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.

So I have a SM-N975U1 (unlocked) from samsung. I want to install the stock Verizon firmware (VZW) on the phone. I downloaded the following https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g.../SM-N975U1/VZW/download/N975U1UEU1ASH4/286268
I installed the VZW firmware via Odin but oddly enough its still the XAA firmware. Not the stock VZW firmware I want. I want the full stock firmware. Verizon 4g icons, Bloat and all. Do I have to change the CSC on these newer models? Haven't done this since my note 8. I thought these stock firmwares were interchangeable? What did I do wrong?
Advice?
You have to download the verizon U version not the U1, I tried to do it and got stock on the activation screen
I see my mistake. Working flawlessly now!

The steps are the same as the S8, Note 8, S9, Note 9, S10.
Use Samfirm tool to download the latest firmware files. You need to use model SM-N975U and region code is VZW for Verizon.
Then use patched ODIN 3.13.1_3b to install.
All other instructions can found by searching the Note 9 forums.

Ten minutes is a little long. It sometimes locks up. Reset and close out ODIN. Then set it back up. Do a factory reset from recovery mode and then immediately go to download mode and hit start.

Do you know does the unlocked version on Verizon work with sms over wifi? I'm not guessing it doesn't since my Pixel worked flawlessly at my desk in the basement at work. I assume I would need to flash the Verizon firmware as you have?
So I'm trying to decide which version on the 10+ to buy. Will I lose any features if I flashed a Verizon rom onto an unlocked 10+ ? Are there any benefits to having the unlocked vs carrier device? Thanks

And no, patched ODIN is not necessary when flashing carrier firmware, although it is necessary when flashing back to the U1 Firmware. I just use it for everything as it seems to cause less issues.
Hi, I have completed the following steps numerous times. I first wiped data and cache then installing the u1 firmware. My note 10 plus sm-nn975u was originally T-Mobile. I had placed a Spectrum sim inside before the flash. Once on U1 spectrum Charter APN settings show up and all works fine. However I wanted to flash to the CHA OR Charter Spectrum firmware. I wiped data and cache and flash. My phone then comes up with T-mobile start screen and bloat. Are the Charter files on Sam fakes or am I missing something. I am totally blind, so when the phone boots after flash it doesn't say its rebooting to apply carrier settings, it just boots on up to setup screen where I turn on voice for the blind and begin setting up. I even tried to reboot after flash with no sim and it says please insert sim but no reboot or prompt to reboot after sim installation.
I am using odin 3.13.1_3B. Please help.

flash this via the patched version of Odin which will allow for flashing of firmware not originally intended for this device(sunce the firmware i linked was unbranded), obtainable here with the phone in download mode. The firmware file youll download will have 2 files that are similar, CSC and HOME_CSC. CSC will factory reset the phone while HOME_CSC wont. If you flash CSC, you will lose every bit of data on the phone. Once that is done, the phone will no longer be branded and wont have any T-Mob stuff on it. It might just work after you flash that, but likely wont as its probably locked to T-Mob. If that is the case, then youll have to buy an unlock code from the netterwebz, which averages about $30
if the Odin stuff is new to you, let me know. Its not hard, its just odd at first.
also, if you flash the unbranded firmware, you can go back to the t-mob version as long as you can download the firmware from somewhere
I'm tired of these ****ty korean bloatware.
I've been trying to flash F firmware on my unrooted N device for a week now with no success, it's always some kind of PIT/Partition error, ticked/unticked Re-partition, ticked/unticked NAND erase, Used/Unused PIT file, patched Odin, unpatched Odin, nothing works, always "Fail Secure (PIT)" error.
someone told me that the F CSC had a different partition than the N CSC, so how do I re-partition? why does it keep failing?
Can an International (F) firmware be flashed into a Korean (N) Device?
why isn't there a clear answer to this question anywhere?
yes i did. actually i took mine to a local mall mobile service shop. the tech guy installed twrp and installed a custom rom- something named lamlazy azmobile bla bla.. . it was all good. the ONLY thing missing was- OTA update. i did lot of youtube and google on this- in some i found the OTA still available in that particular rom while in others that OTA option is missing. that's why i reverted back to the stock KT-variant firmware.
right now i am on the hunt of how to just root and 'hack' the original firmware- just so i can get rid of KT apps which are in control of my only, current gripe- there is no Preferred Network selection option like you see on a global firmware. I only see 3G/LTE Auto and 3G Only options. I need unlocked 2G only, 3g only, 2g/3g auto, 2g/3g/lte auto option.
so, to answer your question- yes it is absolutely possible to convert any korea variant S9+ into global variant. at least with custom rom- not yet sure if it is possible with stock global rom/firmware.

already ahead of you, I installed Soldier rom with a F CSC but there some issues that you start to notice after a while because the the partition for the N CSC isn't the same as the F CSC, so the F CSC doesn't install completely.

like I stated in my op, patched odin didn't work for me no matter what I did, and I haven't seen anyone so far that confirms that it actually works in flashing an F firmware on an N device. so did you actually flash a F firmware on an N device yourself?

unpack both the korean firmware's CSC and the F CSC that youre trying to use, remove the pit from the F firmware, replace it with the Korean PIT, repack the file and flash it.
you can also try an older version of Odin, as that has caused so many headaches for folks in the past. Odin version mismatches can be a mother trucker
oh yes, i had the same issue when i tried patched odin. i didn't know much about PIT. so, after fiddling around for some time, i went back to stock KT firmware. by the way, have you seen this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycpnsWJdURQ
According to this, we need to root our phone, then remove CSC folder and restart. then copy-paste couple of files in the system folder. He did it on his Note 4 though. But my problem with network selection limitations and bloatwares are exactly the same as he was showing on his KT variant Note 4.
anyway, i will surely try extracting the PIT file fron N firmware and replace that in F firmware. any tips/guide how can i do that please?

