Hello,
I got a clone of S9+ and I was wondering if it's possible to re-flash another ROM. I want to do this because security patterns doesn't seem to work and it has some bugs with the UI. Also, is it possible to flash an original Samsung ROM?
Really thanks for your time, appreciate your help !

No, Samsung official firmware will not work.
Is flashing another device's firmware possible? yes...
Is it probable that you'll actually find a compatible firmware? no.
You'd have to identify everything about all of your hardware components and hardware features, then find a firmware for another device that has all of the exact same hardware. But finding a firmware from a different device that has all the same hardware is pretty much impossible.
Basically, you'll be looking for a needle in a haystack in a field of haystacks and then even if you do find a compatible firmware, it will have to be modified in some manner to work on your device.

Hello everyone,
Might be a stupid question, but I have an SM-N915G variant and would like to try different roms on it, however each rom in description has different letter at the end of the model (W,F etc.) so the question is if I can still use it for my device.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

No. You will go into bootloop but can recover by flashing a 915G rom...

There is not a stock firmware available for that specific device, faked devices don't have any software support. You're chasing a ghost.
The best you can hope for is a firmware that is "close" to what you need and even if you install it, there will probably be features and functions that won't work without modifying the firmware to make it completely compatible with the device.
Personally, I suggest they forget about that device and get a non-faked device, they'll be better off that way.
I don't understand why anyone would waste their money on fake devices and then think they can do the things with it that can be done with brand named devices.
It's like intentinally and knowingly spending money to have your face stomped into the dirt.
I would think that the average person is smarter than that, but I guess not.

Hello, there actually is. That you can't do the same features you can install ok phones like samsung, that i know. But there is a stock flashrom, there is for all such phones, i just need someone who can export it (if they have the same model) so i can flash it back on.

If your device has a stock firmware that is available to the public, then why haven't you downloaded it and flashed it? I'll tell you why, because it doesn't exist, that is why.
So, I say again....
No, that is not true at all. Not all devices have a stock firmware that is available to the public. This is especially true for cloned/faked devices. I've never seen a cloned device that has a firmware that is available to be downloaded and flashed. Everyone I've ever seen here with a cloned/fake device that needed a stock firmware has had to find firmware from a different device that is close to the same thing as the device they had and then modify the firmware to work on their device, some never find anything that works.
Sure, parts of the stock ROM can be dumped from the device if it is rooted, but, that won't give you the entire firmware from the device, there are parts that can't be dumped.
I don't think you understand what is going on as well as you think you do.
I searched for the firmware for you. I found a lot of devices with P31 in the name, some of them have a firmware that is available, but none of them were the device you have. I did not find anything that you can use.
See what I mean? Cloned devices have absolutely no software support of any kind. The people that make these devices don't care about supporting their product or supporting the customer, all they care about is making the devices and selling them to whatever fool will buy them.
When you buy a fake device, you take your chances and you better hope nothing goes wrong because you're pretty much screwed if it does.

what flasher did you use?
Hi,
I'm wondering if there is any way to get the panama version of the A8 to have VoLTE support on T-Mobile in the USA with a GSI? My Moto X4 battery is dying... So I dug out my A8 and am trying to get it working.
I found another post that suggested changing the CSC by installing it from another phone that has a USA version and that person posted some files but I'm not using the stock ROM and its not a good idea to randomly flash random zips you find on the forums without asking first.
I also don't think CSC applies to non stock roms?
Any help would be great!

i havent had a non-stock ROM on my A8, but a GSI doesnt seem like it would even be capable of supporting a CSC as they are carrier specific. Dunno man.

