[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Falargi:
I'm a newbie here. I recently switched from Verizon to TMobile and I'm having problems with this device. I want to flash the TMobile firmware. Can someone guide me with directions on how to do this. It will be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
The verification is to prevent devices from being stolen, wiped, and resold.

If it's your device, logging into your Google account will let you setup the device. It will unlock with *any* Google account that has been used on the device previously. So if you can't access your main account but had others linked to the phone as well, try one of those. Otherwise you will need to recover your Gmail account if that's the issue.

If you bought the device from someone, ask them to put in their details to continue through setup. If you bought a device from someone and didn't have them factory reset it ahead of time, I'd chalk this up to "lesson learned the hard way".

Factory Reset Protection is designed to protect from a device being stolen and resold. Sure it's annoying to need to login to setup the device after using Odin or recovery to wipe the device, but over-all its usually a good thing. There's only 3 ways I see it being an issue:

1. You can't get into your Google account.

2. You bought the device from someone and they didn't do a full reset. In this case it's either on you because you didn't have them do it when you met in person, or if you got it online, ask for them to either provide the details to log in or send it back.

3. The device is stole. If this is the case, shame on you.

So really, your solutions are simple. Regain access to your Google acct, get the info from the seller, return it to seller for a refund, or if it's stolen, maybe just return it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Falargi:
So.... No one is available to guide me with this process?. My Verizon s9+ is having a lot of issues with TMobile. I need to flash the TMobile firmware to hopefully use this device with TMobile. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
Factory reset.

Flash to U1 *with* the TMobile sim in.

Factory Reset

Flash U firmware *with* TMobile sim in

Profit.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Falargi:
I'll try tomorrow night. I can't find the thank you button. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Falargi:
Well. I was able to fash u1, reset, flash TMobile firmware but still having the same connectivity issues. When I call this number (the one for s9+), I get a brief silence until it starts ringing, the same when I make calls from this phone. That doesn't happen with the other phones I have on TMobile (also Verizon phones: iPhones, pixels). Any idea of what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Please be more clear about the issues you're having. What you described above sounds like normal operation. A phone call will ordinarily have a short delay of silence before ringing begins. If flashing different firmware isn't resolving the issue, then the device could be defective. But there's no way to know that with this limited diagnostic data.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Falargi:
Ok. I'll try to explain. This phone was being used on Verizon, bought from them. Everything worked well. Switched to TMobile (Verizon device) and people say they call me and I never get the call ( half of the time ), I tried testing myself with the phone on my side, using another phone I make a call to the s9+, it looks like my call doesn't get connected after around 15 seconds ( I think that's not acceptable because I don't have this issue with my other Verizon devices switched also to TMobile ( iPhones, Pixel XL, Pixel 2xl). Using these other phones when I make a call I dial and after 1 out 2 seconds I start hearing the ring.I hope I made myself understood, and I also hope there's a fix for this. I really don't want to have to buy another phone. This is almost new.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
If the testing you've done has assured you this isn't just how T-Mobile works in your area, then you likely have a malfunctioning device. Since the device is still under warranty, you could have it serviced free of charge. No need to buy something else.

I assume you now see a T-Mobile splash screen and under "Service provider SW ver", you now see TMB/TMB/VZW, right? If that's all true and you know for absolute sure that this isn't just T-Mobile, then I would send the device in.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Falargi:
Well. I don't know what I did wrong then. Splash screen is still Verizon and service provider SW ver is VZW/VZW/VZW.

I downloaded the correct files but I guess for some reason it didn't flash. I have baseband version G965USQS3ARG8.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Flash U1. Let the system boot up and set it up minimally. Reboot. Go in and check the CSC. Should read TMB/TMB/VZW. Then flash U.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Falargi:
I forgot to say that during the flashing I didn't have the TMobile Sim card in the phone. Is this a strong requirement for it to work? I apologize for my ignorance. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Why do people remove their SIM cards all the time?!? Yes! Keep the card in. That's how the system knows which CSC to select. Nothing will ever change if you remove it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Falargi:
Big mistake on my side. I will try again tonight and update with results. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Falargi:
Thank you guys for your help. I was able to do it right this time. Everything is looking good.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Glad to hear it worked out.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Juniorgt1:
Im no gettin updates

I did everything perfect but im no getting OTA updates, it say the device is up to date.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
What is your current build and what carrier are you on?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Juniorgt1:
My build base is ARG8, my carrier is metro pcs but i use a tmobile sim when i flased to u1 and u
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Good news. You can easily update. If you go to firmware science, you can find the two update zips required. You'll want ARG8 to ARI6. Then ARI6 to ARIB. Voila. You're current and will receive future OTAs
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Juniorgt1:
ok but if i do this i will fix my OTAs updates? Do you have any link ? And how i install them?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
To tell you the truth, they should be working right now. But ARIB is the current official revision for your carrier right now. Getting up to speed can't hurt.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Juniorgt1:
my phone is from verizon originally and i flashed to u1 and them to u and i did everithing fine becouse i didn't get any error wht you think that i can do to fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
It's all based on the firmware you have loaded. If you see a T-Mobile splash when you boot, you're good to go and that's where your updates come from. I don't know why it isn't bumping you off of ARG8 on its own. But that build is from August. So as s troubleshooting step, I would suggest getting current.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Juniorgt1:
I dnt see the tmobile splash when i boot, i just see samsun logo
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Can you go to About Phone/Software Information and tell me the text in "Service provider SW ver"? In particular I'm looking for the 3 part CSC line.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Juniorgt1:
Tmk/tmk/vzw
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
That does seem right for Metro. It really ought to be working.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Juniorgt1:
Yes but is no i dnt know wht to do :crying:

---------- Post added at 05:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 AM ----------

Yes but is not i dnt know wht to do.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Well for now you can just run these update zips. Long term, I'm not sure of the solution. Here's the problem: If you're seeing Samsung's OTA update screen, it's using this link to determine if you need an update:

http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/TMK/SM-G965U/version.xml

So that's obviously not going to give you anything. You really should be seeing something besides the Samsung logo for a splash. But I don't know what it should look like.

