Android File Host doesn't list any mirrors for the G970U1 firmware. Anyone know where I can get it? I bought a refurbished phone on Amazon and they send me a carrier unlocked Verizon phone. It was supposed to be Factory Unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
That's already been stated in the OP, and mentioned many, many times in the thread. And you probably wouldn't be able to flash what's in the OP anyways, because the one you bought probably has bootloader 2
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
sorry if noobish, but is thrre a bootloader 2 odin. i also have an att one i want to convert but is on bootloader 2 android 9.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
There is no such thing as a "bootloader 2 Odin". You use the same version of Odin for flashing, no matter what the firmware version is.

If you're referring to bootloader 2 firmware, then where to get it is stated in the OP and several times throughout the thread
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
I mistyped that. I wad referring to boot loader 2 firmware. I ended up finding the latest bootloader 3 and loaded that up.

So.... I would love to say I decided to be brave, but I'd probably call it ignorant. I moved to the BL3 (TA3) and am wishing I had just moved up to SKP with the BL2. I've gone through this thread and I'd love it if someone could help move me along.

My end goal is to move my S10e from Verizon over to ATT. I updated the BL, AP, CP, and non-home CSC using Odin to TA3. This was with the U1 files that I found on sammobile. That cleared the verizon splashscreen and bloatware (yay), but my Service Provider SW ver. still holds "VZW/VZW/VZW". If I've understood everything correctly up to this point, I now need to update the USERDATA to be ATT. Is this correct?

Unfortunately, when I try to roll back to BL2 / SKP (which I think has all the U, U1, and USERDATA files I need) I get:

<ID:0/005> File analysis..

<ID:0/005> Total Binary size: 7859 M

<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

A couple previous forums led me to believe that "FAIL! (Auth)" is indicative of this bootloader versioning issue. Am I correct in that as well? Any suggesions?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Well yah. If you've flashed bootloader 3 files, you've permanently upgraded the bootloader to version 3, so you can no longer flash any files that are bootloader versions 1 or 2. So you'll need to get bootloader version 3 files, which i'll upload to my OP links now
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] same-writer:
That's awesome. I think the USERDATA is just what I was missing. Final question for you. In Android 10, I pop in my SIM for step to of changing carriers and I get a popup that says:

"

New SIM card detected

Restart your phone to start using your new SIM card

| Cancel | Restart |

"

Is hitting restart here the same as your step 3 instruction to 'Watch for the popup that says "reboot to apply new carrier settings" etc, and do it'? Or is there another dialog I should expect to see. I've seen comments from others here who don't see the right popup and aren't able to force it.

If that's right, I'll try again today with:

1. flashing TB3 U1 (XAA) w/ no CARRIERDATA

2. popping in the SIM after a restart

3. accepting the new sim from the dialog above by restarting

4. re-flashing with TB3 U (ATT) + the new ATT CARRIERDATA

Let me know if I'm on the right track. Fingers crossed.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Yes, that's the popup mentioned in the OP
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] same-writer:
So I followed the steps I layed out above (other than the fact that my U1 XAA from sammobile was TA3 - there's no TB3 available there), and after the final download, carrier information was returned to my phone. Hiowever, it came back with a Verizon splashscreen and VZW/VZW/VZW in the Service Provider SW version section. The USERDATA_ATT file in 'Root/S10e/G970U/TB3 - 3' is what I need to put in the USERDATA section of Odin (with the matching U stack), right?

The phone shows that it is on baseband version G970USQU3CTB3, so the final download took just fine. The user data I pulled down from your OP links has the filename:

USERDATA_ATT_G970USQU3CTB3_CL17369568_QB29193291_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

Every step went off without a hitch. I'm baffled as to why I wasn't greeted with an AT&T splashscreen. Any thoughts?

Update: I ran through step 4 with both "HOME" and non-"HOME" crc files with no change in behavior. Step 1 clears all the bloat, Step 4 inexplicably adds back Verizon carrier data.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
You're not using an AT&T SIM. The SIM needs to match the USERDATA that you're flashing
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] same-writer:
Unfortunately, I'm definitely using an AT&T SIM. It's one that I just picked up and activated from AT&T this weekend. Funny thing is, when I flash any U1 XAA firmware onto the device and then try to use the phone, it will detect the SIM, connect to the AT&T network, and even allow me to place calls using my (correct) number. After about 1-2 minutes I get a popup on the device that says:

"

Change Carrier.

Sorry, your device can't be activated on another carrier's network right now. For help, contact Verizon at <customer service number>.

"

Further evidence (beyond the fact that the SIM says AT&T) is that I can pop the SIM in another phone and it will work exactly as I'd expect - calls and texts work no matter what. Any other info I can screenshot from the S10e or Odin or the files I've downloaded that might help you catch something I could be overlooking?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Your phone hasn't been SIM unlocked yet. And no matter which firmware you use, nothing is gonna work until that's done.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] same-writer:
Now that I would believe. I have been on the phone with Verizon technical support 3 times in the last 2 days, and 3 times I have been assured

"this IMEI is fully unlocked and will be usable with any carrier after a restart"

I have seen in other threads suggesting that you need to insert an active Verizon SIM and let that sit for an hour or so before the phone actually unlocks. Do you think this is something worth pursuing, or would I just be further waisting my time?

Thanks again for all your help on this.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
No idea. But if/when you get tired of battling Verizon, I can give you a recommendation for a 3rd party professional solution for getting it unlocked, if interested

Did this work for you?

