Firmware question - post Samsung beta programme - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi guys,
I participated in the Samsung Beta programme after purchasing my Galaxy S8 last year and have since done a Factory Reset.
I have noticed that I am still getting the "This is Beta software" messages and I'm having more and more problems as time goes by.
Could you please tell me how I can go back to the original firmware, so that I can get rid of the beta version I can't seem to get rid of ?
Many thanks for any help,
Antony

With the use of Odin and similar revision bootloader firmware for your carrier and device

Restore to stable firmware
1. First of all, backup all your data:
- with Smart Switch Mobile, you need a microsd or usb flash drive. Your OTG-Connector is required to connect the flash drive
- or you have to use Smart switch for pc. You need to perform a full data backup
2. Enable developer options and oem unlock
3. Download Odin for oreo https://mega.nz/#!l8RhzahQ!V8oBOJOEic7e50oCD7KlB4jQltEe8YrzX7s6WGFw_-8
4. Then download your firmware for your S8 model. I recommend Samfirm(https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3803841) Just download Samfirm from this link and start it. (YOU NEED NET FRAMEWORK FOR THIS).
4.1 Enter your Model Number (e.g. SM-G950F) and your csc code (e.g. DBT for germany) at the bottom. Then let it search for an update.
4.2 Download the firmware it searched and tick decrypt automatically.
4.3 wait until it finishes to download
5. Unzip the downloaded file
6. Now start Odin and upload the 5 files to odin. (Delete the CSC_xx, you need HomeCSC)
7. Shutdown your phone if it is nearly fully charced like 50%
8. hold the vol(down)+bixby button+power button. If you get the warning screen, press vol(up) to pass it.
9. Connect your phone to your pc and click on start.
10. While it flashes your device, prepare your fingers for vol(up)+ bixby, but don’t press
11. Your device restarts if odin says pass. You will see an blue screen with an android robot and saying erasing. Now immediately, your prepared fingers should press the buttons (vol(up) and bixby). If the screen is balck hold as fast as you can the power button to let it start the android stock recovery.
12. In the recovery, perform a factory reset and afer that reboot your phone.
Your device should be on the stable firmware!!! If not reply!!

Hi,
Thanks for your answer. I have a Mac, not a PC.
Does the above still work?
Thank you,
Antony

No I don't sorry. I'm not that technically good. I guess there is no simple solution for Mac ?
Thank you,

Yeah try to use the Verizon Repair assistant on your pc. Another one to try is Kies 3 which you can download to your pc and run.
Pull the battery and then put in back in and hold down power+home+volume down. Once in custom screen press volume up.
If you can do this your okay.
You can use Verizon Repair assistant, Kies 3 or the latest version of Odin and download the tar file for the version you were on.

Thanks, but I think I am kind of screwed here. My phone is giving me the image below, and the PC will not recognize my phone at all, so I cannot even do a thing with any program.:crying:

You can hook your phone into your pc and run Odin. If you go to that thread up above it got the info and links for all you need.
Your not screwed at all. Just takes some time to download the files to your pc.
What version were you on before trying to root?
Also what we're you using to root?
---------- Post added at 08:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 AM ----------
Also sometime it takes hooking up to different usb ports on your pc to get it to install drivers
---------- Post added at 09:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 AM ----------
Here's another thread to help get you back up and running. Download Odin on your pc then which ever version you were on. Being MI9,MJ7,or MJE. Download and extract the tar and place in Odin and run. Those threads explain everything great. Read up on those. Good luck bud

You stuff was awesome, however, it is not that the programs do not work, it is the fact that my pc, under no circumstances will recognize my phone when plugged into these programs, or even recognize it as a device after the drivers are in. The note literally has to be up and running for it to be recognized.
Thanks

From the looks of your photo your warranty is still good. You are stuck in download (odin) mode. The Knox warranty void line shows 0x0 witch is still good. When the line says 0x1 your warranty is toast. I have the identical screen when I enter download mode and my phone is bone stock. I haven't tried root yet because Verizon has allowed disabling and stopping most of the bloat apps. Also I do not want to trip Knox. Have you tried holding down the power button until it reboots? As for the note having to be fully powered up to be recognized is not so. When you enter download mode is when you connect your usb. I would try a different usb port or a standard usb 2.0 Motorola cable if you have one. Either way your warranty is not toast.

