Fellas, I have unlocked AT&T Note 10+ 5G that I am using with MetroPCS! I really don't like all the AT&T branding and AT&T Apps on it. How can flash it with a stock unbranded firmware like as if its a factory unlocked version. I know how to flash firmwares but wanted to confirm which firmware to use? Currently its on Android 10! Thank you in advance.
Have you sim unlocked?
You can flash the unlocked version.

It is sim unlocked. Can you point out the exact firmware please! TY
you need to know the version of your phone - SM-N976U or what?
this is what you can find

as far as I know there's no unlocked version of this version for the NA market
but please check up for yourself and see
what you can do if you can't find any - use the adb commands and disable every app which is not of your linking
unless you want to root, which is another different story

Ok I got it! After flashing it, I tried the *#272*imei number# method and it worked. Wondering if even needed to flash it with another firmware as it removed the branding and AT&T apps by the *#272*imei number# method!!! Thank you for help and time!!!!!!

Has anyone here on Verizon gotten the OREO update or do we know if Verizon is included in the beta testing? I have seen that only the SM-G955U1 firm wares have received it. Just wondering and looking for info.
You'd need to flash the unlocked firmware to get the beta.
Ive read that the beta is going to Sprint and T-Mobile only US wise...unless you register from the unlocked firmware I guess. But there may be a way to get it on verizon if they pull the update before it installs.
I read that in the US it was only Sprint and T-Mobile, and the rest of the world had to be on unlocked firmware.

Ya I tried the unlocked firmware and still did not get it, must have been to late.
Everyone, all you need to do to get the beta, on ANY us s8 or s8+
1. Odin QG1
2. Apply QG1 To QGL ota (stock recovery)
3. Apply oreo beta aka QGL to ZQJJ (stock recovery)
That's it. Proven. Confirmed. Fool proof.

I got this to work on my Verizon Galaxy s8+. You need to install unlocked firmware and the Odin Verizon userdata file, then use Odin to install the at&t QG1, then adb update to the right QG1, then adb install QJJ. Then you are done, and you will have all the Verizon bloat, including wifi, video, and hd calling.
Edit: I also added a screenshot showing that I am on Oreo, and that my service provider is Verizon.
It works for all US s8 and s8+

I wasn't able to go to ATT QG1 with Verizon firmware installed, so I had to go to unlocked G955U1 fimwere then flash ATT G955USQS1AQG1, the adb update to ATT G955USQU1AQG1 and then adb update again to QJJ.
There are two different AQG1 builds, you need to be on QU1AQG1 not QS1QG1 to install the Oreo QJJ update via adb.
I heard you could just flash the unlocked firmware and use a Verizon sim. Nothing extra, info is posted on Galaxy S8 reddit

Hey all. Having a "duh" moment. Which firmware do I download for an unlocked N975F-DS for use in the USA on T-Mobile?
I don't see USA in the Samsung list of firmware for this device.
Thank you!
Stick to whatever you have or the XAA firmware if that's what's its still called. There's no T-Mobile FW for the N975F, you have the Exynos model, the firmware for T-Mobile is snapdragon based and will end up bricking your device if you install it.
Thank you, minhajmsd. I should have been more clear. I want to root using Dr. Ketan's method, and I firmware download is "required".
"How to root Note10/Note 10+ & Flash TWRP (Exynos only)"
Are you saying to find the same FW that's on it now and use that?
And, should I change the CSC file to the T-Mobile one?
Thank you again. I'm out of the loop.....

If it's T-Mobile US in CSC go for it, last time I was able to root was with the note8 and I remember going for the XAA one, at the time I don't think there was a T-Mobile US one.
I have the Note 8 as well, rooted. Great phone. Just thought I needed a change, and give my daughter the 8.
I'll double check in the dr.ketan thread as well.
Thanks again.
Hi folks, I came across several posts mentioning cross compatibility between the U and the U1 variants. I have a Samsung Canada bought unlocked Ultra with the 988W code. Since its a unlocked snapdragon version, could someone please let me know if I can use ODIN and flash the latest snapdragon compatible firmware or are there any restrictions? I am using the device in Canada with a Canadian sim, however the super delayed updates here have been beyond frustrating!
All help is appreciated.

Works fine. You can flash latest TMB ATE6 to it. Use Home CSC to maintain your current data.

No problem to flash with T-mobile (G988U) for G988w canada ?
Wish I found out about this sooner. Just flashed my S20 (981W) to 981U and it seems to work great. Also as a bonus the disable shutter sound option now shows in the camera settings.
I flashed the t-mobile (TMB) firmware using AP_G981UXXXX, BL_G981UXXXX, CP_G981UXXXX and HOME_CSC_OMC_OYN_G981UXXXX.

I had to setup samsung pass again but it downloaded all my saved passes afterwards. Samsung pay seems to work with no errors. Same with samsung health.
Will this work with any SM-G988W (i.e. bought through a carrier)? I know in Canada all cell phones must be unlocked by law so I'm wondering if there is any difference vs one purchased directly through Samsung.
Update:
I pulled the trigger and loaded the T-Mobile ATE6 firmware on my Freedom Mobile purchased s20u phone with the home_csc option. As far as I can tell, everything is working as before (LTE, VoLTE, Wifi-calling).
Obviously YMMV, and make sure to backup beforehand.
Should work. All firmware is the same in Canada across all carriers from what I've seen.
https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G988W
For the above link all carriers show G988WVLS1ATD3 having the same build date and md5 checksum (8955d9a2845891fe5c8b646b3835cddf) when you click on one of the links.

It stresses me out a bit.
I want this ate6 update for the camera.
On the other topic of G988U and U1, he mentions that you have to flash with the version U1 ATE4 TMB first and then the ATE6 of U TMB
did you do that or did you go directly from g988wvls1atd3 to TMB ATE6U ??
with the HOME_CSC_OMC_OYN_G988UOYN1ATE6 without the userdata_tmb?

Not sure what g988u summer and all that means, but you can flash directly with ATE6 and Home CSC if you want to keep your existing data, no problem at all.

you can unlock bl on 9880 so it can be flashed.. whether it works or not i dunno
You folks should know that running a U or U1 fw in Canada makes you miss out on some carrier related features because the U and U1 are for USA. So LTE bands might be missing, WiFi calling, spam detection, Volte, etc...some or all of those features will be missing.

I'm absolutely sure that you can do that.
I have tried it yesterday and successfully changed the model.
But, you can't flash it via ordinary Odin. You have use a patched Odin which can be found in XDA and flash the u1 firmware in it.

Hey shorty I bought it used with U firmware and just to be safe to make sure it's stock and the fact U (and W) versions didn't get much updates, I flashed with the U1.

Hey I'm not too sure if you mean this, but yes mine is factory unlocked (actually a dev/demo device). And yes on Canadian network. You can always flash with the newest ATT ROM if yours is from ATT but hasn't gotten updates. Just make sure it indeed is the right model.

I did not keep user data so not sure if you can or should. But I think if you're switching model/CSC, the general consensus is to do a clean flash. If you just want to enable Canadian bands that are disabled on a US device, you can search up a way to do so I think using engineering mode.

If you're on any of the U or U1 firmware, I think you can safely flash to any other U/U1 without any issues. I usually cross reference with samfw and Frija too. Have a wonderful day too friend.
Would this enable Sim for phones without it? The SM-F9360 does not have esim support, could be software, I hope.
Can i go from U to W and then root? Or not possible?
Can I go from ATT and flash TMO variant if the model number is the same? SM-F936U? The phone is unlocked FYI. [email protected]
