S20 Ultra will not recognize Sprint Network - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions &

Good evening -
In March I bought the S20 Ultra from Samsung directly, unfortunately I purchased the S20 Ultra with the Verizon carrier and not the unlocked phone. At the beginning of this month, I switched to Sprint, but that came with some problems with the phone being locked by Verizon. Ultimately, VZN said they unlocked the phone. I am able to get voice on my phone, but not the Sprint data or mms, although, I can get texts. When I reboot the phone, with a Sprint SIM card in it, the Verizon logo still shows up and then it says the phone doesn't have a vzn sim card. I was able to find a temporary solution by adding Sprint APNs manually, but they aren't for 5G so I don't get the best data connection. I believe the APNs are back from 2018. Also, when I try entering codes from the dialer, they don't work (i.e. #1 sprint vmail). In fact, I when I try to enter any code, such as ##72786#, they never work; it just tells me I dialed an incorrect number or code. My wife has the Note 10plus and it had the same issue, until they unlocked the phone......the sprint sim card took and now it boots up just fine with Sprint. Just not sure what is wrong with my phone. If someone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated. I spent many hours trying to figure this out, but no luck. Plus the countless of hours I have spent on the phone with vzn and sprint techs.
Thank you in advance.
Phone details:
Model #: SM-G988U

Your best bet might be to just flash the device over to the Sprint firmware with ODIN which as long as it is SIM unlocked should fully convert it into a Sprint device.
Here is a relevant post with more information:

In the past I've flashed from Samsung Unlocked to TMobile and from TMobile to Samsung Unlocked, and it has been fairly painless in both directions (just be aware that this will factory reset your device). I've found with my S20+ the native carrier firmware runs better than unlocked for provisioning 5G bands and configurations just because it gets the latest modem updates and tweaks first.

Thanks, I'll give that a try in the next couple of days.

also to add, dialing 1 for vm and the ##xxxx# codes are two completely different things..
also, the devices/firmware is multi csc so your device already has sprint stuffsuch as csc...
lastly, if you have a vzw branded U device, its not an unlocked U1 device purchased from samsung but you can flash U1firmware if you want.. i assume you selected verizon as the carrier when you purchased from samsung instead of unlocked.

@hofopds
Ok, so I followed the directions from the forum you referenced and I got this error in Odin.
Thoughts?

I went to Sammobile and downloaded the SAMSUNG GALAXY S20 ULTRA SM-G988U1 SPR SPINT (CDMA) G988U1UEU1ATF1 FIRMWARE, which was recent.
Any assistance will be appreciated.

You have to flash the unlocked version first, THEN the Sprint version. I'd personally keep it on the Unlocked version though.
You were also linked to the wrong thread, which was for the 988B version, not the 988U.
This is the correct thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s20/how-to/g988u-g988u1-firmware-links-flashing-t4054133
- the correct procedure for switching from one carrier's firmware to another is:
1. Flash full U1 firmware package including non HOME CSC
2. Upon boot, insert a SIM of the carrier whose firmware you want
3. Watch for the popup that says "reboot to apply new carrier settings" etc, and do it
4. After that restart completes, reboot back to Download mode and flash the full U firmware package, with the USERDATA file of the carrier whose firmware you want

Edited to add to the message below: Every time I call someone it goes to 1x, which seems like it's crappy receptions - any thoughts on this?
I would keep it on this version, but it seems to me that I am having trouble connecting to Sprint's data network. I've had to manually enter the APNs on my phone and I don't feel I am getting the full effect of Sprint's data network.
Or is this just Sprint's crappy network?
Any suggestions, because this is driving me crazy.

sha256 invalid error means hes not using the modified odin which is required when flashing u1 firmware to a u model

Verizon locks all phones for 60 days. I foolishly did the same thing and I had to use Verizon network for 60 days and then I switched back to tmobile.

Ok, so I was able to swap from U to U1.....YAY!! Everything is working awesome!!!
Just in case someone reviews this forum, as per elliwigy's post, you do have to flash using Odin3_v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD vs Odin3-v3.14.4; this will avoid the sha256 invalid error.
Thank you to all who responded to my forum.
Greatly appreciated!!

