Dual SIM function is not enabled on any U or U1 models. So no, you don't technically lose anything

So how did it work out? My vzw model unlocked today and it immediately switched itself over to at&t branding when it activated.

I don't really like branding so I am thinking about flashing the unlocked version.

is possible to back to android 9 ? i'm on one ui 2.5 but i saw they removed some libs for raw, and no gcam for the phone in front camera...

so can i back safety to older version ?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Android 10 was first released more than a year ago. You need to be on bootloader 1 or 2, in order to be able to go back to Android 9
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] Afonnsoo:
I check in app it says Bootloader : G970U1UES4ETK1

So is not possible ?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Correct - not possible

Anyone managed to install one ui 3.0 beta ? Yasterday i saw in my samsung members app. But could not install bcz i dont have a us SIM

[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
You can order a SIM from a site like eBay
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] Afonnsoo:
just a update for all

In samfirm website i find android 11 from comcast and xinifinity

for G970u

But im running unlocked firmware g970u1 can i install tais other from g970u without problems ?

What version of odin is needed ?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Yes, you can install it. Odin Patched 3.13 or 3.14 is needed

AT&T USERDATA for Android 11 has been added - build TLN. I also added the rest of the full firmware package because no one else had uploaded it to AFH yet
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] Samsungnite:
Hi,

I just ran into a bootloop(stuck at AT&T logo) after ATT push an OTA OS 11 update. I am able to get into the download mode and recovery mode where there is an ability to do an adb sideload. Since I am on AT&T and don't need to switch carrier, can I just use adb sideload to push the zip file (G9700U_TLN_4.zip)? or do I need to use patch ODIN to push to firmware?

I also have option to do a factory reset, but would lose all my personal files that I didn't get a chance to back up before it went into bootloop, so I was hoping to push either the OS11 firmware again or the previous firmware and still keep the personal file. If you have any suggestion how to recover the personal files would be very appreciated. thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
1. Odin firmware can't be used for adb sideload. ADB sideload uses an OTA zip, which only includes the changes made to the previous version - it's not considered full firmware. OTA zips are pretty difficult to find, and using ADB sideload wipes the device. So you wouldn't wanna use that anyways

2. Try wiping cache in Recovery and see if that fixes it. If not, then flash the TLN Odin firmware in Download mode, using HOME CSC (and don't download or flash USERDATA)
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] Samsungnite:
I didn't realize that the sideload wipes the device..thanks for the clarification...

I tried to do the wipe cache first, but it still got stuck at the AT&T logo after reboot.

I'm still waiting for the G970_TLN-4.zip to finish downloading, it's taking a while...I downloaded the ODIN3 v3.14.1_3B_PatcheD.zip from "realbbb". I guess once I download the zip file and open it in ODIN, everything needs to be selected except for the USERDATA field? I'll reach back when I get to this stage. Thanks for your quick assistance.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] Samsungnite:
While I was able to successfully push the files to the phone(as shown below), unfortunately after reboot, the phone is still stuck at the AT&T bootloop. Is there any way I can retrieve my personal files while in the Android Recovery Mode?Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] Samsungnite:
Is it possible for me to downgrade back to previous firmware (OS10) before all this mess? Can you point me to where I can get the ATT OS10 firmware that was before the OS11 Jan release. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
No

I'm sure the files are on AFH already. But going backwards in OS versions will almost always make a device either bootloop, or constantly give crashes and glitches, such that it's not really usable until you perform a factory reset. So I really don't think that would help you.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] Samsungnite:
9

I'm just hoping that it would be stable enough to pull my personal files. Then I can do a factory reset. Would G970U_TB3_3.zip be my best bet? It looks to be the last upload (March 16). Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Your device has bootloader 4. You can't flash a bootloader 3 firmware to it.

