless a device successfully enters accessory mode and responds).
Both these devices are supposed to have support for the ADK and I've checked the devices and both have the correct .xml and .jar files for doing so. However, I'm currently running CM10 on both devices and I'm wondering if perhaps the kernel doesn't have the accessory mode enabled or if there's another stumbling block inherent to CM10.
Doing some google research I see that certain updates (4.0.3) have broken ADK support in the past, so perhaps it's just a Jellybean issue? Is there a way of checking kernel options or flashing a kernel known to work? I'd like to narrow down some of the possible issues here.
Hey mate!
I had the same issue, I fixed by using the library version 2 from labs.arduino.cc/ADK. You can download it directly from here: labs.arduino.cc/uploads/ADK/GettingStarted/ArduinoADK-beta-001.zip.
From what I've read the problem is that Android 4.1 uses adk version 2 and has some incompatibilities with the previous version.
Best,
Alex
PD) Sorry for not hotlinking can't do it yet with this account
I've been using that version and still get no response from the Android device. I suppose I'll have to flash stock 4.1 and see if that works, Sadly there's very little proper documentation on this and not a lot of people seem interested in accessory mode devices.

Hi mate,
I hope that you are able to see this message. I have the similar issue. I tried using this version 2 of this library and when i compile the example code "demokil_20", i get the error " 'USB' does not name a type".
Please help me out here.

I got the same USB error. I haven't figured out the problem yet, but I was able to get another example from the version 2 adk library working with jelly bean. I think it was called termtime or something like that. It recognizes the phone the and will pop up saying theres an arduino accessory attached and there is no application to open for that accessory. You can change the example code to "Google" and "Demokit" to auto launch the Demokit.apk app.
I just got this arduino adk two days ago and only have one Android device, a Samsung Captivate with slimbean rom, to test it on.
First, please forgive me if this is the wrong place, but this is the General Forum, and the forum software has changed a lot since when I was really active here as an active phone modder and active poster!
So like I said I've been away from the forums for a long time... trying to rereading a lot and trying to get back into MY PHONE.
I hate my modem sometimes because T-Mobile just sucks in some areas and is great in others [Greater Houston Texas Area, but mostly south side and towards the Galveston Bay].
I would like to know if the newer modems are interchangeable with the below config on my G900T?
And if there is any advantage to upgrading my modem? Wondering what modem I might be able to upgrade to with that below config and if there would be any advancements/pluses/gotmeinabadways/or other things I should be aware of if I did?
Also I'm wanting to upgrade to Marshmellow maybe, should I or should I just forget it? I will be reading more about the ROMs available. I've read a lot of posts about how buggy 5.1.x is. So I don't want to even go there...
Basic Phone info, Stock T-Mobile ROM [Damn bloatware] rooted awhile back with I think towelroot. I would really like to change to a slicker ROM that is debloated and maybe deoxed maybe. Will have to read hella lot more about that for sure..

Can anyone recommend an app that will give modem info without having to decipher the baseband? or is there a very good break down of what each part of baseband means? I know go search!!! and I'm trying to reacquaint myself with the forums but the newer software is far different than I remember EKK! And search always hated me!! And even the different forum headers have changed due to time marching on and me being well Techtarded the last year or more due to things better left unsaid...
Have Xposed installed as noted above, but its been f00ked for a long time due to the ARM processor if I remember correctly and the Framework installer not being compatible..... Wish I could used the Xposed but........ I originally got into Xposed due to the Hex icons I actually paid for Xposed because I liked and used some of the modules made by smart people. Again but!!!

