I first installed software from Frija.

My current baseband version is N986U1UEU1ATH3.--> in this UEU after U1, does it represent CPU as Exynos? how can I say, my phone has snapdragon or Exynos?

I am trying to download "N986U1UEU1ATI5 LINK USC/SPR/CCT/TMB" from the second post. I am trying N986U1.

To download, i am clicking on the link. then selecting the mirror. Then i am getting error as

Hmmm… can't reach this pageIt looks like the webpage at https://ava5.androidfilehost.com/dl...682942363/N986U1UEU1ATI5_USC/SPR/CCT/TMB.zip? might be having issues, or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE

It could be error on my side.

So part of the problem we have is that A&T are butts and don't specifically make their firmware's available, so when they go "off script" and release a firmware that doesn't align with the same build as the other carriers I can't get them. (AT&T's current stock is 1BTIF) So if you wanted to go onto Stock AT&T N986U (to retain wifi calling) you would need to flash N986USQU1ATH3 then let the system OTA which would get you to current. Unfortunately, you would need to wipe

I tried on Edge/chrome browser on my laptop with wifi connection

Samsung browser on my phone with wifi and LTE. Everytime, I am getting same error. I will try tomorrow morning and see, if it resolves the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
Unless you SPECIFICALLY went out looking for a Exynos device, completely put the idea of Exynos firmware out of your head. If you bought your device from a US carrier or directly from Samsung in the US you have a Snapdragon. By the fact your baseband is N986U1 says its Snapdragon. If it said N986F, or N9860, or N986B or a couple others then it would be an Exynos device and like i said, it's impossible to flash a Exynos firmware on a Snapdragon device and vice versa.

Let me double check on the link again
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
Yeah I'm having the same issue too. It might be on the AFH side. I can see the file and the DL link but the mirrors are barfing
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] atrix4nag:
ok

then I think i was confused. I was expecting baseband version to be N986U1SQ for snapdragon.. its my misunderstanding. there is nothing wrong with your links. sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
Yeah the U an U1 firmware is a bit confusing but you can look at them as the same, only the U1 is specifically "made" for the Unlocked versions which are basically the same as the carrier locked versions (U)

I do think you're right, I think AFH is messed up tonight. I was getting the same errors you did too. Even tried different mirrors. I'll try to upload a new copy tonight.

Oh and no need for apologies at all, it can be super confusing sometimes. Hell, [MENTION=4496829]butchieboy[/MENTION] has straightened my arse out a few times ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] naim1234:
But manual updating would always work correct? Even for major FW like android 11?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
Yeppers, it would (Should ;) )
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] naim1234:
And one final question.. so just to confirm I would download 2 firmwares and take the 3 files from one (at&t) and the home usc from the 2nd in order to manual?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
Yes, it's not something I mess with personally (there are others that know WAY more about it than I do). If you take a look though some of the previous posts, there are some specifics for you to be 100%

I have an unlocked Note 20 Ultra and also on T-Mobile... usually I stick to the unlocked u1 firmwares w/ TM csc as I don't use any of T-Mobile's features... Still debating which route to go with... I know all the firmwares base are the same, but now with 5G and all I just want to make sure there isn't anything goofy on the back end (csc) to where it would hinder the connection at all.. (carrier aggregation).

Hmm...decisions decisions...

So yesterday 8/19/2020 my wife and I received our Note 20 Ultra Unlocked for use on Tmobile. I've downloaded bot Sammobile and the firmware in this thread but when I odin either files I don't get the Tmobile boot screen or the Tmobile app. Any know why? We ordered unlocked Note 20 Ultra's for flexibility but while we're happy with Tmobile we want their software and all their goodies. I've tried flashing both CSC files and the Tmobile user data file but still it acts as just a regular unlocked device. Any ideas? We want the features Tmobile offers we pay for.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
Are the SIMs activated on TMB network?

When you flash in Odin, what files are you populating in Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] streetracer8605:
Yes, the SIM's are activate on T-Mobile. I'm flashing the BL, AP, CP, CSC (and I tried the CSC Home File), and the Userdata. I did this on my Unlocked Note 10+'s and had full t-mobile functionilty with a T-Mobile splash screen at startup. I've tried all the files with and without the CSC Home File and can't seem to get it. I'm probably overlooking something but it's just not happening for me. They connect to T-Mobile's network and work, but I'm not getting the T-mobile splash screen, T-Mobile app, or other T-Mobile functions.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kwd114:
I am having the same issue. This is with the firmware downloaded from Frija. Even after flashing it still says XAA/XAA/XAA, although the model number did change from U1 to U I believe. I wonder if the package that Frija is downloading is still generic??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
Well that is a little baffling.

Edit: I'll see if I can find anything on this. I'll take a look at the USERDATA file and see if I can locate anything there. Also... Which firmware did you download?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] streetracer8605:
Yeah, I'm scratching my head over this because on my Note 10+ it worked just fine. I've downloaded the TGM and TH4 from here, and I've downloaded TGM and TH3 from SamMobile. Flashed all the files from each and not one gave me the Tmobile splash screen or the Tmobile app
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kwd114:
And I can confirm this as well. Both on a Note 20 Ultra and a stand Note 20 as well.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] mm60:
I have a similar issue with Verizon. Got the unlocked Note 20 Ultra, flashed N986USQU1ATH3_N986UOYN1ATH3_VZW and am seeing the Service Provider SW ver. as XAA/XAA/XAA. no Verizon boot screen or advanced calling option to turn on HD calling. Am about to try flashing N986USQU1ATH3_N986UOYN1ATH3_VZW. Have not tried the userdata file yet. Am hoping that the issue was a mismatch between the U firmware and the U1 model and that the U1 file allows the Verizon features to be enabled.

