Unfortunately flashing the unbranded U1 firmware didn't change much. I guess this damn thing really is locked to Verizon after all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] gastondefer:
This's interesting. Now I'm thinking maybe you should've flashed a U firmware like Tmobile or at&t rather the U1. But I doubt the result would have been different though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] SantinoInc:
I really don't think that would have changed things at all. The guy I bought the phone from claims he'll get me an actual unlocked one...we'll see. If that doesn't pan out I have a couple more options available.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] gastondefer:
I hope that works out for you. I was literally getting the same popup message, and it just never reappeared again after I flashed the at&t firmware. This must have started with the Note 10 series I would think.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] SantinoInc:
Well it may not have anything to do with Note 10, it may be Verizon's new unlock policy. Some BS where the phone is locked for 60 days. Mind you I don't really know the true story of the phones origin...the IMEI appears clean but I know little else

Are you 100% sure Verizon is 100% unlock ? I just bought an Verizon SM-N975U and having a hard time using it on T-Mobile... If I flash it to Tmobile Firmware , I assume it will work perfectly ? Verizon claims 60 usage before unlock but I dont' have service with them. Also, if I can use T mobile firmware and able to use it, do you think I can flash the U1 firmware for unlock version ? I don't flash on daily base, if I do go TMobile firmware, do I need to flash U1 before flashing Tmobile firmware ? Thanks ahead of time.. Really need to resolve my problem. thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] SantinoInc:
I'm 100% sure that the Verizon branded N10 is 100% LOCKED. They have a new policy where the phone has to be active on their system for I believe 60 days before it's unlocked. I bought a Verizon "unlocked" Note 10 with a clean IMEI and it is not unlocked. I even flashed unbranded firmware but it didn't matter.

PM the OP and he may be able to assist you.

hello guys! i have Note 10 Plus Branded AT&T (UNLOCKED) flashed with U1 firmware, Can i used it with Sprint Network and it will work properly?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
No idea. You'll have to ask Sprint if they will accept that device on their network
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MatroxD:
It's true about the 60 days(not so sure about the unlocked models, as I would think I'd they're being sold as unlocked, that's what they should be... Or I'd be pretty angry..

But anyhow, the 60 days for all other new purchased devices on Verizon, is 60 days and then, they're unlocked. I switched my old note 8 to tmobile for my wife, and my mom's LG to at&t and back. Neither would work until after the 60 days.. Then, I could do anything..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
The 60 day policy didn't take effect until 2-3 months ago. A Note 8 wouldn't be subject to that, because they stopped selling those a long time ago
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mikechu1133:
Did you try flashing within the 60 days ? Somehow i think Verizon added their own software to prevent use on other network.. when i 1st put in tmobile sim, it'll register tmobile network and couple 2nd later it'll say contact verizon
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
The only thing that "prevents use on another network" is a SIM lock. A Verizon Samsung device is SIM locked if you get the "Sorry, you can't activate this device on another carrier's network right now. Please contact Verizon at 1-888....." popup message a few minutes after inserting a different carrier's SIM
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mikechu1133:
So wonder what's my option if i bought this Verizon phone from a buddy for super good deal.. Now i would like to unlock for T mobile but Verizon won't do it saying I'm not their customer when contact. They said it needs to be use on Verizon network for 60 days before unlock occurs
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Probably use a paid service to unlock it?

Can you Odin the U1 firmware on the Verizon 5G phone or is it different
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] gastondefer:
Unfortunately you can't, it's a different model number.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Stevieboy02008:
Okay thank you. I hate Verizon bloatware and always Odin to the U1 because I love the native caller id and spam blocking.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Skyrocket2Paradise:
I have an att 10+ and I flashed the lastest ASI3 u1 firmware. Everything is working perfectly except in voicemail settings of the phone app I can't select Google voice only my carrier. I also cannot set a call forwarding number it just says failed to read data. Has anyone else come across this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
So no one yet recieved AT&T and T-Mobile Live OTA for Note10 Plus, here's mines since Tuesday got it.

