Sorry to bug you again, just getting around to doing this as I haven't had the time to mess with it.

Just curious why I wouldn't use the file named N986USQS2DUIC TMB ... looks like the file sizes are the same for this and the first file on post 2? Is USERDATA not needed? I thought that it was to get the carrier specific features. Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
No problem at all, ask any time!

DUJA is the latest TMB release

The CSC gives you the carrier features.

If the download has the USERDATA file, flash it too
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] BranBro365:
I get that. I actually flashed my OnePlus 7 Pro from the TMO version to International and was thinking of flashing my N20U, but tbh I'm not really sure what the benefits are. I do see it's possible but could you explain to me what the benefits will be? Will I get regular updates faster instead of waiting longer for AT&T to release them, will I get Android 12 faster again instead of having to wait for AT&T to release their version? The one major factor for me flashing my 7 Pro to international was that it got rid of the TMO bloatware and I received updates faster, so will that also be the case if I flash my AT&T N20U?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] DevVorteX:
Samsung and US carriers are super weird about updates. I thought I'd get updates faster being on the U1 firmware, but sometimes, AT&T has it first.

I'd assume with android 12 coming out, unlocked will get that officially first since AT&T isn't on the beta and they probably need more time to solidify their bloat.

A few things about just jumping on the beta though, it is a beta, so things can be a bit off. GPay doesn't work because it's unofficial firmware currently. Netflix doesn't work for the same reason.

And just going from AT&T to unlocked, VOLTE still works, visual voicemail works, tethering works, the only thing that I feel I lost is AT&T's video calling and AT&T advanced messages, which both only work between AT&T users with Samsung phones anyway, so I never used them. I use DUO for most video calls, and I've used google messages for texts since they added RCS.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Venom0642:
AT&T is on there own private Beta .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] DevVorteX:
I thought I saw something about that. what does that even mean? Like can regular consumers join, or is it 100% internal testing?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Venom0642:
No meaning AT&T themselves are on beta testing, not for public.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dj24:
I have actually been impressed with at&t since they have have been pushing updates much quicker before t-mobile and the other carriers including samsung for its own U1 devices. This was never the case before.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dallen5:
Can you flash U firmware on U1 phone?

I have a Samsung Note 20 ultra, from the Verizion network of the USA, and in July this year I updated to their new patch and for now no one can unlock it for me so I can use it on another network in Europe, is there an unlock for this N986USQU2DUF2
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dj24:
Sim or bootloader unlock?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Goggggi:
I honestly don't understand, but if you ask me if a SIM card asks for a code, the answer is no, it doesn't ask for a code, the lock is in the background, it actually recognizes another SIM card for two minutes and then behaves as if it doesn't exist. does not recognize.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] DevVorteX:
A July patch seems pretty old at this point, the note has gotten monthly updates as far as I know.

Is the phone fully paid off?

Did you purchase it from Verizon?

Typically if you buy your phone through a carrier, once it's paid in full, you can contact them to have it "carrier unlocked" or "sim unlocked". I know AT&T has an online form you just fill out with your account info and the phone's IMEI number, then a day or so later, they email you a code to enter on the phone to finish the unlock process.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Goggggi:
yes I know, the phone isn't paid in full, and Verizion doesn't want to unlock it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] DevVorteX:
Yeah, that's gonna make it harder. They have to unlock it when you request as long as it's fully paid off. Besides there, there's some online services that claim to do it, but you usually have to pay a fee and provide them with your IMEI. I've never tried because they all seem a little sketchy and giving some random site your IMEI is usually not a great idea.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Goggggi:
yes, it won't work through Verizion, I used to unlock phones through one site, and just like this, they access the online phone via Odin and route it, but now it can't because it has been updated to a new patch and for months no one has a solution to unlock , I thought maybe someone here knows something about it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
That would be illegal so this won't be the right forum to ask about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Goggggi:
it is illegal to sell something to someone and then you do not allow him to use the device you sold him, I agree maybe the company's policy is that the device is not charged, as in this case, but there are institutions that deal with it and charge, so more illegal things there are according to users, but I understand what you mean.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dj24:
Again, you're not very clear about your motives.. If you're travelling through Europe and you have an existing account that's current with Verizon, you can request a temporary unlock through them. If otherwise, I don't think anyone here will be able to help you and you also have a higher chance of finding your phone blacklisted and other possible legal issues if/once you're back State Side.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Goggggi:
I bought the phone from a friend, who took it through Verizion, to use it in Europe, or the USA, regardless of the European card, it's not the first time I've done so, the phone will never be blacklisted because it was not stolen, just not paid , and probably Verizion will sooner or later charge him in its own way through American institutions, so I don't have my account with them so I can unlock it, and even if I did, they wouldn't unlock it because it wasn't paid, again, and it's a question of whether legally on their part, I’m a third party and I paid someone something, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
Technically Verizon still "owns" the device regardless of where you got it since you're friends still owes them money for it. Your life would have been easier if they had taken the money you paid them, and paid Verizon off.

