Ive soft-bricked my Samsung Galaxy A40FN running Android 9.0 Pie while attempting to disable bloatware via ADB and I'm currently searching for a solution to recover my data and get the system back running. The phone is stuck in a boot loop, but I can get into recovery mode and download mode.

I didn't try wiping/factory-resetting yet as I need to rescue my data first. One possible solution for this could be to flash the original firmware using Odin while leaving the /data folder untouched:


I.e. does Samsung publish MD5 hashes of official firmware updates and would comparing these hashes/checksums be a reliable method to verify that the files have not been tampered with, considering that firmware files are typically 4-5 GB large?


The problem began when I discovered that the ESPN app can't play videos. No matter what video the stream makes it a few seconds and then only buffers. I have tried every suggestion online and by support to make this app work. Nothing works. My internet is excellent, all other apps. Alas this post isn't about the ESPN app not working.


In my conversations with support I was directed to update my firmware. My current firmware is version 2101. If I go to settings and check for updates, it says my TV is update to date. Samsung support tells me that is not the case. They directed to me a firmware folder and told me to update via USB. Here is the link to update via USB "HAD TO REMOVE LINK"


My first problem, there are two different firmware folders. Why? Which one is correct? If you download the larger file there are 3 folders and 1 file inside the zip. The USB directions give no indications on how to handle this. The each folder has 2 files with the same names. You can't copy all of the files from the zip folder into the USB contrary to the USB directions and customer supports insistence. Which files do I copy? So I download the smaller firmware zip from the link. I copy all of the files in that zip to my USB. I plug the USB into my TV. I turn the TV on. The TV recognizes the USB. I go to settings and update, the TV asks if I want to update from the USB. I confirm. The TV then tells me the TV has the most up to date firmware. I inquire with support. They then link me the steps to updating via USB.


Trying to update the firmware on my UN65TU700DFXZA tv...per the support site, the latest available firmware version is 2303.1. my TV is at 2101. So I tried updating via the internet directly from the TV and it says no update available. I downloaded he 3.6Gig firmware file from the support page, copied it over to a USB drive thats fat32. Unzipping the file, I saw 3 different firmwares, one was the stock factory firmware and 2 other updates I guess. when I copied the folders on to the USB and trying to do a manual update. the TV still doesnt see the firmware files and says there is no update available. tried everything format the usb drive, unplug and re-plug the tv to rule out static, reset, unhook all acceriors like sound bar and reset the TV again and still no luck... reset and didnt setup network connection to make sure its a local manual upgrade still no luck. lastly removed all the files from the usb drive, only copied the image file and tried again, ruling out any folder structure issue..still no luck.. spent an hour on the phone with Samsung support and their system or the user adruptly ended the call after 1hr of being on it. tried calling again and this time the system declared that this needs a ticket and sent me a link to create a ticket. Just curious did anyone else have had this issue or did i get a bad unit ?


Hi @MaGu2662 , see there are 2 different files (in Uk can be one for Windows and all systems but not specified) You could try downloading the smaller files. You have attempted various fixes , though have you tried formatting to NTFS as shown here -to-convert-a-hard-drive-or-flash-drive-from-fat32-to-ntfs-format...


Hello, I just bought 57inch neo G9 model LS57CG952NNXZA. It was working perfectly fine for 2 weeks and all of a sudden with 240hz refresh I am seeing video color distortion at peak when objects move of the screen. Then I checked that firmware is due for an update from 1001.2 to latest 1023.7.


In order to perform the upgrade via USB I have followed all the instructions provided on the Samsung website but the file is not getting recognized from the USB. I have tried multiple USBs without any luck. It keeps pointing out that the file is not present when the file is actually present.

Note: I have unzipped the file and copied the data into the USB. It has info.txt and update.msd files.


First off, for this specific model if you are using DP cable v1.5 or lower you will encounter screen issues at 8k 60hz. You will need to run HDMI 2.1 in order to get 8k at 60hz . I have tested with 4090 having DP 1.4 with DP cable v2.0 and v2.1, 8k at 60hz will not run correctly.

