AT&T Android 11 Ota just hit
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Android 11 files have been added for AT&T - both the USERDATA and the rest of the firmware files, since no one else had them uploaded on AFH yet. Build TLL
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mik3sm:
hey sir.. I just download TKA files as well as the TLL for my note10 plus att N975U1 but I realize all AP, BL, CP files are ".tar" files, I tried to change extensions to MD5 but still doesn't work to update my att device, I'm out of US and I'm not able to receive OTA, last November I used your ATT files on this original post (THANK YOU!) and I was expecting new updates worked same but it did not, may I ask what's the matter with "no" md5 files? or why now my Note stuck on "file analysis" ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
You don't need it to be .md5 - you only need it to be .tar

And it's not "stuck" - they're just large files so you need to wait for Odin to complete the file analysis
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mik3sm:
Dude you're right, sorry to be that way! I'm feel so dumb xD .. now I would like to know whether your TLL5 (android 11) works for My Note10+ Snapdragon version, does it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Does the model number of your phone end in U or U1 or W?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mik3sm:
it is U.. N975U but everywhere says android 11 only works for Exynos -_-
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
"Everywhere" is wrong. Samsung has already released the Android 11 update for Qualcomm models with model numbers ending in U, U1, and W
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mik3sm:
basically you're right again.. I did it, take some time to analyze the files but finally I got android 11 One UI 3.0 on my Note10+ at&t version.. let's see how it works.. thank you sir!

OK- I am a TOTAL non-techy newbie but I REALLY need some help.

I am trying to switch my phone service to Xfinity Mobile. I purchased a used (unlocked) Galaxy Note 10plus 5G from verizon (Model SM-N75U, One UI version 1.5, Android version 9) thinking it would work for xfinity service, but alas, like so many others- the IMEI check says I am unable to BYOD to XM. After doing some research about this particularly common problem- I attempted to outsmart their system, by purchasing another Note10plus (this time an Xfinity model- but without 5G) thinking this would get me the sim card I need to use in the first phone. Although the second Note 10 (same model number, but One UI version is 2.1, and Android version 10) opens up to an xfinity screen- the IMEI checker AGAIN says no go. So, I decided to give it one last try. I went ahead and purchased a new phone (note20) from xfinity. Again, the point being to get the sim card (and then return the phone). After it arrived in the mail today- I popped out the sim card and first tried it in the verizon Note10plus- but it showed, "no carrier." When I tried it in the Xfinity Note10plus- it did activate the device- thus a success(?)

Here's the problem- I prefer to keep the Verizon phone because it has 5G AND it was less expensive than the xfinity phone. What I would like help with is doing whatever I need to do to try to get it to either switch to xfinity (csc to cha? whatever that means) and I think to upgrade it to Android version 10 from version 9 (if that is necessary). I have read several posts that indicate that model numbers ending in UI are less likely to be compatible in the long run, but is that the same for models ending in U?

As I mentioned- I'm not very tech-y, but I am a great researcher and a fast learner (just enough to be dangerous!) If anyone wants to take me on as a project, I would be very grateful!!

Thank you!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
An S10 5G from Verizon should have the model number of SM-G977U.

Please double check and verify
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 4lindamar:
I'm sorry! I meant to say NOTE10 plus 5G
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Well then you're in the wrong thread. Because that would be the N976V and this thread is for the N975U and N975U1.

But Xfinity never sold that model and no Xfinity firmware exists for it - it is/was exclusive to Verizon. So it doesn't surprise me that Xfinity won't let you use it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 4lindamar:
Thank you for your response. Based on the information you provided- I does indeed appear that my phone is not in fact, 5G (thus model number SM-N975 NOT 976 as you indicated) Apparently it was not listed correctly when I purchased it.

In this case- I believe am on the correct thread.

One of my two phones appears to have Xfinity firmware already on board and when I pop in my Xfinity mobile sim, it has service. The other phone however does not.

So is it possible for me to somehow change the firmware on that (verizon) phone so that it can be used on Xfinity?

