getting ready to buy a deep sea blue note 8 from best buy unlocked version. Just wondering how quickly they get the OTA updates. Do carriers push them out first before the unlocked models? also if I buy the unlocked and flash the carrier firmware via "carrier flash thread" will my device receive the OTA updates from the carrier or do they need to be side loaded?
I purchased the unlocked model and it's still on the August security patches and have not received a single update since I bought it in early September.
Pretty sure the carrier versions are also on the August security patch.

Update got May 1st update on att sm-g960u
The files are no longer available. Can you repost them.
I cannot for the life of me figure out whats going wrong. I bought SM-G960UZKAXAA (US unlocked s9). I wanted VZW's advanced calling features so I put SM-G960U on the device (instead of the SM-G960UI, as it should be). I've used the special Odin and stock firmware to revert, and it seems to be successful, according to Odin, but nothing ever changes. Still get the VZW splash screen and other VZW stuff. HELP!?

Your stuck on v2 bootloader as carrier bound devices released them first
Ypu will have to wait til u1 firmware releases a update to the v2 bootloader then everything should go back as normal
can you update the links?
also, how come one person said FED 1 2018 and another person said May 1st security patch?
if this is the same U1 firmware available in other posts, why flood xda dev with so much duplicate posts?

I have a Snapdragon S9 with bootloader still locked... Sm-g960u. Feb 1 security patch. I just want to make sure my bootloader doesn't have to be unlocked before I flash this... So, I'm good to go, right?

Hi I'm looking into getting a used samsung s10 for rooting purposes and I've found an exynos sm-g973f/ds. Is this variant the same as sm-g973f?
Bumping this thread for the time-being as I am in the exact same situation.
I'll look through LineageOS roms supported model list to see if I can find the answer (if they support it.. aka there has to be a root for it).
I believe that there has to be a root for it since it's Exynos-based.. but looking for some advice just to make sure!
Cheers!

Yes but ds stands for Dual sim.
even the snapdragon is root able... and full bootloader unlock too., The guy charges but I can attest full 100% its legit, and he doesn't need access to your phone. you give him a code from your phone and in a couple hrs he brings you a .tar file with your specific device unlock key in it. flash that and follow some instructions and you have a real Bootloader unlocked S10 snapdragon. read here:

All versions, except t-mobile, can be unlocked. I think one version, the UK ebw, could officially be unlocked, but not 100% certain. If you look in the 'Guides' thread, you'll find the guide to unlock the boot loader of any version but t-mo.
cheers

I don't understand your question, do u mean "can we' unlock etc? The security patch level has nothing to do with it (unlocking), so don't know why u even mention it? Can u unlock if it has 10? yes.
cheers
Given the recent news with the S21, I want to go ahead and purchase an S10 for my significant other. I read in another thread that S10s from China have both snapdragon and can be rooted and I wasnt sure if there were other models similar in this regard? Also what is the model for the Chinese variant?
ALL S10 phone variants can be rooted. The China model is G975O or G975F I think though.
all the models are BOOTLOADER unlock able as well . the guy charges for the service but ive been here since day 1 (Galaxy phone) and I can attest 100% that he's legit. For more info seek this link:
