It is on those slow sites. I'm struggling to down load
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Which sites?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kenennaoyeka:
Samfrew or some. Took 6hrs to download....uploading to goolge drive now

I don't see VZW SGF on there

Verizon CSG4 on July U1 but no Night Mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Bootloader 6 for U1 is now up on SamFirm
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Night mode rolling out in build SGF for Verizon models. Other S9+ models will get it soon too, I'm sure

It's on frija now. Night mode Is kinda daft to me tho. Doesnt do anything
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RacerX10:
So I have an S9+ coming from Amazon, it's the U1 unlocked version. I'm currently on AT&T with my trusty old Nexus 6, and I'm switching to this S9+ when it arrives. I need wifi calling; am I correct in thinking that I need to flash over to an AT&T rom to get it ?

There are so many files out there, I'm not sure what to do or which file to get.

Also, can it be flashed back to unlocked at some future date ?

Sorry for the newb questions ... thanks !
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Wifi calling might work as is. If not, you'll need to flash a full AT&T firmware package including USERDATA. And yes, you can always go back to U1 firmware if desired
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RacerX10:
Oh awesome, I'll just leave it as is and try the WiFi calling first. Fingers crossed, thanks !
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Ex Nihilus:
I have a G965U (ATT) that doesn't receive OTA updates. It never has, even after I had the phone replaced. So I'm going to use Odin to flash updates. When I open Odin, I get a message that says:

"Please be sure to delete you Google Account (Samsung Account) before downloading the binary. It is not possible to use this device without unlocking. Changing the partition without unlocking will cause problems."

My question is, is this necessary? None of the Odin tutorials I've looked at mention this step.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I have never ever seen that message from Odin - ever. I don't even know where that message would appear. Are you sure that you're actually using Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Ex Nihilus:
Yes. It's 3.13.3. Is that the correct version? Or should I use 3.13.1? I got the file from odindownloader (dot) com
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Odin Downloader dot com doesn't sound very legitimate to me. I would personally never use an Odin version that I didn't find myself here on XDA. The version that you need to use has already been mentioned and discussed several times in this thread
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kenennaoyeka:
Yup. If u Google patched Odin, the first link is off xda
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RacerX10:
So .. it didn't :(

Any idea where I can find the correct files to flash AT&T .. my current baseband version is G965U1UES6CSG4
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
If your phone is not a carrier phone and especially if it's AT&T, you will not get wifi calling on the unlocked firmware on a AT&T phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
AT&T hasn't released a bootloader 6 update yet. So you're stuck until they do
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RacerX10:
That's why I'm trying to get the carrier firmware

---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------

Okay thanks for the info, where's the best place to watch for that release ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I'll post at least the USERDATA (and also the rest of the files if no other carrier gets the same update) whenever I get access to it

I don't understand this @ sammobile :

https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g...SM-G965U1/ATT/download/G965U1UES6CSG4/282402/

It says it's AT&T firmware, but the model is U1 which is not the carrier model # .. how can that be AT&T firmware.

Trying to find v6 bootloader AT&T firmware for S9+

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] YrrchSebor:
That confused me for a while too but I assume what it is is the U1 update released through AT&T f you are using their sim. So, not the AT&T branded firmware that you are looking for.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
If you want AT&T firmware, then you need U, not U1
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RacerX10:
Very strange, but thanks for the reply.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RacerX10:
When looking at firmwares on the SamFirm utility, I'm not finding any AT&T firmwares .. is that the wrong place to look ? For example, I just checked for my S8, and there is nothing listed for SM-G950U, only SM-G950U1 (just like on S9+)

Unlock tmobile g965u

Hi i have a unlocked tmobile sm-g965u G965USQU3ARG2 and never received the update.

If i can which files would i need to use?

I am still going through this forum, so much to read i dont want to mess up.