Unfortunately, you're locked into your friends agreement with Verizon

Hi, i have an att 20 unlocked on SAOMC_SM-N986U_OYN_ATT_RR_0009ATT software. I would like to flash a non ATT firmware since i am on Tmobile. What should i flash and can i flash a android 12 beta firmware.?

thanks for the help.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dottat:
Your firmware should customize to whatever sim card you have installed. If it didn't you can do the csc change method to make it adapt to TMobile. That's would provide full carrier features like rich chat services etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] luis4040:
What firmware would you suggest?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dottat:
The firmware you are on...with the proper CSC in action. You should be able to change it without reflashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] luis4040:
ohh wow can you point me to a thread on that. I am new and read a little on CSC but mine was giving me an error. Thanks again.

Are you on the carrier based firmware or not ?

yes i am on ATT based firmware but the CSC command doesnt work :(.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dottat:
You are probably going to have to follow the next steps in that guide at this point to attempt to retrigger the adaptation.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
If you haven't already, back up (unless you don't care if you lose anything). Things can always go a little sideways and the device could wipe

I just OTA to N986U1UES2DUK2, and still have no "Call background". Originally, I changed to Unlocked firmware XAA, and I am not sure does it make any different. I need to install with full wipe?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
Yes, I'm on Unlocked and ATT and have the call background
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
That could be your issue. I'm listed as being on ATT/ATT/ATT. Do some searching for how to get off of XAA, I don't remember off the top of my head how to get back to it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] waichai:
mine is also listed ATT/ATT/ATT. somehow i don't see call background. What I mean XAA is I download XAA firmware off from sammobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] sean8102:
So I got my Note 20 Ultra 5G from AT&T. I flashed it over to the U1 firmware shortly after I got it (so months ago). I've never had a problem with it. I decided to check out the Android 12 beta. Flashing it went perfectly fine. I'm on Beta 3.

However I'm having issues with Netflix and Hulu. Neither will appear in the play store if I search for them. Since Netflix is preloaded and launching it gives a message to update it I can get to it's play store page that way. When I do I get this message.

After some Google serching I decided to download a app to test "SafetyNet" status of my phone and it's saying it failed. Here are the results.

Anyone else that has flashed a US carrier model N20 Ultra 5G to U1 and then flashed the beta experience this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] sean8102:
Also U1 firmware N986U1UES2DUK2 isn't downloadable because it can't find any mirrors.

I'm going back to non beta firmware and really hope that will fix this. Currently downloading N986U1UES2DUJ7 and will just do OTA update to DUK2.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] DevVorteX:
Your on beta firmware. Netflix is protecting their content the same way Google pay won't work on the beta.

Once the official release is out, both should work with no problem.

At least that's how I understand it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dottat:
Yep that's pretty typical. Since it's beta they don't bother in getting each build certified. So it's as to be expected.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] sean8102:
Ok thank you guys, I wanted to make sure it's not just me.

