Downgrade to emui 5

I got a Huawei mate se and didn't realize that allowing it to update to Android o would block the bootloader unlock tool. Is there anyway to downgrade my firmware so I can unlock my bootloader?

There is a roll-back ROM on firmware finder. As long as it shows your IMEI as approoved, it should install.
That's the nice clean way.
There is a dirty ( possibly dangerous way ) by using the nougat service ROM. That ROM is for bnd-L21, so not sure how an unlocked bootloader will handle it. It has worked on unlocked before.

I have been attempting to use firmware finder but I can't wrap my head around actually pushing the update. I heard you need an outdated version of hisuite but no one specifies what version. Any help is appreciated =)

Insttall firmware finder from playstore.
In the app select the "hamburger" menu, from top left corner. Select instructions. Either watch videos, or read the text guides

The mobile app as far as I can tell doesn't work on newer versions of android. They even have a disclaimer mentioning that the app only works for older devices now.

You are not on 8.1, the app can work.
But I was only referencing the app for the guides linked inside.
You should be able to use it to flash b330. Which should work in DC

My bad I am on 8.0 to be specific bnd-l34 8.0.0.341(c567) and as much as I've tried I can not get it to work on the phone following along on the videos. They are using the app on emui 5.0 not 8.0. It doesn't work anymore on 8.0

All there videos revolve around emui 5.0 or lower. It stopped working with 8.0

Because the locked bootloader, you can only use the firmwares that are approoved.
Chances are , the only one that's approoved is the b330
And if not , then only option is the service-rom. Followed by dc-unlock, then the hwota and correct ROM
It has been done.
There should be confirmation back in the mate thread somewhere.

This post you made here sounds doable.
This service rom so far has been only thing we found that will load with three button method (dload)
But it is not a full rom to keep on device. It needs you to follow up with flashing fullOTA of your correct version after.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid...83647474828964
1. Unzip download
2. copy the dload folder to root of sdcard
3. power on phone holding all three buttons
4. After phone finishes and reboots, unlock frp and bootloader, if needed
5. Use Huru or HWOTA to flash correct firmware for your model/ region.
Enlighten me what is huru or hwota? If I were to flash this does it boot up into android or is it non functional?

Yes, this should leave you able to boot. And with build level that should allow DC unlocked to give you the code.
Remember like I said before this is kind of a dirty way around and 'could' have issues unknown. Like what if DC does not give you a code, you would then be stuck . (Though you are stuck now)
Huru and hwota are very similar. They both use TWRP to give custom flashing control.
Hwota uses modified stock recovery to flash full ota files.
Huru repacks full ota files so that TWRP can flash them.
Since doth start with TWRP , bootloader unlock is needed.

Just spent most of the morning going back and forth with someone else with mate see, and they just did restored his device with the service ROM.
I do not now what he was restoring from, but he ended up with "unknown model" and default build number of 8.0.0.46
This is because of (probably) some data corrupt issue making the flash go bad. But he was able to run the ROM and unlock boooader.
Difference is he already had his unlock code.

Have you seen this guide?
It is for "official" hisuite roll-back
I have not rolled back so do not know it it works though.(I checked with my device, it shows no downgrade available)
I know the roll-back firmwarm listed on firmware finder was listed as "bond" and not "bnd". So this means not available "officially"

Linux on dex

Hi everyone, I've just downloaded linux on dex and it seems to work fine but does anyone know how to shut it down? Thanks!

Really? It doesn't launch at all for me. Says I need to update, and then shuts down.

Works kinda well for me. I can't type the "@" and can't shut down but everything else seems pretty decent. You need to update what? Maybe try redownloading and unzipping again. I've had problems unzipping with myfiles so I've used another app for that. It could be the unzipped file is corrupted?

I have same issue, it says it needs an update and then shuts down. From what I've heard, It seems that there is an Android update needed for it to run and some devices have not yet received the update.

I don't know if this can help you guys when you'll be able to install it but it would appear that a safe shutdown won't work. I found a way to get a shutdown icon but nothing happens when I click on it and I can't shutdown through terminal command either.

What is weird is that our T-Mobile S4's have ARJ3 which is the latest available update on Sammobile for any Tab S4. But our firmware version has a U1 in it for the bootloader and the bootloader in ARJ3 for the rest of the Tab S4's is U2.
BTW I think the latest Verizon Firmware is ARI4 which would be a month before ARJ3.

Hi, buddy, same issue with my Tab S4, need update. But, you guys got update?

