[Q] Problem with Galaxy Tab 7'' update

Hello.
I recently got myself a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7in and everything seemed to be working just fine until the system eventually prompted me to update the Samsung software. I followed the steps, the tablet downloaded the update files itself and rebooted in order to install the updates. Problem is, during the reboot/installation process the screen remained black with just 2 lines of pixels on across the screen, I though this was part of the booting process but it just stood there for more than 10 minutes so I decided to turn it back on. Everything seemed to be fine, but then an error message came up saying there could be problems with the software (i didn't pay too much attention), but after this it won't let me install any apps. After an app is done downloading a message pops up saying "unknown error code during application install -110", plus my computer (or any other computer) doesn't detect when it's plugged in via USB cable. I've tried doing several factory resets and wipes and still have the same issues. Tried installing Kies but it won't detect it either.
How can I repair the firmware without having to connect the tablet to my computer? Is there anything I can download directly to it or transfer via Bluetooth to re-install the software?
Any help will be very much appreciated

Try resetting it back to factory defaults. You can google it easily.

my friend has the same problem. did you fix the issue? if so how?

I am using the Apex Launcher but I think this is possible with stock launcher as well hopefully it helps someone. This is one way to do a factory reset is:
You will need your MSL TO DO THIS. If you don't know it put the "Factory Mode" shortcut on your home screen then skip down to the 2nd part of this post & install the msl app.
FACTORY RESET:
1) long click on the home screen
2) click on shortcut
3) select Activities
4)Scroll down to "Factory Mode" tap it then select the dropled down one. This will put a Shortcut on the Home Screen.
5) Find the Factory Mode shortcut you just made & tap it to open it.
6) Dial ##786# then on the screen that pops up
7) select "RESET"
8)enter your msl in the box that popped up then select ok then the device will reboot & when it powers backup it will be like it was from the factory & if you don't know your MSL follow the instructions below.
TO GET MSL:
1) In a browser type bit.ly/mslutility - can sideload if needed
2)install app
3) Open app & click get MSL it will most likely fail this is fine.
4) click on the factory mode shortcut you made to open it
5) dial ##3282# & put in 6 zeros-it will tell you that it's incorrect this is fine. Go back to home screen
6) Open the MSL App & click on Get MSL-this time it should give you your devices 6 digit MSL Code. Write it down. Then do step # 6 above to reset your Device.
This shortcut will allow you to put the Sprint SGT3 into DIAG MODE(##3424#) , get into the ##data#(##3282#) menu, do the factory reset ##RTN# (##786#) & most likely any other Dialer/hidden menu's for this device.
Thanks to the MSL App builder(not sure who it is so let me know please)

ATT Note 5 Native Tether/hotspot (NO Root) 6.0.1 MM

I am using an at&t note 5 (sm-920A) i downgraded from Nougat EQC6, 7.0.1 to 6.0.1. MM CPK1 with Binary 4 bootloader. This phone has never been rooted.
I now have access to hotspot in my notifications drop down menu, and USB tethering along with Bluetooth tethering work by just going to the option and switching them on.
My Goal was initially to downgrade to 5.1.1 to get root so i could make use of the Native Tether/Hotspot and other root apps on my ATT Note 5.
I am using this phone on the Straight Talk network.
This is my first how-to and first post. I apologize if i post in the wrong section or am unable to give more help to those in need.
I've searched/googled and although i have found workarounds i have not found any how-to's to get to this end result.
Ive been using my note 5 this way for a few days now with no problems. disabled att bloatware, knox, and system updates with package disabler pro.
With not having any issues, I flashed back to the 6.01 firmware to check my steps and write this how-to. Will update if anything changes.
WARNING!!
Some things i did may be unnessary but were in my process at the time of writing/doing this so are included
I haven't tested everything on this phone.
I don't know if there are any bugs.
I don't know what will happen when updated.
I do not garuntee this will work for you.
I take NO responsibility if your decision to try/do this fails.
The Search button and google were my biggest helpers.
Here is my process as laid out and straight forward as i could think to write it.

