N976B firmware question - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

Hey guys...I have a Note 10 plus 5G from UK, but I am using it in another country (Romania). We have 5G here as well, so this is not the problem. The firmware on the phone is not the latest, but it doesnt find the new one via OTA. I checked the firmware site and there are the August one there. So the question is, if I upgrade via Odin, with one of those FW, will it lock to an UK carrier? Or a German one, or other? Or will it remain unlocked and no issues there?
Thanks!

If the phone is unlocked. The firmware you install on it will not lock it..

Indeed, thank you, did that, all went fine.

I have a similar question. I have a EE unit note 10+ 5g and was wondering if flashing the UK non ee version with a different CSC from samobile will actually change my phone's CSC or will it still detect it's a ee device and still say EVR/EVR/EVR under service provider information. thanks

note 10+ 5G SM-N976N

Hi,
c
You have to use the same model to flash in Odin. 976B is not 976N.
You can flash the KOO firmware for 976N which is the unbranded version (I bought it myself at a Samsung shop in Seoul).
I tried to flash with 976B and got errors. I flashed with KOO 976N but srill i have brand of KT when i start the phone also some settings of KT.
No idea why KT still stays after flashing

Right, because 976B is not the phone you have. You can't use a different model firmware.
Sounds like you need to change the CSC to KOO after boot up.
I used CSC for KOO byr still no lick
Let me know which CSC maybe i am doing something wrong

You said you flashed KOO firmware. That is not the same thing as switching CSC after booting up.
There is a phone menu to change the CSC. You need to do this, which will change the CSC setting on the EFS partition which is what you need to do.
Woow thank you for that. Now this is new and i didn't know it. Can you help me and let me know where to change CSC.
Thanks

The SM-N976N has 4 CSC options built-in. KOO is the unbranded Samsung code. There are 3 for the 3 major carriers in Korea: SK Telecom, kt Olleh, and LG U+
No I did not change my CSC because I bought my phone in a Samsung store in Seoul.
I have KT one , when i switch one says 5G and under screen KT.
also in setting. I am trying to find the way to change the CSC from KTC to KOO
Active KTC
Edit
Ohhh no way that bad
For me only Samsung pay ,5G, start up the phone, phone can't recognize my number rather than that everything else is perfect.
I am trying to find way to change CSC to KOO, hopefully will work

Do you mean your N10+ doesn't connect to the 5G network even if it's present and working in your zone?
Yes i don't see 5G at all even covered in my country. Always LTE+
Weird.. where are you from?
Our model is 5G, I suppose SM-976B only is suitable for 5G networks over asian countries, hope someone could tell me I'm wrong...

I don't know the specs of the B variant, but my N variant 5g worked in Korea just fine. Haven't been able to test it in the USA yet because T-Mobile doesn't have any 5g towers in my state yet.
In my country, UAE according to bands only N976N working since the are on same 5G band.
N976B isn't working with UAE network (5G). I bought and sold N976B.
Also now N976N is not working coz of carrier, KT from Korea.

I might have the current Australian csc rom with me and hopefully could share it with you but before that....
How do you plan to change it to Australia without changing the csc of watch via combination firmware which, apparently is not available as of now for the 825F model.

I used a combination file from a paid website and it was a wrong file. It bricked my watch and I got it fixed from samsung under warranty. Can you share the firmware you have? Which one is it?

Man I know the paid site all have the wrong combination files. They are cheating and misleading the people that too after taking money. I know what must have happened you flashed a 825U firmware which was listed under 825F section in that website.
Good for you were in warranty. Rest the firmware i had was the same OLB available on that website. So no use.

Anyone running U1 firmware on N975W in Canada?

I live in Canada and have a N975W and want to flash the star wars U1 firmware, but before I do I wanna know what happens when you put a Canadian Carrier sim in?!? Will the U1 CSC have Canadian Carrier info preset? Will I have to manually modify to get things like MMS to work? Or does the U1 firmware have Canadian stuff preloaded that gets triggered with the Sim card?
Thanks
Nobody?
Exynos