Tab S4 Verzion Linux On Dex Issue
I am having the same issue with a tab s4 on verizon network. Linux On Dex complains about needing a software update, I sent an email to the email on file with the google play listing for this issue and will see if they reply.
IMO: It's kind of misleading for Samsung to say this works on a Tab S4 when clearly it does not work on all models. Seems people with carrier versions are getting the shaft.

May i ask what app you used to unzip? I am having the same problem with my files.

I've used es file explorer.... Then once unzipped I moved the folder into the proper location. Es file explorer would appear to be able to unzip it with no problem

Hello,
Folks who were able to get Linux on Dex to work, does it work on Tablet mode as well or do you need to attach the external keyboard? I am thinking about buying the Tab S4 if I can run Linux without the external monitor setup (with a bluetooth keyboard). Thanks for your help!

You just need dex, which you can enable even without a keyboard but if you wanna use Linux then yeah you need an external keyboard of some sort

I don't know, I kind of blame the carriers for this one. T-Mobiles handed off the relevant bits so the torch has been passed.

This will work in Dex Mode on the tablet itself. You do not need any accessories although a mouse and keyboard are recommended as it is a desktop OS. You can use the on screen keyboard and touch in DeX mode with Linux.
In Tablet mode only you can get to a command prompt. But be aware that that the command prompt will not allow sudo. I was hoping to do an update and could not from the tablet mode command prompt.
For those with Carrier versions (i.e. Verizon, T-Mobile):
I had to be on the October Security Patch and firmware version U2ARJ3 as the last 6 characters. Note the U2 for the bootloader version. T-Mobile's Tablet ships with U1ARJ3 and would not work. You will need to wait for the carrier to do the updates.
Hope this helps!

Same "update required" problem here, but my tablet is a WiFi version, not attached to a carrier. So I guess is more related on how awful the rollup of the updates is managed in general by Samsung, based on region specific requirements.

Why not update it yourself? You won't damage the phone or change your warranty status.
Download Newflasher and put it in the same folder as the firmware you download from Xperiafirm
Delete Userdataxxx.sin and files ending in .ta . This will ensure that you don't lose any personal data.
Then start newflasher.exe and follow instrctions.
You might need the Sony ADB drivers installed if you haven't used it before

Hm, I never did it like this - as such I am kind of afraid to do something manualy...
But how could this disapear? Wehre would I have to search? In the "Whats New" App it says "no update available"...

Download and install Sony's Xperia companion. Plug the phone in and press update

In a german forum from Vodafone(provider) the moderator said that Sony stopped the update due to some problems in the firmware.

Thanks. So I will wait

Would like more detail about using xperifirm

So if I was to use Xperifirm to download firmware which would be the best country to download from if I was in say, for instance, Canada. I'm assuming I wouldn't want US firmware because no fingerprint scanner?

Only about half the countries have a Pie firmware released. Some have carrier branding and others are "custom". I'm not sure of other differences but yes, US lacks fingerprint, and I think you can download the correct network settings from any ROM.
I'm dealing with some problem after flashing Pie (apps and video pause randomly) that may or may not be ROM related... Still troubleshooting.

I think you answered you own question. Any version other than US. Customised means exactly the oposite, they aren't branded and have no provider bloatware. If you don't mind a little bloat, or you know how remove it, UK builds like O2 are good and have VoLTE and Wificalling enabled, plus fingerprint unlock obviously

N975F Early Access Combination (Factory) and Retail Firmware Link

- The one labeled Factory is the Combination file; the other one is consumer/retail firmware
- As with other current devices, I'm assuming that "Odin 3.13 3b patched" will be needed in order to flash the stock firmware, and that the Combination file will fail to flash, until a method is found
- Once the device is released, retail firmware will be available via SamFirm and other sources, so I'm really only providing this now as early access, for anyone that wants to dig in and play around and see what they can find, etc
- I compress extra small for space and bandwidth savings. The default Windows extractor can't handle it, so you'll need a 3rd party tool like 7zip, WinRAR, etc
Happy flashing!

There's a working firmware released already.
Thanks for the Combination ROM.

