N976V Early Access Retail Firmware Link Here

[iBowToAndroid]

This is the Verizon Note 10+ 5G, for those who may not know.

Once the device is released, this will be available via SamFirm and other sources, so I'm really only providing this now as early access, for anyone that wants to dig in and play around and see what they can find, etc.

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

Happy flashing!

Are you aware if there any universal (unlocked) firmwares available for this model, or do you have any suggestions for adding Samsung Cloud that Verizon intentionally removed??

There will never be a U1 model, so no U1 firmwares. No idea on Samsung Cloud - maybe start a thread about it?

you can install cloud from the app store..

the device has two csc.. GCF and VZW.. however once unlocked any carrier should work minus the 5G stuff which im sure is vzw onky on this model.. i have used with sprint and tmo sims and they work..

besides the vzw bloat its just as good..

Maybe you can answer my question: mine is a SM-976N korean model, everything works fine as it's factory unlocked even if KT branded, do you think the 5G stuffs may be available only with a KT SIM?

i have no idea... im in usa and have the verizon model.. although they have 5g aroubd ne i havent gone out to fibd/try it yet even on my own device lol..

i want to say like anything else if the device and your carrier support the same 5g bands then i would assume it should work..

here in usa tho each carrier has their own bands and the devices only support the specific carriers 5g bands so far

Any way to change the CSC without wiping data?

The CSC can't be changed on a N976V

 

[arlindemini]

Updated, but wondering if it will prevent 5G access.

What's the point/purpose of changing it?

 

[arlindemini]

Without being explicit, it allows you to run an app service with a GUDP plan that would otherwise be blocked Only concern is if it will prevent 5G access.. no change to APN and LTE seems to work fine but wasn't sure...

An app service..?

 

[elliwigy]

An app service..?

it also enables more dialer codes and other little things..

The app store does NOT even offer Samsung Cloud for Verizon devices. Furthermore, even after downloading Samsung Cloud from alternate sources, for whatever reason, Verizon has somehow managed to block the installation of it...

If you have a workaround, I'm all ears...

It must require some underlying app or framework in order to be installed and run

I'm pretty sure you get that message because it is already installed but blacklisted in the vzw csc. Of course you'd need root to change that though.


***This is why i'm strongly considering getting the chinese snapdragon vs.... (im on tmobile).....but they play around with the csc and block stuff too that i have unlocked on my note 8 thanks to root.

verizon does block it to an extent but if u want cloud its very easy to allow it.. just change the csc to GCF.. if u dont want it to stay on gcf then u could experiment with it.. i believe once its installed then switchin back to vzw might b ok?

if u dunno how to change csc u can use *#272*IMEI#

i do not recommend u use the DEV/QA function since u mighthave a hard time changing it back from gcf (DEV/QA makes it to wherecscdoesntchange when a sim card is inserted andstays whatever itsset to) since gcf doesnt have a way to get to the csc menu

For the dialer code, do I actually have to input my IMEI number??

...because simply typing 'IMEI' in the T9 dialer does not do anything.

Kinda confused on this one. Would you mind clarifying?? Thanks in advance...
