Little confused

Hey guys, I am new to the Samsung platform and I'm looking to install the Unlocked version firmware on my device. I have the At&t s9+ g965usqs3arib. First I want to know if I need to install firmware in order like 8.0.0 - 8.1.0 -9.0.0 etc. Installing each update as they came out in order and another thing what do these last 4 digits of the software number mean? The only thing I've been able to find is the 3 in my model is boot loader number 3. I'm just looking to understand all these firmware numbers more before installing a random firmware that someone tells me to use in their guide! I used to be on HTC and they firmware and roms were marked different. Thanks

Trying to get Wifi Calling on Cricket (AT&T)

Hello, all! So I downloaded the U files to flash from U1 to U. hoping it'll allow me to get Wi-Fi Calling on Cricket (AT&T)

When I tried flashing, Odin failed after this:

I tried flashing the SM-G965U_G965USQS4CSD3_Official_Firmware with no Userdata

Attached is my software info. Latest update, haven't tried anything before today to mess with the software besides moving the status bar clock to the right side

Edit 1: I'm currently downloading G965U1UEU5CSF1 XAA with SamFirm. Will try to flash later with a clean wipe and hope for the best

You can only flash firmware to the phone that has a bootloader version equal too (or higher) then what is currently installed on the phone. Attempting to flash a bootloader version lower then what is currently installed will fail.

The image you posted of the about phone shows you currently have bootloader version 5.. The reason why flashing the firmware G965USQS4CSD3 failed is because it has bootloader version 4

Is USB Debugging turned on?
Have you tried other cables/USB ports?

    Introduction:

    So, what is userdata?
    A lot of people think this is carrier bloat only. However, userdata also contains the files necessary to activate carrier specific features. Without it, you may not be able utilize all of the carrier features that the phone is capable of providing. Please note that carrier userdata may not be available for your carrier.

    Yea I remember those days... Well truth is I haven't rooted.. I was considering it until I read the warranty part... My point is, the reason I want it rooted is because I want to use some modded applications. I researched further and found out I could use some without even rooting. So i tried downloading Spotify mod app, but unfortunately it didn't work. I couldn't get recent application for it, what I kept getting was an outdated mod app. In all it didn't work. So am asking if there's a way to use mod apps without rooting the phone. Thank you

    You'll have to wait until someone mods the latest app. Or, you could just pay for Spotify. For the record, I used to use a modded Spotify, and they typically patch within a day or two of a modded apk being released. They may have finally switched to server side authentication which is why your likely not seeing an updated version. I stopped bothering because it's just a cat and mouse game. I didn't feel like Spotify was worth it, so I moved on.

    I find Google Play Music is a better deal. I get add-free YouTube, and all the same music as Spotify, for the same price.

    On a side note, I don't believe Xda allows modded apks that bypass paid features. There are sites that cater to such things, but I'm pretty sure it's a no-no here. They tend to support devs / companies as opposed to cheating them out of money.

    Hi dude, I have 2 questions, I just buy S9+ 965U sprint unlock running U3ARH7 can I flash this 965U1's fw? and What is CSC in U1 fw? thanks
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Hi, you can flash the U1 firmware on the Sprint 965U. You need to use the patched Odin linked in the OP. The CSC file included is for multiple carriers. When flashing it will read your sim and setup accordingly.