I see on the SAMmobile website that there is firmware available for the N975U model. Can you offer me any suggestions or tips for making the change?

Thank you for your help-
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Your previous post stated that you have a "Note 10+ 5G". The model number of the Verizon variant of the Note 10+ 5G is SM-N976V.

So is that the model number that shows in the device's settings, or no?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 4lindamar:
NO- as my last message said- the phone is NOT 5G. I was wrong about that. It is a note10+ and the model number is SM-N975U. That is what it shows in the device settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
The phone should automatically be changing over to the Xfinity firmware when you insert an Xfinity SIM - if it is actually and truly SIM unlocked. If it's not doing the changeover, you can follow the steps given in the OP to do it yourself
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 4lindamar:
Thank you. I did find directions for changing the firmware but I have one question before I do that. The phone is currently android version9. Do I need to update that before I do the firmware change or should I wait until after the phone is switched over to xfinity. Also- I have read that this sometimes results in problems with apps like visual voicemail or Volte calling. Do you know if there is a fix for those issues should they arise?

Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
1. No, you don't need to update the Android version if you don't want to.

2. No, this doesn't really result in any "problems". Either those functions will work, or they won't - no real way to know until you try it. If they don't work, then no, I personally don't know of a fix
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Android 11 now available for U1 firmware, via the various download tools like SamFirm and Frija. Build UA4
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 4lindamar:
Not sure why, but I just completed the process of trying to switch firmware for my note10+ from verizon to xfinity, but it didn't work. Here is what I did:

1. I put the new xfinity sim card in the phone

2. I downloaded Odin to my PC and extracted files using 7zip

3. I downloaded and extracted appropriate firmware files to PC from Frija for my phone and carrier- CHA (SM-N975U_2_20210106205903_bsbnfq6n62_fac)

4. I made sure my PC had the latest Android USB drivers for windows.

5. I turned on USB Debug mode on the phone and Verify Apps over USB were turned on.

6. I updated my phone to OS10 from OS9

7. I plugged my phone into PC and turned it off.

8. turned it back on holding bixby, volume up and volume down until I saw the blue warning screen, pressed volume up to continue until I saw "downloading"

9. I flashed odin by going to download folder and selecting file via "run as administrator"

10. Confirmed phone was connect (IDCom was highlighted and log tab indicated that ID has been added.

11. I loaded the firmware from the extracted Frija files and hit start

12. After successfully loading phone restarted in recovery mode. I selected reboot system now

13. Phone opened and VERIZON screen appeared. So apparently the phone was not switched to xfinity......

Any thoughts? Did I miss something or do something wrong? Or is my phone just not going to switch firmware???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Yes, you missed quite a bit. I previously stated that if the phone doesn't do the conversion automatically, you'll need to follow the steps that are given in the OP. The very first step in that set of instructions says to flash U1 firmware. But it looks like you flashed U firmware
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 4lindamar:
Got it. Thank you. I tried flashing U1 firmware and got FAIL! SHA256 is invalid error. Looking through posts for an answer now! How do you guys ever figure this stuff out?! Your help is certainly appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 4lindamar:
Ok- I looked for previous posts about the FAIL! SHA256 is invalid error. I found a post with a patcheD version of Odin ( Odin3 v3.14.1_3B_Patch ) tried that and the whole thing failed/ So I kept researching and saw someone else who had the same problem- the answer given was "you probably tried to downgrade the bootoader" I'm not sure what that means, but here's what I can tell you. I am now somehow at U1 version 3 android version 11, which I understand is the very latest upgrade. So please, if you can tell me where to go from here so I don't brick the phone- I would be eternally grateful!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 4lindamar:
Crap! Did I just screw this up by making this mistake?

