Simply put. There is no bloat. You'll get all the features samsung intended on their phones. You won't get features from carrier phones.
but in G955U1 the bootloader is locked

If I flash the U1 firmware on my phone with 955U, will I be able to return back to 955U if I do not like it?? What is the advantage of U1 on my ATT 955U phone??

I have been asking a lot about this myself. i am on tmobile. not sure if i want to make the leap to unlocked. want to keep visual voicemail, wifi calling, rcs support and what not. but i want to get in on the beta for pie. running drl7 now but the video bug with netflix and what not is annoying.
The u1 is bootloader locked. The u firmware is bootloader locked
If you own a u device and it is not sim unlocked the only advantage u1 firmware give is carrier bloat.
The u1 firmware can be flashed on a u device. But other than listed above no other perks come from this.

I can semi-confirm this. From the recovery menu I can select bootloader and it boots to SOMETHING.....but it looks like it's booting to their downloader version and not what people would traditionally see from a normal bootloader screen. I do know this screen does NOT work for having the phone detected by Platform Tools so no way to use that at all as far as I can see. UGH. I swear I should have just bought a Pixel 2 when I had the chance. GODS Samsung is annoying. :crying:

When you click reboot to bootloader it takes you to what as known as download mode which is how we flash stock firmware. And maybe a couple other things but yea mainly for stock firms. Its used by a program called odin and the latest is 3.13 i believe.

Yea hopefully someone will respond to my main question in the noobie thread. Or maybe you would know. So I know Odin is the program Samsung uses to load new ROM on a phone. And I thought I read somewhere that there was a modified version of Odin that someone made that could install new/different ROM's. But I also saw in another message that either the current version of Odin, or the current version of the modified Odin could still load other ROM's and that someone had tested this. So that was my original primary question.
Is there a way I can use one or the other to load a Stock Android Pie ROM like what might come with a Pixel so I can avoid all the garbageware from Samsung? Or is there a chance doing that, that I would have some of my hardware features disabled since that seems to be an issue loading a ROM from another phone? And if so. Has anyone made a ROM for Samsung phones with all the garbage programs removed? Or is it still too early in the release of Pie for Samsung for that to be a reality right now?
Thank You for the info.

There is a pie beta I don't know if it is official yet. If you flash the unlocked firmware I've read you lose features like WiFi calling and volte. But I have not tried pie or unlocked firm ware on mine. There is a thread on installing safestrap then doing a rooted system images then from there depending on the flashed image if you do debloat. Again I haven't tried the new root method. I'm still on a really old revision from end of 2017

Ok thanks for the info. So apparently right now it's just a bit too early to be trying to find a Pie ROM that would work with my phone and not loose some hardware features. Which I guess makes sense since Samsung is only just now releasing it for S9's I believe in european countries I guess primarily to make sure how they borked it with their own software and tweaking didn't totally screw up their phones. Heh.
Oddly enough I got all excited when I saw it said there was an update today, but all it was for was a security update to bring it up to "Feb 1st, 2019" Android security level.
Thanks for the info about things. :good:

Yes you can flash the u1 firm Ware as long as its the same revision bootloader 5th digit from the last.
I think you have to flash the equal combination file first

I'm trying to verify and confirm is that you are using a u1 firmware and not a "U" firmware. If you are looking for carrier features then it isn't guaranteed to work when using on unlocked firmwares. If you want to have a feature that is offered by your carrier, I recommend flashing the full "U" version for your carrier which would include the proper CSC file.
I changed mine F916B with Samkey. Very easy.
Hi all,
I bought this phone from my friend who was using it on ATT. It is global unlocked phone and I activate and register, change new 5gsim and no problem on Verizon Network.
It is working and fine but, it shows ATT logo when phone is boot up and still it has ATT bloatware.
Under the Software information > Service provider software version is showing below
SAOMC_SM-F711U_OYN_ATT_RR_0016
ATT/ATT/ATT
SO THIS PHONE IS legit!! even Verizon told us. They did everything with me for 3 hours. wow!
Anyway, I think it's the problem of other carrier's software is in
Do you guys know how to change provider software to Verizon? should I contact Samsung??
Please help me.
Thank you!!!!!!!!

