excellent post I have some questions, how could I have a completely clean N976U version, is there any firmware that is not with any operator? or can i install version u1 of 975n?

I recently tried to install the tmb version of n976u att but when it starts it doesn't load that version and it still continues in ATT that I'm flashing bl, ap, cp, csc, what am I doing wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Not possible. No unbranded firmware exists for this model
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JapAnEEzE:
Can I put the 976(5g) on the 975U?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] scottusa2008:
The answer hasn't changed since you last asked it.

(in other words it is still no)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] fncd:
Thank you for the link, it helped out more than you know. I have an unlocked N976U (originally on AT&T) that I tried to flash to T-Mobile. And for whatever reason, it didn't work. The phone kept telling me sporadically that there was no sim card installed, and the phone was trying to connect to service using CDMA instead of GSM. As you can guess, that doesn't work.

Considering that Samsung only sells one model of the Note 10+ 5G in the states, and that same model supports three different 5G networks, I have no idea why I cannot get this thing to work. I've never had a problem with a flash before (S9 / S10), but until I went back to the firmware above, I had zero network access. Currently the CSC shows XAA/XAA/ATT. While I know that the last one is the product code and will never change, the first two (XAA/XAA) should be able to be changed to TMB. The Dialer code that I attempted to use *#272*IMEI# Doesn't work either.

Any ideas on what I can try to get this thing up and running on T-Mobile with their branding and what not?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Did you flash all 5 files, including USERDATA? Did it perform a factory reset?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] fncd:
It did in fact flash all 5 files from the TMB download that I had found. That is where all of my troubles began. Prior to that I wiped the phone, went into recovery, wiped it again and then rebooted to the boot loader. The first time I did it, the phone didn't even know what the IMEI was. It wasn't until I flashed the AT&T firmware that the IMEI came back. As it stands now, most everything is working, except that I'm still on the December patch and it doesn't find updates. I got it working around 2am last night using the older AT&T flash (SL3_1), so this evening I'm going to grab the N976U_TA4_1.zip from AFH that you posted and see what happens there.

I am totally clueless as to how all of the craziness occurred.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
What source did you get the firmware from? It sounds less-than-reputable, if it made your phone act that way afterwards
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] fncd:
I found the build numbers on the web, but downloaded the actual files with SamFirm. I didn't see any of the TMB builds on XDA, so google became my friend (or enemy in this case).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Did it boot up with the T-Mobile logo and all other T-Mo bloatware?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] fncd:
No. The phone never booted with the T-Mo logo. In fact, even now it boots with the Samsung logo.

I'm guessing that the XAA/XAA/ATT is what is causing that to happen.

If the phone were more popular it would be easier I think to find the firmware numbers and guarantee that I have the right one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Well SamFirm will only ever give you 100% correct official firmware, so as long as that's where you got it from, there shouldn't be anything wrong with it. You could try re-downloading it just in case, but I would have expected Odin to flag the md5 if it was an issue of a corrupted download, etc.

Not getting the T-Mobile bloat (assuming that you flashed all 5 files) is definitely strange.

Before you flashed anything, did you ever insert a T-Mobile SIM and see if it prompted you to restart to apply new carrier settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] fncd:
So here's the thing. The first time I ever inserted my T-mo sim, I got a message about settings, and the phone restarted. It still wasn't T-mo branded, nor did it have any of the bloat (I think that is expected, no?). No other time did it ever ask me, even after being completely wiped. However, after the subsequent installs and wipes, I always had my sim in it.

Odin never threw an error, but of course, that doesn't stop me from potentially downloading the wrong firmware for my device, correct? But in reading your first post, the firmware should all be interchangeable, so I have no idea what caused it to want to see CDMA instead of GSM. Or the super wonky IMEI issue.

I'm on the way home now and will try it again, knowing that I still have the ATT firmware saved in case something goes wrong.

I'll also make sure that the build numbers I found are indeed from the N976U, but I don't see how that could have been wrong. One question just to be sure... The region code for samfirm that I need to use would TMB, yes? Is there anywhere I can go to make sure I AM using the right build? I could only find the numbers with google.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Yes, that's the correct region. You can flash any valid build that you want, but SamFirm will always only give you whatever the newest/latest version is.

