S10 and Odin

[jostian]

Just got a S10 via Vodacom, first thing I do is flash XFE or XFA to get rid of the Vodacom stuff and more importantly to get access to SpO2 in Health which Vodacom disables. But no matter how many times I flash XFE with Odin, shows success and all is green but when I put the phone on it is still on XFV (Vodacom), any advice, am using latest Odin 3.13.3.

Did you remove your sim card when flashing?

Did you remove your sim card when flashing?

Will try that right now, thanks.
edit: Nope no go, still shows XFV and starts installing vodacom apps without SIM in...?

Xfv / xfe and xfa all fall under same csc now.

Ok thanks, so if I want SpO2 I'll need to download a European version I guess?

Not sure. I have tried dbt, xeu, and even a slovakian csc but goes back to vodacom. Have heard if you can get an active german sim it could possibly work

ok just tried BTU and still remains XFV (Vodacom) so clearly Samsung and/or Vodacom have blocked the one way we could get the functionality which they see fit to remove, just ridiculous, no idea why functionality is offered and then by those who dont even own the phone, and they dont allow the owners to change it, should they choose!!

Have you checked if you can't enable it in the build.Prop file? You might need to be rooted to do this?

Yes need root, only work around is i found a SpO2 so that uses the sensor and takes a reading.
