Ok, thats good. What I'd recommend is to go into recovery and factory reset. Then boot into DL mode, and populate the BL/AP/CP/CSC files into Odin and see if that works for you. You will NEED to Factory reset since you're moving from U1 to a U firmware
Thank you very much factory rest from the recovery did the trick

Does anyone know if all of the below are One UI 3.0? Or, are some of them 3.1 also?

And, which are which, if different?

What are the other differences?

N986U1UES1CUA1

I have no idea which ones are 3.0 or 3.1. As far as differences? That'll vary, some are Security Patches others are Updates of some sort. You'd have to search online for each one to see the change logs

If you are still on bootloader 1 on your note 20 ultra then the N986U1UEU1DUB5 is the last update that you can get without going over to the bootloader 2. I know bootloader 1 you can get root but not on bootloader 2. The "DUB5" update is Android 11 with One UI 3.1. That's what I got on my Note cause I don't wanna loose root access. But at the end I might end up upgrading to bootloader 2 versions just cause I've been thinking a lot about the esim option. I upgraded from Android 10 to Android 11 "DUB5" using the "Home_CSC" option and didn't lose any of my information. Hope that helps out with your question.

Note: bootloader 2 "DUI7" update for N986U1 does not have esim option enable as of this post.

    See Post #2 and #3 for the Links to the Firmware
    ALL of the firmware posted here can be flashed on any N986U/N986U1 Device. The firmware is NOT carrier dependent and is only listed next to some of them in order to have an idea if you might get OTA when you flash it

    Understanding Firmware naming:

    N986USQU1ATGM
    N=Note
    986U or F etc, the model of device
    SQ, FX etc = CPU and model specific
    U,S,E = Update, Security, Engineering, respectively
    1,2,3,4,5 etc = bootloader revision (This is important! You cannot go to a previous revision)
    A,B,C,D = Android version
    T, U = Year (T=2020, U=2021 etc)
    A,B,C etc = month (January A - December L)
    1 - 9 and then A - Z =build compilation. This basically means how many builds there are in a month. They start at 1 and go to Z
    So N986USQU1ATGM would be
    N968-U-SQ-U-1-A-T-G-M
    N968U (Note 20 Ultra Carrier version), SQ (Snapdragon), U (Update), 1 (Bootloader version), A (Build 10), T (2020), G (July), M (22nd build)

    How to enter Download Mode:
    Turn off the device.
    Connect USB cable to your PC (Leave it disconnected from the phone)
    Press and hold down the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons. While they are still pressed, plug in the USB cable into your phone.
    The phone will go into download mode press volume up. In Odin you will see that phone is added.

    Dirty Flash:
    I would only do this if you are having to manually update to the newer firmware and would not do it if you are coming/going to U/U1 or from beta firmware or if you are on an old firmware. I'd also highly recommend doing a back up prior to the doing this
    Load these into Odin
    BL
    AP
    CP
    HOME_CSC
    Do NOT flash CSC or USERDATA, either of these WILL wipe your device
    This is a "dirty flash" and these can sometimes cause issues. Keep in mind if things start going sideways and stuff starts not working right, your first step to a solution will be to wipe the device.


    Tips on flashing U1 Firmware:
    You will have to wipe, can NOT dirty Flash going between U and U1 firmware
    Use the patched ODIN linked in post #2 or #3, Odin3_v3.13.3b (They are exactly the same)
    Have an active US Carrier SIM installed to get carrier features


    If you get your CSC Stuck on XAA/XAA/(Insert your carrier here), and can not get Carrier options back.
    Go to the tutorial that @borijess put together HERE

    Just a little heads up to everyone. When Android 12 drops for U1, I'll be removing the Beta stuff since we wont need it any longer. I try to keep things a little clean and tidy 😁
