How to root Samsung Galaxy X Cover 4s Enterprise Edition (SM-G398F) - General Questions and Answers

Hey there,
is there a way to root a Samsung Galaxy X Cover 4s (SM-G398F)?
The phone is from June 2019 and runs Android 9.0.
I haven't found anything on the forum.
Here's a link to the Samsung website:
https://www.samsung.com/de/smartphones/galaxy-xcover-4s-g398-enterprise-edition/SM-G398FZKDE28/
Thanks in advance,
Paddy

I'm wondering the same thing. I tried to follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/root-recovery-root-device-magisk-t3779454
but my phone is not recognized by odin or fastboot, so I can't flash the patched boot image.

I have also recently acquired a Samsung SM-G398F.
Need root for an FM Radio app.
Doesn't seem to have one by default (have opened a ticket with Samsung support, the Exynos 7885 should support one).
Otherwise a really perfect machine.
dual sim, and a microSD slot.
Fast charging, contrary to whats on sammobile.
Will help if asked.
edit : I would have the French version :
SM-G398FZKDXEF
https://www.samsung.com/fr/business/smartphones/galaxy-xcover-4s-g398/sm-g398fzkdxef/
Not sure if there would be any difference.

Just got off the Phone with Samsung Support.
Basically "Demand has greatly reduced for this product (FM Radio) so we are not proposing it anymore."
I didn't stay on the phone for long because it was someone with a very strong Asian accent, and i couldn't understand her very well, and she sure couldn't understand me properly, so I gave up even asking anything.
They just said to download an app from the App store....
They DID propose to use an older Samsung phone, seeing as their older phones have FM functional
Really need root now, or i'll be carrying my old phone around with me everywhere just for the radio...(and I hope it will actually work after all this).

OK, so, no stock images seem to be available yet, or anything else for that matter.
i'm just trying to get a stock backup image made, so if anything goes wrong, I can flash back.
Just in case anyone is interested, this is the info from the Recovery Mode :
Samsung/xcoverseea/xcover4s
9/PPR1.180610.011/G398FNXXU1ASF5
I have done this before, but only when Roms were available.
Is it possible to flash TWRP or CWM without having rooted the phone yet ? (It would seem its possible with ADB mode).
Is there a generic TWRP/CWM that i can flash, or do I have to have a specific custom version of TWRP/CWM ?
Cheers

Weird. I bought my Xcover 4S in Sweden, and it has a working FM radio. I would have expected EU phones to be identical apart from the language preset.

Hi, did you have the FM Radio app installed by default, or did you have to add it ?
I don't have the FM App installed at all, and when I install NextRadio, it says it can't find it.

It was already installed. Looks like it is neither part of the Play Store nor the Galaxy Store, but going by the name and icon it seems to be this one... argh, I cannot post URLs yet. Google "Samsung Radio apkmirror", should be the first link. Specifically, I have version 10.0.00.52 installed.

I just reset my phone back to factory defaults, to check.
in the "Samsung" Folder in the app drawer, I have Telephone, Messages, Voice recorder, and My Files.
I have no Radio App...
Which version of the 4s do you have, I mean the full name ?
edit : In The Software updates for the Phone i have these versions installed :
G398FNXXU1ASF5/G398FNOXM1ASF5/G398FNXXU1ASF2

I'm wondering if it's a difference between the "Enterprise Edition" and the Standard Edition....
I'm pretty sure I have the Exynos 7885 version (1.6GHz A53 cores) (there may be a 7884B version, with 1.35GHz A53 cores).
The board is called "Universal7885" in CPU-Z, which would be the same, or similar, to the Samsung A8+ boards I think ?
Edit : I found a Stock Rom apparently here, at samfrew.com
https://samfrew.com/download/Galaxy__XCover__4s__/mOac/FTM/G398FNXXU1ASG2/G398FNOGC1ASF2/
Is Samfrew an OK site to download a stock Rom from ?
edit2 : Did a search for the ASG2 Rom, and found that it may have been called Xcover 5 at some point.
https://samdb.org/firmware/pda/G398FNXXU1ASG2/
I much prefer getting this Rom from SamDB...