Big Thank you to these guys for posting this stuff, and everything else they post.
I am assuming you know how to put your phone into download mode and use odin in the following instructions. I left my phone connected to my pc with sim card in the entire process.
1. Unzip N920AUCS4CPK1, then Flash using odin. Use all 4 files in their respected spots. nothing else has to be changed hit start.
After reboot I setup up the phone enough to get to settings and enable developer options. making sure to turn on adb debugging and oem unlock. then rebooted to download mode
2. In Odin, Flash N920AUCE2APB2.tar in the BL slot and COMBINATION_FA51_N920AUCU4APL1_CL6053901_QB11816686_REV00_user_mid_noship.tar in the AP slot. (I flashed these two at the same time)
Phone will reboot to binary splash screen then start regularly. For me the phone Played boot music and (vibrated then vibrate twice) repeatedly. Bootloop
If this happens to you as well,
2a. Shut phone off by holding volume down key and power button.
(If you are brought to a screen that says power key long press in yellow with other information below[well call this the info screen, not sure on its proper name],
then power off by holding volume down key and power key again, releasing both when screen goes blank.
2b. When the phone is completly off reboot to recovery by holding volume up key and power key.
Do a factory reset and wipe cache. Then reboot. (If it freezes at cache complete, power off with volume down key and power key).
Holding power button for 10 seconds or more will boot you to info screen again.
3. Your phone should load to a home screen with what looks like a debugging menu as the background.
4. Turn phone off and boot to download mode.
5. In Odin, load BL, AP, and CP from N920AUCS4CPK1. Leave CSC blank. No other options should be changed in Odin.
6. You will reboot to recovery. Use reboot option. dm verity check will start then phone should reboot to normal setup initialization.
7. If for some reason your phone shows the wrong storage size, go to back-up and resert in settings and o a factory data reset mine was showing up as 16gb where as it is 64gb
That was everything i did.
If with straight talk send a text to 611611 with the mesage being apn.
afrter a few minutes they will send a configuration message for browser and mms.
Install both. They should say installed when complete.
For others you will have to input your apn settings manually.
My phone showed H+ for the first few minutes, has been showing 4g ever since.
Just a few thoughts before i post, but are in no way tested or confirmed...
I'm thinking coming from cpk1 full firmware you could just flash the combination file in the AP slot.
Then after reboot to Download mode flash the cpk1 firmware without the CSC file and hve the same result,
but I havnt had a chance to test that yet as i need my phone running, and will soon have to go to work.
The main reason the N920AUCE2APB2.tar file was used was because i was playing around flashing different files it may or may not be needed. further testing is needed. but it was there during this process so i included it. Again I apologize if this could be simplified or if i left anything out. any comments are appreciated positive or negative. Thanks

So i did a little testing. Flash cpk1 all files. Then flash the custom binary and rebooting to download mode. Then flash the cpk1 files again minus the csc file. Leave that slot(csc) empty in odin and it will give you native hotspot and tethering. You get hotspot from notification drop down menu and No more contact att. It will take away the calls over wifi option though.
I will edit this walkthrough (if you canveven call it that) soon to reflect the changes. Thank you for reading.

Hello Badbrane, I followed your instructions and I succeeded
Thanks a lot!
EDIT: After some testing I found out a bluetooth issue.
The first time I turn the device on, the bluetooth works fine. Then, after a reboot, I can't turn bluetooth on any more.
If I go through a Factory reset I will get the bluetooth working again, till next reboot

I need some help. I'm stuck in 2b (yellow information screen). when i hold [volume down] + [power button] it restarts instead of turning off. What should I do?

The combination file is no longer on Android file host. Any chance you have another link?
Im blind

I havnt really messed with the bluetooth much on my note 5 since i did this process. there are definetly a few bugs but my only concern was being able to use hotspot and tether. found out later that the system will try to auto update but it crashes every time so i no worring about hitting binary 5, as far as i know that is

Mi A2 Lite Bluetooth Audio Problems? Back To Oreo?

