Work for sfr ? Thank u

---

Thanks!
Everthing works well on this rom, even NFC!
But cant get rid of the annoying Service provider T roaming in the system menu even with BL, CP and CSC files from my original provider(this worked on the Russian nougat firmware?!).
So the Galaxy A3 SM-A320FL PHN users still have to wait, like many countries :silly:

---

@tyson and everybody:if i upgrade to nougat can downgrade to marshmallow with Odin or a TWRP back up?
which one should i flash in my A320 FL?(Poland firmware XEO)?

---

-still no auto rotation for home screen, lock screen and always on display
-still hidden adoptable storage option (extend internal memory) for micro SD card

---

Please tell me, do these roms have the Russian things in the settings? Or are they completely clean like they should be? Please tell me they are...

My A3, bought in NL (Belsimpel.nl) has DBT software. I don't know if that has consequences?

Just to clear things up. If you have any of these (BTU, CPW, DBT, ITV, XEF, XEO, XEU) csc now, you will have the same csc after flash as well.
If you're on another csc now and flash this, you'll get ITV as csc, since that's the default csc for multi OXA. You can still change to any of the other included csc's if you have root, but it also requires a factory reset to change it.
Certain csc's have different apps and features even if they are in the same firmware. That's how samsung customize their firmware for different countries/regions.
DBT most likely have some german app installed from the csc folder, while other csc's don't. Some csc's have settings for VoLTE, and others don't.
Another csc can have bike mode, which is not available for another country etc.

As far as i can tell you have to wait for the official DBT (Germany) to have an smooth working phone (and no tripped Knox fuse!).
Only if you want to experiment the PHN is the unbranded Netherlands version. *warning you will trip Knox!*
Just Checked here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a3/SM-A320FL/

Works on my Galaxy A3 2017 (SM-320FL) from Germany very well. No problem to flash with Odin. I used the normal CSC, not the Home_CSC because I'm a friend of starting from scratch with a new OS. I also rooted it without any issues and installed Magisk and Xposed. Now even the Nand Backup works in TWRP.:good:
Thank you!

Hello, I have updated my phone (A320FL, French, Orange) with a Spanish firmware. And it worked perfectly. It didn't trip knox, everything works, no problem. All I did was select repartion in Odin. That's all you need. As long as you have the same model number, you won't have any problem at all.

---

Thanks for the firmware. I still have to wait for DBT so I flashed this on my 320FL since OXA works with DBT.
I just saw there is a new version for ITV with OXA available (BQI4).
One thing I noticed is that when you turn on the device it does not vibrate anymore (on MM it did). Is that normal?
@tys0n actually it is A320FXXU1 and not A320FXXU2 (I'm referring to the post in the other thread).

---

Any body else have lag with the patern unlock screen ?

---

YEEES but is a security feature that will prevent rapid succesive multiple pattern unlock attempts.
Try ultra power saving mode and see what happens... you might be unable to unlock your device if you use a dot pattern as backup unlock solution.
So it might be a bug also, something Samsung forgot about to properly integrate.

Well I also have 320fl, but unbranded DBT (Germany) and it worked. BUT I don't think it will work on a branded version, because of the wrong CSC (OXA supports DBT). But I'm not sure, sorry.
But you may not have to wait long for your official version, just look at updato or similar sites.

Cool thing.
Well root it like you did on MM, I see no difference.
Xposed is an issue with Nougat, I didn't use it and can't help there.
And the patches, well I thought root means no updates, but I could be wrong.
Have fun.

Sorry for the long wait. So here is the tutorial. I'm not responsible for any damage. My phone was not branded.
Make sure you read the whole tutorial before doing anything. Make a backup of your data. It's very possible that you need to make a factory reset! Also have a look at the additional information in the separated threads! Knox will be tripped after that, so you can't use it any more. And no more Warranty!
1. Download the following stuff:
Android 7 A320FLXXU1BQH7_A320FLOXA1BQH7_A320FLXXU1BQG6.zip thx to tys0n
Odin 3.12.5
twrp_3.1.1-1_sm-a320f_11917 thx to ashyx
Boot image patch no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx thx to ashyx
[UNOFFICIAL] Material Design Xposed Installer [09/09/17] thx to DVDandroid
Magisk thx to topjohnwu
2. Flash Android 7 via Odin. There are enough tutorials on how to do that.
3. Flash TWRP via Odin; Thread with additional informations
Instructions summary:
Flash with ODIN 3.10.7 in the AP slot.
Put your device in DOWNLOAD mode.
Uncheck Auto reboot.
Load the respective file below into the AP slot and hit start.
After flashing and ODIN reports PASS immediately reboot to recovery by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN.
As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding POWER + HOME.
You should now see TWRP recovery.

4. Now install via TWRP the Boot image patch no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx. To do that, just copy the zip file to your SD card. Go to TWRP and install it with the Install option within TWRP. Reboot to System.
5. Copy the XposedInstaller_by_dvdandroid_09_09_17.apk file to your SD card and install the APK. Make sure you have third party sources enabled. Reboot to TWRP.
6. Copy the Magisk-v14.0.zip file to your SD card and install it via TWRP. Reboot to System.
7. Open the Magisk Manager and enable root access via SuperUser within the Manager.
8. Open the Magisk Manager and search for Xposed Framework SDK 24. You need the SDK 24 or else it won't work. Install Xposed.
9. Now you should have root access, Magisk and Xposed up and running.

I had the same problem and it drove me crazy. It appeared every time after I rooted my phone with the "old flash the SuperUser.zip via TWRP" method.
After I rooted my phone via Magisk (Tutorial above), there is no more annoying lag. :good:

Thanks @simple_s
BUT be careful with Xposed!!!
Especially on Samsung stock ROM.
You need permissive kernel!
When used as a Magisk module and you wipe the caches the device will not boot anymore (that's what I read).
Please people read read read and read about Xposed before using it on Samsung Nougat!!!
And make backups.