The most recent firmware and modem for the TMo S5 is version OL1,that came out in late December.
muniz_ri has been nice enough to put together a ROM that is the Stock ROM, already rooted, and ready to go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...t/how-to-update-to-g900tof6-5-1-1-pc-t3141404
There are links there to the ROM, including the modem, or just the modem files themselves.
Rob
@daspazz the following website has decent basic info that seems to address the questions you ask: http://androidmodguide.blogspot.de/p/other.html
TLDR: yes modems are interchangeable
As for Marshmallow, I'm pretty sure for now, since there has been no official 6.0 update yet, you'll have to go with Cyanogenmod 13 (or one of the variants like Bliss 6.0 or Resurrection-Remix), they're in the unified development section (our phone's development codename is KLTE).
As for deciphering the baseband, look at the last three characters, let's assign them generic letters XYZ. X is the year (M being 2013, N being 2014, O being 2015, P being 2016, etc.), Y is the month (substitute the actual letter for its position in the alphabet), and Z is the revision number. So taking the most recent firmware (G900TUVS1FOL1) as an example: OL1: O means 2015, L means December, and 1 means 1st revision. Another example, build number G900TUVU1ANE6: NE6: N means 2014, E means May, and 6 means 6th revision.
It seems to me there's been some consensus that the most recent modem (which rlichtefeld linked to in the post above mine) is the best
Much Thanks!!!!
@rlichtefeld and @thisisapoorusernamechoice
I really appreciate the information gentlemen!!!! I've been reading through the info you both provided.
I did flashed my modem (only) to the newest one, G900T_OG6_Stock_Modem.tar. Ended up having to flash back to the modem for 5.0, G900TUVU1DOB1-MODEM.tar, because I literally could not hear anyone when I made or received calls.....
Also had to used Odin v3.09, because v3.10.6 wouldn't recognize my phone. Strange that!!
This ADB installer was very helpful!! It fixed problems I was having on the PC I was using to flash my phone. Much thanks to @Snoop05 for the ADB installer for the PC. It keeps you from having to install the full SDK for Android.
Thread moved to proper forum.
IS THIS FORUM "DEAD" or something?! I've been BANGING my head against a WALL for about a month now trying to fix an apparent "Sms over Sgs" function being disabled on my N910P running LineageOS, if I use anything but a stock OS I'm not able to "send" SMS unless I switch to 3G. Does anyone possibly have the following files kicking around? The links to them are dead everywhere I've looked. That or any other bright ideas? Do I need to flash the baseband again after installing Lineage or something?
Aurora.N7.Port.v2.1_data/sms fix for Sprint
Aurora.N7.Port.v3_data/sms fix for Sprint
Hya! So I am in the same boat... I am trying to do research... So far I have not been finding anyone with answers past the N7 Port. I cant even seem to be able to install the ROM cuz I am on Q15 Baseband. I udnerstand that you can't downgrade once we committed to the latest.
I also am having huge bluetooth crashes. Trying to keep attached with my FitBit and keeps dropping.
Lets see if we can find some answers together!
I tried the download of the SMS fix for Sprint and flashed it but doesnt seem to work.

Think I've tried them both already, I've gone around in so many circles it's hard to keep track...
I have learned one key through my digging, seems most things need to "match" the same generation for the OS used.

Unfortunately those links were dead the first time I tried them a few months ago... Thanks though. The only real shred of hope I seem to have left is an older post that someone apparently flashed the baseband files from the last OS that "worked" and they got things functioning on the newer OS. Now I just have to figure out how to flash the baseband separately from the OS?! I think I can do that with Heimdall?

I thought we couldnt go back from the QI5 firmware... or did I miss something?
This really seems like a super simple solution that shouldnt be this hard. It really must be a software problem. I am super aggrivated ... probably like you.... that such a great hardware platform is being rendered so inefficent. There are no new phones that have the ability and versitility of this platform and I am committed to keeping this hardware for years to come. I dont need it to do a lot... I just need it to do the few things I require of it! I am thinking of starting a new thread in the sprint forum to get some current and collective knowledge of the best setup available for the N910P
Hello,
I recently acquired a refurbished S9+ and as many other people, I realise now that someone must have been messing around with the internal software. This is my secondary phone so it's no big deal but I would like to understand what was done on it nevertheless, and maybe turning it back to a cleaner state, if possible, and if it has not too many drawbacks.
-apparently, Samsung Pay is not working. It hangs indefinitely on the screen where you must choose the type of security.
-when looking into the Play Store settings, the device is not certified
-WiFi calls apparently are unavailable
-OTA update is not working (nothing happens when I try to check for an update manually. What's more, no information about the last update is available. By the way, the phone software is outdated. (last Android security fix is dated from Feb 2019)
From what I read, it looks like the CSC was modified, right ? Would it be a good idea to change it back to original ? (I may need some guidance about that but we are not there yet) Would such a procedure restore, for instance, the OTA update feature ?
(see pictures attached - there is what is written on the phone's back cover too, if it can help)
Thank you very much in advance. Please tell me if you need some other specific screenshots.
PS : I also bought a Note 10+ from the same refurbisher and it ended up being a Korean model. But the firmware seems clean. I know Samsung Pay won't work in France, WiFi calls either, and I will be stuck in "LTE" 4G instead of 4G+ but at least OTA updating is functionnal (I got an update a few days ago) and honestly ? That's fine with me for the price.
Anyone ?
From what I've read researching on similar issues, the previous owner who messed around with the internal software must've flashed custom firmware on your S9+, and probably tripped Knox (and is why your Samsung Pay app won't work). According to some developers on here, you're able to hide the fact that you've rooted the phone, but I don't think you can un-trip Knox once it's been done.
Prior to your post, I didn't know a single thing about CSC and I'm not sure how it's really relevant when flashing a mobile device (unless it's carrier-related), but I think all that's required when flashing a device is the model number. Luckily, I stumbled upon a thread that is actually your exact, same model! Do what you please with it, and I hope I helped — I'm not a professional, nor am I really knowledgeable about all of this stuff, but I'm trying.
This is the thread I was talking about:
Official Stock Firmware Thread (11 August 2022) - Galaxy S9+ (SM-G965F)
UPDATE (7 APRIL 2022): Samsung has officially declared the Galaxy S9 and S9+ EOL. They will no longer be supported, and FVB4 will most probably be the final build for this device. Latest stable firmware: G965FXXUHFVG4 / G965FOXMHFVB4 /...

