[How To] Manually Update Camera Firmware [TW/4.4.x][G900*] - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am giving a $40 buck bounty who ever cracks this one *** This is a Tread to get all camera firmware update Help and information for our models G900****
* i get the bounty and i take any donation gladly
***** i am not responsible for what you understand***** so please read carefully
If you are not capable of following this simple steps and somehow magically EFF you camera just
Full Clean wipe Reflash thru odin or so they say and cross your fingers
SO... After i decided to sit and make some time to reverse engineer the camera test.apk
i managed to solve this one..
**PS: for all of you saying that ones you odin upgrade it will update the CAM.fw automaticly then go ahead and skip this thread as i tried personally flashing 4 times thru odin and nothing happened only the phone fw would update not the camera fw/ besides i don't want to delete anything and this is a better faster way
All you need:
*Any Galaxy S5 G900*[m/t/f/h/w8/any] series with kk4.4.x
[not tested on 5.0 you are welcome to try my solution with the well deserve credits to my self]
*Touchwiz only (you can always update your camera and go back to CM)
*no need to be rooted
* you need to make sure you unfreeze or have installed the CameraTest.apk (FactoryCamera_FB.apk)
if you are using any de bloated rom or you have ran any debloaters
** if you don't see the flashing options enabled..... with you CameraTest.apk then replace it with the one i will indicate below.
First and most important step:
* dial on your phone *#34971539#
( you will get the Camera Firmware Standard screen if you don't then read the steps above again.. see what you are missing)

2.Click on the first options see image above ... Phone/Cam FW ver...
3. take a screenshot of the results on the notification and write down your CAM fw information
*** F16QL, C16L and F16QS Are your camera sensor / Module this information is for you to know what FW you need..
*** last 6 digits are your fw release version
Now that you have that information you may proceed..
1. Get the latest CAM fw for your device with that information..
**.Download any Flashable ROM for your Device model (or if rooted get them from your phone)
2. go to \system\cameradata\
search and extract these 2 files: "yoursensor model"_Isp0.xxxxx.bin / "yoursensor model"_Isp1.xxxxx.bin
3. Save them some where else where you can edit them...
4. Rename "yoursensor model"_(Isp0).xxxxx.bin to CamFW_Main.bin
5. Rename "yoursensor model"_(Isp1).xxxxx.bin to CamFW_Companion.bin
6. Save them and put them on your Internal Memory root directory (not your exterternal sd card)
7. Download the ****.Key file that i will send you and place it in the same directory as the fw files.
******
After this you are all set up and ready..
dial on your phone *#34971539# again and you will see all options are no longer greyed out
2. click on Cam/Phone Fw ver and check that the NEW FW is being detected
(compare with your previews info)
EG. i Had CamFw F16QL"GB00SB" and phone version F16QL"HC04GB" * same as Rom release coding
3. just for safety click on both CAM DUMP options
4. Click on Phone to Cam FW write (main) ones done reboot..
5. Go back to the firmware screen and click on " Phone to Cam FW write (7cxl) or your model number
REBOOT... PROFIT!!!!!
Go to check cam/phone FW ver again and see both are the same now
****If you say Thanks you can take the link to get the ****.KEY file******
Upload your FW on this thread just add your Device Model and FW version

***Modders i have endlessly searched and nothing is available yet for the G900* series**
Previews Research:
***I have tried the Note 3 **** this is not working***
Factory_CameraFB.apk method and i am not risking it..
you can actually replace the APP and works but it is very different than the one for the G900* it does not include the Front section and stuff but they have done some improvements if you want to get some pointers here is the thread: Note3 Camera Update
**
Other methods only works for S3
With the galaxy S3 you dial *#34971539# and open the Camera Firmware flashing tool
As soon as you had the updated SlimISP.bin(firmware file) file in the root of your internal memory the software would detect it and enable the
Flash Phone to Cam FW option to update..
Firmware locations
on your phone you need root they are located in system/cameradata (TW442) and in some cases system/vendor/firmware
you have various files ending with .BIN and in the name they have Isp and your camera hw Model F16QL
Mi G900T has ( F16QL ) this is the HW type then i have version GB00SB in stalled on the Camera
but the Phone version is HC04GB
WAY TO UPDATED and i wants to be able to flash it

I was wondering the same thing... No actual proof, or information as to what this actuality does. I wonder why people make posts like this, expecting them to PM the op without knowing firsthand what this even does.

