Sm-g960u1 att firmware

Hello,
I apologize if this has already been discussed. I searched the forums, but am having no luck. I have the u1 unlocked s9. I'm trying to flash it to have att firmware so I can use wifi calling. I used the samfirm app and was able to get the firmware that I thought I needed, but after flashing, I have no carrier apps or wifi calling. I have an s7 with wifi calling if I need to put the sim back in that for anything. If anyone can direct me on what files I need, I would appreciate it. I read somewhere that I just need the userdata file. I tried that with odin, but it fails to flash with fused 3 binary 1 error. The firmware on sammobile was slightly different from the samfirm app, but I couldn't get it without a premium account. G960U1UES3ARJ6 is my current baseband.
Thanks!

Have you gotten the October update? I fought with AT&T about wifi calling for months about this. They claimed they enabled it after I called but it never showed up in the phone app settings. They finally said it was because the phone was unlocked. When I received the October 1 update, it showed up in my settings. My wife has a Galaxy J7 and it showed up on her phone also after the update. I see some saying that it never showed though so make sure you have the latest Odin.

Yes. My phone says security patch level is November 1st. Att said I would not get it because my phone was an unlocked model. I get that, but from what I've read, I can flash the firmware on it to basically have the carrier firmware as if it was bought from Att. I dont know what files to get though. Did you use Odin for flashing it?

No, mine was the normal ota update. Don't expect to get any help from AT&T on this. They told me it wouldn't work on my unlocked phone yet now it does. I expect it to go away at any moment though.

Help installing Verizon Firmware on Unlocked SM-N975U1

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.

Make sure you use CSC file. Not Home CSC. Also install UserData. Then you should be all set :good:

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.

i have the same device.. the N976V is verizon note 10 plus 5g.. its not the same as the U1 variants.. i assume the fail is a secure check fail? thats bcuz the U1 is signed with different keys..
so far all the 5g devices have been carrier specific models and firmware is not interchangeable between them

There is no SM-N975U in the list or when i type it in?

There's no links to Samfirm. The SamFirm tool is a Windows application you download and install to download full firmware files to your computer.

Help with flashing U1 firmware to my Verizon G960U

.

DetectiveTaco said:
I have a Verizon locked Galaxy S9 (G960U) and I want to remove all the carrier branding and crap since. With the US Snapdragon Samsung devices having the bootloader locked and preventing the ability to root or flash custom ROMs this is the only way I can get rid of the carrier branding garbage. Though there is so many firmwares and different versions of the G960U1 firmware that I don't know what to get. Or which version of Odin I need or what to do to flash using Odin. If anyone is willing to help and walk me through this process that would be amazing because there is no good detailed step by step guides or videos on YouTube on how to do it. Or they aren't recent.

get the patched Odin here
and the latest U1 firmware here
put the 4 files from the firmware in their respective spots, using CSC to factory reset the phone and HOME_CSC to flash the firmware without resetting.
let me know if youre not familiar with Odin enough to understand what im getting at

DetectiveTaco said:
One last question, did your CSC change when you flashed the U1? My CSC before flashing was VZW/VZW/VZW and it's still VZW/VZW/VZW. In the phone info app it says my firmwares CSC code is XAA which is what it should be since I flashed the XAA G960U1. But then it says the active CSC code is VZW. Does this mean I will not receive the unlocked OTA updates from Samsung directly like I thought I would, and instead I will still receive the Verizon OTA updates instead. http://imgur.com/a/KgooKUR
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it should still get updates for the OTA version. What happened is when you put the vzw card in, the firmware chose VZW since that was one of the available CSCs in the package. No worries man

.

.

DetectiveTaco said:
Or is it like because the CSC is Country/Region/Operator and VZW was a part of the multi CSC package but the firmware uses the XAA CSC code it will pull the updates from the XAA provider in this case that being Samsung.
I will probably wait until the next update for XAA devices is pushed and see if I receive it. And I'll either report back here or PM you if I receive the OTA for the next XAA G960U1 update
Click to expand...

thats what i was driver after. the version of firmware you flashed contains several CSCs and the vzw one is what the phone latched on to. If you popped another sim in there thats within that csc list, itll probably do similar stuff with that
yeah, feel free to hit me up. if you pm me on here, i might not answer super fast, but ill eventually get to it lol

