Very rusty on the flashes. Sprint finally stopped allowing my note 4 to work, so.. Note 20ultra, and switched over to Fi. Unfortunately, dual sim card support ... which I asked about and read about isn't a thing in the US... (very pissed)
It doesn't appear that FI will make any difference as the App controls the back end of it?
So, N986U1
It's been updating mostly on its own since I've been reading here. But U1 is important. Android 11, UI 3.
Since this phone should be non carrier branded, it should be unlocked?
Looks like reading this that all these phones are locked regardless???? Am I reading that right? Moving on.
I still run userdata_slot-n98*u tar file through odin?
But I need to run the ForceWipe version, correct?
And If I'm reading all this right, this will root, unlock, firmware and install TWRP?
Looks like I paused in time too, cause next update was UI3.1
Insert standard rant about blah blah blah, my phone, blah blah, shouldn't be locked.
Edit:
Bootloader showing KG Status: Checking.
From what I'm reading, that's unlocked bootloader?
Ahh check in fastboot, and it sounds like all devices 100% unlocked from factory. This is bovine scatology.
