As far as I know with small shops in Hong Kong, they have kits to apply back on the device for waterproofing.
Ok thanks tomorrow first i will go to service center, if they decline then i will think what to do...and about the renovate rom.. I somewhat figured it out but didn't got time to test it because it states to wipe internal storage too.. Is it must to wipe internal storage????

How can we update it? No ota since root.. Should we want for next rom version?
If officially, just flash it in AP, BL and CP from Odin.

If through custom ROM, just update the BL, CP In Odin then flash the custom ROM that comes with that version code. I know BatStock 1.1.1 is already on the firmware, so if you join his Telegram group, you'll get it.

Seems like the build.prop showing SM-G955N is causing a failure on SafetyNet. Please run only SM-G955F identified ROMs if you care about SafetyNet! Magisk Hide will fail.
Thanks for making this thread!

Does this mean that installing BatStock rom will cause SafetyNet fail? Is there any work around or should I use a different rom?

To all 955N peeps, I have created a simple TWRP flashable stock image with removed KNOX of the SM-955F stock Samsung tarballs.

I'll be creating a new thread for this as it will be flashable on different models of the phone, such as the actual 955F and 955N. It will be completely barebones stock, hopefully you guys would find some relief that there will be a debloated version of something you can actually flash on your Korean variant, as each and every Korean stock tarball contains way too much bloat, and Odin will refuse to flash anything 955F on your device... :(

Obviously you can opt for a custom ROM with tweaks like BatStock and RenovateICE, but for people like me who want to stick to stock as much as possible, this zip would be your rescue zip.

The ROM must be flashed in this order,

0) (Optional) Flash the latest AP and CP, I will also mirror these on my AFH.
1) The stock ROM you will download from my thread (~1.8gb)
2) The CSC flasher by @Tkkg1994 (~1.1gb) [No default CSC will be in the ROM!]
3) A custom kernel by @jesec or @Tkkg1994 (~20mb)
4) (Optional) Magisk!

It'll be up in a day or two, depending on my testing tonight :)

Stock ROMs will have NO tweaks on it, I will have a script that will automatically compile the newest Samsung source the exact same day then push it to AndroidFileHost, with all broken KNOX features removed, so we will all have the newest Samsung source the same day, and hopefully, without clean flashing :D

Debloated stuff:

- All KNOX stuff by default
- Samsung Pass
- Samsung Secure

Huge thanks to @jesec for helping me out when I had issues :)

You can't. Unless you install a different camera.

How did you do for S Health ?

Secure folder is so good, bad to loose it ...

@nicholaschum Any idea for having SPay working without a korean sim card ?

Could you do a small list of CSC working for VOLTE, WifiCall ... ^^

Thanks ^^
