g975U1 August security patch ASGF update released

Got notification this morning for a 217mb update ending in ASGF. Pretty weird since we just got the July patch only two weeks ago, after not getting an update in over two months. Definitely not complaining though! Sorry if repost

I don't see that update on my G975U1

I got it too. August US unlocked

Just got the update!

is available via samfirm

Unfortunately i just switched over to carrier firmware for faster updates. Now Samsung finally does it right. At least carriers should be releasing it in a week or two.
Sent from my SM-G975U using XDA Labs

Whats new in this August update?

No idea. There are no details listed on the Samsung website or in the notification popup. I mean the security patch has been brought up to date (August) but other than that, I can't say.

Got the notification today.... Hopefully someone can breakdown what is in the update because 200+mb is rather hefty right?

what sim are you guys using to get this ota update?

U1 updates are released by Samsung. One gets a U1 update as long as one has a existing U1 firmware irrespective of the SIM.

I believe you have been misinformed. Please be patient and wait for the update to show up on your phone if you are already on U1 firmware or download the latest U1 firmware using Frija and Odin flash. All the very best.

Update is due to a exploit in the chip. Some one can take control of our phones if we are on the same wifi. Kudos for the fast update.

I updated and now I don't get icons on my lock screen for notifications. Anybody else have the same problem?

975u1 August Firmware Patch T mobile
Hello,
I have a US unlocked 975u1 and use Tmobile. No one seems to know what I am talking about with an Aug Update. I have spent time on the Phone with Samsung and Tmob customer service. Stuck on July patch ASCB. Night mode is still disabled. Samsung Switch has nothing on it as of this morning.
How do I get the firmware everyone else is on? If I get a sim card from another carrier, does that sim need to be activated in order to get the latest patch? I am clueless here.

U1 firmware with the August security patch and Night mode is available and does end in ASGF.
Unless you flashed T-Mobile firmware on your U1 model or you purchased an unlocked U1 with T-Mobile firmware already installed (I'm not sure how to check that in the settings but U1 firmware doesn't come with any T-Mobile branded apps) you should be receiving OTA updates from Samsung rather than T-Mobile.
The U1 OTA update was pushed weeks ago making it the only OTA update we received before the carriers.
If you have T-Mobile firmware you could flash the U1 firmware manually and receive OTA updates from Samsung but you will lose T-Mobile branded apps that aren't available in the Play Store. The U1 firmware has also been receiving updates long after the carriers prior to August--in early July we were still on the May security patch.
If you manually flash VZW or SPR firmware as the other member suggested don't flash the User Data partition or you will also get Verizon or Sprint's apps and bloatware. If you do manually flash either of those you will no longer receive OTA updates and will need to keep manually flashing updates in the future.

So I bought my phone directly from Samsung. USA version with snapdragon processor and its non-branded to any carrier, basically an unlocked Galaxy S10+. Its model number is sm-g975u1. Sim card is from Tmobile, my cell phone carrier.. I have software from July 1st, g975u1ueu2ASGB
What do you recommend in my scenario.
Thank you

I would look for the ASGF U1 firmware for U1 with Frija or SamFirm. I'm not sure why you didn't get the OTA.

Samsung pay n975u1 in Canada?

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.
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117912211
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.

Changing S20 5G to unbranded

I bought a used S20 (SM-G981U) and it was branded U.S. Cellular. I successfully changed the CSC to XAA and that got rid of the branding. I checked the "Software Details" screen and it says XAA/XAA/USC. Do I need to flash a new firmware to be able to get OTA updates from Samsung? I am currently stuck on Android 10 and OneUI 2.5 because it was U.S. Cellular and when I check for updates, it says none are available.

How did you change to xaa? I know there are tutorials but none have worked for me. I have a tmb branded and unlocked......I was able to get stock Samsung on it but still shows tmb/tmb/tmb in the settings. I am trying to switch it to the att stock firm

Change Active CSC Code to Firmware CSC Code

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"

Question AT&T G990U2 to T-Mobile or unbranded firmware help needed

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):
Download Galaxy S21 FE 5G SM-G990U2 (TMB) G990U2SQS4EWC3 in Samfw - Samsung firmware download

samfw.com
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​
