So if my phone is a verizon variant then this U1 firmware should do the trick to remove all of that carrier related stuff? https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g...SM-N975U1/VZW/download/N975U1UEU2BSLC/309313/

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Thee_illuminati:
Can someone help me make sure I do things correct.

I have an unlocked note 10+ on ATT but not an ATT model.

Would I have to download the latest U1 firmware and then load the csc and data? Or should I go back to the one before the beta and then update through software update and then flash att data only? I think I just confused myself now.

I've been using N975U Verizon in Malaysia & with local sim without issue. I assumed it's an unlocked phone.

I'm having N975USQU2BSL7 now. May i know technically is it possible to flash to N975U1UEU2BSLC the latest U1 I downloaded from Frija?

It shows me 'failed SHA256 is invalid' when flashing with Odin. What am i missing?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] moonfire711:
That's so new that their support site listed on your screenshot doesn't even have the update listed. I'm considering trying out the U1 firmware as I've just shifted away from ATT on my 10+ to VZW, but I can't tell if I'd get security updates sooner by doing that or not.

have an ATT device, thats been carrier unlocked, but want to use it on Tmobile.

For those who flashed Unlocked firmware, is their a need to go and flash Tmobile specific firmware or will unlocked firmware operate the same as the tmobile firmware in respect to future updates and wifi calling?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Unlocked firmware will work fine. Wifi calling will be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Randomtandem:
Thanks!

Another question in regards to the step by step guide:

1. Flash full U1 firmware package including non HOME CSC

the linked firmware package in the OP is whats being referred to?

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

If I want to stay on unlocked firmware, i can simply ignore step 4 and remain on unlocked firmware
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Truthfully I would download samfirm and search for sm-n975ui and xaa

Install that using the home CSC. Ignore the sim card removal stuff too.

But yes don't bother with step 4.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Ramhardy:
I have an unlocked Note 10+ purchased directly from Samsung, I'm trying to convert it to T-mobile, Does anyone know why the firmware won't flash without userdata? It comes up successfully passed on odin, but on the device, it says fail to parse or something. It will only flash with the userdata file. The sim swap didn't work to change to the correct carrier either. Any help would be appreciated.

I converted my unlocked US Note 10+ to T-Mobile. I am not receiving any OTA updates. My phone says that I am on the current software with December 1st Security patch.(the package I flashed in Odin) There is a January update available but my phone doesn't see it. I know I can just manually flash it but it's kind of inconvenient. Anyone else able to pull updates after converting? Update: In the T-Mobile app my device shows as "Unknown device"
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
You also have to keep in mind that OTAs are staged. Just because it started rolling out on January 9th doesn't mean that every single phone gets it on January 9th. Most OTA rollouts take a few weeks. Also, T-Mobile probably prioritized their own device's IMEIs or serial numbers, before doing any U1 devices. But the great thing about Samsung firmware is that you can always download the latest version and manually flash it any time you want - you never ever have to actually wait for an OTA. That's the entire purpose of this thread
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Mine shows unknown too. That's because it's an unlocked model. However, mine has full T-Mobile firmware and updates via ota no problem. Going out on a limb here to say you didn't properly convert but I need more info.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] live_in_the_sky06:
I am running full T-Mobile firmware as well. Maybe I should use a different guide instead of a instructional video. Which guide did you follow? I just can't seem to find any updates. Could be that my IMEI isn't priority because it's an unlocked phone?

You are probably not fully converted. It happens. Does your about software screen show tmb/tmb/xaa?

I'm still on Ashe U1 with September 1 security patch. (Still holding out hope for a miracle root exploit lol) Am I missing out on anything great by not updating to latest? Unlocked converted to T-Mobile and only thing missing is ota update which I don't really care about.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Well if you don't care about the OTA, then no, you must not be missing out on anything great. Seems to me that if you already know what's in the OTA and you don't care about it, that kind of answers the question. So you can update any time that you want, really. I would just recommend holding off once bootloader 3 comes out, if you're truly hoping for a root exploit. But may I remind you: the S7 is coming up on 4 years old, and even that one still can't be rooted. So I wouldn't hold out hope.

Yes you can flash to U1.

Were you trying to flash back to an older BL rev? If the version of Android 9 you are flashing doesn't have the same bootloader rev as the Android 10 you are on, it will fail.

How do you flash from U to U1 on Android 10? I tried on 3.13.1 patched and got an error message. Maybe 3.14.1 Odin will do this without being patched?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
The only version I have is patched.

Do you have the exact error you're getting? Helps to capture the last like 10 to 15 lines of status from Odin when it fails. Helps determine the failure.

It went 99% of the way through with patched 3.13.1. The error at the end was most prominent on the phone. Ended up soft bricked. Ended up successfully flashing the current firmware for my phone, VZW while the phone still displayed this error using 3.14.1:

"An error has occurred while updating the device software use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC Software."

Smart Switch would not recognize the device in emergency recovery mode!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Yeah it's just basically a forced download mode because of the failed install.

How many times did this happen? I've had it happen as a one off. I've also had it happen consistently because of a cable. If it was an incompatibility of a build or Odin it would've definitely failed before that point.

Did you do a factory restore first before trying to downgrade from Android 10 to Android 9? If not, you'll keep getting errors when flashing the previous firmware. This happened to me & someone advised me that you have to restore & start clean. Once I did the restore I could successfully flash the last Android 9 firmware that was dropped before Android 10 firmware came out.

Very time consuming but it was worth it for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] blake .l:

Yes you can go into recovery on 10
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
You don't need the USERDATA. That's only required when changing from U to U1, or vice-versa. If you're staying on the same model firmware, then just flash the 4 base files and use HOME CSC instead of the other one

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
A factory reset won't change your version. I'm a bit confused with what you are trying to do? It would probably help you get some help if you dropped the full file names of what you are attempting to flash. Paraphrasing everything might not be helpful when you could be flashing a version of Android that explicitly would not flash depending on the bootloader it's running.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] blake .l:
I finally got it sorted. I was trying to flash a file that the bootloader was different :rolleyes: I got on Samfirm and found the right file. Now I'm on N975U1 bloat free started out with the files from this thread but after you flash Android 10 the bootloader changes and none of the other files in the thread will work to downgrade back to Android 9 because the bootloader revision is lower.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Nope, never said that. USERDATA is exclusive to U firmware because that's where the bloatware resides. There's no point in using/flashing that file if you're going to U1

No, flashing Android 10 does not automatically change the bootloader. The current bootloader level of the Note 10+ is 2, and there are both Android 9 and Android 10 versions of bootloader 2. If you want to be on Android 9 instead of 10, that's totally possible.
