Odin files haven't been put on Sammy's servers yet. They may be halting the rollout though - I've seen reports of some 11 updates being yanked due to bugs.

But if you do want to install it, you can pull it using Xfinity's CSC
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] stanleyopar2000:
Strange that VZW can get the OTA but it's not directly on Samsung's servers. Oh well, "CHA" worked great. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Odin files don't automatically become available as soon as the OTA starts. I'm sure they'll put them up sometime this week, unless Verizon has specifically requested more time to test, due to the various reported bugs with the 11 rollout
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MadCabbit:
For whatever reason, Xfinity Mobile's Android 11 update is on Samsung's servers (use CCT instead of VZW in Frija). This firmware is pretty close to Verizon, since they use Verizon's network. Not sure if you'd get the right branding, it may keep Verizon's branding/bloat based on your SIM card. Not sure why this is up first before VZW on Samsung's servers, though.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] PlutoDelic:
Is this the usual drill with U1's? I got a U1 that i flashed the VZW Beta update zip, but it still uses the XAA CSC. Would flashing the CHA Odin files with the patched Odin work as it should (retain XAA and update successfully)?

EDIT: nvm, there's no Odin files pushes anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] md07:
i have a question.

My phone S10+ original Tmobile unlocked with Tmobile bloatware

I flashed to U1 XAA firmware successful, and have no bloatware, it also show my firmware us U1, but i notice there is Service Provider still ...TMB/TMB/TMB, what is this? I think after flash U1 XAA firmware it will not show service provider or show XAA istead TMB, right?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
No, the Service Provider doesn't always change
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] beapbass:
Hi,

I just bought a refurbished S10+ from ebay. I am located in Germany (as is the seller), but it turns out I got a US version with Sprint branding. However, my UICC was accepted, so that theoretically shouldn't be a major problem.

Now do I understand correctly that I can not flash a German firmware on that model? But I could flash a non-branded US-firmware? Is there still a version that does not automatically convert to the provider's version (i.e., stays unbranded) but still gets updates?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Yes, U1 firmware gets updates
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] beapbass:
Thanks, and were would I find the latest version of that? I'm guessing the one in the first post isn't up to date anymore? (Same for Odin)
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Either the Windows tool Frija, or SamFW.com are my go-to recommendations for firmware.

Yes, you can still use the Odin linked in the OP
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] beapbass:
OK, so I'm now checking SamFW, but what I'm finding is a latest firmware version ending in UJ1 for all providers which also appears to be the one installed on my device. I'm not quite sure what to make of that, is this the version automatically adjusting to your current provider? How would I find the completely unbranded version on SamFW? Model number is SM-G975U
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
You previously asked if unbranded firmware gets updates. I said "Yes, U1 firmware gets updates". That means that U1 firmware is unbranded firmware. That means that you need G975U1, not G975U
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] beapbass:
Ah OK. Nonetheless, when I search for G975U1 on samfw there are entries for different providers, or am I reading this completely wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
XAA is the standard base U1 firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] silverbox750:
hi there . just need a little help . trying to debrand my s10 plus verizon ,falshing 975u1 firmware via modified odin , but getting this error . please let me know what im doing wrong ?

thnaks
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] silverbox750:
phone says software version check error .

its running android 10 and 2.5ui

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Looks like you're trying to flash Android 9, per the file names. So if your device currently has Android 10, you're likely trying to flash a version that has a lower bootloader level than what your device currently has. You can only flash firmware of the same bootloader level or higher - never lower
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] silverbox750:
Hi .thanks for your quick reply .

Where can I get the same firmware android 10 ?

If u got the link ,would be great .

