Hello! I want to flash my m30s version 3070, but I can’t unlock bootloader and cant flash with the Indian version. Can you send me instructions on how to unlock the bootloader without Knox? Thank you very much.
You can’t flash the Other region versions in Chinese Variant. It can be done only in the International “F” variant. The Processor is the same. But, Due to some firmware coupled with the hardware, We can’t do this.
Hallo, suche Firmware für M30s, mit Gespräch Aufzeichnung. Die Einstellung unter den 3 Punkten im Telefon fehlt bei mir. Es sollte aber auch deutsch Sprache enthalten.
Nach dem Pie-Update können Sie ohne Rooting keine Anrufe mehr aufzeichnen. Möglicherweise sind einige Apps verfügbar. Aber sie haben nicht wie erwartet funktioniert.
Hallo, danke für die schnelle Antwort. Das heißt wenn ich das M30s rooten, dann kann Anrufe wieder aufnehmen. Hab ich das richtig verstanden?
Ja. Wenn Sie als Root angemeldet sind, können Sie den Call Recorder auf Root-Ebene verwenden.
Is it possible to enable the Samsung dex function on Samsung m30s? Or Are there any programs to running? Thank you very much.
It does not support Samsung Dex. You can use some third-party apps If you have a rooted device.
Hello! I have Samsung m30s china version 6+128 GB 3070,
I want to flash international firmware, can you advise me a suitable version thanks.
Flashing different model number may not work. But, Due to the same chipset, the working possibility is high. You can try with the International “F” variant.
Thank you very much, Can F firmware affect the network? Because in the Chinese version include TD-LTE, will it not change IMEI and 4g LTE?
And do you have a modified firmware? It has can you send the link?
You can use regular official firmware.
Surely It will affect the Bandwidth. Based on your Current Region and your Mobile Operator frequency, Choose the correct firmware.
Hi Selva,
Thank you for your guidance. I think your advice may be based on another model, not M30s. On my SM-M3070, after pressing the Volume + plug the USB cable, the screen shown is a little different, it says Volume + is to lock bootloader and factory reset, while Volume – is to unlock bootloader and restart.
I select Volume + and reset the phone. Then I do it again and select Volume -, the phone reboot to the interface like a new one (i.e., it asks you to do some initial settings). Then I powered off the phone and tried again:
1, If I start the phone by pressing Volume + and Volume – and pluging cable, and entering the Downloading mode, there will be a lot of information on the screen, says the OEM lock is off, and so on. I noticed that there is “Secure Download: Enable” in the report. Nothing happened to the downloading after I press the Start in Odin.
2, If I start the device by pressing Volume + and Power, it goes into a downloading mode without information except for the “Downloading Mode,” and the flashing process failed again, same as the above failure, has no progress on the progressing bar.
So I can’t change the region firmware. If you know how to change, could you write another article?
Thank you very much again.
Thank you for your detailed feedback. First of all, I Think you already unlocked your Bootloader. Because you have to set up the device like new, if anything wrong with the OS, you should get a message like Error. But, You didn’t even connect your mobile with ODIN. I advise you to double-check the Bootloader unlock and try with the latest version of ODIN. You should remove all locks on your mobile. Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlock, try after this if you face any problem, comment again.
Hi friend,
I also have the Chinese version (M3070) and wanna change to another region’s version (M307F) to use Google freely, but I failed with a “secure check fail (bootloader)” error. Have you succeeded in changing your phone?
All of the Samsung mobiles work freely with different Region, Within Model Number. But sometimes the same processor can work well with varying numbers of the model. If you consider other mobiles, “F” model versions can work well with “N/K/S.” But, It will different depend on the device. Due to you are in the china region, maybe the problem occurs.
Thank you very much for the prompt response, Selva. I feedback here to your comments above.
First, I’m sure that the bootloader was unlocked because the phone warned me when it reboot. I Have tried ODIN, ODIN showed the device connected, but after I pressed the “start” button, it did not flash the M307F firmware into the phone. The downloading progress bar on the phone has no progress; even I waited for several minutes. So I have to press the power and Volume + to cancel the flashing. I tried two M307F firmware, one for India and the other for Indonesia, neither worked.
I have been using Samsung phones for eight years, and rooted phones/ flashed modified firmware before, so have some experience with the operations. I guess my M3070 may think M307F is a different model, so the M307F firmware is not suitable, And there is a “Secure Download: Enable” lock, which I mentioned yesterday. But I don’t know how to unlock this lock.
Chiang’s market is enormous, but also very different from other countries — in fact, everything is different in China — so Samsung tends to provide unique products here, although I think M3070 has the same hardware with M307F. I’ll try to find the answer for the “Secure Download: Enable” lock and will come back to share it with you if I see it.
Thank you again.
Thank you for the detailed information as per your details. In new devices, Samsung added a lot of security measures. In Industrial Samsung phones, Even if you Root and Remove Bloatware apps, They will come back again. And It is hard to Root due to Knox Security. So, This model number is not like International “F” or other model numbers. Where we can flash the different region firmware within the same model number, if I find any solutions regarding this, I will surely contact you.
Thank you very much for a prompt response. I feedback your two comments here.
I Have connected the phone to ODIN, but the flashing of M307F firmware failed. Odin showed the phone was connected. Still, the downloading progress bar had no progress after I pressed the “start” button in ODIN, even I waited for it for several minutes, and there was no failure information both on the phone or in ODIN. I’m sure the bootloader was unlocked.
But I think this time, the M3070 has the same hardware as the M307F. I’ll try to research how to unlock the “Secure download: Enable” lock. If I find out, I will come back to share it with you.
Thank you again, Selva.
Sure…:) Thank you.
Got it. Thank you, Selva.
Sorry for sending twice because I cannot see my post yesterday, so I wrote again.
Good luck.
No Problem..:)
I got an OTA update today for my M30s, after which my sim card is not getting detected. I tried putting other sim cards as well. still not working. Can I flash this ROM(below from samfrew using ODIN? Please explain if any additional steps
INS M307FXXU1ASJ2 + M307FODM1ASJ1 [ Android Pie ] 2019-10-21 #16733406
Or is there anything else I can do to solve this sim detection problem?
ODIN installation is a clean method. But, Before this, Try With Samsung SmartSwitch and Repair the firmware.
Hi friend, do you have a clipboard in the Samsung Keyboard?
Open Keyboard in Messages. Long Press Task Manager Key. You will find settings Icon. Enable Tools bar in Settings Icon. After that, You will find the ClipBoard in the Tools Section. If you can’t find it again, Press the Down arrow in the Toolbar. Maybe the Clipboard is hidden in the menu.
