I have been using device for a day now. I rooted one ui 2.5 I have had no reboots. It was the same on 2.1. So it must be something you have installed.

I would start with removing the apps that you believe could be causing the reboots. Or do the root method over without installing any previous apps that you use. Set device up and use it for a few hours and see what happens.

What you are seeing on Sammobile are different regions that are getting updated. Most are 5CTH4. Spain (PHE) was the 1st to get this update several weeks ago. And Sammobile shows what version of Android it will be. I don't believe any 10lite is Android 11. My 10lite is on latest firmware which is Android 10, I patched the boot img and rooted so at least we know the latest version can still be rooted.

I have build TWRP for Note10 lite.

I need someone to test this TWRP first.
Then i will upload it on XDA.

Anyone who is rooted or have unlocked bootloader or willing to test TWRP message me or reply me here.

You can easily come back to orignal samsung recovery if TWRP don't work.
Would have been very polite to ask to post this in my thread. I overlooked it because its not my style to get bent out of shape. But then you contact me about testing, only to tell me testing is closed once I offer to help.

Hi, how do you do to unlock Samsung themes and make the 2 sims and micro sd work in a ROM, there is a link in xda where I can learn how to unlock Samsung apps and add features to a ROM

Thanks

i followed the tutorial on a spanish N770F, csc code PHY,
but in the last step, when flashing the patched kernel i get in odin
an error, while the fastboot screen tells me
"Only offical released binaries are allowed to be flashed(BOOT)"
did i miss anything? i updated to phone the latest android version
and downloaded the latest version with frija
AP_N770FXXU6CTJ2_CL19538864_QB34914883_REV00_user_low_ship_meta_OS10
kernel version in "software info" is 4.9.191-19538864, so it should fit?
build number is QPA.190711.020.N770FXXU6CTJ2


EDIT:

to fix this problem, the solution is to activate WIFI after unlocking the bootloader,
so it is necessary to check that the developer options displays the option "OEM Unlock"
and it is greyed out. only then it allows for flashing the patched boot.img.

Sometimes once you update firmware with Odin the oem unlock is not present. Just set date 7 days ahead, check for update in settings then reboot Oem will be present

Hi, in case I need to update firmware, how do I do that after rooting?

Edit: Nevermind, I think I know now. Thanks for this thread. My phone is now rooted ?

Can't seem to enter recovery no matter what I do. For a milisecond it flashes the blue screen with the Android mascot then it to a black screen with the options "Reboot system now" "Reboot to bootloader" etc with at the bottom of the screen:

#Reboot Recovery Cause is [BL: Recovery Mode Set by key]#
Supported API: 3

#MANUAL MODE v1.0.0#


I've tried cutting on debugging, I've tried remapping Bixby (I have it shut off by default), what gives? This is my first time trying to update via Odin since I've used the rooting process in the OP (December update popped up on Sammmobile yesterday), so is my recovery now gone?

I rooted my lite about 4 weeks ago. When restarting i get the message about "bootloader unlocked, press power key to go on". But in developer options i suddenly found the oem unlock is not grey. It stands on enabled, but i could switch to unable (didn't do that, won't brick my phone).

Can i now update with patched AP or have i go the complete way again with wiping all data?

I guess unlocking the bootloader will disable automated on-air-updates (always telling you the device is on the latest software version which is evidently wrong) .
So if you want to update you will have to do this with odin.
But keep an eye NOT to flash CSC***.md5 file but ONLY HOME_CSC***.md5 which preserves your apps and data.
So no problem at all, you will only have to check for newer software at the known Firmware-Sites (sammobile etc.), download and flash all files (AP, BL, CP) with Odin (without factory reset) using only HOME_CSC***.md5.

But: if you want to root your device you will have to patch boot.img with Magisk.app and that will lead to a mandatory factory reset with wiping former installed apps and data (because otherwise you will get a neverending bootlop at startup - that's what I've faced).

Damned thing about Note 10 lite is that there is no twrp-recovery available so that you can make a nandroid backup and additionally to make it worse: obviously there is no dev around who is interested in development of Note 10 lite (SM-N770F). Sad.

I don't believe unlocking bootloader affects ota updates. My 20 ultra has unlocked bootloader and it just got ota to Android 11 on At&t.
His question was " Can i now update with patched AP or have i go the complete way again with wiping all data?"

The answer is actually no.

He'll have to use Odin, but if he can't get into recovery like I can't guess he's out of luck.