When you first inserted the T-Mo SIM, did it remove the AT&T apps and bloatware?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] fncd:
When I first got the phone, it had the ATT ringtones on it, but I never noticed the boot screen being ATT. After the flash though, those were (and are) completely gone. And when I first put my sim in there, I didn't see any ATT apps on it at all.

Edit: Should have noted that I bought it used, but did confirm with AT&T that it was paid off and unlocked by them, but is it possible that the previous owner removed the apps with the *#2xxxxxx# code change? (he did claim to have worked for Samsung recently before moving to my area to another tech company...who knows if that's true or not). Unfortunately I couldn't get that code to do anything. Shrug.

Looking at your page here: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=developers&did=4128

It looks like another user posted the T-Mobile flash for January. At least I know (or believe I know) that that will be another trusted source. I'm downloading that now in the hopes that it has the userdata and such in the zip as well. I will flash that over in just a few minutes and see what shakes out.

---------- Post added at 01:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------

Update: So here is where things get super weird and really have me wondering what is going on with this thing. If I try to flash the latest (march) TMB firmware, the phone boots and doesn't get signal (CDMA mode). If I reset the phone and then flash the latest ATT firmware (on AFH, I think it's February), the phone works perfectly, but still no ATT customization. So. If it holds true that the 4 base files are the same, then the only thing that can be causing that is something in the newer TMB userdata / csc files, right? As those are the only differences.

All of this being said and carrier bloat aside, the phone says it's on LTE+ right now, but the download speeds (according to ookla) are over 200mb (20Mb) / sec. Which, according to Venturebeat is the speed of T-Mobile's 600Mhz 5G service, which is plastered all over my area.

Long story short - As long as I'm flashing ATT Userdata / CSC, then the phone operates normally - though I won't get updates until I can get that XAA/XAA/ATT changed to ATT/ATT/ATT. Flashing any other Userdata / CSC after December 2019 causes issues with the radio.

I do appreciate all of your help, and while my post count is non-existent, I have done my homework as best I can before posting (constant lurker) :D

To be able to change XAA / XAA / ATT you must use samkey to buy 3 credits and change the csc to ATT or TMB if you want it to be t mobile
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] p3r1k0:

well i post this just to let people be careful when using the *#272* imei code
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Was there anything that was broken or missing on the phone, after you changed it using the code? Were there any functions that did not work?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] darrincalves:
No luck for me

For most devices, Tmobile even has in their forums how to flash to a different carrier. However, their directions require you to flash the "unlocked" version of the phone (XAA) first, then the carrier specific firmware to change it over. For the Note 10+ 5G, there is no unlocked version. Samkey lists the 5G as not supported. I have tried a flashing a few different ways to move my ATT version to Tmobile, and it always boots with ATT even after Odin saying it was flashed successfully.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
You've flashed all of the T-Mobile firmware including the USERDATA file?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] darrincalves:
Cross flashing

Yes, about 3 weeks ago, not with the latest firmware, and it still boots with ATT Logo and bloatware. ODIN completed with no errors. I assume there is something that protects USERDATA from cross flashing. I am able to use update my ATT device using TMB firmware using the HOME_CSC, skipping the USERDATA.

Here is a link to TMobile Forum post that talks about having to use patched ODIN, first flashing the XAA firmware, before cross-flash to another carries. However, for the 5G (976U) there is no XAA version.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tyrone1:
The people who have xaa is caller ID and spam protection in the call settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tyrone1:
Just my experience I wanted to share. Bought an att n976u and wanted to switch to t mobile. I flashed the latest TMB firmware and userdata. Surprisingly when it rebooted it was stuck on att/att/att. Did the *#272*xxxx# code and was able to change it to TMB/TMB/att. I was able to confirm you can go back and forth between TMB att with*#272*imei#.

I suspect the att and TMB userdata are the same.

I saw xaa but didn't want to try because others said you can get stuck.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sgwolf:
Do I need to flash with tmobile firmware first before do the *272*#imei# change? because there is and option in the *#272* screen it said install! i have 976u from att but I got a last update like 4 days ago and I have network problem seen then! have a circle instead of bars but if I downgrade it work perfect but it force me to update today and disable the network again.

