HWC2 - Mar 2023 | GALAXY S10+ | Official Firmware (SM-G975F) | 24th March 2023

[Deleted member 8730448]

/!\ PLEASE HELP /!\

I got an SM-G975F DS and i am unable to boot into download mode . . . and it also looks like the recovery are still missing or corrupt ... every time i use the "buttons" to boot into recovery or download mode i will only get an chinese menu with eight lines and the fift line is usable to erase the entire emmc like an firmware reset it will do

also the informations about the phone in settings menu are strange - the serial number seems like to be 0123456789ABCDEF !?!?!

usb debugging, unlocking bootloader and so on worked without any problem, even adb and fastboot still work for me and also my laptop seems to be able to find the entire memory over mtp (emmc & sd-card) ... only odin and samsung kies are not able to find the phone ...

any solutions how i can boot into odin mode ...

thanks and greets M4RCJO

Because you have a "MTK clone" of an S10+ China version:

So no comments on Android 11 and One UI 3.0?!

Updated yesterday and I am not sure if I'm dreaming but it seems to be a tiny bit more slugish than before, moving between screens, menues, etc.

agree latest 2.5 was smoother, did you flashed with Home_CSC or just CSC?
i used Home_CSC

I downloaded and installed OTA, I am on CSC TPA and it was one of the first to get OTA update.

Thanks, so you are on home_csc as well

Did you guys encounter any bugs? I want to flash but still not sure if to wait for official update for my region (BTU) ?

later edit: updated, works just fine, no slugish

I want to do flashing with odin, but does home_csc keep my apps and data(like login, linked authenticator, literally appdata) because we don't have option to do offline OTA or recovery mode OTA with firmware download?
Noted I'm on device with XXV csc and flashing AUT firmware of OneUI 3.0

i used Home_CSC

May I ask, does flashing cross CSC with HOME_CSC keep your app data like login, authenticator data(Microsoft Authenticator with passwordless 2FA-protected accounts), secure folder data(like default data) ?

Flashing using home csc will retain all data just like an OTA update. Regular csc will do a full wipe same as factory reset.

It's on

Do not update to Android 11 yet because is very buggy, my girlfriend updated her S10 lite and is a disaster, bugs everywhere, now I have to downgrade that crap update.

Too late... I didn't see your post, and updated. Damn....

Didn't run into any bugs other than I think it's a little sluggish, compared to the previous one.
One thing that may be a 'bug' for me is that I have custom ringtone for a few contacts and when they call the standard ringtone rings. Not sure if it is related to Android 11 and/or One UI 3.0

Custom ringtones work fine for me. Sometimes my phone is sluggish, but overall it seems actually a bit faster. Fingerprint sensor is sluggish, but it works for all set fingers

 

[sbi1]

Something else I noticed is the screen seems to be less accurate. I have a lock pattern and more often than not my finger goes through the wrong pattern, something that didn't happen before.

Downloading but inevitably you have to update. You will not be able to install 3.0 newer version if you are on 2.5. Example lets say 3.0.1 will not be able to be installed without 3.0

Why doesn't anyone share information about Android 11 on this subject? this is the official stock rom page but A11 installation and issues are being discussed on Beta. Please upload friends share some information. Is there a problem or not, I would like to know. thanks everyone.

Sluggish, overheating, battery life a disaster, bluetooth connection issues, opening pictures from SD card takes forever... The only plus for me i fingerprint sensor. It works for all set fingers now, but it's painfully slow

really? Are you experiencing all this after the second update that came? On the other topic, the opposite is written. I am confused.

Thank you for the information. With the new update, other problems are said to be fixed except for the camera issue. In any case, you'll get updates in a day or two.
