I bought online a note 5 n920t sim unlocked.
The baseband version is N920TUVU4DPK6 and it appears as a phone from United arab emirates.
If I tap on software updates nothing happens.
Otherwise, the phone works perfectly in terms of signal and internet.
Which firmware should I flash on this phone to safely upgrade it to nougat? I am currently based in the UK.
Thanks for any help
Search for sm-n920t here https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Would the phone become locked again after flashing the official firmware?

I bought a Factory Unlocked Note 8 from Amazon model name is SM-N950U . I use Phone Info it told me my model is SM-N950UZKAXAA and working on XAA csc. It's running on Verzion Firmware but has no bloatware and carrier provide info is XAA/XAA/VZW . But i haven't receive any OTA update until now. I used smart switch it told me "Your current version is lastest", and verizon software update told me "The current firmware is not supported !". But i try many times to flash verizon firmware version but my phone still not have any carrier bloatware and still have no OTA update !
Anyone told me how to receive OTA update with my phone ! Although i flash many carrier firmware but it still XAA/XAA/VZW !
I used to flash N950U1 firmware but it make my wifi connection on my phone not perfect, it's slow down to much !
Hey guys...
Just got a used note 8 and I flashed it to Android pie with one ui (N950USQU5DSD3). Now the problem is that I can't update the phone via OTA. When I click software update its sticks at "registering device" with a spinning circle. Now I suspect that it's a U950W (my friend said it was locked with Bell and unlocked after the the plan ends). Now on sammobile.com the lastest firmware for note 8 (N950U) is N950USQS5DSF5. And I don't want to flash back to the Canadian version (n950w) because it doesn't get update as often as the n950u or n950u1 and it comes with a lot of Bell bloatware.
So for me to get a OTA without any bloatware, which version should I flashed?
Many many thanks.
Greetings,
I just picked up a Note 9 SM-N9600 Its unlocked. Currently out of the box with just slipping in the SIM and setup works with no issuess.
Cricket Wireless in the US (aka ATT network)
I haven't flashed or rooted/roms since my Note 3 days. So i just want to be clear on the proper firmwares.
I currently have the following, and would like to flash it to Pie 9 since there is no OTA update i can detect at this time. I do not care what firmware as long as i can still use the phone I do not care about SAMSUNG PAY. That being said something real strange about this phone is the CSC code. It reads TTT/TTT/PCT. I know PCT is puerto rico. I don't know what the TTT is for. Isn't the order for CSC. Sim1/Sim2/Original country?
below is my devices info. Im trying to put my head around this. I downloaded SamFirm_v0.3.6 used the PCT for Region. I came back with this stuff to download PIE. Honestly i do not care if its flashed to some US based firmware unbranded if this is even an option?

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.

I bought a G973U in Switzerland and it has XAA firmware on it. I think it is an ATT unlocked device but I have never had a single Software Update.

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.
