Oh yeah I know that, no worries. It's a rather complicated situation I've detailed here (https://xdaforums.com/s10-plus/help/unlocked-verizon-s10-locked-t3958991).

I knew flashing wouldn't fix the SIM lock, I just didn't think it was a hard lock when I first got it and just flashed it right on over to U1 then TMB. That was a dumb thing to do and I should have researched out what was happening first. Turns out it actually is locked despite being purchased back in March straight from Samsung. Some guy on reddit apparently had my same issue and I have to spend some time with Verizon tier 2 tech support and convince them to do an emergency SIM unlock.

I'm making an assumption that I need to be on the VZW firmware since it has no readily available PIN unlock interface and instead just pops up a box that directs you to the activation help line. Thus I'm trying to go back to VZW firmware. However after I flashed U1>TMB I can't get the phone to flash to anything else. I can flash back to U1 and do a factory reset, but when I flash to VZW I get TMB firmware with two of the Verizon apps haphazardly thrown in. I'm lost as to what is happening now.

I'm figuring if I can't get VZW to work again I'm going to have to just go back to U1 firmware and try my luck with Verizon support from there.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Your previous issue with the T-Mo device purchased straight from Samsung is a very common story that we get from customers contacting my business - usually multiple inquiries every week. So that sounds like what's going on here. Verizon's 60 day window used to be 48 hours, up until about a month ago. So if this device was purchased back in March, then it must fall under the 48 hour category. But IIRC, the device needed to have active service for those 48 hours. So you may need to hope for that emergency from tier 2, or use a service like mine - which is most definitely not sketchy :)

As far as getting back to VZW firmware, that'll require a VZW SIM, as outlined in the steps given in the OP. And I can pretty confidently say that VZW firmware will be required for that emergency unlock - if you can convince them to do it
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] camwow13:
Ohhh crud you're right I need a VZW SIM. I have some friends that can help I guess, but not around them at the moment.

That's interesting that this is such a common issue. Way back when I got a T-Mobile S8 straight from Samsung, T-Mobile had issues unlocking the phone because Samsung didn't pass them the IMEI list. Regular support would tell you it was impossible. I know a TMO employee though and he pointed me to the Twitter support team where one dude apparently knew a senior level network engineer. I gave that random guy my proof of purchase and IMEI and then he just cleared my phone manually from their system. Amazing what's possible if you get the right combination.

Guess those problems keep you in business though. Maybe I'll chat with you about your unlock service lol

My current build number is PPR1.180610.011.G975USQU2ASF6

Which U1 Unbranded Firmware should I download?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
A version that also has a 2 in the same place
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] leonardo3264:
Can you please assist me with which file, or a link to the file?I'm totally new to this - first Samsung phone actually.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Reading the thread would really help.

Use SamFirm

anyone use this with odin?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wacky2bakky:
U can't. It's a update zip. U have to flash in recovery but u have to be on the ASGC build first which with that build u can Odin
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dcasun:
for the life of me i cant find a u1 v2 G975U1UEU2ASGB download for my verizon s10+ if anyone has a download for it would be great i read through 40 pages and not one person has a download for it just lots of referencing of it

thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
You don't download it from a person. You use an internet tool/program.

In 40 pages, you never saw the word "SamFirm" even once?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
Windows 10 seems to think SamFirm is a serious security threat that contains a specifically named Trojan. At first I thought it was a bad file but all SamFirm files I can find get tagged as a serious threat. Is this normal? Frija which I haven't had much success using doesn't get flagged the same way.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I can't ever remember seeing something like that, for SamFirm. I don't like Windows security very much though - or any security, really. So my settings may be different than yours. You can use Frija if you like instead - it's basically the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Shuthefrontdoor:
Don't mean to be annoying but does anyone have a download link to tmo latest or even asgc firmware? I'm trying to convert my u1 to tmo, I tried frija but it just keeps giving me errors, any help in right direction is appreciated thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Frija works perfectly fine. I'd recommend reading their thread/instructions again. SM-G975U and TMB. Bam.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dcasun:
i recommend you let someone else help us rather then just giving us dead end answers bro i appreciate you pointing a finger where to go but your way is a dead end wall lol
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mistermidas:
Just got this update from Sprint. 510MB, but description doesn't say much about what's included or changed. Got the night mode in the last update, and security updates alone aren't this big, so I'm curious about the contents.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
It's really not a dead end wall. If you read through this thread and also my own threads, you'll see that there are lots of people using Frija perfectly fine. Any "dead ends" amount to user error.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
Since there are only 68 pages in this thread it makes perfect sense to read through all the posts before asking a question.

