According to tipster Ice Universe, Samsung has disabled Odin, a proprietary firmware flashing tool typically used to install stock firmware, install custom ROMs, and restore devices. It also appears that Samsung has removed “Download Mode,” which acts as a gateway for Odin. This change appears to have been made in the latest One UI 8.5 firmware and currently affects the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and recently launched Galaxy S26 series.
I can recommend the Fairphone for those who appreciate actually owning the device they paid for
How is the fairphone doing these days? I was scared off by the battery life last time i checked it out
Wel that is subjective, but I’m happy with my FP6. ymmv
I also am happy. My battery has never died. It can go days and days it seems.
