[Q] Videotron latest firmware (T999VVLUEMK5) - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I usualy get my stuff from here since I feel the source is safer and it is usually tested before it is posted. Videotron and other Canadian operators recently rolled 4.3 on their S3 but the VLUEMK5 firmware is not posted yet on XDA.
I started searching and found it but I dont know the source and dont want to flash it as I dont know what the impact would be. (stock firmware > need to root my device again, brick my device, etc)
Any 1 can confirm if this is a safe source?
samsung-updates . com/device/?id=SGH-T999V

I'd rather go to Sam Mobile's Site. Its the Official release channel as far as I know.

Official USA firmware?

Hi, I unrooted my note 8 GT-N5110 because it was acting all wacky. In searching for instructions on how to unroot (not that many) I wasn't too sure of which was the right official firmware to flash via odin. Though some of the few sites I found on official firmware, they somewhat always pointed me to http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N5110 Now here is where I get confused. They have regions listed (sammobile does as well) but none of them say anything about USA or North America for that matter.
Can someone please tell me what region we are supposed to be using for this tablet (N5110). I ended up flashing the one from region FWD (Morocco) seemed to be the latest and everything is working fine. I did notice that there are two new Samsung apps that weren't on it out of the box ie: Learners Hub and Readers Hub.
My concern is that maybe I'm screwing with my future updates. Again can someone please help me with which is our region (USA).
Thanks in advance.
Try looking on http://www.sammobile.com/
You should be able to find the correct firmware. I flashed back to 4.1.2 for UK region (from 4.2.2)

[Q] Which i9192 modem to use in Europe?

Hi all,
I have a Galaxy S3 already and have been following this forum for a while, but I have never had problems with it as with this one. It's about my Galaxy S4 mini DUOS (i9192). I've bough the phone from an unofficial seller because i9192 was never supposed to be imported in Croatia (EU). The phone came with I9192XXUAMF7 build and modem. Today I've expereinced that the phone was running fine but I couldn't make any calls and nobody could call me untill I've taken out the battery and SIM. It was runnign on one SIM only. Network was OK and signal was full. I' would like to change the modem to see if that's the problem.
My question is - has anyone experienced anything similar or has changed the XXUAMF7 modem? I'm located in Croatia (Europe) and the closest country modem localisation is Ukraine. Should I change it to Ukraine modem?

Thanks for the notice! I have SGS 3 and it has no Knox bootloaders so I'm not familiar with it but from what I've read it's a no no. My original bootloader is stock Samsung. No Knox icons in download mode. I just might try your ROM. Have been reading about it just a few minutes ago.
I've been listing sammobile FWs and it gives me Russian and Ukrainian ROMs. You're suggesting I give one of them "a spin"?

G975U and G975U1 Firmware Links and Flashing Discussion Here

For those who aren't already aware, G975U is the model number of all of the US carrier versions of the S10+. The G975U1 is the model number of the same device, but sold by Samsung SIM unlocked and with no carrier bloatware. Firmware is 100% interchangeable among these models: any U or U1 firmware version can be flashed to any U or U1 device at any time, assuming that you're not trying to downgrade the bootloader. A "U to U" or "U1 to U1" flash does not require a factory reset, but changing from one firmware to the other will require one. Also, U firmware is identical for the 4 base files (AP, BL, CP, CSC) for each individual build, no matter which carrier it comes from. So if you download 2 different carrier versions of the exact same build, the 4 base files will be identical. Where the firmware differs is in the USERDATA file - that's where the carrier bloatware and customizations reside.
Manual Odin flashing is designed for those who:
- want to manually update to a newer version of U firmware on their U device, either because they don't want to wait for their carrier's OTA or because OTAs aren't working on their device, or a different carrier got a new feature/patch before they did
- want to flash U1 firmware to their U device
- want to convert from U1 firmware to carrier U firmware
- want to convert from one carrier's U firmware (with all apps and bloatware) to a different carrier's U firmware (with all apps and bloatware)
For those who aren't already aware, anyone can now download firmware for almost any Samsung device any time that they want, via the various firmware download tools posted here on XDA like SamFirm or Frija. There are threads and info about them here on XDA so I won't waste time explaining - do a search if you're not already familiar with these tools. But they only provide whatever the latest/newest/current version is - nothing older. I pay for a subscription to a site that gets the official releases (usually) before they hit the firmware download tools, so that's where my files come from.
This is not a "beginner's guide to Odin flashing" -type post/thread, so I won't list basic, step-by-step flashing instructions. My threads are geared towards those who already know what they're doing. If you're new to manually flashing Samsung firmware (or haven't done it in a long time), I recommend you consult one of those "beginner's" guides- there are tons of them here on XDA.
Happy flashing!
U firmware: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=290649
U1 firmware: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=290650
Notes:
- I compress extra small for space and bandwith savings. The default Windows extractor can't handle it, so you'll need a 3rd party tool like 7zip, WinRAR, etc
- I remove the .md5 from each file solely for faster flashing (Odin won't check the file integrity without it). Rest assured, the files are perfectly fine and safe - Odin has a million safechecks built in.
- My naming method for folders is: build - bootloader - Android version
So "SAT - 1 - 9.0" means the full build number ends in SAT, it's bootloader version 1, and it's Android 9.0. When bootloader and Android versions increment, the first build to have those changes will have its folder notated appropriately.
- HOME CSC file keeps data intact; using the other CSC will wipe data. Any zips with "wipe" in the title do not have a HOME CSC included.
- I have identical threads for the S10e and S10 as well
- the correct procedure for switching from one carrier's firmware to another is given in post #25
- You can get USERDATAs from SamFirm for everything but AT&T and Cricket- those files will never be on SamFirm. So in addition to the 5 piece firmware, I'll try to always upload one USERDATA per bootloader increment for those carriers.
- For identifying USERDATAS, and to know what region/CSC to use in the firmware download tools if you're downloading yourself:
AIO = Cricket (not available via firmware download tools)
ATT = AT&T (not available via firmware download tools)
BST = Boost Mobile
CCT = Xfinity Mobile (Comcast)
CHA = Spectrum Mobile (Charter)
SPR = Sprint
TMB = T-Mobile
TMK = Metro PCS
USC = US Cellular
VZW = Verizon
XAA = U1 firmware
This is looking great, was about to pre-order the T Mobile variant, when I remembered that they disable the (Data) Quick Toggle and I have to fiddle around to turn it off, Well, Not the case with the Unlocked version, at least on my Note 9. Anyways, this will come in handy, thanks!

