Root & region lock - Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers

My N970F/DS (exynos) is on fairly recent stock firmware (Android 13) and rooted (Magisk, no TWRP) but after a recent reset I am harassed by Samsung's region lock again.
Is there a way to edit a file(s) to get rid off this? /efs ? build prop? Thanks

mt7-l09v100r001c00b145 open bootloader rooted back to stock and update to Marshmallow

Hi all, I've an mt7-l09v100r001c00b145. As I remember with patched firmware with cwm and open bootloader for root. So a update to the OTA version MT7-L09_WestEurope_C900B331 fail.
I tried to to a restore of a full TWRP backup from this sources: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/huawei-mt7-l09-l10-stock-firmware-ota-t3275784
But both B571 ( Europe ) ---> https://mega.nz/#!5ZoTTL7C!ysPX6UVlG...9hjVJU0XJa_5f4 and B571 ( Europe - non root all stock ) ---> https://mega.nz/#!kdxF3CjJ!aHDP9WHaq...x5u9ID_nAf7NW0 could be restored, but phone will not boot.
So I need a strategy ideally to go back to stock boot loader and recovery, to update the OTA updates and at least with ROOT feature. Ideally a update strategy, to save all application settings.
If this is not available, I would like to do a force update of a FULL working rom. But need hints for the correct strategy.
Best thanks!

You can look this site over and see if its useful. I've used it a few times going back and fourth back on b522 just going to keep it there. http://www.carbontesla.com/firmware...collection/huawei-ascend-mate-7-firmware-ota/ It's all Huawei firmware all stock.
thanks for hints... I was able with the image MT7-L09_V100R001C00B145, to overwrite the existing version with and overwrite of the boot and recovery extracted from this image. And also update to the latest build with phone update tools.
Had to reset, will set up now the phone...
Here is a Hint, how you can overwrite Up and Down from Any version to Stock: http://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/m...en-boot-loader-und-root.796457/#post-10051801

Question about UnRooting

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S6. My carrier is Telus ( Canada ). I'm currently on Android 5.1.1. G920W8VLU2BOH8. Rooted. And i wanna unroot it. My question is this: Do I need to go with G920W8VLU1AOCG ( Android 5.0.2 ) or I can stay with my actual Android version?
thx

If you have SuperSU installed on your device, you can open SuperSU, find its app settings, find the option to remove root/uninstall and cleanup, select that and it should remove su binaries and the SuperSU app to remove root.
For good measure, you can then reboot to recovery, if you have stock recovery wipe cache then reboot, if you have custom recovery you can wipe cache and Dalvik/ART cache then reboot, this cleans up any cached data that might cause issues(if any) after removing the SuperSU app.

If you have kingroot then go to kingroot settings and click on uninstall root
This will remove root completely from your device
Then you can check it with root checker app after rebooting

Root galaxy s7 advices

Hi,
I would like to root my samsung galaxy s7 sm-g930f with android 7.0 and firmware phn.
I tried to root my phone with CF-Auto-Root-herolte- and odin but I made something wrong (probably not using the most recent file version or odin version) and my phone was blocked.
Then I flashed a new stock version to resolve the problem.
Now I would like to know if this method is correct (without installing twrp) and if is it possible root the phone without erasing all my data.
thank you

If you want to root I would recommend you to use Magisk but a fsctory reset is mandatory if you want to do this as you will have to flash TWRP to install it and since the encryption changes when you install a custom recovery you will need to use the format data option under the Wipe menu in TWRP and that will factory reset your phone. So make a backup first.
If you decide to do this. Use the format data option then reboot to recovery and after that flash magisk zip. After that reboot to system and wait.

Downgrade Android 8 to 7 - Binary 3?

Hello,
I am attempting to downgrade from Android 8 to 7 on Galaxy S7. When I attempt to flash the old firmware I get the error 'Device 3 - Binary 2'. Does anyone know if there is a workaround for this yet?

Odin will not let you flashback to a previous boot loader version, you have to do it through TWRP. So either flash the nougat firmware with TWRP first or any nougat based rom, then flash nougat via odin which will remove root and TWRP.

Are there any instructions for this?
Will secure apps (Banking etc) work again after removing root?
I was under the impression you could via Odin if OEM unlock was enabled, without needing TWRP or root. https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-how-to-downgrade-android-oreo-8-0-t3821495
edit: As for banking, if you go root then flash back to stock you should have no issues. Even if you stay root, things like Magisk will hide root status from apps and pass safetynet. Your biggest issue would be the loss of Knox, which voids warranty and breaks some Samsung apps.

It is not possible as per some of the replies to that thread. I spent a few hours playing TWRP yesterday and it was not possible either.

Ok so listen, it can be done as i said but it's not easy. The choice you have of course before attempting this is to just install a android 7 custom ROM? many nougat ROMs are just stock with the bloatware removed and the boot-loader version isn't checked during flash.
Here's another way to go back, i can't guarantee it will work though i haven't tried it on an S7.
Downgrade to an older firmware with an older bootloader even if one keeps the newer bootloader on his device.
So what's how's it done?
Download the firmware file (.tar) which you want to downgrade to and open it with an archiver application (7zip). Extracts all the files to a folder and repacks them again in a .tar file but leaving every file out which ends in .bin (e.g. sboot.bin etc.). This .tar file can now be flashed like any other firmware file via Odin and it should run through it without any problems.
Hope this helps.

Question Modify build.prop of Stock ROM in root and then unroot + relock with saved changes to build.prop?

Can I modify my build.prop of my Stock ROM (Realme UI 3.0 Global) in root and then unroot and lock the bootloader so that build.prop is unchanged? I don't care if it erases user data. I just want the changes in build.prop to persist in the fresh install.
Why?: I'm trying to change build.prop to enable VoLTE and VoWIFI. I can do that successfully using root but for security reasons I want to use an unrooted, bootloader locked device with only changes made to build.prop.
It is possible to edit the build.prop and then unroot the device and lock bootloader, edited build.prop will remain the same.
But unfortunately you will no longer receive OTA updates because build.prop will show up as a modified system partition and update will fail.

That's not true. I still can update it and root the A/B partition with Magisk again.
That means I can still keep root and update successfully