Hi there,

I'm pretty sure that with the complete lack of any evidence this does anything whatsoever. The OP hasnt replied and there aren't any examples of Any improvements.

will this mod work on Samsung galaxy Alpha,we have same sensor as S5

Will it work on lollipop

Thanks , please send me a link

1q2w3e4r.key
Folks,
You can make your own .key file because it is simply blank! However, the filename must be 1q2w3e4r.key and it should be placed with the camera firmware .bin files in \system\cameradata\ together.

A quick tutorial on how to flash the new Rotohammer roms (these have no bootstraps)

Ok here is a simple tutorial for any new to this tab stuff like I was yesterday.
I take no credit for this just wanted to help compile an easy solution.
It is so simple once you figure it out.
First download Odin v1.7 here unzip it and stick it on your desktop,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=478059&d=1293895557
Then download these files.
http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/
These zips need to be unpackaged to get to the .tar files. Pay attention as Winrar will see .tar as a .zip too. (read the file extensions or you can't select them in Odin.) Stick the 3 files (pit, modem,FmInsSD) into a folder on your desktop. (You no longer use the "Jme-hidden" file shown in the pic.)
Attach your tab to your computer, if you have windows 7 the drivers will be installed for you. If you don't you'll need to get them from here.
http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...G_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.3.350.0.exe
launch Odin v1.7(if you get an error about some missing .dll file then you need to install the Microsoft .Net framework)
It should look like this once configured correctly:
MAKE SURE BEFORE YOU ADD YOUR FILES-THE TAB IS PLUGGED IN-YOU WILL HAVE A YELLOW COM BOX CIRCLED IN THE PIC IF IT IS CORRECTLY CONNECTED AND READY TO FLASH.
ALSO YOU MUST HAVE A BIG TRANGLE ON YOUR TAB WITH A DIGGING ANDROID (to do this power up the tab while holding down the down volume button)
Looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
LOAD THE FILES AS SHOWN IN THE PIC THEY ARE CIRCLED IN RED
MAKE SURE REPARTITION IS CHECKED THE OTHER BOXES ARE CHECKED BY DEFAULT-LEAVE THEM HOW THEY ARE.
ONLY IF YOU HAVE EVERYTHING DONE. (DOUBLE CHECK)
HIT START
Do not touch anything or use your computer it takes about 5 mins to reboot your tab to the kies sync screen.
your done enjoy!
HIT ME SOME THANKS IF THIS WORKED FOR YOU.
Nice work.
You might want to specify that this is for gsm only as many may not be aware.
I on sprint so I guess I have to wait but it's good too see this kind of work being put out there.
Thanks

Where did you get the jme-hidden.tar? I found the hidden.pit from your link but no hidden.tar.
Oh...and what is the difference between v1 and v2?
Hi Guys,
I'm from austria and have only one question: since i have flashed my tab to jm6 and higher, the bootloader is protected and it's not possible to go back to stock (in my case: hutchinson 3g austria).
now i have flashed to roto's jme, it work very fine! but he's writing, that's possible to go back to t-mobile stock (usa), no matter the bootloader was signed (protected) before flashing or not.
is there also a way to go back to others stock arround the world??? or is it only possible for t-mobile usa-users? thanks a lot!

I doubt it. You either flash custom firmware and enjoy it, or sit in front of your computer hoping/waiting for Kies to update you
I think XDA has provided way more updates than Kies so far.
sorry, i am not able to find the CMC file, where can i download it ?

