I bought a carrier unlocked S10+ and installed the firmware from this thread. It looks like it went well. It says it is a U1 and no carrier bloat is to be found. However, when I check for updates it doesn't find any. Is that right? Was there a November patch update for U1? I am not looking to do the beta, just get OTAs from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] x017in:
What version are you on? Also did u install the complete package.. ie csc etc..
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] PeteyNice:
I installed the four files, CSC not CSC HOME.

One UI 1..1, Android 9, Patch Level: October 1, 2019.

Build Number: PPR1.180610.011.G975U1UES2BSIE
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] x017in:
Ok. Then u shud ideally get the nov version
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jim262:
The only way you will receive any OTAs or updates from Samsung is if you are registered with the beta program. While these beta updates on the XDA are the official updates, this does not register you in the beta program.. To resume receiving updates from Samsung you will need to flash official non-beta firmware from Samsung, which is still currently on 9.0.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MadCabbit:
I just got prompted to install an update for G975U1 unlocked. Version G975U1UES2BSKA, OneUI 1.1/Android 9. December 1, 2019 security update. I wasn't expecting it that fast. Maybe Samsung is finally making up for how much they lagged on U1 unlocked updates before? It felt like it took forever for the first version 2 bootloader update.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] PeteyNice:
I did some poking around and see that my Vendor Software Version is XAR/XAR/CCT. The last one makes sense as it was originally on Xfinity Mobile. However, I am using Red Pocket and not C-Spire. Is there a way I can force XAA?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Nope. Your SIM determines what code gets applied. XAA is what shows as default on U1 firmware, before any SIM is inserted. But there's no purpose for changing it anyways - even if the codes showed XAA, the phone would function and look exactly the same as it does now
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] PeteyNice:
I was under the impression that you won't get OTAs unless everything matches. So, U1 needs to be XAA or have a sim card that matches a carrier with its own CSC.

If the XAR/XAA discrepancy doesn't matter, why am I not getting the November patch release?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
No idea. Could be a case of it simply not being pushed to your device yet
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] skygear:
Out of curiosity,. ,.. I bought an Unlocked SM-N975U1 directly from Samsung USA website. Forgot to look at the CSC before I started the Android 10 quest and flashed XAA to J8 so I could do the firmware.science OTA's since the beta is temporary closed for Beta 2. (Rumored back open temporary for Beta 3 soon)

What is the Stock Product Code for these?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Not sure what you mean. CSCs are universal on U models
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] skygear:
I meant Product code ??*♂️?*☠️???

XAA, TMB, SPR, etc...

EDITEDD AGAIN....

Ok, its on the box.... SM-N975UZKEXAA
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Dart_Z28:
Where is next!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Yeah but the product code is determined by the SIM that's inserted. As stated, the CSC is universal for each device and build. It's not like each carrier has its own CSC
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] skygear:
Partially correct. the CSC file for the same firmware should be the same. But the Product code, XAA in my case - TMB in others, would dictate the bloatware/ specific carrier customizations. Yes. Each Carrier does have their own Product code though. SPR, TMB, VZW, and so on.

In my case, I was in a rush to get the device upend running the restore so I could carry on with other tasks and didn't bother looking over the device first. Later I found the box and realized I was XAA for the product code.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Well that's why one is called CSC and one is called Product Code. They're not the same thing, which is why they don't have the same name
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] skygear:
correct and that was my mistake
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] syde1020:
I'm guessing I've done something wrong.. I have a T-Mobile s10+ that I flashed the U1 software on. But i do not get OTAs. Shouldn't the service provider codes be XAR/XAR/TMB instead of TMB/TMB/TMB if I did everything correctly?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Assuming you mean XAA instead of XAR, no, not necessarily
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] syde1020:
yeah thats what i mean. I'm not getting OTA's and cant figure out why. Im still on the October update. Not trying to get Android 10, i just wanted to get rid of that ugly pink boot screen and boot sound. But i would like to get OTAs from samsung though.

Any idea what i could do to get the OTA's to show up???
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] syde1020:
Crap!!! i decided to just go back to the Tmobile Firmware but its failing when flashing... uhhhhh im getting nervous. :(

stuck on a error screen that says an error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency reovery function in the Smart Switch PC Software now.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jwarrior319:
Are you using patched odin 3B? With where your at you'll need to boot into recovery and do a factory reset. After that use odin 3B to flash latest firmware for U/U1.

