Tmobile S20+ with VZW Android 12 ROM?? - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions &

I'm sure it's been asked already but I can't find any threads on it.
Seems like every carrier is getting Android 12 on the S20 line EXCEPT T-mobile.
I have an s20+ that is still under contract and carrier locked.
Is there any way to use the VZW firmware on it? Co-worker has same phone on VZW and has same FW version base (G986USQS2).
His full version is G986USQS2EVA4 which is android 12. My current firmware is G986USQS2DUJ7 which is obviously android 11.
Can I download and flash the files from VZW from samfw.com? Would I need to change CSC?
Or could I just pop in a VZW Sim (even though it's locked to TMO) and it would just download the FW?
Thanks for any help.. It's REALLY frustrating that even Xfinity and comcast are getting it already but not Tmobile............
There is a REASON I bought a flagship from a major carrier.. Updates... But seems like tmobile is in last place to get it figured out.

[help] convert s9 G960U to global rom?

I want to covert my phone AT&T G960U to global rom? Help me
I actually don't believe you really can to be honest. The 960U is the US unlocked variant. So even if you wanted the vanilla feel you wouldn't get it. From my experience, each carrier has been using the same variant of the S9 so they would just rebrand it with a OTA update.
Personally I've switched from Cricket (Original Purchase) to Boost (Boost ROM loaded) to Straight Talk (Verizon) with no issues except one. Which has to do with Sprints activation crap. The latest carrier switch has a default boot screen from Samsung.
You may be able to flash a rom using odin that isn't carrier branded. Like I said though, I'm pretty sure if its activated an OTA update fixes you up either way.

Need to install T-mobile software on AT&T Unlocked Note 10+.

I bought a new AT&T Note 10+ from someone and then unlocked it. I have T-Mobile as carrier. I can use it with t-mobile for general use. But I am reading there are some features that wont work even with this generation of phones. Such as VoLTE and Video Chat and may be small other features . Also Voice mail default T-mobile app wont work either.
When I search I find many people have Flashed their phones with T-Mo firmware on Samsung unlocked devices. But i could not find any reference to T-Mo downloaded on a AT&T unlocked phone.
Any suggestions. If it is possible to wipe out AT&T from it and make it a T-Mobile operating system.
Thanks.
I have a At&t Note 10+5g and running latest update from T-mobile using Frija to find the latest firmware and Odin to flash the firmware to the phone.
Download manual samfrew.com or change csc

I am thinking about doing this. Just to confirm you have a galaxy note 10+ N975U from ATT and you're getting 5G through Tmobile on Band 71?
U might want check ur model numbers as n975u is not 5g.

It's wierd because T Mobile isn't mm wave 5G, it runs on Band 71 which e n975u supports. So I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to get 975u to do 5G on Band 71.

Thanks for the fast reply!
You'll need to flash the combination firmware and use Realterm to change the CSC from ATT to TMB, I think I saw instructions for multi csc device changing, should work for your device as well.

Try *#272*imei# to change your csc.

Tmobile uses a mix of mmwave and band n71.
And the band 71 thing is a bit more then that. They list it as band n71.. which (after reading on it) is not setup the same as band 71. Guess you can think of it like how wifi 6 works.
The n975u and n975u1 just don't have the hardware support for accessing/using band n71
I got frustrated searching for T-Mobile SM-N976U but just got AT&T unlocked SM-N976U. Thiniking of flashing T-Mobile firmware. Thank you OP for the forum, else I would have been stuck on AT&T firmware.

First of all, you are a gentlemen and a scholar!! all this worked
AND i like to add the following to carrier unlock your phone.
the *#272# imei # thing does work to switch back and forth from att to tmo to att.
I got att locked phone and want it to work on tmobile. A lot on swappa going for MUCH cheaper than the tmobile phone!
went here to follow link to ask att for carrier unlock code
https://www.usmobile.com/blog/how-to-unlock-your-phone-from-any-carrier/
it says you'll get the unlock code in 24-48 hours. I got it in 15 seconds. well took me longer to log in and check status!
I flashed everything per @visualpro instructions. everyhting worked except the pop...i'm on tmobile. it said invalid sim. to me that said FU, i'm carrier locked and you on tmobile. so i did the *#272 thing went back to att. rebooted and it asked me for carrier unlock code. inserted carrier unlock code that i got instantly.
it unlocked and i did the *# thing and went back to tmobile and everything is all good to go!!
This was originally a att note 10+ 5g, as you can see it's now a TMobile unit!!
That's great it all worked out!!.. My mistake that I didn't specify mine that it was already unlocked AT&T phone. That was cool when you use *#272 imei and went back and unlocked it Credit goes to user @tyrone1 for that tip!
I was simply frustrated with higher T-Mobile prices on Swappa and after searching XDA many time, got the AT&T variant. On Samsung page it would show was Galaxy Note10+ 5G 256GB (AT&T) MODEL NUMBER: SM-N976UZKAATT.. but as long I'm getting fully T-mobile features, I'm all set

