Right to the point - Sammobile doesn't give you any checksums to cross-reference what you download, and updato tells you even less. How is anyone supposed to confirm beyond a doubt they aren't flashing a complete mess on their phone?

Absolutely, but their authenticity doesn't account for any vulnerabilities I may or may not have when I click that little download link. There being no way to verify would be pretty embarrassing, and I knew XDA would be the place to find out

You're a hero. Samfirm looks a bit depreciated, is Frija still solid in your opinion?
EDIT: By the looks of it, Frija can only be used to download the most current firmware versions? But beyond that, I set it to auto, input "SM-G960W" and "TLS" as the CSC, and it's unable to find anything at all...

Hmm... my input is identical to yours, and version 13 as well, yet nothing... on the topic of recent firmwares only though, is it possible to use the most updated BL, CP, and CSC, while retaining an older AP with the objective being holding my security patch back? That's what I'm really after here, but only if there's checksums involved. If it's possible I'll either keep troubleshooting or go check out samfirm. You've been a ton of help by the way

I wouldn't want to guess, not tried that personally and it's possible it could brick the phone, I know I tried to flash back one older release without wiping and the phone would not log in without SystemUI crashing each time and putting me back to the lock screen
Any reason you want to update BL, CP and CSC?
BL is just bootloader, the latest security patch requires the latest BL, and once you increase your BL version you cannot downgrade again
G960WVLS5CSEA << Version 5
CP is the modem
CSC is just the region
Tbh if you want to stick to the previous AP I would just stick to the full previous firmware rather than risking damaging the phone

Ahh, I was under the impression the android security patch was tied to the AP, but no I'm currently on 3ARH3 and I'd like to keep it that way. But hypothetically doing just CP for possibly better radio service would be okay? AP is essentially Android though right? Flashing a newer AP would increase it as well then correct eh, and don't laugh, but I like keeping my patch (and android 8) rolled back just to reduce the amount of hassle it all causes.
Pretty long reply now, but you seem to know what you're doing, so in short could you give me your best opinion on which of BL, AP, CP, and CSC, I could flash while keeping my android security patch and software version? I'm on this one right now https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s9/firmware/SM-G960W/TLS/download/G960WVLU3ARH3/233729/
EDIT: I've always been able to get out of bootloops and other trouble, is a full blown brick a real thing? Where it's essentially a papweight

AP is the only thing that contains the Android system, so by not flashing that you would avoid the security patch, the BL of the latest patch is required for the latest AP though, so what I am saying is you might run into problems flashing a BL designed for the latest AP but not having the latest AP flashed
Unlikely you will receive better anything by doing this tbh, most likely the CP, BL and CSC updates are purely compatibility updates for the latest AP, perhaps some fixes but nothing mentioned in the release notes other than Bootloader has been updated to meet requirements for latest security patch, all other fixes were for the OS itself (AP)
And I just re-read your post, if you are planning on flashing Android Pie (9) BL, CP and CSC to an Android Oreo (8) AP, you will 100% brick your phone
You cannot mix and match Pie and Oreo firmware
Do not do this

Yea pretty much, but most specifically you cannot partially update to another Android version 8 > 9 and hope to keep some parts 8 and others 9, they are not compatible

If you can put up with me a bit longer I feel like I'm basically wasting a thread now. So wait, so if I stay in android 8 territory there are certain portions I can update? Kind of important but I forgot to mention from the beginning that google play services, the lowest version you can be on is tied to android security patch right? Like for example, I'm on aug 1, and can't go lower than 12.6.89. I just want to keep that, and my security patch, and update all I can

You can update to the latest released Android 8 firmware available for your device, if Aug 1st is the last Android 8 version you cannot go any higher with any of it unless you completely move on to Android Pie 9
Looks like June 2019 is the latest available for the G960W
As for things like Play services I would not know, you could update them manually from apkmirror but might end up having compatibility problems too
Just wanted to post saying I flashed the following via ODIN successfully:
AP: 3ARH3
BL: 3ARH3
CP: 3ARJ6
CSC: 3ARJ6
I stuck to firmware from the same bootloader and android version, as well as used CSC instead of HOME_CSC, if that makes a difference.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ I download Samsung rom using this website and I do not get slow speed. Speed is actually fast. I download using Free download manager maybe that is why.

