Well, seems like it's the end of the road for this endeavor ... With nothing to lose I tried flashing it with a slightly older image from another region and the phone would not boot. I re flashed the "proper" image and the phone returned to it's "booting-but-not-fully-loading-state", right...

I just watched a video of someone downgrading an A52 (IIRC) from 13 to 12 and he stated that pertty much the only thing to be cautios about was using the same "bit" version because a different bit would make the process refuse to run. He was using Odin and SamFw...

oh, dang!.. well, just a final idea before I give up: I was wondering about trying to downgrade the OS... could that have any chance? But then it seems there is no good candidate for this phone: for what I just read, since it has "bit 5" (?) (baseline is"315GDXS5DXA1") it would require a...

Hi ! I've ran the process, this is where I am now: - The log panel says everything was correct. "All threads completed. (Succeed 1 / failed 0)" - The upper panel has it's first "block" in green with a "PASS!" message. - The phone went though a process that finished with a message "Optimizing...

So glad to hear that! Thank you! I was getting these notifications at the spam folder but I've 8hopefully) corrected that now. So, I redownloaded the apps in case they were updated in the meantime, and I have with me the phone and an USB cable with which I'm able to access using ADB. How...

Hi! I apologize for not getting back at you when you replied, life has been a roller-coaster this past months and this got pushed to the side. I've got those packages now. I you are still willing to give me a hand I will really appreciate it. If not, any pointers in the right direction will be...

Hi everyone! My Galaxy A31 is not working properly, abd my guess if that an update failed and the launcher got corrupted or something along those lines. Basically it's stuck in "the phone is statrting". I've read somewhere (but I can't find the link now) that having ADB access I could...
