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?

Hi guys,
I want to know how to update to latest oreo update with all the security patches.
I am following this how-to thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...w-to-install-android-oreo-snapdragon-t3716281 but in the OP the links are broken.
Can anyone update me on this?
The phone is from verizon but I didn't use it on verizon. I got this phone last November. Currently using on Cricket, so probably I don't get automatic updates from Verizon.
my note 8 info:
7.1.1
experience v. 8.5
security patch level Nov 1, 2017
Baseband v. N950USQS2BQK2
Thanks in advance.

I am unsure if you should be on a much newer filmware or not. Sometimes a factory reset can resolve OTA not coming through, this will delete the phone memory though, so back up your data.
You can also get official filmware from sammobile and updato. Just if you want to flash Oreo with Odin, make sure you use the latest version of Odin (3.13.1)

I am on Cricket and using Verizon note 8 that I got from last December. Last update was in November when I still have Verizon. After inserting Cricket sim card, there has never been an update anymore. I turned on Wifi and went into settings> software update to refresh, and there is no awaiting update. I didn't change to unlock firmware (as I do not know how). How do you go about installing the updates to latest Oreo using Odin? I am on 7.1.1 with build 2BQK2

I recommend that you try a factory reset to see if that pushes the OTA update.
If this fails, I will help you step by step with Odin.
I have an AT&T s10 plus and was wondering if I could flash the tmobile firmware from sammobile, or even the bloat free version? It's been awhile since I've done something like this but wanted to double check first before doing so.
Thanks
Yes, I just flashed T-Mobile firmware on my unlocked S10. Got the firmware from SamMobile, and used the patched version of Odin on my Windows desktop, and it went just fine. Did put in the bloat ("User Data"), but then disabled most of it using the CCSWE manager app. Working great, very happy that I finally did this.
Went from the May 1 Monthly Android security update on the unlocked S10 to the July 1 security update on the T-Mobile S10 very quickly *smile*.
I've attached the patched version of Odin, hope that helps.

I was planning on using the odin firmware from sammobile. What does the patched version do differently?
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

Hi, my phone is a Note 9 ATT factory unlocked.
Below is the link for my post
I've updated my phone using the link , and still unlocked and working Ok.
I hope it can help you .
https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....note-9-att-rom-update-sept-2019-t3979303/amp/
I've been checking for an OTA update from Pie to Q on my N960U for like a month. It looks for it, but always says "software up to date".
This ATT link seems to say Android 10 is out, and has been since February.
Can I download the ATT (not XAA) Q update somewhere and flash with ODIN? Don't see it on sammobile.
Thats because At&t doesnt post their firmware. This has been addressed 100's of times. You can flash any 960U firmware with Odin and it will provision to your sim.

Yes, I've literally read a hundred posts referencing XAA.
Which leaves the question, then: why can't I OTA? It worked from Oreo to Pie.
For some reason many with At&t devices do not get OTA's...I am one of them. You can try to odin back to a build before the last version that you are not getting updates on. But you have to be sure the bootloader version is the same. All carrier firmware is the same. Just go to Frija and download the firmware and flash with Odin. Dont know why your not finding U firmware its all over the place even on Sammobile. Instead of clicking N960U1 in sammobile click N960U and you can use any of the firmware listed.

Not getting OTAs would quite suck. And yet I've gotten everything up until the CSJ1 release in November. I'm not sure what broke.
Do I then download and ODIN the whole thing every month, for security updates?
Yeah you can. I mean if there is a security update (S) yeah just download and flash everything. Flashing Home_csc will save data if you flash just csc along with bl..ap..cp it will wipe data. To me a clean install is best, I dont mind setting my phone up
SM-N935F Note FE OREO
Might wanna just check out the thread in the general discussion section bud. That's how a lot of us with AT&T phones have been updating. I just flashed my and my wife's note 9 to the march security path of Android 10 a few days ago. Everything went smoothly ?? I don't know what AT&T's problem is but it's one of the reasons I'm no longer a customer with them.
Hello guys.
So I recently got a phone that's stuck with the August 2021 security patch. I wanna flash the latest software so had 2 questions:
1. Should I flash the most recent software update or considering I've never actually updated my phone, should I flash all the previous updates from August first before I flash the latest one.
2. I wanted to know if anyone has experience flashing SM-G998U1 firmware on a SM-G998U phone. I heard you can flash "U1" or carrier unlocked firmware on a "U" or carrier locked phone. Just that you'd lose all your data. I have an SM-G998U locked to Verizon and since I'm not in the US Verizon says they can't unlock it for me. So my only option is to flash new firmware updates. But I can't for the life of me find any Verizon SM-G998U firmware from after August 2021 (that's my latest security patch) online. So wanted to hear from anyone with experience that's flashed "U1" firmware on a "U" phone.
Flashing FW is no solution to unlock phones.

I'm not trying to unlock my phone. It's usable cause it doesn't reject simcards. Just denies me OTA updates. All I want is new software.
Is there another option apart from flashing new firmware if I want to update it? I'd love to unlock the phone but all the websites keep talking about generating codes. My phone doesn't request a code. And I can still use it. If there isn't another option for unlocking, can you assist with the questions I've asked?
Fine to flash new firmware to get the latest.
1. If you flash complete FW using Odin, you can flash the latest, no need to flash intermediate updates.
2. Did you search the forum yourself? See following thread for FW versions of the US-devices: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...s-and-flashing-discussion-here.4220111/unread

Thanks so much for all the help Yeah I've seen that thread before. But only firmware available until November 2021. Nothing after. So think I'll try the U1 to U option for now.