Both Carriers AT&T and T-Mobile are on same firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] joemossjr:
Tmobile this morning
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] SantinoInc:
Is that the Oct security patch or something else?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tlbland0426:
I'm the same way! As soon as I walked out of Best Buy with my Note 10+ on release day I sat out in the parking lot, fired up my laptop and flashed the U1 firmware. I'm having a problem though with the native caller id and spam blocking. Mine just doesn't seem to work anymore and haven't figured out why. I've even factory reset but no luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Stevieboy02008:
I've had the same problem with my S10 plus as well and I think I'm going to go with the regular note 10+ I get it with all of my points and all for around 400 bucks. So I can't go wrong with that and living in Ohio I don't see the big deal with 5G lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] d.cortez:
nothing on my device. i have an ATT 512GB version (purchased from Samsung) and have not received any OTA updates since i first setup the phone in early September. every time i check, i get " Current software is up to date".
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Stevieboy02008:
Because you have the AT&T variant you'll have to wait for them to release the updates
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] joemossjr:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
You will not get OTA from AT&T cause your on SPR,TMB,VZW firmware N975USQU1ASHB, AT&T September Patch is different from the other carriers, you need to be on this one from AT&T N975USQU1ASI2 which that's the one AT&T rolled out for Sept Patch, If want future OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] d.cortez:
Interesting, how did I get an OTA for another carrier? ASHB was pushed/OTA'd to my device. I've been checking for ASI2 ever since I read it was available in this thread but it never appeared as an OTA (now I know why). I did not apply the ASI2 OTA using links in this thread because I was concerned it would wipe data and I'd have to setup my device again. Guess I'll have to manually apply the ASI2 OTA using links in this thread. Thanks for your feedback.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
That's theoretically not possible - to get SHB pushed, if you weren't on AT&T. What Build Number and which carrier's firmware were you running prior to the OTA?

Also, there aren't any OTA zip file links in this thread. This is only for full Odin firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] d.cortez:
i can't recall the original build number. i remember, however, that i did not insert a SIM card when setting up my N10 and, that i accepted an OTA during the initial setup. maybe that's how i got the SHB version. i got it sorted now; i downloaded the Odin ROM from Frija and flashed to my device so i should be ok. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Well no. AT&T is getting SI2, not SI3. So they're not gonna push you an OTA if you're running a version that AT&T didn't get. You're right back in the same position that you were in before.

In order to get successful OTAs, you need to be running a version that your carrier actually got. So in this case, you need to be on SGO or SH4, in order to get an AT&T OTA. Or you can flash straight to SI2, which will put you on track to receive whatever the next OTA ends up being (although no other carrier has gotten SI2 so far, so those files aren't going to be available via any free sources)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] d.cortez:
lol, thanks for clarifying. i made my assessment comparing the picture in [MENTION=4631220]Venom0642[/MENTION]'s post a few above mine. i'm going to sit tight for now...:good:

Damn, my search skills suck. Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dcscorpio76:
I was in a similar predicament with not getting OTA because I suppose I was on non AT&T firmware. Long story short, I always purchased an unlocked Note direct from Samsung because the trade in deals are good. Once I receive the device, I immediately flash the U firmware in order to use the carrier features such as Wifi Calling & VOLTE. However, I flashed ASH4 and never recieved an OTA well into Sept approaching Oct so I was still on Aug 1 security patch. I then Odin flashed ASHB and still no OTA from AT&T. After reading this thread, I leaned that I needed to be on ASI2 which is the official "AT&T" firmware. I eventually found the firmware after an exhaustive search and I had to flash back to ASH4 and user the update.zip to update to ASI2 via the SD card which wiped my phone. With all that said, after a week being on SI2, still no OTA update to Oct security patchso the wipe seemed senseless to me if I'm still not on the correct OTA path. I see the Oct firmwares on sammobile so I assume AT&T hasn't released Oct security patch yet or have they? Am I being impatient or has anyone else recieved an OTA update on AT&T?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kangi26:
I'm got AT&T OTA to 1ASI2 (Sept 1 security patch) around Sept 20

