Hey,
I just want to completely reformat my phone. What would be the best way, flashing stock FW using Odin, or simply doing a reset to factory via settings? I don't care about data/time/etc just want the best way to start new on the latest FW (which the phone is currently on right now).
It's an unlocked SM-N950U1 for the US market, direct from samsung.
Thanks!

it helps to know the variant model you have now first. Is it unlocked abroad, or the states. Is it locked to carriers, or a mnvo. Odin can be a crap shoot, and no assurance of a custom rom working. Mainly KNOX security, thanks to samdumb does prevent roll backs, and i'm sure the next replies from others will guide you. Be sure, you know the risks. One WORD......BRICKED. Im not here to debate this, and until further info on present device model, not much can be said now. You can do a FDR via the button reset manner or menu UI driven. Odins for custom flashes of variants of firmware IF permissible.
Damn, totally forgot. This is an unlocked SM-N950U1 for the US market, direct from samsung.

Wait a few days until latest firmware with FM radio is available from somewhere and flash from scratch using Odin would be my suggestion

what are your intentions to improve its performance if needed or desired since its unlocked anyway. what isnt working or what do you want to add or change.

I have the Exynos model, but my rule of thumb is generally to flash firmware through Odin. Factory reset is fine too, but if things are still wonky then something could have become corrupted (in which case a clean Odin flash will replace those files with the proper ones and solve the issue).

have you rooted this? im currently rooted but unsure if i really need it seeing i miss samsung pay but i like debloating my rom and some of the Xposed modules that are working right now.
I tried rooting this update,it didn't want to stay running for whatever reason. Bonus though these files worked perfect im right back to stock again.
Edit.. After factory reset,rooting goes very smooth.

I still have no idea htf samsung pay works on every cc terminal, even old ones without NFC. Food lion and Best Buy are about the only places i frequent that accept Android pay. At Food lion, any location, after i tap the terminal all the instructions on the terminal LCD screen turn from english to spanish lol.
any way to make this into a flashable zip for flashfire? or flashing the files with flashfire without deleting everything? i doubt we can flash it like we would in odin as a firmware update but creating a zip and clearing caches just might work if the bl and rc is the same. not sure but im looking to update to this but don't want to go thought the whole set up and everything. i might anyway, not sure yet.

If you're rooted do a backup with titanium backup, flash fire should work too, it has multiple backup options.

If you have a full backup then why not just flash new firmware with odin? Flash, root, restore data. Cant really get much easier or faster. What advantages are you seeing with a flashable zip that maybe i'm missing?
Some people do not have access to a computer to use odin maybe? Faster and easier to use flashfire as well. Odin is fine for me though.
Hi, I have the SM-G35U firmware currently installed on my AT&T phone. If I install this, will it wipe my phone or I can just download this over the old firmware (and still keep all my data).

Yes, it will clear out your phone (downloads, data, etc). So before you flash the firmware. Make a complete back up just in case.

advantages would be doing everything on one device like flashing the update and restoring data at the same time. and further more possibly making the flashable zip pre rooted and debloated. making it almost a cutom stock rom without the at&t and samsung bloat. and for people wanting an unrooted install then odin would be more useful for flashing it in my opinion. having root now and flashfire i dont really see the need to have to use odin still for every update unless it has a new bl.
Hi all I h about everything a tab s2 from verizon, model number sm-T8717V. I got this laptop from my old job. They let me keep it but it's locked up tighter then fort Knox. It using Knox mobile enrollment I can't using the normal methods to erase the data due to the IT restrictions. Is there a way I can wipe this table to using odin to remove all the restrictions so I can use it as a normal tablet?? I cant even use the darn home button!! any and all help would be awesome!!

Do you get the 'blocked by mdm' notice when trying to factory reset via recovery?
Also could you post the actual firmware build.
You can find it in the 'about' section.
Firmware version is 5.1.1
When I do factory reboot like how you normally would it just reboots like a fresh tablet but then Knox pops up. That's why I was wondering if I flash a firmware (if I can find one) with Odin maybe that will work.......?

