hey thanks for replying so quick, so if I was on sprint firmware, and wanted to try any of the others, does that mean I can only go one direction? like once I'm off sprint I cant go back, or are there ways I can get back to my original sprint firmware?

You can with a unlocked bootloader. But to go back to Sprint you need the official firmeware which they do not provide to the public.... I have a G7 had it unlocked, different firmware installed. Had no service, . Tried to flash another firmware and ended up wiith a hard brick.. Got it back to the first unofficial sprint firmware, then had to have Sprint reflash the official firmware for the phone.. What's nice the bootloader is still unlocked.. Right now I would not even try anything. Best bet is to return if able, and buy a already unlocked version, so long as you can use it with sprint.

Man I just bricked the phone, first I tried flashing G710EM using LGUP and Partition DL (Select All) it failed almost immediately, after rebooting the phone it booted straight to Firmware Upgrade mode. Then, I got G710N20f, also tried to flash it using Partition DL (Select all), this time it failed at more than 70% step BackupGPT, now when I reboot the phone, I get the LG logo but after the screen turns to whitenoise like, it seems like it is still in Firmware Upgrade as I can still connect to it using LGUP.
Any ideas how to unbrick it? :crying:

Are you sure it is firmware (bootloader unlcok)? or sim unlock, there is a difference.. If you did a bootloader unlock you will get a waring saying. "Warning your software can not be check or is corrupt, please relock the bootloader". If you don't have this kind of message of this sort, then you just had it sim unlocked.

im just going by the ebay listing. It states"Your phone will be converted to a unlocked firmware version and that i can no longer receive ota updates".
My software version is G710ULM11e and my build number is OPR1.170623.032 and im on security patch level july 1, 2018 and android 8.0. When i go to the update center to check for a software update it states im using the latest version for my phone.
I did try a prl update and update device config and it states profile cant be updated. SprintDM notification shows that it trying update mobile network. it comes on and off every 3 mins or so.
I hope this is enough information to go off of! If you need me more information , please tell.
Also I did contact sprint via chat and they stated i could get my firmware back to stock but its 2 about 2 hours away from my city . itll be a like a whole day trip for me since i don't drive and would have to take a bus. I would love to avoid that.
Thanks!

that problem with the Sprint DM trying to connect every couple minutes is a huge problem with the bootloaders be unlocked you will have to go to Sprint and have them do it it takes about 30 minutes because right now there is no firmware available for Sprint anywhere on the internet. when I get a break from my new job I am going to try and install TWRP on my device and if I do it successfully I will be able to upload some firmware but that's not guaranteed.

I went to sprint yesterday and the rep turned me down the moment I answered no whether I had insurance or not for the phone. I'll just port my number to a gsm carrier and use my G7 there.

Whether you had insurance on the phone or not should not have mattered. Sprint should have flashed the firmware, cuz that's their damn job. They asked me the same question I told them no and they still flash the firmware.

