[CUA3] OFFICIAL STOCK FW-update(Odin) thread (15 Jan 21) GALAXY Note20 Ultra SM-N986B

[Sprokyshark]

Please can you share your debloat list? I'm scared to mistakenly disable something I'm not supposed to. I'm making use of basic google stuff like YouTube & chrome, disabled google app itself (hate assistants) + using samsung tools eg calender, routines, reminders etc.

I dont have the exact list but ive disabled all most samsung apps like all the Dex apps, bixby apps, checkout, pass, game launcher, samsung daily, flipboard briefing, smart switch, smart things, samsung friends, members. google assistant. all the AR apps like ar, doodle ar zone etc, wearable gear stuff.

YOu can also put everything in deep sleep and then slowly remove the apps that you use from that list. As you use them.

Id suggest to use the ADB App control app from XDA.Very easy to disable, enable, uninstall and install with an easy interface and no adb console needed although it does have that too.

dont disable one ui home and dex home. it makes the recents button unresponsive and no recents.

Dex home is OK to debloat, but not one UI home as mentioned, but so far on Android 11 I'm getting great battery life and SoT, see screengrab, I don't have mobile data on often, 90% WiFi, and I don't game etc, but am at 50% battery with 6 hrs SoT, which I never got with this much battery left on Android 10.

In the past days I upgrade manually, via Odin, my Sm-N986B with Slovacchia firmware. Today there's upgrade for Italy.
How to change only csc or upgrade to italian firmware?
I check info software, and it is just ITV.
I don't know how...

Hi. Its been a while since I've fllashed Phones so I have a few questions... My model nummber is SM-N986B/DS and I live in Germany. so its DBT unlocked version.. So can I "dirty" flash, without losing data or do I have to wipe everything? And which Firmware should I download?
Thanks!

Yes you can flash any firmware for the N986B regardless of region, just use HOME_CSC to keep data

 

[dakitz]

Thank you.. But OTA updates will remain available in future, or do I have to do everything manually from now on?

You'll get OTA fine if you are flashing DBT onto a DBT device, the only time you might need to flash manually again is if you flash a different region CSC that your device would not have received OTA, then you'd have to flash your own CSC firmware again, but in most cases they are identical and OTA works fine

Thank you! There is no DBT for Android 11 yet, so I will just have to wait then till official roll-out...

Ah ok , sorry my Note 10 + has different like I mentioned, so I thought it was like that. I probably just saw what I wanted to see.

Thank you. Flashed BTU this morning, it remained actually DBT.. Hopefully future updates will be available OTA... All works well.. Thanks again!

No: your device has Multi-CSC OWO, while the firmware discussed here has Multi-CSC OXM

You'll have to wait till Android 11 is released for your Multi-CSC
