I was stuck on FUI6 but got all the way to February update Android 12 with my T-Mobile SIM.

Good ol AT&T!! 😂

My phone SM-N975U have not received any Android 12 its still stucked on Android 11. Any idea how I can get it updated without pc?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Without a computer it's impossible

Alright thanks. I have to get a PC and force the update
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] aschaffer35:
It's been a long time since I've done anything really "fun" using these forums, I think back to galaxy s3 days lol. Anyways, for my question... I see in the folder for the "u" version of this phone which I do have (Note 10+, bought with Sprint originally, swapped to Tmobile sim last year, then switched to AT&T so the poor thing has been thru a lot) there is a sub folder of ULD - 12.0. My problem is since I've switched to AT&T in October of last year, 2021, I have not received a single update OTA. I'm currently on N975USQS7FUH7, Android Security Patch Level 9/1/2021. I'm thinking there may be something stuck since I've done all this switching. If I wanted to ODIN up to the new GULD version, would I need both files from that folder? The N975U_ULD_7.zip along with the "USERDATA_ATT_N975......." and then fire up ODIN and have at it? Would my phone do a factory reset if I did this or would it just be an upgrade?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] aschaffer35:
So I decided to get crazy and just go at it :) I did not flash user data and made sure to use the home_CSC file and I can say I am now happily on Android 12 GULD, woot! Hopefully I start getting AT&T OTA's now. Hopefully my post helps someone else out there. Love XDA! Thanks so much iBowToAndroid to uploading these files my good sir!

**editing my post to add - I got an OTA update now for the February Security Update! YAY!!!!! I am SUPER HAPPY! Current Baseband: N975USQS7GVA1

Hey my guy, abeg how I fit connect, I be naija guy and I wan run this same parole.

I am also trying to change my firmware from n975u to n975u1.

Can someone please confirm if I will loose the unlocked ability if I go ahead with N975U1 and XAA(as CSC) ?

Thank you.

It is unfortunate that we are still stuck with the February build N975USQS7GVA1. As U1 (unlocked firmware) in the US recently got the May update with One UI 4.1
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
What are you talking about? If you're still running N975USQS7GVA1, then OTAs are not working on your device, because that's now 3 updates behind
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] FAUguy:
What is the current firmware for the AT&T N975U (not U1)? It had been updating every month, but this one with firmware GVA1 with February Security Path is the last one that downloaded and installed. I manually check for OTA update about twice a week and nothing.

How can I get it working again?

I did just try connecting to the Samsung Smart Switch program on my PC and it says Firmware up to date "VA1 (ATT)".
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Just download and manually flash the newest version. That's the entire point and purpose of this thread
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] FAUguy:
The last firmware listed is ULD, which is a month older than the VA1 that I currently have. When I got the phone last year, it came with an older AT&T firmware on it, but I flashed it to the newer UH4 Sept 2021 firmware with Userdata_ATT file, and then let it OTA download each month to the newest. All I'm saying is that the last OTA I got was the VA1 in Feb for the N975U, but I have read the N975U1 Unlocked firmware has had more updates and now on One UI 4.1.

What I'm asking is if for my N975U if VA1 February is the latest that ATT has pushed out, or should I have got a few OTAs since VA1 in February? If so, then what is the most current firmware for the ATT N975U?

When I go to the SamMobile site, put in the N975U, it gives other Carriers on a list to select (Comcast, TMO, Verizon, but not ATT). So if I look at TMO, it shows their VA1 in Feb, but since then there is VC6 March, VCD April, and VD1 May. Comcast shows the same.

SamMobile only has the N975U1 for ATT listed, and when I select it, then it shows the VD1 May firmware.

But that is for U1 unlocked, and If I went from U to U1, then I would loose the AT&T carrier features? (VoLTE, WiFi Calling, and any app that is part of the Userdata_ATT).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] FAUguy:
So here is what I did, downloaded from SamMobile the ATT 975U1 firmware VD1 and went to flash my phone with ODIN. I used the HOME CSC that was in the VD1 folder, but once the flash got to product.img.ext4 it would fail and I had a error on the phone saying the software update failed and would not boot.

So I was thinking what to do, this time instead of using HOME CSC that was part of the N975U VD1 folder, I used the HOME CSC from N975U version ULD.

This time it was able to fully flash and reboot.

All my apps and settings are intact.

Going into Software Information shows the N957U1UES7HVD1 as the build, but shows Service Provider Software Version as the N975U_OYN_ATT.

I've also noticed that I no longer have the Check for new Software (Firmware) listed in my Settings, it's just gone.