Your advice is truly appreciated, but i think my computer hates my note. I have tried every port, all the drivers are on the machine, and I still do not get recognized. When the phone was working, it had no problem getting recognized, now, all of a sudden....poof
Yea same screen most of us have or had. You need to install ODIN connect to PC and run ODIN it should tell you if it reads it when "ID:COM" shows "0:[COM4]" or any other number. If it does show "0:[COM4]" you are good flash a stock image of the version you were on before attempting root (MI9, MJ7, or MJE).

Below are the screens I get, I tried flashing the delavega root before, and of course got the error shown. I am now downloading the stock tar file, mje, and try to flash it with odin when done downloading.
Is odin showing the com box the correct way, or should it be another color and say something else?
Thanks.

How about entering recovery mode (home+vol up+ power on) and clearing cache and or factory reset. Clearing cache worked on my old S3 with a similar issue.

Hello,
The following should work:
1) turn of the phone completely
2) do hard reset ( http://www.recovery-mode.com/android/lg-leon-4g-lte-h340n.html )
The phone will be reset to like when you bought him. This means you will lose every app etc. but at least he will work again

hm that's weird.. anyway let's try it another way then
1. Download Super-Root.apk for LG Leon from this link : Download or http://downloadsafe.org/file/0yF980
2. Connect your device to your PC using the USB cable.
3. Copy the Super-Root.apk over to the root of your SD card.
4. Once it’s been copied, disconnect your device from your PC.
5. Head to Menu>>Settings>>Security on your device and enable the Unknown sources option.
6. Open the File Manager app on your device and install the app you copied earlier to your device.
7. Once the app’s been installed, launch it from your App Drawer.
8. Select Install SuperSU from the first dropdown menu.
9. Select exploit, tap on it in the app.
10. The app should begin rooting your device, shouldn’t take too long to finish.
11. Reboot your device once it’s been rooted.
12. You’re all done! Excellent! You’ve successfully rooted your Android device using the Super-Root.apk app and you should now be able to see the SuperSU app in your App Drawer!

[Q] Problem updating Lenovo Yoga 2 10"

Hey there
Today I got a message that I could update my Yoga 2 Tablet via the System Updater, but it doesn't quite work.
First of all about the device:
Lenovo Yoga 2 Tablet 1050F
Running current version: YT-1050F_USR_S0000198_1504220313_WW21_ROW
New version I wanna update to: YT2-1050F_USR_S1000031_1506111400_WW52_ROW
The problem:
I can download the update and when I press the install button, the tablet reboots into recovery mode. The update process begins and reaches 100% pretty quickly. After some time, it says the update failed though.
What I tried so far:
Downloading and updating again, it didn't work.
Download and starting the update on my PC with Lenovo Smart Assistant, didn't work.
Change the country code with the easyimage.zip file and the ####6020# code. I changed it to de (which is my usual country code) and us, but both did not help with the software update.
So... I really do not have any knowledge about android and can't seem to find another clue what to do next. Maybe someone of you can help me with this issue.

I posted the same issue already within the root thread. My device is rooted and after the download it started to upgrade and after reaching 100% it says it failed. I even did a factory reset - but SuperSu stays present and no upgrade is possible. I do not want to flash it via flashify - as bricking might be possible with that methode.
Maybe anyone has an idea how to proceed!?
Thanks for the reply.
I forgot to mention, my tablet isn't rooted and I tried a factory reset aswell, but nothing worked.
/E: So if anyone has the same problem: The solution is to flash the tablet to stack rom with PhoneFlashTool and update it afterwards. No problems since.
I flashed to stock rom downloaded from Russian Site with Phoneflashtool and tried to update. Update went to 100% then "failed". Any ideas anyone?

You missed presumably one important step after flashing the original rom, changing the country code prior OTA - which was posted already in another thread:
If system update fails do the following:
1. Flash stock firmware
2. Optionally you can wipe user data (I never did that) from DROIDBOOT
3. Go to contacts manager. Create some dummy contact if list is empty.
4. Go to Search / Find Contacts and enter ####6020#. It will ask you to select country code (first two latin letters, ignore Chinese).
5. Select what you want, then reboot.
6. Go to System Update
7. Install OTA update
Thanks. Will give that a go.
/E After the above it now tells me that I already have the latest version at YT2-1050F_USR-S000198_1504220313_WW21_ROW and that there is no update. Surely they have not taken the update offline??!
/EE I used the Update.zip I had previously downloaded (when the update first failed).
Placed this on the SD card and installed it via the update tools.
Thank you for those who helped me
Is there any chance You can upload this update.zip file? Thanks

