Hello,
I recently purchased a note 10+ unlocked version from the states and live in Canada. I've updated the phone and everything, but the samsung pay app does not look like the Canada one and when I try to add a card, it asks for a zip code. I've tried uninstalling the app, clearing the cache, etc and re-downloading it; but to no avail. Can I try factory data reset with the Canadian Sim in? Under software information, it shows XAA which upon my research, indicates that it is USA unbranded firmware.
Is there some Canadian firmware I have to install? Where can I find it? Thank you.

You will have to flash the SM-N975W firmware which is the variant that's sold by Samsung in Canada.
You'll want the XAC CSC which is for Canadian unbranded, similar to XAA for USA.
The firmware can be downloaded through SamFirm or Frija and should be flashed with the patched version of Odin 3.13.1 to allow cross-flashing from N975U1 to N975W.

After you install the XAC firmware, remove your Canadian SIM card, restart the device once and then do a factory reset to confirm that it has been switched to XAC. After that you will be able to install the Canadian variant of Samsung Pay, as well as use other carrier features like VoLTE and WiFi calling if available.

I successfully went to 2ARF4 on this and it's now a G960U1 but I'd like the AT&T wifi calling, is it possible to flash the AT&T software to gain that or does it have to be a AT&T branded device for their system to register it? If it's possible which OS version should I get, I don't see a ATT version of the one that's on here or anything that would be the alternative.
You can get Sprint S9 or S9+ variant unlocked through Ebay:
https://m.ebay.com/itm/SPRINT-SAMSU...?_trksid=p3984.m1561.l2649&_mwBanner=1&_rdt=1
Also can do Bad IMEI devices also.
After you're unlocked should convert to ATT software when you insert sim.

It hasn't converted to AT&T software on the U1 firmware I flashed. That's why I started the thread to see if anyone else has been able to

First SIM unlock the phone...
Then, Use an unlocked and generic firmware like g960usqs3brj6 and flash with newest Odin.... Use csc NOT home csc and do NOT insert a SIM....
Factory reset, boot phone and setup to home screen... Then just pop in an AT&T sim and click restart device. It should install everything you need for att. I am running att video calling and all other features on my g960u with the above firmware and have no problems... Lists ATT/ATT/SPR under service provider now... Good Luck!
Hello to everybody,
I have a Galaxy S9, model SM-G960N and finally the Korean Update to Android 10 arrived, downloaded it from SamMobile (The unbranded version KOO) Flashed it without problems and the phone works as intended. Only it doesn't have KOO as CSC, it has SKC, which has bloatware and it isn't the one I flashed. What gives? Why does it do that, are there any workarounds? Here's what I've tried until now:
Downloaded, and flash numerous times, no result, I don't live in Korea, I don't have a Korean SIM, phone still reports SKC.
Flashing with or without sim card inserted gives the same result.
Can't flash any other CSC, other than Korean ones, Odin spits out an error and it does not even start the flashing process.
Mix and matching different CSC with different firmware's obviously not successful.
Any idea if something can be done about this?
Thank you in advance.
You need to root it and change CSC with phone info app to KOO

I guess that's the only remaining way, but do you know why it picks SKC instead of KOO, even if the firmware that I'm downloading is KOO.
Korean CSC is a multiCSC even if you download KOO firmware you phone will use SKC that's included in the CSC so there is no different korean csc there's only one that includes the 4 csc codes
i have rooted device but i need multilanguage. ho i can debrand or add orginal languages?

i've to face the same thing mine is KTC but it shows SKC. idk what to do after did that always my device is getting overheat
Helo everyone,
I've been trying to flash my unlocked A505F device which I brought from ebay with A505U1 XAA firmware from samfirm as I live In the US and have been having trouble getting connected to my mobile network/ getting mobile data although I can call/text ( I didn't realize there were different models for different regions at the time of purchase). I was recommended this flash as it might add the LTE bands I need for my mobile carrier (Metro by tmobile). Unfortunately, despite having the Samsung drivers, the latest odin and A505U1 XAA firmware downloaded, the flash failed.
I was thus wondering if anyone has ever done this or if anyone has any tips on how to flash this firmware or any other advice on how to get the LTE bands for here in the US, as that's the only reason I'm doing this.
Thank you!
I just got a galaxy s10+ from a friend who was on Tmoblie so it has the Tmoblie loading screen and apps. I would like to revert it back to the firmware CSC code XAA so I dont have to have the Tmoblie boot screen and apps. He didn't buy it from tmoblie its from an insurance company so I am pretty sure its unlocked. The app "Phone Info" says that Firmware's CSC code is XAA and the active one is TMB. I have tried to put in the *#272*IMEI# code into the phone but it just gives me an error code.
Is there anyway to revert it back to XAA without flashing the phone? Will I void the warranty if i flash the phone with official firmware? Also if I have to flash the phone where do I find XAA firmware as I only saw carrier firmware on SamMoblie.
Thanks for any help and very sorry if this has been posted a thousand times!
Also the phone model is SM-N975U / Galaxy Note10+
Device Type: d2q
Product Name: d2qsq
Bootloader Version: N975USQS6FUF1
CSC Version: N975UOYN6FUF1
Phone is on Android 11
I just flashed the phone and it all worked out. I used these threads to figure out the solution if anyone else is ever interested in how I solved this problem.
Note 10+ N975U carrier universal and unlocked models firmware.
Yep. I'm going to download the files just in case ,but wait a few days to see if anything happens.I'm curious if that was your issue all this time .

