I've notice what you said. I've checked online for my CSC code. sprint/tm/att is under 916U and somehow I found vzw on 916U1. Thats why I'm trying to flash the u1 instead of u
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] zimgir124:
Earlier in the post someone had the same problem so here's the solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tony7360095:
Thats the patch version of 1.13 I'm using 1.14

Edit: I've tried both and both failed.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] zimgir124:
Try to download the firmware with a CSC of XAA instead of OWA. I'm not familiar with OWA but XAA is what the unlocked units ship with.

Under model in frija make sure you put SM-F916U1 and not just SM-F916U though
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tony7360095:
I've download the XAA one. F916U1EU1ATHL. I downloaded it from Frija and I've download the OWA from this post. Tried both on odin 1.13 and 1.14 both failed. I didn't try the XAS one. I mean vzw firm dont bother me but I prefer Samsung oem firm.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] zimgir124:
That's odd. My device is a Verizon device but I flashed the XAA firmware from from Frija using the ODIN that I linked and had no issues.

Some things you can try:

Download the Samsung mobile drivers and retry.

Redownload the ODIN that I linked above and retry.

This is the only thing I can think of that might help.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tony7360095:
redownloading and retrying now. i hope it work. :crying:

Edit: i've downloaded sam mobile and it seem to be working. its restarting now. i think i didn't install sam mobile it didn't work

Edit 2: a million thanks. i've flash it and it work perfectly its optimizing app to start now. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):):):):):):)

---------- Post added at 02:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 AM ----------

I've got it fully working now. I also have one question. It doesn't effect Verizon 60 day unlocking policy correct? And hows the battery life between OEM and vzw firm? Since I'm using vzw sim I wouldn't have no issue connecting to 5G correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] zimgir124:
Doesn't affect the unlock policy, still have to wait. As far as battery life im not sure because the first thing I did was flash unlocked software.

Everything should work as normal though.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tony7360095:
Thats great. Because vzw activated 5G near me. And I have 5G. Not on my block sucks. A few block down. I might try it out to see. If its working for 5G. Once again thanks a million :) :)

Edit: on vzw firm if I game I get about 5 hours. (With inner screen) if I just watch videos and chat(outter screen) I get around 7.5-9 hours. Sometimes 6.5 if I do allot of video watching.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] zimgir124:
What does it do when it stops working?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tony7360095:
I keep getting the pop up saying NFC have stopped working. And when I open Samsung pay, the pay button Grey out. I have to reopen Samsung pay in order for the pay button to be blue again. It was working fine before I flash to OEM firm from vzw. Its just NFC giving me issue. I did a soft reset it worked for a bit and it stop again.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tony7360095:
when will the next update be? I feel like I want to flash back to vzw firmware

I purchased the Korean variant(sm-f916n), can I flash sm-f916b and have the unlock firmware?

Tnx, as I'm new here

Dont think anyone can see into the future here. perhaps flash back then

If your wanting to flash this to unlock your phone, it wont. You cannot just unlock the phone by flashing unlocked firmware.

Which firmware for SM-F9160?

I want buy SM-F9160 in Bangladesh because in my country no 512GB version available. I need to know does SM-F9160 has china bloatware per-installed? Does It hase chines app store pre-installed beside Google Playstore?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] shollywood:
Think most of the bloatware is installed according to the SIM thats attached to it once you turn it on.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tony7360095:
Update OEM firmware: after day 4 of usage I can't stand it. Here's why.

Phone over heat like crazy.

NFC fail to work.

Battery drain way faster than vzw firmware base on same settings.

I leave my phone overnight without charging. It went from 100-66%.

Verizon firmware leave me from 100% to 87%

I've test gaming on stock firm. 3.5-4 hours, (Verizon: 5-5.5)

Same usage as Verizon firmware, on OEM I get 5-6 hours a day of battery life, sometimes 4.5 hours.

With Verizon firmware with same usage I get about 7.5 hours a day. Some times 6 or 6.5 but a stable 7.5-8 hour uages.

All these is just my own personal infor. I couldn't stand it and flash back to Verizon firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AquaticXi:
What about the SM-F916B (International Version) could someone add that one? And could you flash it from the U1 firmware?

You need a dual SIM phone for dual SIM capability. This isn't dual SIM

Got the October patch but I wish l knew what exactly was updated. There weren't too many bugs to begin with but let's hope that Android 11 gets here ASAP. I am jonesing for the latest Android so bad that I'm considering a OnePlus 8T or a Pixel 5 just to play with sometimes until the Z Fold 2 gets it.

