Not officially but as usual people will share the update files on here so anyone can unofficially be part of the beta with any carrier supported by the multi csc.

For U model: OYN
ATT, BSC, CCT, CHA, GCF, SPR, TMB, TMK, USC, VMU, VZW, XAA, XAS
For U1 model: OYM
ACG,AIO,ATT, BSC, CCT, CHA, GCF,LRA, SPR, TFN, TMB, TMK, USC, VMU, VZW, XAA, XAG, XAR, XAS
The firmware packages are released with the csc's (carrier specific software) included so switching carriers is as simple as swapping the sim and rebooting.

basically wat hes saying is the devices are almost identical n use the same keys so once beta is out someone can pull the update and others could flash it.. like its always been lol

Thanks for helping clear that up a little. I guess thats the short version. Just trying to show the why part. Lol
There's probably a slight chance there would be signal issues but there shouldn't be that many changes between 9 and 10 with the new setup.

For anyone concerned on Verizon about the beta, I can confirm that the tmobile beta found at this thread works. No CSC headache needed. All I did was put the update on an SD card and run it through recovery. Personally, I did not clear data but, with anything beta it is suggested to clear possible bugs. As far as service, my phone booted up fine and the phone ran as if it were on a regular verizon pie firmware.
*IF* you are receiving the notorious adb sideload issue that I ran into as well (I didn't root my phone but, I have a feeling when I granted xda navbar permissions, it may have triggered something), simply move the update to a micro sd and update that way. I don't know if it'll require it in the future as well (I'm assuming the update would destroy modified system files) but, for now it works.
If any of you have any questions regarding the update, I'd be more than happy to answer them and please give a special thanks to goofwear on his thread for providing us with the beta!

Is that the latest update on your carrier? I can't remember what mine was before I did the beta but, I was on the latest verizon firmware before the beta.

I think yes it is.

Latest for U model is BSI4 or BSIA depending on carrier. BSI4 is required if using update zip from on here.
Edit: corrected BSIE to BSIA
Sent from my SM-G975U1 using XDA Labs

So i need to update to BSI4 and then update zip?

Download either the U or the U1 version.
For a U phone
You must be on U BSI4 to update to the ZSJ8 Android 10 Beta. This is the Verizon version.
For a U1 phone
You must be on U1 BSIC to update to the ZSJA Android 10 Beta. This is the AT&T version.
Note : You can load via Odin any S10+ rom you like since all the S10+ are the same now. It will set up properly by the SIM card you have in it.
Once you have downloaded the respective file, rename it to update.zip. Then copy the update.zip file to your external SD card.
Once you have it on your SD card, restart your phone to the stock recovery. You do this by hitting restart twice and then hold down the bixby button and volume up. Don't let go until you see the recovery menu.
Once in recovery use the volume down button to highlight "Apply update from SDcard". Use the power button to select it. Next you will shown the files on your SD card. If you you put Update.zip on the root of your card, it will be the first file listed. Highlight the update.zip by moving to it with the volume down button.
Then select the update.zip withe the power button.
It will go through the installation and reboot.
You do not have to factory reset to do an update like this. The ROM will reset your apps to the new version number. That doesn't mean they will all work properly. For more info on what doesn't work go here.. https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10...-beta-t3983463
Don't forget this is a beta ROM and you are testing it out.

Yes it is. Both BSI4 and BSIV are on the same boot loader. You can go back to BSI4 by downloading the firmware using Frija etc and Odin.

Note 4 on Page Plus - how to safely acquire official OTA updates?

I've searched and looked at a couple of guides, etc. but am still unsure: How can I get my Verizon Note 4 up to date with latest Marshmallow? I have seen some guides that say that flashing the official rom will lock the bootloader - I'm assuming this isn't a problem for Page Plus?
My phone is from ebay, but unmodified as far as I can tell.

Since you're not going to get an OTA the way I would do it is to drop this file (Thanks, hsbadr!) on your SD card, boot into recovery and flash the update.zip. You can do the same with this file (thanks again, hsbadr!) to bring yourself up to date. The second file is the monthly Android security update. That will leave you with a locked Marshmallow bootloader. If it is your intention to unlock a Marshmallow bootloader, that is not how I would do it.
This is how I would do it. Follow the directions closely.

Thanks for being so helpful. I have flashed custom roms, rooted, etc with other phones, but I don't have plans for this one just yet. I suppose it's best to have the option in the future. I saw a thread with links to the OTA upgrade files - can they be downloaded and upgraded manually?

Use the first two links I gave you, drop the files one at a time starting with the first one, boot into recovery and chose the option that says something about update. Then drop the second file on the sd card and do the same thing.
If you decide to unlock the bootloader, you'll need to downgrade to 5.1.1 in ODIN. If you want an unlocked Marshmallow bootloader, you'll have to do the unlock process twice.

unbrand verizon phone

its possible to do it like on the s7.. where you can flash the us unlocked firmware (g935u) on a branded phone like g935V
I'm hoping so. I do not have the s8+, but I've read all US models share the same model #, with a U at the end.

yesterday i try to flash the generic US fimrware, the 4 files flashed succsesfully., but when the device reboots send me to recovery, make wipes and reboot and stills verizon. not sure what i do wrong. hopping a someone have success and share it with us. i use odin 3.12.3 and download the fimrware from the samfirm exe you can find here.. using the phone model sm-g955u using regio csc USC
I hope so. Maybe we'll just have to wait until someone uploads the stock version from a Samsung direct version, or find a way to avoid the Verizon boat and blocks. I miss the built in caller ID.
Updating here, it seems that Best Buy is selling the unlocked Snapdragon version in stores now. Does anyone know how to extract the firmware from the phone? If someone could link a tutorial I could try going into a store and extracting it for us.
Nevermind I just saw it was a pre-order, expected at the end of this month.

