Greetings,
I am a new user here. I just bought Galaxy S10e and I really like the phone, but the problem is that I ordered it from USA (I live in the Republic of Georgia). Originally the phone was from AT&T, but the seller had it unlocked for any GSM carriers and it works fine with my Georgian sim card. The only problem is that I do not receive any software updates. It is stuck on Android 9 and One UI 1.0. When I try to check for updates, it says that my software is up to date. The same happens with Smart Switch.
I tried Frija and Odin. My CSC is G970UOYN1ASD9 and PDA is G970USQS1ASD9. There is no way to download firmware for my own country's CSC, because there is no firmware for SM-G970U (Snapdragon chipset), in Georgia they only sell Exynos ones officially. So, I tried to find updates with CSC ATT in Frija and it does not give me anything. I tried XAA and XAS (which is for unlocked phones) and still nothing. I tried TMK (I think it is for MetroPCS) and USC (This one is for US Cellular) and also TMB (T-Mobile) and they do have Android 11 firmware. But now I am afraid I will break something if I install above mentioned firmware to my device. Or maybe I will not break anything by changing the CSC, but maybe there is also a chance that if I install the above mentioned ones, the phone will get locked on these carriers and I won't be able to use my sim card. Is logical, or am I just overthinking it?
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
don't flash your nations CSC- that shouldn't matter. Snapdragons LTE bands should be good enough to work internationally
go and reflash a USC or XAA rom with patched ODIN... I had to do this for my phone and OTA started working once it was on the correct CSC
you could even flash it to the latest firmware if you wanted too.

Thank you for your answer.
What do you mean by correct CSC? I believe, my phone is on correct CSC now. I have already pasted it and in about phone > Software information > Service Provider it says ATT/ATT/ATT. But it seems that ATT doesn't receive updates outside US.
I cannot seem to find firmware for XAA/XAS, there is one for USC but I have already downloaded TMK. Is there any difference if I install USC or TMK? (TMK is MetroPCS).

Hi GSamkh... Did you upgraded to 11? Im trying to do the oposite, downgrade from Android 11 to 9. If you didnt the upgrade, can you check if the secure startup (or secure boot) its avaliable? Since in Android 10 and 11 isnt...
Seams that secure startup works on Galaxy S9 with Android 10 upgraded from 9.

Greetings,
I have already updated to Android 11 using U1 XAA firmware and it works great. I used Frija and then Odin if anyone wants do to do this. Weird thing happened though - when I flashed the firmware and when Odin did it's job, the laptop suddenly shut down and I couldn't turn it back on. I had to disassemble it and unplug the integrated battery, plug it back on and fortunately it turned on again.
As far as your question goes, I am sorry but I cannot check it since I am already on Android 11.

Hi GSamkh,
I am experiencing the same issue as you, purchased an AT&T branded SM-G970U for use in Australia. After you flashed to Android 11 using U1 XAA firmware, do you now receive OTA updates? cheers

Hey guys!
Yesterday I got a Sprint carried S7 SM-930P as a gift. The only problem is that although it works flawlessly on my sim cards (I'm not in the US), I found out that the 930P won't get the 7.0 update. Is it possible to flash the G930U firmware without messing my phone up?

I wouldn't do it unless your absolutely sure, I wouldn't be so sure if it's for a different model number. If they were able to have the same firmware flashed Samsung would just release it, they obviously didn't because it requires extra effort, pointing towards the conclusion that the firmware is not flashable on 930P

You can flash it, i have done it myself. There are many guides over here that tell you how. All S7s in the USA are the same exact thing hardware wise, only the software (firmware) is different. Am currently running SM-G930U firmware on an SM-G930VL S7. @op the sprint s7 (SM-G930P) already has android 7 as of last 3 weeks

SM-G930P converted to SM-G930U
Hey guys. I was able to flash the sm-g930u firmware downloaded from sammobile... the problem I have now.. I have a blank csc. No product code.. and on software updates it fails to register my device. Also in settings . I have some weird options. Which some of them are repeated. I will upload screenshots.. Also there's a system UPDATE option and also software option. Which one of them fails to register and the other only works with Wi-Fi. Should I revert back to my stock sprint firmware. If so do I need to wait for a firmware with same build date or newer. Because on sammobile haven't uploaded a firmware with a build date on par with the current install. Then I would have to wait right. ? If using a older firmware it will brick or do something to my phone ?

Thanks for the reply. Already solve.. what happen i flash home_csc. So ir was like that. But then i made a back up.. and flash again using the csc file. And all work perfect. At first phone was with the SPT csc.. then after i restored phone and pop in my sim it did something.. and now I'm with XAA csc. Works perfect. And could receive updates (phone registered). Just waiting for the july security patch update. Btw phone works better in every way.. battery even last longer..

