Question Help - In need of T-mobile unlock app - Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

Hi.
In short I am asking someone who was the T-mobile firmware if they can extract the T-mobile unlock app. I am hoping I can use the unlock app without the need to reflash my phone to the T-mobile firmware.
Long story.
I thought my wife's phone was unlocked succesfully and flashed the unlocked firmware over the T-mobile firmware. Weeks later come to find out it's not actually unlocked we were just using a MVNO that is on T-mobile antenna... which I should have known. Really want to avoid making my wife setup a bunch of stuff again, even after backing up and restoring so looking for some help.
Is anyone able to extract the unlock app, or have a better way of backing up and restoring without the need for root?
TIA

Thanks for the response, but installing all the ones I found online say that my device is incompatible.
Which makes sense, the ones online are all ancient.

What message are you receiving when you insert Non TMobile or MVNO sim?
AFAIK, you will need TMobile firmware for unlock to work. Newer TMobile phones don't have a dedicated unlock app. It is baked in connection settings.

Was afraid of that. It asks for an unlock code. Will probably have to just bite the bullet and flash back to the TMobile firmware.
Maybe flashing with Home_CSC will work and still allow me to keep my wifes settings intact.

Worth giving a shot with Home_CSC. Also Samsung backup works very well except Samsung Pay/Google Pay which you have to set again.

Ill probably try it tonight. As far as Samsung backup, did you mean smart switch? All the apps, contacts, photos come over but many apps still require setting up again Regardless thanks for the comments!

New T-Mobile devices don't use the unlock app anymore. Device unlock requests are done through connection settings.

Ended up flashing back to T-mobile firmware using Home_CSC instead of CSC and I was able to successfully unlock as well as keep my wifes settings...
But i tried flashing back to unlocked firmware using Home_CSC and couldn't boot. Said user data was corrupt. I tried 4 times without any difference. Luckily I was able to flash back to T-mobile firmware again with Home_CSC and it worked fine
This may be common knowledge I wasnt aware of but it appears:
Unlocked firmware + Home_CSC -> Carrier Firmware is ok
BUT carrier firmware + Home_CSC -> Unlocked Firmware is not
Thanks to anyone to commented and read.

It's contract there I believe

General G996U and G996U1 Firmware Links and Flashing Discussion Here

For those who aren't already aware, G996U is the model number of all of the US carrier versions of the S21+. The G996U1 is the model number of the same device, but sold by Samsung SIM unlocked and with no carrier bloatware. Firmware is 100% interchangeable among these models: any U or U1 firmware version can be flashed to any U or U1 device at any time, assuming that you're not trying to downgrade the bootloader. A "U to U" or "U1 to U1" flash does not require a factory reset, but changing from one firmware to the other will require one. Also, U firmware is identical for the 4 base files (AP, BL, CP, CSC) for each individual build, no matter which carrier it comes from. So if you download 2 different carrier versions of the exact same build, the 4 base files will be identical. Where the firmware differs is in the USERDATA file - that's where the carrier bloatware and customizations reside.
Manual Odin flashing is designed for those who:
- want to manually update to a newer version of U firmware on their U device, either because they don't want to wait for their carrier's OTA or because OTAs aren't working on their device, or a different carrier got a new feature/patch before they did
- want to flash U1 firmware to their U device
- want to convert from U1 firmware to carrier U firmware
- want to convert from one carrier's U firmware (with all apps and bloatware) to a different carrier's U firmware (with all apps and bloatware)
For those who aren't already aware, anyone can now download firmware for almost any Samsung device any time that they want, via the various firmware download tools posted here on XDA like SamFirm or Frija. There are threads and info about them here on XDA so I won't waste time explaining - do a search if you're not already familiar with these tools. But they only provide whatever the latest/newest/current version is - nothing older. I pay for a subscription to a site that gets the official releases (usually) before they hit the firmware download tools, so that's where my files come from.
This is not a "beginner's guide to Odin flashing" -type post/thread, so I won't list basic, step-by-step flashing instructions. My threads are geared towards those who already know what they're doing. If you're new to manually flashing Samsung firmware (or haven't done it in a long time), I recommend you consult one of those "beginner's" guides- there are tons of them here on XDA.
Happy flashing!
U firmware: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=322091
U1 firmware: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=322092
Notes:
- DON'T QUOTE THE OP WHEN YOU REPLY, kthx
- I have lots of threads just like this one for other Samsung flagships, if it interests you. For those who have already made use of my previous threads for a different device and are upgrading to an S21, welcome back
- My zips are compressed extra small for space and bandwidth savings. The default Windows extractor can't handle it, so you'll need a 3rd party tool like 7zip, WinRAR, etc
- it's quite time consuming to download the files, zip them up, and upload them to AFH. And, I do threads like this for every single Sx and Note x model, so I won't be uploading every single version. The only full builds that I upload are ones where I get access to a new bootloader and/or Android version early, before they hit the firmware download tools.
- My naming method for folders on AFH is: build - bootloader - Android version
So "SAT - 1 - 9.0" means the full build number ends in SAT, it's bootloader version 1, and it's Android 9.0. When bootloader and Android versions increment, the first build to have those changes will have its folder notated appropriately.
- HOME CSC file keeps data intact; using the other CSC will wipe data. Flashing USERDATA will also wipe data.
- Since AT&T doesn't allow their firmware to be publicly available (for any of their devices), I'll try to always upload at least one USERDATA per bootloader increment for AT&T (and Cricket, if they get this model). I'll also upload any full builds if AT&T is the only carrier to get that specific build, because you won't be able to find the files anywhere else.
- For identifying USERDATAS, and to know what region/CSC to use in the firmware download tools if you're downloading yourself:
AIO = Cricket (not available via firmware download tools)
ATT = AT&T (not available via firmware download tools)
BST = Boost Mobile
CCT = Xfinity Mobile (Comcast)
CHA = Spectrum Mobile (Charter)
DSH = Dish Network
SPR = Sprint
TMB = T-Mobile
TMK = Metro PCS
USC = US Cellular
VZW = Verizon (available via firmware download tools, but Manual Entry is required - Auto will not work)
XAA = U1 firmware
- the correct procedure for switching from one carrier's firmware to another is:
1. 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
Initial U firmware and AT&T USERDATA are posted, along with U1 firmware. U firmware is not yet accessible in the firmware download tools like SamFirm and Frija, but if anyone wants a different carrier's USERDATA (for flashing bloatware to a U1 device or for converting a U device from one carrier's bloatware to a different one), let me know and I'll get it for you

