SIM lock is independent of the firmware. T-Mobike will mot be able to unlock a device that wasn't sold. Y them. If you go into Settings, About Phone, Software Information. What is listed under Service Provider SW ver?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
You are correct on the SIM locking by Verizon. The 2018 iPhone and Pixel 3 models were the first ones to ship from Verizon with a SIM lock active, although it unlocks within 24 hours as long as a VZW SIM stays in it until that time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikechu1133:
I don't see a Service provider under that location. Oh well, i can live without unlock at least for now
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
Darn phone auto complete! It's Service Provider SW Ver. It should show trhee triple letter ID's separated by a backslash. Mine, for example, shows TMB/TMB/XAC currently. The last one of that, XAC, is the Canadian W model sold in Canada. If you bought it from Verizon, it will have VZW, Sprint should be SPR, T-Mobile should be TMB, and so on. XAA is the US factory unlocked model sold by Samsung. The first two will change based on the firmware installed along with the SIM installed. The last one will not change regardless.

OK - I am going crazy here. For the past 3 hours I have been trying to get the ATT firmware on my unlocked SM-N960U1 and still nothing...

Here is what I have and what I have done:

- Downloaded the ATT Firmware from Sammobile (N960U1UES1ARH6_N960U1OYM1ARH6_ATT)

- Extracted the firmware files (AP, BL, CP, CSC_OMC_OYM, and HOME_CSC...)

- Factory reset te pnone (ATT SIM card in the phone)

- Setup like new phone

- Enabled Developer mode and USB debug

- Launched Odin3 v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD

- Pointed to the AP, BL, CP, CSC_OMC_OYM files

- Started the phone in Download mode

- Connected the phone to the computer

- Started the Odin process

- Phone restarts after the flash and I unplug it from the PC

Still no ATT branding, no wifi calling, HD etc...

What am I missing? Do I have the wrong ATT Firmware or am I missing a step somewhere?

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Because what you downloaded is just U1/unlocked firmware. For some reason that website insists on listing U1 firmwares for every carrier, despite the fact that there is only one U1 firmware.

What you need to find is ATT U firmware, which you likely won't on that site. Somewhere on here, there's an ARI5 Odin floating around.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ratimux:
Do you know the full name of the firmware and where to get it from?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
No just dig around on here. You'll find it with minimal effort. The revision is ARI5.

T-Mobile network speeds are usually decent for me regardless of where I am. In Blacksburg, Virginia though, the band 71 roll out is a big boost to local area and Virginia Tech students. It's good enough to replace 100Mbit home internet if you tether.

I'm currently running the latest U1 firmware N960U1UEU1ARJ5 right now on an originally Tmo Note 9. Would it be safe for me to down grade back to N960U1UEU1ARH2 using Odin? Something something bootloader version brick....

And likewise would I get bricked for going from the latest Tmo N960USQS1ARH6 back down to N960USQU1ARH2? I noticed the earliest firmwares had ...U1AR... in the firmware but the newer ones have ...S1AR... instead.

Asking because on the newest U1 firmware, I barely get HSPA while if I quickly swap my Tmo sim into my OP 5T, it locks onto LTE immediately.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
You can't flash any firmware that has a previous bootloader version than your device currently has. Both of those bootloader versions are the same, v1, so you are fine to flash to the older TMB U firmware. Just make sure you back up your device and don't use the HOME_CSC. You need to use the OYN CSC that will wipe your device to ensure you don't end up with any unwanted issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ratimux:

If I change firmware to unbranded firmware u1. Will I get rid of all the att bloat ware. I'm not using a major carrier and phone is sim unlocked also how will firmware update work
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
If you flash with the CSC that wipes the device, yes! To ensure a wipe when flashing, do not use the HOME_CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cowboychamp1:
How will updates work. My carrier doesn't carry note 9. So who will I get it from
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
U1 updates come from Samsung, but the release is controlled by your carrier. If no carrier is found, you are on the XAA US update list.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
If you flash to the U1, your updates will come directly from Samsung. Most carrier specific updates are offered off network, but AT&T is one of those exceptions where they keep kicking you for not using their trash services.

