Hello everyone, my watch got bricked by the bad software update a couple of weeks ago, so I went to the Samsung store to get it fixed, and I dropped it off. I was told that I could come pick it up today, so I picked it up, and I decided to check the apps, when I saw a no icon app installed, and when I opened it, I got this screen.View attachment viivvbbrus1a1.jpg
I couldn't figure out how to use it, since it only shows this screen, so I'm guessing I need something else to make it work. In case you guys want to mess with it, I'll attach it to the post.
might unpack the apk and look at the code

Please contact me.
I will write Conversation aka PM to you...

I have never seen your Photo... so no idea if you have Combination Firmware like this:
Firmware and Combination Firmware and FOTA Delta and CSC change and...
Looks like it could be harder since Tizen... A Stock Firmware for netOdin/Odin not available yet... B Combination Firmware not available yet C FOTA Delta File for study I have...
forum.xda-developers.com
Or something else...
If Combination Firmware... then WARNING!
It could be dangerous to use netOdin with Stock Firmware.
As FACtory Firmware have different PIT aka Partition table...
So maybe only via USB cable... otherwise dead or halfsdead/bricked result possible.
Model Name would be helpfull...
SM-R870 or something like this?
Best Regards

Hello
I see
http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/DBT/SM-R760/version.test.xml this url it's from combination firmware right? for testing porpouses version
If i install this combination with ODIN: COMBINATION-FT30_R760XXU2CRB1.zip i get OTA updates from link above? (or i get any OTA update?)
edit: and samsung pay work with this fw?
thanks in advance
IMHO Combination Firmware is something else... as Stock Firmware... and Engineer Firmware you see on this FOTA Test Server...
IMHO Live Demo Units have access to Test Server...
Like SM-R760X and SM-R770X...
I have never seen/found Combination Firmware where FOTA updates work... it is simple not inside...
Best Regards

Hello @adfree I've been reading your post in kernel and several more posts about Tizen and S3 so it is an honor for me to answer me (thanks to some messages from you I could discover why my modified rootfs.img did not work and ended up in bootloop and desist from continuing hahahahaha)
Then according to what you say, I would have to do with the firmware of a device: SM-R760X which with a NetOdin that did not check the exact model could be flashed (since it is the same device in reality)
In the hypothetical case that I do this SPay firmware would still work?
Many thanks
EDIT: a rom with: ENG Boot it's correct?
(sorry but i missed a lot of time from Tizen and Samsung.... i'm user and dev of xiaomi devices)
Combination Firmware is Service/Factory stuff...
Samsung Pay is not preinstalled... also other usefull stuff for normal user like me is absent/missing in Combination Firmware...
Be carefully with SM-R760X/SM-R770X LDU stuff...
You can write Private Message to me...
Maybe we can find... how I can "help" you.
Best Regards
Good evening ladies and gents,
I got a phone today from Amazon Galaxy Note 10 Plus. SM-N975F/DS.
Got it activated on AT&T which took a bit of trickery but finally got it activated.
So now I am in the process of rooting it and noticed that there are many region specific firmware (you have to use Magisk to patch the firmware (the .md5)). For example mine is N975FXXU6FUCD-MID which was difficult to find and difficult to identify. I have located this (MID) region and its Iraq. As I type this that exact firmware is downloading from SMAMOBILE. I will be flashing a custom ROM within the next few hours. I was wondering tho, since there is no USA Firmware version, will the custom ROM change the firmware thus rendering this entire post irrelevant? Does the firmware matter if the phone is activated and functioning, or is there anything else anyone would suggest? For example should I flash a firmware from perhaps Mexico since its the same continent?
I ask because as I stated above, I am downloading the N975FXXU6FUCD-MID firmware now, and I have to use Magisk to patch the firmware so I just figured I would patch the exact same firmware that is on the phone currently but should i patch a different firmware instead?
Anyway, If anyone has any insight into this I'd love to hear it. Thank you!
Hello everyone, i got a problem when fash a galaxy watch 4 classic 42mm ( R885U) , when i fash my devices say Factory allow failed .

Thank you very much for Upload Combination Firmware.
But again.
We can NOT use Combination Firmware without eToken crap...
You can only flash Stock Firmware with netOdin...
I have NO Stock Firmware for SM-R885U...

and the usual odin via usb - is it possible to flash the combination?
I have NO way found to flash full Combination Firmware...
Not with my rooted SM-R870 nor my rooted SM-R875F...
Not with USB and Odin nor other way...
I can only use parts... boot.img recovery.img and few APKs...
But only with modification so ROOT is mandatory...
IMHO Combination Firmware is NOT Holy Grail...
Best Regards
Here Video how I used few APKs from Combination Firmware in my Magisk rooted SM-R870...
Rooting Galaxy Watch4
I've unlocked bootloader, got boot.img(hashes match in update.zip and my boot.img + it boots fine), patched it and vbmeta in tar by magisk 24.3, but when i flash new boot.img, it throws me "SECURE FAILED: BOOT" error on watch and system doesn't...
forum.xda-developers.com
Only as example...
So the Question...
Why Combination Firmware? If you have no working eToken (steady.bin)
Rumour... maybe eToken NOt possible with netOdin...
I know only 1 user who "unlocked" by luck/accident... but still Combination Firmware not tested...
Look at Photo:

Hi guys,
My GW4 classic 46mm is still on GVI3 firmware with Sept 1 patch and luckily I didn't update to GVK3.
I read all the misery that came with this firmware update and also the GVK4 version.
However, the GVK7 version is out now and seems to have solved the bricking issue, so I want to try that version to install.
But my phone and watch keep saying I need to install the GVK3 version.
Is there a way I can get rid of the GVK3 version, so I can check for the GVK7 version and install that one ?
A
Can you maybe write correct Model Name?
Example...
SM-R880 or something like this...
My adventure with SM-R860 and GVH2 to prevent GVI3.. ended with Brick...
So I was forced to be wimpy... and Samsung repaired my SM-R860...
B
Are you able to detect your valid active set CSC?
Example...
I set my SM-R860 to Germany and then active CSC is:
DBT
Best Regards
I took the change and updated to GKV4.
Luckily the watch still started and I could update immediately to GKV7 as well.
Watch not bricked = me happy
I've looked into it a bit, and it seems that changing the CSC is possible.
I'm not sure how quickly I'll rush into doing so, as I don't have much money and thus can't afford to brick phones willy-nilly, but would it be possible to change my A536W to A536E/A536B via CSC-change and then flash A536E/A536B firmware onto my device so as to allow for the bootloader to become unlockable? Someone on this forum has requested the A536E and A536B software on Samsung's open-source site, and they appear to be available for download.
Question of the century.
W variants dont have the B or E CSCs, so you cant just change the CSC. I tried flashing a B firmware on my E device, and it failed. The only option i havent tried is using the Patched Odin with the PIT file, but like you, i cant end up with a brick.

perhaps if we can get samsung to upload the W variants' firmware, we can do something similar to what they did for the Realme 7 and manually edit the firmware file to match B or E with a simple find-and-replace? I'm unsure of how it works because I've been out of the development-scene for years, but I'll keep an eye out for any way to unlock the A53 - and, should I find a solution, I'll definitely be sure to post about it

Any intrusion in the firmware files results in tripping knox. And if knox isnt an issue, you might as well root and find a solution there.
Im afraid we're out of options as we stand.

I see. I'll keep looking into it, and I'll try to get the firmware file uploaded if possible, too. Again, I'll be sure to post about any findings
