Firmware jumping

Back in the older Samsung phones and tablets, you could odin the "stock" Samsung firmware over the carrier firmware. I did this with my S7, S6, and Note 6. Has anyone tried this with the Note 8 yet? I am going to attempt tonight when I get home, just wanted feedback from anyone who has tried. In my personal experience, it was the best way to rid of bloatware.

I was on EVR EE firmware and changed it to XEU firmware with no problems

@pnr2020 is the XEU firmware the no-carrier version?

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....

Looking for Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Official Stock AT&T Rom for my unlocked phone

I bought a Note 9 from Amazon I thought it was an official AT&T phone but it is the unlocked version. My unlocked version does not support a number of AT&T's features I would like to have access too. I have read how to flash the Rom and I know how to do it. I downloaded a Rom which I thought was the AT&T stock rom but it was actually the same Rom I had the unlocked version. So when I flashed it it was the same as before. I think it is possible it flash the phone so that it is like I bought it from AT&T. I have seen people do this on youtube with their Galaxy note 10's. I am unable to find the Official Stock Rom or maybe I have and am unsure if it is the official one. So if anyone knows where I can get the dang official Rom so I can flash my unlocked phone and turn it into an official AT&T phone that would really help me. Thank you very much.
My Model Number is
SM-N96OU1
My Baseband Version is
N96OU1UEU4DTC7
My build number is
QPA.190711.020.N96OU1UEU4DTC7

Will this one work on my phone?

in fact that DID answer your question.
in sammobile, you could find your "carrier" rom version as you want, which is U, not U1 (unlock version).
then use samfirm or frija to download the rom with max speed.

So If I want to flash it too the official AT&T I should look for SM-N96OU instead of SM-N96OU1, correct? I am nervous about bricking the phone. I have read that the AT&T version and the unlocked phones are exactly the same they just have different firmware. Is this true?

I'm looking to convert my SM-N960U1 (unlocked) to the AT&T version as well. I'm seeing the following as the lastest firmware I should be downloading to convert to AT&T. Can anyone verify this because the N960U does not have AT&T firmware available?
...firmware/SM-N960U1/ATT/download/N960U1UEU4DTC7/335086/

All the U firmware is the same. If you have At&t sim you can flash any Note 9 U firmware and it will provision to your sim. If you are coming from U1 you will need to do a factory wipe. Was your device purchased as unlocked or was it U?....
Oops never mind I see its unlocked.

For some reason i feel that Sammobile its more about selling firmware software to buyers of samsung instead of helping people take the best out of their phones. Some of use pay over the 1000 dollar for a phone and dont get easy help while samsung should atleast give us the freedom to get the firmwares for our devices for free. Sam mobile has ablot of information on their website,but ofcourse nothing for free. Even signing up their websites is an issue,and to get support thats another issue. So i most say Sam mobile its all about selling Samsung software,while you and me who buy the phones,not sammobile! Resell it back to us. Seriously its discrimination in my eyes. Maybe am wrong, but thats how i feel about. Now i dont know what business relation sammobile has with samsung,but i know the founder is not a. Chinese, but a Holland guy. Thank u.

Need to use Manual entry in SamFirm/Frija.
Otherwise you can wait for my S21 firmware threads, which will be up as soon as AFH adds the devices to the database

I have tried to find both U and U1 firmware on Frija and had no luck. Can you tell me what you used for the Model Number and CSC when you found them on Frijja? The only one I can find is G996B ???

USA S21 is G996U. But you need to use Manual entry and type out all 3 fields in full. Auto won't work until the actual device release date

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.

Question Need help updating my device (FIXED IT BY MYSELF. IT WORKED.)

Can anyone help me here? I'm using a S21 Ultra which has U based firmware and it's an AT&T model. I'm not living in USA and that is why I can't update my device. If I switch to U1 will I be getting updates outside USA? Or is there other ways to get updates on my phone? I don't want to manually update everytime. I want to get updates normally. Please help me.

When i switched to U1. I was able to get OTA. Im outside US as well. Im on ASIA.
