OTA after Flashing different carrier Firmware - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

I bought a Note 10 + that was supposed to be an new SM-N975U
When I fired it up it was Verizon but network unlocked - as I put in my T-Mobile SIM and it worked (Kind of OK - WiFi Calling did not work)
It received a LOT of OTA Updates I let it go and even ended up on Android 12
So I flashed it with the same (N975USQS7HVD1) TMB firmware - from SamMobile and also changed the CSC to TMB.
Everything works fine now.
Since then I have not received any OTA updates. But that was only May 5 so maybe no updates since then?

OK I will answer my own question.
I received 2 updates today, so it will get OTA updates after flashing a new / different firmware and changing CSC

*NOTE* This firmware is free of all carrier bloat, but will also cause you to lose some features, depending on your carrier.
TMO - Advanced Messaging and Video Calling
SPR - Unknown
ATT - VoLTE, WiFi Calling, Advanced Messaging
VZW - Unknown - used to be WiFi Calling, but it has been reported to work on the S10+
Downloads Moved to Post #2​The Samsung Galaxy S10 series of devices with Snapdragon chipsets are universally compatible with each other's firmware, and can be swapped between Carrier-branded and US unbranded. This thread is for the S10+ and you will find firmware links in the next post.​
Before downloading, please read some important notes:​
You must use a modified version of Odin to flash these firmwares
You can update to a newer build of the same carrier firmware and keep your data intact if you use the CSC HOME
You must be SIM unlocked if you are trying to use a SIM from a different carrier than you purchased the device from
Flashing the U1 Unbranded firmware will remove carrier bloat, but it will NOT affect SIM lock status
In order to convert between U and U1 firmware, you MUST factory reset and leave your SIM card in the device after flashing in order for the conversion to be successful
VZW Mirror link?
When can we expect a VZW mirror link?

It wasn't available as of my posting the other day. I'm away for the weekend, but can check tomorrow night to see if it's available to grab.

Sorry I'm a little new to Samsung firmware flashing. But I have an unlocked Snapdragon S10+ that I'm using on T-Mobile would I be able to flash this update and then been on the T-Mobile variant firmware or will I need to flash something different as this is a small update?
Looking to get all the benefits I can from T-Mobile firmware like advanced messaging that I heard the T-Mobile variants get.
Thank you!

You have an S10+ directly from Samsung? Yes, you can flash the T-Mobile firmware and will essentially have a TMO device. You will need to wipe your data in order to convert properly from U1 to U firmware.
Does the T-Mobile Firmware include all of the T-Mobile bloatware apps?

Any non-U1 firmware will have the carrier bloat. Your SIM card determines what gets installed.
Added the U1 Unbranded firmware in Post #1
Can you flash the U1 unbranded firmware on a Verizon phone or do you need a U1 firmware for Verizon to remove all the carrier bloatware and restrictions?

U1 can be flashed on all Snapdragon S10+ single SIM models. You will have to factory reset after flashing in order to convert properly.

I have a verizon SM-G975U. It's unlocked and I use a TMobile sim. Can I simply flash the TMB firmware using odin on the verizon s10+ and it will be branded as Tmobile?
I contacted Samsung and they have not released the BYOD update yet like they have with my S9+, where the firmware automatically updates with whatever sim card is in the phone.

Not sure what BYOD update you're referring to. You can flash the U1 firmware and have a phone working on T-Mobile, but without Advanced Messaging and Video Calling from the dialer. Or you can flash the TMO firmware and have all features supported, including the light bloatware included.

When I change sim cards from one carrier to another carrier, it automatically changes the firmware. It does it on my S9+. Example: I have a verizon sim in my S9+, everything is all verizon, bloatware, startup screen etc. If I put my Tmobile sim in, it changes everything to tmobile, splash screen and all tmobile bloatware and verizon is removed. After looking to see why it does this, it's an update from Samsung that they put out called BYOD (bring your own device.) Only available for s8 and s9 models right now.

I thought it would have done it on the S10+ but it's not available yet.

Hmm. I'd be surprised if the S10 series don't already support it, and the rep you spoke to was confused. The S8 and Note 9 did it fresh out of the box, verified personally by me when I switched both of my TMO devices to VZW for updates not yet available to TMO.

Nope, it doesn't support it yet. I wish it did but I guess I'll just flash the firmware to TMobile's.

The note 9 support on pie maybe if you flash the U1 firmware?