As for Frija I've been rooting and flashing phones since Android Jellybean and I haven't been able to successfully use Frija in manual mode which is the only way you can download firmware that doesn't exactly match what's already on your phone (if you want to switch from AT&T firmware to Verizon or U1 then you need to use the manual mode)...

And yes, I have read every single post in the Frija thread as well as every single post in this thread and the other S10+ firmware thread where you are the OP.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I really don't think you're getting a good grasp of what you're reading then. The only time that you need to use Manual entry in SamFirm or Frija is if you want Verizon firmware. All other carriers and regions will auto populate the latest version via Auto entry
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jwarrior319:
He did say he's switching to Verizon firmware though.(at least that's what i got out of it)
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I didn't see anything in that user's posts over the past few days indicating which firmware they're looking for. All they've said is that SamFirm gets flagged by their antivirus, and they've had issues trying to use Frija
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jwarrior319:
Just ODIN flashed BSGJ. Available on sammobile for SPR.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
I already switched my phone from AT&T to U1 firmware several months ago but had zero success using Frija. In autopopulate mode Frija only found updates for the same version firmware I was already running--I had AT&T firmware so it only showed updates for AT&T firmware which wasn't what I wanted. I tried to search for the latest U1 firmware in manual mode but was not successful--and like many other people who tried to use Frija in manual mode without success I could get no support.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
You don't need manual mode to get U1 firmware via SamFirm or Frija. Type "SM-G975U1" in the Model field and "XAA" in the CSC/Region field, and click "Check Update".

Boom.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
I got no results when I tried what you described with Frija a couple months ago when I was still interested in using the software. Numerous people reported in the XDA thread at the time that they could not get Frija to work and the response would typically be you must be doing something wrong which wasn't helpful. The attitude of the Frija dev was that users who couldn't get Frija to work shouldn't be using Frija.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I've never had one single solitary issue with either Frija or SamFirm. You type in the correct info, and it gives you what you're looking for. So yes, any issues I would also have to attribute to user error.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] WhoIsJohnGalt1979:
Good morning peeps, has any one on Verizon gotten the August security patch update yet? Seems all other vendors have pushed the same since a week or two..
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
They literally just published the update info today. So OTAs should start soon, if not already. And I did just verify that the Odin files are available via SamFirm and Frija (manual input required). It's build SGJ
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] WhoIsJohnGalt1979:
Got the update just now on both mine and my wife's s10+
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] cas8180:
So spent two days just trying to do something that I thought should have happened when I popped my TMobile sim into my unlocked att S10+. Switch carrier branding/csc. My wife's note 9 did this. And so did her note 10+. So I was quite baffled when the carrier/csc did not change. So anyways I have spend over a day now trying to flash different versions of firmware. Tried going from u1 based firmware from u. Failed in everything I tried (auth fail from Odin). I tried about 4 different t mobile specific versions of firmware nothing worked. Tried multiple different permutations of flashing from factory resetting to nand erase. 16 hours later I still can't get the T-Mobile csc to stick no matter what I try att csc always persists.