Hi All,
My apps are updating fine and i see that android 10 has been out for a few months now yet my Note10+ SM-N975U is not updating at all. it seems my security patches are still stuck on august 2019 and every time i try to OTA update, it says my phone us up to date. Is there anyway to bypass this. I see everyone saying to use Odin to update my phone but i am not familiar with the program and where/how to source the note 10 update
Id greatly appreciate the help as its affecting many of my apps

+1 for me. Ive spent almost 2 years and 3 phones trying to get an answer to this. My note 8 had this problem, then my note 10+, then the replacement note 10+. At&t blames Samsung, then Samsung blames at&t, over and over and over. I even had a Samsung technician sit in on a 3 way call with an at&t technician for the better part of an hour. The last I heard was that at&t was petitioning samsung to fix something on their end because at&t shows that everything is up to date on my phone but its not. Im looking into Odin too because this is getting stupid.
At&t is horrible with OTA's. They work for some but for a lot of people it does not, and I am one of them. At&t has never been able to give me an answer as to why this happened on my Note 8..9..and 10+.
Odin is very easy. You dont have to use At&t firmware you can use any Snapdragon US firmware they are the same. Once its installed, it will provision to you sim. There are many threads that have the firmware needed or just us Frija to download the firmware. Once downloaded you need to extract the files. You will have BL..AP..CP..CSC...HOME_csc. You need to download the correct version of Odin to flash the firmware. Open Odin put device in download mode connect device. Once odin recognizes devices find where you extracted the firmware. In odin put BL in BL spot..AP in AP spot..CP in Cp spot. If you want to save data, put HOME_csc in CSC spot. If you want clean install put CSC in CSC spot as it will wipe device. Once you have everything where it should be click start and Odin will flash the firmware. Once complete Odin will say PASS at top left..boot time should take a few minutes. But remember if the firmware you flash has a higher bootloader you cant downgrade back to previous version.

So I can use a verizon csc and it will work on a att branded phone? Or is a generic one better?
Edit
Basically which one do you pick. I'm leaning towards a tmobile because it sounds like the included bloatware is smaller.
I have At&t device purchased at At&t. I have used USC..Tmobile..Verizon. The device will provision to your sim. If you dont want bloat just flash U1 firmware. But I think you will lose advanced features like wifi calling if you do. I cant remember if flashing a (U) csc with U1 firmware brings back advanced features. But prob just stick with 1 firmware until you have a understanding on how to do this...Good luck.

I actually went ahead and did this last night with the tmobile firmware and it was just as easy as you said. For whatever reason I didn't even get any bloatware. It booted up with the at&t logo and sound, and my software version says att/att/att. I put my sim card back in and there were no special notifications or anything, everything just worked. I wonder if Frija gave me the att firmware despite me putting in tmb? Either way, everything is up to day now. Thanks for the help!
Anytime my friend glad it all worked out[emoji106]

At&t is horrible with OTA's. They work for some but for a lot of people it does not, and I am one of them. At&t has never been able to give me an answer as to why this happened on my Note 8..9..and 10+.
Odin is very easy. You dont have to use At&t firmware you can use any Snapdragon US firmware they are the same. Once its installed, it will provision to you sim. There are many threads that have the firmware needed or just us Frija to download the firmware. Once downloaded you need to extract the files. You will have BL..AP..CP..CSC...HOME_csc. You need to download the correct version of Odin to flash the firmware. Open Odin put device in download mode connect device. Once odin recognizes devices find where you extracted the firmware. In odin put BL in BL spot..AP in AP spot..CP in Cp spot. If you want to save data, put HOME_csc in CSC spot. If you want clean install put CSC in CSC spot as it will wipe device.

Hi I have the same problem. I flashed android 10 One UI 2.0 on my Exynos Note10+ SM-N975F last December via Odin and download the firmware from Samfrew(like Sammobile).(the firmware is the German version and I bought my phone from Egypt) Since then I didn't receive any security patch updates I only have the December 2019 one. Will it be safe if I download the latest firmware from Sammobile and flash it; the file in over 5GB , can this overwrite? I never tried to flash the same software two times. Is it safe?
As long as you are using the firmware that is for your device and your region you should be fine. Although this is Snapdragon thread I would think International flashing is same. You may want to double check in your device specific thread as I don't want to be the blame if there is something different with F version.

Also try turning off auto update date and time. Set date like 5days ahead. Then check for update. Sometimes this little trick works for OTA
