android 10 for tab s6 canada

question for CHMedia and all,

why hasn't samsung made available android 10 to canada if it's the same file already released to other countries?

also, can I simply flash the AP alone?

sammobile shows two different flashing instructions.

thanks!

thanks.

I'm coming from that thread.

I'm a bit confused. The firmware is ready, so what tests are pending?

Just flash this https://1drv.ms/f/s!Av9nrwh43L-agoRfPDPbJ01k7jT0Rg

As to why it's taking so long, I have no definitive answer to offer. They want other markets to test it, probably.

if I flash the three files, will ODIN do a factory reset?

You must have done something wrong then. It did not wipe my tablet when I did it

I used the AP file only, which was succesfully flashed according to ODIN.
however, the tablet didn't like it, as you can see in attached screenshot.
I reboot the tablet only to see it get stuck in a screen with a warning that the upgrade failed. It also said I had to use the Emergency Software Recovery option of Smart Switch on a PC!

to my horror, that didn't work because smart switch did not recognize my tab s6. I was afraid it was bricked...

but there's a happy ending. I tried Odin again but this time with the three files you provided. The flash and update were succesful.

next step now is TWRP.... :)

I'm not sure why you didn't use all the files at once. It would have saved you a lot of trouble

because of sammobile's two options. I tried the AP single file frst.

But that's only valid for Binary Nature files. Those are old files. All new firmwares are multi-part files.