Hmm I'm downloading the TMO firmware from SamsungUpdate to start, but it's gonna take another 6 hours because of their metered connection -_-.
We'll see how that works out, but ideally I'd be 100% debloated and rooted with Samsung Pay working.
Don't think that'll be possible, but at least we're dealing with unlocked bootloader devices haha

any lucks for the SM-G928C ?
My edge plus is already on 5.1.1 - why the desire to download the same version of firmware from another country? Maybe I'm missing something...
That's not new
Guys, the phone is running great!
Updating for the sake of updating isn't always a good thing when out of the box it's actually working well!
When a device has problems there are threads everywhere of complaints. When a device works things are quiet usually with just the usual how to question. Of course everyone wants root, when it comes it comes. Be patient!

I do not believe you have to do anything.
While yes, both are version 5.1.1, if you look at the last 4 digits of your firmware build number you should see AOGD. The new firmware build number ends in AOH2, showing this is a newer build date. Nothing major, probably just a few under the hood changes, which usually means a liitle better performance.

what about the root-ability?
If you are rooted on an older firmware, and you flash a stock rom via Odin you will lose your root access. So long as your phone model can be/is rooted on your current firmware, after you flash the newer firmware just follow the same steps to root your phone again.

any differences between the OS Firmware, Build Number, or Baseband?
Just upgraded to the latest Stock ROM for Europe I9195XXUCOH2:
samsung-firmware.org/model/GT-I9195/
samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9195
sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9195
When running Stagefright Detector it only shows the following red vulnerability:
CVE 2015 6602 - Requires clicking a web-link, that opens video in the web-browser.
P.S. Had to flash twice as the baseband didn't upgrade the first time, and caused WIFI not to work (Would not turn on).
P.P.S. Used the O2-UK ROM and it changes the bootup-screen and also replaces the Google App Store with its own. Had to manually install Google App Store.
Gives me hope that there will be a fix later for stage fright v2. Though this release was 1 and half months after it was compiled so.... Also the fact O2 has released this but Samsung has yet to release the updated unbranded software is a bit of bull. Phone manufacturers and Google need to get their ass in gear..
Just updated to I9195XXUCOI5 (Spanish), and now Stagefright Detector shows all tests as green.
Also the bootup-screen is back to normal, along with the Google App Store.
Did you (have to) factory reset after flashing?

Going to try this tonight when I get home. Currently running the UK O2 firmware, but all but one of the patches shows green. Fingers crossed this new Spanish ROM will be green across the board.
This has really p!&&ed me off! Android phone manufacturers are sooo slow to update their devices. I can understand that some updates like new looks are over looked for older devices, but when it comes to security THEY have a duty to keep their products secure! There needs to be a new system for security updates. This stage fright bug is HUGE in my opinion. Phone manufacturers really don't give a sh!t about their customers, its all about the money. I never had these worries on my Nokia 3310...
I'm so concerned that I'm seriously thinking about getting an iPhone, much better software ecosystem. I just hate IOS compared. It's that or be forced to buy an expensive galaxy S6 or maybe a Moto G 2015 which I've heard has software updates comparable to the Google Nexus phones, which I personally think are a bag of crap...
Samsung being such a BIG concern in the smart phone world are just crap for software support.
I know there are custom ROMs that offer regular updates and the latest patches, but for me NONE of these are stable on my 5 month old device to the point where they can't be run as daily drivers... That and you lose any warranty you had, which is 2 years for Samsung....
Now I'm stuck with laggy stock OS, and I'm regretting getting this phone on contract.
If people were more aware of how insecure there phones really are I think they might not so easily choose android or at least the hundred odd older devices still available for purchase.
I'm so angry its funny... I'm one click away from dumping Samsung for the foreseeable future...

I am hoping for further firmware updates. Everything is red for me except two, as mentioned by someone else. I updated to the latest firmware from May on Three. I thought it was confirmed we were going to get version 5 of Android on the S4 mini... still waiting. I had 4.4.2 before from my last update and then this new update is ALSO 4.4.2......

Very certain that S4 Mini will not get Android ver. 5.
This is my device status:

- Kernel Version: 3.4.0-5878679 (23 Sep 2015)

Maybe try the fix for xposed from Lombartz in his cm11 rom and kernel thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sh...ht v2)(ECOACTIVE & ECOPLUG)(OC/UV)(20151116) Might work on stock rom too.

Hi there, I'm really struggling to get the Tab S4 into download mode - any suggestions? Power button and volume down doesn't seem to work.

