Att Note 10 plus phone locked

I have an ATT note 10 plus carrier locked phone. The phone imei doesn't show in ATTs device unlock website yet. I want to use the phone on Verizon. Do I need to first get it Carrier unlocked before flashing the U1 firmware, or flashing the U1 firmware will also carrier unlock it. I am new at this and appreciate the help! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Flashing firmware never SIM unlocks a phone - a SIM unlock goes much deeper than that. I can give you a recommendation for a professional unlocking service if you don't want to wait for AT&T to do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] guyd:
Please. DoctorSIM was unable to find the code for my device. AT&T says I'm not in their system (bought it straight from Samsung).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
Any quick tips for me? I'm about to go home and get my phone opened up! Not sure how to do all this, but I am familiar with using a cracked version of Odin. I keep seeing various instructions on how to do this...

If I want to go to T-mobile firmware, what's the process?

What if I wanted to stay on unlocked firmware? Only difference is a few apps, correct? Not sure there's any pros to this option...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
You literally just plug in the 5 files into the proper location and with your phone in download mode. Ignore the 6th file not named within Odin, called "Home" I believe. I didn't care about keeping my data since I backed up via SmartSwitch, I think there's a way of flashing the TMo firmware and keep your current phones setup, but I didn't care I think others have had issues with this.

Regarding keeping the Unlocked firmware, I believe you'd have to flash the U1 firmware again but don't quote me on that. I don't plan on going back, I'm happy with my Magenta Pride Note10+ lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
The OP talks about flashing one thing, then inserting the SIM, then flashing another thing... Is that what you did or no?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Nope. Literally turned off my phone, put it into download and began the process. I didn't read anything about doing anything with the SIM. Unless you mean doing this straight out of the box? I had the device for 3 days before I did this. I did the Samsung account restore on day one until I got back to my office after labor day weekend to use Odin.

Can anyone confirm OTA updates work after installing att stock firmware on unlocked note 10+?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] thecool07:
I didn't try but I flashed the SH4 firmware and still have had voice wifi calling and adv messaging
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] y2jdmbfan:
Does your device sat ATT/ATT/ATT or something different?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] thecool07:
Mine says ATT/ATT/XAA
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
So just flash the U firmware with the userdata tmb file and be done?

I opened the device, put in the SIM, it forced me to reboot, and now I've downloaded the firmware... I think I'm ready to roll?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] y2jdmbfan:
So I have an unlocked Note 10+ directly from Samsung, SM-N975U1 model number SM-N975UZSAXAA. I was under the impression that I could just flash the AT&T software and would get OTA and everything else just like it was an AT&T version. I downloaded the initial update once I got the phone OTA and then tonight I attempted to flash the AT&T software in this thread. I actually downloaded firmware from SamMobile first and flashed it, but realized it wasn't the AT&T version and had no Userdata file. Right now I am on July Patch and Build ending in ASGO. Wondering how to get the AT&T August update now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] thecool07:
Just download the SH4 TMB firmware using Frija.

Use patched Odin with AP, BL, CP, and Home_CSC (ignore userdata) and it will update you to the latest build without breaking any features or losing data.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
Anyone else gotten this error?

Complete(Write) operation failed.

All threads completed (succeed 0 / failed 1)

I downloaded the right files, attempting to get to U t-mobile firmware... No idea what's wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] thecool07:
What's the error you get??

Are you using patched Odin??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
Yeah, patched Odin.

No idea what the error is beyond what I wrote. That's all it says. Then it stops working... Tried rebooting phone from download mode and now I get this on my phone:

"An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software."

Ugh. What the hell.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] thecool07:
Maybe try download the firmware again but from OP or Frija???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
I got in from Frija! Thought it was safe. :/

I can't even get back into download mode to try again! If I push and hold volume down and power, it does right back to this screen!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] thecool07:
Someone with a different device had the same issue here in this forum give there solution a try.

https://androidforums.com/threads/a...device-software”-screen-on-sm-n950u1.1251688/

Sounds like he still plugged it in with that error and was able to reflash
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
It does let me run Odin while on that screen... That's a nice development, thank you! I'm trying to just rerun it now... Maybe the error was a freak thing? If not, at least I can re-download the files and do Odin again. I'm gonna try a different USB cable next time too, just in case. Ugh this is not how I wanted Day 1 of my new phone to be... :(

Just tried again, as noted before, and it worked perfectly fine... Same files, didn't reload anything... Just simply tried again. Wow.

RELIEF!

I hate the fear of ruining a new phone. It's crippling!

---------- Post added at 07:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 AM ----------

You know something I noticed when I ran Odin to flash my device on my 2017 Surface Pro.

I had my computer unplugged, when odin would finish and auto reboot. It would immediately shut down my PC and the flash would fail. Like it would say it's a success but I was flashing from tmobile to unlocked and when my device would boot up it would still be the tmobile splash screen.

I ended up needing to disable auto reboot. I dont think it happens when my computer is plugged it. Either way it's pretty odd. Dont think my note 9 did that. Maybe a fault in my cable.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Glad you got it running, weird how some people have issues like this while others done. My understanding is its literally impossible to brick or ruin your device with Odin and firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] thecool07:

When I check for updates a box pops up checking for updates and the update logo shows up in the notifications and then will go to current software up to date

Right here https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117943477

Put all odin tar files in skip USER_DATA and in CSC put HOME_CSC instead of CSC, that way you don't lose your data.

