I

I managed to get it done , I’m back on android 11 but now I have all of the AT&T bloatware on my phone now :/ anyway to remove that ?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
You have bloatware because you flashed F711U firmware

You should have flashed F711U1 firmware
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] jedijo1990:
im not looking to root my phone. i just want a semi debloated phone. will flashing to either of the firmwares trip knox or keep me from using my warranty if need be?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] s3lover:
Hi is it a good ideal when you get over the air firmware update to do a factory reset
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
It's impossible to trip Knox on a device with a locked bootloader. Flashing official manufacturer software on a device never voids its warranty, no matter the make or model

If you're experiencing bugs or glitches, yes
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] s3lover:
With the last update which I'm not sure if it's that but battery is very poor, losing like 7% in half hour
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] sebzter:
Sorry my message below posted twice
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] sebzter:
Hi xda friends,

Has anyone had luck attempting to flash their Z Flip 3 to a different carriers U firmware? I have a Verizon Z Flip 3 that I am trying to flash to the TMB (T-Mobile) firmware so that I get the t-mobile apps, etc.

Every time I attempt to flash it succeeds but still remains with the Verizon boot logo and all the Verizon apps instead of the T-Mobile apps. When going to Software information under "service provider software version" it states VZW/VZW/VZW even though I flashed the T-Mobile firmware.

I attempted flashing just the USERDATA with Odin, however all this did was reset the phone, it still had verizon boot logo and apps. Then I flashed the full firmware via ODIN (BL, AP, CP, CSC, USERDATA) and the flash succeeded, however upon reboot it still showed the verizon boot animation as well as all the preloaded verizon apps still being there after setting up the phone as new again.

I am not sure what else to do at this point, please let me know if you were successful in flashing another carriers bloatware firmware because this is all I am trying to do. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
- the correct procedure for switching from one carrier's firmware to another carrier's firmware is:

1. With no SIM inserted, flash full U1 firmware package including non HOME CSC

2. Upon boot, insert a SIM of the carrier whose firmware you want

3. Watch for the popup that says "reboot to apply new carrier settings" etc, and do it

4. After that restart completes, reboot back to Download mode and flash the full U firmware package, with the USERDATA file of the carrier whose firmware you want
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] sebzter:
Thank you so much for the quick reply, this worked perfectly!

I followed this exactly as you explained and got the message telling me to reboot to apply carrier settings once I flashed the U1 firmware. After this I restored the full U firmware for TMB and now upon reboot I have the t-mobile animation as well as all respective t-mobile apps like visual voicemail.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Leeman78:
Good evening guys, finally, someone recommend to study on problems and I did and got here!!

For long story make it short, I bought ATT Samsung z flip 3 5g from my friends (globally unlocked) and get new 5g sim card (Verizon) and everything works fine excepts ATT logo when it boot up and couple settings are showing as ATT.

Under the Software information > Service provider software version is showing below

SAOMC_SM-F711U_OYN_ATT_RR_0016

ATT/ATT/ATT

So, I read this thread and find out I need to do ==>> convert from one carrier's U firmware (with all apps and bloatware) to a different carrier's U firmware (with all apps and bloatware), this method.

Flash u1 software and VZW userdata.

Here's my questions.

1. Is there any thread that explains where I need to get U1 software and VZW userdata?

2. Also any instruction how to do it?

I will look more into now to search this thread but, would help me and save bunch of time, if someone can tell me at least where I can get it and I will study with youtube and others to do it.

Please help me. Thank you so much.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Leeman78:
Would you share with me how you do it?

My situation is same. I have ATT (global unlocked phone and it is successfully regiesterd and active and Verizon told me everything looks good. Yes, everything is good but, I see still ATT logo and all the ATT settings.

SAOMC_SM-F711U_OYN_ATT_RR_0016

ATT/ATT/ATT

This is what i see. What I can do is learn how to do this and tell you how's mine works.

I downlaod Odint3 software but, don't know where I can download u1 firmware and where I can get the Verizon userdata?

would you tell me how to do this? any site that show how to do it? I will learn from it if this is too hard to explain.

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Leeman78:
I found solutions and did flashing and put the Verizon userdata but, same problem as you. still shoiwng ATT

I have freaking same problem. I just tried...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
Then you did not follow the exact procedure that I posted
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iHeartslutsz:
Can I reflash with the correct firmware or is it too late?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
Yes, you can reflash any time
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iHeartslutsz:
Okay , I downloaded the U1 firmware but Odin is giving me an error saying model mismatch
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
Then you're probably not using Patched Odin
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iHeartslutsz:
Patched Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
Correct
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iHeartslutsz:
Where can I find that ?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
All over XDA. It's pretty much been required for flashing any Samsung firmware for, IDK, the past 5 years or so
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iHeartslutsz:
Where ca

Okay I found patched Odin but I’m still getting the model mismatch error on version 3.14
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
What software version does the phone currently have?