I ordered a carrier unlocked s10e to use with T-Mobile, but was sent a Verizon model. I may ask for a partial refund instead of waiting a week or more to get this sorted out.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
As long as it's truly SIM unlocked, you wouldn't have grounds for a refund. And as long as it's truly unlocked, it should work fine with T-Mobile

Are you able to get Visual Voicemail by downloading the app from the Play Store?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] Charkatak:
The built-in visual voice mail that used to be in dialer app, no longer works. If you want to have visual voice mail, then you can just download(via PlayStore) your carrier's version of the VVM app. So for T-Mobile there is Visual Voice mail app that you can use.

I don't have Samsung phone at this time, but I use Pixel 4 as my daily driver and it has visual voice mail built-in :)
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] cory733:
Thanks, I see you originally bought the U1 version. Were you still able to use T-Mobile Wifi Calling and VOLTE on U1 before flashing the T-Mobile firmware? I think what I understand from your posts is that you wanted the other features like Video Calling and RCS (which I don't care about). I understand that a few features are tied to the IMEI, like Digits, which I also don't care about.

What I can't figure out yet is, if you flash to the U1 version from a carrier like verizon, are you getting everything that a stock U1 would have? (assuming the carrier version is sim unlocked of course)
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] Charkatak:
So If you just buy an unlocked US phone and use it on T-Mobile, then yes, phone should have WiFi Calling and VoLTE support. If that is all you need, then don't flash.

If you want extra stuff, then you can flash your U1 phone with U firmware from a carrier of your choice and possibly benefit from carrier specific features.

Digits isn't built-in anymore, so a separate carrier app is needed. In other words there is not much reason for us to flash to a carrier specific firmware if there are less and less built-in features.

Can't seem to find the correct version for mine.

I bought a handful of S10e's from an eBay seller who listed them as "NEW" We received them and started setting them up for some of our field guys but we then noticed that the Verizon bloatware didn't get installed and we need on these devices. I then later found out these are G970U1UES3CTA3 which are the unlocked "International" versions. Tried reaching out to the seller to see if we could return them but denied the return saying once we open the box no returns are accepted. Anywho... I can't find my version of these phones on here to flash over to the G970U version, can anyone please guide me to the right path on finding the firmware that I need to flash these from G970U1 to G970U ? Many thank yous!

Hi, i have the same phone, did you update It?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] ben00:
I wonder if anyone can help. This might not be correct forum.

I had an S8 (G950U1) that I purchased directly from Samsung US, and used in Canada with Bell Canada, for the last 2 years. As I only have a data plan, I always utilize the native SIP client, with the stock dialer (set up the settings using QuickShortcut Maker). I have recently purchased the S10e in Canada (G970W) and I have no luck it being able to make an SIP call using the dialer. All the settings the exact same. I assumed it had something do with the fact that it is the Canadian version. I flashed the U1 firmware, from Sammobile, on it, and it is now showing XAA/XAA/XAC under software. Still have no luck using the native SIP client. Does tips mean my phone is fully US version, or is it still the Canadian version, as the last / is XAC. Would it help to flash the combination files?

Can someone please help, or guide me? I rely on that feature. Thanks

wifi calling on factory unlocked version

Hello,

If I purchased an s10e factory unlocked from the samsung store, would I have to flash the tmobile firmware to make calls using their wifi calling?

If I have to, would I be losing functionality or freq band capabilities?

is G970UsQS3CTA3 with Security Patch as at

Feb 2020 and UI 2.0, my region is East Africa

but I get notification that my software is up to

date while I know there is new version of Ul which

2.1 already out to many region also security patch

level is almost up to May/June depending on

Some regions.

My worry is may be I cant get OTA timely or I cant

get it at all as I owned Unlocked version of USA

and I live another region. Therefore members

I need your help as if flashing my firmware to

U1 will solve this problem or there is another

alternative? and if U1 will solve my concern which

hoping for some help please. I have a sm-g970u s10e unlocked with at&t firmware on it. I am attempting to flash to sm-g970u1 XAA.

I have installed the latest samsung drivers.

I have used SamFirm to download and extract the 970u1 XAA.

I select BL, AP, and CP in their corresponding slots in Odin 3.14 (I have tried 3.13 as well)

In CSC I know you are NOT supposed to use the home version correct? I have used the file that starts with CSC.

The USERDATA slot I have tried a combination of using the Home file and regular CSC and leaving it blank.

I have tried two different computers, two different cables, running the program in administrator. I boot the phone into download mode. I do not have a sim installed while doing this.

The error I come across is first usually is 265 and then setup connection.

What am I doing wrong? Please help.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Make sure you're using Patched Odin. Setup Connection is a USB issue, so try a different USB port if it persists. You could also try using a different method to boot to Download mode - I've seen that have an effect sometimes

Having an issue. I have a Verizon G970U and I'm trying to flash AT&T U1 firmware. No matter what I do (flash U1 xaa package) if I put the AT&T SIM card into the phone, after it restarts I receive a message saying "Sorry, your device can't be activated on another carrier's network right now. For help, contact Verizon" and the network service turns off. For some reason the Verizon firmware is still lingering even after flashing the U1 firmware and your AT&T userdata file. Any help?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
1. There is no such thing as "AT&T U1 firmware". By definition, U1 is bloatware free and doesn't have any carrier apps or software whatsoever. Also, USERDATA should never be flashed when flashing U1 firmware. USERDATA is U firmware, not U1.

2. That message means the phone is still network locked to Verizon. It has to be unlocked in order to be used with a different carrier. I can provide a recommendation for a professional 3rd party business to do the unlocking, if needed

Okay if you're sure bout this just go to sammobile and download G970U1 firmware while you're region is CCT (I think you're well conversant with Odin and a thing to remember is if you wanat clean flash use CSC file but if you want to keep you're data use HOME_CSC file).... samfirm is so fast but you cant get the previous updates as here its preferred to start with March updates (although I think if you're using IDM download you will get fast download without problem on Sammobile)...