The American CSC does not contain information for Canadian carriers. After you flash the American U1 firmware, flash the Canadian CSC. There is only one CSC for Canada, and it contains information for all the Canadian carriers (Bell, Rogers, Telus, etc.). After flashing the Canadian CSC, when you insert a SIM from a Canadian carrier it applies the settings for your carrier's VoLTE, wi-fi calling, APN, etc.
If you flash Canadian CSC after flashing full U1 firmware will it not effect the U1 firmware? The CSC file is so large I'm wondering how it will effect the U1 firmware. Anyone do this yet? Do I need to use modified Odin?
Have you done this? Does flashing a different CSC effect the firmware?
---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ----------
I would appreciate any input from someone who has tried this please. I really want to flash the star wars Android 10 for U1 on my 975W but am afraid that CSC will be different and not sure If flashing CSC from a different firmware will work as the file is so big.
if it doesnt work, you just flash back to stock firmware and csc.
just make sure its for the same processor.
OK, so, I flashed first Star Wars Android 9 version of U1 firmware to test and it works perfectly. Booted up with Canadian carrier sim and it loaded all APN settings. Everything works perfectly.
Flashed Android 10 version of Star Wars U1 firmware and its all good.
So you can load U1 firmware on N975W unlocked version. Same hardware and works in both countries. Do not even need Canadian CSC.
Do not load the HOME CSC file. It will wipe everything but its worth it. Firmware is solid and beautiful.
By flashing unlocked firmware, did you get rid of any carrier bloatware?
Can I ask you guys an info? I own N975u1, on first boot It haven't Greek language and I choose it later at setting. Does N975w on first boot has Greek language? So I install N975w firmware to solve my problem?(some settings remains in English).
975W is Canadian model and i have it on my note 10+ with carrier esk or eastlink if you wish to know what carrier esk stands for. If you are trying to get your phone to show Greek language I do not believe the 975w firmware would be a good choice. It lets you select which country you are from when you start up a freshly formatted phone but I have never selected any language other than Canada which is English. Just thought I would let you know that my model is also a Snapdragon chipset and I don't know if you can Flash another firmware unless you unlock Bootloader and I do not know if that is possible currently on a Snapdragon chipset Note 10.

The only phones with an unlockable bootloader are the N9750 (chineese variant) and Exynos models.
Can you please be more specific with what you are looking for within regards to firmware. Other then the information/answers posted in the first page of this thread I saw this thread, but depending on what your looking for specifically the post may not be of any help.
Also be aware that if you want to retain full compatibility with Virgin then you shouldn't go messing around with the firmware. Flashing other firmware (especially for US models) can result in things not working the way they would normally.

OK, so only the exynos version of my phone is oem unlockable? I am just trying to be able to root my phone, i figured if I could flash an oem unlocked firmware while keeping my carrier then I would be able to do so.

Only firmware for OEM UNLOCK switch in developer menu is exynos models. I found other sites on the net stating SM-N975W Snapdragon can be bootloader unlocked but i tried them all and none worked. DO NOT flash exynos firmware on Snapdragon model as you may ruin your phone or void warranty. Luckily mine still shows official and knox counter didn't get tripped. Sorry, wish I had better news 4 ya.

SM-G9880 Flashing Question

I recently just bought a S20 Ultra that has a unlockable bootloader. A little while back, I had a Galaxy S9 that I could completely convert the entire device to U1. Is that even possible with this device ? To fully convert the CSC and bootloader ect, to a US model ?

That was then. Each model is specific to a region and can not be flash with software from another region. I.E you cannot flash G9880 with firmware from G988U or G988U1 or the other way around.
What exactly changed from the S9 to the S20 that made that impossible ?

Any luck? I just got one in Canada and it only has 3g ad 4g so I was hoping I could flash a csc file.
So I attempted to edit the band config using QPST and QXDM, but I'm very unfamiliar with both programs and how to actually read and write information to the modem using those programs. Definitely not for the average user. Back in the days when devices had ESN numbers, I used to flash software using QPST and QXDM but there is a lot that has changed with those programs, and I wouldn't even know how to do that stuff today. If anyone has any knowledge about those two programs that can help me unlock all the US 5G bands for AT&T and Verizon that would extremely helpful.

S20+ AT&T unable to update software

Hi All,
I'm new in this firmware things. I'm from Singapore and has been using S20 Exynos, but due to the extreme heat, bad battery life,etc. I've decided to import S20+ Snapdragon from AT&T, according to the Service provider SW ver information, it's showing as SAOMC_SM-G986U-OYN_ATT_QQ_0023 (I believe this means the set are unlocked).
With that said, I noticed that the software is outdated and the security patch level is on February 1,2020. when I referring to the AT&T website, It's showing as the latest software is QP1A.190711.020.G986USQU1ATE6 (June update) and mine still on QP1A.190711.020..G986USQU1ATAW (February). My CSC is G986UOYN1ATAW.
My question now is, whenever I tried to hit the software update, it's keep telling me that my software is up to date. Is there's a reason why it's wont detect the update? If it's because I'm in Singapore not US, then there's no choice that I need to flash using the firmware from Sammobile. The problem is which one that I need to download as AT&T carrier is not listed there. There's only T-mobile, Sprint, Unknown, USA. Please help.

All of them for that model S20, you just need to match the model, any region will work fine
Hi,
Are you sure I can flash Verizon firmware into AT&T device? CSC may to match?
