I have an AT&T unlocked S10+ that I've been running the T-Mobile firmware on since day one. Now I want to go back to the AT&T firmware and I have downloaded multiple AT&T firmwares. Each time I try to flash the firmware using Odin, it fails.
I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. The phone has the latest June update for T-Mobile. I wipe the device in recovery and then boot into download mode.
Anyone here please tell me what I am doing wrong.

What fail message is it giving?
If the T-Mobile firmware is bootloader version 2 the att firmware has to be bootloader version 2. You can't go back to version 1.

Hi I'm trying to flash the T-Mobile firmware from sammobile.com, but whenever I try, I get an error at 32% when it says Installing System Update. I attempted to flash CSC,AP,BL, and CP with it saying PASS in Odin. I really need the T-Mobile firmware and am wondering if it is possible to do? I determined that I cant install CSC files and get the error when I try. Any Solutions?
SM-G950U
Odin 3.12.3
T-Mobile Firmware:
PDA: G950USQU1AQD9
CSC: G950UOYN1AQD9
I'm having the same problem with an ATT phone flash with the US "U" unlocked version firmware. When I don't flash the csc it will start up only with the USB plug in but shut down after the beginning startup
Search for a "modified Odin". It was what I used to be able to flash unlocked firmware on a 7 and 7 edge a few months ago. The "normal" Odin wouldn't let me do it, but the modified one did. Though you may need to wait until it's been updated....I haven't checked it in awhile.
Still no solution to avoid the error to 32%?
Try this Odin. This is the one I used to flash the Canadian firmware on mine.
I managed with odin version 3.12.5! But only with BL AP and CP!
When I add CSC I get the error at 32%!
So a priori everything works, I no longer have the Verizon overlay (nor the logo at startup) more by cons I have duplicates in the settings menu ...
What is the CSC file?

The Canadian firmware you got it or? On sammobile I find it not:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950U/
The Canadian firmware is stock or operator?
I would have access to all the bands?
Its the firmware with the "w" at the end. Please read this thread for all the information on doing this and make sure you want to do it.

so to do this we actually have to go to the canadian firmware first, do the csc change then flash the Tmo firmware? You can't just flash the Tmo Firmware via the modded Odin? Just to save confusion.
I would imagine it's worth it just to get the proper network options, VOLTE, WiFi calling and such.

This is the exact thread that I used. Follow the steps and you can skip engboot. If you flash the full Canadian firmware, its impossible to reverse. So, only flash whatever is in the steps. I successfully went from Verizon To T-Mobile and then back to Verizon. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/switch-to-carrier-firmware-100-t3609487
This tread also helps, who wants to flash their phones: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/snap-guide-flashing-standard-fw-carrier-t3625817
ok so, i have a straight talk s10 and i want to install verizon software on it. i have already tried using odin but, it still comes back as a straight talk software. i am getting no errors on odin and it says it successfully passed. what am i doing wrong??
You have to first flash SM-N975U1 (US unlocked) firmware first onto the device and then you can flash the U branded software you want. When you want to switch carrier firmware you must flash U1 firmware first.
Hi i am new here and need help with updating my Samsung note 9 i still have a baseband N960USQS1ARI5 but will like to update to the latest firmware. i'm using an unlocked AT&T phone. can anyone guide me? I'm not sure if updating the firmware will lock the phone and the process to update, do I just update the firmware in stages as the updates were released till i get to the latest update or can i update straight up to the latest? I am thinking of using Odin, is that a safe way to do this? any help will be appreciated. Lastly, can I change from the AT&T firmware to lets say a none carrier based firmware so as to stop seeing the AT&T logo on boot up? Maybe switch to a firmware that supports global or international? Does anyone have links to an unlocked firmware update i can use, as well? Please help!
I must state that the phone never updates automatically as it always says the software is up to date.