And what version are you trying to flash?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iHeartslutsz:
It has android 11 and I’m trying to reflash it with android 11 to get rid of the bloatware from AT&T since I mistakenly flashed my u1 with the wrong firmware at first so I was trying to get it back to normal. But now I’m getting complete (write) operation failed when I try flashing with the u1 firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
I'm asking which SPECIFIC versions.

Build numbers / Baseband Versions
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iHeartslutsz:
Baseband says f711USQS2auj6 and the build says RP1A.200720.012
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
That tells me nothing.

I said versionS, plural. I asked for both the current version of your phone and of the firmware that you're trying to flash
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iHeartslutsz:
Sorry this is my first android and the first time I’ve flashed since I stupidly did it with the AT&T bloatware but the one I’m trying to flash with says. F711u1_ug7 from the link about in this thread
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
Your device has bootloader 2 but you're trying to flash bootloader 1 firmware. That's your problem.

You need to flash a newer (bootloader 2) version of the U1 firmware
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iHeartslutsz:
Okay how would I find that?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
Read the OP
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iHeartslutsz:
Okay I checked all the files and the only one I see with u2 is the one that says AT&T user data under the f711u not the u1 so with that being said do I take the u1 firmware and just add the user data that I see with u2 in the user data part ?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
No.

What you do is read the paragraph of the OP that says "anyone can now download firmware for almost any Samsung device any time that they want"
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iHeartslutsz:
Sorry to be annoying but I managed to find a firmware with bootloader version 2 XAA-F711U1TBU2AU14. Now I’m getting the same error about the complete write fail still.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
Post pictures or screenshots both of what Odin says, and also what error message appears on the phone screen
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
I need to see Odin in its entirety, not just one small section
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iHeartslutsz:
My computer was the culprit I switched ports and it’s running now. Thanks so much for all the help and sorry about me being super annoying! 🥺
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
When it hangs on SetupConnection (like in the Odin pic you posted), that's a USB error. So yes, need to change cable, port, or PC altogether. But the phone pic you posted showed that you were still trying to flash bootloader 1 to a bootloader 2 device. So I was confused, since it didn't seem like the pics were taken at the same time.

Glad you got it though. Hope you like Thom Browne branding lmao
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iHeartslutsz:
Lol yeah sorry about that ! I’ll definitely take it over all the AT&T bloatware but now I’m done flashing 😂 although I did make a note of boot-loader version 2 in my notes just in case for future references.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] praneetsadana:
Hi, receiving error on odin while updating firmware from U to U1. Error: Complete (Write) Failed. It gets stuck on setup connection first and then display the error. Using patched odin 3.14.1 and tried different cables, usb ports. It worked once when I tried directly changing verizon firmware "U" to At&t "U", though it got pass but as stated above in the comments, verizon bloatware is still there. I am now trying to change the firmware to U1 but every time getting the above mentioned error.

Device's firmware: F711USQS2AUJ6

Firmware to be installed: SM-F711U1_XAA_F711U1UES2AUJ7

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
Getting stuck on setup connection is a USB error. On the PC, USB 2.0 ports work better than 3.0, and a USB A port works better than a C. If you've tried every combination of cable and port that you have, then you need to just use a different PC.

But remember that you need to reboot the phone back to Download after every failed attempt - you can't just change cable or port and immediately try again

[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] j0nnyd:
I'm hoping someone can help me out on this. I'm in the same scenario, I have a Verizon Z Flip 3 and I'm trying to flash TMB firmware. I tried following these steps by flashing U1 firmware (F711U1UEU2BVA9) however I never get the popup that says "reboot to apply new carrier settings." In Odin3 v3.14, I do the full flash, BL, AP, CP, & CSC (CDC_OYM not HOME_CSC). I'm sure I'm overlooking something dumb but I can't figure it out for the life of me. Any help is greatly appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] j0nnyd:
I figured it out after hours of messing with it. Turns out the last couple Feb patches don't trigger the "reboot to apply new carrier settings." I ended up flashing the December build and that worked. Hopefully this helps anyone that wants to switch carrier builds in the future. And thanks to the OP and this thread for pointing me in the right direction!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] snownh2o2:
My phone:

Samsung Flip 3 5G (SIM Unlock by USC)

Baseband: F711U1UEU2BVA9

Build: SP1A.210812.016.F711U1UEU2BVA9

Service provider software Version: SAOMC_SM-F711U1_OYM_USC_12_0015 USC/USC/USC

I am having troubles since ATT shut down the 3G antennas. No more service. My brother has the same phone and his works fine.