ATT branded to Unlocked

Hi all. I want to flash the unlocked firmware so that I can try to participate in the beta program but don't know which one to use. I am currently on AT&T and I want to keep most of the services such as VoLTE and what not. Which one would be best if any?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
You do know At&t has an unlocked firmware dont you
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
SI2 *is* the newest/latest AT&T update as of right now, so you're not gonna see an OTA to anything else until something new comes out. But even then, you still might never see an OTA, based on your prior experiences. And I would guess that it had something to do with having a U1 IMEI instead of a U. Next time, you can use the Odin files to update, if you don't want your data wiped

U1 is the only

"unlocked firmware " that exists
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] SantinoInc:
My U1 w/o a Sim in it got the October Security patch. Is that normal as it sounds like only ATT got that update?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TechGoon954:
So I have the unlocked version and I successfully have all my VOLTE,WiFi Calling and etc, but I'm not receiving any OTA. I flashed the Sept patch, but I would like to get OTA's without losing all my features. I noticed that I'm on ATT/ATT/XAA. Not new to flashing, just don't want lose my features.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] gastondefer:
As far as I know, U1 phones don't really need a sim card in order to get updates, and both my N975U1 and G975U1 got the October update for about a week now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Spacemaine9596:
Yes but the current firmware version from sammobile showes it is on the ASH4 version. If I flashed that would I lose future OTA updates?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
You're running a version that AT&T never got. So you won't get any updates, as explained in the thread yesterday
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TechGoon954:
This is understood already, I was wondering which firmware should I flash to get the updates and keep all my features? That's why I was asking because I thought [MENTION=360014]kangi26[/MENTION] had it on a unlocked note, based off his picture.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Spacemaine9596:
Would the ASH4 firmware from Sammobile still get OTA updates even though it is on the September security patch?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
All depends on which carrier's firmware you're running. If it's a carrier that officially got SH4, then yes, you should get an OTA to whatever comes next, whenever that's released.

But as has been stated multiple times, there's really no reason for using SamMobile - ever. It's just too damn slow
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Spacemaine9596:
Good to know. I am currently on AT&T's firmware. I just found on Sammobile that AT&T's U1 firmware got updated to the SI3 firmware. If I were to flash that is there any chance I could get on the beta program when it is released? Since the U1 firmware is the non-carrier branded firmware (unlocked)?

Edit* when flashing to an unlocked firmware will that effect my SIM at all? As far as not having service anymore or anything like that?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I have no idea what the rules are for getting on the beta. I thought it was only for the S10 series at this time
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mikechu1133:
Please someone help. This should be simple.. I flashed Full U1 firmware 1st, reboot and then flashed N975U with TMB userdata but it boots up as Verizon ? Shouldn't it boot up as T mobile firmware ? I have my tmo sim card in there and flashed all firmware with CSC files, not home
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
If you didn't do the carrier swap reboot after flashing U1, then no, you're not going to get T-Mobile bloat
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mikechu1133:
What you mean by carrier swap reboot ? I flashed U1, then put in Tmobile Sim reboot and flashed U firmware with TmB Userdata.. i did something wrong ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Instructions need to be followed exactly as given in the OP. If it didn't work, then you did something wrong, so re-do the steps
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mikechu1133:
I believe i followed every step.. just read the procedure again and followed exactly.. I'll try again..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] gastondefer:
Is your phone unlocked? When you flashed the U1, after putting your sim card upon restart, did you get a message asking to restart the phone for the new settings to be applied?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kangi26:
I SUPPOSE it's possible. Historically they have released the beta to the U1 side of the house, but I couldn't say thats what they'll do for the N10+ or even IF they will.

Flashing Unlocked firmware will not do anything to your SIM, you could see a loss in reception. My experience on the N8 and U1, the modem wasn't as good as the AT&T stock so I saw worse coverage on U1
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] burrzoo:
I'm thinking that I'll never get an ATT OTA. They have no idea which phone model that I'm on based on the picture of my phone when I login to att.com. I'll wait a bit to see since I am currently on S12 but not holding my breath. Just as easy to flash anyway.