Thanks for your reply~~~:)
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
The instructions for converting from one carrier's firmware to another are given in the OP of most of my threads. If you get an auth fail in Odin, it's probably because you're trying to downgrade the bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Shockpro95:
Help

My phone is version G975USQU2BSGJ, which one did you use?:confuso:
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
Perfect example of the response everyone who had problems using Frija received when looking for help--and I've only been flashing Android phones for 8 years so I clearly have no idea what I'm doing.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Well, I'm sure I can tell you how to fix it if you tell me what firmware you're trying to get, and what you're typing into Frija in order to get it
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
Thanks for the offer but I ended up getting the firmware I needed without using Frija. After I converted my phone from AT&T to U1 firmware I've just left it alone to receive OTA updates. I don't see myself manually flashing firmware again.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Looks like the latest TMobile update now supports brand switching. Yay. Just tried it.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Brand switching?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
The software feature where a SIM unlocked U model will automatically apply the bloatware and settings of the SIM that's inserted, without needing to do the conversion manually
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] bostonbeemah:
Firmware version and download link by any chance???

SAMMOBILE takes foreverrrrrrr if you arent premium. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I don't know what version you're asking for exactly. But you can get everything except AT&T firmware via either SamFirm or Frija

Getting Error 102 - unable to find firmware

I'm quite confused by the way this thread operating.

Correct me if I'm wrong - most people would come here for the same reason I did - to flash latest "clean" stock firmware on their US phones they got from different carriers, to get rid of bloat.

We don't have latest unbranded firmware in the OP, both Frija and Samfirm do not work for me, I get errors.

Googling latest unbranded FW gives me different confusing results.

My point and a suggestion is - why there's no one link in the OP for the latest unbranded FW? There are few of those, why there's no indication of which one is the latest? Wouldn't that make people's life easier? Why would anyone want to download not the latest FW?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] twoxa:
Ok guys, just flashed unbranded FW on my Sprint S10+, sharing my experience.

FW I found as the latest is G975U1UES2ASGF, can be found online or via Frija v1.2 (1.3 didn't work for me).

Then simply follow OP instructions (we are missing ODIN instructions here but you can find them online).

I didn't have to factory reset after flashing, everything is up and running: LTE, VoLTE, wifi calling setting is present (didn't test it).

Security patch is August 1st.

Zero bloat, all Sprint stuff is gone.

Same 1.1 One UI. Same settings and everything, dark mode etc etc.

Overall feels like same exact FW just a bit smoother without a bloat. Def boots/reboots faster. Can't say I lost any carrier features, at least for now.

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Well of course it would make people's lives easier, if they were spoon-fed all the answers. But if you have to work for it, that's when you learn. You know, the old "give a man a fish" saying.

There are plenty of threads on how to find and download the latest versions, and also on to interpret the various characters in a Samsung build number, in order to know when it was released
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] twoxa:
Ah good old XDA... Endless battle between people asking basic questions and "gate keepers" telling them to read more lol.

I believe there's golden middle in this. Otherwise you keep wasting your time replying to people while saying nothing.

OP is half baked for what it's trying to do imho. Bunch of firmwares... why? People need the latest one, that's it. No step by step instructions for people new to Samsung phones and Odin...
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
This is not a "beginner's guide to Odin flashing" - type thread. There are plenty of those all over XDA. The reason for the the firmwares linked in the OP is for the benefit of those who were browsing the thread at the time that those links were posted. There are already very easy ways for anyone to go get the latest version themselves. There's no reason for any XDA user to go download it from those sources, and then upload it to AFH, and then post a link to it.

Bootloader 2 for U1 has been out for quite a while now.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
I'm not a Verizon customer but I had some issues with my T-Mobile service with an AT&T unlocked S10+ until I flashed the U1 firmware. You might be better off with Verizon firmware than U1 but if you don't have AT&T service you definitely don't want their firmware. I never got OTA updates with the AT&T firmware since I didn't have an AT&T SIM and also had issues with messaging, Wi-Fi and voicemail.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] blindedcoon:
Thanks, I didn't realize u1 v2 was out I've read as much as possible but must have missed it. I know I have to flash u1 first and then verizon but I would like to have updates as well. And I am having issues with messages and calls also so looks like I need to figure out the new u1 v2 to use and get it flashed. Thanks for the replies. Always helpful here
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
If you flash U1 you will get OTA updates from Samsung and if you flash Verizon you should get OTA updates from Verizon since you have a Verizon SIM (I'm not sure if Verizon updates phones with their firmware but a different carrier's SIM). But if you manually flash a build version not available on your firmware of choice then you won't receive OTA updates and will need to flash future updates manually. Some people do that when a feature becomes available that isn't on their current firmware but it breaks OTAs.

