Thanks for sharing your experience and recommendations! The only concern I have with Honor is that I might not be able to use google apps\services. The ban includes Honor or is only for Huawei?

So I'm looking for a smartphone that would last for few years with minimum or no issues. My criteria and the spec. I look for are: Battery life: A phone that would last +5.5 hours SoT; I'm a casual user just need it for browsing, social media, reading, watching movies, calling.. etc. Doesn't...

So an update: I downloaded the firmware again from two different sources (samloader and Samfw and I got four files in it. Weird right :\ ? But, the problem is there is only CSC file and not HOME_CSC... I was also watching some videos online lately and I saw some people flashing the mobile...

Thanks for the suggestion, I would rather try all other options I have than removing my data. What do you think about Samloader? Is it safe to use?

wouldn't this remove my data?

so I followed your instruction, the result is the same, I got a single file from Frija ending with md5 after extracting the zip file. I can't open the md5 file... One thing I noticed in the video you provided is that the phone model (SM-N9208) used in the video is different than mine. Also, if...

I simply put my phone model SM-N920C in mobile model box, my country code in CSC box and ticked the auto box and clicked download. The firmw was downloaded and automatically decrypted. I extracted the file and it had only one file ending with ".._HOME.tar.md5" I added ".zip" to the end of the...

weird, so does this mean I downloaded incomplete firmware? The tool is designed to grab firmware from Samsung servers, it was suppose to download it directly from there. Should I download it from somewhere else? When I enter download mode, I have FRP Lock : ON, does this mean my data is already...

I assume they separated the file to these files with the newer devices, mine is old. This is the only logical reason I can think of.

I'm using Windows PC. I also have Linux.

I downloaded from samfrew site and frija tool as well, same result. Yes I used 7zip to extract them.

thanks for the swift reply. It seems like the zip file only contains one big file with md5 extension, what I did was I changed it's extension to zip and was able to view files inside. But, they're more than 5 files and aren't the (BL,AP,CP ...etc) files?

So I downloaded the firmware but it's only one big file with(md5) extension, how can I flash it with home csc? Regarding eMMC someone suggested that it can be done by wedging a small piece of cardboard between the board and frame and the device might boot. What do you think?

You mean if I try flashing it using odin and use "home" in csc slot and if it didn't work, it might wipe my data? This is what you mean by gamble? I've also been told that it could be due to eMMC failure and if I disassemble device and fix it the device might run temporary. I'm trying to figure...

So it's not possible to recover the data without formatting\factory resetting it? There isn't a way to fix this without loosing data? Can I only flash system partition without removing data?

so all of sudden when I was trying to use my note 5 (unroot), I noticed that it was powered off and I couldn't power it on with power button. Can you please tell me if there is a way I can recover data on my phone without losing them? I also have Google Authenticator which is connected to many...