Note: Just tried to flash with N986USQU1ATH3_N986UOYN1ATH3_VZW and got an “FAIL! SHA256 is invalid!”. Did some digging around and see talk of using a Patched and Modified Odin to get around this (link below). Any ideas on the reliability of this process? Don't want to brick a $1300 device so soon :) I cant post links yet, but you can search for this one: technastic.com/odin-download-samsung-latest-all-versions/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hpnerd524:
I had this same issue and it drove me nuts. What I ended up doing is re-flashing the unlocked (U1) firmware it came with originally, which I got on Frija, and booted up the phone with my active T-Mobile SIM. I went through the initial setup, and at one point the phone told me it needed to apply carrier settings and reboot. I let it reboot and then powered it back down. Then I flashed the U firmware again with the T-Mobile userdata and everything and that did the trick. I got the splash screen, their custom network indicators and all that stuff. Also, I used the Modified/patched ODIN linked on the first page of this thread, Odin3_v3.13.3b. Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dottat:
This ---^^^^ has always been the case. Everyone always forgets and jumps right to flashing firmware out of the box when it needs that sim card setup while on u1 to get it customized first.

Nevermind.........it was late.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Edit - Never mind reading below as I just saw was already addressed by others. My bad for giving duplicate solution back to sleep.

You don't have exynos version. You can download the ATID firmware for U1 from the post 2 that Kangi26 has kindly posted, alternatively since this is an unlocked variant, in Frija in the csc field type USC and download new firmware you will get something that ends in ATID.. Flash it. Use home_csc file from the package that you will download when using Frija. If you use Home_CSC you won't lose your data (the phone won't be factory reset) and then you will be on October patch.

Hi guys, Looking for some help with my Note 20 Ultra, I bought it off Ebay here in the UK and having problems with it and especially with the firmware:

Firstly it came in a box marked as a N986B/DS e.g the UK version

However in the system information screen it shows some really weird results

Firstly Serial and IMEI dont match the box (red flag number 1)

Number 2 the Model is showing as SM-986U I think which is the USA version?

Even more bizarrely is under

Baseband version I have:

N9750ZSU1ASGS

Build Number:

PPR1.180610.011.N9750ZSU1ASGS

Both of these seem to be a Note 10? not the 20 Ultra which is what I have in my hand? Has someone simply flashed the wrong software to this?

Hi there,

Thanks all for your replies, It isdefinitely the correct back and camera that is on it I will attach proper pictures shortly and I agree the screen does not look correct at all.

Unfortunatley I cannot get it into download mode, When I hold down the two volume buttons and plug the USB in Odin doesnt detect it and the bootloader menu that comes up is all in chinese and the top says "Factory Testing Menu"

Is this some sort of very early mock up of the phone? Either way it is not genuine and I will be returning it but how do they even get note 10 software on there? However does have an SPEN

Pictures up shortly

I have the Verizon model. If you have the unlocked model you will need to flash to BTIB and then update to BTJ2 in order to get nationwide 5G
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] *Detection*:
Watch the YouTube video I posted above, the fake Note 20 Ultra on the video is running the same firmware version yours says it is running, the screen looks the same curved shape too

I'd put my bets on that being the device you have

Have you tried using all 3 cameras? The fake only has a single 12MP camera, the others on the back are not real

Fingerprint sensor does not work, any finger will open it

S-Pen does not click when taking it out, does not have a button (just looks like it), is just a piece of metal with a rubber tip not the real tip

Spelling mistakes in the S-Pen settings screen

8GB storage although it says 512GB

1GB RAM

Very small mAh battery around 2800 he thinks

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] droidrev71:
Thanks for the info. I've been out of the flashing scene for a few years now. Odin is a simple flashing tool but I don't feel like being stuck having to manually update.

I guess I was misunderstanding the unlocked phone's compatibility with carriers 5G. I thought the unlocked phone would work on Verizon. I guess I'll need to decide once I'm recovered from surgery.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] znel52:
It should work eventually with an update I imagine. Otherwise, there would be no reason to include the 5g hardware in unlocked models. The carrier variants will get it first though. The update for unlocked might take a little longer.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] MatroxD:
oohhhhh.. I was wondering about this exact thing myself. I also have an unlocked that I'm using with a Verizon 5g sim and on their network..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] droidrev71:
That's what I was thinking when I originally bought the unlocked version. I read it'll work on all of the carriers 5g. I really hope it's just an ota update and we'll be good to go.

I was looking in the OnePlus 8 pro section and a member said Verizon is sending that phone an update for 5g connectivity. So I'll just sit tight and wait for the updates.

I'm on FirstNet (ATT First Responder Network) and accidentally bought an unlocked variant. I have it running the latest U1 OTA. I'm not super excited about the Idea of buying a whole different phone to resolve relatively minor issues.

I read the posts from September and I'm a little confused.

You can just flash the full regular U software. I would recommend putting an att sim in first so the phone customizes to att before you even flash the U software though.