I have U1 firmware factory unlocked note 9. Yesturday i flash latest tmobile xxx-RJ5 firmware but, i put the home_csc file on odin and my phone boots up perfectly but i dont see any features of tmobile like bootscreen etc. Otherwise when it flash, it dosnt wipe the system and it downgrade to xxx-RH2 firmware, so i start over and over to do ota updates

You need to flash to the U1 first and don't use the HOME_CSC. Once you flash to the U1 non-carrier firmware, you can then flash to the TMB U.

It does not trip Knox. You are essentially flashing the official firmware through ODIN, just flashing a different firmware to the hardware, which for the US and Canada is all the same.

This was moving from Verizon to TMobile U1 with BL, AP, CP and CSC.

I still have phone connected. Is there anything I could do to not brick the phone? Or is it already bricked? Pls help
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
There is no TMB U1 firmware. The firmware labeled TMB U1 here is a firmware that is not an official firmware. Please use the non-carrier XAA U1 firmware with the same or newer bootloader version your device currently has. Did you enable USB Debugging in Developer Options? The patched ODIN b version seems to be the most reliable based on posts I have seen. I haven't had any trouble using the patched or modded ODIN though. Your device shouldn't be bricked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] stevester:
Thanks a lot.

I disconnected the phone and "hold down Volume Down + Power button" to exit download mode.

After that, I went back to download mode and did the steps listed in the forum to install U1 and U. Now the phone works fine :)

Steps for noobs like me. These are from Verizon Note 9 --> U1 --> U

1. Make sure you use the patched odin in this thread

2. For Verizon to SM-N960U1UEU1ARH2_TMB use the following

- BL --> use BL_N960U1UEU1ARH2_CL14091849_QB19200800_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

- CP --> use CP_N960U1UEU1ARH2_CP10333658_CL14091849_QB19200800_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

- AP --> use AP_N960U1UEU1ARH2_CL14091849_QB19200800_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5

- CSC --> use CSC_OMC_OYM_N960U1OYM1ARH2_CL14091849_QB19200800_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

- USERDATA --> <LEAVE EMPTY>

3. For SM-N960U1UEU1ARH2_TMB to SM-N960USQU1ARH2-TMB use the following

- BL --> use BL_N960USQU1ARH2_CL14091849_QB19200668_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

- CP --> use CP_N960USQU1ARH2_CP10332698_CL14091849_QB19200668_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

- AP --> use AP_N960USQU1ARH2_CL14091849_QB19200668_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5

- CSC --> use CSC_OMC_OYN_N960UOYN1ARH2_CL14091849_QB19200668_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

- USERDATA --> USERDATA_TMB_N960USQU1ARH2_CL14091849_QB19200668_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

Newbie question

I just purchased an unlocked ATT galaxy note 9 but I'm on the T-mobile network. How do I add T-Mo software without rooting my phone? Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is my first time buying an semi unlocked phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
The answer is in the post above yours and in the post above that, as well as many other posts through out the thread. Flashing to the U1 and then to a different U or W firmware does not require root.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tommytroxell:
Odin issues

OK I read all through this thread but I'm still having issues. I started off with a Note 9 Unlocked on the stock U1 firmware. I used the patched Odin and tried to flash the TMB U firmware. ODIN said the firmware was flashed and I got the "PASS" logo. However upon boot the firmware was still 100% stock U1. I used samfirm and downloaded the TMB firmware. I flashed it. Upon boot the device shows it on the latest build (U) but there is no T-Mobile app, no boot logo, and it still shows XAA/XAA/XAA. Any idea what is going on here? I can't figure out how to get the firmware flashed so that I have a fully stock TMB U Note 9.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Let me guess. You decided to remove your SIM before loading U firmware? If so, put your SIM in, go back to U1 and then back to U with the SIM still in.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tommytroxell:
SIM was actually left in the entire time, that's what threw me off.

---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 PM ----------

Also when you say U1 do you mean stock XAA U1 or the U1 T-Mobile listed in this thread?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
U1 is U1. There is no such thing as XAA or TMB U1. They only come separately in SamFirm because carriers authorize them for release on their own schedule. They're all bitwise identical.