I will appreciate any help

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tyrone1:
You trying to use it on tmobile? Then yes I'd flash the TMobile firmware. Then do the *#272* code.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sgwolf:
I got this one too! but after that I have no network and I have to downgrade to early version to work, but today it force install it and again have no network is no bars only a circle and that it!!

do you have any problems?

Uhhhh why wouldn't you use SamFirm/Frija...?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tyrone1:
What you mean a circle can you post a screen shot? Is your IMEI in tact still?

Have you tried *#band# to see what bands are active? Also what is your csc? Att/att/att or tmb/tmb/att?

Added USERDATA for build TE2, for those who might want to be on a newer version. This build is also available for T-Mobile, so the rest of the files can be obtained via SamFirm/Frija, and other sources
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] d.cortez:
Thanks for sharing. I manually updated to TE2 a couple of weeks ago without USERDATA; do you know if there's anything different in this version of USERDATA that's worth updating on our devices?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Are you saying that you were running AT&T firmware and manually flashed the TE2 Odin files, but not USERDATA?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] d.cortez:
correct, I was running the prior version of AT&T firmware and I flashed the TE2 Odin files for AP, CP and BL only. is my phone going to blow up now, lol?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
No, but you should always flash CSC too.

I don't know what the differences are in the USERDATA. But it'll wipe your phone if you flash it, so don't do that if you don't want it wiped

Samkey says the phone is not supported. Do you know which model you used to get it to work?

---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 PM ----------

Just went for it. For anyone thats wondering You don't need a device model for it to work. Just picks it up on its own.

Here's what I did

Make sure ADB will work. Drivers installed, etc.

Buy 3 credits from ebay (you only use one but I think 3 is the minimum. I was confused because I thought I had to change each CSC in tha XAA/XAA/ATT to TMO. Not the case)

Download the SamKEY tool

Install the SamKEY tool

Enabled debugging on your device.

Start the SamKEY tool

Log into SamKEY tool with the credentials you get from the seller

Plug in the phone (make sure debugging is enabled)

Enter TMB or ATT or whatever CSC you're trying to set in the "Change SCS (buyer)" field.

Click change CSC

It will do a few things and reboot twice

You should be good to go after the second reboot. There should be a message int he SamKEY software that states CSC changed or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] scottusa2008:
Pretty sure the answer is no.

You can only flash the N975U with N975U1 firmware or flash N975U1 with N975U firmware.

BTF4 for T-Mobile is available now with July 2020 security patch. I used the file from Frija (also available on SamMobile) to update my ATT Note 10+ 5G.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xd3nni5x:
Hello. Current build of my N976U phone is N976USQS1ATA6 which seems like from February 2020.

This will be the first time I will be doing a manual update of firmware.

I have a AT&T unlocked version and currently using in Singapore with TPG Sim card.

1. Could I use the latest firmware from July to update my N976U?

2. If I will not include the USER file it will not flash my current setup on the phone?

3. After firmware upgrade, does it retained the unlocked of the phone and can still use different SIM card?

4. Could Iuse any other USB to upgrade the firmware (not the Samsung usbc cable since my computer does not have USBC)?

I already backed-up my phone thru Smart Switch and downloaded the the latest update from SamMobile.

TIA.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
1. Sure

2. I don't understand the question

3. If the phone was SIM unlocked properly, then that won't be affected

4. Your computer doesn't have to have a USB C port. You can use a cable that has USB A on one end, and USB C on the other end
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xd3nni5x:
Sorry. I'm also kinda confused on what is USER file is. So correct me if I'm wrong. USER file is to install latest apps from AT&T?

I have now the	N976UOYN3BTF4 from SamMobile. and 3.13.4 version of Odin.

so after firmware upgrade. My phone will still be unlocked. I just need to attach the following files in Odin

AP (System &Recovery)

BL (Bootloader)

CP (Modem / Radio)

HOME_CSC_*** (Country / Region / Operator)

I will use HOME_CSC to retain my current phone setup. Right?

Is there anything that I missed as I'm about to update the fimrware now. Thanks everyone for the help.

I think we are having the same type of phone. I am in Malaysia with the May 2020 patch.

Did you download the July patch N976UOYN3BTF4 using the TMK or TMB? I believe the 4 base files are the same, excluding the USERDATA, right?

Did you manage to retain your phone data without wiping it?
