W firmware will be optimized for Canadian carriers, and doesn't have any - or very little - bloat. U1 firmware would theoretically work fine too.

It has to be an issue with the SIM/plan/service. It's the only possible explanation for why roaming wouldn't work. If you're on Verizon firmware, there's literally no difference between your phone, and one that was purchased directly from them.

I'm assuming you have all the needed roaming settings checked/enabled?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jiff123:
Yeah I thought a verizon flashed sprint s10 was indistinguishable as well. From all my research I've never even seen a glimpse of anything that said otherwise.

But the international rep confidently said they knew I did not buy my s10 from verizon since the model shows in their system as unrecognized. So there has to be some difference I guess...

Yeah i checked everything for roaming.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jiff123:
I tried calling back during the day. You were right it was a plan/provisioning issue. He said since the model was not from verizon (they can tell by the imei), it did not provision automarically for international use.

But it was a very easy 1 minute fix for him (I guess just the person from last night did not know)
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Yes, they can tell the difference via the IMEI - they know it's not one of their own models. It's stupid though really because the hardware and software is 100% identical otherwise. Glad they fixed it for you though!

No new firmware for G973U1 model from March to August.

Samsung said that S10 will be on monthly updates, I guess their "month" is different? Heck, even my S7 Edge got an update meantime...

The new firmware got released yesterday for my carrier (8/18):

https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s10/firmware/SM-G973U1/TFN/download/G973U1UEU2ASGB/285219/

Others got released on 8/06... still late.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] SoNic67:
I have typed that by coincidence a few hours before my update notification came.

My point is that we are past the middle of August and we barely have one update since March. Samsung promised that will be monthly security updates.

You're trying to downgrade the bootloader. I would really recommend reading a few "beginner's guide to Odin flashing" type threads/posts - there are tons here on XDA. Identifying the bootloader version of a given firmware (to ensure that you're not trying to downgrade) is flashing 101
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bernie056:
Did you use samfirm or frija
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aspiller98:
I went ahead and successfully flashed the U1 USA TMK firmware to my s10. However, when flashing from U1 to vzw firmware Odin succeeds and then my phone reboots to T-Mobile firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] tyrone1:
I think you want the xaa u1 firmware not tmk. Then go to vzw.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aspiller98:
OK, I'll give that one a shot.

---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 PM ----------

Tried the XAA, same results. I can get to the U1 firmware but when I flash VZW and reboot, T-Mobile firmware is back on. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bernie056:
Does the u1 firmware come with any bloatware???
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
You're not following the carrier conversion instructions that are mentioned in the OP
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aspiller98:
I followed his directions, but couldn't use the firmware provided in the post bc it's too old and Odin won't accept it. Therefore I downloaded the firmware from sammobile.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrEigo:
I used Frija
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
SamMobile is about the slowest source that you can possibly use, unless you're paying for a premium subscription. Other much faster download sources have been extensively discussed in this thread

Did you download the U1 firmware or the U of Tmobile from Sammobile

Please forgive my ignorance

Trying to figure this out

Are you on u1?

And getting the August update over the air?

I'm switching from project fi to metro pcs

It should work too right? ?

Will play with it tonight or tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bernie056:
I don't know about that though I switched from AT&T to U1 and am free of any carrier bloatware. Got the update as soon as I was done flashing I flashed with a July security patch update
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] frewys:
My phone is att too

Sounds promising

Did you have a Sim in when you flashed?

What carrier are you using?

I presume you used the only down loadable one in OP and it Ota you to August after flash?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bernie056:
No. I inserted the SIM after flashing.

And yes the only downloadable OP at the time was the July update.

Happy flashing mate!!! But the August OP is live on SamFirm and Frija so you can check that up and even on SamMobile too
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] frewys:
I have to check those sights out

Haven't been on Samsung since s8 and was on a t-mobile on t-mobile

Thanks for the input
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bernie056:
Ohk. Then u can check SamMobile then.... the download is relatively slow as compared to samfirm and frija
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Marianukivaldez:
I switched G973U to G973U1.

I have Sprint (SPR), in my case the updates arrives too late.

First:

I downloaded the same versión of my phone(In my case SPR) from Sammobile with SamFirm.

Downloaded odin(patched): https://www.**********.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Odin3_v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD.zip

Turn to download mode and started flashing.

Put BL in BL, AP in AP, etc. Press Start.

Worked for me and i hope that i had would help you!.

Happy Flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] frewys:

I presume I do need the patched odin to make the flash work and ignore the SHA256 hash check?

Downloaded it from here:

Ok, I finally got the verizon firmware successfully flashed on my T-Mobile G973U. My next question is will I get normal OTA updates from verizon? My service provider sw ver is VZW/VZW/TMB

I was just concerned that the TMB would interfere with verizon OTA updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I'm not sure what the determining factor is, for whose updates you get. But if you have full Verizon bloat, I would assume that you'd get their updates. The final service provider code never changes, IIRC. It will always reflect where the phone originally came from, no matter which firmware is flashed to it

I have G973U with ATT firmware at G973USQU2ASF6 and trying to change carrier from ATTto TMB. When I'm trying to flash to U1 (as a first step in carrier changing), getting abl.elf FAIL! (Auth) in Odin. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] misiek1001:
I spent last couple days reading, searching, loading and still missed it. Thanks for your explanation, however I'm not able to find correct U1 firmware for the version I have, so I was trying to use the one from this site. Is it possible to point me to the correct U1 which would work on G973USQU2ASF6? Thanks,
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
As has been mentioned and discussed several times in the thread, SamFirm is the best thing to use for firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] misiek1001:
Yes, I downloaded the U1 firmware from SamFirm (G973FXXU1ASD5) and it is the one which is not working for me. Before I start reading on how to do it, is it possible to downgrade firmware on G19 from G973USQU2ASF6? Thanks,
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Hoo boy.