The model number according to Settings/About Phone is SM-G398FN. That is rather short, where do I get the full number? According to the spec page on the shop where I got it it is SM-G398FZKDE31, but I'd rather get this from the phone.
The software updates are:
G398FNXXU1ASH1 / G398FNOXM1ASH1 /
G398FNXXU1ASH1
Security patch level: 1 August 2019
(Yes, 1st and 3rd are the same, not sure what's up with that).

I think the box said Enterprise Edition on mine, but I am travelling right now, so I cannot check. Any place in the phone where I should be able to see this?

Yes, i saw some of the other roms seem to be ASH1.
Strange that my version seemed stuck on May 1st security update, when others are on 1st August...
Proper link than the one from before, to all the Xcover 4s/5 roms :
https://samdb.org/model/SM-G398FN/
i'm downloading a couple of them at the moment.
the Greek European version (EUR at the beginning of the filename) and the Dutch one (PHN).
They both seem to be "Black Editions" whatever that is...
Will try flashing them to my phone tomorrow, and see if it works or bricks...

I don't have the box in front of me to check.
its just I saw that people were talking about two different versions apparently, a Standard version (Black Edition?) and the Enterprise version.
the Enterprise version will have updates for longer (2 or 4 years was quoted wherever I read it) and stuff like that apparently.
Frankly, if I can get this working fine non-rooted, i may just buy another one to root and get a custom rom up and going, so when the updates run out, it will still work form many years to come.
Waterproof, DualSim+mSD, replaceable battery, IPS (PLS) 720p screen, 3.5mm jack....whats there not to like ?
edit : Just for info, "Orange" is a Service provider in France, on on their website, they state that it has no working FM Radio.
Maybe its just a French thing ? (I bought mine from a webshop).

Indeed, this kind of phone is becoming very rare. I was actually on the verge of buying a Motorola LEX L11 (a "police phone"), as it also has those features, but its cost is prohibitive if you have no use for its special radio connectivity, and the phone functionality is actually inferior in several ways. So I was really happy when the 4S appeared at a fraction of the price.

Well, just flashed the Dutch version, PHN-G398FNXXU1ASH1_G398FNOXM1ASH1-20190806 and still no FM Radio.
beginning to think its not possible to activate it....
Going to try Greek next, and then Swedish after that, seeing as we have one confirmed Swedish phone with it functioning...

Sérieux, tu n'as trouvé que la Rom Australienne !!
Tu as choisi quoi comme Région ? Il ne me trouve rien dans SamFirm, ni NEE, ni EEA, ni XSA..... ?
Tu n'as pas eu de soucis pour l'activation du téléphone avec une Sim Europeene ?
je te remercie, je vais faire l'essai.

"Hi, I'm French, and i had the same problem as you. I installed the Australian Rom G398FNXXU1ASH1_CL16564893_QB25260991_REV00_user_low_ship_meta_OS9.tar.md5, and then miraculously got the FM Radio back."
Having just tried the Greek Rom, and it seemingly getting stuck on the "Samsung" Boot screen, i went back and flashed the Dutch PHN Rom, mainly just to check if i'd bricked something.
That flashed fine.
Will try the NEE version tomorrow, and then the Australian version

The Australian Rom worked fine.
It started out with Vietnamese language by default, but worked.
FM Radio is back, and working very well
Going to check for a week or so, to make sure everything is fine.

Have you noticed whether the audio gets any louder than with an EU ROM? I have already disabled the high volume warning using the trick with the QuickShortcutMaker app, but I wonder if there is also some lower absolute volume limit in the EU firmware, similar to how it is in EU iPhones.