Odin Files/Guides For S21
Flashing S21 Ultra t-mobile branded to unlocked? Hi Everyone, I am a new samsung owner. I recently got s21 ultra t-mobile branded. It is now network unlocked. But i wanted to have a clean bloat free phone so wanted to have unlocked firmware. As i understand it, i need XAA G998-UA firmware...
forums.androidcentral.com
And I used this very kind user on Androidcentrals help. The context of my question is not needed but I basically asked if I was choosing the correct files.
"Yes use the firmware from frija , you will also need prince comsey patched Odin which download from XDA website, this will factory reset your device for first time , choose XAA as region with model number from unlocked version. (He is refering to the model number SM-N975U1) Put the device in download mode and make sure using a good cable and try 7zip to extract the firmware,odin,frija ...then after extract the the firmware you going take for files Cp/CSC,Bl,Ap and put in corresponding slots in odin and flash"
I would appreciate if anyone can point me to the right direction. I have 21FE G990U2 from AT&T, It is unlocked by AT&T.
All I need is working T-Mobile firmware or Samsung (no carrier branding) to flash. I tried multiple versions of U, U1 and U3 firmwares (all matching my current Binary -4) but no success.
I just would like to get rid of ATT bloat. I know I can uninstall it via ADB but I rather have firmware clean of it.
Any suggestion please?
Thanks
So am I right to assume that you are looking for a G990U2 TMB firmware with Binary 4, to flash on a G990U2 AT&T phone?
If so, then you can download it from the below link by clicking on "Download Samfw server" (G990U2OYN4EWC3, April 2023 update):

or if I am assuming wrong, can you please correct my understanding? As I do not have any practical hands-on experience with the USA models.

You are correct - I need T-Mobile (or carrier free) so I can utilize full carrier settings.
Thanks for the link, however above link gives an error when opening the page.
Nevertheless I will look for TMB firmware with CSC: G990U2OYN4EWC3 and post an update here
Flashed that and still has AT&T boot logo and all the apps

Well, I am sure that you have flashed by a Factory reset (Flashed CSC, not Home CSC in ODIN). The boot logo can be changed by rooting your device, also bloatware apps can be deleted via ADB command without rooting.. but you already have mentioned that you prefer not to proceed with those processes. So I am out of suggestions, sorry.
Just for my knowledge, after flashing the TMB firmware, now your settings> About phone> software information> service provider software version: 2nd line shows as TMB/ TMB/ AT&T?
(Also corrected the download link in my previous comment anyway).
Yes, you are correct i did flash CSC, not home CSC. Then I reflashed w home CSC but software still says ATT/ATT/ATT.
Moreover on Bootloader screen says "carrier ATT" - I have never seen that before on any Samsung phone that I had. I have no clue how did they lock up device that well. As for removing software via ADB that is not a problem, but ATT locks network selection mode so you cant choose between 5G, LTE, 3G etc..
TMobile in US still supports EDGE and sometimes it comes handy - whereas ATT has only LTE and 5G as they re-farmed EDGE and 3G/HSPA frequencies

I do not get why the CSC can never be changed, even after flashing the complete firmware... must be an ATT thing!
Anyway, to change the csc only, there is another very quick & easy method. It takes only 2/3 minutes; no flash or factory reset is required. You have to download and install a small software "SamFW Tool" on your pc/laptop (may need to disable the antivirus during the download/install process). Once done, connect the phone and enable USB debugging mode. Open the software, under the ADB tab, click Change CSC, from the dropdown list select TMB and click Change. The phone will restart and CSC "Should" change to TMB/TMB/ATT.
Here is the download link for the software:

That did the trick. I have T-Mobile CSC now
Thanks a lot

Great!
But still, that's only one part of the final solution I think. Your target was to replace the complete firmware from ATT to TMB, right? Since the CSC is now changed to TMB, I think you can give it another try via ODIN to install the TMB firmware now (only if you want). I am not confident that it will work now, but still, one last try should not be much of a hassle.
I think that these multi CSC contain all US carrier customizations....When I changed it to TMB it shows TMB/TMB/ATT and loads bootlogo as well as TMobile apps... I guess it is similar as Blackberry used to be back in the days...Depending which carrier SIM used it loaded proper settings from the firmware...
I have flash my METROPCS G990U2 to G990U3,other sim card work fine,but t mobile sim card does not work ,can someone help me?I already change CSC to xxa,but still no internet,I do have sginal bar
