Can I load 920F firmware on 920A phone?

I currently have 920A with newest OTA 7.0.
I downloaded 920F ILO 7.0 from sammobile, but it has only one file. I'm using Odin 3.12.7 and when I put the one MD5 file in the AP section (I leave the rest of the sections blank) it fails.
What am I missing? I'm wanting to use a stock unlocked firmware to remove the ATT bloatware.

It wont work cuz the firmware you are trying to flash is not for the device you are trying to flash to. att s6 has a locked boot loader and only tethered root options available last time i checked.

Is this true across the board? I also have a 920V with verizon's bloatware on it. So I won't be able to flash to an unlocked firmware like 920F to get a 'clean' OS?

idk on the 920v. i dont have one so i have not followed the forum for that device. as far as flashing a different devices firmware to a device not meant for it. its generally a bad idea. id look for answers in that devices specific page.

Doesn't this thread prove otherwise?

I realize that is for an S7 edge on Sprint network but isn't the concept the same?

its not for att. it wont work on an att s7 device. Att devices dont get love for most part. its a stock firmware from samsung that doesnt have carrier bloatware. for vzw, spr or tmo from the thread itself based off the unlocked usa model.. your device has a locked bootloader. so even finding the (6920f) firmware and flashing anything but samsung firmware for that device (6920a) is going to a. fail in odin or b. brick that phone. its your device. what you do is on you.

July 1st Security Update for Unlocked Note 8 using Sprint

Can anyone confirm if the CRF6 security update breaks anything? More specifically, are the APN settings still accessible? I want to install it, but I am happy with the current state of things. Thanks

I've just updated July 1 security firmware on my unlocked 950U1 and been using with T-Mobile, everything is good including APN settings or adding.

Thanks. I just installed and all is good.

I have the 950u1 on crf6 and I want to flash tmobile firmware on it but it keeps failing any advice

So I am assuming you cant flash a U firmware on a u1 device? Am I correct on this assumption? I figured since you can flash u1 on a u device you should be able to flash a u firmware on u1

I would like to update my note8
Can some assist with the update please. I have CRC4 and want to update to CRF6 using ODIN. Can someone guide me please?

If I were you I'd flash the stock USA u1 firmware on it. You can also use the PC based Samsung Smartswitch app to check and update firmware.

It likely has to do with the fact you're using it on a UK carrier and it's made for US carriers. Your best bet is to flash the unbranded U1 firmware.

Ok. Thanks for advice. Can I ask You to post link to newest u1 firmware I can flash? From what I read I am now on newest Pie firmware CSB3 for N960U. Is there U1 Pie version? Could not find any.

Download it with the SamFirm tool and flash it with patched ODIN

Many thanks for all your help. First of all I did factory reset. Than downloaded latest firmware through SamFirm (use [email protected] SM-N960U1 and Region: XAA) File: SM-N960U1_1_20190218084855_4mi2c0zg9o_fac
Than I downloaded Patched Odin v3.13.1 to flash firmware. Struggled initially with Odin ending up on ...SetupConnection.. <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1) but swapping usb cable from Samsung one to Google pixel xl genuine cable solved the problem and Odin finally started flashing procedure. Now just restoring through Smart Switch from backup. When going to Software update now in Settings it checks the Update and reports I am on newest one. So I am assuming it will download now any following OTA. Also got no Sprint or any other bloatware present. Happy days !!

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 firmware Unlocked

I recently downloaded an OTA from a website in March, It was the new UI One Update but it was AT&T and It was for the SM-N960U Model which is mine but my Model is unlocked and it works fine but I would like to revert back to my stock Firmware since Samsung has released the UI One Update for unlocked phones, How can I revert back to my original firmware?

the exact same way you did to go in att.
dl U1 firmware via web sites:
https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=n960u1&rpp=15&order=date&dir=desc&exact=1
or
preferably use samfirm tool v0.3.6 to download it faster than web and to be sure its the very latest.

Trouble updating Galaxy Note 9

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