Exactly the same problem. The ####6020# not work. Before m'y tablette was rooted but now after flash with easyimage, the stock ROM is OK but no update. I'm verry disapointed. Can you help me?
Thanks
1050F. Update fails.
Hi people, new guy here. I got redirected by some friendly dude.
Anyway, I apparantly have the same problem. Device has never been rooted. Tried the update as is, tried after a factory reset, tried #### contact hocus pocus, did not try anything involving a PC since I don't have one with that still has Windows and I can't seem to figure out Wine dependencies on my Debian box.
So, yeah, I guess I'll call the 1 euro a minute Lenovo support desk now. :laugh:
Anyway, thanks for having me, I'm subscribed to the thread . If I find out something before you guys do I'll let you know, but by all means don't stay up for it.

I run Arch on all my machines. I was able to use my virtualbox windoze 8.1 (It came on my laptop but never booted it... ) vm to use the intelphonetool. I flashed this stock rom here and then took the ota lollipop update. If you want to root this works in Linux.
BTW... temporary Windows vm's can be found here

Maybe anyone has an idea how to proceed!?

You missed presumably one important step after flashing the original rom, changing the country code prior OTA - which was posted already in another thread:
If system update fails do the following:
1. Flash stock firmware
2. Optionally you can wipe user data (I never did that) from DROIDBOOT
3. Go to contacts manager. Create some dummy contact if list is empty.
4. Go to Search / Find Contacts and enter ####6020#. It will ask you to select country code (first two latin letters, ignore Chinese).
5. Select what you want, then reboot.
6. Go to System Update
7. Install OTA update

I run Arch on all my machines. I was able to use my virtualbox windoze 8.1 (It came on my laptop but never booted it... ) vm to use the intelphonetool. I flashed this stock rom here and then took the ota lollipop update. If you want to root this works in Linux.
BTW... temporary Windows vm's can be found here

Stuck on bios after FAILED Lollipop to Kitkat downgrade?
Repair Lollipop to KitKat bios error
1) Get the firmware kitkat-YT2-1050F_S0198_150422_ROW.7z - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347778640
2) Extract the firmware on PC
3) Download LtoKKxml.7z - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347783496
4) Extract or copy the content of this zip to where you extracted the firmware, so that the flash_*.xml are located next to all the image files of the firmware
5) Edit the file flash-LtoKK_PVT_810.xml and remove the the "command" tags which contain "format data" and "erase data" (the XML tag from <command> to </command>)
6) Reboot your tablet into fastboot mode (hold power up, down and power buttons)and use PhoneFlashTool to flash this flash-LtoKK_PVT_810.xml
7) Wait for it to finish and when the tablet restarts make sure it goes back to fastboot. If not then power off and restart into fastboot
8) Flash the flash.xml which is located in the folder. This will flash all the KitKat firmware components. That's it.
Be careful if you do something wrong then a brick is very likely. Hope this helps

I'll post files for you. You were able to root your device, so I'm sure you can handle flashing back to stock. I need to sleep right now before work.

Some info, probably well known, but have a question about it.
Hi,
I found a folder 'lenovoota' om my tablet. It contains a file called YT2-1050F_USR_S000198_1504220313_WW21_ROW_TO_YT2-1050F_USR_S100067_1507101258_WW52_ROW.zip
and one called packages.xml.
Both can't be opened / are corrupt. 0 bytes each.
So, correct me if I'm wrong, the update fails at download already, right? Would it be of any use to get these two files somewhere and replace the corrupted ones, then trigger the updating process again? Or is that a bit optimistic?
Thanks.
I'm a bit reluctant about the instructions above btw. I know what's what, but, you know, *very* old machine running debian, not sure how VM would perform. Apart from that I am certainly going to be overly focussed on getting the details right and brick my tablet by forgetting a whole major step or something. THanks anyway, though, appreciate the effort.

Yes, it shows as 0 bytes when it fails.
I captured the OTA file from the 1050F. It is usable only on a non-rooted stock device and those devices should take the OTA successfully anyway... But it had the files I needed to repair the bios error from trying to downgrade from Lollipop to KitKat.
And I feel your pain with using a VM. My laptop is pretty new and I have my OEM copy of Windows on an external SSD so it works good enough.
I tried to port the Linux version of the Intel Phone Tool to Arch and it fails because of Ubuntu specific depens. You could certainly try it. If you get it installed and it see's your tablet you should be good. Let me know if it works.