Sometimes when switching U to U1 you need to factory reset to finish removing bloat. There will still be some carrier stuff but just the bare minimum needed to work with the network. The reason you were still seeing TMB/TMB/TMB is probably because you didn't do a reset. In your case it would be TMB/XAA/TMB

The first one is the original product code, the second is current product code, and third is CSC for current sim.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] syde1020:
I did a factory reset before flashing, no idea why it didnt work properly. Finally got the original Tmobile firmware to flash correctly.It was working fine, but i wasnt getting OTA's. Maybe it will work fine now that the original firmware is back on the phone. I just hate that stupid pink boot screen and sound.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] syde1020:
seems like no matter how i flash it, its till showing tmb tmb tmb and will not find a ota.. I did a factory reset then installed the U1 firmware and it didnt work. so then I am did a factory reset, booting straight to recovery after the reset and doing another reset. from recovery booting to bootloader download mode and flashing the U1 firmware. still isnt working right. It just will not detect any OTA updates. Its october the newest for U1 builds??
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jwarrior319:
If you flash BSKA U1 firmware which is the last (and newest) one released for T-Mobile you should receive OTA updates when the next one comes out.

Even though its U1 and OTA's come directly from Samsung it still needs to be TMobile approved first. I would use the TMobile specific one even though they're all the same just in case.

Also try regular CSC not Home_CSC so it applies all the correct carrier settings

If that still dosent work re-flash the same firmware again using latest official odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] syde1020:
Thanks for trying to help. I flashed the BSKA u1 firmware update after a full wipe and now when i click on check for updates it says device cannot be registered. Still shows TMB/TMB/TMB though so i have no idea whats going on.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jwarrior319:
At this point it would be worth trying the emergency option in art switch. That will make sure partition information and everything is correct as well as reinstall the latest firmware.

One more thing before that you could try if you really want to is use diskdigger to write a blank file to the empty storage space to make sure there isn't a bad bit set somewhere. Although emergency recovery would solve that anyway. I had the same issues as you on my S8 but i cant remember what i ended up doing that fixed it.

How about flashing this file in full. https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g...SM-G975U1/XAA/download/G975U1UES2BSKA/304823/

XAA - G975U1UES2BSKA

Are you using frija to get your files?

On problematic devices, I like to

factory reset.

Go through the setup with a sim in the phone

then restart in Download mode and flash the ODIN files using CSC not HOME

Flash all the same files from the folder. BL, AP, CSC, CP

I do this leaving the SIM in

Normally this is all that is needed.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] edwarddlr:
hello how to go to recovery mode and what to select
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] OregonInfidel:
To get into recovery mode you have to:

Hold Bixby and Vol Up and Power till you see the samsung boot screen then release ONLY power. Continue holding vol up and the Bixby button until you see the recovery screen.

As to what to select, you'll have to download what ever file you're trying to flash, rename it to Update.zip and move it to the root of your SD card. When you are in Recovery mode use the volume up and down buttons to go up or down and navigate to apply update via SD (use the power button to select after highlighting it with the Vol buttons) once you select apply via SD, the first option you'll see is the Update.zip, select that and wait for it to flash and reboot

You dont have to, but a factory reset would be the only way to completely remove carrier bloat.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MadCabbit:
Interesting. Going from the URL, Samsung keeps track of the carrier updates. I got an update prompt this morning (Unlocked XAA flashed to Xfinity CCT), thought it was just the December security update finally, until I saw OneUI 2. Update is on samfirm, and changing that URL shows the update details on Samsung's site: https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-G975U/CCT/doc.html

After seeing reports of the update going live all over, I decided to check the extent of it.

My experience from Xfinity updates, seeing as they're on the Verizon network is that they're probably based on Verizon updates and usually lag behind. For some reason, I can't find any info on Samsung's site about Verizon, and I also can't find it in samfirm either with SM-G975U and VZW. I even tried SM-G975V. Didn't it use to work? Verizon shows the update on their site, though: https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-s10-plus-update/

I'm getting the impression that if you can find firmware on samfirm, there should be info on Samsung's site matching the Model/Region.

In any event, Samsung shows the update for Tmobile/TMB and Sprint/SPR and they are both on Samfirm. AT&T was the first major carrier to go dark on Samfirm, their site still shows only the November update. US Cellular still hasn't updated. Are there any other MVNOs aside from Xfinity that have it yet? I know a lot of them don't have a very good track record with updates.

Does the Carrier Relock from Chimera, keep on G975U from TMobile if switch to U1?

Does the Carrier Relock from Chimera, keep on G975U from TMobile if switch to U1?

This SIM "Unlock" or "Relock" method works on firmwares before TMobile november security patch update. And, allows you to use the phone with other 64 companies; but if you install the BSIV firmware, it loses the relock.