You need to have the GPU and cable both at DP v2.1.

Right now only way to run 8k at 60hz is with any GPU having HDMI 2.1 port using HDMI v2.1 cable and you will get 8k at 120hz.


Coming to upgrading the firmware of the screen model: LS57CG952NNXZA, the US site at the current date: 10/24/2023 is hosting incorrect version. If you will download the firmware and try to update the screen, it will not recognize the file as it is incorrect. The file available on US site is: upgrade.msd. The screen expects an iso image.


However, I was able to update to the latest version by visiting the EU samsung site and downloading the file from their. The file I got from EU site is: M-C9557GGPA-1003.0[4488].img which is the file to be used. Just follow rest of the same instructions to upgrade and it should work.

Here is the direct link to the UK site for download this file:


Also NOTE: There are two USB Ports on the back and one will work with the Update Driver software and the other apparently won't - so, you might need to try plugging in the USB stick into one of the ports and if that doesn't work - try the other usb port.


I want to get Tizen 5.5.0.1 stock firmware of my galaxy watch SM-R805F. I expect all the four firmware files in it - AP, BL, CP and CSC files.

I could not find the firmware files anywhere on the internet. Although i could find Tizen 4.4 firmware files which, i think, will not be compatible with my watch.


Which sums up to only 94KB. Also the unetbootin record is instantaneous as it if were not recording anything. The firmware ISO has 16MB so the burned SD card should have this size of similar, but it only has those files which sums to 94KB.


If you are on Linux, it's probably better to use dd, since it's a hybrid ISO that is bootable by itself when written on non-optical storage. Note that you should write it to a disk, not a partition as the PDF has suggested.


This page contains binary image files that allow you to restore your Nexusor Pixel device's original factory firmware. You will find these files usefulif you have flashed custom builds on your device, and wish to return yourdevice to its factory state.


These files are for use only on your personal Nexus or Pixel devices and maynot be disassembled, decompiled, reverse engineered, modified or redistributedby you or used in any way except as specifically set forth in the licenseterms that came with your device.


After taking an Android 13 update and successfully booting the device postupdate, an Android 12 build resides in the inactive slot (seamless updatesfor more information on slots) of the device. The inactive slot contains anolder bootloader whose anti-rollback version has not been incremented.If the active slot is then flashed with a build that fails to boot, thefallback mechanism of seamless updates kicks in and the device tries toboot from the inactive slot. Since the inactive slot contains the olderbootloader, the device enters an unbootable state.


To avoid hitting this state, if you are flashing a Pixel 6, Pixel 6a, orPixel 6 Pro device with an Android 13 build for the first time, pleaseflash the bootloader partition to the inactive slot after successfullyupdating and booting into Android 13 at least once. This can be done byfollowing these steps:


Option 1 (recommended):After a successful boot into Android 13 for the first time, sideload thefull OTA image corresponding tothat build and reboot the device to ensure that both slots have a bootableimage.


Extract the contents of the factory ROM .zip file, identify thebootloader image in the extracted files, and follow the sequence of eventsas listed below to flash the bootloader to both the slots. Substitute thename of the bootloader image with that of your device for the Pixel 6 andPixel 6a.


Flash the Android 13 bootloader to the inactive slot. The following commandis specific to a particular build of a Pixel 6 Pro device. Substitute thename of the bootloader image determined in the first step above, ifdifferent, for the image file name argument.


After flashing the inactive slot bootloader to an Android 13 bootloader,reboot to that slot to ensure that the bootloader will be marked asbootable. Important: Please run the exact sequence of commands as listedbelow. Don't forget to enter the full line fastboot reboot bootloader whenrebooting. Failure to do so may leave your device in an unbootable state.


While it may be possible to restore certain data backed up to your GoogleAccount, apps and their associated data will be uninstalled. Before proceeding,please ensure that data you would like to retain isbacked up to your Google Account.
