[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
Hmm, looks like Frija is defaulting to pulling the "branded" firmware when looking for U1, if that sales code has gotten the VEE update already. It's done that in the past.

To pull unbranded firmware, you'll need to change to manual entry, and replace the "TB" with "UE" and change the Z in "OYZ" to an M
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] cpufrost:
This is fetched in AUTO

F711U1TBU2DVEE/F711U1OYZ2DVEE/F711U1TBU2DVEE

I cannot change it when switching to manual. If I check update after switching to manual that field becomes blank but it does not allow me to enter anything in there.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
If you can't type anything in the PDA, CSC, or PHONE fields after changing it to Manual, then something is very very wrong.

What version are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] cpufrost:
1.4.4.0

I can change those fields on top but not below where it shows version.

Here's a screen shot with the updated PDA/CSC/Phone in manual mode.

Clicking on check update doesn't throw an error but doesn't fill in the below fields either.

If I switch back to AUTO and click check update it fetches the version I have now with TB stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
Then I have no idea what's wrong because it pulls it fine for me when I fill everything out and click Check Update

[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] cpufrost:
Success!

I removed the XML file in %userprofile%\AppData\local\Frija\

Ran Frija, entered everything manually and it fetched the file correctly.

Flashed using HOME for CSC is everything is working well.

Not only is the TB version screwy with the splash screen, the outer display has a funky font that I hated.

Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Dylusion:
Hi. Sorry if I may have made any mistakes, I am new to this. I have a Verizon SM-F711U Flip 3 that I bought second-hand recently. I tried to use my existing AT&T sim card inside it but it rejected it with a "carrier change" message. I contacted Verizon and they told me the device was unlocked and fully paid off. Based on what happens it seems like the device isn't unlocked, but even after contacting them multiple times, they all say on their servers the device's IMEI is shown as unlocked.

I've flashed U1 firmware which removed the Verizon bootscreen and bloatware, and initially it seemed like it accepted the sim card considering it connected to 4G and allowed me to make calls and messages, but about 5 minutes later it displayed the same message saying "carrier change not supported" and disconnected from network. The service provider software version still shows VZW/VZW/VZW

Would flashing ATT U firmware fix this by any chance, or is there something else I could try?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] cpufrost:
When you flashed (ODIN) did you select HOME or CSC (Full wipe)?

Sounds like AT&T is rejecting this device.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Dylusion:
I flashed with CSC
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] cpufrost:
I would flash ATT FW, let it settle in and see if you don't get knocked offline.

If the service provider refreshes with ATT it should be good and you can flash back to U1 to get rid of the carrier bloat.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Dylusion:
Alright I'll try that and see if it works. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Dylusion:
I flashed ATT fw following the same procedure iBowToAndroid provided a bit ago to someone else trying to flash TMB to VZW, however after starting the phone it still showed the Verizon boot screen, and after initial setup the device still kicked me offline. I rebooted the phone many times, did a factory reset, and the service provider is still on VZW and kicking me off the network.

It's possible I could've done something wrong while trying to flash ATT fw, but from what I know I did everything as the steps mentioned. I might try to contact Verizon again to see if the phone is still unlocked
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] cpufrost:
That's strange (especially the VZW splash screen!)...

Do you know someone with Verizon service that you can use their sim card? Perhaps if you put that in and let the phone connect to (VZW) it may unlock it. Sounds weird but the phone may need to communicate on VZW to be updated to unlocked status. Afterward, flashing to U1 would let you run it on any network without issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Dylusion:
Yeah I was thinking about that possibly being a solution but unfortunately at the moment I don't know anyone who uses Verizon (At least anyone who would let me borrow their sim card)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] nsurg:
Sorry for a potentially idiot question, but I have 2 phones in my household both as unlocked SM-F711U1. My software is "up to date" according to the software update within android and trying to manually update with the samsung smartswitch app via windows on both phones.

I am trying to get esim to work, which apparently should work with the updated software per this post https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-3-flip-3-usa-esim-support/

Problem is, I don't have the F711U1UEU2DVEE version, it looks like I have the F711U1UES2CVD4. Do I just have to wait longer for the newer software to show up as available? I'd love to not have to manually flash these.

Thank you, I know it's a rookie question!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] cpufrost:
I had to flash mine to DVEE in order to see the SIM manager.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] nsurg:
Thanks for the reply.