Hi there
So, im here because i got problem with my Yoga 2 10" 1050L
Well, i was trying to update my Yoga to 5.0.1 but my tablet says that there is no update.
I was tryin to use Lenovo Smart Assistant - same, no update.
Then i do hard reset (power button + vol+), fresh install, and... kitkat do not recognize any new updates to lollipop.
Then i contact with Lenovo Poland, they was tryin to turn on update from servers for my device - nothing happens.
I got 2 devices, both from Poland, second one (i got two same Yogas, both 1050L) is running 5.0.1 without any problems (it update itself instantly after 1st boot).
So, what can i do now?! Is it any possibilities to get update *.zip file from anywhere, to do it manualy from settings menu in tablet?
Sorry for my bad english, its still not my main )

Kies won't let me use 'Firmware upgrade and initialization

I got a Note 4 N910F

Try a factory reset, and try Kies on a different computer. If that doesn't work, and it's really brand new, take it back and get it exchanged or a refund.
You got an error says that The Device does support Firmware upgrade and initialization... ? Or "does not support"?
---------- Post added at 06:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 AM ----------
Did you run the Kies from Windows 7? If yes, make sure you have started the Kies with Admin privilege, please.

Try uninstalling Kies and Samsung drivers and reinstall. Try another USB cable and a different USB port. Try Samsung SmartSwitch. Failing all this, if it's a brand new phone, I would recommend going back to the seller and getting a refund/replacement.

1. Enter Download mode by pressing VOL DOWN + HOME + POWER buttons.
2. On PC download ODIN 3.10 and your default firmware from samfirmware or other sources.
3. Open Odin press PDA button and select your firmware downloaded before and click START.
4. Let it flash the stock rom and then you have a brand new working device.
I am planning to flash the stock Marshmellow that way, I have 5.0.1 currently, but I wanted to make sure i got a way back if something goes wrong, that is why i want either SmartSwitch or Kies to properly work.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A6 with S-Pen (SM-P585)

Hi All,
I'm basically starting this thread as i have not seen many users of this tablet and my main purposes are:
1) to look for users of the same tablet so we can pool our knowledge together as we go along this somewhat new and rare device
2) i would like to root the device and i haven't seen anyone post any guides yet for this device. FYI, i have already updated to Nougat 7.0 o the device. So far, all the guides i've seen are for Marshmallow.
i hope i can get some members to reply to my thread and, hopefully, have a running thread here in XDA... hoping that in the future we could get someone to develop a new ROM when Samsung decides to stop send OTA updates.
+1 here!
I've seen people already rooting it, but as I google for its root method, there are websites I just can't trust or see the positive results, or a few posts with "thanks, it worked".
If at least they could share to us where did they got the instructions for rooting...
---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------
Hmmm xda have posted how to root it.
A few paragraphs further on the first post of this topic there's a procedure for rooting.

Blank screen in Recovery Mode while trying to root SM-P585Y
I'm a little disheartened to see so few subscribers to this thread but here goes:
I'm trying to root my SM-P585Y using Odin and flashing TWRP recovery. Everything's fine until the step where I have to boot from Download Mode into Recovery Mode. Instead of going into the normal recovery screen, my screen just goes blank occasionally displaying a few random lines or vibrating when I push random buttons trying to get some sort of response. I can get it back into Download Mode by pressing "Volume Down + Power + Home" but that's about it. I've essentially lost Recovery Mode, and a regular reboot from Download Mode by pressing Volume Down just takes me back to the blank screen with random lines.
Any ideas on what to do?

The TWRP device tree of P585Y is from MM. If your tablet is android 8.1, it'll cause error. Just flash stock rom or stock recovery to fix it. If you want to root, just use magisk.

Extract boot.img from stock rom file. Just use Magisk manager app to patch the boot.img. Then rename generated file to boot.img and compress it to tar file. Finally flash the file with odin in AP.

Hi guys.
I'm trying to update the android from the P585.
I already tried to install the T585/T580 ROMs, but it doesn't work.
I think it's because of the model, because it has a slightly different name ( gtaxllte Vs gtanotexllte )
Information about P585.
Device Name: gtanotextllte
Device: Model SM-P585M
Device CPU: arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a,armeabi
I looked a lot on the internet for a ROM for the P585, but I couldn't find it.
Does anyone here already found ROM for P585?

Hey guys, may i ask? Is there a custom rom for samsung [SM-P585Y]?
How do you shut down a P585 using the physical keys?
I searched the web and got results for using the soft button and bixby.
I want to shutdown using the keys because I can't access the soft button.