As for how you got on XAA CSC, I don't know. If the SIM is in good working order and from one of the major carriers in the US, you should have had no trouble. Only way to end up on XAA would be with a foreign SIM, or maybe some ultra small MVNO Samsung isn't aware of (highly unlikely).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tommytroxell:
Yeah, my T-Mobile SIM was in the device the entire time. I am going to flash back to the latest U1 firmware and then try to flash the latest TMB U firmware. Does that all sound right? Any steps I should take? Do I need to flash all at the same time again or leave the USERDATE slot empty and then flash separately? Was going to try that next if it doesn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
USERDATA doesn't matter. I always skip it when flashing U. One bit of advise. Let U1 actually boot up. Common rookie mistake is flashing U1 then immediately flashing U and expecting things to magically work. It needs to fully setup to flip the CSC. Once you're in and you can confirm TMB/TMB/XAA, then flash U.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tommytroxell:
Just flashed the latest version of U1 - ARJ9. I went through all of the setup this time. I think that was my error. I didn't allow it to reset the CSC! :o

I just flashed the lastest TMB and everything is now working!

Hi there ,

Will this method work for the SM-N960W Canadian version of the note 9?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
Absolutely!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
I have a T-Mobile Note 9 converted to the US Unlocked on ARJ9.

If I flash this,from the OP: T-Mobile Unlocked N960U1UEU1ARH2 ,will I be prompted to update until I get to ARJ9,or,is this as far as it goes?

Also,if it indeed updates (patched U1 T-Mobile),& I decide to go to the OneUI 9.0 Beta,will all of the T-Mobile patched items stay intact,or,will it be just like an out-of-box Unlocked Note 9 running Beta 9.0?

FWIW,I was on OneUI Beta & downgraded to 8.1 Using SmartSwitch,but,it took it to Unlocked,not the out-of-the-box T-Mobile firmware. Tried using SmartSwitch to further downgrade again (to T-Mobile) & the firmware restore option is gone,so,it thinks my phone is a SM-N960U1.

Any insight/suggestions are much appreciated,I'm willing to fill in the blanks as needed. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
What are you asking?

Why did you flash ARH2 anyway? That's ancient. Just flash ARJ9 if you want the beta and save yourself a couple hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
ATM,I'm on 8.1 U1 ARJ9.

I guess what I'm asking is what's the difference in the two ARH2(s) in the OP,especially if you're starting out with a stock T-Mobile Note 9 & if using the T-Mobile UI ARH2 keeps whatever it has vs unbranded (unpatched) UI ARH2 when updating. If so,does any of it stick once you update to the One UI Beta ?

My end game was/is to eventually end up on One UI via the beta program.

AFAIK,the d/l from Firmware Science gets you there from ARJ9 (I ran it briefly),but,I've read two different answers to if I will receive an update through official channels when using the Firmware Science update.zip

One member here says yes,the other,no.

I'm enrolled,but,as I've read here & elsewhere,it seems the beta is full,but,as recently as yesterday,I've seen posts where people are reporting the update notice within minutes of enrolling.

I'm not getting the prompt to update,I enrolled using the beta Samsung + Beta app (v 11.2.3.0),so,I'm good there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
If you aren't in the real beta program, you won't get OTA updates. If you are, you will.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
Thanks,I'll just be patient & wait where I'm at.

Stand-by/idle drain seemed to be an improvement,but,overall,I really didn't care for the the look/feel of it,seemed a step backwards to Galaxy S3 days as far as that goes.

Just my preference,I'm sure some like it.

Again,thank you for the info,it's much appreciated.

I have a T-Mobile note 9, and after flashing the xaa unlocked firmware, with a factory reset and flashing the non home CSC, my software info still shows TMB/TMB/TMB.

However there are no signs of T-Mobile branding (no boot splash screen, no preinstalled T-Mobile apps). Is this normal? How do I get it to show XAA/XAA/TMB? Or do I even want that?

My goal is an unbranded device, which I think I have but just confused about software info.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
CSC has nothing to do with unbranded vs. branded. TMB/TMB/TMB is correct for a TMB-purchased device with a TMB SIM card installed. There would literally be zero advantage to XAA/XAA/TMB on a U1 device, and several disadvantages.
