You should use odin 3.13b to flash U1's ATH3 BL, AP, CP and U ATH3 CSC. The U will give you ATT specific features (wifi calling, video calling). I know because I flashed U1 ATH3 BL, AP, CP, and CSC and only got Samsung boot logo. Once I did it with the U ATH3 CSC, I got back ATT boot logo and the ATT features. This was done without SIM card in the ATT phone.

---------- Post added at 02:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 AM ----------

It is because the UATH3 unlocked FW posted is exactly the same as U1 ATH3 FW. Hence if you only flash U1 files you will not get ATT features.

Hello everyone! I'm new to all this myself and would really

appreciate any help or advice. I just received an unlocked Galaxy Note Ultra from Samsung. I am in the US.

I did not realize that I wouldn't have Visual Voice-mail, HD Calling, and a host of other Verizon specific features. Is it possible at this point to flash a ROM which would enable/ install the Verizon specific features? I read through this entire thread and am at a loss as to what specific steps or firmware I should download and flash.

I'm not entirely sure from what I've read if this is even possible with Verizon as my carrier?

Can this be done, or do I need to return this phone and re order a Verizon specific one? (Hoping i don't have to do this)

Branded ATT Phone somehow Switched to Unbranded

Digging deeper into the issue I am having using core ATT Features like Wifi Calling --- I discovered today that when I look at Software in Settings, the phone lists XAA/XAA/ATT as my service provider.

However, it should be saying "ATT/ATT/ATT or something close to that.

As a result, ATT System views my phone as an unbranded Samsung Device. This must have happened when I was flashing yesterday. During a flash, I had an issue where the phone froze up and I had to restart the flash - when the phone booted up after completing that flash, it was not branded as an ATT device and nothing I do has been able to switch it back. (and I have tried everything suggested here, and a bunch of other things)'

Is there anything else I can do or do I need to contact Samsung? This is without a doubt a Branded ATT Phone - but it certainly is not behaving as one any more. Help please? (if you can)

Screen shot to show what I am talking about (I took a screen shot from my S20 Ultra to show what it should look like - (2nd Screen shot below)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
Yeah, sorry [MENTION=8285038]Geekser[/MENTION] I dont have any other ideas on how you can resolve this one. I thought by going back to U1 then to U would fix it but apparently that didnt help. I'm not sure what else to try

Help getting Verizon features on unlocked Note Ultra

Does anyone here have any advice for me as to what files to flash in order to get Verizon features on an unlocked Note Ultra?

I see discussion here about U and U1 and I don't see both flies posted.

I also don't see anything specifically for Verizon. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! I'm new to all this and just trying to make sure it's even possible, all the while not bricking my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Geekser:
I appreciate the help - and no, nothing has worked. Very odd - but what is really odd is that it seems that there is a way to convert a phone from being a Branded ATT DEVICE (ATT/ATT/ATT) into an Unbranded Samsung device (XAA/XAA/ATT) that is the essence of what happened. I just wish there was a way that I could Switch it back to what it was orignally, (ATT/ATT/ATT)

anyway - I have packaged it up and started a warranty claim - asking Samsung for a return/Exchange. Considering it is within the 14 day period they should be able to do that without too many issues...hope so anyway. At the very least, they should be able to return it to the Branded ATT phone that it used to be.

Thanks again for your help.

VZW on the last one meant that the device is originally sold by VZW. Same with my device, it has TMB/TMB, TMB/XAA because my device is SM-N986U1 (directly unlocked from Samsung).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] moomoo4me:
Thanks for the reply. I have been busy and have not had time to check back. I just saw what Nuprotocol did. i was in the same boat. I am now on the U1 firmware. I am going to try it tonight. I hope it works cause when i make calls it drops to H+ now. I saw your reply on other as well. Is there any else I should be concern about. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] moomoo4me:
Thanks I just did it and the exact same thing happened to me. I was trying to do the same thing a month ago and it did not work. I think i did not reset the phone first. I endedd up going to the U1 firmware, but when I call my connection drops to H+. It was very frustrating. I dont know why Samsung does not make this process a bit more painless for the end user.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Jobudden:
Ok guys I have been out of the loop for the last few months. Which os version is recommended for the Verizon model. Having fast wireless charging issues with charges that used to work lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
The latest VZW OTA is DUE1 in post #2. That should get you OTA on the July Security update
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] rskyline:
Anyone got the July patch on ATT?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] moomoo4me:
I have not.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
Haven't seen anything on it yet
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] j3ffm1ll:
this is crazy but I have the VZW variant with verizon software and it shows DUE2 as my build number and only has June security patch
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] pimpmaneaton:
Yeah it would only have June patch. Verizon released DUE2 for their devices on June 9th.