"Samsung doesn't allow bootloader downgrading, so you'll have to wait for CCT (in my case?) to release a v3 firmware and then you'll be able to make the switch."
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
If you're currently running U1 with Android 11, that means you're on bootloader level 5. So you need to follow steps 2 and 3 of the instructions given in the OP, and then download Xfinity's U firmware of bootloader level 5 in order to do step 4
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 4lindamar:
I followed the directions above. Upon boot, I inserted the xfinity SIM. There was no popup saying "reboot to apply new carrier settings", I saw the Verizon splash screen and then at the top left of the screen it said xfinity. For about 20 minutes. Now it says "emergency calls only". Perhaps I don't understand what you mean by "upon boot" I assumed this meant restart- but perhaps I should have booted to some boot menu? I don't mean to be a PITA, here. Doing my best and appreciating your help.

L
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
If you saw the Verizon splash screen, then you're not running U1 firmware. The first step in the OP instructions is to flash U1 firmware
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 4lindamar:
Right- but when I tried to flash UI firmware yesterday- it failed. looking back I see that my post said U1 version 3.0 Android version 11- I should have said UI version 3.0 (i vs 1?) I can try flashing u1 firmware again- and will send the results of the fail if it happens again-
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I need details like a specific error message that appears in Odin or on the device itself, in order to know why a flash fails

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
You're probably trying to downgrade the bootloader. You need to flash firmware that matches the phone's current bootloader level, or that is a higher level than what's on the phone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 4lindamar:
Thank you- I am not sure how to find that. I used Frija and the file I downloaded (N975U1UEU5EUA4/N975U1OYM5EUA4/N975U1UEU5EUA4) was for Sm-N975U1 OS (R) android 11. Is that not the firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Yep, that should be it. So try flashing again. If it fails again, post a picture of the error message that appears on the phone screen
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 4lindamar:
I will try it again though I have tried it twice already. I am re-downloading it to make sure the files downloaded correctly. Also- there wasn't an error message on the phone screen, after flashing the files above, I restarted the phone and put the Xfinity sim in. Once booted, it showed the Verizon splash screen briefly- and then I saw xfinity up in the top right corner of the screen. There was no "reboot to apply new carrier settings " option, it just started up. Then about 20 minutes later I noticed that it had changed from xfinity to sim not recognized/emergency calls only. I will try the U1 flash again and let you know if I get an error. Thank you again for taking so much time to help me-
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 4lindamar:
Woo Hoo!! The U1 flash seems to have worked out.... I will now follow up with steps 2 and 3 in the OP. I also want to check in about the next step after that. Your response says, " and then download Xfinity's U firmware of bootloader level 5 in order to do step 4 " Is this U firmware for OS11 then? So I need to make sure that the firmware I flash in step 4 is for OS 11 or does bootloader level 5 mean something different? And in that flash I want to include the userdata file as well if I understand correctly.

Getting closer..... : )
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
The bootloader level is more important than the Android version. You're already on bootloader level 5, so you can't flash anything older than 5. But there are both Android 10 and Android 11 versions for bootloader 5, so you could theoretically flash either one
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 4lindamar:
It worked!! My phone is now an Xfinity phone!! I can't believe it worked and I definitely could NEVER have made this happen without your expert help and patience! Thank you SO much!

I do have one final question and then I promise to let you move on-

Originally this phone could not be activated on my xfinity account (thus the reason for the firmware switch) Now I will be able to activate it, but I had to use a sim card from a different Xfinity phone (note20) and that is what will show on my account. This wouldn't matter except that if anything happens to the phone, my phone insurance would require documentation that THIS Note10+ phone was what was registered to the account. DO you know if there is a way for Xfinity to add this IMEI (that their system won't accept) to my account. Don't expect that you will know, but since many other people are in this boat with Note 10+ phones and Xfinity, I thought I would ask.....

No worries if that is outside your vast area of expertise! Just thought I would ask :)

Sincerely, I do really appreciate your help with this phone. I have wanted a note 10 for a while and I am thrilled to have it working!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Firmware is not what activates a phone - the SIM is. All SIMs are the same - there is no such thing as a "Note 10 SIM" or "Note 20 SIM". If Xfinity says that you can't use this phone based on its IMEI number, then no amount of firmware flashing is going to change that. The SIM always communicates the IMEI to the network, so it's impossible for the network to show that you're using a Note 20 IMEI, if it's really a Note 10
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 4lindamar:
That makes sense. New problem (potentially) Today when I looked at the phone it said "no network" again up in the top right corner. I was going to panic but when I restarted it - the xfinity splash screen was there and now it says xfinity again. Is this going to keep happening? Could it be that it is because I haven't activated it with xfinity yet? Maybe once activated, it won't switch back? Your thoughts? Is this normal?