This thread is in the S21+ forum, not the S21 forum.
This thread is for model numbers G996U and G996U1, not G991U or G991U1.
If you're looking for S21 firmware, that will be found in the S21 forum
I agree with you
Does the firmware control the SIM lock? So, can you flash the U1-XAA firmware and use say a phone purchased from AT&T on another carrier? Or do you need to do the SIM unlock before flashing?

SIM unlock always goes much deeper than firmware. Flashing U1 will never automatically unlock any model - the unlock has to be done separately. If desired, I can provide a recommendation for a professional 3rd party business to do the unlocking, for any interested users who may not meet the carrier's unlock requirement(s).
Thanks. That's what I figured, but wanted to make sure. I like to get off of the AT&T firmware as quickly as possible as you can't get their updates unless you have an active SIM in the phone.

3.14.1 patched
I don't have my S21+ yet but it will be here soon. I ordered from Samsung and selected the Verizon version as unlocked was considerably more expensive.
Does anyone know what Verizon specific bloatware the S21+ has?
Are there certain apps which can be uninstalled with the U1 version but not the Verizon U version?
Are there any potential speed benefits on the 5G network that would be lost using the U1 version, or features like tethering that won't work?
For updates in the future, would they arrive faster on the U1 version, slower, or the same?
My main purpose in flashing from U to U1 is to free up the maximum amount of space of the 128 GB while still retaining 100% of the speed and features I would have with the Verizon version.
Thank you for educating me! It's been a couple years since I flashed my Note 8.
I order a unlocked S21+ U1 version straight from Samsung and didn't have to put in any VZW info.
There is a buttload of Samsung bloatware but no VZW except fot MyVZX

Dialer codes usually don't work on VZW firmware, whether U or U1. But they almost always work on TMB and all others.

Question Samsung S21 VZN need unlocked or converted to ATT. Tried odin.. Maybe I am an idiot.

Hello.
Got a free phone from a buddy S21 5G. I am wanting to swap it for the S10* 1tb I gave my wife to use it was a bit expensive. So I'd rather ti go back in the box.
Popped the sim in it, it works makes calls sometimes, sometimes not. Texts seem to always work, I am currently on ATT I would prefer to have that firmware as I live in the stick with ho cell service. ATT has wifi calling which is pretty much a necessity here.
So what exactly do I need to do to get this off the VZN fir
Hello. Could you all provide me the links for what I need? Found a link that had a patched Odin plus the firmware. I installed in booted how I was suppose to. Tried to install in and it errored out. Also. I do not know what file to select for the user data selection, I do not mind deleting all data as it 8s hacked up and can put ti back with smart switch.
Hello, did you manage to flash the phone?, I'm stuck with a similar case, mine is a factory unlocked unit from Verizon, it turns out that even if it is factory unlocked, is locked after a few minutes by verizon, I have tried everything to get rid of the VZW firmware but it seems that Verizon locks the bootloader so I can't flash it (it passes om odin and everything but the firmware doesn't change)
I even paid SamKEY credits to change the CSC but it didn't change either.

