Will the 950U1 get updates in Europe when using an European SIM? If not how the firmware can be updated?

poland is now getting updates. F series unlocked, and im sure a day or so other models. i am more concerned with sim unlocked versions.
I have the n950f with a Canadian sim card and my phone just got the June ota update.
So I think your n950u1 should still receive the ota update.
Have you check software updates in settings to see if you have an update?
If not you can use samfirm to download your firmware and flash it with Odin on PC.

Hello,
I have a Note 9 N9600 SD845 HongKong Version, I am using Lyca Mobile sim( Tmobile MVNO) with it .
I have gone through this forum and could not figure out if its possible to install the N960U1 firmware on N9600.
If yes, will it activate all the tmobile bands on N9600 ?
I also have a ATT unlocked note 9 N960U, I have flashed it to N960U1 successfully using Odin. Is it the same process for N9600 ?
Thanks in advance
I there, I have the same phone model and the conclusion that I made was that you can't just flash the u1 firmware like how awe are used to. I had to root mine in order to install tmb software. I then had 4g Lte and wifi calling, but before you root look at what you may be missing out on. It is usaully stuff dealing with knox i.e samsung pay, secure folder, etc.

Unless you flash the official Samsung software using Odin, you will not be able to install OTA updates. But from my understanding you can't flash USA U1 firmware onto the Hong Kong/International N9600 Note 9. The bootloader will only accept firmware for their respective models. All U.S. Note 9's can flash any of the carrier versions or the unlocked U.S. firmware, but you can't flash the international N9600 firmware... and vice versa.
Hi, I purchased this phone used in Oct. and have never received an update since. It's an AT&T model stuck on the Sep patch. Can anyone with more technical knowledge tell me if I need to flash with odin and what firmware in order to receive updates again?
bootloader: N960USQS1ARI5
PDA: N960USQS1ARI5
CSC: N960UOYN1ARI5
baseband: N960USQS1ARI5
Thank you so much.

No, I'm on an MNVO, Mint, does my provider determine when I get updates?
For the att model you need an att sim card to get updates you could convert it to the u1 firmware then you would get updates from Samsung but you might lose wifi calling or other carrier features https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/stock-sm-n960u1-usa-unlocked-firmware-t3833566

just manualy update your phone every so often via Odin and samfirm tool.
you wont loose any features and you get to decide when to apply the updates.

Thank you, I figured out to flash it to the U1 firmware. Bumped me up to Nov. Hopefully this way I will get consistent patches now.
It's an unlocked Galaxy S10 AT&T G973U..
I am using it internationally and not with an AT&T sim, so I don't try to upgrade it OTA anymore..
I tried Smart Switch, it says it's up to date. But last security patch was April 2019 and it's running Android 9.
Build and Baseband: G973USQU1ASD7 (According to SamMobile) there's no Android 10 for this baseband.
But my question is, can I flash let's say USA (Android 10) G973USQU3CTB1 or would I need to wait for the baseband for my model?
If I missed something, feel free to correct me.
Thanks!
Having a "U" model means Universal. You can flash any U.S. carrier stock firmware to it. If you have AT&T firmware and want to use T-mobile firmware instead, you can do it by flashing it with Odin.
You can get most firmwares off Sam mobile (Verizon, Sprint, T-mobile). AT&T firmware is hard to come by and you will usually have to pay to get it from a pay site like www.gsm2file.com
Just download an Android 10 firmware and flash it. No matter what it is as long as it's for the U model line.

Ok, thank you very much.
And is "USA" only unbranded? I don't want any bloatware since I am international and I don't benefit from anything they offer.
The G973U phone will only accept U.S. firmware (Verizon, Sprint, At&t, T-mobile, Spectrum, Xfinity, and unlocked U1 Samsung firmware). So if you flash the U1 unbranded firmware you will get rid of carrier bloatware.

Say I wanna get rid of the bloatware, what firmware do I select from the U1 variants? Because I see all of them have carrier names.
If you get it from sam mobile it's XAA from Unknown. The latest is the CTB5 bootloader. I think there's also a thread in the forums here that contains Odin firmware.

Here is the latest SM-G973U Android 10 firmware. It was just released yesterday morning. https://samfrew.com/download/Galaxy__S10__/f6o3/VZW/G973USQS3CTB5/G973UOYN3CTB5/
Hi Folks,
I have bought a G973U samsung S10 but it is not receiving any updates and I am obliged to flash it with ODIN, I heard that I can technically flash G973U1 XAA firmware on it and it will update via OTA, is this true please ? I have the SPR firmware on it. Thanks for your help.
Depends on the carrier. ATT (I assume you're in the USA?), for example, won't do OTA updates unless the IMEI also matches (and maybe some other switches at ATT that we can't change).
XAA should update on some carriers, at least. My XAA updates on TotalWireless (VZ MVNO)... I've actually blocked them because I want to stay on A11 for now.
I believe you can upgrade via ODIN yourself without using an OTA - just be sure to use the HOME_CSC file because the non-home CSC will wipe your data. Any reason you're not doing that? This way, you can control your own updates and timing.
Hello Sofiene.Saidi, look at the official US firmware here for your model, the best thing for you is to take a model for your European region.

Thanks for your anwser Schwinn, actually it is fine with ODIN but each time I need to flask aprroximately 6Gb of firmware, it is somehow risky isn't it ? Can I flash USC firmware and get OTA updates please ?
If you're in France, I don't think you'll ever get OTA updates.
No, flashing the ROM a few times over the phone's life isn't going to affect the device that much. If you did it every day, then sure... but a few flashes over the life of the phone won't make much difference. I recommend you just do the updates yourself with these files and don't worry about the OTAs, because you are unlikely to get them.

Hello, is it possible to change the Spectrum firmware (CHA) on my S23 SM-911U to T-mobile (TMB)? I have unlocked the phone with Spectrum but if I use with T-mobile SIM, then I don't think I'll get the OTA updates through T-mobile? On a recent unlocked AT&T Fold 3, it seemed to convert automatically from AT&T to T-mobile when I put in the T-mobile SIM...
Edit: maybe I found the answer with a little research. Use patched odin here and then latest T-mobile firmware here S911USQU1AWC8? My current firmware version is S911USQS1AWBL. Anyone have experience/tips?
Solved: I tried to flashing the multi-csc firmware with Odin hoping the t-mobile SIM would stick and force the change but the software version/branding kept coming back to spectrum no matter what. Ultimately what worked was changing the CSC with SamFW Tool by putting phone into Developer mode and enabling USB debugging and then connecting and changing CSC under ADB menu in SamFW Tool and then factory resetting the phone. Probably would've worked with no flashing needed!
You have to flash the unlocked software first (U1) then the TMB version. personally I'd keep it on the unlocked.

To my knowledge I think it gets OTA updates faster. (U1)
U1 doesn't get updates faster. In the US it generally gets updated randomly. Could be first, could be last, could be halfway through the 3 major carriers.
You will, however, get OTA updates from whichever version you flash.

That's what I thought, which is why I wanted to flash TMB especially since I was thinking about giving it to a relative later.
Well this is bizarre or is it. Don't have too much experience with this stuff. I got the software update and now the spectrum (CHA) firmware version matches the T-mobile (TMB) which is S911USQU1AWC8 but when I stick my T-mobile SIM in, the bootup logo and branding doesn't change to T-mobile and is still all Spectrum. Tried a reset with the T-mobile SIM still in and it still doesn't change. Is there a way to force this change?
You need to flash the unlocked U1 firmware FIRST, then flash the T-Mobile version.
