I'm very confused and a little bit frustrated that I cannot figure out where to go with flashing the unlocked firmware on my AT&T Galaxy Fold that I unlocked myself.
So here's the thing. I know that the U1 models indicate that it's the unlocked version, and I know that after buying the unlocked Galaxy S9+ that has the SM-G965U1 model number. But when you go over to Best Buy, the model number you see on the product page is SM-F900UZSDXAA. This is the U model, but it also ends in XAA which I'm also pretty sure indicates it's unlocked.
This all just leads me to be very confused and I could desperately use some help. I know I can just flash the U1 firmware but I'm trying to get the same exact firmware with the same U model number shown in my settings as the unlocked Galaxy Fold from Best Buy. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, i'm in Italy and i bought S9+ 128GB SM-G9650/DS (China Unlocked Factory) to have Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU.
Can i flash FW SM-G965U1 (USA Unlocked Factory with Snapdragon also) with Odin?
Thank you
nothing?
Nope, because you will brick the device
No because the model number does not match, odin will not allow it to flash.
Prince comesy odin may allow it to flash but your un uncharted waters there so no idea what will happen
By any chance do we have any Odin method to root the Canadian Snapdragon versions, bypass the SM-G965W bootloader?
Nope. And dude a simple search would have told you that.
thank you all for the answers
you can make a rom out of the usa carrier firmware and flash it via twrp to your G9650 no problem. Don't let these noobs tell you otherwise.
@travis82
ahahahahaha I would need a guide to do it, so I was asking for the simplest thing, namely ODIN
I don't even know if it's better the G9650 version or the G965U1 version ...... in both cases, I have to use it in Italy with Italian SIM
He asked if he can flash firmware with odin, creating a rom and flashing via twrp is quite another matter lol
Can I flash the U1 Firmware with Mexico's Telcel CSC??
Hi guys, I made a quick comparison between 3 models (mine is the SM-G965W - Rogers) as recommended by some xda members. Some were saying it may be breaking the phone entirely, and some were saying it is working. Based on those specs all three models are pretty much the same including the Supported Cellular Bands. What is your opinion based on your expertise on this take?

I've been reading up on firmware options on here but can't figure out a straight answer. I have the hong kong version of the s9 plus 256gb with the snapdragon chip. My question is can you use odin to flash USA firmware to it? Without getting a hard brick.
Like the fully unlocked firmware for us models that isn't tied to carriers. Thanks.

i have the same question...any answer?
I do not know, but it would be great if you would upload your firmware to https://androidfilehost.com
Also, would you please tell me if you are able to use the native call recording functionality that Samsung pushed out in May with your phone
Sorry for no punctuation my keyboard is screwed up for some reason
Thanks Very Much

Based on what I've reviewed this look to be the best option to do so once you confirm the firmware is compatible.

HI, I switched carriers yesterday and my S9+ still appears to be on AT&T software. Is there a guide somewhere that shows you in detail how to get the T-Mobile software on it? I'm not very knowledgeable in flashing, but have seen around the site that ODIN is a solution? Thanks
edit: I know i need to get from U to U1 back to U i'm just not sure how
Canadian Note 10+ N975W is unlocked, it is the Snapdragon 855 version.
The US Unlocked Note 10+ model is N975U1, it is also the snapdragon 855 version.
But, recently, the US unlocked model is getting frequent software updates. So, I was wondering can I install the US unlocked firmware to CA unlocked Note 10+?
Has anyone tried that?
Yes you can

WIth ODIN? is there any soft way such as sideload or something like that?
Also, would it change my model number?
Yes ODIN
Get the firmware from sammobile
It will change the model num
Hey guys,
Is there an easy way to flash the Non-Carrier specific firmware on this TMO S23 Ultra that's still locked since it's under a payment plan? I did it on an older VZW S21 and seem to remember the XAA version of the firmware meant just the Samsung release with no carrier specific apps, etc., but I can't find that to download at samfw.com. I don't want or need it unlocked per se as I'm staying with TMO but I just want to get rid of the TMO splash screen and some of the bloat. Oh and bring back just the straight spam protection from Samsung as this T-Mobile Spam Guard thing doesn't really work very well.
Do we know if that's possible yet this early with the S23 Ultra, or do we have to wait for a couple OTAs to hit first?
Thanks in advance for anybody's input or advice!
The phone is brand new. It normally takes a while for the firmware to come available. I have seen a thread with links for firmware but I don't remember what versions they were.
SM-S918U S23 ULTRA/918U1 UNITED STATES FIRMWARE FLASHING
Most of us already know how to flash firmware with Odin. Here, anyone can post available firmware for everyone to use as well as general discussion. U firmware can be flashed on a U1 device and U1 firmware can be flashed on a U device using Odin...
forum.xda-developers.com
It is possible and is thread linked in the post above is your best resource to get that done. Just be aware that flashing to the U1 firmware will not remove the SIM lock on your device and if you ever choose to have the SIM lock removed, you will need to be on the full TMB U firmware to do so.
