G960U firmware needed.

I see the firmware that you have posted. however, i'm having trouble locating the one i need. Mine is a G960USQS3ARI6. Which is the one that is on the phone. i'm trying to bypass the google verification, because the person i'm doing this for has several google accounts and forgot the password to the one associated to his verizon samsung galaxy S9. This is the one i'm having trouble with. I don't have the csc file for this phone, that's been hard to obtain...cause i don't trust too many sites. I need help....like last week.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Official 9 Pie is up for the U model!

Can be gotten from SamFirm using Region CCT (Xfinity Mobile). Anyone can flash it though - doesn't matter what carrier you're using or which carrier the phone is originally from.

Happy flashing!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] NostalgiaforEternity:
Thanks a bunch! got it flashed from the beta with home_csc and it's working flawlessly and with no reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Pie is finally here for the U1 model! If you can't pull it via OTA, firmware can be grabbed via Sammobile or SamFirm
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] basil 8386:
Change the carrier by command in combination

First check the build of your phone, the last 5 will look something like this e3rf2, the 3 is the build number (revision). Download the combination file with the same revision, then using adb change the carrier, write stock firmware back and it will boot

Hi, I have a US t-mobile S9+ (SM-G965U) , carrier unlocked. (my build version ends with ARG7)

I am trying to use it on At&T. I am able to use it directly on on At&T abut I need to get at&t visual voicemail working on this phone (when I go to app store it says at&t visual voicemail is not compatible with this phone). I don't care if about branding (t-mobile/at&t bloatware, wifi calling etc). What is that I need to do to get at&t visual voicemail working on this phone ? Any help will be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] .dan:
has anybody used both the unlocked pie vs tmobile pie to compare? im interested if the unlocked firmware is worth the switch.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Well you probably need to flash either AT&T firmware or U1 firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] hoolahoous:
thanks [MENTION=3163377]iBowToAndroid[/MENTION] , I see following files for RG7 folder as listed in first post --

G960U_RG7_3.zip

USERDATA_AIO_G960USQU3ARG7_CL13916502_QB19096130_REV01_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5.7z

USERDATA_ATT_G960USQU3ARG7_CL13916502_QB19096130_REV01_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5.7z

are these enough to flash with odin ? apologies if my questions should noob, i am flashing s9 for first time, so wanted to confirm from experts. Also I read somewhere that IMEI need to be listed in AT&T database for some features. Is that true ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Well you only use one USERDATA - that of the carrier that you're flashing to. But otherwise yes. And I have no idea on the IMEI thing
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] hoolahoous:
okay.. trying now.. used ATT userdata + regular CSC (not home) + BL + AP + CP but got 'FAIL ! Model mismatch fail'.

any idea what could be wrong ? is firmware for S9 and S9+ different ?

EDIT: never mind. stupid me. I found they are different. I found the right version ( https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s9-plus/how-to/g965u-g965u1-firmware-links-t3763487 ) and now flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] hoolahoous:
okay i went from tmo u -> u1 -> att u.

now it works fine. I am on android 8. I thought once I flash att version I will be able to pull latest ATT pie version automatically. However, my phone says, everything is up to date with a very old July , 2018 version. Any idea how to pull latest OTA ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Droios:
Would you mind to explain what do the directories name stand for on your download link? RGB, RH7, RJ2? I know the U1 firmware is for the US Unlocked version of the phone that I need but I am not sure which one is what,

Hi everone,

I have this problem for two days now. I flashed different roms including official ones in hope to solve this issue but I failed. Whenever I press wifi power button it processes then nothing happens, it's always off!! any help will be appreciated!! Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] th.android:
Guys I'm having an issue during video playback. When there is a dark scene the blacks of the display are so deep they're crushing the details of the scene and the picture looks almost like a pastel drawing. There is also severe colour banding in dark scenes.

This happens on Netflix, YouTube, native video app, etc.

I've tried changing the colour modes to no avail. It also happens regardless of brightness settings.

I didn't have this issue on my S8.

Anyone else having this problem? I'm wondering if it's a hardware problem or codec issue.

[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] Gaio1984:
You and other hundred of people including me.. and I don't understand why but we should start receiving the b123 that everyone lready receives.. we can't either go to firmware finder and update. Because our imeis aren't approved

So we have to wait
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] joecandle:
I have L24 US version of Honor 7X. It was stuck at firmware B101. Always said "No update". Customer support could not help. I had a ATT Mexico SIM in it. As soon as I changed the SIM to T-Mobile US, it found updates B130 and B140. So update depends on SIM.

I also bought another Honor 7X that had already B130 and put in Movistar Mexico SIM and it found right away update B140. So it may be that only B101 needs a US Sim to update.

I hope this helps other people who are still stuck at original firmware B101.

[General Questions and Answers] paulckruger:
Good day all.

I'm looking for a better phone. First the circumstances.

My provider is Consumer Cellular and the network is T-Mobil because WiFi calling is a must where I live. ( poor service )

I am using a Samsung J7 which works fine but I miss my AMOLED screen and the pen of my former Note 3. While I can do everything on the Note 3 with the Tmo SIM it will not provide WiFi calling due to limitations in the contract between CC and ATT. AT&T will only support iPhones through resellers and I don't want one of those. Having been an ATT phone in its original life there was no WiFi calling function available at all.

