Question S23 SM-S911U1 stock rom Needed ASAP

[FabodaReal]

Hello I received a Samsung Galaxy S23 from a friend today. He was having problems with the device stuck in a boot loop and unable to get past the Samsung startup screen, so I decided to flash it for him as a failed attempt to help a friend and get some $ in return. The device identifies as a SM-S911U1 , which I am led to believe it is an unlocked US version. Therefore, if there is any OTHER ROM I could flash as long as it should work, I'm willing to ADB and try it out and post results.. thank you in advance.

So he should have sent it to warranty (if he wasn't messing around and cause that).

ive found some but they are for the canada versions and idk if i can flash them to this device . it is unlocked with the oym xaa version currently on it . Any help on flashing would be very much apprecated as well as any info on how to get to the developer menu or turn on usb debug as it seems the device has those turned off also . Thank you

I've successfully flashed it using Odin with a US cellular rom but it shows up now as a "U" deviIce. In other words the modelnow shows in about phone as SM-S911U instead if the original SM-S911U1. I now have the proper file to flash MY device ( he gave it to me for a amazing price as i found out its a demo device and he got it from his job but thats another issue as now i need help fixing the IMEI and seeimg if it even has cellular capabilities ....) my only question right now is if i flash the device with a "U1" file now instead of a "U" file will i brick the phone?? I am curremtly going to attempt it using the file that was told to me about by "realbbb" (thank you BTW!) that is available on frija and see if it bricks the device or if it fixes my cellular issues and activates the modem to use with a SIM card now. Hope all goes well.

Hello and thank you very much for this info. i been busy lately and just was able to come across your post today and am going to try it right now. Also if you would happen to know about the whole 'U' device vs. 'U1" device thing I would greatly apricate it. Also please refer to my previous reply I did to "windows4droid" about me flashing the device and it now showing up as a "SM-S911U Galaxy S23 instead of a "SM-S911U1" device as it had originally been when I first received the phone. Thank you so very much. I'm going to try to flash the phone right now with the file you suggested to me and hope it can revert back to the original model now that it doesn't have the factory live demo mode on it anymore (that's the original reason the device was not working and stuck in a bootloop because my friend had tried to remove the demo mode from the phone and messed it up the first time...) I dont have screen shots of what was originally on the device but this is what is now on it since i flashed it myself. heres some screenshots so yall can see whats going on and whats on the phone currently.

I understand that WWD is a DEMO CSC. Flash U or U1 firmware. I would run with U1.

The missing IMEI's are also an indication of a demo device. Flashing anything other than the original imei is prohibited (be careful) and getting a valid unused imei/imei(esim) will be a pain with a newly released series. Flash a donor imei and/or imei(esim) to use.

Hopefully the demo device is not defective or incomplete.
