Ok found it i will try myself when i get the phone in but i know for some devices you get that auth error but rebooting back into download mode and flashing agian causes the phone to flash all the way becuase the check for that boot loader is flashed before the boot loader is flashed i dont know about the new model but i will give a try. Also have you tried to decompile the firmware and use Verizon bootloader with the sprint firmware might be something to test.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I can guarantee you, it's not going to work. If you'd like to waste time on it, that's your call
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jwarrior319:
Make sure to power off first. Don't use the "Restart" or "reboot to bootloader" options. From android choose "Power Off" and let the device completely power down. Then do the 3 button combo to boot into Download mode. In the past choosing restart and the using the button combo would cause it to hang when flashing resulting in having to flash twice.

[MENTION=3163377]iBowToAndroid[/MENTION]- question for you. I just traded in my s10 plus for the unlocked Note10 plus. I would need the att firmware so if I wanted to change it to att it would be the same process as in the OP right? Currently no one in the Note10 plus thread is doing this but many have bad reception. Any advise would greatly be appreciated thank you

Stats after flashing ASGK build. https://ibb.co/9bNR3Mp

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

Wow it seems that unlocked devices have reception issues no matter what carrier you're on. I remember buying the S9 plus unlocked last year and had issues with signal and reception getting 2-3 bars and once flashing carrier firmware that fixed the problem. I have the S10+ now same thing, once flashing carrier firmware fixes the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
My reception is fine on unlocked firmware for the S10+ and on unlocked phones in general. Anyone relying on the signal bars to measure reception should consider downloading a signal testing app from the Play Store. The AT&T firmware is modded to show more bars than Samsung's stock firmware does for the same signal strength and it's likely other carriers do the same thing because they have a commercial interest in making customers think they're getting great service.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
The process for converting from one carrier's firmware to another is given in the OP of most of my threads, including this one and also my N10+ thread.

No one should ever rely on signal bars as an accurate indicator. Always go by dBm in Settings

You need to already have been using your SIM on U1 before you do the flash, and preferably flash with the SIM still in. Follow the procedure that i gave earlier in the thread and it should work fine

Hello my man how are you i have a Verizon S10+ i have been on the phone with them all day the phone is locked under verizon it says cannot use another carrier i never thought and knew that verizon locked their phones i called Verizon they told me they did not and samsung is telling me otherwise i have a U version i would love to flash a U1 version so i downloaded the firmware from this thread but always fails with odin i'm guessing is it because the bootloader is locked and how did you succeed with yours please any help is appreciated i have been searching all XDA and Google and no results

I have a U version i would love to flash a U1 version so i downloaded the firmware from this thread but always fails with odin i'm guessing is it because the bootloader is locked and how did you succeed with yours please any help is appreciated what steps did you take brother i am using the latest version of Odin and this CSC

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
A locked bootloader doesn't prevent you from flashing anything in Odin. Odin flashing is really a very simple process. If it's failing, we're going to need more details than that

On a newly purchased phone from Verizon it will be carrier locked for approx 24 hours from purchase. They are unlocked, but I had the same issue, waited about 26 hours from purchase and put in my AT&T SIM with no problem.

It's important to note, the phone needs to be activated and running on the Verizon network for this 24 hours to receive the unlock signal.

odd issue VZW to ATT firmware

Starting with VZW version phone.

Wiped, Installed U1 firmware, boots fine (but no mention of Carrier Settings with ATT SIM installed) - reboot, wipe, install U firmware with ATT Userdata, reboot.

Boots up with VZW image.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Just try it again. Make sure you're using non HOME CSC both times. When it boots with U1, have to make sure you get the "reboot to apply new carrier settings" popup and do the restart - that's the key
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] vcdx:
No matter how many times I did it - nothing.

Interestingly enough, I had U1 download the ASBA patch, upon reboot it asked me to reboot to apply carrier settings.

Wiped/Installed U+ATT, works like a charm now.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
We see it all the time at my company - clients asking us to convert firmware because they're not getting the popup and so their unlocked phone doesn't work right when they go to switch carriers. In U firmware, I've only noticed it reliably giving the popup on builds later than RJx - anything earlier, and it usually wouldn't show. But for U1 firmware, it almost always pops up on any build. Still, we have seen random one-off scenarios where the phone won't do it for some reason. Wipe and/or reflash and/or update usually fixes it and will prompt the popup. Maybe Samsung's still working on that particular feature.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MudMan551:
Thanks, iBowToAndroid. I was trying to save some time just flashing the new unlocked S10+ before I ever booted, which cost me, unfortunately, cost me many hours of frustration. Once I flashed back to the original firmware and initialized the unlocked phone with the SIM, the reflashing to Verizon worked perfectly. I was able to flash two S10+ smartphones successfully. I did discover one issue upon trying to flash back the original unlocked firmware, I was receiving a ha256 invalid error. After a Google search, I found a patched Odin Ver. 3.13.1_3B_Patched that corrected the error.