[Q] Galaxy Note 2 Stuck On Firmware Update

Just to get it out if the way, yes I am a noob. I first rooted my phone with the Modded N7105 Rom and it worked. However I was looking to upgrade to the N7105XXDLL1 ROM which is 4.1.2. So after I made a backup rom, I put it into recovery mode and took all the nessacary steps to flash the rom (unzip rom, make sure nothing is checked other than Auto restart and PDA with the correct rom selected. Then I get this log from odin:
<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)
So I panic and hold down the power button. Now I'm stuck with the screen "Firmware Upgrade Encounted an issue. Please select recovery
mode in kies & try again". This is what I have tried so far. Made sure kies was off when running odin/unistalled and reinstalled drivers/redownloaded the rom and tried again/reboot computer/tried a different usb port/tried different computer/cleaned usb port on phone and computers/took battery out and pluged in the usb to the computer and while holding the volume down button connect into the computer.
I can't get that message off of my screen no matter what I do. This is a Tmobile galaxy note 2.If you have the ability to help me it would be greatly appriciated, I knew I ran the risks of messing up my phone when rooting so the responsibilty rest upon me. But if any of you could help, you would save my holiday. Thanks in advance for any help:good:. (Looking at email hoping for notifications)
Did you resolve this at all? I'm in the same boat and kies won't recognize my phone either.
Did you install custom recovery when you rooted? Try booting to recovery. If not try grabbing the toolkit from the note 2 section. And see if you can get it install recovery. Then just flash a custom rom. There a lot of very nice touchwiz stock based roms.

in download mode does it say n7100 in product code?
what you need to do if you will be using a pit file is use a factory emergency rom. sadly most the links are down.
i have a MJ9 Emergency rom from india which is 4.3. i will try upload it when i get home in 8 to 9 hours to mega.nz if that is ok.
what i have done is replaced the MJ9 bootloader with MJ5 in that firmware.
if you can't wait, you need a firmware that has BL,AP, CP and CSC all split so you can put them in all the boxes. if i get a chance at lunch i might try find a pre uploaded link for you. just remain calm and don't start flashing stuff randomly
I have searched and searched online and cant seem to nail down a solution to this issue.
My Download Screen displays:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-N7100
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
I hope that my Note II is not bricked. I have tried 100's of times with stock, custom recovery's, CWM, I get some kind of error no matter what I do.
my Sammy just doesn't want to work with me.
I hope that we can put together a solution.

to both you guys:- what bootloader are you on/were you on? Kenneth I think you've taken your bootloader above MJ5 as you say your warranty bit is 1. you can't downgrade bootloader at all! flashing the MJ5 bootloader with the file I've uploaded won't help. you will only get FAIL in odin. you need to tell me which bootloader you've been to so I can try arrange a package for you if I can.
Teckin, I need you to answer the above too

First off thanks for your help. Here's the deal I had this installed: DN3_v3.2_by_E-Team_(Vegeta_Edition) Thats a Jelly Bean for the past 2 month's so what ever bootloader works with that is what it had. I was tying to flash an OEM KK: BL_N7100XXUEMJ5_1903221_REV04_user_low_ship.tar I figured we'll since I have this problem let me flash DN5 but in oder to do this I would have to upgrade my bootloader KK that's why I flashed this BL_N7100XXUEMJ5_1903221_REV04_user_low_ship.tar Now I say again The problem was not a result of flashing. My wife was using Skype while on the DN3 and it froze she pushed the wake button once or twice it went black and then gave the reboot logo that I mentioned above. So then I proceeded to try to flash to fix and upgrade in the process. And it gave me the odin results above No PIT Partition

here's the file I've uploaded.
you may well still have taken the device to MJ5 only.
flash all files in here at the same time using odin. let me know how you get on?
I find this method works best for me:
phone is off, load odin, load all the files in, pit, bl, ap, cp, csc no messing around with any ticking other boxes. AP will probably cuase odin to crash for a few seconds when loading just let it do its thing.
then put phone into download mode( I put battery in hold down, menu and power) if the drivers have been installed using that port previous it finds the device in odin instantly and i start the process.
If your flash is successful but doesn't load rom, your data might need to be wiped. i mean if your device is has been stuck on a Samsung screen for 10 minutes after odin said everythings fine don't panic. take battery out, go into recovery (volume up+menu+power) and then wipe data. it should now load the rom.

