Question S23 SM-S911U1 stock rom Needed ASAP - Samsung Galaxy S23

Hello I received a Samsung Galaxy S23 from a friend today. He was having problems with the device stuck in a boot loop and unable to get past the Samsung startup screen, so I decided to flash it for him as a failed attempt to help a friend and get some $ in return. The device identifies as a SM-S911U1 , which I am led to believe it is an unlocked US version. Therefore, if there is any OTHER ROM I could flash as long as it should work, I'm willing to ADB and try it out and post results.. thank you in advance.

So he should have sent it to warranty (if he wasn't messing around and cause that).

Currently, the firmware for the S911U1 has not been published

I've successfully flashed it using Odin with a US cellular rom but it shows up now as a "U" deviIce. In other words the modelnow shows in about phone as SM-S911U instead if the original SM-S911U1. I now have the proper file to flash MY device ( he gave it to me for a amazing price as i found out its a demo device and he got it from his job but thats another issue as now i need help fixing the IMEI and seeimg if it even has cellular capabilities ....) my only question right now is if i flash the device with a "U1" file now instead of a "U" file will i brick the phone?? I am curremtly going to attempt it using the file that was told to me about by "realbbb" (thank you BTW!) that is available on frija and see if it bricks the device or if it fixes my cellular issues and activates the modem to use with a SIM card now. Hope all goes well.

Hello and thank you very much for this info. i been busy lately and just was able to come across your post today and am going to try it right now. Also if you would happen to know about the whole 'U' device vs. 'U1" device thing I would greatly apricate it. Also please refer to my previous reply I did to "windows4droid" about me flashing the device and it now showing up as a "SM-S911U Galaxy S23 instead of a "SM-S911U1" device as it had originally been when I first received the phone. Thank you so very much. I'm going to try to flash the phone right now with the file you suggested to me and hope it can revert back to the original model now that it doesn't have the factory live demo mode on it anymore (that's the original reason the device was not working and stuck in a bootloop because my friend had tried to remove the demo mode from the phone and messed it up the first time...) I dont have screen shots of what was originally on the device but this is what is now on it since i flashed it myself. heres some screenshots so yall can see whats going on and whats on the phone currently.

I understand that WWD is a DEMO CSC. Flash U or U1 firmware. I would run with U1.
The missing IMEI's are also an indication of a demo device. Flashing anything other than the original imei is prohibited (be careful) and getting a valid unused imei/imei(esim) will be a pain with a newly released series. Flash a donor imei and/or imei(esim) to use.
Hopefully the demo device is not defective or incomplete.

I'm pretty sure that's impossible to get around, even if you flash stock firmware it will still be like that. What is actually wrong with your phone? Is the problem software or hardware related? It could be worth checking if having it set as 1 voids the warranty in the UK, I think it differs from place to place. You can find stock firmware at sammobile.

Main problem with the phone is signal drops and battery drain, really really poor. Imagine someone ring you and there is some signal but call does not come through or when you are on a call it completely drops and you try ringing back but does not go through at all.
I have queried this with orange/ee or whoever they are called now and they have said it is something wrong with the firmware.
Current config is:
Model:
GT-I9305
Android version 4.3
Base band version:
I9305XXUEMK1
Kernal:
3.0.31-2051278

You can find Odin flashable stock firmware at http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ . You have to sign up to download them though. Was your phone working properly with the custom rom?

Try flashing the new 4.4.4 STOCK-Official ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ck-rom-4-4-4-gt-i9305n-i9305nxxufni4-t2886807
It fixed all my problems (battery draining on 4.3 and after that when i installed a recovery and do a restore it was stuck at Samsung logo)
Installing the above rom FIXED all of them.
Anyone got a baseband/modem on EE/Orange? I think that is what i need.
Just updated to the new 4.4 and my phone is slower than before Poor signal issue still exists
Anyone? Really thinking of throwing this phone in the trash and buying a new iphone
Here's a thought why not contact Orange / EE or would that require too much effort

I've got it too. For some reason the drop down menu has changed to an uglier shade of yellow green, the colour of frog excrement.. Otherwise don't really notice significant changes. Samsung has layered the ui so much that it just looks like.. Well Samsung. Not very evident it's lollipop tbh
If anyone is manually flashing the ROM using ODIN, check your CSC beforehand. There are two different regions of NZ that Samsung released the update for, which are TNZ and NZC. If you flash the wrong CSC version, your CSC will turn to an unknown state meaning that you won't be receiving OTA updates in the future. I have the Taiwan version (BRI) and I flashed the NZC version and now the CSC state is unknown. It's still Lollipop, but you will have to manually flash every updates released from this point forward.

