thanks for the follow up - I was getting No Mirrors for about 3 hours - finally when I tried again it offered 1 download - thanks for the rom - this is always a great rom to have on file in case something happens - and also as a very good stock rom.

thanks very much

Hello

I think here in this theme are the guys who care about security and privacy.
I like to inform about a general security issue using rooted phones and TWRP :

TWRP password protection is missing - every stupid idiot can easily start recovery in less than 10 seconds and erase all my data or steal my phone and flash another ROM.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77741939&postcount=198

Maybe someone here knows a solution to protect the rooted phone?

Steven
I agree that there SHOULD BE a solution against wiping data by idiots of jokers... but note that same idiot can easily enter STOCK recovery and erase all your data (there is no protection even in case of official, stock firmware).

Also - Download Mode works ALWAYS, no matter if you have USB debugging enabled or not. Let's imagine that somebody created password protected TWRP. Since you allowed to flash custom binaries (by enabling OEM unlock) - workaround for a thief is as simple as flashing another TWRP (without password protection).

The only advantage of having stock firmware is really effective anti-thief protection. FRP protection in fact does not protect your data against idiots of jokers (wiping data), but a thief can't sell your phone without possibility to log in successfully into your Google account (no matter if a thief wiped your data or flashed another stock firmware which wipes data)

In many bussiness cases (sometimes in private life) - data may be more expensive than the device itself - this ROM protects at least your data. Note that your encrypted data are really safe (despite root) if you are using "secure boot" feature. It's due to the fact, that in case of enabling OEM unlock - without enabled "secure boot" feature - ANY flashed custom kernel (also a kernel created especially to steal your data) may get access to encrypted data at post-fs-data boot stage (before you will be asked for credentials like password or fingerprint). Attacker in theory may create a dedicated kernel to copy your data to an external storage or just to wipe only your credentials (and in effect to bypass password/fingerprint protection).

Can't test & confirm if "secure boot" works here (Note 9) but it SHOULD - at least it works in case of my DevBase and encrypted S9+

Thread has been updated, U2ARI9 DevBase v5.9 (September security patches, changelist 14366801) :cool:

As usual - you can dirty flash it over previous DevBase version -> DONE, that's all :good: :cool:

(there is no need to flash anything else - this ROM is all-in-one combo and contains suitable bootloader, modem & vendor partition already)

Download ROM:

SM-N960F/DS:

EDIT: ROM has been removed temporarily. See post #70 for details:

You most probably are trying to restore a ROM based on an old U1xxxx firmware. It will not work! Downgrade is not possible, as I mentioned already in post #38

(side effect or trying to downgrade or restore S1/U1 firmware is lost of IMEI/network)

In case of further problems - just clean install this ROM (or S2/U2 stock ROM) to restore your IMEI/network

Lost SIM card/signal and so on...
I was using the previous version and was very happy with it, now I wanted to update with full wipe and format (I tried a different ROM for an hour before this update) and now my phone is unusable.
Tried to restore EFS backup using the instructions in the #1 post with no success...

Finally file got downloaded.
I downloaded N960FXXU2ARI9_DevBase_v5.9.ZIP
Currently I am on Stock and Magisk Rooted with Aug Security Patch installed. Build Number : ARH5 || Model is N960F
For me the process should be, reboot to TWRP, wipe Data (optional) , flash the rom and reboot
Am I correct ?