Where did you get your U firmware? Try grabbing a genuine copy from SamFirm. Of course that would mean going back to U1 and then U after that and another data wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Juniorgt1:
I think i found the problem, i didn'thave the tmobile sim in when i flashed to u1
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Make sure you actually boot U1 up, too. It's not magical to simply flash it and then flash something else. It's got to boot to swap CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Juniorgt1:
I flashed today and now i get the update and also the tmobile splash, thank you for the help.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Glad to hear it. Now you'll stay on TMB's update track.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] DannyInMiami:
Am I able to flash this software with Odin to downgrade from the newer G965USQU3BRJ5
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
You can downgrade to any v3 bootloader version. 3ARG8 is one of the few available. As is ARI6, ARIB and probably a few others. I would avoid ARIB personally, it ran terrible for me, but ARI6 was solid for me, as is BRJ5.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sweetboy02125:
Why downgrade since it’s a stable update?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
I'm going to guess because some of the newer Pie builds are coming off of ARIB.

I apologize in a big hurry where can I find ARI6 thanks in advance and i'll be sure to give credit and donate.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
I don't have a link handy. If you Google G965USQU3ARI6 you'll likely find a link on AFH. I have had them since it was released.

Edit: ari6 Odin Files https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904026397

If I don't have a T-Mobile sim, will I still be able to get my U1 unlocked flashed to full T-Mobile?

I keep reading that you need to have your carrier sim inserted to get the proper conversion during the firmware flash.

Sm-965u1

I'm sorry I'm new to here but I know I'm probably not in the right area. I am trying to find out what can be done.

I purchased a Samsung s9+ 3rd party. Went to activate it and couldn't because the original owner left a balance.

Someone told me about changing IMEI # but how can that be done if phone CAN NOT be rooted.

Actually called a company and they said they can do it but phone would show as a Samsung galaxy s5.

How is it possible, am I throwing my money out the door and these people are lying?

I have trouble with miniUSB on Atom, we can use miniSD in order to update firmware for Atom??
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] hendranata:
miniSD??

can use BT?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] 2234jones:
With the usb have you tried wiggling the cable, or even changing the cable. you can't flah by bluetooth as the drivers are installed when the flash takes place, i would not advise flashing by the sd card as it is very delicate and more cases than none, fail. Try jtag look in wiki and it shows a very simple and cheap jtag :o

if ur miniusb trouble u can not charge. hehe.. how to refil ur batt?

yes, you can upgrade ROM via miniSD flashing. I won't recommend it if you don't know how. use the search function mate, you'll find something bout flashing via minisd. I just forgot if it's posted in the wiki aswell but you can check

I'm running european stock A520F firmware (Nougat 7.0) on my A520W. I now have the FM Radio working on my phone!

[Galaxy Tab S2 General] filjusz:
This is a common problem, not only with your device

That's probably because the Tab S2 screen does not have enough horizontal pixels. What we normally call 1440p or QHD is 2560 × 1440 pixel resolution, but the S2 screen is only 2048×1536.

And thats about it. I cant really understant how to root my phone(. Its too compliated), and Im wondering if android pie is avaiable for this device. Thank you for your time.
[Huawei P Smart Questions & Answers] mwarner:
The simple answer is No, Android P is not available for the Huawei P Smart and may never be, officially.

The complicated answer is that if you have an unlocked bootloader (which you would have had to do before Huawei restricted this practice) then it will be feasible in the future to flash a third party ROM which is based on Android P.
[Huawei P Smart Questions & Answers] steven360:
Android P is available unofficially. Just search for it on XDA, there are ones in the P8 Lite 2017 forum that will work on this device because we're all part of the hi6250 chipset family. There is also one for the Honor View 10 that works really well once you remove the assert lines from the updater-script file.

[Huawei P Smart Questions & Answers] steven360:
That's a case of a bad twrp. Use the p10 lite's or the honor 7x's, they will work because we're (again) all part of the hi6250 family :D

[Android General] frei6:
[QRCODE][/QRCODE]I observe a great deal of activity in XDA. But if you were to add up all the man-hours of labor that goes into reading about Android hacks, creating Android hacks, and so on, it would surely be a huge number.

Meanwhile, the parts to build your own mobile phone exist, are cheap, and can be combined to liberate you from big corporations' products.

Do you actually need Android? Do you really use the Android apps? I ask this question because I don't use mainstream apps myself-- no uber, no pinterest, no facebook-- these apps all feel like either a scam or a waste of time.

Meanwhile, a working phone can be made from a Raspberry pi, a PiTFT display, a Lipo battery, and an Adafruit FONA GSM module which has a Lipo charger.

Yet everyone seems content to pursue the Android phone option. Why?

It seems like servility and subservience.