Hey Buddy. I would recommend doing a full back up on your phone., using Smart Switch app
It saves all your numbers, message, etc..
Then proceed to flash the latest firmware for the Region or Provider. Using (CSC) not (home_csc) which means flashing the csc will wipe your phone data. Phone will be like new again. Proceed tru set up. Loggin in gmail. Proceed to update smart switch app if not found in apps. Then restore from the back up file. And good to go.

actually all S7 are not the same hardware fyi. The Sm-g930p has chipsets snapdragon and uses cpu procesaor quad core but the sm-g930F has the chipset Exynos8 cpu is octa-CORE the chipsets vary from these two. Flashing firmware for one chipset to the other may cause major problems bot to mention bootloops.. but I looked up sm-g930U and it uses the same processor as the P model.snapdragon

He said all S7's in the USA are the same, which is correct. Exynos/930F isn't sold in the US, only way to get one is to grey import.
You can flash any USA model's firmware onto any other USA model because they're all the same hardware.
anyone running the 930p with current update how did you get around the binary 6 lock all the 930U firmware versions I can find are binary 4 I think t-mobile is 5. Anyone got links to a firmware we can push to sprint variants that are binary 6.

You can't get around it. It is currently impossible to "downgrade" the bootloader binary version. All US carrier variants are version 4, except Sprint that is 6. You are stuck.
The only way it would ever be possible is if (a) one of the carriers, in a future software update, increases their bootloader version to 6, or (b) if someone figures out how to unlock the bootloader for the Snapdragon models.
Neither of those options is likely to happen, ever. You might get lucky and hope the G930U unlocked version has a higher number (it hasn't been released for Oreo yet), but I wouldn't bet on it.

Blame Sprint; there is really no reason for them to do what they did except keep users from switching their phone to another carrier. This isn't a Samsung thing. I don't believe you would be able to do this with any other Android phone, either (i.e. go backwards in bootloader versions).
Hi, I have just bought a brand new galaxy S7, model SM-G930F.
Although it is an international model, it carries a snapdragon 820 processor.
I am told , that it is a USA model, built under Verizon.
SM-G930F is supposed to be a global model with exynos, does anyone knoes what is the phone I bought?
Anyway, my real problem is, that the "updates software" option is missing, in "about phone" list.
I am stuck in android 6.0.1
I checked it is not rooted and it must be a genuine phone.
Can anybody guide me through solutions?
I would really appreciate any help.
Thank you
Moving to general S7 Q&A since you say it's a SM-G930F.
Check the back of the phone and verify the phone model. You should be able to update through other options like Kies, unless they've changed that recently.

It's not a G930F if it has a Snapdragon processor
Commonly faked to look like G930F by editing firmware / stickers / model numbers etc, more likely to be the G930V if it's Verizon
Boot to download mode and check the model number in there, that's the only one that can not be faked
(Volume Down & Home & power)
And they likely removed the update option from settings to prevent any problems of the phone updating to either the wrong firmware, or removing their fake edits with a V update
Flash the proper firmware with ODIN 3.12.3 or newer from updato.com once you know your model S7
Galaxy s7 "updates software" option missing
Dear Durham,
Thanks for the help.
Yes, you are right; it is G930V.I have been tricked...
I have visited updato.com and found 12 variants of S7 firmware.
My bootlader version is - 6.0.1 November 20, 16 USA (Verizon) (VZW) G930VVRU4API3
Shall I download and install this one and afterwards make a manual software update or
shall I install the latest - 7.0 August 25, 17 USA (Verizon) (VZW) G930VVRS4BQH1 ?
After successful installation, will these firmware fake modifications( to G930F) disappear permanently?
I am much obliged
Thanks

The ROMs from updato.com are full ROMs so you can just flash the latest / newest one and you'll be 100% up to date once it boots
Use CSC and not HOME_CSC though as you are going to want to reset after the flash to clear any hacks from the previous ROM (This will wipe the device so backup any important files first)
CSC, AP, BL and CP
Yes this will permanently remove any modifications from the faked ROM
Wish me luck, I will give it a go!
You have been most informative, many thanks.
Good luck :good:

The good news is that the verizon edition can be rooted and is network unlocked from the factory so as long as ure carrier supports the bands it will still work for you on a side note flash the u firmware not verizon and u wont have any verizon bloatware out of the gate either
Mad scientist, thank you for your intervention.
Just to be clear, which firmware do you suggest me to install, not the verizon G930V?
Could I install the G930F for my country (Europe).
I thought they are incompatible...
As my bootloader version G930V I think I would better stick with the V version.
Are you suggesting not to upgrade to nougat and reinstall factory installed 6.0.1 and better wait for 8?
Yes you are right, I am not good at twiking.Will I have drain baterry issues with nougat?
Dear Durham,
Emergency help!!!!
I installed it succesfully but now it does not recognize my sim card, as it is from a non USA country.
Should I reflash a different firmware? F or U ?
I am from Greece
It seems to be working...
The Verizon logo appears upon starting the phone
But in language selection, there is only English and asian languages available.
Software update finally appeared.
In order to have my langage back, should I reflash with the U ( unlocked version) or the F (global)?
No mobile data.
Maybe I am calling through Verizon.Roaming.Expensive.Scarry...!!
He means that the G930U firmware will flash fine on the G930V, it is the same firmware but without the Verizon bloatware added
You can not flash any other firmwares, it just happens that those two are compatible with each other
Flash straight to the latest
So I shall flash the G930U?
Will my sim card be recognized and mobile data be active.
Nougat 7 or MM 6-your opinion, again?
thnks
No idea if your SIM will be recognised, but if it's not working with the V firmware it's worth a try
As I said, flash the latest firmware which is Nougat
Personally I would be contacting the seller and asking for a refund / exchange for a real G930F that you paid for
firmware
I tried, but he is not cooperative.
How about F version-it worked with it before ?
(only it was modified with the dissapearance of system update.)

No you cannot flash any other model firmware, that was NOT the G930F firmware, it was a hacked / faked U or V firmware
I think you better read a good few threads before going much further or you're going to end up with a brick
Contact the seller and request a refund
Don't suppose you can flash CSC files of the 930F on 930V?
Dear all,
Thank you for your help and interest in my problem.
This is indeed a great forum!!!
I tried to flash the F version, but thankfully odin stopped it from the beginning, presenting "failed" message.
I suppose if it continued, I would end up with a brick as Durham suggested.
Finally I flashed he U version, as mad scientist suggested, and up to now it works like a charm.
As Durham advised, I used CSC and not HOME_CSC and the hack was eliminated.
Sim card is recognized, no bloatware and mobile data working.
Let's hope it will continue like this...!!!
Only glitch, not everything is in my home language ( message icon name and in settings-the menu options-any idea how to fix it? - I removed english and left only my language as selection, but onle these remain untranslated)-small problem
I have learned a valuble lesson from my adventure.
Ebay, an organized platfrom may it be, it cannot control each individual's deceivals, so one must be extra wary when buyng from unofficial sources, nomatter good reviews from others...
Thanks again to you all for your help, I would be in serious position right now, if it weren't for you guys.
I have flashed both the ATT and USC firmwares for the SM-N970U1 but still no wifi calling option. At this point I don't know if I've actually flashed the ATT firmware or not. Odin says Pass. Under the Service Provider SW ver. it makes mention of ATT/ATT/XAA but I'm not sure if that means the phone is on the ATT network or if that's firmware info. How do I tell what firmware I've actually flashed?

I used the home_csc file instead of the csc. That should not have been an issue. I assume I'm still on the unlocked firmware but I have no clue. I don't see any AT&T bloatware or Logo. I downloaded the firmwares from the sammobile site. Even downloaded from the samfirm app just in case. So I flashed 3 times. No difference.

Maybe ATT doesn't put their firmware online as I tried searching and couldn't find on SamFirm. I am on T-Mobile and we have 2 different firmware versions.
If I type in SamFirm the following:
1) SM-N970U1 and region: TMB - I will get pretty much same unlocked firmware that I had on the phone, nothing will pretty much change after flashing this firmware.
2) SM-N970U and region: TMB - I will get T-Mobile firmware that is on their branded devices and all features.
Ask the OP in the below thread for latest ATT firmware file(userdata). If you recently flashed firmware, but the firmware in the thread is a bit older, you may not be able to flash until newer version is released.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10/how-to/n970u-n970u1-firmware-links-t3957705
So should I search for SM-N970U and ATT instead?
I did also do an ota update when I first got my phone so I have the August security update. Not sure if that's an issue since I have newer update?

Normally that is correct, but it doesn't look like ATT is putting their firmware up on server as other carriers do.
Go to the link I provided of that thread. Click on the first link that says U firmware. Then look a bit down where is says: SGO - 1 - 9.0. After this link opens, you will see first 2 files: N970U_SGO_1.zip and USERDATA_ATT... You can try to download these files, extract to a folder and flash including the userdata file. If it fails, then you may need to wait until this person provides new firmware and you will need to download the firmware and that userdata_att
Yeah At&t is horrible about posting firmware. I usually just use USC firmware and once installed it will provision to At&t based on sim and you will get all At&t carrier options such as Volte..wificalling..advanced messaging.

Thanks yeah that's what I'm about to do. My mistake was downloading from the U1 section instead of U. So confusing. Why even have any carrier firmwares under the U1 section?

Are you on the July security patch? I just did this process with the ATT firmware and it says up to date with July security patch. On the U1 unlocked firmware, I was on August already. I just wanted to be sure I didnt mess up something and it wont update properly.
I am on the August security update. That was part of the USC firmware. I didn't do an ota update after flashing so at this point I don't know if ota updates will work for me.