@iHeartslutsz https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-z-flip-3/firmware/#SM-F711U1
Whenever I flash a new software through Odin after downloading it from Sammobile, the Dark Side RC theme (I think it's related somehow to the so called Star Wars special edition) for samsung, comes as one of two default themes into the system and can not be removed. Hence, even I change the theme from setting, this iron head appears everytime I restart the phone for a few seconds. So I tried different firmwares for my country but nothing changes. So someone from another forum said that my service provider software version differs than theirs. So in short, how to get rid of this silly iron head? Any help would be appreciated.
change csc, use SamKEY (paid) or SamFwFRPTool (free), then flash frimware you need with odin with CSC file (this will wipe your phone and reset to factory), not use home_csc in odin

Thank you. I downloaded totally different firmware files with different CSC code and the problem has solved.
SamFwFRPTool is a tool I use to change my CSC software channel. The way I understand it you need to change the CSC in the program before flashing the u1 software on it so you get a full unlock as opposed to a partial one.
I might be wrong here though so don't take everything I say as being true.
I have an unlocked S22 Ultra and Verizon as my phone provider. Is there any way that I can get the Verizon features like video calling? I contacted Verizon and Samsung and they are giving me the runaround. I saw that there was a way for t-mobile, but I want Verizon. I like the native calling because I can take it off of speak, I cannot do that with Duo. Thank you so much in advance.
If it matters to you that much you can always flash the U carrier-branded firmware. But then (it's highly recommend) that you clean flash and lose data. You're not going to get VZ video calling on U1
Will I be able to use Verizon Other apps properly?

Ok before you jump in, read the posts carefully. I guess you have a U1 (us unlocked) and want to switch to U (us carrier branded).
Make sure you are selecting the proper section U vs U1. Then choose the proper firmware you wish to flash. Keep in mind the following:
1. There are multiple files because there have been updates so make sure you pick the newest one.
2. Use Odin 3.13 patched
3. Read and ask question on that thread if needed, and you will get help..
BACK UP EVERYTHING as you will wipe clean your device.
Boot the device with verizon sim once completed.

You are correct on what I am trying to do.
I downloaded Odin 3.13 patched and Samsung Phone Firmware. I am confused about the BL, AP, Cp, CSC, and USERDATA information.
Read the post carefully... it explains what you have to put...
basically, you unzip the firmware file and you need to load the files in Odin. (BL/AP/CP/CSC) keep in mind that there are 2 CSC files, one that is just CSC and another HOME_CSC flashing one or the other is the difference between a clean flash (with full wipe) or a dirty wipe (no user data deleted). Please READ the thread I pointed you to to be clear on what you are doing. If you are confused about the files you need to read some more.
I highly recommend NOT converting to Verizon's software. Having started out with the Verizon version, there was a ton of bloatware, some of which that could not be removed. Samsung's completely free SmartCall filtering was also removed for Verizon's "free" Call Filter app which requires a paid subscription for full functionality.
The U1 firmware can do everything the U firmware can do except native Verizon to Verizon video calls. Even then, some would argue that Google Duo is a better option as it works to iPhones and non Verizon subscribers.

My family has Verizon. I can use Duo but Duo also uses speakerphone. When my son is asleep using the native calling is beneficial for me because I can take the speakerphone off.

I want to make sure I have clarification before I work on this evening and you have experience doing all of this. I have downloaded and unzipped the Odin and Verizon firmware. As far as the CSC and homecsc which one would I use to wipe my phone clean to get the Verizon features.
CSC will wipe all data, HOME CSC will NOT wipe data.
You should also be able to remove all Verizon bloatware through abd commands or using the universal android debloater.

I am trying to add the Verizon bloatware. I bought the unlocked S22 ultra 1Tb
Purchased Verizon locked S22 Ultra from Samsung
Switched to T-Mobile 3 months later.
Verizon said they "unlocked" it and I'm able to use the T-Mobile SIM.
What I want to get rid of is the Verizon boot logo and the pre-installed Verizon apps. Basically I want unlocked firmware.
I downloaded SM-S908U1 XAA and Odin will not load it (I'm using latest ODIN patched). I tried every single thing.
I ended up loading SM-S908U TMB, it flashed, but it's still on Verizon!
Is this hopeless at this point? Am I doing something wrong? Am I downloading the wrong firmware?

If Odin is failing it's your version of Odin is not correct
I had this problem in the past with other Samsung phones, so I only buy from Samsung.. I could never get around it. Maybe there’s a hexadecimal editor if you’re feeling brave… but can you even get root with a carrier device?