[Fixed] Repair IMEI and fix deleted EFS folder for Note10+ N975F

Hi bros
First of all I am not a developer, the EFS folder of my Note10+ was deleted by mistake and I lost my IMEI numbers, after a lot of concern, researches and tests I fixed my Note10+ and I want to share my very hard and bad experience maybe someone will need it, so I will not be able to assist you or answer any technical questions and I am not responsible if your device is damaged, If my article violates the forum's terms and conditions, please admins accept my apologies, I want only to help people.
This guide ONLY to repair the ORIGINAL Samsung Note10+ N975F using the ORIGINAL IMEI NUMBERS, the tool not support changing the IMEI.
Your Note10+ must/will be rooted and you will lose your warranty and some Samsung services.
This is how I fixed my Note10+:
1- I found a repair tool which support N975F and will not need a box, the tool called ChimeraTool.
2- Bootloader must be unlocked which in my case was already because I lost the EFS folder while rooting the device.
3- Enable USB debugging from the developers options, from your PC open ChimeraTool and connect your Note10+.
4- Repair your IMEI from ChimeraTool ----> Repair -----> Repair and type your IMEI numbers. (here you will see your IMEI numbers in "About Phone" but you can't make calls, you need to install some certificates)
5- Root your Note10+ using this guide by @dr.ketan https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10+/how-to/guide-how-to-root-note-10-t3960031
6- Go back to ChimeraTool ----> Repair -----> Patch certificates.
Enjoy
Please Note:
1- Read the root guide carefully, specially:
(Powering up normally) → (System with NO Magisk)
(OEM Recovery Key Combo) → (Splash screen) → (Release all buttons) → (System with Magisk)
(OEM Recovery Key Combo) → (Splash screen) → (Keep pressing volume up) → (Actual recovery)
2- The fix take from me 2 tries, first try and after I finished fixing the problem and started to install my apps to start using my Note10+, I restart the phone but it could't boot the system, but the second try, now I used the phone for 3 days and everything gos smooth like any normal Note10+
3- If you do a hard reset or install a new firmware using Odin you will lose the IMEI again lose the certificates so you will not able to make calls, but you will able to see IMEI numbers in the "About Phone"
3- You can do a factory reset without losing the IMEI or certificates but If you do a factory reset from settings, you must click volume up + power buttons as soon as the phone restarted to finish the factory reset. (it looks like the system can't enter the recovery automatically because of the root).
4- If you flash a rom using Odin you will lose the certificates and you will not able to make calls but you will able to see the IMEI numbers in "About Phone", you will need to repatch certificates using ChimeraTool.
Best Regards
Update 30.11.2019:
The phone still working perfectly, I unrooted my Note10+ by uninstalled Magisk from Magisk manager, Norton antivirus telling me No risks found in my system, the phone is not rooted and no untrusted certificates ...etc, in Software update the phone telling me I have the latest version (In similar case the Note 9 was telling me my phone has a custom ROM and can't get updates) so I hope I will get official update in the future for my Note 10+.

I could't understand you 100%, for me the fix cost me only 11.90€ (the 3 days start license), I never needed any other purchasing, I used Odin to flash the ROM and Magisk-Patch.tar, not need any other tools or purchasing.

From what I understand the problem is if you install a newer bootloader and then when I was inserting a custom ROM I did a downgrade. which caused the loss of my IMEI and the baseband version. I hope to be helpful. Greetings. I was about to pay Chimera Tool

I'm having trouble with writing my IMEI into a g970F .. Chimera goes to rewrite procedure gets to the current IMEI number write then get "repair IMEI failed" anyone else having similar issues .I'm new to Chimera and I'm sure it's something easy n obvious I'm missing ... Cheers all n stay safe

Is Chimera starter license 12€ still. Cannot find thaf option on chimera’s website. Can anyone please help ?

This Page have been helpful. Thanks to all people. One question i have is if you want to update firmware later once new version comes out, we can use magisk to patch the new firmware AP file and flash it via odin. Do we need to patch certificate again ?

I can't see this license on their site. I am being shown the samsung pro license.

Unfortunately that 13$ Chimera license isn't available anymore. Samsung pro license now starting at 69€.

you need a subscription for chimera and then some of the activities require purchasing also.. i got me a free year subscription but that was a hookup lol.. prior to that tho i paid for it.. just the flashing feature is worth it for someone like me whos constantly flashing.. it allows to select a whole firmware file and can pick which partitionswithin the firmware u want to flasj.. i.e u dont need to b constantly ectracting and packing stuff u want to flash

Update 30.11.2019:
The phone still working perfectly, I unrooted my Note10+ by uninstalled Magisk from Magisk manager, Norton antivirus telling me No risks found in my system, the phone is not rooted and no untrusted certificates ...etc, in Software update the phone telling me I have the latest version (In similar case the Note 9 was telling me my phone has a custom ROM and can't get updates) so I hope I will get official update in the future for my Note 10+.
Where you able to receive firmware updates ?

Did you get back all Samsung's features back after unroot like Samsung pay, pass etc?