Since Netflix and Hulu still work when I side load them I'll stay on the beta until the final release build comes out so I only have to wipe my phone one more time.

thanks again.

Looks like Samsung might be dropping the official Android 12 update to the S20 and N20 update to the European markets. According to SamMobile, it's started in Switzerland, but is the beginning. I suspect we'll see it in mid-Late Jan

Alright people, it's happening: Samsung is beginning to roll out the official Android 12 and One UI 4.0 update to ...

Just to confirm, the android 12 beta when you go to Connections-Sim card manager and choose Add mobile plan-Bring plan from old device, the only option is T-Mobile? I also see "Other service provider" which lets me choose US and lists T-mobile again, or Germany which lists Telekom Deutschland.

My service provider info lists VZW/VZW,VZW/XAA if it matters.

I ask because I used to check all the tested builds of the Note 9 on VZW via fota cloud (http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/VZW/SM-N960U/version.test.xml).

However, when I check and use SM-N986U instead of SM-N960U (http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/VZW/SM-N986U/version.test.xml), all of the fw builds come up as random numbers and letters. There aren't any fw builds listed like that of the Note 9 xml.

You are obviously the most educated on this situation. I have an ATT branded Note 20 Ultra 5G. I noticed there are new firmwares and updates since I last tried U1 Beta 3. Is the latest N986U Android 12 Carrier locked Beta or Stable One UI 4? Also, would you be able to PM so I could ask you a few quick questions. I promise not to keep bugging you. I'm tech savvy so won't need much help.

Also , can you educate me on what call background is and if any of these new updates will give me ATT Advanced Messaging. I liked Google Messages but at one point and time it drained both of our batteries like crazy so we switched when we went to a postpaid plan.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Venom0642:
Be ready i have a feeling AT&T for January Patch will be Android 12 since AT&T skipped December, usually that's how AT&T rolls.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
I TOTALLY agree
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
"You are obviously the most educated on this situation"

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

"Is the latest N986U Android 12 Carrier locked Beta or Stable One UI 4?"

There is no N986U Android 12, it's only N986U1, and it's still Beta

"Also , can you educate me on what call background is"

It is literally a modification to the background and layout for the Call Screen. There are only 2 options as far as the layout goes, but you can add a different video for your background
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
BTW if this is what your device updated to you're a LITTLE behind. That's the Aug 1 update

It's a bit hard to predict what the carriers might do, but I agree with @Venom0642 , I think it's coming soon. If I had to take a wild guess, MAYBE in the next couple weeks. That is a TOTAL guess though

Ah, okay. I appreciate the insight! You're right, just checked a few other models and they're all like that. I was looking to see how many different android 12 builds VZW has tested to on the N20 Ultra, to attempt to get a better idea of the progress on the stable OTA. Oh well, it should be here soon anyways. Thanks again for the heads up!

Hello man! I just read your post ..I have the note 20 ultra 5g from AT&T...

Sorry for my dump question, but

... can I still this U1 Beta 3? If yes...it's easy to do it?

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] DevVorteX:
First I'll say it might not be worth it at this time because the official release is just around the corner.

But, it's fun, so I won't stop you.

If you are on an ATT branded phone, you likely do not have the unlocked firmware installed. So you have to start there, you'll need to get the files for the U1 firmware N986U1UES2DUJ7, you can find it in post 2 I think. You flash that via odin.

After you have the U1 firmware, you can download and install that betas. If I'm not mistaken, you'll have to do Beta1, then Beta2, then Beta3 in order.

Since you are on ATT, if you don't want to wipe you phone, there's certain steps you need to take, While using odin, you have to pick the correct CSC file (I think it's HOME_CSC to not wipe). Then when you install the beta's in recovery, you'll have to be sure to follow the steps in post 3 to temporarily get your phone to believe it's not on ATT (remove sim, enter secret phone code, change csc)

Most of the details you'll need are in the first 3 posts on this thread.