Updating the AT&T carrier locked version now. Go and get it people.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] nuprotocol:
After flashing N986USQS2DUE1, does this firmware add the “Samsung Experience” to the phone? Meaning, depending on the activated sim card inserted after hard reset, the firmware for that carrier will load?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
It "should"
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] pimpmaneaton:
@kangi26 is this firmware N986U1UEU2DUF2 that's posted on SamMobile a good new U1 firmware? Posted for Puerto Rico but not sure if that matters or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] rskyline:
Saw the update yesterday on my GF's, is this the July update?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Venom0642:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] rskyline:
Woah, seriously thinking on coming back from u1 to u again lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Venom0642:
Also AT&T has been on a roll on the OTA it's been beating the U1 and all the other carriers with OTA updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] rskyline:
I've seen that, and all of that after I switched to u1. The only thing is that call protect doesn't work with my account for some reason so I use the native spam blocker on the dialer app on u1
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Nettwerk:
USC has july update as well. But what bloatware comes with USC firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Venom0642:
Not sure what bloatware that comes with if your phone is with USC, But if you on a carrier then it will do the bloatware for that carrier doesn't matter what firmware you would install, the sim card is what triggers the carrier bloatware on any firmware for that particular device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] znel52:
If it was a substantial update I would consider going to U but just for security patches no way. I'll just wait. Maybe Samsung will remember about the unlocked N20U soon lol.

They must be working hard getting that One UI 4.0 beta ready for us. ;) (just kidding)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
I am not seeing. If I am not wrong USC is equivalent of XAA basically U1 device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] butchieboy:
Whats up Venom. I see you and Kangi still holding it down. I may let my 20 update one of these days..lol still on 2.5
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Nettwerk:
Almost end of july and still no update for N986U1.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dj24:
Same for T-mobile U devices..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] rjohnstone:
AT&T loves to do that to U1 devices. Every once and a while they will just skip a month.

Are Verizon and Spectrum not getting an update this month? It's the last week of the month and nothing so far
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] rskyline:
Is happening to Unlocked variant on AT&T as well so you are not alone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
Sometimes the updates will come while into the next month. (July 1 Security can come in Aug)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] adj998:
New update today for Spectrum, DUF2.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:

I had a load of good lock updates this morning they are gearing up for 3.1.1 Maybe we get that Aug/Sep time-frame
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] ltmikepowell:
TMO probably skipping July patch..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] znel52:
One UI 4.0 beta is possibly only about a month away for S21 users in South Korea. We may not be waiting too much longer ourselves. I'm not saying it is imminent but maybe in a couple months.

Samsung announces One UI 4.0 beta (based on Android 12), Galaxy S21 trio is getting it first

The rumors were right, there will be no One UI 3.5. The beta program for version 4.0 is starting in Korea. The rumors were true – there is no One UI 3.5,...

www.gsmarena.com
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] znel52:
Meanwhile still no July update for unlocked N20U. I'm thinking at this point maybe our next update is 3.1.1. That's just a guess on my part but Samsung has been very good with updates so it is odd it is taking this long for one of their flagship units. They must be focusing their attention on 3.1.1. I could easily be wrong though lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dj24:
Dear Lord.. What's going on with XDA today? Stuttering, freezing and ads all over and between the screens that I thought my desktop was infested and was a goner until i run my antivirus and also checked for malware.. Anyone else seeing this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] rskyline:
Not seeing that
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dj24:
You're right. I rebooted and all looks fine now. Must've clicked on an ad that must've triggered it...

Now when are we going to see that damn t-mobile july update? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] toastido:
November 🙃
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] pimpmaneaton:
Well, start of July or at the very end I guess. Just got this Update on U1.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] rskyline:

Curious why you're still on 2.5... bootloader unlocked?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] butchieboy:
Yes I'm unlocked and rooted. There just minor things I do not like about 11...Android 10 is just fine so I figured why change. I don't get excited about security updates. I don't do any banking from my device. Just a personal preference. I know several that are still on 2.5
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] butchieboy:
And I try to get under Kangi and Venoms skin...lol with my lack of updating. Since they know I'm an old crusty dude🤣

What are some of the things you're getting and enjoying on your rooted bl unlocked device that you didn't before? Is native call recording one of the features?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] butchieboy:
Never used call recording ..never had reason too so its not a priority for me. And what I do may not be what someone else uses a rooted device for sooo its kinda different for everyone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] t12icky0:
My question is this, I have a note 20 ultra 5G Verizon. I flashed over the AIO firmware for the new update. I forgot to take my SIM card out and it still reads as Verizon under the CSC.

It's been awhile since I've done an Odin flash but I remember whenever you flashed a firmware it would change the CSC. Do I need to take my SIM card out first then flash the AT&t firmware or AIO firmware and then insert my SIM card again in order to change the Verizon CSC over to AIO/Att CSC?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
There is no "VZW" or "ATT" or "TMB" or whatever firmware's on these devices. (They are only listed in the OP to a specific carrier to ID the current one so folks will know if they will get OTA)

The SIM card is what will dictate the options installed when flashed with Odin. As long as the SIM is on an active network of course
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] t12icky0:
Ok, so I'm on the cricket network (AIO). The CSC still shows up as VZW/VZW/VZW after I did an Odin flash. So does CSC not change anymore after doing Odin flash?