That's what I was saying too. On swappa they a premium for the tmobile version. Almost 100 bucks more. I got mine for 100 less than the cheapest tmobile one and it had 2 cases and a 512 SD card for 600 bucks. I saw the regular note 10 going for 690 lol.
Love xda!!!
Do I need to enter developer mode and enable USB debugging or anything before I do these steps with the 10 plus 5g? Also got the 10 plus non 5g can I do this to skip going to u1? Can I just flash from u att to u tmo and then do the IMEI trick or do I still need to go u1 first? Thanks
Can anyone confirm which 5G bands they have got working with this switch, also looking to bring AT&T SM-N976U over to T-Mobile.
Thanks.

SM-T837A not updating to android 10

Hi. I have the AT&T LTE version of the tab s4, SM-T837A. I read that the android 10, One UI 2.1 update for my device went live a month ago, but I'm not receiving any updates. I'm on android 9, One UI 1.1. It says I'm up to date. Any ideas how I can get this update? Does anyone know a safe place I can download it from and do it manually? Sammobile doesn't seem to have it... At least, I can't find it.
If it matters, I don't have a SIM card currently installed on the tablet.
Thanks for your help.
-Dave
because your info is wrong. only the samsung stock versions got the update. all carriers are lagging behind as usual. still waiting for my Tmobile variant also. you can look on sammobile.com and browse the firmware database to confirm what i'm talking about. T837A didn't get the update yet. it;s still on 9
Yes I have the same question. I found only the wifi model is updated to Android 10. Has anyone on a carrier device flashed the wifi version?

Not only wifi version & other variants, except USA carries (verizon,t-mobile etc)

No you can't, if the device is locked to the carrier...you have to wait update from your carrier ,if it gives the upgrade of course
Att issued the update a few weeks ago, and a smaller update hit my T837a today. It contains September security update and a new radio firmware. link to imgbb if the attachment doesn't work as I'm getting an NGINX error. I been here since 2007 never seen such before...

Still won't update
I have the AT&T version of the Tab S4 and it still shows I'm up to date, yet I'm still on the January 1, 2020 security patch does anyone know what to do?
I am in the same boat. AT&T Tab S4 will not update. Is there any way to manually flash? I don't see the update available to download
Complain to att. I pissed and moaned to online live chat support after the international version got it's update. Complained every couple of weeks until finally they asked for my imei, then a few weeks later I checked for updates and it did the 10 update.

Updating an SM-N975F/DS in Canada

So please forgive me if this has been answered before, but I have not been able to zero in on an answer to my problem by searching the forums.
I recently bought an international SM-N975F/DS that I bought through a reseller in Canada. The home region is Vietnam. I am using SIMs from Telus and Roger's. This is my first international version of a phone that I have owned.
I would like to upgrade to the latest firmware but the phone is telling me that I am up to date. I'm happy to wait for the the regional update, but i am not sure it will be triggered while I use the phone in Canada.
I am open to flashing another version of the firmware in order to get the update, but I am confused as to what version to use. Since the dual sim version of the phone was never released in Canada, I'm not sure what version of the firmware I should download.
Also, if I am able to switch the region to one where Samsung Pay will work in Canada, I would love to do that. I'm not sure which country version will work here.
And my final question.... if I do flash a different region will it update manually or will I have to download and flash each new software update and security patch?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
I believe you need to figure out which sm-n975F receives the fastest updates and then flash to that specific region .

can someone help ME

I have a note10+ t-mobile carrier. I bought it in china and still living here. It works fine, but on android 9, one UI 1.5 SM-N975U, the phone keeps asking me for an update which I did once and blocked my sim card after, so I had to return it. They back for me android 9 . my question is if I want to flash my phone to another carrier, it should also be t-mobile or USA, and can I do it with an open carrier, which I can use with any sim card?
and before flashing, what the most important things, I have to be careful when it comes to firmware or the phone model?
if someone can share with me the link of firmware I can use with the newest android I can install that would be awesome
my CSC is: N975USQS2ASJ8
service provider SW ver