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
There are hundreds of websites that host Samsung firmware. They should all have a compatible version for you
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] silverbox750:
u right . but i cant find the android 10 u1 unbranded firmware for verizon s10+ . or any us firmware will do ?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Finding G975U1 Android 10 firmware should be very very easy. Google is your friend
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Ni3zam.h:
hi.. i am a beginner in this area.. so, my Samsung S10+ is unlocked version from US that i bought online. the issue is OTA are not working as I'm in Malaysia. Therefore, can anyone recommend a correct or suitable ROM to use ? Btw, this is my CSC: G975USQS3CTA3 and the phone is an AT&T variant. Thank You.. pls just ask if you need additional informations.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
You can flash any G975U firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Ni3zam.h:
If i were to load load this u1 firmware would it be ok.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
yep
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Cloud9pro:
Mine doesn't show any network variant can I still flash any G975U android 12 os on it?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jtskir222:
good morning My s10+ unlocked was destroyed and I bought a refurb one on amazon has the android 12 on it. I've been reading through all the post. Everything says to upgrade. Will doing this downgrade me to android 10 or will I mess the phone up. I want to be on android 10. I use bold beast to record my phone calls and it wont work on android 12. Unless someone knows something like bold beast to work on android 12
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] danbest82:
As far as I know you cannot downgrade. Only upgrade or cross-flash same version. Someone else may know better though.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
When you said "any of these", it sounded like you were wanting to change to a different carrier's firmware, or to U1. You do not need to wipe if you're merely updating to a new version via Odin instead of OTAing
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Jomino:
Sorry about the confusion lol, thanks for confirming!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
AT&T codes their devices to factory reset automatically whenever you flash in Odin or directly in recovery. Unfortunately there is no way to not factory reset on ATT, unless you wait for the OTA to push out from them.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Jomino:
Really? That's strange... I just flashed the phone yesterday and it didn't force me to factory reset... I checked the software information and the update definitely worked, I am not running SAB rather than SAT, the FPS works way better and my camera has instgram mode. I will say, when the phone was finished flashing, it DID boot to android recovery, to which I just told the phone to reboot itself... it boot looped for about 5-8 minutes and then finally booted up with an android message saying that it was finishing updating. No issues now what so ever.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
That's good news. Hopefully not a glitch or one time occurrence. Both the S9 and Note 9 force factory resets whenever ATT firmware was on the device. Not sure about the S8/Note 8, though.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Jomino:
Maybe it had something to do with the fact that I was already on AT&T so I didn't use the userdata file? Since ibowtoandroid said that the firmware files were all interchangeable I just installed the U firmware without the userdata file and this is the result. I'm still able to use AT&T bloatware as well so nothing changed.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
On the other devices it didn't matter which one you flashed because just being on ATT prior caused the wipe. But this is good news if that stopped happening.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Nope.

If you ADB sideload an OTA zip in recovery, then yes, it wipes. But the standard Odin protocol that HOME CSC saves data and regular CSC wipes it applies to all carriers - AT&T included. It'll never wipe as long you use HOME CSC, no matter what model it is
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
Good to know.

Now that I think about it, maybe it was due to the ATT firmwares not having the CSC HOME file on the N9 uploads.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Correct. HOME CSC is never included by default with AT&T firmwares. And actually, it wasn't included with any of the carrier firmwares for the S10, when I first got my hands on them. (Although now, you'll get HOME CSC if you download it from SamFirm.)

So what I've always done for all AT&T firmwares, regardless of model (and what I did for all my S10 firmwares), is to unpack the file, remove the part that does the wipe, and pack it back up. It's nice to not be forced to wipe if you don't want to
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Tennolee:
so how we can unlocked for samsung galaxy s10 plus sprint ?? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
If you're referring to a SIM unlock for use with a different network, then you need to find a business that offers such a service
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elite-fusion:
Hey so about this....