DetectiveTaco said:
Yep sure thing. Hopefully the October patch will get pushed soon and ill found out.

oh, forgot to address one of your previous questions. You can flash those files all you want, the nice part about them is that if youre flashing a new version on top of the old one, just flash the CSC_HOME and it will keep your phone exactly how it was but still apply the update. Its pretty sweet

DetectiveTaco said:
Yeah I flashed the regular CSC going from G960U to G960U1 because how it was a bigger transition and I didn't want to leave traces of Verizon crap.

very good. thats a perfect example of when to use the CSC vs the HOME_CSC

Exynos Note 10+ (SM-N976B) - now unlocked from Vodafone UK - One UI 2.1 firmware

Hi, this is my first post/question. Sorry if it's a dumb one.
I'm in the UK and I have a Galaxy Note 10+ (SM-N976B).
The phone is from Vodafone (was locked to Vodafone) and is the Exynos (EU/UK) chip version of the phone.
It is currently on the 01-Mar-2020 patch level with One UI 2.0.
Now that I have officially unlocked it from Vodafone (Vodafone sent me the unlocked codes and they worked - I am now using it with a non-Vodafone SIM ), I wanted to know if I still have to wait for the Vodafone firmware release of One UI 2.1 (which I know is out for other Galaxy S10/Note10 variants); OR, whether I can get an "unlocked"? version of the One UI firmware for Exynos Note 10+ phones?
What is the normal policy regarding carrier locked [Samsung] phones that have been officially unlocked - are you still tied to the original carrier's timetable of firmware/security-patch releases for the phone?
Regards,
psb01

you will still be on Vodafone's software and release schedule, I have an unlocked phone in the UK direct from Samsung and the update is already out for a phone using the standard software, Vodafone were always slow on updates, had this problem way back with the Nexus phones taking that long to update through Vodafone i ended up rooting and flashing the original software.
so unless you can flash the standard software from the unlocked phones you are likely stuck on Vodafone's time table, unfortunately I haven't had to flash a different firmware on mine so I'm unable to help on if it's actually possible to move away from the Vodafone software.

Yes, you should be able to dl the but firmware and flash.
Look through the news section for the N976b fw posts. In there are all the links you need and very detailed instructions.
Good luck.

Thanks for the reply, it is useful to know this.
I may have to look into getting an proper factory unlocked version if Vodafone don't pull their finger out for One UI 2.1 by end-May-2020.
Yes, I agree, Vodafone do seem to be slow on these things.
I will look into whether it's possible to replace my Vodafone firmware with official factory-unlocked firmware now my phone is officially unlocked.
(However, I don't want to have a rooted phone permanently as my banking apps won't work on it if it's rooted.)

You can download the latest BTU version of the firmware using either Samfirm or Frija and flash it to your phone using Odin. You will then receive over the air updates as they are released. This is NOT rooting your phone and all banking apps will work as they should.

AHH, okay. So I assume "BTU version" is the factory-unlocked version that phones direct from Samsung come with?
Also, will doing this wipe all my data and leave me with a factory-fresh phone (with latest firmware/OS) that I have to set up from scratch?
If so, could I backup my phone's data (in its entirety - calls, SMS, apps & data) that I can restore after the firmware flash? What backup method is recommended?
(I used to have Pixels before my Note 10+ and I am used to using the Google's backup to GDrive. I note now with Galaxy phones that they want to backup to Samsung's [cloud drive?] own area/method and don't do Google backups. I use my Google apps/services quite a lot and don't rely/use Samsung's services where I can avoid them.) Any advice for me in this regards?
I don't mind trying this method, but I'm worried about bricking my Note 10+ or losing all my setup/data. I'm not familiar with flashing phones but I can follow basic tech instructions. I'm guessing if it doesn't work I can re-install the Vodafone OS/firmware back on it to bring it back to how it is now?
Thanks.