+1 to Roto's answer. Kies reads your firmware version when you connect the Tab and will only offer you an update if it recognises that there is an upgrade available for the firmware it sees on your Tab. This generally means that if you have flashed pre-release firmware which has development / test codes it won't offer you any of the official production upgrades (or any upgrades usually!). It is possible to fake your Tab's signature in Kies to make it flash official releases over dev/test firmware, do a search on the Samsung Galaxy S forums for how to do this.
Don't think so. So far kies have give me 2 updates. It work amazingly. Now is smother. Just my opinion.

[Oppo Finder x907] Looking for Root/CWM/ROM

Hello,
just bought this fantastic phone in China. The question is to know if some non chinese ROM exists in order to use full google applications or is there any possibility to install google applications ?
I can have access to the Recovery but full chinese => Is there any chance to move to english ?
I think this smartphone is fantastic and need a English forum (most of the informations are in chinese) in order to fully use it.
BR
Any Chinese language schools near you?
Not really but perhaps I should spend more time to learn chinese
One of my interest would be that a MiUI ROM (English) could be delivered. It seems one already works in chinese...but not official.
I bought this phone too, you can download with your pc the Google Play APK, put on the phone the apk file, and install it with the explorer included into the original rom. With google play, you can dowload all the google application you need.

Ok, thanks for your answer. i'm going to try. I do not need any root or something else ?
It seems that also somebody was able to install MiUI...hopr it will be possible in the near future from MIUI website.
No, no need to be root =)
If you want to root your phone, I can post the method here.
I hope that a MiUI ROM will be available for this phone =)
I'm toying with the idea buying this phone or the Oppo Find 5 when it comes out. Being able to mod the OS for english is my primary concern before purchasing.
I was even thinking of buy the Goophone. It would be awesome just irritate Iphone fanboys. The price for the Goophone is pretty cheap but the specs are a little lacking and not quite sure if the frequencies are right for ATT either.
Hi all!
I have this phone about 3 weeks. I know how to do ROOT, and i have CWMRecovery.
And I have 4 most popular in China and stable nonofficial ROM with root.(EN supported)
If you need, i can post it to.
It will be great for us if you post all these unofficial ROM please =)
Is there french language by chance ?
Can you explain how did you change the Recovery menu too please

Rooting Instructions + CWM (Chinese Only though)
Hey guys, I kinda unlocked it already and would like to share the procedure:
0. Download the following files:
driver_2012-01-31.rar - X907 Windows Drivers
anzhi-recovery-x907-cn-mod.7z - Root + CWM
Finder+Root.zip - Superuser/Busybox/etc
***Upload Finder+Root.zip first into your X907***
1. Power off the X907 by pressing the power button for more than 7 seconds (screen blanks off)
2. Go to fastboot mode by holding the upper volume button (+) and plug in any microUSB cable (plugged in to your PC of course). The X907 should stay in the "Find" boot screen. That should signal the fastboot mode and the phone then should be detected by the PC.
3. Use the driver_2012-01-31.rar file above to install drivers under Windows Device Manager
4. Once detected/identified properly, run rootx907.bat from the anzhi-recovery-x907-cn-mod.7z file.
5. Restart into Recovery Mode by first unplugging the microUSB cable then turning the device off (just press the power button for a few seconds until screen turns off) then press volume down (-) and power button together until the device vibrates, then let go of both buttons. Initially the screen should stay blank then it goes into CHINESE CWM
6. Now the confusing part - the CWM I found is only in Chinese so please bear with me. I've attached a photo of the CWM and the English counterpart of the choices. Select the SECOND option by navigating using the volume down (-) button then pressing the power button. Then press the power button again for the FIRST option to select a zip file from your SD card, then locate the Finder+Root.zip file and press the power button again.

...etc
Helping is easier when we know what have you done to your phone. Hope everyone gets your problem(s) fixed.