It's actually both. When it completes said process Knox Mobile Enrollment pops up regardless of the method. Do you think the method I think would work? Flash with custom ROM using odin?

Hi Vincom, yes i have already read the article. the main reason im flashing the rom is because of the hidden DATA icon in the toggle screen. and also i want my phone to have the OREO update as well. this is my first samsung phone. i have experience in flashing ROMs in my xiaomi redmi 1s phone. so im a bit skeptical if i can do this on my own. this odin process is very new to me. so what is the worst thing that can happen it i brick my phone? can i do a hard reset and will it default to the stock AT&T ROM if ever?

yes and no, csc controls what bloatware and which settings are setup by default dependant on carrier and country, hence why this is a universal fw and not dependant on original csc files.
if u truly have the att s7edge g935a, which is what i had, then yes.

The author claims performance and battery improvements but has anyone that switched over really noticed that big of a improvement?
I mean i already disabled all the carrier bloat with adhell isn't that basically the same as installing this rom? Does the universal maybe have a different kernal/different system level tweaks?

Samsung Science is only for the US version of the phone's. I wish they had a site like that for the international versions. But you can go to sammobile.com and check if your phone has any upgrades available. I doubt for the N950F that it doesn't have a newer software update, but on my phone the last update I got was in May which is the latest for my model unfortunately.
I have checked this and it looks like there are 3 updates available but I can't get them for some reason.I get a message that my phone is up to date all the time.
Sorry didn't realize you had International..my bad.

No he won't...If he is still stuck on the March update (see post 1) then he is not getting updates at all. It's not a question of staggered releases for different countries, it's likely because his CSC doesn't match.

You can search updato.com or sammobile for the proper firmware for your device and flash it with the latest Odin. If, for example, you have an N960F, then search for that and then download the most recent specific country firmware that matches your original csc (XME). This will install the latest firmware and should also allow future updates. Suggest reading around a bit before you flash for the first time to be sure you're comfortable with the process. Better to be sure

Many thanks for this.Im in the UK and would like to have the UK firmware.Can I flash my phone with the UK firmware or I have to use Malaysian one.I bought this phone online brand new unlocked but it is Asian version with Exynos.There was a sticker on the box saying about using the phone for 5mins to remove regional lock.This was done by the seller as I can use any sim.I just can't get any updates at all even using smart switch.

The 5 minute call for regional locks in a one time thing. You shouldn't have to worry about that ever again, regardless of what firmware you flash.
Now you can install the latest UK firmware, but not sure if OTA updates will work that way. If not, you can just repeat this process whenever new firmware is released.
Otherwise, flashing original firmware for your device (Malaysia) should fix OTAs if that's what you want
Before I start, I apologize and I know this shouldn't be in the Q&A Thread but I am a new user and unable to post it in the other thread
So I recently purchased a Galaxy S10 from Best Buy and I noticed I didn't have Advanced Call features such as Wifi-Calling and Video Calling. When I had asked about this, it turns out that I had purchased the unlocked S10 and had them set it up with my provider as Verizon.
I have been reading some posts by iBowToAndroid and I am wondering if I would be able to flash my phone into being locked with Verizon and get the Advanced Calling features without losing anything on my phone currently.
I already have the G973U firmware files from iBowToAndroid's post as well as the Verizon USERDATA file. I also tried setting up Samsung USB Drivers but the install failed. I'm not sure if this is necessary as I am still very new to this whole thing.
If this is possible, what version of Odin should I be downloading?
Is there anything else that I would need?
I'm using v3.13.3 and it's working perfectly fine.

I had this happen as well...then got a firmware image (from sammobile) with a later date than the firmware that was on my phone already. Flashing that newer firmware image was successful the first time through. Although in my case I was flashing back from T-Mobile firmware to unlocked firmware, same idea. I think that it might have been related to needing a newer boot version or something, but until I got the later version of unlocked firmware, the flash would fail reliably at abl.elf, before it got rolling.
And the version of Odin that worked for me was the patched Odin3_v3.13.1_3B. Didn't try the unpatched version.