@kangi26
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] moomoo4me:
I'm one of those that flash from verizon U over to att U firmware. I'm on DUE1 and I'm not getting OTA update. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
If you take a look 2 posts back you'll see that there is no such thing as "VZW/ATT" firmware.

Since DUE1 was the revision for both VZW and ATT, you're ok there. I might try to clear the cache and data for the 2 software update apps, reboot and check for uprates again
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] znel52:
August update out for unlocked
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] moomoo4me:
I looked and did not see the 2 software update apps. Can you point me to which one they are?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
Settings/Apps/Show System Apps (In "Filter and Sort")
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] moomoo4me:
I found the two apps. Cleared cache and rebooted. Still no luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
Then your best bet would be to manually flash the current firmware for your carrier
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] moomoo4me:
Thanks. That is what I was thinking as well. I hope that I can do OTA update in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] scoot05redss:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Nettwerk:
Ok good news. Hopefully we will receive shortly. But if for some reason still not come up I'll use computer. But I need advice. Anyone tried to flash from MacBook Pro M1 and from Windows 10 Pro ARM via Parallels Desktop?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Elastep:
What's going on with t-mobile patches for U1???? Is it some joke or what?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
Who knows. From the things I've seen in the past when there's a gap in updates they usually have major changes they are making
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
I flashed the unlocked version on my U1 with TMB Sim. The August Security Patch (DUG1). In Frija I used SMN986U1 and XAA for CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] adj998:
Hopefully Spectrum/Verizon release the August update soon, I hate having to switch between U/U1 just to be up to date on the security patches or anything new that's been released.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
IMO, it's not so critical to be on THE most current Security patch to move between the U and U1 firmware as they are released. If you're on U then wait till the release comes for it. They aren't typically more than a week or 2 apart.

Just pick one or the other based on whatever "features" you like best and just stick with that one. The updates WILL come.

Now if you're just bored and feel the need to flash? Well that's a different convo ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] adj998:
More of like an OCD thing. I'm still flipping out that my playstore update is still June lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Nettwerk:
For me still no update N986U1.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Nettwerk:
Ok strange things happen.

Finally I have update. Interesting just first update has july patch and after update when phone finished install it come up August update.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
Congrats?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hayabusa1300cc:
Yo, I just heard from the higher ups that June patch was the last patch for TMO U1
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] IamSirius:
You're kidding, right? My T-Mobile U1 is still on the June 1 patch.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hayabusa1300cc:
I am kidding yes, but this is more comforting to believe and deal with
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] IamSirius:
Not for me. I feel abandoned.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hayabusa1300cc:
A real time experience
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] IamSirius:
So, I have a question. My unlocked N986U1 with T-Mobile service is on firmware version N986U1UES2DUE1 (June 1, 2021) and hasn't updated since. If I switch carriers to AT&T, will the phone then update to the July and August updates?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hayabusa1300cc:
I believe so
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] IamSirius:
Maybe it's time for a change :cautious:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hayabusa1300cc:
TBH you could manually flash those updates, then flash back your carrier. Me personally they're just security updates, nothing major so I'm just going to wait it out
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] IamSirius:
Yeah, I've looked into that some, but I don't feel comfortable flashing my $1400 phone. Maybe I'll wait it out too. Lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
Only if TMB releases their update that shares the same build number
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] IamSirius:
So my originally unlocked phone is still tied to T-Mobile just because I chose their service?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
If you have an active TMB SIM installed, you're tied to them, if you moved to ATT, your SIM would tie you to them.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] IamSirius:
Thanks. That's what I thought. I think hayabusa referenced that too.

With T-mobile's recent abysmal record on security updates since the sprint merger and the recent hack they've barely acknowledged and getting around to, I'm starting to consider making some changes. I'm not ready to abandon their ship just yet (been with them 20+ years) but I'm seriously considering removing all my banking and credit card information from my U device for now...

Am I overreacting or is there a real risk when your carrier is getting hacked and you're stuck months behind on your security updates? I don't use virtual wallets like g-pay and strictly use passwords and swipe login method on the relevant apps.

Of course if the next update whenever that is includes the last dual sim like additional goodies then all will be forgiven :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Venom0642:

Well, my unlocked note 20 ultra is still on N986U1UES2DUE1. I'm on an ATT MVNO. Flagship phone, ha! I don't really feel like I should have to flash it myself so if you are waiting you aren't the only one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] IamSirius:
Two months behind on security updates and hacked info of 48 million records. Looks to me like T-Mo doesn't take security seriously. I've been looking at other carriers & how to best manage my switchover.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kangi26:
It's really hard for me to believe that ANY major corporation in the current world doesn't take security seriously. The public view (Ours) of what is occurring in a company's security/process' and what happens with some of these breaches is weeks to months behind what is happening in real time. Yeah it's not great that it's happened, but it happens and happens a lot now-a-days. The real test is how does the company respond to it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hayabusa1300cc:
I find it crazy, that I had to go back to my S9+ on T-Mobile. To find that I had a May patch, followed an August patch. An S9+ that is crazy to me. Also my wife's Note 10+ is on July patch.