I have a question if you don't mind. I just flashed my S10 Plus unlocked U1 version to the AT&T variant of the U version firmware. Right now I am on G975USQU1ASAT. I believe the G975UQU1ASBA is the newest update. I don't see the update on my phone via OTA though. Is it just slower for AT&T or I will need to flash it manually using Odin for all updates going forward?

Do you have VoLTE and WiFi Calling available? If you do not, then AT&T isn't recognizing your IMEI and won't push the OTAs to you.

Yes I can use VoLTE and WiFi calling after flash from U1 to U. This is actually the main reason why I did the flash. I am a bit concerned about no OTA update yet though.

My Galaxy S9 SM-G960U1 haven't got Android 10 Update Yet ?

Hi,
XDA Community
So my inquiry today, is that
i realised samsung has just roll out the Android 10 Update for S9 devices, on Feb 2
but my phone is not getting updated yet via OTA, like always
I had no problem getting Android 9 (Pie) when it released.
but now, i am so confused, why my phone is not getting the update.
Well, i looked into SAMMOBILE official page, and some carriers of my model [SM-G960U1]
have already the Android 10 Update,
so my question here is, wich one of those sammobile.com - samsung - galaxy-s9 -firmware - #SM-G960U1]
, is my correct update or firmware
i figure out is the Uknown (XAA) Version [sammobile.com - samsung- galaxy-s9 - firmware - SM-G960U1 - XAA - download - G960U1UEU7DTA5 - 314846], but i need to be sure
so here we are, i need some help to get the correct firmware for my S9.
The things is that the PDA and CSC are the same on each Carrier, and is difficult to identify
i never had that issue with previous phones like S6, S3 or S7.
also, i looked into IME PAGE INFO, and says that is : XAG Version -> IMEI.info: CSC XAG
so, that confuse me.
NOTE: AND not MY Phone is not Rooted, i keep it official since i bought it.
so for you, i have the ADB Lines: of my S9 Phone:
[ril.debug.ntc]: [M:VZW, S:TFN, T:CDM, C:USA]
[ril.region_props]: [TFN.TFN]
[ril.product_code]: [SM-G960UZKATFN]

XAA is one of several multi CSC firmware sets. Just flash it in Odin, youll be fine. HOME_CSC to not have it factory reset and CSC to have it factory fresh.

very insightful.... posts like these are the glue that keeps this community together :: facepalm ::
Thanks to all,
i just figure out, that my device support XAA and TFN Carriers, and i just get the Android 10 update, today.
for some one that this can help
to switch between XAA or TFN, just depend on what type of SIM you are using, both can work on this samsung s9 model, the phone will automatically reboot and swith the best for you (XAA or TFN)
Have a great day!

Flash the October one?
If you flashed a different CSC to the one your phone was running, and it's not included in the phones Multi-CSC / The update for the new firmware is different to the original CSC firmware, then it will not receive OTA

all other operators builds are different from att. for example, I cannot get aug G981USQU1BTH2 build or oct G981USQU1BTIH build from another operator. apparently no other carrier uses these builds or they do not appear for download on the web. I already tried installing a preview of those other operator builds to see if it caught ota without success. I have also tried it with the USERDATA att and without

Question Cannot update OnePlus 9 pro (T-Mobile) above 11.2.1.1 firmware

Hi dears, please help me to update my oneplus device.
I am having OnePlus 9 pro device with details below
Model: LE2127
Software version: 11.2.1.1.LE5ACB
Network Unlocked
I bought the device from someone who came from USA, and I am currently living outside the US.
When I looked at the net I found that the T-Mobile should came with 11.2.2.2.LE5ACB, but mine came with older variant?
When I try to update the firmware using OTA, I get the following message:
Your system is up to date
Android version: 11
Android security update: February 1, 2021
I prefer to not switch to Global firmware ( coz I am scared that I will brick the phone ).
Is there any way to update my software to the latest provided by T-Mobile
I'm same as but my android version 11.2.9.9.LE5ACB.
I'm check update in setting.

Mine updated to it when I got the phone last week. You said you bought it from someone that came from the US, it is possible since it is a T-Mobile branded phone, it will only update on the T-Mobile network.
You can try factory reset and check update ( First you can backup data )

This seems a reasonable cause, but why it has older version than T-Mobile release which is 1.2.2.2.LE5ACB?
Also, can I somehow use proxy to fake the ip address or there is no way?
Check oxygen updater app for latest version download. Since your device is unlocked it prevents OTA. Happy modding!
