Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
No idea. You'll just have to try it and see
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] latino26:
Help please

I have to every different way to do this and it won't flash it keeps saying failed what am I doing wrong I'm on att Galaxy fold
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] latino26:
Help please

What csc did you use
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] latino26:
Help please

Yes I need help been trying all day to do it on my art Galaxy fold and keep getting fail on odin
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] charlie.s:
I'd like to confirm that I successfully updated my carrier-unlocked AT&T (SM-F900U) to the U1 (unbranded) `using firmware F900UE1UES2ASL1_F900U1OYM2ASL1_USC (downloaded using Frija) and ODIN3_v3.13.3_3B_PatcheD.

Please make certain that you can see your Fold using "Fastboot Devices" before proceeding.
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] latino26:
You have to use adb then right
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Only saying "failed" is not much information. We need to know exactly what errors are appearing in Odin and also on the phone's screen, in order to know why it's happening.

Odds are, you can find the solution to your problem somewhere here in the thread
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] charlie.s:
Once the update is complete, all you need to do is to reboot the phone. Fastboot Reboot should do it
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Samsungs don't have a Fastboot mode
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] charlie.s:
I'm sorry, but you are mistaken. Perhaps you know it as download mode. In order to enter it, you can use either the appropriate keys when powering up or issue ADB REBOOT BOOTLOADER to enter it from android.
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
No, YOU are mistaken.

1. Issuing "adb reboot bootloader" will only reboot the phone normally - it won't take you to Download mode. "adb reboot download" is the command for going to Download mode

2. Fastboot commands don't work while in Download mode
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] charlie.s:
Since I precisely described what I did to unbrand the phone, let's just agree to disagree.
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Post a video of fastboot commands working while in Download mode, and I will immediately send you every penny in my savings account.
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] sidheartraja:
HI, does flashing the U1 ROM not override the carrier SIM lock? I have been unable to get my phone unlocked from either AT&T or 3rd party internet unlock companies... :(
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] charlie.s:
Flashing a new rom has no effect on carrier lock.
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
No, it does not override it. Carrier lock status is contained in the EFS partition, which is never touched by firmware flashing.

I can provide a recommendation for a 3rd party solution if you're interested
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] skinnytoo2:
OP, I want to confirm. If I buy a SIM unlocked AT&T fold I can flash to U1 and use VZW. Then do you know if I can use VZW VoLTE and Wifi calling?

TIA!
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] Ishman:
I purchased an unlocked ATT phone, flashed to U1 to get rid of ATT crap and use Verizon. All works perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] sidheartraja:
Thank you for confirming! I'll flash to U1 just to get rid of the ATT crap, but would love to learn of the 3rd party solution to unlock...

I really could use some help so ok just got my fold back from Samsung and they rest it so i try to use Odin to get the bloat off i keep getting fail sha256 and when i try a different Odin it says something like binary 1 fail please help

I keep getting sw rev check fail: [abl]fused 2> binary 1 how do i fix the can fix this really could use some help just got my phone back from Samsung and have to redo everything all over
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
You're trying to flash bootloader 1 firmware when your device has bootloader 2. You need bootloader 2 firmware
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] margo420:
Do you know where i can find the boot loader 2 firmware ? I would really appreciate it
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
That has already been stated many times throughout the thread, as well as in the OP
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] margo420:
Ok thanks ill keep looking
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] margo420:
Ok so i flash the sk1-2 folder is that the right on for boot loader 2 and the last time i did this to my fold I thought u1 was the one I needed to debloat and remove the att boot up screen i keep reading the thread i think i just really confused myself smh any help I appreciate it

So it just booted up the same with all the at&t stuff I don’t know what to do I’ve been at this for two days i just went from dec patch with dex to nov no dex and still no u1 or debloat

I take it I’m on boot loader 2 i guess since i used the sk1-2 foler but that said you so how do i get to u1?
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] skinnytoo2:
Yes, same here. But don't have Android 10/One UI 2.0.
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclear:
I haven't been around for a long time. I got the F900U ATT, unlocked it but want updates. So I downloaded F900U1_SHA_1 but there is one file which I don't know what to do with, HOME_CSC_OMC_OYM_F900U1OYM1ASHA_CL16598363_QB25668540_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar??

There are 4 previous files that i filled in and left USERDATA blank.

I'm basically trying to get my phone to a FW which gets updates and doesn't have any bloatware. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] margo420:
Fixxed it good ole sammobile to the rescue
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclear:
What do you mean? Anyways I flashed it without anything in the userdata. So far so good. Got all updates till jan 2020 security patch and no more bloatware. But still I have questions about that last file!!! What is that for? HOME_CSC_OMC_OYM_F900U1OYM1ASHA_CL16598363_QB25668540_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar???