I can't remember exactly but I want to say you have to hold down volume up and down, and power. Pretty much all 3 buttons on the device.
I am curious about somehting - forgive me if this is a dumb quesiton - but the US Varient is for XAR Region - is there any difference between XAR and the other Varients BTU - or XEU (United Kingdom) ?
I guess I am asking is it ok to flash one of those on the XAR Varient? the other varients (BTU, XEF, etc) have later build dates and different change logs but I wasn't sure if they were different in other ways - Can we flash other varients on the US Version or do we need to stick with XAR ?

Thanks for your reply that combo didn't work - but what did work was making sure tab was off, then hold down volume up and volume down buttons together and then plug in USB cable - and then it goes straight into download mode.
Cheers

This is for the Galaxy Tab S4, Wi-Fi only model (SM-T830). I'm posting this so that others don't have to deal with the "pay to access" or "limited speed" firmware download sites.

Does any one have flashed this and confirmed the XEF one is on August security patch? since reviewing on Samfirmware there are a lot of ARH5 builds but all of them have June Patch
ARH5 is def. June patch. Loaded the BTU version onto mine today (since UK gets earliest updates) and still June. I very much doubt that ARH1 is on July patch and I am positive all ARH5 builds are on the June patch. A higher build number in the same series indicates a higher patch level not lower so it would be really strange if ARH1 is July and ARH5 is June. (unless Samsung has totally lost their s**t with version control). As long as the PDA is the same it should all be the same base code and Android security patch regardless of CSC. AFAIK the CSC only governs the localized software and some features like which wifi channels are enabled to be in compliance with local regulations. Hopefully they release the BTU Aug/Sept patch soon.

Don't count on it. Samsung don't release monthly firmware updates for their tablets.

ARH1 is definitely July. That's what I put on my S4. Wasn't sure about ARH5 because I didn't flash that one to my S4. Honestly I'm just waiting for someone to port TWRP so that I can install an AOSP GSI.

My S4 (PHN CSC) came with ARH1 and this was the June security update. After an OTA update, it's now running ARH5, which is still the June update.

Really odd. My XSG CSC Tab S4 (originally was XAR) is on July with ARH1. It's like Samsung is releasing different builds with different security patch levels and the same build number, making this really confusing.
Mine did an update last night. Only had it a couple of days but it's on ARH8 now
Could someone be so kind as to upload just the build.prop file? I changed some stuff in mine and stupidly forgot to back it up. I checked the files in the zips of the OP post and couldn't find it anywhere. If I stupidly overlooked it just let me know. Thanks!
Nevermind, found what I was looking for.

You can go straight to bootloader with Power + Volume Up + Volume Down. It sounds impossible, but it's not, because the volume button isn't a rocker.

Have you rooted this build. The OEM unlock has disappeared for me. I tried to revert to the older build but odins keeps giving me an FAIL (Auth)
Hi,
I am having a T835, but the question remains. I am fairly expierenced with odin-flashing S8+, Note 8, S9+. I know, that as long as you stay in the same multi-CSC (OXM in my case as DBT), one can simply flash firmwares within the same multi-CSC.
Regarding to https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-tab-s4/SM-T835/, there is a newer INS Firmware. But it seems to be a different multi-CSC (ODM?) with the tablets, different to the phones. Is that assumption true? If this is the case, I also assume, that I should not flash it, in case I want to stay on OXM. All correct?
Thanks a lot,
Corwin
I have not rooted anything in a long time since there is barely any reason to and the only issue I have ever had with different countries' CSCs on my Tab S2/S3/S4 is some wifi 5 Ghz bands not working because they are restricted by country. The latest Argentina/Peru one I linked to above does not have that issue and is good to go.
What is the upgrade path from BRJ5 firmware on the G960US?
Does anyone have a reliable link to the Odin files and flashable zips I will need?
TIA.

On another note, just check http://firmware.science for the latest pie updates. Very easy to use, just select your phone model (for example SM-G960U) and then select your current firmware version, and it will give you a list of pie updates. Also as a note, most of the updates branch off from 2 "base" firmware versions (at least this is the case for the SM-G960U). If you happen to have this phone (as I do), I suggest going this firmware route, as its constantly being updated. Get BRJ5 combo firmware (from a site/app like updato), as this will be your restart point for future updates, most update branches start here and stem from BRJ5. From there, you can update to pie with one of the simple " 1 step routes" like (BRJ5 to "pick your update.zip".... Or if you want a more active firmware branch which stems a new update more frequently, start at BRJ5 and download the BRJ5 to BRJ6 update.zip. Then once on BRJ6 there are constant new firmware updates regularly. The most recent I believe at the time of this post is CRLM, so BRJ6 to CRLM. It's easy to figure out once you prod around a little bit, read a bit, and learn a bit.

