G965U and G965U1 Firmware Links Here

[iBowToAndroid]

AT&T USERDATA for bootloader 8 has been added - build TK4.

I also added the full firmware package because, while lots of other carriers got this build, I didn't see that anyone else had uploaded it on AFH yet.

And, from now on, you can expect AT&T USERDATAs to be added right away, when new bootloaders and new Android versions are released

after alot of time unsuccessful attempt flashing and getting "threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)" message from odin i finally manage to flash the firmware from G965U(T-Mobile) to G965U1 by doing this step.

1 -remove the sim card from the phone.
2 -Hard reset the phone.
3 -let the phone boot up to first intro and power it down and go to the download mode.
4 -flash the G965u1 (SM-G965U1_XAA_G965U1UEU7ETH2) firmware using modded odin

if that failed, format and install fresh windows on your pc and install all the required drivers and software for flashing the phone and try the step above again.

Good luck.

I have T-Mobile. What is the purpose and gains of flashing the G965U1

No carrier bloatware

Bootloader 9 files have (finally) been added for AT&T - both USERDATA and (because I think every other carrier got v9 back in January, so no one else will get this same build) the rest of the full firmware files

hi all, thx to everyone who has contributed to this lexicon of firmwares and knowledge... but...

...just to ensure im not off the mark here, i have a S9+ that i bought for my nepbuild hew locally (in the USA) that was advertised as "Unlocked"... I gave it to my nephew who put his Cricket SIM into it and all works EXCEPT for calls, they fail immediately, but SMS/MMS/data all work... the phone is indeed SIM unlocked, but in the software section it shows "service provider sw ver. = TMB/XAA/VZW", the phone displays a Tmobile boot screen (with insanely irritating chime!) at every boot and has Tmobile bloat included... from what i gather this started out as a Verizon-branded phone, was unlocked, then flashed with a Tmobile firmware version (build number QP1A.190711.020.G965USQS9FUA2)... my nephew being a Cricket user Im assuming flashing this phone to the ATT carrier version should allow his SIM to work for calls, is this correct?

i have downloaded the ATT_Userdata file in the first post of this thread, along with the 3GB G965U_UB5_9.zip that was in the same folder, do i also still need a G965U1 firmware package to flash before i use the ATT files, to remove the Tmo bloat? should this work to get his phone working for calls? i have downloaded and installed the patched Odin build along with the Samsung USB drivers already.

thanks in advance for any clarification, really hesitant to proceed without some confirmation.

You may be able to force the bloatware to switch just by inserting an AT&T SIM. Try that, before messing around with firmware

Does anybody have an unlocked BL that is for the G965U1UES9FVD1? I have spent days trying to unlock the OEM enable option.. but it is hidden and unable to flash TWRP or anything.

The latest IMG that i was able to find off other ROMs that were unlocked is for v7. Unable to flash v9 w/ ODIN.

Anybody know what else I can try at this time? I have ran out of options.

BL unlocking doesn't work that way. It's not done with firmware files.

It can be done on your model, but requires a paid service
