Hey guys help here.. my A8 2018 android 9 pie always displays 'emergency calls only' and when i go to settings and try to search operators manually it says error while searching for networks..
it all began when i brought it into another country..
i tried soft and hard reset then went on to install another rom to no avail...
its baseband and imei are all known... ..
i even tried to downgrade it but it displays an error in download mode which says device binary 7 bla bla binary 2...
when in download mode i can see some text displayed as "CARRIER ID = XFA" am not sure if this is of any importance...
I also went on to root her so that i will be ready to implement any method that can be available

XFA is the south africa CSC. where will you be using the phone? ive used the germany, uk, ireland, romanian and russian firmwares on my A8 here in the states and they all worked just fine. im betting that the phone is locked to its native CSC
i am using the phone in zimbabwe..
so if locked to its original carrier is there any way to fix it or i should take it back to xfa

the A8's are supposed to be unlocked tho. Did you buy it thru a carrier?
go to this address and search for xfa, youll see that its unbranded and should be able to be used on any GSM carrier. You might have to give the carrier the IMEI in order to get it working
I have the T-Mobile version A71 5g, model # SM-A716U. I can't stand the T-Mobile branding, especially the jingle on startup.I am trying to flash the generic firmware XAS-A716USQU1ATFB-20200713085932 with odin and it fails every time with a message on the phone.
Odin on the computer does not show any error. Once that process is complete the phone reboots to the bootloader and shows an error message: failed the resizing-data
Is there any way to do this without wiping the phone? I read some things that say you have to log out of google and samsung accounts, would that really make this process fail?

I doubt Odin cares what accounts you do or don't use. Shouldn't have any effect.
I'm not a fan of the T-Mo branding either. The all-pink screen splash is obnoxious.
Sounds like the problem is the internal memory partitions are slightly different between the generic image and the T-Mo image and it doesn't lime that.
So you think for this I will need to factory reset. Do I just select re-partition in odin and then select CSC file instead of HOME_CSC file?
And is there any risk of tripping the efuse or setting the warranty void status to 1?
In the meantime I tried the *#272*IMEI# and this is just such a mess. When I set it to XAS the phone thinks it is Sprint phone and tries and fails to activate. When I set it to XAA then that doesn't happen but it refuses to make VoLTE call and calls over CDMA do not connect for some reason. I am using Verizon SIM card BTW. Also in XAA T-Mobile 5G does not work.
But now it is stuck on XAA *#272*IMEI# does not bring up the menu!

Where are you finding generic (unlocked) firmware?
I've looked on SamMobile & couldn't find anything for the SM-A716U.
As best I can tell, there is no unlocked version of this firmware nor does Samsung even offer an unlocked version of the phone itself.
I don't know, this is all very confusing. Some random websites say XAS is generic firmware, other random site say XAS is Sprint. And then they show a BST firmware too but nobody tries to guess what carrier that is for.
In any case if I used the *#272*IMEI# menu to switch it to XAA and now Verizon VoLTE doesn't work and T-Mobile 5G doesn't work what can I do to revert back to stock since the *#272*IMEI# menu will no longer show up?

Have you tried using Samsung's Smart Switch desktop tool to restore your phone back to stock?
https://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/app/smart-switch/
Smart switch doesn't give me any option. The old version says this phone is not supported for recovery.
And now I can't even get the phone back to download mode
I am also looking for a way to update my A71 5g to Android 11 and OneUI 3.
I have the model number SM-A716U, the AT&T variant that is network unlocked and on Metro-by-Tmobile.
I have been looking for a way to update the phone but I only found the firmware for model SM-A716U1 which is the unlocked variant.
I don't want to take the chance of bricking the phone.
But the firmware is from AT&T but the model number is different.
There is an update for the right model number but it can't be downloaded anywhere.
Smart Switch also doesn't recognize that there is an update.
I guess I am just stuck with Android 10 and OneUI 2.5
I have a Samsung S7 that my Father had been using on a Vodafone contract.
He died in April .... we closed the contract. All his accounts are closed.
Now trying to set up a phone as a PAYG on Three for my daughter.
When you boot it up it needs an unlock code - to fill the NUL request form in on Vodafoneyou need the IMEI which I don't have
I can't use *#06# as the phone comes up as locked and needs a PIN. (which I don't have)
Hrs of fun with Vodafone support and advised carrying out hardware reset of phone.
Did that .... it wipes ... starts config & connects to WiFi but then advises it was an unauthorised reset and needs previous Google account details - which I don't have.
So 2 issues - I can't get the phone to clean state and I can't get phone's IMEI
Anybody know how to proceed.

I need help finding the Odin files for the model SM-F916UZKAXAA
For the US variant.
256GB Model
I'm in dire need. I've been fighting Samsung and many others to get something fixed and they all refuse to help. :/
Backstory: Bought secondhand advertised as the AT&T model. After a week stopped working(no calls or texts/data). Just an error message saying "your phone is not registered to a network, you can only make emergency calls"
baseband number in the settings is nothing I can find online. Google shows no results.
Sent to Samsung and they sent an email saying "sorry we cant fix your SM-F916UZKAXAA"
which google says thats the unlocked model not the att model.
which is weird because the boot showed the att logo and had all the att apps preloaded.
Further research shows this behavior is because Android doesnt know how to communicate with the baseband because nothing matches.
IDK what is going on. I Just want to see if trying to odin the supposed model FW will fix my issue.
You can try Samfrew
Here you can download the "U" variant (usually means carrier fw):
https://samfrew.com/model/SM-F916U/
And here you can download "U1" variant (usually means carrier free):
https://samfrew.com/model/SM-F916U1/
If you use regular Odin, it should only let you flash your variant version only (either U or U1)
You can look up patched Odin on XDA if you want to switch it.
Hello,
I have an A536V (I bought it used and it's not paid off) and every time I try to flash a different firmware (XAA, TMO...) it just says secure check fail.
The phone should be unlocked because my T-Mobile SIM card works for a few seconds until the signal just goes away and doesn't come back. So my question is, what am I doing wrong? Why can't I flash any other software?
P.S. I used the SamFW tool to change my CSC to whatever was available (on VZW software the only ones available were FKR and GCF, neither of which bypassed whatever stops my SIM from working).
Please help! Thank you!
secure check fail means its either the wrong firmware or to low of a revision than whats on the device as in you cannot flash older firmware But that being said you are bassicly admitting you have a subsidized phone thats blacklisted due to non payment. So no other help will be given more than likely here
Look at this: https://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-unlock-a-verizon-phone-1131315/
"Once you hit that 60-day mark, Verizon will unlock the device automatically. However, you’ll have to pay it off in full if you want to take it to another carrier."
Move to Verizon. Easily solved here. (Well maybe. I don't know what Verizon thinks of that with buying a used phone not fully paid off.)
I have the same question, but I have a Verizon phone that is actually paid off
EDIT
I just wanted to change CSC to remove the ugly Verizon branding on boot
It stayed unlocked when I switched to GCF firmware (XAA was not available since this is technically a hardware revision from the usual A53 5G, this is the A53 5G UW - ultra wideband model)
Anyway I found out from someone else you can use SamFW to do this for free in the ADB tab