Anyone have the latest tmobile s10+ firmware link they like to share?

Why does no one read the thread....??

You can get it yourself very easily from SamFirm
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
Which Microsoft's security in Windows 10 immediately identifies as a dangerous Trojan and deletes. Since Microsoft doesn't similarly flag Frija I'm not sure SamFirm is actually safe to use. Aren't SamFirm and Frija supposed to function in more or less the same manner?

What adds to my concerns is that in addition to Frija Microsoft's Windows 10 security detects no issues with firmware download and flashing tools I've used for Xiaomi and Huawei phones--only SamFirm and Microsoft identifies the Trojan in SamFirm by name.

Do you know for certain that current versions of SamFirm are safe to install and use?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
/rolls eyes

Have you not noticed how many users have talked about using SamFirm? Have you read any of the threads about SamFirm?

975u1 August Firmware Patch T mobile

Hello,

I have an unlocked S10+ (Sm-975u!) US version with snapdragon in it. Im on TMob. I just received update G975U1UEU2BSGL.

Where the heck is night mode at? Its still grayed out and QR scanner does not work
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I thought night mode was confirmed to be added to U1 like 2 updates ago.

I would lean towards a setting being turned off or something similar. Or maybe try a factory reset
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mellyquell:
So I bought an S10+ G975U from MetroPCS, turns out it was originally an ATT phone so it has the ATT firmware. The problem for me is I can't receive OTA updates with this, thus I'm probably looking to switch to TMobile firmware (since I don't think there's anything specific to MetroPCS other than TMobile).

I've downloaded the modified Odin, enabled USB debugging, and have installed the Samsung USB drivers. I've also used SamFirm to download G975U/TMB firmware (the Tmobile firmware I want to end up on), however I understand I should flash U1 firmware before the U firmware since I'm switching from ATT firmware to TMobile firmware. My question is, using SamFirm would I be searching for G975U1/TMB firmware? I'm asking about the "TMB" part of the U1 firmware since I'm not sure if it should be carrier specific or if there's another three lettering I should be using for U1 (such as XAA?). Any help is greatly appreciated.

Edit: I went ahead and followed everything in this thread and successfully installed the Tmobile firmware on my originally ATT phone. My original confusion was downloading through SamFirm, I couldn't use G975U1/XAA combo to download U1 firmware since it resulted in an error but rather I used the G975U1/TMB combo which worked... don't know if that makes a difference whether I used a different carrier in the combo or not).

Also installing the G975U/TMB software on my phone it automatically led it to be TMK, which I now realize it should be since I'm on MetroPCS. Huge difference in signal as well, I'm now getting 3-4 bars whereas on the ATT firmware I was getting only 1 bar.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
I know what a false positive is. I also know that many previously legitimate Windows programs and Android apps have been modified recently to deliver malware. Considering that tens of millions of computers are infected with trojans and other malware the number of people on XDA who use SamFirm doesn't impress me as proof that the current version is safe.

If you are using the security program built into Windows 10 it's impossible to even install SamFirm unless you turn all of the security protections off first.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mopartonyg:
I have a fully updated Windows 10 pc using the windows security suite and have samfirm installed and use it all the time. Not sure what your problems are with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
1. You should always be able to pull U1 firmware using XAA as the Region. So I'm thinking you either had a typo somewhere, or didn't have Auto checked, or .. idk.

2. Remember that signal bars can be manipulated from firmware to firmware, and are not a true accurate representation. If you look at your actual dBm in Settings, it should be identical (or very close) to what you were getting before