Is the DVEE update not coming to my particular type of flip3, or will it come later automatically if I'm patient?

Alternately (I'm not familiar with flashing modern phones) if I do have to flash is there a way to it that will preserve my apps and settings without it being wiped? And if I flashed does it still automatically update later? I've read a fair amount about flashing and even tried at one point on a different phone and had some problems...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] cpufrost:
Mine didn't fetch it automatically. OTA will eventually come, probably a newer one at July 1 security patch.

I manually did this for esim capability.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
If it said "you're not allowed to use another carrier at this time" and provided Verizon's 1-800 numbers, then that means the phone is still SIM locked to them

1. Yes, it will come via OTA eventually

2. If you want to manually install it, yes, you can do so without factory resetting

3. Yes, future OTAs should still work fine, if you manually flash
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] nsurg:
Thank you for your above replies!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] cpufrost:
July update (DVEG) is out!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] nsurg:
Thanks for your advice.

Of note, my 2 phones updated today OTA to DVEE and now have esim.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] cpufrost:
Interesting it dropped today.

If I want the most updated I have to manually grab it and esim was essential.

Now it's just security updates mostly.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] cd85233:
@yygemmi770 , I saw you were having the same issue I was with the VZW not switching even after a flash. Did you ever figure out how to resolve this?

It is currently a verizon phone I'm trying to switch completely to Tmobile including their bloat. Here's what I have done.

1. I flashed a TMB version of the same build but its just booted as Verizon still. I got a message saying the sim was not for Verizon but everything worked.

2. The next thing I did was flash the latest U1 Tmobile version. I now got the no Verizon boot screen and no more sim message. However it still says vzw for the csc.

Were you able to figure this out? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: FYI I used the SamFW FRP tool to change the CSC and it worked perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] yygemmi770:
I was able to get the CSC to change on stuck units by using Chimera Tool. This was the only successful way I was able to do it, as the normal flashing procedure would not work.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] cd85233:
That is paid, no? I used the frp tool I mention and it worked like a charm no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] yygemmi770:
Yes that is a paid program, but I use it within our company. There are probably a number of different tools that can accomplish it now. Looks like sometime around May or April the solution was found and coded into these programs.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] cd85233:
Oh that makes sense. I was happy that it worked. The other methods seemed very difficult.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Dylusion:
Honestly couldn't thank you enough lol. The SamFW FRP tool finally got my CSC to change to ATT and now my ATT sim works in my Verizon flip 3
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] cd85233:
I'm glad it worked. It took me too long to find the solution. Glad I came back to comment!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] NguyenHuu:
Hi, i have a question if anymore is familiar:

Carrier (att) to unlocked firmware:

If we flash HOME CSC and don't Flash USERDATA, will this be successful in converting to unlocked firmware and still keeping previous data intact, any issues? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
1. USERDATA isn't present in U1 firmware

2. I've seen a recent-ish post from someone claiming that flashing HOME instead of the regular CSC worked (although I think it was on a different model). So you can try it, but make sure to have all your data backed up just in case the phone bootloops and you need to factory reset
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] NguyenHuu:
Thanks for the insight. Also will you make a firmware thread like this for the flip4? That will be useful once everyone starts getting their devices, thanks for your work.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
No, because anyone can get the firmware themselves via Frija and other sources
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] bori1030:
good day all. I have a flip 3 VZW looking for a 4.1 firmware download to flash back using Odin. cant seem to find any.. a point in the right direction is appreciated tks!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
Frija or SamFW.com
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] bori1030:
tks I tried both but they do not work tried the auto nothing when I plug in on either one just error not sure what Im doing wrong.. anything else out there I tired sammobile galaxy firmware couple others but running them on ODIN just gives me a failed.. Im just looking to go back to 4.1. not sure what else to do.. any help is greatly apprreciated
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
In order for us to help you, YOU have to help US.

Saying "just error" and "just gives me a failed" tell us nothing. We need to know what the EXACT error is, in order to correctly diagnose the problem
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] bori1030:
you know your right sorry I will try it again when I get home to put all the info in that Im getting. been a while was not thinking str8..:) thanks again!! will post in about 2 hrs much appreciate you helping me.