to your last point, at&t phones are notoriously bad at updating
factory unlocked phones will remain forever unlocked and phones unlocked that are bespoke to a specific carrier will also remain unlocked even with Odin flashes providing that the method employed to unlock it was legitimate. Some unlock methods employ root and only trick the phone into thinking its unlocked. Well, once you remove root, and thusly the trick, the unlock is gone. I have ran across rare examples where the person swore up and down that they unlocked their phone with a legit unlock code and that it relocked to a carrier once the sim was inserted and initial programming completed, but i dunno. Sounds weird to me, but every person who said this also said that the phone locked to a carrier other than the one it came from originally. Take that for what its worth, but i still mostly stand by the first couple lines of this section of my diatribe
If you want the at&t crap gone, get the N960U1 firmware and flash it in Odin. You will need the modified version of Odin to flash it so it can ignore the 255 errors the phone throws up from flashing firmware for a carrier (or, in this case, no carrier) on to a phone that it wasnt originally designated (not designed) for
go to sammobile.com/firmwares, get the info for the firmware you want to d/l, get the Frija tool or Samfirm and download the firmware thru one of those as theyre literally 5x faster and flash it

I'm not new around here, and I've used Odin many times, but I am trying to flash the T-Mobile firmware on my S10 and it fails EVERY DANG TIME!!!!!!!!! I have all the file selected, and again it's the patched Odin, I just do not understand. PLEASE, help me. Image is attached.
Please for the love of god someone help I will paypal someone 20 dollars if they can help me figure out why it always fails.
I am currently downgrading from Beta 7 to Pie 9 BSIV as we speak on my Sprint S10 using ODIN 3.13.1. Did you download the software using Frija? I am also on a Sprint phone flashing Sprint firmware, is the phone you have originally from T Mobile? If you didn't download the firmware using Frija I would re download it using that and try it.

No I found the firmware on here. Everytime I put the corresponding fields in Odin, it always fails, and I don't understand why.

Download most recent firmware using frija. I bet the one you trying to flash is older than what the phone is currently on. You can't flash older firmware no matter what even if using patched Odin.
abl.efl is bootloader, it is normal to fail at bootloader, cause that bootloader is older than the actually one you do have.
You either have to remove bootloader from firmware (if you can), or flash another firmware with the same - or higher bootloader.
Why don't you use stock Odin?
[SOLVED] Hey, so I purchased the Note 9 (SM-N960U, baseband : N960USQS1CSF1) about six months back, and for some reason, I haven't received any OTA updates, I'm still stuck on Android 9 :'). I've decided to flash the firmware, but it's gonna be my first time,
And I do have some questions..
1. Is it fine if I flash the latest Android 10 UI2.5?
2. I have the AT&T variant but I live in The UAE, I don't have any European sim either, so is it fine if I flash the Verizon version ( or is there any other recommended Carrier) cuz I can't find any firmware of AT&T.
3. Is it necessary to root the phone in order to get it flashed with Odin?
4. I don't see the OEM UNLOCK option, but that does that matter right? ( I do have the snapdragon version)
6. Are there chances of bootloop or bricking if I follow all the instructions and download the correct firmware?
Lastly, if you guys could offer some tips and suggestions, I'd appreciate
Thank you!
[EDIT] Heres how I did it
1. Installed the latest Samsung drivers for mobile on my pc
2. Factory reset my phone and cleared all the cache
2. Got the U1 firmware for my sm-n960u unlocked phone (as advised by a fellow redittor) from sammobile.
3. Used the patched Odin 3.13.1.3b to do a *clean install* of the new firmware. And done!
Problems I faced: Odin failed to recognize my device, so I had to use another USB port and reboot my pc

Note: I did watch some YT tutorials and have read some stuff, so I do have some basic knowledge on flashing the firmware

1. If there is update available
2. I don't know about U phone
3. No root needed. This is official fimware
4. No need
6. Provided the firmware you're going to flash is correct, shouldn't be a problem. Upgrade shouldn't cause stuck/bootloop, just don't downgrade.
Be sure to find the correct firmware.
