Problem trying to update via OTA

Well, as the title says, when I enter settings and then system updates, it starts to search for an update, but the after like 20 secs it stops and says "We have troubles authenticating your device, please try again later"
My note 9 is model SM-N960U and it's original carrier, is Verizon. I'm in Mexico tough, but it is unlocked, maybe that has to do with the problem? Any help appreciated.

I have a unlocked 960U1 with Verizon and am in the US. No update available. Maybe it is rolling out to Mexican customers only?

most carriers require you to be on there network to get ota from them. you could flash the u1 firmware and get ota from samsung

Yeah that's what I thought, but if I do, I'll lose things like VoLTE or any software features?

You don't lose VoLTE on unlocked firmware unless you have ATT. Think OP said he was on Verizon. It works fine. Wi-Fi Calling would be lost (which is weird since they got that working on unlocked with S9 series, too).

Not sure what carrier he is on he said it was a Verizon phone that's unlocked but he was in Mexico so he might be able to get it I am on att and didn't know other carriers let you have volte thanks for the correction

Oh maybe that's where I should've started. Sorry.
To be clear, the phone is from Verizon. The active CSC is VZW, as I mentioned, the phone is unlocked and I use it in Mexico with TELCEL carrier, i DON'T have VoLTE nor wifi calling (TELCEL only has VoLTE) the model is N960U. Do you think there is a way to get VoLTE and/or flash an 960U1 software even though mine is 960U?
Thanks for your responses

you can flash the u1 firmware just be sure to back up your data because the flash will erase your phone

[GUIDE] SM-G9600/ SM-G9650 Working on Verizon!

This guide will setup your Qualcomm Galaxy S9/S9+ for use on Verizon Wireless
I have not had any tester for the SM-G9600 but myself and several others have tested and confirmed this to be working on SM-G9650
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP EVERYTHING BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THIS GUIDE!!!
I am not responsible for any bricks, soft or hard, and not responsible for lost or corrupt imei/efs
Boot into TWRP and select backup.
Tap "Select Storage"
I recommend you backup everything to an extSDCard.
Select Boot, System, Data (if you want), and Carrier Configs
You can backup each one seperately or altogether.
Next select Backup again and select EFS only.
This backup is extremely important!!!!!
keep it stored somewhere online or somewhere safe.
If EFS gets broken and you do not have a backup you will not have a functioning phone. This partition is where your imei is stored.
Now, flash this file S9+_ODM_combo_ATTVZWUSCTMO.zip
Reboot to system and go through Setup Wizard if you have not done so already.
Now boot to TWRP again and flash this file Verizon_EFS_IMEI.zip
Do not flash both at the same time, you will be stuck in a ForceClose loop at Setup Wizard if you have not completed it already.
Now reboot and enjoy Verizon functionality with 2g, 3g, 4g, volte, and wifi-calling!!
If there are any issues let me know and myself and others will do our best to help resolve any issue.
Edit: Updating with a zip that is compatible with pie.

Thanks guys!

This also works on T-Mobile using this T-Mobile_EFS_IMEI.zip instead of the Verizon_EFS_IMEI.zip thanks to @klabit87

I dont see the verizon-imei.zip in OP's post. I'd like to give it a try, or if someone could repost it please. Thank you.

Would you be able to help get verizon working on the g9750, hong kong s10/s10+?
I have a g955U, a g9750, a verizon sim and a sprint sim. If I can help with anything let me know.
Right now, AFAIK, I only have 4g working, mms only works with 3rd party apps, no carrier aggregation, no 2g or 3g, pretty sure VOLTE works, no wifi calling.

I only developed the install instructions and tested methods. Krog18 and stang5litre did the work of getting the zips compiled together. But I would suggest opening the zips in this thread and replacing the files in there with s10 files. Of course you'll at least need root.
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Ok cool, I can give it a shot...
Right now it's only speculation that John wu's magisk/root method works on g9750, I suppose I can try it, or just have to wait for confirmed root on my device.

I'm about to purchase an SM-G9650/DS
is there anything I need to look for to get it to work on vzw, as per this guide?

Have any of you guys successfully tried to see if you can get CDMA on the SM-G9750 Galaxy S10 Plus yet?

I tried this on pie with the pie mod and all I can connect to is CDMA 3g no 4g? Any ideas?

No need for Verizon firmware. Just use whatever firmware comes with your device and follow the instructions. Then let me know if you have any issues.

I'm just running into this after years of hoping for a bootloader unlockable S9 that I can use on Verizon. So much appreciated to Krog18, stang5litre and klabit87 for all your time and help! Quick question, I'm going to try and buy one today, but I see that on Amazon there are two G9650's. One is dual sim and the other is single sim. But they both say that their G9650's. Will this work on either? Because I will definitely go for the dual sim if that's the case. Thank you again!

Official OTA Update Pie [N960USQU1CSAA] [SM-N960U U.S. Carriers] [2/1/2019]

For your convenience, this is the official OTA update for the U.S. Snapdragon SM-N960U. If you can't wait for the Official Android 9 Pie OTA to hit your device/carrier then this is what you're looking for. It is universal for all U.S. carriers as Samsung has streamlined their Galaxy firmware across the U.S. carriers/variant. The only difference in the new firmware is the CSC relevant to each specific carrier. Your carrier SIM will determine which network configs and factory installed carrier apps will be preinstalled on first boot.
This specific OTA update .zip REQUIRES that your phone be on the latest Oreo firmware N960USQU1ARL1
If you're not already running the latest carrier firmware Oreo 8.1 (N960USQU1ARL1) just check software update in settings and let it update to N960USQU1ARL1. You can also download it from HERE and flash it via Odin. I strongly recommend a factory data reset BEFORE you Odin firmware for best results.
***Note this is the carrier firmware. If you want the non-carrier "bloat-free" firmware this is NOT it***
If you need more detailed install instructions visit this helpful thread.
Please thank the guys over at https://firmware.science/ for providing these EARLY releases as they are the ones making this possible.

Just odin back to ARL1 without wiping and then flash the update file before rebooting into the OS. That's what I did and everything is working fine but I am sure I will wipe over the weekend when I have more time.

Correct. This is the U.S. carrier firmware, not the Unlocked non-carrier firmware. I thought I made this clear in the OP.

Samsung removed this feature for some reason. I liked this feature too. Samsung seems to have taken a few steps backwards with the release of One UI.

Yeh thats what I ended up doing. Worked fine, albeit I'm not a fan of the verizon bloatware. Oh well I'll probably roll back to a vanilla install later.

Thanks for posting this! Tired if waiting on Verizon. so far so good.
Only question I have is how do you open the recent apps from the home screen when you have the navbar hidden and are using gestures. Also swipe up for Samsung pay is enabled.
Never mind figured it out lol. Just can't swipe up to bring up Google assistant. Might have to disable Samsung pay swipe up feature to unlock that area.

Flashed on stock Sprint note9 from sdcard and working great!!

I'm on a spectrum device the 960U and was just wondering you guys who did update how are you liking it? And if anybody is using the BX actions It's a Bixby button remapper and if you had to uninstall it 1st or anything I'm just dumb not updating until I'm sure!

Can i flash the sm-g977b firmware onto the sm-g977n device?

Hey 5G Pioneers,
I am wondering can I flash the sm-g 977b firmware onto the sm-g 977n device through the Odin? Did someone make it?
Since these two models are all using the same Exynos 9820 chips
And from my previous experience of using my galaxy s8, Samsung actually enabled me to flash the firmware in different regions only if the devices were using the same chip version.
I am currently in Australia. The Korean version of 977N is much cheaper, and it seems that is the only network unlock version that I could buy from the market.

Not sure where are you in Australia but I bought mine from a Telstra Sales Rep (based in CBD, Melbourne) where he got a discount code and gave its to me for AUD 1400 for the 512 GB Majestic Black Version, unlocked , I'm using Optus, VoLTE, VoWIFI works fine on it.

Hi everybody,
On Sammobile website, I found 4 firmware Korean variants. I tried getting more information on the "KOO" variant to see if its a stock Samsung firmware without Carrier Apps/Bloatware without luck. I couldn't get any detailed information whether it can be flashed over any other Korean variant. Can anyone here clarify if its possible and If yes provide further details?
Attached a snapshot.
Many thanks

That is the non bloatware Korean version but it doesn't allow me to flash it. I suspect you have to flash it with the userdata file also.

Hi,
I did disable the apps which is great, but there menu operator items as well!
Edit : Forgot to mention that the boot logo is of the operator as well.

I was researching something about using the PIT file along with the firmware but can't find the specific PIT file for S10 5g.

Use Odin or the modified version to flash combination firmware. Then flash your desired firmware.
This is the only way I am aware to remove all carrier bloatware and boot logos.

I am particularly interested in this as the 977N variant seems to be dual sim. I notice it also has additional bands to the 977B varient and I would like to put the telstra firmware to ensure operation of VoLTE VoWiFi RCS etc.
The main purpose is to use at home and overseas. So more bands and access to features (VoLTE, VoWiFI, RCS etc. on my telstra SIM and local overseas SIM) when overseas are the goal.
Unless someone can confirm that the 977N with vanilla firmware will support all the telstra features?
Thank you for your assistance

Wifi Calling on carrier unlocked note 10 lite phone

I recently purchased a Note 10 liter to replace my broken note 8. I am on Verizon and I bought a carrier unlocked phone.
I do not see the wifi calling feature to enable it on the phone and the seller told me that I would need a carrier locked phone for this feature.
Is there anything I can do to enable this feature? I am ok with installing a ROM in order to do so.
Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Hi, I don't know if Verizon is similar to AT&T but I had to not only flash the AT&T bloatware, I had to use my old SIM card that had previously been used in an AT&T carrier branded phone & in their system for a time (for me it was over a year) to get all of the expected features. Wifi calling, visual voicemail, HD voice & video.

I assume this is an International or Latin American version?
I'm guessing you can use the Frija app to get the firmware & a specific Odin to flash the software. Search here on XDA for answers. Maybe you won't be able to flash us carrier software on a foreign model?
Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

The Note 10 lite is an International Device. There are no roms to flash as there is no Twrp. The only way a rom can be flashed is creating a rom that is like a Magisk module and flash it that way. As of now none exist. Usually you need a At&t csc zip or whatever carrier you are using and flash the csc with Twrp. And i don't believe there is a carrier version of the 10 lite. The 10 lite already has volte. I have been using mine on At&t with At&t sim and there is no wifi calling. You can unlock the bootloader and root. I wrote up a how to guide on rooting. The only thing you can do is call your carrier and see what they can do. But I know I have tried this before on At&t with an international device and they said they were unable to activate wifi calling on that device

The only time I have seen wifi calling work on a International device used in United States is with a custom rom with csc from different carriers cooked into the rom. In my experience International phones do not support this right out of the box. So yes its easy to say "works for me" when you live in the region the phone was made for..lol.