Thanks. What did you put for Model# and region? I input SM-N970U and USA(AWS) and nothing pops up. Using samfirm 0.4.0
Use USC for region
Hello everyone, this is my first post here.
I have a slight problem. I have an unlocked verizon Note 10+ 5G SM-976V and I changed CSC to GCF a while back because the verizon CSC had bloatware.
Now i have GCF/GCF/VZW. Im stuck on March 1 2020 security patch. The phone works great and everything is working well. I want to upgrade to android 11. That is somewhat not possible because when i try to upgrade from my phone it says, 'Your current software version isnt supported. Visit a service center.'
What firmware is for me? How can i get an firmware that can fix my usual updates? Or if i have upgrade firmware on odin, what version should i be choosing?
I do not live in the US anymore, phone was unlocked on verizon. All sims seem to be working on it. Attaching the files necessary for your study. Please help?

Have a look here for official ota updates from Verizon: https://www.verizon.com/support/samsung-galaxy-note-10-plus-5g-update/
If it does not work and you have an unlocked bootloader, you can flash latest stock firmware with Odin on pc.
I purchased an "unlocked" S10e off Swappa. It works on my Mint Mobile account just fine. But, it has the ATT carrier branding and bloatware. And, it's stuck at Android 10/October 2020 Security Update/OneUI 2.5.
Can I Odin flash the U1 firmware without causing any problems? It's my understanding that the G970U1 is essentially the same device, but sold by Samsung as SIM unlocked and with no carrier branding/bloatware.
If I download the U1, would I / should I push BL, AP, CP, CSC *and* USERDATA?
Thanks.

I ended up using the Samsung Firmware downloader from here
Samsung Firmware Downloader is a free cross-platform tool to download software updates for Galaxy devices
Looking to download software updates for your Samsung Galaxy device? Check out Samsung Firmware Downloader - it's free and open source!
www.xda-developers.com
Pulled down the latest G970U1 with region XAA. It handled the decryption.
But reading folks having issues going from a U to U1, vice versa, or separate carriers, I found this and downloaded the latest version (originally found linked from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-cant-flash-u1-with-odin-etc-att-s21.4238775/)
Patched Odin 3.13.1
For those looking for a modified, modded, or patched odin that is a newer build than all the fake and renamed prince comsy 3.12.3 versions floating around. I patch recent Odin versions to offer similar functionality to the princecomsy; in that...
forum.xda-developers.com
I then extracted the five files and pulled them into the patcheD Odin. Powered off the phone. Started download mode (down vol+bixby button) and plugged in. Odin saw the phone, I clicked start and it finished in only a few minutes.
Is U1s bootloader locked like the u Version?
What about the Canada W?

Can we get an update? How did it turn out? Were you able to get OTA updates? Everything work okay?
I might try this at the library tomorrow. Downloading firmware really sucks without wifi.

I don't believe this process provides an unlocked bootloader.

A little scary process, but overall I'm happy and have had great success. I've received two monthly Security updates since flashing. All the branding/bloat is gone (well, still have Samsung bloat, but that is easily dealt with).

I have bought myself an s10e 256 GB from the US and i am stuck on Android 10 June 2020. ATT wont give me any Updates because i am i Germany and do not have an ATT sim card.
The phone is unlocked as my german sim works fine.
I have ATT bloatware on there ....
The phone tells me i am on TE8
SmartSwitch tells me it has the latest FW
So can someone point me to a newbie description how to to Flash Android 11 onto it.
Never done this before. Never rooted but jailbroken all my iPhones. Android is comlicated in this regard.

hey, im using g970u from verizon, and im using it indonesia far from usa and it work with my carrier. But i want to change the firmware with the g970u1 for fast update and latest security patch. i Downloded the VZW g970u1 and trying to flashing with odin 3.14.4, 3.14.1, 3.13.1 (including Patched version) but nothing is work, it stuck at setup connection and ended up with fail. How i solve this? many thanks
Excellent share! I purchased an s10e snapdragon unlocked version SM-G970U.
The service provider/Carrier version was ATT/XAA/ATT.
It had all the AT&T bloatware, but my simcard worked fine in the phone (I am based in India)
Furthermore, it had Android 11 and I was not able to upgrade to 12 as it kept saying "phone is up to date" whenever I searched for new updates.
It also dint have that mobile data toggle switch in the drop down task bar.
I followed all the steps in the second post of this thread and I was able to upgrade it to Android 12!
Now the service provider/Carrier version shows as = XAA/XAA/ATT (SM-G970U1). All the ATT bloatware is gone and the mobile data toggle switch is now visible in the drop down task bar. My simcard works fine too!
Good stuff. Thank you @dwcasey .
