Paid websites, sure. But yes, you'll get OTAs. So you can simply flash what's linked in the OP, and OTA to whatever the latest version is

How do you unlock the sprint s10 5g to use in another carrier when it is leased?

I have a sprint s10 5g 977p that I defaulted on my lease because sprint screwed me and now I'm trying to use this phone ANYWHERE else but sprint has taken over the phone it is flashing this is a sprint leased phone" and wont connect to internet or anything. Please help me get this going!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] Altair571:
First of all this could be a stolen phone so you likely to get no help. Also even if you are telling is the truth, the phone should have been returned as you defaulted on your lease. Btw if you don't return the phone, its probably going to get blacklisted by all of the carriers which means the phone will be useless.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] cheapshot789:
Did you ever flash to t mobile I know some one said that you can't because different model number but how can at&t be flashed on Verizon. I getting Verizon one in a couple days I'm going to try it. Also I don't know how all other Samsung s10 note 10 can be flashed but not this one I don't think its correct
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] gastondefer:
AT&T and Verizon have the same model number, therefore crossflash is possible between the two. Tmobile and Sprint each has their own model number, therefore you won't be able to flash anything other than their own stock firmware

All US 4G S10 models have the same model number G975U, that's why you're able to flash any U or U1. Same can be said for the Note 10 and Note 10+ 4G models
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] cheapshot789:
Ok got so there is no way then for tmobile
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
You didn't read the OP at all, did you...?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] cheapshot789:
I didn't go through the entire post no but I did, thanks OP patrol for your contribution

SI8 is now available via SamFirm and Frija for the G977T. This does increment to bootloader 2, so proceed accordingly
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] voden07:
Is there a reason to avoid updating the bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
You can't go back to older firmwares, once it's updated. So if there's a bug or glitch in the new version, you're stuck on that version until a fix is implemented. Or if they changed something and you don't like the new way of doing things, you can't go back to the way it was before
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] voden07:
No new firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
For which model?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] voden07:
S10 5G ATT, wanted to sign up for the beta, but I couldnt,

Heard the ToF front camera now used 3d scan to unlock the phone...that's cool, I want In!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
The latest/newest version for the AT&T model is SI1. You can OTA to that if you're already on AT&T firmware. SH1 is the latest version that you can download from the OP.

FYI for everyone else: the Verizon and Sprint versions have been updated to bootloader 3, build SJK. The new Verizon version can be grabbed from SamFirm and/or Frija by using manual entry:

PDA: G977UVRS3ASJK

CSC: G977UVZW3ASJK

Phone: G977UVRS3YSJK
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] voden07:
I have unlocked ATT, would it work? Or can you point me where to download OTA to flash. I'd be grateful
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
This thread is only about full Odin firmware. If you want a link to OTA zip files, you'll need to look elsewhere

New firmware

New firmware for ATT S10 5G, have you gotten it available for download yet? I'm trying to do a conversion of my Verizon which is on bootloader 3 as well. The new firmware version is: G977UUCU3ASJM
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I post it when I get it
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] sd_N:
Hmmm hmm

Still nothing yet?? Dang it. I've noticed most of the firmware sites are only posting the Verizon firmwares anyways... you have the market cornered for ATT. I guess I'll ask if you can provide where i can get the firmware from? I'd pay for it if they have the newest.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
No sense in you paying for it because I'll post the files as soon as they're made available on the website that I use, like I always do. I always post new bootloader versions (at minimum) as soon as I get access. If I haven't posted something, it means I don't have access to it yet. I'm guessing they'll drop next week
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] sd_N:
alright...

Alright, yeah, I seen on EasyFirmware.com that they have it, but 17 bucks for a download I'll use one time is crazy. I do appreciate you posting. I'll send ya a couple bucks. Thanks...

Does this wipe the device? OP has a special firmware that doesn't wipe, OP would it work with this?

I meant the nodded userdata file
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
USERDATA isn't modded - AP is. Any time that you flash USERDATA, it'll wipe. If you want to avoid a wipe, flash the no_wipe AP, long with the other base files from the main firmware zip
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] voden07:
Correct me if I'm wrong, you mean we should replace this AP with your SH1 no wipe AP?