Hi There,
Just bought my GF a Mi A2 Lite a few weeks ago and she is loving it compared to her old iPhone 5s but one major issue atm is that her bluetooth headphones seem to be giving her issues!
The audio stutters a LOT even when right next to the phone. Tried resetting the Bluetooth connection but to no avail.
I had a quick scan through the forums and seen that people recommend going back to Oreo to solve the issues.
Is there any clear guides or links on how to do this? I know my way around tech so should have any issues following a guide.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, it's a very annoying bug.... I have it too, but didn't find a solution
That's the reason why I downgraded to Oreo!
If you want to downgrade,
1. you must unlock the bootloader, but this will erase all of your data. So, don't forget to make a backup of your internal storage. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-official-t3885578
2. Install MiFlash and ADB on your computer: https://www.xiaomiflash.com/download/ https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
3. Download an oreo stock rom and unzip it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/fastboot-xiaomi-mi-a2-fastboot-images-t3824871
4. Boot your phone into bootloader
-> Connect your phone with your computer and enable ADB in developer settings
-> Shutdown your phone and hold Volume Down and Power-Button to boot your phone into fastboot/bootloader
5. Open the MiFlash-Tool on your computer and select the Oreo-Stock-Rom which you want to install.
6. At the bottom of the MiFlash window you must choose clean all, this will erase all of your data!
7. If your phone gets recognized from your computer and the programm, then you can hit the button flash on the top of the window
8. This procedure takes a while, so be patient.
9. If everything works, it will reboot your phone automatically.
10. Maybe you will have the bug of swapped SIMs. You must install TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/development/official-twrp-daisy-t3855396
and flash this file to fix it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4704476&stc=1&d=1550012435
11. Perfect! You downgraded to Oreo!
I hope this little guide could help you, and sorry if it's a bit complicated

If it's any consolation, I had this issue on Oreo and Pie!
I'm now upgrading to a Pixel 3a, but keeping this phone for development. Might try porting Ubuntu Touch some time. ?

If so, it was a problem with every one I tried!
I tried on a generic Bluetooth speaker, two different generations of Echo Dot, and on a current gen regular Echo.

It is channels problem. Bluetooth and WiFi are on 2.4GHz. Some frequencies are busy and it stutters. Turn off WiFi and Bluetooth. Turn Bluetooth on and connect your Bluetooth device. Wait 10 seconds and turn on WiFi. After this WiFi will avoid frequency where is Bluetooth device and use free frequencies.

But it stutters also when wifi is offline. And on Android 8 I don't have this frequency-problem

You can solve by adding the the missing codecs, all the routes are still there, xiaomi removed licensed codecs