And no, that's not even close to the last upload. TB3 is almost a year old, by now. I guarantee there have been lots of other uploads between that release and Android 11
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] Samsungnite:
ah..looks like i'm out of luck then. Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
No, I didn't say you're out of luck. You just need to flash a different version, such as the last or second-to-last Android 10 version, before 11 was released
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] Samsungnite:
I tried searching through Sammobile, but didn't find AT&T on there...should I just use the SM-G970U model and just US as generic? If you can help point me to where I can find a second to last/last Android 10 version for me to try..
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
1. There is no such thing as carrier-specific firmware. That's fully explained in the OP. Any G970U version can be flashed to any G970U model at any time. The only thing that's "carrier-specific" is the USERDATA file, which doesn't apply here anyways

2. Don't use SamMobile, unless you're paying for a premium subscription. Download speed is like dial-up, if you're a free user. I already previously stated that I'm sure a recent Android 10 version is already on AFH
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] Samsungnite:
Sammobile<-- ah, didn't realise that it'll take forever to download.

You going to have to spell it out to me here :)...I take it that AFH is AndroidfileHost... I went to your folder on AFH for my phone, and the only one that was more recent was the TB3-3 (the TF6-4 contains the userdata file). I tried searching for the model of the phone on the website, but didn't return anything...Can you explain what I am missing, or how I find the files?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Didn't return anything....? Searching for "G970U" on AFH currently returns 149 files. So I have no idea what you're doing
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] Samsungnite:
So I'm looking for G970USQU4ETK3(Dec release) or G970USQS4ETJ2 (Nov release)
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] Samsungnite:
Yep, my bad, typed in a G9670U earlier..
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
You want to stay as close to the current version as possible. So choose a TKx or TLx (if possible) version
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] Samsungnite:
I only was able to find G970USQU4ETH7 (Sept 2020 release), I wasn't able to locate ETK3
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Ahh. I guess now that I think about it, that's not surprising, considering the E is the least popular of the S10 series. Makes sense that there would be more files available for the other 2 models. Sorry, I should have checked myself first.

I have a premium subscription to SamMobile so I'll download TK2 and put it up on AFH for you
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] Samsungnite:
Nah, all good. Thanks for your help. If you could find it, I would appreciate that if you could upload G970USQU4ETK3 I would appreciate it... the TK2 is for S10 (no 'e' )...or do they both work?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
What are you talking about? SamMobile only shows TK2 for G970U, not TK3

I had a look at the Sammobile site again..You're right, it looks like they don't have the ETK3.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Correct. So I'm giving you TK2. It's uploading to AFH as we speak
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Okay it's there now. Hope it helps
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] Samsungnite:
Thanks. I'll let you know how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] Samsungnite:
BTW, the TK2 will work with the S10e also? The AT&T website said it was only for S10.

NVM, the TK2 on AT&T website is for G977UU (S10), Sammobile has G970U in firmware filename.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
AT&T never got TK2; they got TK3. It doesn't matter though. U stands for "universal". As the OP states, any firmware version from any carrier can be flashed to any device at any time, as long as you're not trying to downgrade the bootloader.

Carriers don't matter anymore, for Samsung devices. If T-Mobile and Verizon both get the same software version for the same model, then the Odin files for that version will be 100% identical for both carriers, except for USERDATA
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] Samsungnite:
For my education, how can you tell which version the bootloader that you're on or which version is the BL file using?

So, I push through the TK2, and now I don't get stuck at the the AT&T logo, it looks like it's now stuck earlier at the Samsung logo..I get the msg " Can't load Android system...etc" tells me that I may need to do factory reset. On the bottom of the screen i have:

Trying to search for how to fix this error...wondering if I should download the an earlier version (TH7) and push it through...seems like a few people have came across this issue, but I haven't found someone that had offer a solution on how to fix it...except someone from XDA saying to use the full ODIN..and using a PIT file...I don't want to start messing with partitioning..at that point, might as well do a factory reset...As always, any suggestions are welcome
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:

Hi Guy's,

I hope you are all well and keeping safe.. Sorry for asking this question but would really appreciate your expert help as its been a long time since I updated my phone.