Thanks OP.
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] EmilyJLV:
OTA works?

Are you able to get OTA updates after doing so? I have the same AT&T carrier unlocked and want to be able to get updates, but seems like this post has conflicting info.
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclear:
I have the same phone and did the same thing. OTA updates are coming in. So far on the jan2020 security update.
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
HOME CSC does not perform a factory reset, when flashing. Using the other CSC does perform a reset

Help

It has been a very long time since I have used ODIN to flash a phone. I tried to search the forums for a guide, but the only guide I found was from like 2012 which is probably about the last time I did it too. Is there anything more current? Any help and instructions would be GREATLY appreciated!

I was able to find the firmware with Frija and the version of ODIN you mentioned. I started ODIN and the first thing it says is that I need to delete my Google account (Samsung account) before starting...????

Thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclear:
Its pretty much the same as back then in 2012. Links are on first page. I'm on the same boat as you, haven't flashed Odin since over 5 years.
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] EmilyJLV:
Thank you so much for responding, but literally NONE of the steps in this link match anything I can find on my phone or in the app on the computer. I really don't know where to start.

Also, when I opened ODIN, the first thing that popped up is a message saying I need to delete my Google account (Samsung account)....what in the world?!?!? I am not sure what that is even supposed to mean or what if anything I need to do.

Sorry to sound like such a noob, but I am lost!

---------- Post added at 05:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 AM ----------

Plus, I spent the last 2 hours trying to download from frija and it got all the way to the end and said checking CSC and then just went to 0 KB and did nothing. Went to look for the file and it is gone :(

I was able to download .zip file for SHA1 which I guess should be fine as long as OTA works once done, but I am a little scared to try this without any usable instructions.
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclear:
Download ODIN 3.13 and U1 SHA. Fill in all the spots except for user and flash. That's all I did and it worked fine. I didn't do any CRC check.
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] EmilyJLV:
Figured out how to get it in download mode. Selected the files and nothing in userdata. Hit start and it just says Fail. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclear:
Try a different version of ODIN. 3.13B or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] EmilyJLV:
I am using the 3.13.3_3B_PatcheD

---------- Post added at 07:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 AM ----------

Do I have to factory reset first? Any options I need to select in ODIN?
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] EmilyJLV:
Ok, I don't know what the problem is. I turned on USB debugging in Developer Options. I installed adb just to confirm it is able to see the device. I put it in download mode. ODIN shows it Added. I put in the 4 files, did not change anything under options (so Re-Partition is NOT checked). I keep getting the attached error. If I try it a second time after this failure, it seems like it skips the re-partition part and just fails the write. Someone please help!!
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
What firmware version does your device currently have, and what version are you trying to flash?
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] EmilyJLV:
It has the original stock AT&T firmware (phone is unlocked - no updates) SM-F900U. I am trying to flash the unbranded firmware U1. I get the same results with either the latest one downloaded from frija or the SHA1 I downloaded with the links on the first page of this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I need to know the specific version that it has right now
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] EmilyJLV:
See attached
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Boot the phone into Download mode manually, so that all the colored text appears in the upper left corner. Then when you flash, if any error messages appear in red on the phone's screen, post them here
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] EmilyJLV:
That is what I did when I got the ODIN error that I posted. Nothing appears on the phone. It just stays on the downloading screen.

Are you saying just get to the menu of text on the phone and don't choose the bootloader option?
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] y2jdmbfan:
Any chance you have gotten the new AT&T update that was just released in the last few days? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
If you don't get an error on the Odin screen, then it's a USB issue. You need to try again with a different version of Odin, a different USB cable, a different port on the PC, or a different PC

1. Don't quote the OP when you reply

2. I don't know what update you're talking about. At this moment, AT&T's support page shows that SK2 is the latest release - and that's the latest release that I have access to files for
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] y2jdmbfan:
1. I apologize. I appreciate your efforts here, did not mean to piss you offf or insult you.

2. I got pushed a F900USQUATA2 update with January 1, 2020 on my AT&T branded fold 3 days ago. Also, do you have the files for the SK2 release? The ones linked install SK1.

Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
1. Not pissed or insulted. It's just standard XDA expectation, because doing so creates a lot of unnecessary scrolling for others reading the thread

2. AT&T must be way behind on their updating then. Usually they get the pages updated right away when a new OTA starts going out.