First i want to thank everyone giving ideas and trying to help us.

My question is;

I am in Toronto Canada and have bought a Galaxy Fold 2 from States (Verizon) SM F916U

Can i install a Rogers/Fido stock firmware on a Verizon Phone? To understand me better. Can i change from SMF916U to SMF916W? I hope I am making sense.

With the current Verizon firmware i cannot do any video call or be in LTE network.

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] shollywood:
Yes you can. I have AT&T flashed it to Telus.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Noxowner99:
Thank you for the clarification.

Now it is time to look for that Fido firmware.

on a second note. I am still confused on which firmware to choose for my phone.

I just bought Verizon SM916U with firmware F916USQU1ATHL

I want to change firmware to FIDO (Canada)

I went to Samfrew and there are many to choose . Can you help me to choose the correct one?

RWC F916WVLU1ATHL or

RWC F916WVLU1ATHD i do not understand what is the difference between ATHL and ATHD.

Thank you

I have a question , be great if someone knew the answer . I recently purchased an unlocked Verizon galaxy fold 2 f916U . Currently using a T-Mobile SIM , everything works except I don't seem to be getting 5g network only LTE.

Is it because of the Verizon firmware is not compatible with my T-Mobile SIM or something else ? Any help is appreciated , thanks .

I suggest you flash the Tmobile firmware and see if that solves your dilemna

Credits to [MENTION=1586120]henklbr[/MENTION] for the basic instructions on flashing with odin[/QUOTE]

I just finished flashing my phone with the SM-F916U1 software and I think I followed the instructions correctly. The phone now has the newest update. It was an unlocked ATT version and I was using it on Verizon. My 5G worked well. Now, after flashing it, it only picks up 4G. Has anyone else had this issue? Did I do something wrong?

Don't expect to have U carrier features when using a U1 firmware without the proper USERDATA.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] josharmour:
I just picked up the SM-F916U and it has a Tmobile Boot Screen, so I can only assume its the 916U TMO version. I currently have Project Fi which generally uses tmobile for its network however I am missing two things without reflashing as far as I can tell.

1) I would like to use esim

2) I would like to be able to 'roam' to other Fi carriers such as Sprint/US Cellular/ etc.

Normally Tmo has an option for wifi calling that would only work if you were actually a tmobile customer. Fi also has a wifi calling option. I wonder if I am unable to do that with the TMO variant.

Note the screen 'network unlock' does currently say "Unlocked" with the other two options "Permanent Unlock" and "Temporary Unlock" as being grayed out - which leads me to believe that it was sold as unlocked from Tmobile and is not just temporarily unlocked or will be locked to Tmobile in the future. I worry because I bought this on Craigslist for a good deal as 'new in box lightly used'. I wanted to trade my Surface Duo plus some cash and got a good deal. I checked that my sim worked for calls in it before I left the deal.

As for flashing, I'm a long time member here, since the og days of the G1 (and before for me).. I assume I don't need to unlock my bootloader officially to flash, I could just boot to 'download' mode and use Odin and the SM-F916U1 build.

Currently in japan using the korean variant (unlocked)

Should I flash my device? I want the latest updates like security patches and oneui3.0... Or should I just wait for it to come ota? Thousand thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] JagXK8:
You're in the same boat as me. I bought mine from Samsung and got the tmobile version as it was shipping faster lol. Got the phone and had to call Tmobile to unlock it since it was paid in full. Had to give it a couple of days but it was unlocked. Then flashed unlocked firmware CSC XAA. i have wifi calling but nobody has esim i believe in the states and i'm not able to switch carriers. People that have bought samsungs directly from Fi said they can switch networks. Our phone isn't supported yet hopefully.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] josharmour:
I believe that with esim there will be the ability to but using the physical sim from fi only enables the tmobile registration.

I wonder if someone can provide the sim toolkit binary from a non-xaa build for us to sideload?

I am working as a tmobile customer on the sm-f916u1 build (no carrier branding) but I have some strange sms/mms delays I'm troubleshooting.

Hey Everyone,

Quick question - How do I get 5G function back after using modded odin to install SM-F916U1 firmware provided in this thread?

I originally bought AT&T device from a friend and paid the 35$ to have the IMEI unlocked. Then I used this thread to install the unlocked firmware and used modded odin 3.14 to install since I was getting SHA256 errors. Once the phone came up I do not have 5G. I am only getting 4G at this time

Hello everyone! I made a tutorial regarding flashing the latest updates:

1. Download and extract both Frija and Odin.

5. Click on "Download" and choose a folder to save the firmware.

6. After the download is complete, extract the firmware .zip.