[IMG="ATT - screenshot of unknown phone type"] https://www.mediafire.com/view/4zwnkqkhvqaku26/101619_att_doesn%27t_know_which_phone_I_have.png/file[/IMG]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mikechu1133:
Yes its unlocked... after flashing U1, i put in the sim and a message pops up prompting for restart.. after restart, i flashed it with U firmware along with TMB firmware
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dcscorpio76:
I discovered with the unlocked N9 that I needed a U IMEI to get all the carrier aggregate functionality. I did that and my N9 had all features once flashed to U firmware. So when I received my N10+, I went back to the AT&T store and they hooked me up like they did last year. I then went home and flashed the U firmware from Sammobile. I'm definitely on U now and on SI2 so hopefully I'm in line for the Oct OTA
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Spacemaine9596:
It is only the s10 series until next week from what I have been reading. If I flashed the U1 firmware and then decide the go back to the U firmware would I use the U link you had posted at the beginning of this thread? Even if I am on Att now? I know it's the SGO firmware but I don't know if Att had that firmware at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
If there's an AT&T USERDATA posted along with the base firmware package, then yes, AT&T got that version
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rlubrich87:
Can you give a little more detail in what you mean by the store helping you out? So did you bring your unlocked 10+ in, they grabbed a 10+ from their inventory and put that IMEI number on your line, which got you the features and then switched back to your unlocked IMEI number? I get that you had to flash the U firmware after that just not sure what the store did for you. I have an unlocked 10 plus but already flashed the U firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Spacemaine9596:
So would that USERDATA be used during the flashing process as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
If you're going from U1 to U, and if you want/need carrier apps and bloatware, then yes
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dcscorpio76:
Sorry if I made that confusing. Basically, the store used a display phone's IMEI and updated it in the system. They then gave me a new sim card but at that very moment, I was still on U1 although my IMEI had been "altered". I immediately had visual VM but no Wifi calling or VOLTE because I was still on the unlocked firmware. Only when I returned home and flash the U firmware in Odin with ASH4 BL, AP, CSC, & userdata I was able to then get all of the carrier aggregate features but I also gained all of the bloatware which I disabled with Package Disabler Pro. What I didn't know until recently was that I flashed the USA ASH4 and not the "ATT" version which is why I never received any OTA since Aug 1. I eventually found the SI2 firmware and Odin flashed it. So hopefully I'm on the right firmware to receive future OTA's. Hope that helped!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rlubrich87:
Yes that helps. So you did need the IMEI number of an att branded 10+ along with a new SIM card. Ill have to go to my store and try the same thing. They had my att note 9 IMEI number in their system and wifi calling was working but mobile hotspot wasnt and of course once they updated to the unlocked IMEI number, hotspot then worked but wifi calling failed because their system is showing something called Samsung D2. I have called but they of course cant figure out what is needed. Ill have to go to the store and hopefully get someone willing to help. Thanks for the info!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TechGoon954:
Where did you get the S12 firmware from? I'm stuck on ASH4 right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Stuart R:
Same here.

I even connected my AT&T Note 10+ to the latest Smartswitch on my PC and it said the latest update was already installed (SH4).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
I got ASI2 OTA on At&t and I was on the USA ASH4
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dcscorpio76:
I had to use the SD card update trick which I don't like because it wipes the phone in the process. But I got it from firmware.science but I'll drop a link. You have to be on ASH4 to update and makes sure you backup your internal storage cause it'll wipe it out. I had to rename the file to update.zip. Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for anything wonky that may happen to your phone. Use at your own risk. Check firmware.science for flashing instructions and makes sure you have the proper files. Odin is not necessary in this case. Good luck!

Edit: File won't upload to this thread so check https://firmware.science/ and put in your model number

---------- Post added at 07:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 AM ----------

Now this is what worries me in terms of knowing if I'm on the correct OTA update path. I never received any OTA and I was on USA ASH4. Hopefully I solved the issue by being on ASI2 now but I won't know until AT&T drops next OTA. Thanks for sharing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Yeah Firmware Science wipes device. I think someone posted something here that they do so it doesn't wipe device when using this method. I had this very issue on At&t Note 8. I never got an OTA for any update, always had to find it and Odin or Firmware Science