This build contains the July 5 2019 security patch level. Please leave a thumbs up if this is useful to you.
If you need root, flash Magisk from recovery and install Magisk Manager.
I you wish to install the Google apps, flash opengapps from recovery after first boot (you need to get the ARM version for Android 8.1 nano package is recommended).

I have one of these tablets and would love to use it but the custom rom seems to slow it down. It's Android 7. I have TWRP in it but I cannot seem to find a lighter rom to help speed things up. Any thoughts, suggestions?

Hello, I don't know if you can. This ROM is for devices codenamed gtelwifiue. You should search the forum and find out if the SM-T560 falls under that category.

Anything older than Nougat will probably suffer from multiple security vulnerabilities. Lineage 15.1 is the only ROM I found that works bug free on my tablet (14.1 has camera issues and 16.0 doesn't wake up when pushing the home button).

Hi @tc3500. If you have a previous build of lineage os 15.1 installed you can just flash the new zip in twrp and then reboot. If your tablet is stock, then you need to first root it and then install twrp recovery for the gtelwifiue first. The procedure for doing this is explained in another post on the forum. Please ensure that your model is SM T560NU or else this ROM might not work.

From memory, I rooted my tablet by flashing CF-Auto-Root-gtelwifiue-gtelwifiue-smt560nu.zip using Odin (PDA button)on Windows. Can't remember if that gave me twrp or if I had to install it seperately. Hope this helps a bit.
Note: Enable Developer Options: go to Settings -> About device. Tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options. Enable OEM unlock and USB debugging options ( Settings -> Developer options )
Note: you will need to have the Samsung USB drivers installed, you can get those by installing the Samsung Kyes software.
Note: Make sure your device is in ODIN download mode (usually you can get there by holding VolDown+Home+Power when the device is turned off)
Backup of my twrp recovery in case you need it.

I have all of the files downloaded to my laptop.
And that took some time. I got a Note 9 last year and I rarely even turn my PC on anymore. So there were many updates and and misc things to attend. Also it is frustratingly slow compared to my phone, haha.
I do need to get CF Root.
But my concern is that my Tab E is a Wifi model. And I am not sure how to verify if it will accept this modification.
It is definitely an SM-T560NU. Specifically an
SM-T560NUUEU1CQK2. I think it's an A3L, not a
gtlewifiue. So I am trying to figure that out. I backed up the device and don't mind trying to move forward if there is more of a chance that I can at least recover it to oem rather than brick it. Any advice on verification of model or recovery if install fails?
Only a guess or opinion, I know that there are no guarantees, lol. But it is very slow and I do need to make my best attempt to improve it.
Thanks.

From what I gather the letters and digits that follow SM-T560NU describe the carrier or the country of origin but I could be wrong.
I can't advise you to try or not to try flashing this ROM but there is near certainty that you can restore your original firmware from this site using the Odin method if anything goes wrong as I've mentioned in my previous post. If what you're after is speed you could even flash an older firmware (lollipop or marshmallow) and disable auto-update but you'd be left exposed to multiple android security vulnerabilities that aren't present in this updated ROM.

I keep the tablet pretty clean. It's an 'extra' device.
Don't really store anything on it. Use if for the web and take it on the boat or guests can use it. I will gl with 15.1 and see what happens. Thanks so much.
I did get the Firmware downloaded, that site is SLOW if you're cheap like me, haha. Hope your day is a good one.

When I did mine almost a year ago, I rooted first, then I flashed the TWRP img from an app such as rashr or flashify (might have to install the SuperSU app first to get the permission dialogs). Then rebooted into recovery and flashed lineage from there. But now I'm wondering if you might be able to flash TWRP directly from Odin without needing to root first. I wish someone with a fresh experience could chime in here.
Anyhow here's a video I came across that might be helpful to you:
Samsung Galaxy Tab E 9.6 Root & Install TWRP Recovery 100% Working
And yes the SamMobile site is painfully slow but it is a lifesaver if you brick your device. Once you have obtained the firmware, it is really easy to recover your device with Odin.