You have to be assertive or act completely aloof. If you are a paying Sprint customer, they will reset/reflash your phone. If no one in your immediate area can help you out, maybe you can mail the phone to someone who can get it serviced (heh I'd happily do it for free but hopefully there is someone a bit tech savvy in your own social network).
sm-g975u unlocked att phone wanting to change to tmobile. I have a tmobile sim and had originally plugged this in. The phone works fine but I recently noticed it has no Ota updates occurring. I would like to load tmobile firmware on it to enable some of the tmobile features as well but primary concern is ota updates.
the service provider sw ver.
SAOMC_SM-G975U-OYN-AT-PP-0033
ATT/ATT/ATT
BUILD NUMBER
PPR1.180610.011.G975USQS1ASD9
Ap/CP:G975USQS1ASD9
Csc:G975UOYN1ASD9
Last update may 2019
When I try says fully updated when I put it on samsung switch it says fully updated
Can this be done?
What firmware do you suggest?
Csc *#272imei#(may have that wrong) but is recognized and does work not sure when and what to use here, many options.
Also, not sure of the answer here, but if I run an update or csc change (the phone is unlocked) would it require me to unlock it again for any reason?
I am trying to get the phone close to a tmobile if that is possible
Thank you in advance if i need to give more info please let me know.
Download the firmware of your current network and flash you will begin to receive updates. However you can also flash the unbranded one which is G975U1 and you will still receive updates too
Can you give directions on how to get the firmware for the current network and how to flash the phone? I have an SM-G975U that is on SPR that I need to get to ATT so it will get updates from cricket. I have found a lot of materials on the internet and not a single one shows all of the steps clear enough for me to risk blowing up my phone. I have found the SPR files and TMK, and USA, and TMB, but no ATT.
Hello everyone.
I just bought what I thought it was an unlocked S20 Ultra over the internet and, nevertheless my sim card form my country works well (Im from México) the OTA updates dont work.
The last security update it has is from March 2020 and I have checked the system update option but it says that my phone is up to date.
I have seen that maybe that the most recent update can be forced using Odin but I dont know what firmware to download for my model so it can be updated regularly via OTA as I only have found firmware options for another USA Carriers that I dont have, and Im scared to brick it for choosing the wrong one.
Curiously enough, the phone model and IMEI correspond to the AT&T USA variation, however, the start up screen doesnt show up any AT&T logo and the phone doesnt have any bloatware from any carrier. So Im not sure if the phone was already flashed with some fw?
The model that it displays is SM-G988U and the S/W is G988USQU1ATBN'
Hope you can help me to have updates on my phone.
Thanks!

Your device is a US Branded Variant, most likely Verizon/ATT. Go to Settings, About Phone, Software Information, Service Provider Software Version. On the bottom row the last three letters will verify which carrier is branded. If it is in fact AT&T you can download the appropriate fw here. Be sure to select the appropriate carrier in the drop down menu but be aware AT&T typically doesn't offer it's firmware to be accessed online.

You MAY need to be on AT&T's US Network to receive OTA Updates but you should have no problem making and receiving calls and texts in Mexico.

Thank you. I just checked and the last three letters are indeed ATT. That means that most likely I cant have fw updates or OTA updates as they dont offer their fw online? Searched on the website yu gave me but there is no ATT carrier option

You're most welcome. Verizon is in the drop down menu and since they've merged with AT&T it should be the appropriate FW but it doesn't load after selecting it which reflects AT&T's ongoing efforts to block updates outside of it's proprietary platform. If you're unable to access AT&T's network inside the US the other options are downloading the FW on Samsung's Smartswitch app or acquiring it on ATT/Verizon website. Good luck!
Hi all. I am from Singapore and I have gotten a s22 off an online platform here only to discover it is a USA set.
The csc is S901UOYN2AVE4
I am unable to get ota updates and am still stuck with a may 2022 android 12 update while checking updates shows as up to date.
I have some questions after doing a Google search.
1) will I be able to get ota updates? Does this mean I have to somehow change to csc and is this possible?
2) if it is not, do I have to update manually thru Odin patched? Given the above csc, can anyone guide me as to which firmware can I use? I see there are many different ones from different carriers like Verizon or t mobile
Thanks in advance!
were you able to find a solution? I am also facing the same issue
None so far.
Have you guys tried smartswitch?
hello! I have also researched a bit & came to this conclusion. The device was possibly under a carrier (such as ATT or Verizon) from the US. Although it's unlocked and you can use any sim card but you won't receive any updates unless you use the sim card of that particular carrier. You can install the latest firmware using ODIN tool yourself by downloading firmware based on CSC region code. You can youtube to find the specific CSC region of your phone. Please let me know if you find any other solution. & also please let me know what 'service provider software version' is on your device. you can find it at About phone>Software Information

I have managed to flash it with the right software and get it to update ota. To test this I flashed a older android 12 firmware and it manages to update to android 13 ota.
Follow the steps in this thread closely and you will be good. Use the unlocked u1 version firmware.

Just to confirm one thing, My CSC is S901UOYN2AVE4 and AP/CP/BASEBAND is S901USQU2AVE4. Csc is basically same as you.
But my service provider software version is SAOMC_SM_S901U_OYN_GCF_12_0002
GCF/GCF, GCF/XAA.
Will it alright to flash u1 unlocked firmware to the device? This software version shouldn't be an issue right?
