Proximity sensor fixed?

Everything is the same. Nothing improved

 

[azuldio]

Is it possible to revert/downgrade to an previous build or update? As in if I have April patch installed, is it possible to revert and flash back to the March update?

Yes. Just flash normally as you would.

However, data can not be retained when downgrading. You must reset.

A stupid question. When run Odin I see warning message that I must delete Google and Samsung account before flash. I want to flash with home csc, just update not wipe anything.
Must to delete Google and Samsung account ?

No you don't have to delete them.

It's a warning in case you flash with CSC_OXM. Then the phone reboots and triggers FRP, so you'd have to enter Google account details again to get access.

Thank you. :good:

The ASD5 build made the fp unlocking faster it feels.

Will my CSC change if I download and install the AUT but choose HOME_CSC_OXM?

I'm on XTC, and will it wipe data?

If you use HOME_CSC, you'll just upgrade.

CSC won't change and your data won't be erased either.

I have upgraded using HOME_CSC without losing data or apps (only the Vodafone apps) but CSC changes to ATL-->XEF

Has pocket mode been fixed?

I understand but i thought that the emojis would express the true meaning of my post but nonetheless if u find it offensive I'll take it down.

Btw the 18th april update improved the front camera drastically, the intense high exposure has been reduced and the images are more clear.
Was anyone else experiencing the high exposure issue prior to the update?

You weren't supposed to use HOME_CSC on a carrier firmware.

It's only meant to be used on other unbranded firmwares.

 

[kanav1234]

Attached update in India

 

[azuldio]

Yes. Just flash normally as you would.

However, data can not be retained when downgrading. You must reset.

Thanks for the information. Appreciate the help! :good:

 

[ramnkc]

No

That's disappointing, annoying and frustrating

Can you elaborate a bit more on this please ? I've got the same problem when I updated to the March patch and now I am a bit scared of flashing the new firmwares through Odin.

Thanks, It is really helpful to have you in the forum :3

If you're already on an OXM unbranded firmware, you can use HOME_CSC to upgrade to another OXM unbranded firmware.

For example, if you were on ASCA (unbranded), you could use HOME_CSC to flash ASD5 (unbranded).

But if you are on a carrier branded firmware, you can't use HOME_CSC from an unbranded firmware to upgrade. It will cause issues with OTAs, and carrier specific features like VoLTE and WiFi calling.

Ah thanks. I am now PHE/PHE/PHE/ATL. i don't use carrier specific features. Can I safely upgrade through Odin to the April's patch without it changing again to the France version?