You're welcome! Was it what you were searching for?
Not sure, but I hope it will help me understand the firmware/CSC stuff better
Alright so apparently this phone actually is a SM-965N, judging by what is displayed when booting into download mode.
Unfortunately I only saw this after starting a flashing attempt with Odin and now it's stuck at "system.img" so... I'm gonna let it run a few more hours but...
It's most likely bricked at this point, isn't it ? (edit : interestingly, after I forced-closed Odin and reboot the phone, it was not)
If you ask me I find this kind of "refurbishing" a little bit sketchy to say the least.
Hello all...I'm a fellow victim of the OTA updates screwing us debloaters currently stuck in a boot-loop. I'm trying to recover my the past several years text notes containing all the medical details for my son's illness. Details on that can be found on my earlier post.
As a last ditch effort, I'm going to try flashing the factory firmware in hopes that I'll be able to snag them and then flash the latest firmware. My device is not rooted.
However, it's been many many years since I've done this and I've spent the day reading everything I could to ensure I don't screw this up and I have a few questions. The phone is under warranty and I really don't want to trip Knox.
First...I'm having trouble finding the correct firmware (I think? Yay AT&T!). Unfortunately, since I'm boot looping, I can't load the app to pull all the phone details now. But, when I pulled the phone details a little over a week ago trying to solve another issue, I made a note of what appears to be the baseband version: G991USQU5CVCC.
The only info I can find on it on AT&T's website, here: https://www.att.com/device-support/article/wireless/KM1428542/Samsung/SamsungSMG998U
I'm unable to find a download for it though. AT&T isn't available via Frija or Samloader.
However, if all my ADD-riddled reading today is correct, I should be able to get away with flashing one for the 1U1 version, right?
If not, anyone know where I can find the firmware that would work for the 1U version/G991USQU5CVCC?
If so, my thoughts are that my best chance of being able to it to stop looping long enough would be to flash the last-known-good version as opposed to the latest...this is doable, right? If that's correct, this is the one I've grabbed: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s21/firmware/SM-G991U1/ATT/download/G991U1UEU5CVGB/1666245/
Also, regarding flashing...I'm reading it can be done via ADB sideload or cracked Odin...is one better/safer than the other?
Any other thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated too.
Thanks!
Hmmmm....so I just noticed in Android Recovery, it posts a build number. I'm showing RP1A.200720.012, which appears to be for the S20?!
The full build number is RP1A.200720.012.G991USQU5CVCC...which, apparently doesn't exist in Google.

Be careful because you must select Bit/SW REV same as one on your phone, you can't downgrade it.

Yup, I just had to figure out how it all worked...I was super-worried because I couldn't find 1U firmware for AT&T.
Buuut, guess what?!?!
Holy crap!! I got in!!!
I downloaded a newer version after flashing the current one didn't resolve it...just because...why not at this point?
It flashed successfully, did the same thing after initial reboot through...starts loading lock screen, flashing on/off randomly and reboot.
This time, however, it loaded into something different than the standard recovery menu. I don't remember the name, but, there was only 4 options.
Try Again
Delete App Data
View Logs
Shut Down
I decided to try the Delete App Data option as the data I was trying to get was in the download folder...not specifically part of an app...and it rebooted into Safe Mode without the glitch!! Previously, the glitch still happened in Safe Mode.
It went into what appeared to be a factory reset phone with the Get Started thing, connect to WiFi, permissions, restore data, etc. I skipped all that though, figuring it actually factory reset the phone and that I had officially lost this battle and would have to rebuild all my notes (something I had come to accept would probably be the case in this situation).
But! Once I went through that and got the main Safe Mode screen, I connected it back up to the laptop and EVERYTHING IS THERE!!!!!
I'm copying off now as I type this.
Thanks to you and iBowToAndroid for all your help with this...you guys saved me days/weeks of time to pull all the records and recreate my notes. Unsure how to tag iBowToAndroid on here...but, he helped me understanding the firmware/carrier stuff via DM.