Any help would be great thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
"The update" is pretty vague. You're way back on bootloader 3, while the current latest version is 6. So you're talking about close to 10 different versions that have been released between what you currently have, and what the latest version is
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RacerX10:
So I've found this .. appears to be based on bootloader v6 .. does that mean the update firmware should be available somewhere now?

https://www.att.com/devicehowto/tut...89?make=Samsung&model=SamsungG965U&gsi=z24pi9

Thanks ...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Might be available somewhere. But I don't know. You'd have to look.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RacerX10:
I guess I'm confused .. isn't that what you were doing in the OP, posting firmwares otherwise unavailable to us plebes ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Yep. But if you scroll back, you'll find where I stated that I'll post bootloader 6 *when I get it*
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kenennaoyeka:
Have a Verizon S9+ on Cricket Wireless. Installed CSH1 after downloading it with Frija yesterday cos a friend out her Tmobile sim in it and gave me all Tmobile splash animations and userdata. I woke up to my amazement that Samsung had pushed CSH7 to my phone overnight. I'm gonna stay on the XAA software as it makes my life easier.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] YrrchSebor:
Be really glad that you're not on T-Mobile because they rarely push those updates. I had thought about getting a Cricket SIM just for the U1 updates haha, instead of having to use Odin. (I'm pretty sure that even though the updates come from Samsung, they have to be released to you from your carrier)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kenennaoyeka:
I have never received a push ota. I always use frija and odin. I was pleasantly surprised with an ota push cos I tot my CSC was veritably messed up as it registers as AIO/AIO/VZW. I believed Samsung would never update such a product code. Well I was wrong and I'm a happy customer. The new update is still on August patch tho but it was huge, 678MB agaisnt the regular 100MB or so for just a security update. Dont care much tho
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] YrrchSebor:
I think having the first two entries of your CSC match is good, the last one you can't change because that's the original make of your phone. Glad to hear it's working out. I downloaded that update this morning, saw that it is still August security patch but will flash with Odin anyway. Figure I'm not going to get it on T-Mobile lol
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kiapolo:
I was in the SAME situation as you. G965USQU3ARG2 and no OTA updates. I tried flashing the Pie firmware in Odin, but it would fail EVERY TIME! I even worked with T-mobile to see if they had a solution to get OTAs. Tmo told me to contact Samsung (thanks great help :rolleyes: ).

I was able to get to the Pie (and OTAs) by first flashing the Tmo Pie BETA with Odin: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s9-plus/help/stock-odin-firmware-download-t3872740

From there I could flash (Odin) the Official TMo Pie firmware. Once I flashed the Pie firmware, OTAs happened.

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] LOBO1K:
Thanks

So all i need to do is download and flash with odin then do the ota?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kiapolo:
You need to flash both the Tmo Pie BETA and then the Tmo Pie Official Firmware. Once you have the Tmo Pie Official, then you'll start getting OTAs. It will start updating from January or whenever and may take 3-4 OTA updates to get current. You can try flashing in Odin Pie Beta -> Pie Official -> the latest Pie firmware and skip during the multiple OTAs, but I haven't tried that.

You will likely end up wiping your device, so don't forget to back up.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
No, you don't need to do all of that. You can very easily just go directly to whatever the latest version is with one Odin flash - without wiping your device.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kenennaoyeka:
Yeah just get the latest files and use odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] LOBO1K:
Ok thank you one more question where do i get the latest file for tmobile?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
SamFirm or Frija
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kiapolo:
Try the latest version first. On both my S9+ the official and latest Pie firmware would NOT flash using Odin. I had to flash to the BETA, then flash the official firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
You were probably either using the wrong Odin version, or trying to downgrade the bootloader. Official firmware will always flash perfectly fine to any device, as long as you're doing it correctly
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] LOBO1K:
okay I downloaded the latest firmware and loaded all the files in Odin3_v3.13.1 (tried different odin), I get is stuck on is setupconnection.

I did a search on stuck on setupconnection odin tried all the fixes and that's where i am at.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
That's a USB error. Need to use a different port and/or cable, and/or restart your PC
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] LOBO1K:
Thanks all finally I figured it out, tried both my computers with no luck tried 4 different cables then i took kiapolo approach and it worked, downloaded the file he posted stock rom and then i went straight to pie update and all is good.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
You were using the Patched version of Odin, right?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] LOBO1K:
I tried so many different odins including the patch one on my desktops with no luck and I forgot to mention i used my laptop with the patched odin and it worked great.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
The Patched one is the only one you need because it's the only one that'll work

Hi , sorry if this is a noob question, I have a t mobile s9+ that is unlocked. Using it with total wireless on the verizon network. I can't make calls and use data at the same time. Total wireless says it's because I don't have a volte setting in my t mobile phone. Is it possible to flash my phone to a a factory unlocked version that would have that setting? Or even another carriers? Since each carrier phone hardware wise is the same these days, it's just a matter of getting the right settings?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mnlv:
I got Att S9+ and flashed unlocked U1 firmware. After inserting t-mobile and restart to get carrier setting, it shows tmo/tmo/att which is strange as i never had installed tmo firmwear.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] lickwid:
Is there an Xfinity (CCT) specific flashable firmware available? I currently have the S8 and in order for certain functions to work properly, I had to flash my unlocked model to the Xfinity specific firmware. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mc_365:
What SIM did you use to set it up?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kevindevonwilliams:
A UK sim, EE is the carrier.