Idk why but Odin dont want to flash the verizon U firmware on my unlocked note 10+, it gets stuck on file analysis but when I flashed the u1 firmware it works right away, tried downloading different files, different cable, USB port, etc etc,
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mikespy13:
Make sure debugging on, all U files put in Odin and not mixed with U1(I've dont it before) Also, make sure you are flashing from U1 to U and not U to U. Make sure all firmware is the same
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Restart your PC

ADB isn't used for Odin flashing - it's done over the modem port. So no, you don't need to enable Debugging. Also, U to U can be flashed perfectly fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mikespy13:
sorry thought i was referring to your instructions from your post:

- the correct procedure for switching from one carrier's firmware to another is:

1. Flash full U1 firmware package including non HOME CSC

2. Upon boot, insert a SIM of the carrier whose firmware you want

3. Watch for the popup that says "reboot to apply new carrier settings" etc, and do it

4. After that restart completes, reboot back to Download mode and flash the full U firmware package, with the USERDATA file of the carrier whose firmware you want
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Ohh. I thought that you were saying that U firmware can never be flashed to another device that already has U firmware, which is not correct
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mikespy13:
Nope.. was not referring to that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] NixerMe:
I'm trying to do carrier switching, Sprint to AT&T. After flashing U1 software with non-home csc I get an error message in downloader screen something like /vendor.de permission denied. Then when I reboot I dont get the " "reboot to apply new carrier settings" popup screen but instead still have Sprint OMADM come up and the activation fails. However my AT&T SIM works fine, I'm able to make/receive calls.

I don't think USB debugging needs to be enabled to flash using odin but I tried that too.. no luck. Anyone had similar issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
You'll probably need to post a picture or screenshot of your error, in order for us to know exactly what it is. I'd recommend flashing it all over again and seeing if you get the carrier switch popup
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] NixerMe:
Never mind. User error :D

I was selecting wrong set of files. I was able to get it working by following the instructions. Thanks guys!

I have July 2019 security patch and I can't update the device using software update options under settings. I see that others having the issue as well. I'm downloading the TMO firmware from here https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117943477.

Do I have to always manually download and install patches going forward or will the AT&T OTA work for me after this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kangi26:
You will get the OTA of the network you are currently on (With your active SIM)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
If you can't update, then either you're already on the latest version, or your device hasn't gotten approval for the OTA yet, or you flashed a version that your carrier hasn't gotten yet or will never get

My understanding is that all Verizon devices would be unlocked automatically after 60 days. Verizon recently updated their policy on this. This is applicable to even devices that are purchased outright but through Verizon.

Devices that you purchase from Verizon are locked for 60 days after purchase. Devices that you purchase from our retail partners are locked for 60 days after activation. After 60 days, we will automatically remove the lock. Following the 60 day lock period, we do not lock our phones at any time.

Venom,

Is Samsung using BYOD firmware on the Note 10+ for the carrier models yet? I know for the Note 8 and Note 9 they initially were not, and didn't start BYOD until the next major update. I'm on unlocked firmware on my N975U1 so I can't test to see if they are using BYOD yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Not sure yet will let you know once i find out in Discord.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jcrompton:
I think I understand BYOD to mean bring your own device...... But what do you mean by BYOD firmware?

I have an unlocked Note 10 plus and had to flash AT&t firmware to use my device with all its features
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Thank you

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 PM ----------

Could have just used CSC that is what I did after installing U1 unlocked firmware on my At&t N10+, gave me wifi calling..advanced messaging.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
They're referring to the feature where a SIM unlocked device on U firmware will perform the carrier conversion automatically, without the user having to do it manually by going to U1 and then back to U
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jcrompton:
Cool. I keep learning .....

So you just flashed ATT home CSC to U1 firmware?

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 PM ----------

not sure that I can contribute much because I did in fact start out on U1 firmware and I'm pretty sure that I did have the AT&t SIM card in place

But I think one of the things that helped me was that I took the SIM card out of the Note 10 + while flashing the u firmware put it in the Note 9, and then put the SIM card back in once the phone had already booted. I think that's why AT&t still thinks that I have a note 9 phone with it AT&t accepted IMEI
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
There is no such thing as an AT&T CSC. U firmware is universal, no matter which carrier releases it. If 2 carriers release the same update, then their Odin files will be 100% identical
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jcrompton:
Definitely still curious as to exactly what [MENTION=4496829]butchieboy[/MENTION] did or flashed on the U1 firmware

Also curious as to the answer from [MENTION=4631220]Venom0642[/MENTION] regarding the BYOD firmware for U ..... He didn't seem to be sure, and yet you are saying that all the firmware from different carriers are the same ...... I'm not sure that's the case???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
It is the case, I promise you. Find a version that at least 2 different carriers got, and go download both versions from SamFirm. Extract them, and hash the base files (USERDATA excluded, because that's the one that *is* different) - they'll be an identical match
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jcrompton:
So I wonder if [MENTION=4496829]butchieboy[/MENTION] just flash the user data on top of U1
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
I flashed U1 unlocked firmware on my device. I then just flashed the CSC from U firmware with Odin, device provisioned to AT&t since I have At&t sim and it gave me wifi calling and advanced messaging.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Hmm that's interesting. Good to know that there's a way for wifi calling to work on U1. But idk if that's ever been a problem. You're automatically provisioned since your IMEI is an AT&T original one, but the only thing I don't know is whether wifi calling works by default on U1. Did it work before you flashed the U CSC?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
No it did not
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Which U1 version are you on, and what version CSC did you flash?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Was on U1ASH4 and flashed the U csc from USC(USA). I went back to U firmware ASH4 a couple days ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
But do you remember which build CSC you flashed? SH4? SGO?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
ASH4

---------- Post added at 09:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 PM ----------

As stated, I flashed U1 ASH4 firmware. Then I flashed the csc from U firmware ASH4

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

For some reason At&t sim does not create a IMS profile on unlocked firmware and this prevents wifi calling and advanced messaging. So using the csc from the U firmware enabled wifi calling and advanced messaging without the At&t bloat