What about just removing all the google and samsung junk from the stock rom is that possible? How would I do that?

the GSI is supposed to be stripped of as much samsung stuff as possible which follows the course of the AOSP from where it really got the idea from which has always been about being as pure of an android experience as possible. Even the term GSI stands for Generic System Image, that being said tho, the phone would be a really interesting paperweight without the google stuff

Yeah the GSI is stripped of all the google stuff, but I was thinking perhaps I could recreate the sort of lineage os type experience by stripping out all the google nonsense, like the store, the assistant etc. and samsung junk but using a stock samsung rom as the base that way I could find some way to swap a different CSC and get VoLTE and Wifi Calling working. I've seen other threads around where people have used a CSC from a different model to get theirs working.

if you want to do that, just flash lineage and magisk, then get titanium backup pro and freeze or delete whatever you dont want
Hi.
My phone is SM-N910CQ
Current android version is 6.0.1
I want to install Android 5.1.1 stock rom from Samsung.
I did not try any roms, Kies, Sammobile.
I think, Kies will install latest Android version.
I don't want to use Sammobile. It is not official.
I have never rooted. (If I need, I can.)
I have an idea to get stock rom from Samsung.
I cannot try because I don't know how to do it.
My idea is:
1 - To change my phone firmware version with older than current version. (It will need roots.)
For example: Android shows current version is 4.4.4. Actually Android is 6.0.1
2 - If it can be success, when I check my phone to update.
I can get stock rom from Samsung.
But. Even if it can be success, Samsung can give me the latest version. (So, 6.0.1) (I really don't know the results.)
Can it work?
What do you think about my idea and how can I do it?
Thank you.

There is nothing to worry about from Sammobile, many people use Samsung firmware from Sammobile. I've used firmware from Sammobile many times.
If you're looking for an "official Samsung site" offered by Samsung themselves to download your firmware, you won't find it. Samsung has an "official" site with downloads for their devices, but, they do not offer firmware for every model number/device they make. I've already looked, they don't have firmware for SM N910CQ there, they only have a few different firmware for a handful of SM-N910 variants.
If you want to flash your device, you have no choice but to get your firmware from somewhere other than Samsung themselves, whether you like or not. The rest of the community of Samsung users has to accept this fact, you are not any better than the rest of us.

Thank you for your reply.
My phone version does not appear on Sammobile. Thank you for looking it for me.
It seems I have to continue to use my phone with current Android version.
Also I have to take a backup of my rom to prevent future problems.

Here is 5.0.1 for your model number, are you in Turkey? If not, this is firmware may or may not work for you.

Thank you so much. That URL has been broken.
Except one thing my phone is fine.
After about a minute of playing, FPS starts to drop.
There can be many reasons for this. However, I found a strange solution.
However, this solution is valid for about a minute.
I return to the recently used apps panel. And I'm back in the game. Without closing the game.
I can play with 60 FPS for about one more minute. This is such a cycle.
I could not understand the reason for this. It looks like a software bug.
Do you have any information on this subject?
Thank you.
Good morning all,
I am relatively new to this forum but have perused it from time to time to gain a general understanding of what is involved with reflashing or reinstalling whatever is required to remove my carrier and everything that comes with it.
- I would like to inquire about some of the terminology used in this forum. When someone says firmware, is that considered to be the bios on a motherboard? One UI, is this the operating system that is similar to a windows operating system?
- I have seen the program Odin but is that for flashing only or does it also install the One UI?
- If i have a software version that is not the same as the one that I found online, but it is still for the same phone and carrier, is that ok to use if it is months older or newer?
- If I decide to completely reinstall everything brand new without the carrier customware, will this remove my unlock from that carrier?
- Is there a reputable site to download the firmware and One UI for my phone?
There is just so much and I do not want to just jump into a tutorial without understanding what I am installing and what things mean. If there is already something on this, I apologize in advance.
--Mike.

Firmware is what you call an operating system on the phones, and it is infact a firmware which is read only - if you not consider the root factor. The firmware we run, or the operating system in your terms (Similar to Windows XP) for phones in Android. We are currently running Android 12.
OneUI is the graphical layer which Samsung has built exclusively for their devices running Android. You cannot separately update them. When your Android OS is being updated, the graphical layer which samsung has built (OneUI) will be updated as well.

Odin is the flashing program built for windows. It can be used flash firmware to a Samsung device. More info on ODIN is can be found here ;

Since a lot of people will have their Galaxy S22 Ultra soon and I myself am thinking about either getting an S21 Ultra or S22 Ultra, I wanted to summarise a lot of information I found out during researching as Samsung devices are quite different...

You cannot flash an older firmware, as downgrading is not favored by Odin. You can always upgrade to a newer firmware if it matches your exact device model and CSC (Code that defines the region)

Nope, Carrier lock cannot be removed by flashing a firmware.