Hopefully One UI stays the same. You're welcome
Good to see and will be a good place to hangout! ?
Loved your dedication to uploads on the 9+! Glad to see you here as well! I preodered my ATT 10+ yesterday. Got my mom and two daughters the 10+ / 10e also. Happy to see you'll be providing firmware for the "E" also!
Build SBA added.
Only CCT, VZW, and SPR USERDTAs (for now), but it can be flashed to any S10+
So I flashed this on my new U1 and went to U firmware. My Wifi didn't work after this. I can't connect to any Wifi network... I will try going back to U1 and see if the issue is fixed. Maybe I have a defective phone?

Hmmm that's weird. I'm assuming you wiped?
G975U and G975U1 firmware is now live and downloadable in SamFirm. Getting U1 requires manual entry - Auto will not work. U firmware is up for these carriers:
Xfinity Mobile
Spectrum Mobile
Sprint
T-Mobile
US Cellular
Verizon (have to use Manual entry - Auto will not work)
So going forward, I'll only be adding full builds if I can get them before they hit SamFirm, and only if there isn't build for that month already (eg. I won't add any more February builds since SBA is already up.). I will try to stay up to date on USERDATAs for AT&T and Cricket, since AT&T won't let their firmware be put on SamFirm.
Thank you for this. Just flashed my U1 to TMB SBA for video calling feature.

Not sure what that link is, but U1 is available via the SamFirm tool. I did forget to mention that you have to use Manual input, so i'll edit that part

No. I'm getting them from the place where I get my firmware files from
I have a question and I hope someone can help me. I just purchased a s10 not the plus. And its unlocked which is great but has three UK branding on boot up ect..,
Is it possible to remove this maybe install another rom via oden? And it wouldn't void warranty or enable a security problem on the phone? Any help would be much appreciated
Guessing ATT is late to the party as usual with no ASAB userdata yet? Doesn't appear they've pushed it yet ?

This thread is for U models (Qualcomm). You need to find a thread about the F models (Exynos).

Anyone can flash any update - USERDATA isn't required unless you're changing from U1 to U, or from one carrier to another.

Ah ok. On my S9+ I did some Odin flashing and even though I was on the att release, I wasn't getting OTA's. It was odd. Only way to restore OTA updates was flashing with ATT userdata.
On a side note, ATT has pushed the ASAB update for both the S10+ and the S10E.

Flashing firmware on different model

Hi all,
1- I have S20 ultra G9880 model. But I'm using it in Egypt so my provider csc is different than the firmware's csc. Since then, I never recieved OTA updates although there were multiple updates and I had to download the whole firmware and install it with odin. So is there a way to get OTA updates back to work?
2- I read on some other websites that there is a way to flash firmware from different model (for example G988U) on any snapdragon based model (like the one I had) but this has to be done with a patched Odin so it will ignore the model differences. My question is, is this correct? if so can some one post the link to this patched odin ? or is there another way to flash a firmware of different model but with snapdragon processor in it?
Thanks in advance
I've not heard of this being possible before. But even if it were possible, flashing the firmware for the US model, wouldn't do you any good either, since that firmware doesn't have support for Egypt either. On top of that, the US model supports different bands that your phone doesn't, hence the difference in the modem.

Well, I wanted to install the US firmware mainly to be able to use the One UI 3.0 beta.
If there is another way to install it on my phone without flashing the US firmware then I'd be grateful to know
Sounds like a recipe for a disaster...

Did you flash the same Firmware (CSC) to get OTA's? Samsung sends updates, not your service provider regardless of your location so it's odd you're not receiving them.
On the SM-G9880 there are only 3 FW's compatible for flashing, Hong Kong, Taiwan and China. Android 11, One Ul 3.0 isn't yet available for your device however the Source Code is online. Likely you're better off waiting a bit longer, it should be available for your device by the end of the year.

With respect to updates if you own a PC often times Samsung's Smart Switch platform will distribute these before OTA's become avaliable which eliminates the need to flash your device.

Dont get the softwars Update

I unlock My Note 10+ 5g(At&t) SM-N976U from At&t..But it won't give me software update.. It stuck on anroaid 10 one ui 2..and i live in Bangladesh so i can't use At&t for software update..so how can i update my phone to one ui 3 any solution?? Thanks
You won't get automatic updates outside US.
You can download the firmware and flash it yourself using Odin software tool.
There is plenty of threads in this forum that explain the process.
Latest firmware for your model can be found through this thread.
Flashing is well explained here, although it is for another model so don't flash the firmware referenced there.
All at your own risk. Inform yourself well before starting to flash!