Hello again iBow! so I have the phone plugged in open Frija have CSC info in that I found and hit check update and get the error below same error if I do it with out the CSC also. on a flip 3, 4.1.1 SM-F711U again tks my friend!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
It tells you very clearly right there that you need to type the CSC that you want into the "CSC" field
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] bori1030:
I did its in the middle the F711 etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

No. That's the model. In the screenshot that you posted, the CSC field is blank - there's nothing there
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] bori1030:
sorry doing a little search not really sure what the CSC is but I saw this F711UOYN2DVF1 next to CSC on a firmware download so I assumed it was that. in the screen shot if you zoom a little you can actually see that is typed in there. unless its just completely wrong ..lol sorry again I have been out of the game since the galaxy 7..lol
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
1. I'm talking about the box that's next to "Model", at the top of the program. The PDA, CSC, and PHONE fields down below don't become involved unless you have the "Manual" box checked. That's why they're greyed out and you can't type anything in them.

2. The top "CSC" box refers to the sales code of the firmware that you want: TMB, CCT, SPR, DSH, TMK, CHA, etc
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] bori1030:
View attachment 5721155ok so then I'm VZW. ok I put that in TMB, on auto, hit check and now get this.. some progress ..lol I'll take it but unable to find . do you know where I can find the info to just enter manual? or I'm still doing something wrong? man total Noob again lol use to be just mega links everywhere with mad firmware.. alot has changed I see. again your help is much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] bori1030:
Also I'm not Rooted sorry forgot to mention that
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
Are you looking for One UI 4.1? And *not* 4.1.1?

If so, what's your phone's current Baseband Version?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] bori1030:
yes looking for 4.1 I was forced updated to 4.1.1 band

F711USQS3DVHD
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
Updates are never forced - they're always optional. You just updated to bootloader 3 and it's not possible to go back. So downgrade isn't possible
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] bori1030:
that was the case usually for me this has never happened .. I had auto updates blocked in dev options like always and after the notice sat for weeks about the update a pop up came up and said Auto update in 24 hrs and started a freaking count down there was nothing I could do to stop it.. freaking out the whole time man it was crucial lol
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] bori1030:
so thats why the fails in Odin with the firmwares I did find. I thought maybe the downloads were bad in some way..:(
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
That setting in Developer Options does not actually block OTA updates. But there are methods that do.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] bori1030:
good day sir. I have an app freezer now on my other phone. do you know what I can freeze to prevent further updates?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Solihudeenconcept:
How did you flashnit back... I have been trying tonflash my Z Flip 3 back to F711U after I flashed it to F711U1... it has not been going through... please put me through how you flashed it back
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
Simply saying "not going through" doesn't give us any details. You need to be specific, and tell us exactly what happens, including any errors that appear in Odin or on the phone screen
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Solihudeenconcept:
Resolved
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] hooutoo:
I'm presently trying to Sim unlock my Tmob Flip3. I willing to go to an unlock service but most can't work with the Tmob unlock method. They just want to provide an unlock pin for you to enter. Does anyone know of a work around such as mybe flashing another carrier' rom such as Verizon or US Cellular? Just wondering if one of these would pop up the message to enter an unlock pin when a I put my mint mobile sim in???
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
If the phone doesn't ask for a code by default, then no working code exists for it. Even if you could somehow force it to prompt for a code, it would reject any code that you enter. Unlocking it isn't anywhere near that simple
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] cd1207:
YAY! I bought a F711U from ebay that was locked to Verizon ("sorry, a carrier switch can't be performed at this time...") and it refused my Hello Mobile SIM. Verizon refused to help as I'm not a VZW customer of course.

Flashing the U1 firmware worked a charm! and the verizon bloat is gone to boot! And I didn't need to factory reset!

EDIT: JK, message still appears and SIM is shut off, but it takes several minutes from boot to happen.

How I did it:

- Odin 3B Patched v3.14.1

- Bifrost tool to download all the files (did not need any of the outdated ones in this thread)

- Fill in all the slots as the files are named, I did CSC in CSC (not HOME) and yet my data was still not wiped

- Leave USERDATA blank (instructions were unclear so I filled the remaining file HOME as there was no USERDATA, thankfully this caused no problems)

- Reboot and then insert new SIM. Works! Then stops working after some minutes because you gotta reboot.

- Reboot again! also notice, no more bootup animation or bloatware!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
Uhhh, flashing U1 will never magically network unlock a device...