3. I don't have the SK2 files on hand, but I can get them, if you're looking to roll back from TA2
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] y2jdmbfan:
Can you get the SK2 files if it isn't much trouble? I want to update a second Unlocked F900U1 fold that I converted to AT&T branded to the latest F900U possible, as the OTA updates don't work when you flash F900U software on F900U1.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] EmilyJLV:
The error is in Odin as shown in the image I attached with my previous post. It doesn't show any errors on the phone itself. I have tried 3 different cables and several different USB ports including USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports. I really don't see how it is a USB issue when I can successfully execute adb commands and Odin recognizes the device. It just seems not to want to write anything :(

I don't know what else to try...
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:

Recent Samsung devices are VERY picky about the types of environments in which they'll accept a firmware flash. It doesn't matter if ADB works fine - firmware flashing is a whole different ballgame. Try using a different computer and see if you have any luck
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] y2jdmbfan:
Thanks! I think TA2 is floating around out there now. I saw it posted at easy-firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
My site used to add new files every day or every other day, like clockwork. Now it seems like they do mass uploads once per week :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] EmilyJLV:
Same result on another computer - one Windows 10 and one Windows 7. Fails instantly with "Re-Partition operation failed"

---------- Post added at 04:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 AM ----------

Although, I do see something on the phone screen now - maybe I just missed it before, but it says "MDM Mode. Can't Download (PIT)"
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
MDM Mode means that it's set up as a corporate device by some company and as such, will not accept an Odin flash
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] y2jdmbfan:
Any chance your source has TA4 for F900U available yet? The version on easy-firmware only has CSC and no HOME CSC.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I never get access to that either. I have to build the HOME CSC manually, by decompiling the regular CSC and extracting the part that does the factory reset, and then re-compile it.

But assuming that you're looking to avoid having to do a factory reset, simply doing that isn't enough anyways. The same thing would need to be done with the AP file in order to remove the userdata partition, because that will also trigger a factory reset if flashed
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] kkiran:
With your special skills, can you enable SIM Manager application for eSIM support on the F900U/U1 firmwares? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Nope. But I've never heard of that model having an eSIM anyways

[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] benharsen:
Hi there. This thread has been very helpful.

I have an AT&T Fold that was stuck on a September update -- it wouldn't let me install many apps (like Netflix, Disney Plus, etc.)

I flashed a U1 - that was easy. It's currently on F900U1UES3ATA1

However - I've lost access to their "5GE" network. It says LTE, but I think it's on HSPA+. I went from 30-40mbp/s to 3-4mbp/s. I also lost their AT&T RCS ... or whatever less than RCS fix it was.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

My question - is there anyway that I can get those 2 things back? I can't seem to find a F900U firmware at all, at least not the current one (F900USQS3ATA4) edit I see F900u firmware in OP. If I flash the February version .... will I get proper speeds back?
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike02z:
Worked perfectly for me once I got Odin to see my phone. I flashed the XAA U1 firmware on my carrier unlocked AT&T sold Fold. Works great on VZW.
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
1. Devices don't need to have the absolute latest software version in order to run streaming apps like those. Those apps would install perfectly fine even on old devices with Android 6 or 7 etc. So whatever the issue was, it had nothing to do with the device running a September software version.

2. If it says LTE, then it's on LTE. If it were on HSPA+, it would say H+ up in the status bar. I would recommend inserting a different carrier's SIM (not AT&T or any of their MVNOs), watching for the carrier change pop, and do the restart when prompted. Then after the restart, put the AT&T SIM back in and repeat the process. That should refresh the optimization that the device does for AT&T's network.

3. No, you cannot flash any U firmware at this time because the bootloader 3 files (TA4) haven't been released yet. So now that you've flashed the bootloader 3 U1 firmware, you're stuck on it until the bootloader 3 U firmware files are released

Sweet!
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] kkiran:
I just purchased an AT&T Galaxy Fold F900U that is unlocked. T-Mobile works but I want to get rid of AT&T apps.

Is there any way I can switch to the unlocked firmware instead of AT&T's or is my bootloader too new already?
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
You're trying to downgrade the bootloader, which is a no-no. As stated in the OP, if you're new to manually flashing Samsung firmware, I recommend you consult one or more of the "beginner's guide to Odin flashing"-type posts/threads - there are tons of them here on XDA. Being able to identify the bootloader version of a given Build is essential when it comes to this
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] kkiran:
My updated reply didn't post on time. I used Frija tool and retrieved the latest firmware and flashed without issues. Please update your initial post with links to the latest U1 firmware so people without much Android experience don't have to spend a lot of time researching. Thanks for your post nonetheless, I am all set!
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
The initial post very clearly explains the reason why I don't have links to the latest U1 firmware, and also tells users exactly where they can find the latest firmware if they want it.
