BLUF: How do I get OTA updates back
All,
Good day. So I got my new Tab Pro 8.4 (SM-T320) a while ago and immediately threw CM 11 on it. Everything was working fine until I tried to do an update around middle of January at which time something went severely haywire and I almost bricked my device. I finally pulled a stock ROM off Sammobile and got my device back to stock.
However, now I can't do over the air updates. I get the message: "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available."

If I boot into recovery I get the little android on his back with a red triangle above him.
The top says:

Bottom says:

Applied the CSC-code : XAR
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
I think NK1 is the latest update. In recovery do a factory reset and clear cache and see if that gets rid of your 'system modified' message. Nevertheless, you won't get a newer update until Samsung releases it.
There are no android 5 updates under touchwiz for tablets yet.

Forgive me for the long post. This phone is driving me nuts. I've had it since last October.
* Worked fine for a month or two. I rooted and installed TWRP. Kept stock ROM because I use wifi calling a lot.
* Last December the screen cracked when I dropped the phone 6" onto a rug. That blew my mind, and was annoying, but not the end of the world.
* Over time the screen cracked worse. I also started getting the dreaded "SIM Card Removed...press OK to reboot"
* The SCR error came more and more frequently. Finally it refused to reboot. I did a factory reset and sent it back to the vendor who charged me $100 to replace the motherboard.
* Phone worked okay for a while, but the cracked screen annoyed me. Finally I ordered new glass.
* Tried to replace glass, broke digitizer. Went back to old phone for a couple months out of frustration.
* Ordered new digitizer/screen assembly. Disassembled phone and swapped it out.
Everything works great except (a) the GPS doesn't seem to work as well as it used to, and (b) I get no wifi. When I try to turn it on in the notification area it (VERY) briefly highlights the wifi symbol and returns to grey.
Apparently I un-rooted at some point when trying to fix the SCR error because even though I have SuperSU in my apps, if I tap it it says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem! (& etc.)"

Flash NK2 modem and non hlos bin. If that doesn't work. Backup important files. Odin stock NH7 or FOH3 (latest). Then you should be OK. Try Odin 3.04, 3.07, 3.09 if one doesn't work. You can flash twrp through Odin after and then Supersu 2.52 or custom ROM etc through twrp. http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
Okay. I realize much time has passed. Been busy with work and just dealing with 4G for data even at home, since it's unlimited anyway.
I can't find any working links to NK2 anymore. I found one thread with a link, but the file didn't exist on the far end anymore. I also looked for a "Modems" thread but no luck. Back in the day the SGS4G forums had a stickied thread with a link to every modem.bin available. *sigh*
Thanks.
My z2 play (bootloader unlocked) just received an update: NPS26.118-19. I tried to install the update but 10 minutes into the installation I got the famous Android update message "Error!" (with the green Android guy on black background).
This came as a surprise since I have not rooted the z2 play yet, and only "temporarily booted TWRP" to backup the partitions. I have always mounted the system partition as read-only. Have not flash anything. So everything should have been stock, right !?
I had to long-press the power button to reset the device and after the reboot I got the confirmation "Update unsuccessful". But I still checked the system info and to my surprise (again!) the system info had been updated.

Hi friend,
I Am a Moto z2 play user from India obviously.
I mistakenly lost my stock Rom, and it is difficult to find indian built can you send your stock rom through twrp backup please.
yours faithfully a Motto user
So I just got a new S9 and I was installing all the updates until Baseband version: G960USQS3BRK2 (December security patch) the last available update before Pie which I'm holding off updating to. The G960USQS3BRK2 update installed but afterwards I got an error saying "software update failed, that it will revert to last update and to send the error report" but when I check my software information it shows that G960USQS3BRK2 was installed. Also I noticed that I can't view "last update information" under software update to see update details. Is this because it failed? Usually I can see the details there. I haven't experienced any issues with the phone yet but I'm not sure what I should do. I just got done setting up everything and I'm not sure if I should just leave the phone as is or perform a factory reset (if that would even help). I provided screenshots of what i'm talking about. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
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
