G970U and G970U1 Firmware Links Here

[iBowToAndroid]

I have an G975U1 and I attempted to flash the U1 firmware using 3.13 out of curiosity.

Were you using HOME CSC, or non HOME?

 

[GuestK00136]

Were you using HOME CSC, or non HOME?

HOME.

I'm game to experiment if you want me to try different ODINs or software combinations.

I was, and am, hoping that we could switch firmware like prior Snapdragon variants.

You can switch perfectly fine. But you always need to use non HOME CSC.

HOME CSC lacks the .pit file because it doesn't wipe the device. So if partitions have changed between builds, of course it'll fail without a pit file to tell it what the new partition structure is.

Beautiful! Worked like a charm.

Running U1 firmware on my 6 hour old s10e. ?

Running U1 firmware on my 6 hour old s10e.

1) Which carrier was your phone originally before you flashed it?
2) Which odin app did you use?

 

[Xenshen]

Yeah ive flashed and flashed succefully and its not putting tmobile bloatware on the phone even entering and wiping and formating the phone and booting into the bootloader. I have the U1 firmware but its still showing vzw/vzw/vzw

I haven't flashed yet, and my unlocked S10e with T-Mobile sim, shows TMB/TMB/XAA. Did you flash userdata file too?

Verizon. Modded 3.13.

Yeah i used his tmobile userdata and did csc flash as well

If you have VZW phone, why would you want T-Mobile userdata?

 

[matteosaeed]

Could you clarify the exact actions you took, step by step? And which odin?

The instructions from the op below will could work. However

I didn't wipe, I flashed and I used home csc, had to do a factory reset from recovery after flashing.
For Odin I used the patched one by Raymond. The other one didn't work for me. Keep in mind I had to take the ota that TMobile put put out. Before that, flashing anything was failing.

Also do not forget to install the Samsung USB drivers .

Here's the procedure that worked best on the S9s, to convert firmware on a U model:

1. Wipe in recovery -->reboot bootloader-->flash U1 firmware
2. Upon boot, watch for the popup that says "your device will restart to apply new carrier settings", and do it. Make sure your desired SIM is inserted for this step.
3. After that finishes, power off, boot to download, and flash desired U firmware with non HOME CSC and desired U USERDATA. That should give you all the desired carrier settings - and bloatware.

Also, G973U and G973U1 firmware is now live and downloadable in SamFirm. Getting U1 (at least for now) requires manual entry - Auto will not work. U firmware is up for these carriers:

Xfinity Mobile
Spectrum Mobile
Sprint
T-Mobile
Metro
US Cellular
Verizon (have to use Manual entry - Auto will not work)

So going forward, I'll only be adding full builds if I can get them before they hit SamFirm, and only if there isn't build for that month already (eg. I won't add any more February builds since SBA is already up.). I will try to stay up to date on USERDATAs for AT&T and Cricket, since AT&T won't let their firmware be put on SamFirm.

al right so im flashing the U1 firmware and using the tmb data the u1 firmware takes but the tmb userdata isnt taking and its vzw/vzw.vzw

Successfully converted my Verizon S10e to U1 firmware. Thanks OP. If anyone has trouble or issues just ask.

yeah im verizon but i cant get it off of vzw/vzw/vzw it has the u1 firmware installed thou

I think i need a different csc file one included doesnt wipe my verizon data

Because i want the tmobile bloat?

T-Mobile bloat is probably the most harmless than other carriers

MODS: Please move appropriately if the S10e is ever given its own forum

(For those who don't know, G970U is the model number of all of the US carrier versions of the Galaxy S10e. The G970U1 is the model number of the same device, but sold by Samsung SIM unlocked and with no carrier bloatware. Firmware is 100% interchangeable among any of those models.)

The large files will be your 4 part firmware and then grab your desired USERDATA as well. I'll continue to add more versions and more USERDATAs over time.

Happy flashing!

U firmware: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=290639
U1 firmware: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=290640

Notes:

- I compress extra small for space and bandwith savings. The default Windows extractor can't handle it, so you'll need a 3rd party tool like 7zip, WinRAR, etc

- I remove the .md5 from each file solely for faster flashing (Odin won't check the file integrity without it). Rest assured, the files are perfectly fine and safe - Odin has a million safechecks built in.

- My naming method for folders is: build - bootloader - Android version.

So "SAT - 1 - 9.0" means the full build number ends in SAT, it's bootloader version 1, and it's Android 9.0. When bootloader and Android versions increment, the first build to have those changes will have its folder notated appropriately.

- HOME CSC file keeps data intact; using the other CSC will wipe data. Any zips with "wipe" in the title do not have a HOME CSC included.
NOTE: With initial release, HOME CSC was not included by default, so I created it myself. Should flash fine, but until noted by someone in the thread, it has not been tested.

- SamFirm still works, if you want to download them yourself. I pay for a subscription to a site that gets beta builds and also gets the official releases before they hit SamFirm, so that's where my files come from

- I have identical threads for the S10 and S10+ as well

- You can get USERDATAs from SamFirm for everything but AT&T and Cricket- those files will never be on SamFirm. So in addition to the 5 piece firmware, I'll try to always upload one USERDATA per bootloader increment for those carriers.

- For USERDATAS (all the others are self explanatory):

AIO = Cricket
CCT = Xfinity Mobile (Comcast)
CHA - Spectrum Mobile (Charter)
TMK = Metro PCS

No March, G970U1 firmware? I am holding off with the flashing of my phone until a recently released U1 firmware appears, as I may need to go back

You think this method can change my CSC ? i have a french Orange CSC(FTM) and i want to change to no carrier french (XEF), when i flash with multi CSC firmware (with XEF in and BTU master CSC) my CSC is BTU!!

These models are for US carriers and firmware may not properly contain EU CSC codes. Also is your phone model is SM-G970F or G970U(U1)?

[/COLOR]Meh i give up u1 firmware it is

Just to be clear, you were flashing the CSC file and not the Home_CSC file, correct? I did not wipe my phone before flashing the U1 firmware, and my phone no longer has the Verizon boot screen or apps, it was 100% wiped. You should be flashing the CSC file and NOT Home_CSC - just to be clear.

Why not install Samfirm and use it to download the latest U1 firmware then? Or flash the older U1 SAT firmware, and then take OTA update to SBA

You mean install Samfirm app or get firmware from their website?
I am at the march T-Mobile firmware and want to go back to U1, but can't get the current firmware to go back

There is no March firmware for any S10 models yet. The existing builds are still February ones. The newest for U1 is SBA, and you can get it from SamFirm