Downgrade helped as of 30.05.2019
Mi A2 lite
Bought Galaxy Buds. Stuttered and eventually lost connection.
NOTE:What comes ahead is my personal experience (with some software errors that doesnt seem to have effect on our goal) downgrading my MI A2 lite to Oreo.
Downloaded Android Oreo 9.6.11 , ADB and Fastboot, Miflash(latest from site) from links in the beginning of the thread.
Very few proper video tutorials (Indian mostlyXD).
Enabled developer options on my phone (tapping 7 times on build number). In developer options enabled allow OEM unlock and turned on usb debug mode.
Turned off phone and launched it it fastboot mode (hold "volume down" and power button simultaneously). Connect phone to PC via usb.
Open folder on PC where you installed ADB and fastboot software. Launch cmd.exe or smth. In black window type "fastboot oem unlock" Enter. The phone reboots (takes a lot of time dont be alert) and wipes data from your phone. You will see a scary message/warning (disappear s after few sec) that asks you to lock bootloader back.
NOTE: somehow my device did not ask for any confirmations for enabling unlocked bootloader.
NOTE 2: I was trying to do this whole process by video and text guides. Some ppl type commands in cmd "fastboot flashing unlock" and then "fastboot flashing unlock_critical" BUT for some reason this commands did nothing. So all I did is oem unlock command.
After OEM unlock command rebooted phone skip all phone setups and open developer mode again (if it is locked) and in dev options check if "allow oem unlock" and usb debug mode is turned on. Turn off your phone and load it in fastboot mode (volume down+power).
On PC unpack Android Oreo files. It should look like a long name folder with some .bat files and folder (avoid unpacking in place with strange name paths).
Launch MiFlash tool. NOTE: it gave me a prompt for installing drivers and after i pressed it gave an error. It is fixed by creating inside MiFlash tool folder a new folder and naming it "log". Then launch the tool again and press install drivers.
Once you are in MiFlash program there is a ling space where you can insert a file path. You need to copy a file path that leads to your unpacked Android Oreo files (the path should lead inside where the .bat files located). Paste this copied path into MiFlash path bar and press refresh button. If there is no error you can proceed by pressing in the bottom right corner a "clear all" option and in the top right "flash" button. This will install Android Oreo on your mi a2 lite.
After the process is done i had an error in MiFlash program BUT the phone reboots on its own with downgraded Android version. Turn the phone off, load it in fastboot mode, connect via usb and run in ADB folder CMD.exe and run "fastboot oem lock" command. The phone reboots, takes a while.
!!!
After it reboots immediately skip all phone setup menus especially wifi and account options and go straight in settings to unlock developer mode. In developer options TURN OFF AUTOMATIC SYSTEM UPDATES! After it you can finish phone setup process ,accounts, networks and everything else.
An Android message "update available" can pop up. To get rid of it for good simply swipe it slowly A BIT (not all the way) till you see a cog sign (options icon) and there turn of this notification.
Now you can go smoke a cigar. Android 8.1.0 Oreo installed AND it wont update automaticlly to PIE. You can use your bluetooth devices properly (or whatever problems you had).
Have a nice day. Gonna probably go buy Samsung A30. This **** is unacceptable. Pie update rolled out long time ago (Android Q is releasing in 3 months from now) and this stuff is still not fixed. Wtf

Solution
I did a simple step to fix pair
Reboot into safe mode, pair the select device, after pair reboot out the safe mode and you see the device paired.

How To Guide [How To] Update Sharp Aquos R6 Outside Japan - Docomo Version - Without Factory Reset

It's been said that Docomo phone are easier to update, only Japan VPN needed. But in reality it's not that simple. Even after using VPN, most of the time you wont be able to find OTA update through system update. Sure factory reset can help you to get update, but keep resetting phone for each update is unproductive and bothersome.
And nobody bother to actually write down the detail instruction on how to update Docomo phone (in this case is Aquos R6)
So here you go, the needed steps to update without factory reset your phone.
1. Download Proton VPN, it's Japan server is fast and free
2. Take out SIM card from the phone (it will automatically restarted by doing so)
3. Connect to fast WiFi

It's been said that Docomo phone are easier to update, only Japan VPN needed. But in reality it's not that simple. Even after using VPN, most of the time you wont be able to find OTA update through system update. Sure factory reset can help you to get update, but keep resetting phone for each update is unproductive and bothersome.
And nobody bother to actually write down the detail instruction on how to update Docomo phone (in this case is Aquos R6)
So here you go, the needed steps to update without factory reset your phone.
1. Download Proton VPN, it's Japan server is fast and free
2. Take out SIM card from the phone (it will automatically restarted by doing so)
3. Connect to fast WiFi
4. Open Proton VPN and connect to Japan server
5. Turn off WiFi but don't kill/close your VPN app
6. Go to Setting, type in search field : "Google Services Framework" , tap it, choose Storage, and do Clear All Data & Clear Cache
7. Now search again, for "Google Play Services" , and choose storage again, tap on Manage Space and choose "Clear All Data"