BTU is the UK unlocked version of the firmware. You can back everything up to Google just like you're used to. Go to settings, accounts and backup, backup and restore, Google account, Back up now.
You'll get the chance to restore it at startup if you do a full factory reset. If you don't get the option, you can restore from the same place.
When you download the file from Frija you will see 5 files. You only use 1 of the CSC files. You use HOME_CSC to keep your data and the other CSC file if you want to do a complete wipe and start again.
There is a really good guide in messages 1&2 of the following thread but be aware that this is not for our phone. Replace the input values in Frija to SM-N976B and BTU.
https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/to...2&share_fid=3793&share_type=t&link_source=app
Finally, you probably won't be able to reflash the Vodafone firmware until after it gets updated as I'm pretty sure that they've updated the bootloader and you can't downgrade that.
Good luck

Many thanks for this. It will give me a mini-project to do during this lock-down.
I think,for safety, I'm going to go back to my old Pixel so I don't risk any data and use that while I try this method to update the Note 10+.
I think I prefer the total wipe option, so there's nothing on the phone that shouldn't be there, from the start.
If it all works, I'll transfer back all my data over to the Note 10+ using the Samsung Smart Switch Mobile app.
At least having a UK unlocked firmware means I'll get future updates and security patches quicker.

Unlocked At&t Android 10 update outside US

Greetings,
I'm super new here, also a tech noob so pls be gentle.
I purchased an unlocked At&T Note 10+, and i am living in Malaysia. Little that I know At&T would never send updates to out network, and that I require an At&t SIM in order to get the updates. Currently I am stucked with Android 9, ONE UI 1.5, with no hope of getting anything higher than that.
My question is, how can i get the updates besides flashing a new firmware? I tried connecting to Smart Switch on my laptop, and all it can says is that my software is up to date on SJ8 (ATT).
Hope there's a way other than flashing. HELP.

Hi Mohd Azrimny,
Am in the same boat as you. In Malaysia and have the note 10 plus at&t version. How did you manage? I am using Odin and getting error message connection failed. Not sure what is the problem.
Can you point me from where you downloaded the firmware? I am suspecting that is the culprit.
Thanks!

I'm sorry but I don't think there's other way around, you'll need to flash another firmware.
I have an Unlocked Verizon Note10+, the first thing I did after getting it out of the box was flash the unbranded firmware (CSC: XAA).
Ever since, I've had OTA updates as quick as they're released for N975U1.

I see...tq man. Can u help me out with one last thing? As they are thousands of firmware out there, which one should i choose? Can i simply choose any unbranded firmware (N975U1) from any month security updates n just flash it? I just need a stock ROM, not the latest should be ok as the OTA will take care of the rest.
Right now i'm at nov 2019 security updates SJ8 (ATT).
Thanks in advance.

Well, unfortunately I'm not sure about previous versions, however I'm leaving attached my SW information, my CSC is XAA.
You can download it from sammobile or frija (this is way faster).
Hope this helps,
Regards.

So, knowing you are a noob is half the solution already...
I highly recommend you look for Frija on the internet. Download the tool, search for the phone you have , it is a SM-N975U , and since you want to get rid from the AT&T version, you can install the SM-N975U1 version with XAA as CSC, that Samsung themselves push updates to. Even if they will not, you can always download the next revisions..
I assume you know how to use Odin..

Well, unfortunately I'm not sure about previous versions, however I'm leaving attached my SW information, my CSC is XAA.
You can download it from sammobile or frija (this is way faster).
Hope this helps,
Regards.

No worries, as Odin and the phone check revisions and suitability. If not the right firmware, it should not write it.

I'm sorry but I don't think there's other way around, you'll need to flash another firmware.
I have an Unlocked Verizon Note10+, the first thing I did after getting it out of the box was flash the unbranded firmware (CSC: XAA).
Ever since, I've had OTA updates as quick as they're released for N975U1.

hello, i know this an old thread, and yes. im also super super green and noob on all of this.. i too have Unlocked Verizon Note10+,
and after a month or so, it cant detect my local carrier as well (maxis) and i receive a message constantly about the sim is not verizon sim
so i was hoping , flashing the firmware would eliminate this problem
what i did was :
1) download odin v3.14
2)download frija 1.4.3
3) download firmware SM-n975u1 csc XAA from frija
4)tried to flash using odin..and failed multiple time
5)tried download a patched version of odin 3.14
6)download a bunch of other firmware from USA verizon, malayisia and others
7)failed and failed and failed again
so sifu please help me?where did i go wrong? will flashing new firmware fix my carrier problem? or its a verizon issue?because it was working fine a month ago ..please help..