---------- Post added at 10:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------

What I notice with the U1 firmware is that it would install the features base on the SIM that is used. So since you using T-Mobile SIM it would set up as T-Mobile...

Maybe Samsung changed their U1 firmware on the S9 model cause with the Note 8 I never had this issue
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mc_365:
Ok that makes sense, that's from a us carrier standpoint a international SIM.

So yes if you us any major us SIM while in the US region it will down load the carries settings to your phone when you insert the sim and reboot.

Since I don't have access to SIM like yours, I can not get my phone to XAA/XAA/XAA. This had me stumped for a while since I'm new to Samsung Devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] DJC_SP:
Is this the U or U1 TMB firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] billcows:
How do I go back to unlocked after flashing to VZW?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kevindevonwilliams:
Flashing the U1 firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mc_365:
Do a hard Reset, Flash the U1 Firmware with the CSC file and no userdata.

You may need a modified odin if you get the SHA256 error.

What was your experience after flashing to VZW, I curious as I did the same and am now back to the Stock U1 Firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] billcows:
The vzw flash ran well I just want to go back so I can put my ATT sim back. I do get that SHA error. What do I modify in odin?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kevindevonwilliams:
You need the modified version of Odin to flash the U1 firmware.

Use this https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4446947&d=1521037501

When you insert an ATT sim or any other provider SIM besides Verizon, are you prompt for an unlock code or something?

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
That's the entire purpose of this thread. So yes, it's possible to change the firmware. However, I can't guarantee that that option will appear on either firmware. You'll just have to try it and see what happens
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mhurd72992:
So I can't find any working links for the flash? and what exactly is odin. I'm very new to XDA, is there any kind of chat where other members might be able to help me sort this out in real time? I don't mind reading, but 50+ pages is a lot to take in.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
You can always get the newest/latest version via SamFirm or Frija

AWS isn't a valid CSC/Region. Not sure where you got that from
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mhurd72992:
Ok, so I got one for USA TMB. There were 4 usa options, only the tmb had an actual file associated. Kind of feels like tmb is an acronym for T mobile though. But the U1 is the unlocked version of the phone? does that make sense?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
XAA is the correct CSC to use for obtaining U1 firmware, no matter which model it is
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mhurd72992:
So I don't see XAA listed anywhere in the file i'm DLing from samfirm. However I'm downloading an android 8.0 file for odin that is XAA, can I upgrade from 8.0 to 9.0after I install it?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Why would you download an old version? You might not even be able to flash it, depending on the current bootloader version of your phone.

Just stick to SamFirm. Plus, it's faster than any other download source
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mhurd72992:
Because you said to look for an XAA version lol. Noob mistake. I get the idea that odin an samfirm are different programs that do the same thing?

Like I said, I can only find one g965u file through samfirm. Hopefully it works. Do I need to root the phone or anything to reflash it? I enabled debugging, and that's about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Yes, they're different programs. No, they don't do the same thing. SamFirm is a tool for downloading Samsung firmware from their servers. Odin is a tool for flashing the firmware to the device.

What I meant by XAA is to type "XAA" as the Region in SamFirm.

It's impossible to root these models, and root is never required in order to flash firmware. Debugging isn't needed either
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mhurd72992:
Ok, so I have the files downloaded, I think I loaded them in to odin, the corresponding file name/type to each box. Then hit start. and nothing. How do I set up odin to talk with the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
If you're new to manually flashing Samsung firmware, I recommend you consult one of the "beginner's guide to Odin flash" -type posts/threads - there are tons of them here on XDA. Flashing firmware is not something that you want to just blindly attempt without any idea how
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RacerX10:

Well if it failed, then yes, I would expect nothing to have changed on your phone. But that's not enough info to diagnose the error - we need to know exactly what it showed in Odin and on your phone screen, at the moment that it failed