His phone:

Samsung Flip 3 5G (Unlocked from Samsung)

Baseband: F711U1UEU2BVA9

Build: SP1A.210812.016.F711U1UEU2BVA9

Service provider software Version: SAOMC_SM-F711U1_OYM_ATT_12_0012 ATT/ATT/XAA

After reading and rereading this thread, and loading different firmware, the only difference between our two phones (that I see) is the service provider software version.

Only thing that comes to mind is that maybe I needed to load the ATT_USER data but its under the U firmware not the U1. Even after reading this whole thread multiple times, I am not sure that this idea it makes sense.

PS…. After loading new firmware (u1 xaa), when I insert the ATT SIM it does not restart and load the ATT stuff. Insead it says something on the line of incompatible SIM. Stopping at the ATT store and getting a new SIM did not help. Loading older firmware as suggested in the last post did not seem to work. And now the service provider software now says USC instead of XAA again.

Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
"incompatible SIM" and no popup prompt to apply new carrier settings makes it sound like the phone is not actually network unlocked
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] snownh2o2:
Since receiving your response, I have been searching for a way to verify my sim unlock. The free websites I have tried show me nothing. The method of inserting a sim card from a different carrier confuses me. The phone was susposedly sim unlocked from USC. Months ago I inserted an ATT Sim and it worked on the ATT nework on the 3G, 4G, and 5G networks.

After changing to U1 and getting a message that I have an incorrect SIM, it no longer connects to the ATT network. However the timing of this was at the same time ATT dropped the 3G network and may others with unlocked phones are reporting loss of all bands 3G, 4G, and 5G

On a side note: under Network Access Point Names, ATT Nxtgenphone comes up when my ATT sim is inserted.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to confirm a sim unlock?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
Well if the phone did use to work with an AT&T SIM, then that seems to indicate that it is indeed SIM unlocked.

Can you post a picture or screenshot of the "incorrect SIM" message?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] snownh2o2:
Sorry I thought I recalled it saying 'incorrect sim' but it says the 'sim doesn't match the service provider', and I know exact words matter when it comes to this stuff. Either way I am still confused and stuck. Thank you so much for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] snownh2o2:
If I press the skip button I get the following message. I also attached a photo of the files I am using (I use the csc not the csc_home as instructed)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
That shows U1 ATT, not U1 XAA.

You could try downloading and flashing U1 XAA to see if that brings the popup that prompts you to reboot to apply new carrier settings. (That's what triggers the Service Provider Software Version to switch)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] snownh2o2:
Here is what the software info for the newly flashed firmware looks like. The ....USC/USC/USC under service provider software version is what bothers me. I assume it should look like ATT/ATT/USC or ATT/ATT/XAA but I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Again, it worked for months on ATT until last week
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] snownh2o2:
I will give it a try right now. Thank you greatly for the suggestion
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] snownh2o2:
I loaded the XAA firmware. Exact same result. And USC/USC/USC still appears.

Is it possible the Sim lock some how got re locked?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
Flash U firmware and make sure the SIM still works
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] yygemmi770:
Are there any U1 package files that are not Thom Browne?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] snownh2o2:
Flashed U firmware. Used UL7 AP, BL, CP, & CSC_OYN from the USC files on Sammobile as there are no ATT files and from what I know they should be the same for all carriers. I then used the ATT_USERDATA from your UL7 file.

Results are still the same with the exception that now I have a US Cellular boot animation.