I live in the UK and have a USA SM-G970U1 unlocked which is on Build Number : G970U1UES4ETL1 Android version : Q(Android 10) Security patch level : 2021-01-01.

If I upgrade to Model SM-G970U Model name Galaxy S10e Country USA (USC)

Version Product code	USC G970USQU4FTLN CSC G970UOYN4FTLN Version Android 11 from SAM mobile is that version unlocked and also is their a way to do it so it does not affect the CSC and just updated Android leaving it s SM-G970U1 and not changing it to SM-G970U.

I don't want to brick or break my phone I understand the principle will take a backup of it but want to keep everything else intact.

The guide when you download the software from SAM mobile is straight forward.

Thanks Sham
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Nope, you always need to flash CSC also

No, you can't flash U firmware and leave it as a U1 model. If you flash U firmware, it will show G970U as the model

Anyone else experience this problem? If so, any tips what I can do?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] JurrienXR:
Update

I downloaded the android 11 galaxy g970U USA (USC) firmware and that worked great. No issues during flashing.

I guess the problem was with the U1 firmware. Note, I downloaded both using frija.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryanspivey35:
I finally got it. Tried just flashing the U tk2 and when it rebooted I had 2 Verizon apps and data wouldn't work. Ended up flashing it to U1 TL1 and leaving it alone as it works with the Verizon Sim. Unless there's a benefit to running the Verizon userdata
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] Ahm H2:
Hi there... I have a bit of confusion at the time. I want to flash android 11 stock rom into my ATT SM- G970U. As the 4 base files are identical except userdata, if I flash other carriers U rom without userdata, those 4 identical files, will that work fine?

And if there is not gonna be any issue going with U1 XAA rom, which Odin version is recommended by experts, will Odin3_v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD do the job for me without any errors?

Kindly tell me the best way from above two with lowest risk factor.

Plz reply ASAP. I'm done with Android 9 pie now.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] JurrienXR:
If you read my above post you'll see my own issues with the latest U1 rom, but you might have more luck.

U can use the 4 base files that will work.

U can also flash other US based roms since they identical the difference is in the CSC.

It's better to flash the CSC other then yours so you get a clean install.

Idk about 3B patched for the latest rom, but you can use the latest odin 3.14.1
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] Ahm H2:
So If I go for the same USC rom that worked great for you, it's gonna be fine and I'll also get rid of all the AT&T bloat ware too...right?

But your s10e was global

Thanks a lot.

So if I flash the same USC U firmware into my AT&T SM-G970U phone... It won't fail and work perfectly fine and even all the bloat ware will go away...right?

And also please let me know did you flash USC userdata too?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] JurrienXR:
It won't fail, but the bloatware stayed in my case. I flashed the non HOME CSC like it's suggested but everything stayed. No data wipe.

I have the ATT version running android 10 not the global. Now running on Android 11
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
If you want to flash G970U1, then why would you flash "other carriers U rom" ?

U and U1 are 2 totally different things. If you want U1, then you flash U1

[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Yes and no.

You can use HOME CSC if you're just flashing from U to another U firmware (as long as you're not downgrading). But if you want to switch from Sprint bloatware to Verizon bloatware, that requires flashing U1 first, if the phone is not doing the conversion automatically. And you cannot go from U to U1 via HOME CSC - you have to use the regular one

Hi there,

If I flash the U1 firmware into my U model, will this remove the network lock as well? If it doesn't, then does changing imei after this carrier bloatware free rom flash help?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Flashing U1 never automatically network unlocks any device. The network lock resides much deeper than that. Yes, changing the IMEI would automatically network unlock it but i don't know why you would do that. You can't do it yourself - it requires a professional 3rd party company. It's also more expensive than simply having a professional network unlock it. XDA also forbids discussion of that topic.
