Important information!

• Before asking questions, read the materials of the caps and discussion in the topic! UseSearch! Otherwise, repeated questions and answers to them will be deleted so as not to clog the topic. Formulate the questions clearly, informatively and clearly - then the probability is high that the answer will be equally intelligible and useful.
  
• Important!All questions related to which version of Android / firmware is better / more stable will be immediately removed!

It is also recommended to read thisby message.
  
• Downgrading the firmware version is blocked by the bootloader version in your currently installed firmware. Odin does not flash the firmware by lowering the bootloader version, that is, the firmwareA520FXXU1APLLit is no longer possible to flash through Odin after installing the firmwareA520FXXU2BQH4(the figure in red indicates the version of the bootloader). Despite this, it is possible to roll back to the previous version of Android, if the above condition is not violated.
  
• At the moment, there is no 100% working way to unlock the bootloader and get Root rights on this device! This means that the blocking bypass solutions presented in the header and subject can both work and not work on your device. Moreover, on the latest firmware version, unlocking the bootloader is not yet fully available. It is recommended to readaccording toad.

Reason for editing: Removing Google Account (FRP) on firmware A520FXXU8CSC1

After getting root rights, to restore Screen Mirroring (but only from the device - TV) you need to add a line to build.propwlan.wfd.hdcp = disable

And about the Flashfire applications for traversing half the functioning TWRP ... until they modify the kernel, it will not be fully working and there will always be "Unable to mount storage".

[toshik020392]

Friends. Who happens wi-fi dump in Russian build, download the English build. After half a day, there were only 5 departures of Wi-Fi. Before that, there were several dozen of them.
Download the United Kingdom (EE) on sammobile. Put only in the item "AP"! The firmware is in the cap!

[Barbarisius]

Tell me, is it possible for a European to flash firmware for the Russian region in order for samsung pay to work? Does the knox counter not tick?
What will be the difference between the PCT and a stitched European?

[toshik020392]

Barbarisius,
1. You can flash it. But what's the point? Samsung Pay works on all off-firmware. But! If you put twrp and root, then forget about samsung pay.
2. When flashing off firmware, the meter does not tick.
3. Differences in CSC.

[dauren1984]

I have off-firmware, but Pei does not work. Writes "not supported"

[Barbarisius]

Toshik020392 @ 02.20.2017, 02:54

I read somewhere that for samsung pay to work on the territory of Russia there should be a firmware of the Russian region (ser). If the flashing does not change csc, then the joint venture does not work on gray devices.

[toshik020392]

Barbarisius,
In the cap just ser is. Download it and put it. There 4 file. CSC will change.

toshik020392on my device, the region stubbornly did not change to SER, even after flashing with 4x file firmware which in the header, at least Samsung Pay did not work, until I flashed 4x file firmware into the British one from the header of this topic, and then, again same 4x firmware on the Russian.