Ok so here is the deal on my GT-N7100. I bought it this way, but have not been able to flash it back to stock to start from scratch. so to answer your question, I have NO CLUE.
Seller told me that It would only boot into dl screen with usb...So I thought hmm I can re-flash it with stock software and move forward from that point.
Thank you all for the suggestions!

don't click erase.
mate i think you've flashed a new bootloader than MJ5 hence why it fails at that stage.
i am checking to see if i can get hold of a kitkat rom for you that's split to so you can flash pit.
i have never tried it with kitkat mate. plus i don't use odin to flash anymore. i use my octoplus box so files are in a .oct format
Sorry for delay in replying.
again i think youhave a newer bootlaoder if it shows warranty bit.

i dont think it makes a difference to be honest as i think it just uses the same type of way to push it.
i have a silly question to ask you.
what happens if you flash http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/n7100//philz_touch_6.41.6-n7100.tar.md5
in ap only without pit ofcourse.
does odin allow you to do this?

check this thread out if he has a z3x (wish i had got that instead of octoplus)

i have found PIT_N7100XXUENA1_N7100OJVENA1_N7100XXUENA3_Taiwan_Android_4.3
which includes all the files an oct file. if your mate has another box he might be able to find something similar along the lines?
I tried that file as well. Still same issue. I did talk with a guy that does jtag services and he advised me that it's either the eMMC or motherboard issue. He wants to sell me a eMMC Flash service for $75.00. What do you guys think I should do....

We're you able to find the KK files for the N7100 odin flashable? and a little off topic here but I have been dabbling with the idea of unlocking cells. I live in the Dominican Republic and cells here are mostly GSM wondering if you we're to purchase 3 box's to do the widest range of phones which 3 would you buy and from where? Sorry everybody for the off topic.

I tried that file as well. Still same issue. I did talk with a guy that does jtag services and he advised me that it's either the eMMC or motherboard issue. He wants to sell me a eMMC Flash service for $75.00. What do you guys think I should do....

that's note a bad price for the service i'd say. they have to use a rework station to pull the emmc off and then reball the new one on. however i'd suggest you try flashing a new firmware on first. i will try to dig a new firmware out for you to try but if they keep failing then the only route is emmc and make sure they load a firmware below 4.3 knox free if you want custom roms again

Any particular reason you need to re-partition?
Also, this forum is for the s3, not the s3 mini.

im sorry i just seen s3 and i thought that it would be sorta the same and what is re-partition?
It involves partitioning/re-partitioning the phone's internal memory.
The simplest way to return the phone to stock would be to flash the phone's stock firmware from sammobile.com. Just make sure that you are flashing the same version currently installed on the phone.
wow man thanks so much i am getting the firmware right now, do i just use odin?
Yes, just make sure you are flashing the same version that is currently on the phone.
Open Odin 3.07 (this is the version I recommend), do not check anything except f.reset time. Flash the phone. When you see the word "reset" in the status windows, remove the USB cable, remove the battery, replace the battery, boot into recovery, perform a factory reset/wipe and clear the cache. Reboot.
BTW, the fact that the phone is rooted doesn't normally cause a bootloop when resetting the phone, at least this has been my experience with several different rooted phones.

FAIL! Model dismatch fail

hello All, I am trying to flash with odin the new QDE update from Sammobile .... i get a model dismatch error any ideas? also what do you do with the [USERDATA_TMB] file?
has anyone successfully odin with this device?
Yeah i would like to know too. I usually due this after new updates to make sure everything is running correctly.

yeah thats what I was wanting to do. i've tried different versions of Odin, on the earlier versions you get an error [Odin protocol version error]
I wouldnt think you could fastboot install them like on Nexus devices...
woah!!! I just used this Odin here: http://odindownload.com/download/Odin3_v3.12.3.zip and it worked....
How did you flash it and what do you do with the userdata file?
I Used the USERDATA as CSC
There are many modified Odins out there now to accommodate for the user data file. You can also enable the UMS greyed out section yourself. Once you extract the odin zip go into the odin3 configuration file and change UMS and USERDATA options to 1 instead of 0, save and your all set! Put your user data file into the UMS slot.
Ah. Good to know. Thank you for the information.

Cool information!
I'm getting this "FAIL! Model dismatch fail" error also. If I try to use a non-patched version of Odin, it gets me stuck at the 32% error after install. Any idea how to make the patched version of Odin stop with the dismatch nonsense?

