Firmware recall Android 10 samsung A70 - Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers

Did samsung just recalled whole android 10 firmware for Samsung A70 (all varients) over this battery charging pcb getting broke with android 10 firmware?
Because I can't get OTA anymore and Sam firmware website or samfirm windows app can't find android 10 too?

Ffs I downloaded it but mi e isn't too bad just rubbish finger print reader

Its been great for me so far! I didn't noticed any bugs or I didn't aware of it.
Should i downgrade? Is it a security issue?

No stay.
Downgrading has a risk of data loss
I am assuming that that the jew update may have different pda and csc in which case you might get OTA update
If everything is working as it should, keep using it

I also updated to 10. main issues was battery drain, like titanic. Rolled back with Odin to 9. It is super now, batter life is awesome on 9.
You can google the "how to"

There are apps that can backup your contacts and messages and call logs without root.
Use those
Copy entire internal storage to external SD card. This way you can save your games and app data.after rolling back simply reinstall those apps and repaste the copied data back to internal storage and most of your apps would work flawlessly.
You can backup whatsapp on Google drive and restore from there.
For rolling back use Odin to flash stock android 9.
It is a but of Hassle but according to many users, it's worth it

I'm updating as well, I'm guessing its 5.1.1. T-mobile, however, announced they are already testing 6.0 for their devices including note 4
Failed the update.....going to advance the date on the phone and try the update again.

Oh well, I guess I should simply be happy we're finally getting the 5.1.1 update. Really wish it included the theme store though (especially since we can't root)...
Thanks for the quick reply omair :good:
Does I need to be on the US and use an ATT simcard to update? I've recently bought an att note4 and it's on transit to my country.
No firmware?
After the update my device still says update available, however, it says 5.1.1 under device info. When I press continue update, it flashes "no firmware" and the icon at the top of the notification bar shows the arrows in opposite directions as if its trying to update, but nothing is happening. Any ideas as to why this occurs? Im using att straight talk and never had any issues with updates prior. Thanks in advance.
update try #3 failed as well......oh well i will be nuking the phone and trying it again.
Just finished the 5.1.1 update - no issues & phone's responsiveness is great now.
For once, add me to the list of people whose update went off without a hitch & promised enhancements actually are there.
There was a bit of sluggishness after the first reboot after install, but I'm thinking that was due to some kind of initial indexing going on in the background.
Aside from that, all apps, including Android Pay are working as before and no lag in the Recent Apps button. Text scrolling is noticibly smoother, especially when scrolling, for example, the list of installed apps in App Manager.

Mine failed too at 1%, on reboot it said the update was interrupted. Same thing happened in the initial update to Lollipop. Going to go out on a limb and guess this is related to my phone being encrypted. Wiping the phone was the only way I could get that update to take. (The little interim ones did work for me). Sure makes me wise I could backup my phone with Titanium Backup like I used to.

Ascend XT2 B130 Update and CleanRom Rom's

Well here we go
This is the First Update for the XT2 in a flashable rom​
This is for those who unlocked their bootloader and installed TWRP and can not take OTA update on their phones
As most here know ower version of TWRP is not complete and cannot decrypt the /data partition
so unfortunately you'll have to wipe your phone to install this update (sorry)
Note This also Removes TWRP and restores Stock Recovery
Flashing instructions
download and copy the Stock_B130_ XT2_H1711.zip to your ex_sdcard
copy Magisk-v16.0.zip to your ex_sdcard (just in case you need to patch the boot.img)
Boot into TWRP swipe to allow system access
Go to Settings check Use rm -fr instead of formatting
next choose Wipe / Format Data / Type "yes" to confirm
Now choose Home / Install /Select storage Micro sd /Stock_B130_ XT2_H1711.zip and Flash it (watch the flash for any Red Errors)
choose wipe cache and then reboot.
If everything went well you should be on B130 and ready to setup your phone
Huge thanks go to @m0000 for sharing his updated files
If you have any problems you'll need to reflash TWRP and Try patching the boot.img with Magisk or restore your last backup or simply flash my B120 stock rom
XT2 B130 CleanRom​
Now that you have a Stock updated phone you may want to remove all the AT&T Bloat
Here's my CleanRom that removes around 350mb of useless junk from the phone.
First you'll need to flash TWRP back to your phone from fastboot
download recoveryV3_Fixed.zip > https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939832036
and extract it to your fastboot folder
Shutdown the phone
reboot to the bootloader (power + volume down + plugged in to the PC)
and flash it from command prompt with
fastboot flash recovery recoveryV3_Fixed.img
next reboot to TWRP (power + volume up )
Now you can Download the CleanRom and copy it to your ext_sdcard from your pc.
Flashing instructions are the same as above, but you can do a dirty flash by not formatting data like above if you want to keep your current apps
Here's the list of whats removed
Apps deleted from System:
Amazon shopping
App select
Call Protect
Protect Plus
Device Help
Setup & Transfer
CricketWiFiManager
Facebook
Facebook App Installer
Facebook app manager
Gmail
Google Duo
Google Chrome
Google Drive
Google Maps
Google Play Photos
Google Play Video
Google Play Music
Google Text to Speach Engine
Ignite
Lookout
myCricket
Apps deleted from /Data/hwinit/: (If you dirty flashed these will still be on your phone)
Google Editor Slides
Google Editor Sheets
Google Editor Docs
Firefox
Apps deleted from Cust:
AT&T Remote Support
myAT&T
AT&T Hot Spots
Google Talkback
everything in the H1711z folder
The rom includes the patched boot.img from magisk v16 (it's rooted)
This will probably be the only rom I release for this phone because I don't own one.
Awesome. Thank you! So if I flash magisk after I should be able to keep my root then?