Just wanted to confirm that if I do flash the CP via ODIN, the phone WILL NOT restore itself, right? I just dont want to have to go through backing everything up if I dont have to just to install the CP to get RCS
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] SimplyNando:
Any AT&T S10+ firmware yet? Need to flash a Verizon S10+ so I can use it with AT&T. I'd prefer the AT&T firmware over the U1, though!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Just flashing CP won't do anything for you

Yep, I posted AT&T firmware in my thread over a month ago
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elite-fusion:
When you say it wont do anything FOR me, do you mean it will not allow for RCS btwn samsung phones on the tmo network?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Correct. Whether carrier-specific features work depends on the entire firmware, not just on one piece of it. And besides, all Samsung firmware is universal now. If you go to SamFirm and download the same build for T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon, you'd see that the CP file would be the exact same file in all 3 firmwares, once you extracted them
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rottdog:
I have a question. I am a tmobile customer. I am getting a good trade in deal on the s10+ through samsung directly but only on the unlocked version. This is a US unlocked device. can i use all the carrier features on that device? If not, is it possible to apply this tmobile firmware to that device to facilitate that?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elite-fusion:
Yes, you can install the TMO software on the phone and get all the TMO features. Only downside of using an Unlocked version of the phone is that you wont be able to insure your phone with TMO since it is not their branded variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rottdog:
That wouldn't stop me from getting the samesung insurance though i'm assuming. Awesome. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elite-fusion:
Nope, shouldnt.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rottdog:
Thank you!. Now i just need to unload the SM-G975F/DS that i have so i can buy the US variant lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] SimplyNando:
I found your post, thank you! I've been out of the loop for a few years so please forgive the noob-esque questions.

If I flash the AT&T firmware to a Verizon model, will it get OTA updates or will I need to update via Odin? It's not a deal breaker, i'm just trying to see what I'm setting myself up for.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I don't know for sure. Results have been mixed, according to posters
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mastibeta:
You should get AT&t updates, if you flash the whole set of firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
You should wind up with AT&T firmware and OTAs as well, but some have reported that the S10 series firmware is not yet universal and won't switch carriers fully. If that happens, you can download the U1 firmware to at least get rid of the Verizon configuration. However you will not have WiFi Calling, RCS messaging, or VoLTE.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Dr8ven:
Anyone knows what else we lose besides wifi calling when going from Verizon to U1? I'm debating on flashing or not... The bloatware is killing me :( I disabled what I could but somehow it gets enabled and on top of that they install ota games etc, ridiculous!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] thecarp1975:
I'm unlocked on Verizon and I have Wi-Fi calling and Volte, no video calling though.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Dr8ven:
Nice! Do you get updates from Samsung directly? I guess a better question is there any downside to being on u1?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dxearner:
I purchased an unlocked S10+ G975U1 from Samsung directly. Went through the process of flashing t-mo firmware via Odin with files from Frija. Seems to have been successful. However, in checking my baseband version, it still shows G975U1UEA1ASBA. Should I expect this to change to the non u1 version? If it matters I flashed the t-mo AP,CSC, and BL files and NOT the userdata.

Edit, found that I needed to flash the user data file to get a different baseband.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Jose Reyes:
I did the same but also flashed the user data. To do full conversion all files need to be flashed. My baseband version changed.

---------- Post added at 09:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ----------

I did the same but also flashed the user data. To do full conversion all files need to be flashed. My baseband version changed. Flashing user data will Force a factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Dr8ven:
I just went ahead and flashed it to u1 since I was tired of Verizon bloat and man it was the same thing lol...I disabled Facebook app, Facebook app installer, Facebook app manager, Facebook services, youtube, etc. I don't use Facebook and prefer YouTube vanced anyways and they were all re-enebaled and updated this morning automatically #bruh
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] thecarp1975:
Yes, but I have to wait until the carriers first release an update before the unlocked model receives it. I personally don't see a downside on U1.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxys:
Also, no downside on the U1...
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Dr8ven:
So far so good now so I'll give it a chance or else I might be going back to OP6t
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] SMOKEmcoc:
I have an att s10+ would it be possible to convert to sprint or verizon?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Your baseband didn't change because you skipped the CP file

My phone is Verizon version and trying to flash U1.

Anyone knows why when I flashed the U1 using CSC for factory reset. It pass in Odin and I still have VZW/VZW/VZW. Even though, Build number is U1.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
It will always show that because it's based on the SIM. If you insert a different network's SIM, it'll change to match the SIM.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
T-Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile, and Xfinity Mobile ASD3 firmware posted. Also posted ASC8 for Sprint.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Lol, you know you can just point them to SamFirm, instead of doing all that downloading and uploading yourself...?