WM 6.1
Works with radio 1.71.09.01 but I noticed some problems :
- Data Connection switch on when using GPS applications (???)
- Sometimes laggy in menues
- Bug on today screen when changing to landscape mode (sometimes it doesn't want to get on landscape or the image is cutted)
- The jog wheel doesn't work very well on WMP
- WMP Skin came back to the old one when changing commands...
Many programs included, Manilla2D, a nice black boot screen and others.

salut à tous,
Merci pour cette ROM. Je l'apprécie beaucoup. Toutefois ai un souci avec Resco Sudoku. Il est livré dans la ROM mais ne se lance pas. Ai mon propre Resco Sudoku (acheté) mais il refuse de s'installer, que ce soit sur l'appareil ou sur la carte de stockage..

I got this problem too. Crashing on launch and expect an error report. Also, the task bar disappeared when coming back on the today screen.
I 'd like to know if it's possible to have the WMP skin which come with the rom cause I can only have the basic WMP10 skin.
/* And I'd like to ask you (every users of this forum) : does M2D work in landscape mode ? (Already searched and I didn't found anything...) */
EDIT : I've got now the answer of this last question...
Hello,
I use this rom since 2 weeks, it's very nice.
Very fast
No crash
But a little problem ...
it's not possible to listen music in sleep mode.
With HTC Rom and Orange Rom it's possible with every player.
Do you have a solution (for all player) ?
Oups !
I found the solution for music in sleep mode in this post :

[Q] Settings application Update v4.0.2213332163.350357

As the title says this is about the Settings application Update v4.0.2213332163.350357 that's being pushed as an OTA update. So far it looks like a bug fix patch for ICS, but it also seems to be being pushed to Sensations still on GB.
After having read a couple posts on various forums and threads it seems to download and successfully install on ICS. If you're on GB it's still being pushed as an update, it'll download but fail to install, which wouldn't be surprising if you're running the wrong version of Android for it to patch.
I'd like to confirm that this is indeed the case. If you've received this OTA please respond by saying:
Which version of Android is currently on your device
Did this update installed successfully for you.
If it did install successfully please list any changes you've noticed since installing it, like the now world famous Aeroplan spelling mistake.
In my case:
unrooted S-ON Sensation, firmware 1.50.401.1
update unsuccessful
I'm on ICS , everything is stock , update successful.
UPDATE: It seems they fixed aeroplan and small letter personal storage spelling, still no fix for Develop option and I have no idea what was that wifi fix never had any issues
Same here stock ICS update worked fine
Can see device administrator settings now on 4.0.3 which wasn't there before!
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
Update successful on my sensation. Stock ICS.
Update succesfull. Stock ICS 3.32.401.5, rooted, EXT4 recovery.

You might be unsuccesful because you have skipped a previous update.
One such could be the Twitter update, if you don't update that, you will not get the ICS update.

I haven't skipped any updates, twitter or otherwise. Also according to the Play Store all my installed applications are currently up to date. A final but important detail is that I should not be getting an ICS update because I do not have ICS, not because an app or setting that this update fixes is not up to date on my GB phone.

Aeroplan is subtly different from the British English Aeroplane, you may notice the missing e at the end.

Semi bricked phone?

Hey everyone, I have a bit of problem.. First of all I'm only a beginner (and French)!
So I was trying to install Cyanogen using PhilZ6, I have deleted everything required to install Cyanogen but the rom isn't working.
Turned out my mac extracts automatically ZIP files and I just ended up pasting a normal Cyanogen folder in my phone...
Could I be able to flash a Rom from my macbook to my phone?
It's been less than 48 hours since I have discovered the crazy world of android so be gentle with me haha!
If you have any ideas.. (Moto G first gen "Falcon" without SD, and I'm a mac user!)

Well sorry if my english sucks, but there's no need to be rude.
Maybe you should consider improving your French? It's pretty awful.

[Q] Check Bootloader Status

Hello,
I would like to know how I can check the Bootloader Status of my SM-G920F (Stock Rom, 6.0.1) ?
Btw I'm rooted with CF-AutoRoot, (Knox is 0x0500)
Thanks !