The sizes are very different, I'm confused.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] voden07:
Hi again, I just downloaded the v3 ATT bootloader update, should I go ahead and flash all files? I dont want to erase anything. Thanks

Hi, what I mean is; your mided AP file size is quite different from the one in the link the other guy provided, won't I miss some features if I go ahead and flash your AP?

So you're basically stealing a phone you didn't pay for then trying to find someone to help you unlock it which is in and of itself illegal in the US?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
Can someone with a unlocked rooted g977u please PM me
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
fyi when bl is unlocked you should be able to flash csc from the other variants no problem.. at least this is how alot of exy and chinese users do it..

an unlocked bl should allow it to boot.. you could probably also use a twrp from one of the closer devices that has it already also..

its a process last i checked.. u basically need twrp then you can use magisk but also need to disable a number of security features which they also have flashable zips that can do it for you..

if u dont disable say vbmeta and verity etc etc then device wont boot
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Modded AP has the USERDATA file removed, since that's what causes the wipe. If you're already on AT&T firmware, then it'll be fine if you flash it.

Well that's not likely to happen, since you have to have an engineer token flashed. But I can PM you if I get any more devices like that sent to me from my business customers
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
so you can unlock the boitloader but cant flash custom binaries? if thats the case then its not actually unlocked lol
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
No, that's not what I said.....

I said you're not likely to find anyone with an unlocked model, since the bootloader isn't user-unlockable. The only way is if you can find someone that has an engineering token flashed, to allow it to be unlockable. And those are very rare and hard to find.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
thats not true. i personally oem unlocked a g977p when it first came out and you had someone post screenshots in here of an unlocked device.. its very easy.. you toggle it on then boot to odin and long press vol up to unlock the BL
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I'm aware of that.

But you didn't ask for someone with a G977P. You asked for someone with a G977U
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
yes, because people in this very thread said its also unlockable and I use verizon
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Those people are wrong. The G977U is not user-unlockable
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I can't verify it. But your data getting wiped isn't my problem or responsibility anyways - if you're gonna go around flashing firmware, you should expect a wipe, and be prepared for it. There are plenty of ways to backup and restore phone data these days - there's really no excuse for not doing it
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] voden07:
Did you download the new firmware? Can you guide me on how to remove user data, as you did on your modded AP?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Extract the file and repack it with everything except the userdata.img
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] voden07:
What software should I use for this procedure?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Any software that you want, which is capable of unpacking a .tar file
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] voden07:
Ok, thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] voden07:
Hi again, I've unpacked and deleted the userdata.img repacked and added .md5 extension with an md5 packager

But whenever I try to flash, Odin just closes, yes I'm using the patched Odin

Your thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Don't md5 it. Leave it as a tar
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] voden07:
I use 7zip to make the .tar file, but it always ends up looking like a zipped archive, but if I md5 it, it looks normal, but doing just closes when I try to flash.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I only use 7zip for extracting, not packing .tars. I use Cygwin for making .tars
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] voden07:
Hi, I have tried, but couldn't do this with cygwin, I've installed it though, if it's not much trouble, could you maybe give me a step by step tutorial? Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
tar -H ustar -c (partition1.extension) (partition2.extenstion (etc) (etc) > AP.tar

That's the command you can use, substituting all of the correct individual partitions
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] voden07:
what is -H? how do i point it to the folder where i have the extracted tar files?

(etc) (etc) is this a command ?

this is proving to be a headache!

The extracted tar files are in a folder in my C drive, i just need a command to converted all the files in that folder to a single .tar file.

thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
That IS the command. The files need to be in the same folder as the Cygwin files
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] voden07:
Its been some time my friend, but i have tried this method and yet i cannot get it to work

could you recheck the command?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
All I did was copy and paste it. It's the same command that I use every single time that I create a tar file, which is usually at least once per day
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] voden07:
tar -H ustar -c (partition1.extension) (partition2.extenstion (etc) (etc) > AP.tar

this command is my problem

-H? whats this?

(partition1.extension) where is this?

(partition2.extension (etc) (etc) whee and what are these?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
The parentheses are placeholders. You need to substitute all of the other partitions that make up the AP file, skipping userdata.img
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] voden07:

[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
You can't have both system.img and system.img.ext4.lz4 in the same file. There can only be 1 system file, just like there is only 1 file for all of the partitions. So you need to use the correct extension
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] voden07:
most, if not all the files have the .lz4 extension, theres also a folder meta-data, this is just so confusing
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Well for someone who is brand new to it, of course it's confusing. I do all of this type of stuff as my job, so it's easy for me. I can't really teach you how to do it via XDA though - it's too complicated and time-consuming.