I just installed v9 last night, I can say everything works nicely (never used stock browser, always disabled it from the get go, so I don't know if it FC).
Can we install v10 over v9 or do I need to wipe? Because if I need to wipe, I'm not really interested.
Make nandroid backup and try. It should work since nothing is really major.

You can do this, with a root explorer:
go to system/usr/keylayout/generic.kl in "key 217" change the value from POWER to SEARCH.
Key 217 is the search button.
can someone please upload the latest version to Dev-Host or some other site i can't download from yandex or the link posted by @skyseel

SM-T817A | AT&T Variant | Update | Stock Firmware Nougat 7.0 | May 1, 2017 Patch

So, here I am, a junior member of XDA that tries to make his first article (it indirectly means he can't make this article in the Android Development section since is still a junior one)
I just bought this tablet a week ago and I found out that the android it came with was so old (Lollipop 5.1.1), so I searched through any android forums that I know in order to update this tablet to its latest firmware (Nougat 7.0), but I could not find one, even after I searched it in XDA, which in my opinion is the most comprehensive and reliable website to look for anything regarding Android. Not only that, but I also saw in some threads that there were people like me who had this tablet, but they still stuck with the old stock firmware.
So, without any further ado, let's do it!
SO FAR, I CAN ONLY CONFIRM THAT THIS CAN (ONLY) WORK WITH T817A VARIANT
First of all, make sure to BACKUP ALL OF YOUR DATA because the method of the update WILL DELETE ALL OF YOUR DATA
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY KIND OF THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO YOUR DEVICE
PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK
First, let's download the Odin software
https://odindownload.com/download/Odin3_v3.13.1.zip
Second, download the AP, CP, CSC, and BL firmware of the T817A which are available on this website.
https://combinefile.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=folder&id=9448 (THIS LINK IS ALREADY INACTIVE)
Please download the four required files above through my Google Drive (please feel free to share them with anyone!)
Samsung SM-T817A | Nougat 7.0 | May 1, 2017 Patch | AP, CP, BL, and CSC files - Google Drive
drive.google.com
Third, extract all of those in one folder
Fourth, open the Odin
Fifth, put your T817A in Odin download mode (here's how to do it, first of all, turn off your tab, then push the home, power, and volume down button at the same time)
Sixth, connect your tab with your computer (make sure you are using CAPABLE AND RELIABLE MicroUSB) and ensure it is detected by the Odin software afterward
Seventh, click the AP button in the Odin software and choose the extracted AP firmware (the same goes with the CP, CSC, and BL)
Eighth, click start, now your tab is downloading the software (DON'T UNPLUG THE CABLE, OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE A BOOTLOOP)
Ninth, now the tablet will restart, and voila, congratulations! You just updated it to Nougat 7.0!
IF ANYONE HAS ADVICE OR ISSUE REGARDING THIS ARTICLE, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO TELL ME
Hit that thanks button if this article helped you!
I know this thread is old, but I'm looking for a stock Nougat 7.0 for galaxy tab s2 SM-T817A. I've looked through the tab S2 forums and couldn't find anything except for this post, only problem is one of the file downloads is broke. The AP file only gets to 1gb and fails, it's a 1.5gb file. I've searched the internet for days and can't find anything for T817A. Can anyone point me in the right direction please.
I am also looking for this rom.

Hey mate, sorry for the really late reply, i have been inactive at XDA lately, i have tried the link and it still works, my suggestion is please check your internet connection and storage, and then try it again. If it still doesn't work, i will happily upload the AP file in Google Drive for you!

Galaxy a40 Android 10 downgrade to 9

hello everyone here.
its posible to downgrade galaxy a40
FROM 10 to 9 pie?
thanks
i have try with ODIN but no lucky
says FAIL/
You need Odin , the multipart ROM and the PIT file for Android 9.
I've tried to rollback to 9 with odin and suceeded. I used frija to get android 9 rom for my CSC, and it normally downgraded it, without issues.
Can I downgrade knox from android 10 to 9 without triggering it? and when I downgrade it, can I replace the csc with a csc that supports call log? Thanks. (Google translate used)
does this work
is it possible to downgrade?