If this is an international g920f then it will be an unlocked bootloader

I believe that's French right? I'll be honest some carriers do lock the Bootloader but they are mainly American carriers, so it being an international model I'd say the Bootloader would be unlocked
Hello
I bought my phone at Free Mobile too, you have XEF CSC (unbranded France) and unlocked bootloader, don't worry about that

En Francais :
Ok donc mon bootloader est bien déverrouillé ? Aucun moyen de vérifier sa à 100% ? Via une application ou le recovery ?
Car j'aimerais avoir le SafetyNet en vert mais il me semble qu'il détecte les Bootloader déverrouillé, cela expliquerais le fait que j'ai unrooter mon téléphone sans avoir le satut vert sur SafetyNet
Ok so my bootloader is already Unlocked ? Any way to check that at 100% ? Any app or recovery check ?
Because I would like to have SafetyNet in green but it seems to detects unlocked Bootloader, it would explain the fact that I have fully unrooted my phone without having the green satut on SafetyNet. Any bypass for that ?

Safetynet does not detect bootloader status, it detects root status, if you have a fully stock firmware phone then you have no issues with safetynet

Bootloader is factory-unlocked on Samsung devices. There's no way to lock it anyway.
If you want to get SafetyNet working, you may need to reflash stock firmware.

Are you sure? Maybe it's just rumor?

Everyone would be complaining about this as all international g920f phones have a factory unlocked bootloader, I think it affects phones where you manually unlock a bootloader when you refer to your article
Just had a look at your post, I have a feeling there's part of root which has not removed completely, only way to know is flash a firmware through odin.

Any info on this getting global rom and how? Thanks
I'd go for Yoga Pad Pro because external monitor function is handy
I'd pick this one up in a heartbeat. Seems to have everything I'd want in a tablet for a decent price. Might actually go for the previous 730G model as it's even cheaper.

Bootloader is NOT unlocked
And what can I do to unlock?
Ok so i got my Lenovo Pad Pro 2021 unlocked bootloader, now i dont know how to root it and install TWRP lol. I saw a thread from lenovo CN 4rum that they could root it but i dont have an account to reply that in order to read all the tutorial. Maybe someone can help this.
This is the link to that thread: https://club.lenovo.com.cn/thread-7806187-1-1.html?
Hi, do you know where to get the original ROM? I update the firmware via OTA and widevine downgraded to L3. Thanks.
I don't have the answer unfortunately but why would Lenovo do this?? Getting rid of Widevine 1 is just crazy?

Hi Pierro,
I'm thinking about buying this tablet, I saw from your link it is less than 410€ delivered to france (including VAT) which is much cheaper than other place like AliExpress Lenovo – tablette Android 11 XiaoXin Pad Pro 2021, avec processeur Snapdragon 870 where it is sold around 580€.
Such a huge price difference seems strange to me.. do ,you confirm the tablet on your link is the same.
Did you buy it from there?

I actually didn't buy it ... I just found it (very) interesting ... I have a galaxy tab s5e with LineageOS and it's good enough for what I am using it for ...
Ok thanks for quick reply. it looked very interesting to me too, to replace my oldish galaxy note 8 tablet...
and maybe use as small desktop given the power.
I'm still a bit suspicious about the price though, (usually Aliexpress is a bit cheaper than Banggood).
A recent comment with picture seems to say it is really the sp 870 inside.. which at this price would be very interesting: OLED + powerfull CPU/GPU

It's him(the tablet i mean ).
Just buy from banghood at your price.
Come in italy in a super fast 8 day. Not vat and no import duty. Only a usa fast charger. You have to buy a adapter for eu electric socket ( 2 euro at Leroy Merlin ).
Global firmware with ota update disable.....
Tablet is really really fast and good,same the oled screen ,very good... maybe too dark but better than my Huawei mediapad pro ips lcd.....
The global firmware is good but not perfect translate....but good....all play store and ****.....
Ask any questions...
Ps. I buy also a original Lenovo cover for this pad.... But i have problems with the order....never start ship and banghood says to wait 25 days before refund....just for say to you...
Tablet seems really goods but without cover is really delicate so .....