Hi, i wanted clarity on this: samsung has started rolling out updates for unlocked s10 phones,

with the one UI 2 update, what i'd like to know, i use an unlocked s10 5g, not international, will i get this updates?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] Alpha Geek:
No, not If you have flashed the ATT image and you are still on VZW network. A very small part of the VZW bloatware is what allows the monthly updates to occur on each provider's network. Also, there isn't an "international version" of the 5G flavors of the S10s so you are stuck with ATT or VZW flavors for now.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] voden07:
Thanks for your response, I'm not in the USA, yes I flashed the ATT firmware, does this mean I'm stuck? Only way is to flash manually?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] SyCoREAPER:
Someone on Samsung Mobile Site said they were able to get their VZW S10 5G onto TMobile using ATT firmware? Does that make sense?

Here's the Link

I am getting the same false locked message and am trying to activate on Fi/Tmobile

I am on Dec Patch. Not worried about the personal data on my phone. Can someone guide me on what to do here?

EDIT

[MENTION=3163377]iBowToAndroid[/MENTION] can you please help me understand your folder structure, because I clearly misunderstood it and am stuck.

I kinda got it working? It installed the ATT Firmware but is 9.0 now? Couldn't have made it at least this far without you.

Also I can finally make calls but they drop after a few rings. Got calls working. So far only thing not working is RCS Got RCS Working

Can someone help me get to Android 10 WITHOUT losing data? Or have I completely misunderstood and only Android 9 is available? I saw someone mention they purchased the firmware files? If this is needed for us to get Android 10, I will gladly give back to the community and purchase them (if they are available)

Sidenote; Dear lord does ATT have a lot of bloat and can't be removed?! AHH
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
1. I don't have access to 10.0 files yet. You can OTA from where you're at, but you'll probably need to insert an active AT&T SIM in order to do it. And even then, it might not work since the IMEI and S/N aren't from an AT&T device.

2. Yes, AT&T has a lot of bloat.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] SyCoREAPER:
Thank you for the response. Like I said, if they show up on some pay site let me know and I'll chip in to the best I can to get them here.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] SyCoREAPER:
I guess it's not working as well as I thought. Can't make or receive calls all the sudden but data and SMS work fine.

Edit: now it's working again. Guess I will need to keep an eye on this the next few days.

Edit 2: Well this is crappy. I can have 4G and voice calls or 4G LTE and no voicecalls. (Even with Call over LTE disabled)

Edit 3: I guess I am stuck on ATT firmware now?

Edit 4: I have gotten calls to place while on 4G LTE via a setting i found hidden but can't find again to document here. What it does now, when placing a call it drops from 4G LTE to 4G and the call goes through. After you hang up, it goes back to 4G LTE Was a fluke, worked a few times and stopped
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:

For now I'm going to stay with ATT since I found a work around for the no calls issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Well if you try to flash bootloader 1 firmware , then yes of course it's going to say that. If you flash bootloader 3 firmware , then you won't have that issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] SyCoREAPER:
Unless I misunderstood, you said your VZW firmware was/is bootloader 3 since November? I know the ATT is 3 for sure but I think your VZW isnt.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
No, i didn't say that MY firmware was bootloader 3. I said that both models got bootloader 3 back in November, so the VZW files have been available via SamFirm and Frija since then. Since anyone can get those files themselves at any time, I only upload builds that I get early access to - before they hit SamFirm and Frija. So last night was the first time I uploaded a VZW Bootloader 3 build
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] SyCoREAPER:
Thanks, I flashed back from ATT to VZW but was still SIM locked on VZW.

Found a Service which I cannot post the name of because it would be advertising (anyone PM me if you're interested) who has SIM unlocked my phone. Was expensive but it worked as advertised and I watched every step of what they did (got a little nervous when they wanted to TeamView) but they ODIN flashed 9.0 and did some remote stuff and I am in business.

Why am I mentioning the above? Because it may help other. And NOW I can flash your Firmware without being SIM locked. So thank you for all your hosting. Next paycheck I would like to donate a little something something. It won't be much but something.

What's your preferred donation method? Donate to me Button?