As always- thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
You usually can't switch devices on Xfinity just by swapping the SIM. If you want to activate a different device, you usually have to contact them in order for them to activate it

I am on U.I 3.0 which I Odin,

for some reason I am again not receiving OTA updates

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks IBowtoAndroid

Question can I download and update it from Sammobile,

and if so can I use UA1 on this model
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I would use SamFirm or Frija - they're 50 times faster than SamMobile. And yes, the OP states very clearly that any version can be flashed to any model at any time
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Moondaughter6:
Thanks again for responding

I have downloaded Samfirm, which country do I pick as this is the first time I am

using SamFirm, I am in Canada, but I know that probably wouldn't work, and

it's not listed, I looked for USA, and I don't see that either

I do have Frija, as well, but again not sure what the CSC needs to be for this particular

file.

Does anyone know what how to get rid of a big gray circle, in the middle of the Note 9 Home Screen, which has the battery power level within the circle?

Does anyone know where this circle came from? It just recently started showing up on my Home Screen and it's very annoying when I'm trying to work with my phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jbrahma:
"you do know about the concept of charging a phone and getting a notification of it and the current %....."

Really!! I'm not an idiot!! Of course I know!! The problem is that the damn circle continues to show up about every 30 seconds, whether the battery has gained a power percentage point or not; same thing when the battery is discharging...almost continual displaying of the circle.

Turning off Adaptive Battery does not stop the circle from appearing. I want, and need, to know how to turn this circle off or disable it altogether. I've also noticed that my battery does not charge as well as it did before this PIE update....sometimes it charges and sometimes it doesn't. Also, keep in mind that the Damn circle is using battery power just to try and look "cool" and make Google think they did something constructive.

Again, any help would be appreciated. Thanks. FYI, I may be a "junior member" since I do not post but, I've been a member for over 25 years, I believe...probably longer. I'm just getting gray as you will be soon. LOL!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
age has nothing to do with the elaboration on one's issues and the means used to ask for help.

1- nowhere did you state that this appeared or not when you actualy had the phone on a charger and which type.

2- maybe your charging cable is defective in some way or form. try an other. the 2nd message you posted now points to something that is not normal.If you use wireless charing then it would seem you might just be out of range or are using a chit Qi charging pad or even a case that might be just a tad too thick.

3- samsung makes the phone and the one UI. not xda. maybe take it up with them.

as you can see well describing your problem can go a long way. BTW the junior title in your profile matches your status correctly.

also:

XDA Developers (also known simply as XDA; often stylized as xda-developers) is a mobile software development community launched on 20 December 2002

and 25 years ago, smart phones did not exist.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jbrahma:
Sorry Guy, you are wrong, in all cases. Check out your history. Oh wait! No one checks history anymore; that's why everything is going downhill. XDA-Developers was around alot longer than you realize. I was on, under a different user name, probably before you were able to read. It's people like you, who always look for others mistakes, that cause legitimate posters to not post. People like you are Bullies and Trolls. So, piss off!

The problem with the circle is that Android Pie (version 9 to those of you who don't check history) is flawed. The batteries are draining faster than they can be charged; there are touch screen issues; adaptive display is messed up, et cetera. Samsung is aware of the issues and is allowing a reflash to fix the problems. Other phone manufacturers, as well as Service Providers, are doing the same or they are denying the problems at the detriment of their consumers. Check out the uproar in Europe. Pie is just now hitting the major markets in the U.S. so, the problems are not widespread yet.

Don't upgrade to Pie until Google decides to fix their mistakes. Good luck!