It must be how Samsung programmed its CSC for the ROM. When the official ROM comes out for your region, you can restore using Kies 3 or Smart Switch. Then, you will get OTA updates as usual like you did before.

weird, I flashed NZC (formerly had BRI) and mine was still BRI. I did some benchmarking and I guess it was a little "dirty" and was getting really low results. So I just went into recovery wiped data and cache. Now my device claims to be NZC and works flawlessly. Best of luck

Unresponsive touchscreen after Lollipop
Hi there guys,
After updating my Galaxy Note 4 n910U to Lollipop via OTA, the touchscreen just became unresponsive. The update went on smoothly and my phone booted fine and it's on Lollipop now. I can navigate normally using the screen through the S-Pen but it just would not respond to touch. Very frustrating. New device, been waiting for this update and this happens. Please help.
Thanks!

You could try factory reset in recovery followed by a cache wipe and a repeat factory reset. Flash the NZC firmware again. After flashing again go to recovery and do a factory reset followed by a cache wipe and another factory reset. Boot and check if you are able to still see the csc in unknown status.
thx for the tip,
I'll probably wait for the HK version of Lollipop and then go back to the original csc

That's the problem. Your csc seems to be verizon but the baseband belongs to sprint. Have you tried smart switch?. Assuming your phone isn't refurbished(since you said the imei belongs to s6), ss will decide which is suitable for your phone.

Very risky and high chance to brick. As you said it's a combination of 920f, s6 and 920v. I have no idea.

Convert Korean S10 to International

Hi,
I got a Samsung Galaxy S10 Exynos (SM-G973N), a Korean version. I am not in Korea and don't have Korean SIM so I can't use the phone (SIM card are not recognized).
I need some help to convert it to an international version, preferably an Android 11 version if possible. Current baseband is G973NKOU6FUF3.
Regards.
Hi, did you try to flash the firmware from your country/region? Just download the firmware with Frija if you are on Windows or samload if you are using Linux/Mac and flash with Odin. It's worth a try, cause the phone is basically the same of your country. Obviously since you are flashing a different region, you have to use CSC_OXM_XXXX and not the HOME_CSC_XXXXX. if it sounds confusing you can look at this topic here. Remember to use Smart Switch to backup all your files and apps.
Hi @Cobmaster, No I am actually worried about which firmware to download. The phone is originally from Korea. I don't want the Korean version, as it comes with apps and pre-loaded content in Korean. I would like a more global version. Can I use one from another country like the UK?
Thank you for your help. I used Frija to download the SKC and KOO firmwares.
Ps: For this model there are only Korean different Korean firmwares.
@koutei . I think you can safely download a UK or whatever you prefer, no problem at all.

I found a reply from a user "billa" on another thread while searching for a way to flash a Global USA Note10+ from an AT&T carrier Note 10+ (Which was successfully done). Below was his/her reply. (I edited the first paragraph and included the modded Odin sourced from a YouTube video.)
You will need to use modded/patched Odin that has the model-ID and SHA hash check disabled, therefore allowing you to flash an unbranded "U1" firmware onto a branded "U" phone and vice versa.
As of now this works on most US Qualcom (QC) models, but an increasing number of international Exynos (EX) models now include a new RMM security which prevents this kind of cross-flashing unless you first disable the RMM, by flashing an RMM-Disabler package through TWRP.
Hope this helps!

Galaxy Note 8 has a reddish rectangular shape in the background.

Hi everyone, I have a Samsung galaxy note 8 SM-N950F/DS rooted from United Arab Emirates. I live in Tanzania. Everything works fine but I wish to unroot it back to its Stock rom mainly because of a reddish rectangular shape in the background with faintly visible Korean insignia (I think it's the developers signature or something, not sure). It also has no software update option (software update not active) so I'm stuck with April 1 2019 security patch update.
However I've some fears because honestly I don't know why it was rooted in the first place.
My fears are if I try to flash stock rom I may get stuck on bootloop or something worse and I wouldn't know how to go about it, I also fear losing its dual Sim option or even god-forbid IMEI. Can someone please walk me through the process, so I can get back to stock rom and finally get rid of this rectangular patch in the background Thanks in advance.

I can give you the links that will tell you how to flash stock filmware and how to download the filmware but I can't guarantee that you won't come into any issues, however it is pretty safe to flash stock filmware. With the Korean insignia that you mentioned, does this always appear even when using different apps? If so this could be a screen burn in where flashing stock won't get rid of it.
To download stock filmware use this great PC program "Frija" just put in you model number and your CSC code and it will download the latest filmware (For your CSC code go to settings/about phone/software information/under service provider SW ver to see your 3 digit code, for example mine is BTU) It is a free program and you download at a decent speed.

Then just follow the steps in this post on how to download Odin and flash the filmware you downloaded using Odin. When selecting the CSC package for Odin use the one with "home" written in it as there are 2 in the zip file you download using Frija.

Thank you very much sir, yes this red rectangular shape in the background is there permanently no matter which app I'm using and it's especially more visible when the screen is blank(white). Thanks for the PC app link. I'll try and post a reply here.
Screen burn?! I don't think so ( I could be wrong) but it's situated symmetrically in the middle of the screen covering the left to right. Upper and lower parts of the screen are left out. I'll try to post it's image though it may be difficult to see it because of it's faintness.

Your welcome.
It does sound like screen burn in because it's always there regardless of the app being used.