1. G973F is an international model - not the US model

2. Assuming that you meant G973U, it's impossible for you to have gotten that version from SamFirm. SamFirm will only give you whatever the newest version is, and SD5 is an old version.

3. I don't know what a G19 is
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] misiek1001:
Apologies for my typo and incorrect copy/paste. I meant G973U and instead of G19 I wanted to say G10 for Galaxy S10 which I have.

Can someone please provide correct link to the latest U1 firmware I can use to flash my Galaxy S10 with current firmware at G973USQU2ASF6 and ATT?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Just. Use. SamFirm.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] misiek1001:
Thank you for making me rethink and looked at this again. I was so close all the time and, in the end, it was my own mistake (I was simply using wrong file). When downloaded correct one, I flashed to U1 without any issues, which got rid of ATT stuff, then from U1 I flashed again to U TMB firmware. All is working great. :good:

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Flashing firmware will never SIM unlock a phone - not an S8, not an S9, not an S10+, and not an S11. SIM unlocking goes much deeper than just the firmware. I can give you a recommendation for a professional unlocking service if you need one

New link for latest U1 XAA

Thanks a lot for the great work.

I have read almost all the post in this thread and believe that have understood what needs to be followed for moving to the unlocked U1 XAA. A couple of days back I was able to download U1 XAA firmware. The AP file name is as follows. "AP_G973U1UEU2BSGL_CL16507756_QB25442378_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta_OS9.tar"

But when I flashed it through Odin I got failed"SHA256 error". I read couple of posts and got to know that I need to use a patched Odin "Odin3_v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD ". But then with patched Odin, I got the "Complete Write fail error". Based on couple of replies I got to know that the version that I got from Samfirm might have old bootloader as compare to what I currently have on my unlocked ATT S10 (current Bootloader on my S10 "G973USQS1ASD9").

From yesterday I am trying to search for U1 XAA firmware on Samfirm and Fijra but getting nothing, it "not able to find any firmware".

Can someone please point out what I am doing wrong. Thanks a lot for all your help.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
1. If you have the correct Odin, then any other flashing error is a USB issue. Use a different cable, different port, or restart your computer.

2. If neither SamFirm or Frija are returning any results, then either you're not typing the correct thing, or your firewall is blocking the program
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] wwwxxx1982:
Use this firmware U1 August 2019, the link will be valid only 7 days. Before flashing, restart your S10 and use patched Odin3 v3.13.1_3B https://dropmefiles.com/IPU0v
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] chetan.goswami:

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
U1 firmware will remove all of the T-Mobile software. But it will NOT sim unlock the device. The device still will not work with any other networks, just because you flash U1 firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] C-4Nati:
Where can we get the unlocked firmware? I bought the phone unlocked from Samsung, but ended up flashing the T-Mobile firmware so I can get updates faster, but I wan't to go back to unlocked firmware and didn't see it in your links in your OP.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vroemvroem21:
Ok, that's fine. I just wanted some directions. No need to present me the solution, if there is one, on a plate. Maybe I'm not sure how to look for it. That's all. If there is anyone else that can give us some directions, thanks !
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
You asked for the "exact location". So yes, that IS giving you the solution on a plate. You're not going to find many users on XDA willing to do the work themselves of finding the information for you, when you're not willing to read the thread yourself, or use the Search function. Especially when the information that you're looking for is right in the OP and on the very first page
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] C-4Nati:
Sorry OP, I've been on XDA for a very long time, however I haven't really been active in the flashing scene and things of that nature for years now, so I've lost a lot of my knowledge about such. I was having trouble finding the unlocked firmware, but I did find the MetroPCS firmware because that's who my carrier is, and when I tried the flashing in the custom version of Odin, it said failed immediately. I remember in the past flashing things in odon I didn't literally check every single box with the corresponding files, and I'm not saying that's wrong because obviously you and other folks are having success with it, but it fails for me every time. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vroemvroem21:
Hey indeed, you are right :) Altough I can't seem to download the .zip file here in Europe :( Keeps saying network error... Did the file time-out'ed? The mirror isn't working either...
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
We need more info in order to know why it's failing. We need to know the Build Number of what's currently on your device, the Build Number of what you're trying to flash, the Odin version that you're using, and exactly what it shows in Odin and on the phone screen when it fails

AFH has problems a lot of the time - I can't do anything about that. The only thing I can suggest is to try a different download mirror

This thread isn't a "How to use Odin" thread. So I would recommend reading as much as you can about Odin and the basics of flashing firmware

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
You said "I don't know how to get the right one to flash". That, to me, means "I don't know how to Odin flash".

Hi [MENTION=3163377]iBowToAndroid[/MENTION].

I live in Spain and also bought an SM-G9730 which is also Qualcomm 855 processor.

Do you know maybe if it's possible to change original firmware from Taiwan to another?

I would like to have something fully compatible with Spain but here the S10 is Exynos version so I think it's difficult but maybe another Qualcomm version like USA or Canada (Multi CSC) could work.