Anyways. SD3 isn't available on SamFirm for Verizon yet, but I've added the USERDATA to my folder on AFH for those who want it
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
I know I can, but since SamFirm can be picky, I just grab them and mirror on AFH. Also helps pass the time when work is slow. I still can't get my hands on ATT, so I added a link to your thread in the first post, with credit given.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Hmm never seen it be picky. AT&T and Cricket won't let their files be hosted on it, and you have to use manual input for Verizon. But other than that, it's always worked great for me.

Anyways... thanks for the H/T :D Too bad we can't earn revenue from XDA for hit/clicks LOL

Thanks again. I odined it. Then immediately got the OTA update Verizon pushed today.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] vladdroid:
So just wanna clarify. I bought the unlocked version from Samsung.com. I have Verizon. I can flash it with the Verizon firmware and use all the original Verizon features like VoLte and Wifi calling and possibly voice call.....and when I feel like it I can flash the unbranded one (is that like the one I have getting unlocked out of box?) and it will be back to my brand new phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Basically, yes. But getting ALL carrier-specific features is not guaranteed
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] vladdroid:
Honestly just need wifi calling and VoLte for clear calls thats all :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] simonsickle:
So forgive me if I have done something wrong here, but I can not seem to figure out whats going wrong with my Odin flash. I purchased an AT&T device, then paid it off and did a network unlock. Once that happened, I put the SIM card for VZW into it and confirmed everything was working (texts, calls, internet) and decided I wanted to flash the verizon firmware.

I grabbed the odin from the OP as well as the verizon firmware and flashed all images (BL, AP, CP, CSC and USERDATA) and I used the CSC without home in the title... Booted and showed a reset, then the ATT logo like nothing happened. I checked the firmware version and it shows the proper software version but carrier software still shows ATT/ATT/ATT and I am flat out stumped... The Verizon sim has been in it during all of the flashing and resets, etc.

So I decided to try the U1 firmware to see if it worked, and it cleared all the ATT BS and everything seems to work now as expected....

Is there any benefit of trying to fight to get the VZW version onto this device or should I be happy with no bloat?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
There's a specific procedure that you have to follow in order to change from one U firmware to another. I don't know if I've posted the steps in this specific thread, but they're definitely in my own S10+ firmware thread. Basically, if you reflash VZW now, you should get all their bloat and features
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
As stated above, the process is a little more involved than it was for the S9 and Note9. They had fully universal firmware that used only the SIM to determine device configuration. This should come to the S10 series within a few months, but until it does, you need to flash U1 firmware (like you already did) and then flash the VZW U firmware. Be sure to manually factory reset before the first boot to be safe.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
Added ASD3 for Verizon, and shifted the first post around a bit to hopefully clear up some questions.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Huh? All U and U1 firmware is fully universal and interchangeable. It's been that way ever since the S8. Yes, the SIM determines configuration - that feature exists on both U and U1. But here's nothing new coming to the S10
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
I added that because there were reports in the first week of release that firmware swapping wasn't working like it's supposed to. Samsung was asked about it, and they said true universal firmware was still pending for the S10.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Hungry hustler:
I recently bought a mi mix 2s online. Phone was presented as brand new global version. It was from a srore and not a private person so i thought all is good. Phone came and first thing i noticed there were no seals on the box..seemed a bit strange..went ahead open the box and everything inside was in chinese - all the paperwork and all writings on the box and everything. Not a single word in another language but chinese...i thought wow...there is something wrong here..turned the phone on and the first thing that catched my eye was the little lock sign saying unlocked...phone booted normally and it was on the global rom, did its updates and all and is working fine. What i think happend here is they are buying devices from china and unlock their bootloaders, flashing global rom and selling them as new global version in the usa. Mybquestions here are:

1. Is there any difference between chinese and global version of the phone (hardware)

2. Can they legally do that? Messing with the software unlocking the bootloader and sell the product as brand new?

Thanks
