I have a t-mobile branded s10 unlocked to use on cricket. I woke up to my phone asking me to install the android 11 update. I have bootloader unlocked, rooted and twrp so I quickly flashed through Odin a stock rom to get stock recovery i got from. Sam mobile. Now its telling me I am up to date. I'm guessing its because I am using t-mobiles android 10 firmware and they don't even have android 11 out yet. So I'm not totally sure how I even got the update.

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.
I have an AT&T unlocked S10+ that I've been running the T-Mobile firmware on since day one. Now I want to go back to the AT&T firmware and I have downloaded multiple AT&T firmwares. Each time I try to flash the firmware using Odin, it fails.
I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. The phone has the latest June update for T-Mobile. I wipe the device in recovery and then boot into download mode.
Anyone here please tell me what I am doing wrong.

What fail message is it giving?
If the T-Mobile firmware is bootloader version 2 the att firmware has to be bootloader version 2. You can't go back to version 1.
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 all,
My Note 8 is currently running Android 9 (official), with baseband N950FXXU6DSD3. Given the phone is turning sluggish day by I thought it would be a good idea to downgrade to Android 8. Well, I downloaded Odion and the official firmware for N950F but Odin gave me an error. Googled and found it is probably because the baseband / bootloader is l6 and the firmware I was installing was l5. However, I couldnt find any official android 8 version with bootloader l6.
Just wondering if there is an alternate was of downgrading without tripping Knox/ Samsung Pay?
Thanks!

Nope not possible you're stuck on bootloader version 6 and there's no going backwards now!
There is no Android 8 rom with v6 bootloader? Also, if I choose OEM unlock will it still trip my Knox even if I install official firmware?

No OEM unlocking will not trip your Knox flag. However, if you install twrp and root the phone that's when you'll trip knox. If you're thinking that toggling the OEM button will allow you to downgrade backwards it's not going to happen! I personally don't know of any Android 8 on bootloader version 6. This is why we preach not to accept updates or buy a phone that's already been updated because there's just no going back once you update! We haven't found a way to do that and I don't think anyone is actually spending their time to try to figure that out either.
Ah ok. Thanks. Guess I am stuck on a laggy OS.
Hi, have SM-G975F/DS and using for 1 years Got it from outiside of Turkey. As i live in Turkey, our "HONORABLE" Tech institution will give 120 days to use unregistered IMEI's . So my time has ended, and has to change my IMEI number. But only way to do this is downgrading my phone to april-before firmwares.
Downloaded and tried to flash old firmwares but, device rejected them and gave error :sw rev check fail bootloader device 8 binary 4
So its so important to downgrade my phone u4 or previous firmwares.
Succesfully rooted with Magisk now and My question is : Any chance to downgrade my phone back to Android 9 or u4-u3 binaries?

Yes I would like to know also how to downgrade bootloader. I am having awful battery life since I have updated to Android 11 and not able to downgrade due to bootloader update.

I have been on A10 but wanted to try A11 experience so enabled updates with adb. Unfortunately A11 on S10 series is placebo and I have to charge my phone every 12 hours. Then I noticed I cant go back to A10 because of changed bootloader ...
yeah...you went to far on the bootloader...there is versions of A11 on the V4 bootloader

so then only root, twrp and a custom rom left with some special kernel what is saving the battery, lets me use the gps and bank apps.