Even on U1, you should still be getting the popup about not being able to use another carrier
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] cd1207:
You're right... I didn't expect it to be so delayed, everything worked for a good 20 minutes before the message popped up again. Oops, scratch that.

Guess I'll try nagging VZW support again.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
I don't think the device can properly process the unlock signal from Verizon while it's on U1 firmware. So you'll likely need to flash it back to U, with all applicable Verizon bloat, if they do indeed agree to do it

If I were to flash different firmware onto my at&t galaxy s22 ultra would i be able to use my phone with a different carrier
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] yygemmi770:
The software version only changes that aspect, and doesn't change your SIM lock status. If you want to use your phone with another carrier you would need to unlock it (if it isin't already)by entering in the unlock code.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
Nope, flashing firmware will NEVER network unlock a Samsung. You would either need the unlock code, or have a 3rd party professional company do the unlock for you.

Also, this is not the S22 Ultra forum
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] steev087:
Thank you and my bad man I apologize.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Andrew x3:
Me too I'm wondering what is stopping me from either flashing the honkong snapdragon or uae firmware? Then unlocking my bootloader? Is it csc? What if I change it?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
Nope, all North American models have been bootloader locked for years now. If you want an unlockable bootloader, you need to buy an international model
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Andrew x3:
I can't convert to an international model? Like Hong Kong? They're both snapdragon?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
Doesn't matter what processor it uses. You can't crossflash other firmware to a North American model. Your only options for a North American model is North American firmware - either U, U1, or W
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Samsung has really gone to a lot of trouble ruining the core premise of Android.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
The core premise is a Linux-based mobile operating system with Google services integrated.

You may not like OneUI but the core premise is still there
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
I wasn't talking about OneUI. I was talking about the reason Android was originally established. Part of the motivation was Danger (the people behind the Sidekick) having a very closed ecosystem. Google purchased Android, they didn't create it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
The reason it was originally established was to create a mobile operating system with Google services integrated.

So.... not much has changed.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
I think you may have confused premise with purpose.

Industry Leaders Announce Open Platform for Mobile Devices | Open Handset Alliance

What I was trying to say was that it was a shame Samsung feels the need to prevent unlocking bootloaders in some regions, restrict cameras when unlocking bootloaders on some devices, and generally prevent free access to the hardware of their devices. Android was established to be an open platform.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
Just because it's open source doesn't mean that devices should inherently be insecure.

Vote with your wallet. If you want a bootloader-unlockable model, then buy one of those.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Andrew x3:
What is stopping me will Odin not let me or is it the phone itself?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Andrew x3:
What happens if I try it? Would it result in a brick? Would Odin not let me flash?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
Odin won't let you, because it would brick if it did let you
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] doron102:
so if im flashing my verizon carrier lock (60 days lock) device to u1 it will unlock it?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
No, flashing firmware will never magically SIM unlock a device, no matter which model it is or what carrier it's from. The SIM lock resides much deeper than firmware

Would I be able to flash a F711B firmware on a t-mobile branded F711U?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] apatcas:
Hey man, how did you get the flip 3 into download mode?

I restarted into recovery but whenever i select to reboot into bootloader, it just boots normally.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
That's already been answered in this thread
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
Standard procedure for the past couple years has been to (while powered off) either hold all 3 buttons together, or hold both Volume buttons while plugging in USB
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Andrew x3:
I tried it. Patched Odin gave me a bootloader version error and also said something about a pit file.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
Then there's your answer
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
AT&T USERDATA has been added for bootloader level 2 - build UI4.

Plenty of other carriers got (or will get) this version also, so the rest of the firmware files can be obtained via plenty of other public online sources
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] rogerandgina06:
Does this have the ability to force 4g only mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
Not sure what you mean by "this", but probably not. "4G only" sounds like something that can only be forced via Settings, or an app
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] rogerandgina06:
This is the option I'm talking about.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] rogerandgina06:
Does this have the following options ☝
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
I still don't know what you mean by "this"

Does F711W have eSIM enabled?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] AHE_XDA:
I no longer have the device so I, unfortunately, cannot confirm.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] d0x360:
Correct. I think it's 60 days and you can request network unlock but there is no bootloader unlock option on snapdragon versions (USA) on any Samsung device and there hasn't been for a few years now.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] shaan_x:
I have F711U1, is there any firmware I can flash that has esim enabled?

My mobile number is already converted to esim and I am unable to use because no esim option in the software.