I want to try if installing the G975U1UES2BSIE unlocked firmware, and doing the OTA updates, when it gots the november or newer OTA updates, and even Android 10, will it lose the relock config, running the Unlocked U1 firmware?

Or does this unlocked U1 firmware keep untouched that system zone, where the relock config is written?

I fixed my G975U from TMobile, when i lost the relock config after installed the NOvember update, installing the previous october update, BIT 2, and the relock returned and worked again.

Am I at risk of not being able to install the October TMobile stock version again? :confused:

You can install any of the Android 10 roms available there. It will set up properly on your phone by the SIM card you have in it.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] OregonInfidel:
I know this. I was asking for the Android 10 update for the U1 because it's not on Firmware.Science or Frija and I'm not an actual beta tester so I dont think I'm getting the OTA. And before you say it again I know I can flash any U version. I dont want the U version because I dont want or need the carrier bs.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
Android 10 for U1 hasn't been released yet. Usually about a month after all US carriers release. Probably some time in January.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] OregonInfidel:
Go figure, buy the version without all the crap on it, thinking we'd get updates sooner than the carriers and yet we're the last ones.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jwarrior319:
It actually used to work that way at one point. But, now that all the carriers use the same exact device as the unlocked model( just different firmware) they feel the need to wait for all carriers to approve of it first. Google already solved the vendor software issue starting with pie( via project treble) by using a separate partition. Samsung just like to be a$$holes and refuse to adjust.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wacky2bakky:
Unfortunately don't know. U1 is always a while after carriers drop updates
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
This has been an issue since the S9 series, and I believe before that if I remember correctly when I first got my 9+. It's why I just run the U vs the U1.

If you don't care about tethering without a plan, just run U and disable or uninstall the bloat. Problem solved.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] OregonInfidel:
But there lies the problem, I love that little work around lol my ISP is CenturyLink and they're utter **** for speed. Gaming wise I lag all over the place hardwired or wireless so I tether my One X to my phone and have no issue.

On a side note I am still trying to figure out why it tells me my location is up in Seattle from IP and location until I turn GPS on then it gets the right location. I'm in the Portland metro area about 4 hours from seattle. Its said this since I got my preorder in the mail

Flashing unbranded firmware

Sorry if this has already been asked (I'm sure it has...) but after reading countless pages I couldnt find an answer, so I figured I'd just post here and hope for the best...

- I am on an original verizon unlimited plan

- I currently use an unlocked s8 I purchased from samsung to tether with no issues

- I'd like to buy a used s10, but it seems like everyone is selling a carrier varient...

My question: am I am to flash an unlocked s10 phone from verizon/att/tmobile/sprint to the samsung unlocked firmware and essentially totally have an identical device to the "samsung unlocked u1" variant? Will it still get OTA's and such? I dont care about clearing user date or any of that as it will be a new-to-me phone... I just want to know if can buy a carrier s10 and flash it to work identically as my samsung s8.

Also, if anyone has any tips for avoiding buying a scam phone (one that hasn't been paid off with the carrier or one that is an insurance claim or anything like that) I'm all ears. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
You can flash the U1 to any carrier branded device and you will still get Ota updates. Make sure to use the patched Odin.

Just make sure it's actually sim unlocked if your buying one that isn't from Verizon. Just flashing U1 won't unlock the sim if it's locked.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Only way to avoid buying a scam phone is to buy it yourself brand new directly from the carrier, retailer, or manufacturer. Any and every time that you buy from any other source, you take the risk of getting screwed. People get screwed all the time even on eBay, because the phone got blacklisted after the Buyer Guarantee timeframe had already expired. Bottom line: buy a used device and you assume all liability and responsibility

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jwarrior319:
Unless samfirm and frija dont work on their pc. Odin for example works on windows xp, and neither program is guaranteed to work on that version of windows. Yes, that may only be a handful of people but not everyone can afford something more expensive. Just because they have an expensive phone dosent mean they have a comparable pc. Its easier to get a phone on an installment plan than a pc in most countries. You just gotta think of the bigger picture.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Odin works on anything - XP and up. Pretty sure SamFirm and Frija are the exact same. Have you seen anyone post that they couldn't get SamFirm or Frija to work because their Windows was out of date?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jwarrior319:
I know from personal experience. Both require a c++ library pack that isnt downloadable from Microsoft for XP anymore. It can be found elsewhere but usually include viruses. So if you have a machine you dont care about then i guess it dont matter. But its still a security issue, and you probably wouldn't want it connected to the internet. Which would make the program useless.
