do you mean if I install t mobile firmware via odin, that will make it work without any problems?
I think the bootloader is different for a non-US model, even if it is Qualcomm and thus ODIN will fail to flash the firmware for a different model. You may be out of luck on this one I feel, but maybe someone else has a way to get around this without root.

This.
However i dont know if prince comesy odin would flash this or not.
Im leaning towards it would allow the flash but i dont know if the firmwares are cross compatible different device models so likely not.
Try at your own risk.
sent from my Exynos S9 plus, Pixel 2 XL or Note FE
I had done this on my international G965F S9+ and patched ODIN would let me flash it successfully, but the phone won't boot due to some "mismatch" error because of the some security checks Samsung put into Bootloader so you can only run matching CSC, Modem, AP files.
SMH...how much effort they put to restrict users from rooting and customizing their phone...so much for openness they had promised once when they hired the Cyanogen guy....
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.
Thanks for the information,
I have a new phone so No issues with user data. How do I flash the firmware.

Hi,
I have successfully flashed the "KOO" variant once with and a second time without "userdata", however that did NOT remove any of the Bloatware/Carrier Apps.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
I disable the 3 apps then hide them from the app drawer.

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.
Dual SIM

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

I will post the U1 software for everyone to download shortly in a different thread.
U1 Links are posted. This is only for the carrier branded devices that are U to convert to U1 unlocked firmware. If you already have ordered the unlocked version directly from Samsung, these builds are useless to you. Check in the Development section for XDA for the links.
I'll admit I'm a noob, but I was wondering if there were guides or a way to flash the official T-Mobile carrier firmware on an unlocked s21 ultra by chance? If anyone can point me in the right direction please. Thank you and sorry if it's a dumb question.

You SHOULD receive Tmobile updates once you're on Tmobile firmware and network but I don't think it's something that can be guaranteed. Your Primary CSC can't be changed to TMO and therin lies the problem. In the last couple of years Samsung has complicated firmware and CSC transitions on it's numerous array of devices. Lots of potential users lean to an unlocked device thinking they'll have more freedom of choice but it won't always end up as a benefit. I always recommend buying your service provider's device for full functionality but it doesn't always work out since some users tend to swap service provider's on a regular basis.
I'm on T-mobile's network, month to month, no long term commitment which adds flexibility but even being on their network I didn't aquire their Branded Device. I have the Hong Kong SM-G9980 variant. I couldn't care less about 5G, to me it's the biggest marketing scam since light beer. The only other feature I lose is Carrier Aggregation which much like 5G enables faster download speeds. I can easily have my laptop handle this and transfer files or data to my device. So there's no carrier bloatware, the bootloader is unlocked, I get updates from Samsung typically sooner than US devices and still have Wi-Fi Calling and VoLTE via Tmobile. Most users don't do much research to define which device is best suited for their needs. "I got this great deal on an S21 Ultra but..." We can point the finger at Samsung as well, way too many variants leads to a lot of problems.

I downloaded the firmware from SamMobile and Odin then flashed it.

No I just did the firmware. Didn't do anything else with csc. Heard that's a pain in the ass with android 11
Is there a way to download the firmware for these? I am looking at using odin to flash this demo model I got my hands on. Any help is appreciated
It's highly unlikely you will be able to do this. There is probably hardware differences and maybe even some hardware components omitted completely. I've previously heard about some demo smart watches not have GPS hardware in them for example.
I'd be surprised if you didn't get an error when attempting to flash commercial firmware.
I've provided firmware to someone before, who flashes it on demo models. I'd have to try and find the conversation though, as I don't recall the details offhand