Hi,
I have tried for 2 days to get my Galaxy A40 ( A405FN ) from 10 to 9.
I used Odin 1.14.4 and SAMSUNG USB Driver v1.7.23.
I'm trying to flash this rom here (XEF) A405FNXXU1ASC3 from March 2019, 9/Pie. I got it from samfrew.com
I have tried recovery mode, to apply update from SD card, but I got a
E: Footer is wrong, Signature berification failed.
I have tried to upload only the AP file, I got an error after the recovery.img file
calinorg, can you be a little bit more specific about your environment?
Thank you so much for helping
It was couple of months ago, I don't really remember the versions of files back then... But I've read on telegram groups that September 2020 update disables downgrading. I've since returned that phone and got another a40 that I haven't tried to downgrade (beauty of having a workplace provided phone - you trip knox and complain phone doesn't work, and get another one )
lebigmac said:
Hi. Where can I find the PIT file?
And by multipart ROM you mean the firmware zip file downloaded from one of those samfirm websites right?
And how does one downgrade from Android 10 to Android 9 once all those required files are acquired? Can you please give a step by step tutorial? Thanks!

Did you manage to do it? Could you expand a little?
Did you use
multidisabler
Disable_Dm-Verity
GSI_MTP_Enabler
How can we remove that check on the flash rom?
Thank for you help
working .... finally
this is the way i did it.
I found out about the BIT version of the ROM in that post,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...FZ4MZ5_zT3cBAKVUg5jbgGftA-d5J-3AbpA&nocache=1
So my original rom is 3BIT
A405FNXXU3BTD4 XEF 2020 05 13 BIT 3 V10 Q original phone
_________^
And I have downloaded a few V9, one was BIT 3 Too.
A405FNXXU3ATA4 XEF 2020 01 15 BIT 3 V 9 Pie
_________^
The earliest verson i had, that I was always trying was BIT 1
A405FNXXU1ASC3 XEF 2019 03 07 BIT 1 V 9 Pie
_________^
So The bit version of the ROM you want to flash must be equal or above your actual bit version in my case 3
So, i was doing some reasearch on BIT version, I found this post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572
and in that post there is a version of a 3B, of Odin. Odin V3.13.1_3B .. so i may as well try it.
And it worked... miracle Android version 9!!
I have changes to so many variable... magisk installed, twrp installed, multidisabler
I don't know if those had an influence
Dont hesitate to correct my misunderstandings....

Also worked for me downgrading from A405FNXXS3BTI3 to A405FNXXU3ATA4 - your tip on the bitcodes and patched version of Odin got me pointed in the right direction.
I didn't have Magisk, TWRP or Multidisabler installed, nothing - I was on stock 10 FW (UK, EE) and needed to get back to 9.
Lets try to get to 8 !!
Do you remember the time when getting the last android was so geekely cool. Today we just wonder what other freedom are they going to take away from us.
I'm using Call Recorder Pro that wont work on 10, at all. On 9 its working but it wont associate the number and the recording. So on the recording you just have the time stamp.
Now, on 8 (my huawai P10Lite), it records and put the contact name or number in the filename..... which is awesome.
That thing is so useful, remembering things, share conversations, work on communication strategy, sales, job search, and I have no memory...
So, I'm thinking.... lets go 8 on the A40 ... )
I am very happy that I was able to downgrade to android 9.
Android 10 is a joke. In android 10 you can't even mount system as read/write even with root! This is a new 'security feature' of android 10 called shared_blocks
Nevermind. There actually is a solution to the read only filesystem problem in Android 10 and newer.
See solution below:
Works like a charm in Android 10 and later (on my new Xiaomi device). Now my system, vendor and product partitions are read-write!
Use at your own risk!
note: I have not tested this on Samsung devices yet!

There's no android 8 for Samsung A40, and if you want native call recording you need root for that, no other way.