Have you tried a factory reset after the 32% fail? I feel like all of my flashes ended in a 32% fail but once I reset the phone, it boots up to the new firmware.
---------- Post added at 02:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------
Regarding the new update...
I was able to get the regular CSC file to flash in Prince's ODIN 3.12.3, but the Home_CSC and the USERDATA each gave me the device mismatch fail.
My phone booted up into the update just fine, however. So, if you don't mind wiping all your data, you can get the update to flash.
help me please

A320FL Recovery Bricked And Stuck On Bootloading

Hi everyone,
so here is the issue I'm facing with my A320FL.
Last week, after I had it all reinstalled properly, phone restarted and got stuck on FRP lock menu.
So I decided to wipe it all and reinstall with proper official ROM again.
I used Odin 3.13.3 launched as Administrator and latest Samsung Drivers.
I download latest official 8.0.0 ROM from SAMmobile.
I used the procedure with BL, AP, CP and CSC files (I don't mind losing all my data, I have backup) and all goes fine up to the green PASS! (I disabled Auto Reboot in Odin's Options just to take the screenshot):
https://ibb.co/HVrnxbw
then phone restarts, then goes with "installing updates" and quickly go up to 32%, then waits a bit: https://ibb.co/t392t7Q
then restarts again, then goes "Erasing" for a like 2 minutes: https://ibb.co/FJHMT7g
then restart again, and then the problem appears when phone gets stuck on following screen:
https://ibb.co/zHby4dx
I cannot go to recovery and wipe cache or data as I've seen on other posts to resolve this issue as recovery is blocked.
If I reboot the phone with 'Volume down + HOME + Power', I get to this screen: https://ibb.co/4RhJgJG
then if I press 'Volume Up" I have this screen: https://ibb.co/Wnh5Hv0
So I have "FRP lock: ON" at the top of the screen, and I cannot install TWRP or any custom recovery (Odin ends with a fail message if I try so): https://ibb.co/0qPLFL5
And phone shows "Custom Binary Blocked By FRP Lock": https://ibb.co/hsLdKjs
So I cannot boot into the ROM, go in Developer Options and Enable OEM unlock :/
And everytime I try to reinstall the official ROM, I get stuck on the "No Command" screen.
Any idea on how to go back to proper state?
Thanks
Just wait it out a bit. If it auto goes to recovery, it goes through that, well because the phone is kinda slow. Wait out the no command thing for 5 minutes, if it doesn't proceed that's a different issue
Thanks for your answer.
When I wait on the no command screen, the phone then reboots after like 3/4 minutes, and eventually goes back to that same screen again.
Thanks
Any chance of an update or something to try on that one please?
Thanks
Hi everyone,
any chance of a suggestion on my issue?
Is the phone bricked or have I a chance to recover it?
Thanks

I tried that, and nothing happens.
Again I tried a few options, in different order, and so far the phone still looks briked.
Dunno if I'll be able to recover it anytime :/

Send me PM i will try to help you.?
@mhaxor: I have the same behaviour. Is it possible that you did the latest (September) stock firmware update before ? Boot loader updates and then no combination firmware flashing is possible.

Hey, I didn't install the september update, but I tried a few different stock ROM with ODIN from sammobile, one of them being with a build date of October 2019

What does your bootloader state in download mode (B:?).
I guess 4, if so you have the same softbrick then me. Did you search for a combination firmware supporting Bootloader type 4 ?
I only see this screen when booting up the phone: https://ibb.co/hsLdKjs

Yes. What I thought. Your are on bootloader 4. Take a look at several threads here about a combination firmware that works with bootloader 4. There´s none at the moment.
I´ve exactly the same behaviour, none of the stock ROMs (and I tried many of them) was able to get the phone up again.
Bad luck, but at the moment your device is less or more bricked. Let me know if you are succesful, I´ll do the same and send you a PN.

Dude try bypassing FRP, i will try to search for some tools for you!
The only way I managed to bypass FRP lock was with unlocking the OEM in the device's settings in developper mode, then installing a new recovery.
But of course I can't access this now.
is it dead?

Edit: I was using the wrong version of (3.12) odin should have used version 3.13.
anyway you can shed some light on my issue as well? this was a friends phone (legit story), here in brazil these kids don't pay attention to what they are doing. they put google accounts on phones and fail to remember them nor do they care to. the device is showing similar symptoms. all I can really say is the device will only flash combination files, if I flash a firmware it only flashes the modem. when I got the device it was on bootloader 2 (b:2 firmware A320FLXXS2BRA9). then I ended up flashing a firmware that was b:3. after I did that the device will only go to factory binary, and like I mentioned before it wont flash the firmware just the modem.
on power up the device in the upper left conner says:

Hello,
no further improvement, still stuck.
This is not my main phone so I can use the other one daily, but I'd still like to unbrick that A320FL.