Update: so I tried to flash back to the N975U ULD firmware, and even though it finished and rebooted, each time I would draw my Unlock Pattern and the screen would "refresh" and ask again for the unlock pattern. If I tied a wrong pattern, it would say it was wrong, but when doing the correct pattern, the screen just refreshed and it would still be there instead of unlocking and going to the home screen.

So I tried other N975U1 firmwares and they all did the same thing. It wasn't until I flashed the N975U1 VD1 firmware that I used earlier (but having to use the N975U ULD HOME CSC) that I was then able to unlock the screen like normal.

So as of now, it appears the phone will be "stuck" on VD1 since the Software Firmware option has gone missing from the Settings menu. The only hope would be if we could get ahold of the ATT N975U VD1 firmware and flash it over this N975U1 VD1.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I see that you haven't read any part of the first post in this thread.

Why would you mix and match the CSCs?

Do another full flash, either all U files or all U1 files, and the software update option will return
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] FAUguy:
Yes, I did read. I tried to do a FULL FLASH OF ALL FILES of N975U1 VD1 using the Home CSC that is also VD1 and it FAILS at product.img.ext4 in ODIN.

The same thing happens with a full flash of VCD.

If I try a full flash of VC6 or VA1 it will flash, but then I get that "screen refresh loop" after drawing the login pattern. So that tells me you can't go back to those earlier firmware since they are OneUI 4.0, you have to stay with OneUI 4.1 which is VCD and VD1.

So with the VD1 firmware flashed on the phone, I was able to select the VC6 Home CSC and that DID restore the "Update Software" that was missing in the menu, but when I click on it, and it says Checking Servers, it then gives an error saying my software isn't supported and to visit a service center.

So the actual problem is that the VD1 and VCD Home CSC will not flash with ODIN, giving an error at product.img.ext4. I noticed those two Home CSC file sizes are big at 1.5GB, but the VC6, VA1, and ULD are only 120-140MB
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Something went very very wrong either with your download or the extraction. I just downloaded VD1 and each of the CSCs are 111 MB.

Also, you can't use HOME CSC when going between U and U1 firmwares. A wipe is required, so that means using the regular CSC file
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] FAUguy:
Is there any possible way to get the AT&T N975U (not U1) firmware version VD1 uploaded to Android Host Files so I can do a full flash of it?

The only reason I went to the N975U1 VD1 was because the phone was stuck on N975U VA1 since February.

I did a new download of the ATT N975U1 VD1 firmware from SamMobile which is over 8GB and use WinRAR to unzip extract the files, and Home CSC is coming in at 1.44GB in the zip file.

I found another site and downloaded the VD1 from there (5.5GB) and the CSC files are 111MB. But notice the file name difference. The one that is over 1GB is HOME CSC OYZ, but the one that is 111MB is HOME CSC OYM.

So after flashing that Home CSC OYM, the Software Update showed up on the settings, and actually worked doing a check and saying Your Software is Up To Date.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
1. OYZ is the Star Wars themed firmware, hence the large size

2. The OP states very clearly that all U firmware is identical - there is no such thing as "AT&T firmware" nor any other "(insert carrier here) firmware". Therefore you can download and flash ANY VD1 firmware, because it's the exact same thing, no matter which carrier it's from
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] FAUguy:
Is there any possible way to get the AT&T N975U (not U1) firmware version VD1 uploaded to Android Host Files so I can do a full flash of it?

The only reason I went to the N975U1 VD1 was because the phone was stuck on VA1 since February

1) Thank you for clearing that up about the OYZ. I had downloaded from SamMobile several VD1 versions (ATT, TMO, Xfinity, XAA) and they all had that 1.4GB Home CSC OYZ version in the zip file. That is why last night I started to look for (other sites) to download from, and got the VD1 from them, which contained the smaller 111MB OYM CSC file. All I had to do was just flash the single Home CSC OYM in ODIN to the phone, and it restored the Software Update being shown in settings.

2) Yes, I understand that all "U" firmware versions are the same, and the same is true for "U1". That the only difference on the U versions is the Home CSC and Userdata file.

In your opinion what do you think I should do? Right now the phone is working with the U1 VD1 firmware, which means that it's in "unlocked" mode, so the AT&T branded features and video calling is not working. What I'd like is to have the phone back on ATT "U" but with VD1, and I'm not sure how to get there since no one shows that combination available for download. This is what SamMobile has for the N975U VD1:

So if I were to download one of them, such as TMB would that work since you said the 4 base files within U firmwares are identical, just don't do Userdata. I'm not sure if the TMB Home CSC would cause issue? Also I'd still need the ATT VD1 Userdata?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Yep

Need to use regular CSC in order to go from U1 to U

Nope
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] FAUguy:
So I downloaded the N975U TMB VD1 firmware and flashed it, but DID use the Home CSC just to see what would happen, as I've been using Home CSC during this flashing adventure the past few days and all my data and settings have remained intact.

