[ODIN] J320A/J320AZ/J320AG links

[DamienMc]

I never saw it either... Think someone didn't flash their csc and had quick settings, like the attached screen shot. But there's still no data toggle there, just airplane mode

What do you mean by "didn't flash their csc.."? Can I flash other CSC rather than att's? Do you mean that it is possible to flash cricket's (j320az) or Cspire csc on an Att J320A ?

BTW, I had managed to install Samsung Briefing app on AQA1, but can't on AQG1. Do you know why ? Can I downgrade to AQA1 with odin ?

Thanks,

Att & cricket are 100% interchangable, but you cannot flash AG on either with Odin. (Rooted you can flash the csc with flashfire)

You can downgrade, but you cannot go back to AQA1s sboot or baseband...so only flash AP and CSC if you do

So, to double check, do you mean that I can flash full 4 file cricket(j320az) aqg1 firmware onto att j320a aqg1 (or just the csc) ?

Will it be possible to revert to the old csc (go back from cricket's csc to att's csc, both aqg1) ?
Will I need a PIT ?

Again, Thanks.

Yes you can flash the full 4 files between A and AZ, and revert back if you wish. And you shouldn't need a pit, but if you do they are often included in the csc.tar (not sure about these sorry)
But csc files are mixed in with system files. so if you are going to just change the csc you might want to mix it up, use cricket csc and the other 3 files from att (prolly not necessary, but recommended)
... And they set it up so when you flash csc it wipes your device

 

[Mikizio]

The AQG1 file/archive for J320AZ is broken, odin throws md5 error for all 4 files. Tried to download again, both from Mega and Androidfilehost. BTW, if I'm currently on J320 AQG1, can I flash AZ's AQD2 firmware, as an alternative ?
Thanks @DamienMc

 

[DamienMc]

@Mikizio yeah same deal with the other. You cannot downgrade BL or CS. Only flash AP and CSC...ill fix the tar if possible and reupload it

[EDIT]
Err, wait
Az AQD2 has v3 sboot...flash away, itll flash 100%
[/EDIT]

Thanks, but besides the sboot, does it has the same(not older) modem/CP? If yes, couldn't be it'll consider it as a downgrade and block the flashing? (btw, I checked the file size of the CP both in AQD2 and AQG1, and it's same, so probably the same modem/cs/cp whatever)

 

[DamienMc]

It seems that sboot and modem go hand in hand, the 2AQxx will work together and 3AQxx will (actually 3Axxx but you know what i mean).
Your point about a downgrade is valid tho. I have not noticed a difference in my area between the two, but you can be different i suppose. Who knows.... i imagine newer is better

 

[Mikizio]

Flashed AQD2, and although I'm not Cricket/ATT customer, it offered me an OTA up to AQG1, which I agreed. Works well, much less bloatware than on att's version. Thanks for the advice. Didn't notice any problems, so far.

 

[DamienMc]

Too bad AG wasnt so easy. its even more, less bloated

Img's were good, but the tar wasn't... Tested and working now

Fixed J320AZTUS3AQG1

Used FlashFire to load this file on my ATT J3 and everything went in very smoothly! Only took me since 2am to fix my phone. The issue was i was trying to move some apps to my sd card and link2sd plus failed during a move and locked my phone up tight. Then i had lots of errors afterwards. Did the clean cache and hard reset but didnt correct the issue.

Then i used ODIN after my hard brick and loded the previous version to the above mentioned one and you know what happened next. Lost my IMEI number couldnt see the network at all,etc.

Used Flashfire to load everything even new modem file in protected partition. Then i got unauthorized software found on your device and take to nearest ATT store message.

Didnt panic and then put the phone in to download mode and used it to flash the PG1 boot file and like magic i seen the setup screen....


Thanks a million guys this is the second time this site has saved me from having to buy another phone!!! Great job guys with all your hard work and i appreciate these informative posts dearly!!!!

Enjoy the rest of your holiday!!!!

Thanks again!!!!

Well after my above post it seems my phone (j3) has an FRP lock on it. I tried setting up Android Studio to use adb tools to write that line of code in the post here on this site but you need to enable USB debugging but I can't get in to the developers options because of the FRP lock.

I had to go buy another phone so I can use my Copilot GPS app since I drive truck truck for a living.

If anybody is willing to help me out here I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

I'm having trouble with the J320A APJ2 . It was doing fine even having to flash it after 3 times after an enforced update, however up until recently it now fails in Odin while trying to flash BL. AP CP and CSC do fine, except it wouldn't register my sim card. Flashing BL from APC4 and AQA1 are also "Fail"s . The AQG1 seems to be the only one to be working, but again I do not want this update. The errors I would get on my phone (from Odin Mode) is "SW REV Check Fail Device :3 Binary: 2" ... It seems that I have ruined the BL for any version before the current. Even after un/re installing odin and all other versions. All i'm trying to do is avoid the March Security Update. Is there something I'm missing or am I just stuck with the July update?

 

[DamienMc]

@RuRuGoesRawr after AQG1 you cannot downgrade your modem or sboot. So just skip BL and CP, and flash just AP and CSC

It works!! Wow, you're awesome.

 

[Mr Hassan]

bro after eng root sometime touch not working, for AZ model, in latest version,
is there anyway to after modify rom flash back stock boot ?
or any other way to root WO eng root

 

[DamienMc]

@Mr Hassan
First time i heard about touch issues... Gonna say it's you, either hardware or software. Remove your sdcard and wipe the internal, then see if a fresh Odin install works.
If that still fails, try the other eng_boot... But no, no modifications with stock boot.
BTW sorry for not replying sooner, but nice video