Am I doing something wrong? Is my phone sim locked again somehow? Or maybe is my ATT sim bad?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] iBowToAndroid:
Yep

Can you do calls/texts/data though?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] yygemmi770:
How do I differentiate between the TB files and the non TB?
[OPPO Reno 6 Pro 5G] raj_shashank:

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ruthlessnature:
Is there a T-Mobile version available yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] iBowToAndroid:
Yep, firmware has been on Samsung's servers since last week
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ruthlessnature:
I downloaded the file from samefirm, and frija but did not get the carrier bloat or T-Mobile boot screen from either one. I have an unlocked version.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] iBowToAndroid:
You need to make sure your CSC shows as TMB, and need to make sure you're flashing USERDATA too
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ruthlessnature:
That's strange, neither one I downloaded has TMB in the csc, do you have a link ?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] iBowToAndroid:
I'm not talking about the firmware. I'm talking about the phone itself, in the Settings
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ruthlessnature:
Oh, I see, it doesn't change, shows xaa/xaa/xaa I downloaded the ATT userdata to flash and see if it changes it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] iBowToAndroid:
If you want T-Mobile bloatware, you need to insert a T-Mobile SIM so that the CSC changes to TMB. And then you need to flash a U firmware with T-Mobile USERDATA
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ruthlessnature:
Thanks for the info, I couldn't get it to flash back to the u1 firmware until I downloaded the patched Odin. Then I was able to I put my Sim, the csc showed TMB and then I was able to flash the u firmware with the TMB userdata. Thanks again for your help.

You stated that there are tons of beginners guides. In doing searches I find multiple different guides with different completely different processes. Is there one that you recommend or works best?

My goal is to make my unlocked fold3 more usable on ATT/firstnet. There are multiple features I cannot use and I don't receive same call quality service as my wife's locked att fold3.

Anyone can help me with my issue?

I bought unlocked F926U model, but seen purchase (its been a long time) I doesnt get any update. Seller told that the version is from AT&T (I see Logo after restarting). Still I have F926USQU1AUG8 baseband and doesnt know when will get OTA update. Is there somehow that I can manually update the firmware on mac without harming device?

Sorry for such noob question.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] cpufrost:
There will be no esim for this device.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ultramaxoflagos:
It has 2 IMEI's on the box, and I live in Nigeria. Is that eSIM restriction global? I always thought it was an American thing?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] cpufrost:
No, the lack of e-sim applies ONLY to the USA unlocked version, SM-F926U1.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] HaykMessia:
I use it wothout eSim unfortunately( But there is one IMEI for this phone.

I just want to figure out, if I manually update firmware, is there any possible versions that phone become a brick? As seller told me he ordered a service to unlock the phone, and also send me the unlocking code.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] cpufrost:
You need to have unique IMEIs for each line.

When I purchased dual sim capable versions overseas they did have two unique IEMIs printed on the label on the box.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ultramaxoflagos:
Yeah that's what I mean, it has 2 unique IMEIs on the box labelled IMEI1 and IMEI2
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] cpufrost:
Ok yours is capable of two line operation for sure. In the past that would be called a duo model. My S9+ has a dual sim tray. That phone works really well but Verizon doesn't work with it unfortunately here in the 'States.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] bmpponder:
Hello all. I recently purchased a z fold 3 from att. Its on the way in the mail to me. I am just wondering. Im pretty sure its not going to be unlocked since Im gonna be making payments on it. Can I flash the firmware before I even set up the device to the official samsung firmware so I dont have to deal with att bloatware or do I have to wait til the phone is fully paid for and have it unlocked? just curious
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] iBowToAndroid:
It does not need to be SIM unlocked in order to flash U1 firmware
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] bmpponder:
so I can flash it to U1 and get rid of the att logo at the boot screen and still keep the att service without voiding my warranty

and without interrupting my service?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] iBowToAndroid:
Yep
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] bmpponder:
Can I ask what csc would I use for the flash? Im new to Frija. I had help last time for my s9+ I remember how to do most of it just not of that.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] iBowToAndroid:
That's already given in the OP
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] bmpponder:
Ok so I did some reading. and I mean a lot of reading. I have downloaded the U1 firmware for the Z Fold 3 using XAA for the CSC. As soon as I get the phone from AT&T I plan on powering it on to download mode/recovery mode and flash it to U1 using the the AP, BL, CP, and HOME CSC I got from downloading the latest U1 firmware. My question is after doing this. I just have to set the phone up as I would then pop the ATT Sim card into it. It will restart and I will have the ATT csc after?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] iBowToAndroid:
1. Download mode and recovery mode are 2 totally different things. Flashing is done via Download

2. Going between U and U1 always requires a wipe, so you'll need to use the regular CSC - not HOME

3. I have no idea what your CSC will look like after you flash. Might chance to XAA, might stay on AT&T. One way or another, bloatware will be gone
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] riccorohl:
Hello, U1 download link says it's empty :(
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] iBowToAndroid:
Yep that's because anyone can download it themselves at any time from Frija and the other various firmware download tools - and at (usually) much faster speeds than AFH