Guys, download the Canadian XAC and Verizon VZW firmware from updato site. Follow these steps to have an unbranded Verizon S8+. Make sure you use the Prince version of Odin to flash.
I have Verizon S8+ with no bloat, working scloud and called id.
1) New vzw S8, didn't set it up, just skipped all steps.
2) Activated dev mode and used "adb reboot bootloader" to go into download mode
3) Flashed XAC firmware with non HOME_CSC
4) Set up phone normally; however, for security I only enabled pin + require pin on reboot. Enabled dev options again
5) Used adb reboot bootloader to get into download mode and flashed HOME_CSC only
6) Restarted and used *#2263# to get into the band selection menu, tapped enable all bands and hit apply
7) adb reboot bootloader and flashed VZW firmware, but used HOME_CSC for the csc file.
8) It takes about 3-4 minutes to reboot after entering pin for decryption
That resulted in the S8 being XAA/VZW/VZW with everything working properly
Additional info here. Start at post 653.

I read this but saw later in the thread he said he couldn't get signal working or edit his APN settings.
I took a leap of faith and tried it. Everything looks and feels like the stock unlocked version. Texts, calls and LTE are working just fine when I flashed as described. Thanks!

Glad it works for you. I've had no issues at all with it. FYI, if you ever want to get back to stock VZW, just factory reset in settings and everything will revert to stock Verizon.

I did and all seems to be working great minus one side effect. Video calling in advanced calling is greyed out. I very rarely use this but is worth pointing out. I haven't yet tried calling vzw customer service to see if it can be enabled.
But do have scloud support, called id and places tab on dialer. Also note have the auto reboot function in settings.

Yes, that's correct. The U version of the s7 edge did not have video calling either. I use Facebook messenger or duos anyway because I don't know which contacts use Verizon.

I think it's also worth noting that I had the advanced display color control before I flashed the VZW firmware, but was back to the non-advanced control after. I'm sure this is because the vzw firmware is an early release. Maybe once updato site gets a newer firmware it can be flashed and see if we can get the latest vzw fixes.

No OTA update after converting Unlocked to TMB

I converted my unlocked US Note 10+ to T-Mobile. I am not receiving any OTA updates. My phone says that I am on the current software with December 1st Security patch.(the package I flashed in Odin) SL8 There is a January update available SLB but my phone doesn't see it. I know I can just manually flash it but it's kind of inconvenient. Anyone else able to pull updates after converting? In the T-Mobile app my device shows as "Unknown device" so I'm not sure if I should go back to the unlocked US firmware or try to figure if I goofed along the way. Thanks for any help.

Did you use the non home csc when (and do the factory data reset after successfully) flashing the phone with T-Mobile firmware?
If you didn't then that can cause the issue your having with OTA.
Yeah I did that. I'll back up my data and flash the old update, factory reset, and then see if it'll pull the latest update. Thanks. I've read where a couple of people are having issues with ota updating
I brought my Sprint Note 9 to TM. I didn't flash anything, but couldn't get OTA updates. I know I could have flashed TM, but I was lazy. I called my TM experts. They called Samsung. Samsung looked up to see where the nearest Samsung tech was. It was at a Best Buy. She was in the Geek Squad area. She evidently flashed the TM firmware. After that I was able to get the TM OTAs. There was no charge for this. I happily upgraded to the 10+ 5G when TM got it. I love it! It also came with Android 10 on it.

This is normal since you brought your own device and didn't purchase it from T-Mobile.

Your not doing something right or have skipped/missed a step..
When flashing the t-mobile firmware do so in it's entirety. Be sure to use the userdata as well.
The flashing process is pretty easy and rather straight forward, but as a refresher follow the instructions at the bottom of this post

Your not doing something right or have skipped/missed a step..
When flashing the t-mobile firmware do so in it's entirety. Be sure to use the userdata as well.
The flashing process is pretty easy and rather straight forward, but as a refresher follow the instructions at the bottom of this post

That may be the issue. The tutorial I used said not to flash the userdata. So when I do this again, I should flash the Tmobile userdata along with it.

Question How to update to Android 13 today?

Hi, I have some spare time now and need to reinstall my Fold3 anyway.
So I would like to test Android 13 and am looking for the safest way, of course without triggering knox.
Can I download and flash via Odin Indian firmware from here: https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-F926B/bit/all/av/T(Android 13) ?
Or should I register as a beta tester?
My csc code is OXM via *#1234# and EUX via "samsung phone info" app.
Which way to go, please? Or point me please in the right direction.
Thank you.
Good question, im also interested in going odin way, so i could also need a secured way
I downloaded the INU rom and to keep data flash HOME_CSC, it keeps the csc that you have now
So did I. I flashed INU on my EUY F926B. When you flash Home-CSC you will keep your data.
Is that absolutely secure that ill keep my apps and setting? Got 2 Authenticator Apps for work on it

Been there, done that, if you have critical work apps, then wait for the official update if you are not 100% sure what you are doing.
ODIN says succeeded, so im crossing fingers. Have worked with it on an older Galaxy before, but never with Firmware from another country. In CSC ive taken the HOME_CSC_OXM_F926BOXM2DVK3_MQB58858275_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5.
That should be right

I can report success, Authenticators are working, CSC is like before
Problem solved, I received official update today
Anyone in the US using VZW get the update?