Thank you so much. This procedure also worked on R6 Softbank version. It's interesting that after the update to android 12 my R6 drains less battery than before...

hello mate
i have been using docomo fujitsu F52A, followed your guide and upgraded from oldest buil number of android 10 to newest build number of android 11, but after that i could not upgrade to android 12 by the same process, always get ''newest firmware'' on phone though android 12 has existed on Docomo website, any advices ? thanks

I found this after ONE YEAR looking for a solution.
I'm stuck on old version but I'm using a Huawei P30 Pro, locked to DOCOMO and can't upgrade.
I've tried following steps but, stuck on finding " Google Services Framework" , it just doesn't appear there .
Current version is Android Emui 9.1
Please, can somebody help me out? It's been driving me nuts.

Huawei might be entirely different story mate, is the update itself listed on Docomo site ?

Sometimes you just need to try again,
latest update not always appear right away in my case as well. Sometimes the clearing data sequences also matter.
If it doesnt appear, just reboot first and start the step from beginning again.

Google translate is your friend. Lol

I can't find it but I do get a notification on phone (DOCOMO UPDATER) saying there is an update but whenever I try to update it says I need to connect to DOCOMO network. Even with VPN opened.

Hi all, close to ordering an R7 but nervous at the outlay if I then have issues updating, so a couple of quick questions:
1. Should the above work for softbank too?
2. If I have to factory reset, how do I use a vpn service without adding a Google account?
3. I can get a prepaid softbank sim but in theory it doesn't work abroad... However will it still work for these purposes, of the phone seeing its a softbank and updating?
It likely won't he my daily phone but one to use when on trips taking photos, so it's not the end of the world if I have to factory reset to do updates.

Thanks for this. You weren't kidding about following all of these steps. Also, apparently my R6 wanted security updates (2) to a11 before updating to a12.

Hi all, struggling with a step on this and can't get any updates - how do I set region to Japan?

Motorola One Action auto update failed now stuck on "Just a sec..."

Hi,
My Motorola One Action is original (so no custom firmware or rooted) and every now and then i receive auto updates. Recently the phone was upgraded to Android 11. Fine.
Last weekend there was an update and in the morning the phone was stuck on Android bootloader with the question "format" or "retry" (cannot remember exactly, but it was 2 questions) and i chose "retry". The device rebooted; android logo showed up and then the google/android assistant showed up with the notification "Hello" and a lanuage selector.
I choose NL or EN and then a white screen with "Just a sec..." appears and this screen will stay there forever. I put the phone on charger and waited 30 hours, still the same.
What i tried:
- reboot;
- press & hold power button long time; reboot;
- turn off and then volume Down + Power key bootloader. There isnt much i can do here;
- from screen above; go to fastboot mode (volume Up + power) but unfortunately there is no whipe cache option; only whipe data / factory reset.
FYI: there are still a lot of photo's on the device; i dont want a factory reset and/or whipe data.
I put device in bootloader mode again, connect with usb and installed "Rescue and Smart Assistant". The device recognized, IMEI is found and more stuff. In this Windows app i can download the correct firmware; i store it in c:/motorola/firware. The file is troika_reteu_rsbs31.q1-48-36-23-2_subsidy-default_regulatory-default_cfc.xml.zip
The the "Start Rescue" button is shown; but the message "Flashing removes all data from device".
I dont want that so i followed this guide:
The conversion went OK and executed the file generated (.bat), immediately a upload process starts; this takes about 5-6 minutes. After that; a device reboot and still... the same result.
Any tips or advice would be very helpful (i hope).

I found this; looks promising

But unfortunately the image browser does not respond.

I have contacted Motorola / Lenovo using their forum. In short their answer is that for almost sure the only way is to completely reset the device that means whiping data.
Is there absolutely no way to access the data partition?

I used ADB to flash a newer and older version of android.
Both version gave a error message directly when phone powered on.
Then i re-installed the current version of android; phone worked again. Unfortunately all data lost.