After it flashed, it showed the ATT boot logo, and all my apps, files and settings were still there (from using the home CSC). So I actually didn't need to use the regular CSC to go from U to U1, or U1 to U. I just used the HOME CSC and it kept all my data .

Now the real question is if the OTA updates will start working again with ATT, as the phone was stuck on VA1 since Feb.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
They must have changed something recently then, because that didn't use to be the case. Good to know.

If AT&T gets VD1 officially, then yes, OTAs should work
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] FAUguy:
I guess I'll know next month or two if this N975U ATT VD1 gets whatever the next update OTA or not. At least ODIN flashing would be an option. I'm just not sure if it's best to be the the "U" VD1 that I was running yesterday since "U" seems gets the updates usually quicker, or the ATT "U1" VD1 I'm using now which supports the ATT features.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Revival1:
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen.

I just got the note 10+ from an online store in Nigeria, Africa. The model no is SM-N975U. It is unlocked and I can use my SIM on it. I think it is an Hongkong device though, since the pamphlet refers to it.

And it runs Android 11, no OTA.

Please, I want to know if it will be possible to update manually. I was planning to return the phone, but if the manual update is possible, I'll keep it and learn to do it.

I plan to still read the OP and other threads for newbies like me. But I just need to know if it can be updated.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] NaijaNiMi:
Sup bro, yes you can manually update sm-975u.

That's what I also did, you'd need to look for the firmware for SM-975U1 . It works like a charm.

Let me know if you can take it from there, I am too lazy to start looking for the links I used but if you are stumped I can try to search for them.

Make sure you use the right version of odin.

I think this thread has all the info you need, plus doing a search on youtube should get you the right steps to take as well.

Thanks.

Edit

==========

I finally compiled this, use this steps at your own risk, but don't worry should be fine.

Get the latest firmware

https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-N975U1/XAA

use odin and follow this video

Important : If you are changing firmware use odin patch

refer to this video for how it looks, it basically should have "B" in the name

Odin3 v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD - I got this for xda

https://xdaforums.com/t/patched-odin-3-13-1.3762572/

if you are not changing firmware but just upgrading, you can use the normal odin from that link

- remove the things that video tells you to remove

- use odiin patch

- frija

- https://xdaforums.com/t/n975u-and-n975u1-firmware-links-here.3957648/page-102

- N975U + OYN isn't a valid model + CSC combination. And you want N975U1 anyways.

What you need to enter is N975U1 + XAA

2. Yes, you would flash all 4 files, excluding USERDATA

Sorry to bump this thread, but I recently ordered an unlocked Note 10+ that was listed as an Xfinity phone.

I spent some time researching here the steps needed to flash the firmware to Verizon.

Just to test the phone out, I put my verizon SIM in and powered it on. It came up with a Tmobile splash screen and then gave me a message saying the phone would be reset and the Verizon software would be installed.

After the reboot, the phone came up with Verizon branding and bloat.... Wifing calling seems to work. Dont see video calling, but it seems like it got turned into a Verizon phone.

Basically..... do I need to flash firmware. According to this, it does it automatically now.

Move your Galaxy phone to a different service carrier

If you unlock your phone to use with another carrier, it's easy to take advantage of all your new carrier's features without losing any of your data.

www.samsung.com
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
That option didn't exist/work on early versions of the firmware, so manual conversion was necessary. If the phone does the conversion on its own, then no, you don't need to worry about doing anything manually

You can use HOME CSC as long as the U1 version that you're flashing is the exact same, or newer, than the current version

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] matti88:
"Thanks" don't pay the bills. So developers have no reason to work for "thanks".

I haven't seen any free bootloader unlock method for this model, but I don't frequent the forums for this model. So you can try looking in the main section
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Fly-n-High:
SW should be free. Open source is very common and if you are any good at what you "devop," then opportunities for money come by results.

If I got paid for my advice, I'd be well off. Teaching others builds connections and those are what brings in cash flow.

So "thanks" do matter. Ever heard of Git? GNU?

Those developers seem to make plenty in their other projects.

So capitalizing solves little in a bigger picture.

Software IS free.

Hundreds of hours of labor isn't.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Fly-n-High:
As an applications engineer it's all labor. I wish hours of labor in sw development didn't cause me so much of that time fixing it.

I just want a freebie, that's it.

Sounds like you didnt register the sim on the network when you were on the U1 Rom first. WHen I got to the SIM activation screen the only thing it did was tell me my sim was already registered. You should be registering the sim on the U1 firmware not the U. SO it should tell you that its already registered and have a "next" option in the bottom right hand corner.