Thanks,

Don

Verizon locks their phones for 24-48 hours after activation. It's a thing that started around January I believe.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Blacklisted957:
You are right

You are right after 24hrs the phone just unlocked how to flash U1 on the device is it as simple as booting to download mode and with odin flash the U1 firmware to switch from U to U1?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sd_N:
Yes. That's how I did mine. Make sure to factory reset in recovery...boot to bootloader(download mode) then flash U1 firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] miketunes:
Is this the correct procedure to flash my verizon model with the unlocked firmware?

1. Boot in recover and erase/wipe

2. boot into download mode and open odin 3.13.1_3B_Patched

3. Select BL, AP, CP, and non-home CSC file - send

4. watch for the popup that says "your device will restart to apply new carrier settings", and do it. Make sure your desired SIM is inserted for this step.

I'm stuck at step 3, the progress moves about 5%, stays for about 10 minutes, then odin says write failure. Phone is now stuck in download mode. I'm worried I bricked it.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tneot01:
These steps worked to flash my TMB model with the U1 firmware. I used Odin 3.13.3B patched and the regular CSC file. FYI I had not even set up my phone with the TMB firmware, when I got it I immediately flashed it. I extracted the files, put them in Odin BEFORE connecting the phone, connected it, and then flashed. All went well, thank you!

I’m picking up a Unlocked S10+ from Best Buy. I want to flash the VZW firmware so I can use all the VZW features. Can someone point me in the right direction to download the G975U VZW userdata version firmware. Would be greatly appreciated ??.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] datrico89:
Hello everybody!

I have some questions I hope someone can help me

I have a non contract service provider (simple mobile) that is over tmobile network

Can I flash only CSC_OMC_OYM_G975U1 in my g975U1 unlocked (with SBA OTA already installed ) with my sim from simple mobile inserted to see if my current active CSC: XAG changes to TMB and features missing like Volte work ? and keep features like free hostpot?

I know U1 firmware has multiple CSC available TMB among them, I checked in Phone Info app and my current firmware U1 says:

Firmware's CSC Code: XAA

Active CSC Code: XAG

Available CSC Code: TMB among others.

facts wifi calling already work in my U1 with XAG CSC

the other thing is if that doesn't work.

Iam pretending to flash U tmobile firmware to obtain Volte that is the only thing missing

but I have a another question:

where in odin do I suppose to load USERDATA_TMB when flashing?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] datrico89:
I reflased the U1 firmware with the sim on and the features were activated but when I OTA updated then I lost the features again and Ims said not registered. I fixed that with a factory reset. Now I have U1 firmware and wifi calling and VoLte.

Postdata:

I think I always had it on in the unlocked firmware U1 my confusion was that there is no icon of Volte, I just checked that I have it on because I make a call and the LTE signal doesn't drop to 3g or H+ and wifi calling
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Subham85:

So I'm new to this but can someone explain to me what I would need to get. I have already flashed firmware to my N10+.

My wifes S10+ firmware has the following: G975U1UEU2ASGB.

What files will I be needing? I'm trying to find SGB but can't seem to come across from what [MENTION=3163377]iBowToAndroid[/MENTION] posted as the files
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Well, what are you trying to flash, exactly?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] eXtreMe579:
I'm trying to flash the t-mobile firmware. See that there are different folders for the U firmware.

SAT - 1 - 9.0

SBA
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
As I've explained in the thread, I don't upload every single version for every single carrier. I only upload something if I get early access to it, before SamFirm and Frija get it.

So you can get T-Mobile's latest firmware via either of those tools.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] XtreMe579:
So no matter what I need to find the firmware that contains SGB for the Unlocked variant and tmobile correct?

Sorry don't want to mess this up and possibly brick the phone :(
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
It's impossible to brick it.

And no, you said that you want the T-Mobile firmware, not unlocked firmware. So therefore you need U firmware, not U1
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] XtreMe579:
I get you. So I can flash SAT or will something happen since the phone has later version of SGB?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
No, you can't flash SAT.

Since you seem to be new to this, 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. Firmware flashing is not something that you want to just dive into without understanding how it all works.