Yes will need to start over ( TWRP & Magisk )

Alright. I just want to confirm that the update was successful
Out of curiosity I wanted to see if I could relock the bootloader and that finally worked too. (see screenshot) I was never able to do that before on the B120 stock rom so this is great news if I ever decide to sell the phone or just wanna get SafetyNet working correctly.
I went ahead and unlocked my bootloader again and I flashed TWRP through fastboot, Booted into TWRP and flashed magisk v16 in the OP, rebooted and I am enjoying root again with an updated phone.
Thanks again guys!

I have no idea but that sure would be awesome! I am guessing it would be a real pain due to the fact Huawei has not released the source code for this phone.

If you need a guinea pig for future testing let me know. I have one with your CleanRom and a stock unlocked one for any and all future updates.
Thanks!
I really liked this phone, i was actually impressed. I had money to spend on a new budget phone and I was between a ZTE blade spark and this huawei.
ZTE was ok for me because a couple of years ago i bought one of their big phones but their camera sucked a lot of blur and never had focus. sometimes i even had to touch the screen again and again to make it focus, while capturing video. So i gave a shot to this Huawei, went to walmart, they wanted 89 for the phone, told them to check online because it was 69 online and they lowered me the price right away.
then used the huawei for about an hour and damn, the camera is awesome, and the LCD screen is beautiful.
I have to research on how to unlock the bootloader and pay the 5bucks to make that happen.
One thing i noticed is that altho the phone has a 16gb capacity, i was looking at the storage area and you actually end up having something like 7.3gigs free. Is that normal? most of the space is taken by the rom. Your clean rom would help a lot at least to get more space, but how come it only frees 300megs.
and thank you very much for the update. i do know how damn hard it is to update at&t gophones because those assholes only let you update the phone if you have an att simcard inserted that is also activated and you have to be with an IP that is inside USA, and have celular data ON, and sometimes even having all that.. it doesnt even update

The Samsung Unlocked s10+ is now receiving the Android 10 update. the notification just popped up on my phone.
Yeah I grabbed the tar files earlier I'm uploading it now.
Finally!
Just got my update ?
Make sure you guys backup any files you may have on your phone before updating. My fruity ass didn't and an error popped up during the update it wiped all my apps and settings and booted into safe mode now i'm forced to do factory restore and start from scratch.
Still waiting on mine

Camera Failed

Not much to say.
When I open camera app I get a pop up saying camera failed.
I have force stopped app clear data and cache and restarted. Didn't work. I have factory reset. I got the phone back in June under Verizon.
Any tips on getting this fixed would be great.
Thanks

I have done that as well through bootloader. Forgot to mention. It may be a software issue. I flash a older firmware and the camera worked. I let it update and it worked but after a few hours it stopped working. I've yet to let it stay on the software version that works for more then few minutes.

Updates are overated... if I have a stable load that's running well I leave it alone.
I've run outdated OS's on Android for years with no major issues or forced reloads because of it.
Old firmware/software doesn't break Androids but new ones sure as hell can...
Still running on Pie on my 10+ with no plans to go to Q.

Yeah they like to lock the doors behind you... just remember the lesson.
I learned the hard way with Kitkat; the last update did nothing except make easy root impossible.
With lollipop AT&T/Samsung purposely screwed up the graphics on just that old model for contacts and the music play list making the S4+ next to unusable.
They'll say it will run better, be more secure.
BS.
Never had a OS "upgrade" that wasn't bigger, hoggier and slower then the original on Android.
Never in 6 years of running outdated OS's on Androids had to do a reload from a virus or worm.
Sure it can happen but rarely does if you don't do stupid things.
Play with it, eventually you'll sort it out

You can install the update with odin. As for backup, I use smartswitch. When I install any updates I start from scratch. I use the non_home csc to ensure it's a clean install. You may try the home_csc that will leave your phone as is as far as any apps go but you'll probably have to re-root the phone anyways. You may have minor issues as well...

Yeah, a clean installation is what I'm after as well.
So if I understood correctly, I'll just update like you do to a clean install, then root again and restore backup using smartswitch and that's it?

Perfect, should I use the same method I did last time with same magisk versions and all that? I still have April's build and rooted with Arobase's guide (I can't find it here anymore though). Thanks for all the help nonetheless!
I never did clean so many months now. I follow the procedure for rooting and i update without any problems.

I'm seeing atleast 20-30% less SOT in this update. Also some apps started crashing unexpectedly, I get a dialog box saying a specific app has crashed. Haven't happened before.
