Hello, I was trying to root my Samsung galaxy a03s and I have currently encountered a problem. so, the main one is that my EXACT model is a sm-a037U and the only twrp I found is with a "F" at the end and not a "U" so because of that I either wondered if anyone had a twrp for the model with the "U" or if it would be safe to flash the twrp for the "F" model on my U model anyway?
there is no difference. except USA model is locked down. however, it's MediaTek device, so it may unlockable.

You need to unlock the boot loader first. I talked about my problem doing that in the thread that someone asks if there is any custom roms for this model. Search threads for sm-a037u custom roms or the specific post I made will have the model number along with mtkclient

Hi.
I have a problem with my Note. I bought the Korean version of the phone (at leats it should be) but the specifications of the phone are driving me crazy lol
As I said, when I bought it, it should be the Korean version, however the rom running on it is from AT&T (AT&T splash screen, AT&T wifi hotspots in the settings, AT&T phone update and so on). The phone is rooted. When I run a device info app, it’s a mess:
Android version: 2.3.6
Release Codename: REL
CPU ABI: armeabi-v7a
CPU ABI2: armeabi
Hardware: SHV-E160L
Board: MSM8660_SURF
Device: SGH-I717
Display: GINGERBREAD.Jhonms.557419
Model: SAMSUNG-SGH-i717
Product: SGH-I9220
Even though I don’t understand some of this info, there are 3 things that intrigue me. The CPU, I guess it’s from the Korean version, since it seems the AT&T devices have a QUALCOMM processor. But the weirdest part for is the Hardware (SHV-E160L) and the Device and Model (SGH-I717) information. Shouldn’t that be the same in all the information? So my phone is it the AT&T model or the Korean model? The guy who sold it to me told me it was the Korean model but they change something in the ROM to support Chinese (I live in China), and the Korean ROM doesn’t support Chinese. However, I want to put the original Korean ROM because it has the NFC already working, while in the AT&T build I have in my phone, it’s not activated yet. So, anyway can anyone tell me which model I have?
And, if it's the Korean model, how did he put the AT&T ROM on it? I thought you couldn't mess the S7000, SI717, etc model roms?!
Thanks in advance.
This is all correct for an i717 at&t model.
hi,
i am also living in china and i guess i have the same device with yours.
i checked some web sites and they said at&t model doesn't have any physical home button.
but mine has it and the korean model (E160L) has it, too.
so i guess the hardware is from korea but the rom is not the original one.
does your device has '掌界网www_dot_wpcnn_dot_com' in Build number?
if so, it must be the same as mine.
i am thinking whether i can rewrite E160L original rom by modifying some information in build.prop. but i haven't succeeded in doing it because i don't know correct data in E160L's build.prop. (i am thinking samsung kies can update the rom to E160L's one if i fake it to E160L)
this device supports LTE though. i don't know if it's enabled on this device or not.
*#2263# doesn't the menu for it.
and i tried to install CMW (for SGH-I717) by odin3 today. flashing it to the device was ok. but the device cannot get in recovery mode....(infinite loop of booting)
anyway, this rom sucks.

Was anyone able to flash CWM on this? I am also having a loopy-recovery.
AFAIK... CMW = for ENGLISH, FRENCH and SPANISH etc ...languages.... and not set for 128bit character languges (am not sure iof right-correct tech word for chinese kange etc sorry to lazy to look that word up!)
the CMW = for 'western languages' only
Smart for S'sung = KOREAN MODELS = as non western languages .....
((( that they designagted that as "INTERNATIONAL MODEL" phones different MODEL NUMBER to ATT/Rodgers etc )))
There is a thread from one OP = about BOUNTY for making "korean models' able to do CMW + ATT/Roders ROMS etc ,,,,, you can search for there for my comments ..
Cheers , hope this helps towards some explinations of CMW/Drivers etc between two models of NOTE

no, no and no.
If I may have your attention within this Thread, the report system is not for ROM issues .
The report system is for Forum Rule violations, so please do not use the reporting system to identify your ROM/Rooting and or any issues regarding this manner.
Please understand that issues if they can be will be addressed, within the thread. Continue reporting that regarding your ROM issues, will result in abuse of the reporting system.
Thank you.

Yo you can't flash a kdz from a diffrent version to yours. Dont try that. You can't edit the build.prop without root acces <-- no twrp <-- no unlock bootloader. It won't help anyway

I would return that device and get your money back. I honestly don't know how one could even flash the G9650 onto the G965U, as far as I know that should not be possible.
Canadian Note 10+ N975W is unlocked, it is the Snapdragon 855 version.
The US Unlocked Note 10+ model is N975U1, it is also the snapdragon 855 version.
But, recently, the US unlocked model is getting frequent software updates. So, I was wondering can I install the US unlocked firmware to CA unlocked Note 10+?
Has anyone tried that?
Yes you can

WIth ODIN? is there any soft way such as sideload or something like that?
Also, would it change my model number?
Yes ODIN
Get the firmware from sammobile
It will change the model num
I got a used Samsung s9+ but I have a lot of issues. The model is SM-N975f/ds which is for note 10+ everytime I set it up with Google, the response I get is your Samsung note 10+ blah blah blah. while the android version is 11 and 11 is not shown on the android 11 version logo. I don't know if it's snapdragon or exynos. I am unable to share files from my computer.
I realise the phone was root with magisk but I don't know how to unroot it and make it go back to factory rom. Kindly help me
I think I know what custom ROM you're running, you should have an Exynos (however please check what CPU do you have with an app from Google Play Store) and download stock firmware for your model. Then just flash it through Odin and lock the bootloader if you'd like that.
Here's what models of this phone exist:
European model (Exynos): SM-G965F
American model (Snapdragon): SM-G965U
Canadian model (Snapdragon): SM-G965W
Brazil or Chinese model (Snapdragon): SM-G9650

The only effect I see is not having official firmware and being rooted (which does not pass SafetyNet).