Hi guys, I bought an at&t version s10+ and have verizon service. It looks like I'm on BL v2 so it looks like I may have to deal for a while until u1 v2 comes out. I am having multiple signal drops so I'm wondering if and when u1 v2 comes and I flash would that help my phone connect better with verizon or do I have one of the junk s10+? Thanks for all you guys do!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
The AT&T firmware doesn't play nice with service from other carriers. Your phone should be fine after you ditch the firmware but the vendors selling those unlocked AT&T phones (I got mine on Ebay a couple months after the S10+ launch) should really warn their customers--I'm sure some people return the phones thinking they're defective.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I really hate AT&T's approach to firmware and updates. They never allow firmware files to be available publicly (and that goes for other OEMs too - not just Samsung) and they absolutely refuse to allow the phone to update unless an active AT&T SIM is inserted. Even a SIM from one of their own MVNOs won't work. There's just no good reason to put limitations like that in place. Just makes it harder for users to get new features and security patches for vulnerabilities
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] blindedcoon:
Thanks, I am ok with u1 firmware really. I just need my phone to work better lol. I thought maybe this phone is a defective one also. I'll flash it in the morning and let you all know how it went. Is it ok to download the u1 firmware from the OP? I'm guessing it's the new v2 bl?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I only post versions that I get early, before they're available via SamFirm and Frija. The notes in the OP tell you how to identify the build and bootloader versions of my folders
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] blindedcoon:
Ok thank you. Thanks for all your help
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] blindedcoon:
Just wanted to say thanks to all on here. I flashed u1 on my s10+ and all is good. To anyone having issues the same as I was the flash seems to have fixed them.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] webwolf89:
I can confirm. I've updated my S10+ while it was on AT&T U version, just loaded the files and chose HOME_CSC. Worked fine. However, now I remember I had an error at the and saying that a partition cannot be resized when it finished. But didn't show any issues after that. I rebooted, it started normally updated. I don't recall which partition it was. Later converted to U1 without issues.

(HOME_CSC was the one not doing factory reset, right?)

I hope I'm in the correct thread to ask this question so please don't flame me. I have a Galaxy S10+ (SM-G975U) purchased directly from Samsung with an AT&T SIM card. I had AT&T send me the unlock code and my phone was unlocked so that I can move to T-mobile and a T-mobile SIM card is installed with T-mobile working fine. My problem is that I'm on the T-mobile network but I still have all of the AT&T bloatware including the jingle and blue/white rotating globe on startup. I'd like to get a clean install of the T-mobile ROM and remove all vestiges of AT&T. Is this possible? If so, can someone send me a link with instructions with the procedure please? I need something a little more basic: for example something that explains what "wipe in recovery" means. T-mobile phone customer service and local store personnel say they understand my problem but that they can't help me. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
"wipe in recovery" means to perform a factory data reset in Recovery mode

Not sure who all is on build BSGJ but there is a update zip available going from that build to BSI4 with September security patch. It's a leak so it hasn't officially gone OTA just yet....
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] equake:
It depends on which device and which SIM card is inserted in unlocked devices. August Security updates came out to non TMO devices and non TMO unlocked earlier.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
Hopefully you were successful. If you have a T-Mobile SIM in a phone with AT&T firmware you probably won't receive OTA updates.

Personally I would flash the U1 (carrier free) firmware and keep that rather than flashing the T-Mobile firmware. T-Mobile puts all of its carrier specific apps in the Play Store so you can download whichever ones you plan to use and not get stuck with the rest.

What would you choose, S10+ / Note 10+ / Pixel 4 or Asus Rog Phone II ?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
Depends on what you want really. They all target fairly different areas.

I'm happy with my s10+, it has the best all around combo of features for me.

I would put it and the note 10+ on about the same playing field.

Pixel 4 would be if you wanted a more stock Android experience, great camera and constant updates. Also the ability to root.

Rog phone would be for great battery life and speedy performance, the camera is terrible though.

For me personally I like Samsung for the mixture of performance, battery life and camera quality.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
It's possible the Pixel 4 will be an improvement over Pixel models 1-3 but the first 3 generations of Pixel phones were all plagued with serious software and hardware problems that you probably read nothing about if you get your information from XDA and Android Police.

Pixel models 1-3 also were flagship phones in name only, had abysmal build quality for their high price point and were steeply discounted (30%-50% off) as little as 60 days after launch.

I wouldn't take a chance on a Pixel--especially at launch since prices dropped dramatically for all of the previous models.
