Hi dear,
I am from Kerala, India. I have a Samsung J7 Prime SM-G610F from Dubai, but I don’t know the default firmware details as to which region does it belongs to. It has the latest update of 8.1, but it doesn’t have the VOLTE support, so I decided to flash the most recent Indian stock firmware (G610FXXU1CSK1_G610FODI1CSJ1_INS.zip) via Odin. After selecting the four files and clicked the start button, it says Fail, repartition error, PIT file. I tried many times with many versions of Odin but no use. Extracted the pit file from CSC and put it manually but the same fail status. What to do??
Here are my phone’s specs.
Model no: SM-G610F
Android version: 8.1.0
Baseband version: G610FDDU1CSB1
Build no: M1AJQ.G610FDDU1CSB3
Date: Thu Feb 14 KST 2019
Thanks in advance.
Don’t extract the firmware file. Select the firmware zip file in AP and try to flash. If you can’t flash the firmware, Try with the Previous build- G610FDDU1CSF2 (INS).
Ohhh. Is this possible?? Thank you so much for this valuable advice, dear. Let me try out the same this evening when I get home. Thanks for your speedy reply and will post the result too.
Hi, first n foremost, thank you so much. I did flash the previous one, INS, G610FDDU1CSF2, successfully. Now I put Jio sim, and it’s not showing the VOLTE option anywhere in the settings. While selecting the Sim 1, jio, it indicates just LTE Only, LTE/3G/2G, 3G Only, 2G Only, these four options but no VOLTE option. I flashed the Indian firmware only because of getting VOLTE support, as many said before, but now I am depressed with this stage. Can you plz take a look at the firmware and analyze the scenario. Thank you.
Dial *#272*15 Digit IMEI# in the dial pad. Select INS in the Options.