I tried a Blackberry Priv the other day. I really liked the construction, features and feel of the phone and display was great. However! Could never get WiFi calling to activate making it a No Go. Had to return that phone.

I would not mind going to a Note 4, 5 or perhaps S5 or 6. But when searching there are so many variations I don't know how to tell I will get one that will work with WiFi on Tmo. I do know that if I see any hint of AT&T it will be a no-go. Full of bloat ware and non-functional for WiFi calling.

Many ads proclaim "unlocked" or "factory unlocked" but is there way to know if a specific model number has been a carrier phone or is truly unbranded and likely to have all the functions available based on the SIM/Carrier?

Thanks much.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustyourhelp:
hey guys,

I downloaded the PIT file and it got failed again.. I tried to install this twrp thing and still not good.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Have you tried different cables, are you using a USB port on the motherboard?.

The drivers work because it sees the phone in odin.

Are you loading the stock firmware AND the pit file at the same time?.

If you can answer yes to all of those then it's a bin job.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
I don't recommend trying to flash a pit and TWRP at the same time. I only recommend using a pit file, when necessary, with stock firmware.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustyourhelp:
Yes, tried a different cable.

Yes, I used a USB port on the motherboard

Yes it's a stock, and tried separately and didn't work.

Damn :(

I tried to use only the pit but all i get is that error. It didn't matter if I used a TWRP / stock firmware.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Don't flash using only the pit file.

Flash twrp or stock ROM without pit.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
If flashing the stock firmware on its own fails or it says about a pit partition in odin then load both the pit file and the stock firmware at the same time. If it fails to flash them you can safely assume the phone has a corrupt nand and is dead.

You can also try flashing older versions of the recovery, twrp or cwmr. The last official cwmr was the most stable for me and helped me recover from a f*ked twrp that caused the e:failed to mount errors.

If it can take a flash of any type it might be recoverable. Just because it fails a flash doesn't mean its dead dead, just borked beyond the usual capability of the average Joe bloggs..

I would recommend, just for the fact it can't get any worse than what it already is, find the stock firmware in separate files along with the last official cwmr and flash them one by one and when you get the fail errors you'll know exactly what part of the nand is faulty. Basically just mess with it until you kill it. If it jumps into life in the meanwhile then you got lucky and should put a ticket on the lottery!.

Hope this helps inspire a bit of confidence!.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustyourhelp:
I tried it, didn't manage to succeed.

Hahaha thanks mate, I guess I'll just give up and deliver this phone the place it belongs - hell!

Thanks for the help tho, It will be easier to win the lottery as you wrote (:

I have same issue. I think it has something to do with the notifications messing things up
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] _Creo_:
i have the same issue as well, it only seems to happen to me if i unlock the phone with fingerprint and i have a notification present, i get the same cut off screen and the notification doesn't show... if i turn off the screen and unlock it again it works fine. pattern unlock doesn't seem to do this. the only difference i can think of is pattern goes through the lock screen and then to the home screen whereas fingerprint bypasses the lockscreen. Other people are having this issue as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] _Creo_:
I think i figured out what was causing it. Last night when this happened again i unlocked the phone to turn on my flashlight and when I turned it on it fixed itself without having to turn off the screen...i since then moved the flashlight toggle further down and not on the first row and it hasnt happened yet...give it a try as this is probably the bug and why only a few people are facing it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] _Creo_:
Mevermind, it wasnt the flashlight toggle, however turning it on/off fixes it as it causes an additional notification to popup.

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] SpoonlessCorey:
First off: this post is purely about the practicality of getting around in the emoji section of of the keyboard app. Please do not use this thread as a soapbox to vent or gush about the social aspect of including skin color and gender in the emoji characterset.

I recently updated my Nexus 5x to Lineage 15.1. When I go into the emoji section of the stock default keyboard it lists each individual emoji in 5 different skin colors, each gender, and each combination of genders and skin colors for emojis with groups of people. It used to take seconds to find the emoji I wanted. Now it routinely takes over a minute just to scroll though and find the one I want. Most of the time I just give up before I find the one I'm looking for.

My question is: is there a way to go back to the old 14.x characterset. Or select one skin color to show? Would a different keyboard with a better emoji entry system be the best solution? Would a different emojis font help with this? How are people dealing with this?

I like running my phone pretty stock. I've never installed any other keyboad. And would like to retain the cleaness of the stock keyboard if I can.

Hello,I have one Elf,and I have upgraded my ROM,now,I can´t sincronyze the calendary.

I have reinstalled the last ROM,the active sync,and done a hard reset,and it is all sincronized excep the calendary.

How can I solve it?

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steve Sharp:
1st, make sure activesync is set up correctly. When your device is connected and synchronizing, do you see calendar listed on the activesync screen? If not, once it is finished synchronizing, click tools, options on the activesync menu and make sure there is a checkmark next to calendar. If this doesn't work, post a reply and we can try some other things.:)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steve Sharp:
Very Strange.

1. Did Contacts Sync ok with both computers you tried it on? To make sure, create a new contact on PPC called Test with a bogus phone number and see if it shows up on desktop.

2. Are you using the built in Calendar Application on the Pocket PC or have you installed a 3rd party program like pocket Informant, etc.

3. Make sure you are syncing with the correct profile on the computer. Go to Start Menu, Control Panel, Mail, and click on Profiles. See how many are listed. If only one, you should be ok, if multiple, make sure correct one is selected.

Reply back with results.