How To Guide F711U and F711U1 Firmware Links and Flashing Discussion Here

(WIP, files are currently processing and uploading)
For those who aren't already aware, F711U is the model number of all of the US carrier versions of the Z Flip3. The F711U1 is the model number of the same device, but sold by Samsung SIM unlocked and with no carrier bloatware. Firmware is 100% interchangeable among these models: any U or U1 firmware version can be flashed to any U or U1 device at any time, assuming that you're not trying to downgrade the bootloader. A "U to U" or "U1 to U1" flash does not require a factory reset, but changing from one firmware to the other will require one. Also, U firmware is identical for the 4 base files (AP, BL, CP, CSC) for each individual build, no matter which carrier it comes from. So if you download 2 different carrier versions of the exact same build, the 4 base files will be identical. Where the firmware differs is in the USERDATA file - that's where the carrier bloatware and customizations reside.
Manual Odin flashing is designed for those who:
- want to manually update to a newer version of U firmware on their U device, either because they don't want to wait for their carrier's OTA or because OTAs aren't working on their device, or a different carrier got a new feature/patch before they did
- want to flash U1 firmware to their U device
- want to convert from U1 firmware to carrier U firmware

Flashed a physical T-Mobile F711U to a F711U1 XAA firmware using Odin(Can't stand the bright pink boot up animations).
Flash worked perfectly. But, when I tried to test doing an update from Google settings it failed every time with "Registration Failed". I flashed the device back to the T-Mobile F711U firmware and was able to update without issue.
Not sure if you ran into this issue, but it's worth noting you might not be able to update the phone if the carriers are checking the Firmware.
Edit: Also forgot to mention, had to use the patched Odin due to the Firmware Model mismatch. Phone does work properly though.

From "Settings" App > "Software Update" > "Download and Install" and pressing the "Download and Installing.
I get "Connecting to server" and then immediately "Registration Failed" I've attempted over Wi-Fi and with that option toggled off.
This could also be the phone is new and T-Mobile doesn't have the F711U1 XAA firmware at their carrier level, but the registration failed annoys me. On F711U (official T-Mobile firmware) I simply get a notification that the device is up to date.

I flashed it back to the T-Mobile firmware, (F711UOYN1AUGB (F711U TMB) and the issue went away.
I did flash it again to the XAA to confirm the problem this evening. Never retained data during the process. Factory reset and removed my account information (Google and Samsung) before updating the firmware each time.
I've done this on a few phones in the past. If I'm making a blunder in the process causing this then I'm truly sorry for wasting anyone's time.

Well UG7 is the latest that's available. So yes, I would expect you to get an error.
Once an update is available, if the phone is still giving the same error, then you can worry about it
Hello, well from my understanding Xfinity is bootloader unlockable after 60days and fully played for. I am wondering if anyone is planning on making a thread for Xfinity specifically.

I think network unlock got mixed up with bootloader unlock. You can unlock the phones for use with another carrier after X days and completed payment.

1. Thom Browne *is* U1 firmware
2. USERDATA belongs to U firmware, not U1. So I have absolutely no idea. You'll have to try it and see what happens
Have successfully flashed F711U1 to F711W. Everything working fine. Used Odin 3.14, CSC_OMC_OYV, and working on Telus with all available features working.
Please note that AFTER the flash, you will be prompted to reset the device to stock. Reason being is that it needs to install the appropriate CSC linked to the inserted SIM card.
Can anyone confirm if cross flashing different build firmwares that it will unlock the unlock bootloader option?
Currently on carrier firmware for TMobile and I'm wondering if this is possible or if the u1 firmware has the unlock bootloader option available

Question Change Service Provider Software

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??

I found solutions and flash the firmware with Verizon userdata, but, still shwoing everything on ATT. Not Verizon.
I even flash with factory reset. Yes, I used Odin 3.13.1b patched and it passed...
Do you have any idea?

Try google to search for a different csc. After that I don't have a clue...
I got it working. Thank you. your "Flash a U1 software and VZW userdata." help me a lot.
I did find out good firmware and software at Sammobile and now everything works as Verizon.
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.

Question Verizon help unlocked s22 ultra

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?

How do I do all of that? Is there a detailed video with the step I can follow? This will be the first time doing something like this. This is my first unlocked phone.

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.
