How To Guide SM-S918U S23 ULTRA/918U1 UNITED STATES FIRMWARE FLASHING

[spacemanvt]

I have a Verizon U variant and I'm running U1. I like the less apps, but most of all I like I got my Samsung Cloud back. I just hate the fact carriers would block a native app because they want you to use theirs.

interesting, looks like Spectrum isnt blocking Samsung cloud.

Itching for a new ROM...

On a device that's not bootloader unlockable....?

 

[ekerbuddyeker]

I meant an update

But the updates most of the time don't offer anything unless there is a fix. Placebo affects..lol

Since bootloader hasn't change, flash with Odin as far back as you can, then watch your device Ota...lol that will satisfy your desire for an update

This is a non phone related question. So my Galaxy watch 5 had an issue and I sent it to Samsung for warranty. The repaired it (basically replaced the entire watch including the watch band) and it still has the same IMEI number, but it is not activated on my Number share deal (verizon) when i set it up, it did find the network to go further. In about watch doesn't show the watches phone number or ICCID number. Just serial number and IMEI number. Any one know of any way to force the watch to activate?

I don't have an answer for your question but I do want to know how you got Samsung to take the watch back? I also have issues with my Galaxy watch 5.

I just signed into Samsung account on line and put in for a service request. They gave me a tracking number to give UPS store and it got next day aired to them (on them) they took 4 days and sent me tracking info when it came back. All covered. Was like 1 week turn around.

Do you know there is also a GW5 forum on XDA?

 

[bassman418]

Yes, but this is a bit unique being I'm running U1 firmware on a U device. So was looking to see if other people doing the same has had this issue.
