This is a fantastic guide, really removed 90% of my headache. I will add that I didn't have the original cable but had success using a Type-C Thunderbolt 3 cable.
one thing to bear in mind is that your bootloader has to be unlocked in order for this to work. Thats done by going into developer mode first, select unlock OEM and then going through the unlock cycle.
@@madhavmurali8090 if its bricked youll have to try and unbirck it first, you need to try and go into bootsafe mode and then try to factory reset (bear in mind you will lose everything).

Excellent guide. I followed this to change CSC on my Galaxy S7. which I hade to do because I had no volte and my network provider stopped supporting 3G upon which my phone was no longer receiving incoming calls. After following this guide I have now volte. Many thanks
Worked like a charm, even the 2X Download mode. Only thing I would add is that the latest version of Odin Patched is 3.14.1 but it's almost a year later and the video is still relevant. You da man!
I might be late but Thank you man, you saved me. Just had a problem with my old Galaxy A10 flashing a custom Lineage OS but had issues in the boot logo, and this literally saved my old phone by reflashing the original since I had no way in reflashing it
OMG! Finally tutorial that's simple, easy to follow, and works! Also really appreciate it that you listed down the steps in the vid description so I don't have to keep going back and forth on the video...Next, you should make a tutorial on how to make tutorials :D
This is the most well done rom flash tutorial I've found yet. 2 hours of guys who are talking in loud rooms (in one video, you could actually hear a woman and child having a huge fight in the background), out of focus camera work, weird robot voices.... Ugh, I already have a headache over this and I haven't even started the process yet!!
Thanks man! Soft bricked my phone and tried absolutely everything. Had all the same issues as you but followed this step by step and boom back to how it was originally! 🙌🏻
I have an s9 that I can not for the life of me get to connect to a network. Sim card unregistered error even with multiple working sim cards. Think this would be a possible solution to reset the phone more permanently then the simple factory reset?
Thank you very much. I got an urgent text message from my carrier saying I need to update the software, or it will stop working starting 2/22/2022. I tried but got software version not supported. I've been to the carrier's store, talked to a support on the phone and she said the next thing to try is factory reset. I suspect it won't work, because my Samsung Note 9 though was unlocked when I bough it, it was a TMB phone. I pop in a TMB sim card and got the same software not supported message. Also, it showed no phone service. I can imagine that's what's going to happen comes 2/22/2022. I think I may as well install the new firmware through Odin instead of a factory reset. That's how I found this video. I've been running around and stressed all day, but your video is very informative and assuring and best of all made me laugh. I just subscribed your channel.
I can confirm that my S10 Plus also took rebooting the phone into download mode twice and then it worked. Remember that you dont have to disconnect the power button to do it the second time. Thanks!
I love ur vids... I have a question could u find the firmware without the carrier bloatware for my (SM-G990U2) SAMSUNG S21FE I can not find it anywhere... I've found the exact same one I have installed already...
One extra hint: I also had the Complete(Write) operation failed error and did not get it solved by all other hints mentioned. The only way to get it solved was by picking the CSC file instead of the HOME_CSC file. Not sure why it worked, but it did!
Just flashed my Galaxy Z Flip 3 from Verizon to Pure Samsung to get rid of Verizon's blocking of Samsung Cloud. I used your steps but did forget to reboot into download mode twice. However, the flash was successful on the first attempt. Thank you so much for the clear instructions.
Thank you for the video dude. It helped me a lot. Though there were many points and information missing like unlocking bootloader, binary lvl, FRP and OEM lock must be off(not sure but better if it's off), etc. But really appreciate it.
Broooo!! Man you saved me on that boot download trick. My phone was stuck on bootloop. Failed like 100 times on Odin. Now i got a pass time man. Thanks! Thanks!
I'm not sure if your like me but I couldn't get any of the files in these videos to open or run u finally found 1 that works for android version 4.0.4 with the md5 file Sfirmware.com/downloads-file/5237/gt-p7510_xeu_1_20120718120926_orzqlw74ia
I'm on 38% download Note 20 ultra 5g firmware. Ugh . I been waiting for the last 3 hours, if you laptop goes off screen the download stops same with the phone
Brilliant! Thank you so much, this was just what I was looking for! Used the patched version of Odin3 v3.13.1 3B and a firmware from Sammobile on my Galaxy Note 9. No problems :)
Glad I found tis tutorial. It's going to be a tremendous help in upgrading my S10e. I have a few questions. My phone is a model SM-G970U (US unlocked) and the CSC is ATT. Can I use the firmware for the SM-G970W (Canadian unlocked) and the Canada unbranded CSC AXC. Is there any advantage in changing from a US to a Canadian model? Lastly, with the Odin v3.14.4 is it still necessary to use the "Patched Odin". Thanks for any and all advice that you may be able to provide and for the incredibly helpful videos.
Bro You are the BEST tutorial guy I've ever seen. I have a S21 plus that's a live demo unit. I got it for a hundred bucks. I disabled the retail software and it updated twice and then it became stuck on the April 2021 patch. I followed this one to a absolute T and it worked!! I have android 13 now!! I sincerely feel like we're homes now. Thank you 😊 💓 ☺️ You don't understand how happy I am
Hi mate, my Odin is ready with the files attached. Now before I do this here is a quick rundown. I don't fucking know why suddenly my AT&T unlocked note 20 ultra 5G suddenly says no sim.. I went to Samsung and says cannot do anything as I'm here in use Dubai and I'm using a US unlocked unit by AT&T. He said try updating the android to last A13 Oneui 5.0. UNFORTUNATELY ATT csc is not supported by ODIN , So I had to download the T-Mobile unit files. PLEASE CAN ANYONE ANSWER: will this fix the No sim issue I'm having issue with, and the main question is, Is it safe to flash t-mobile Android 13 patch because AT&T I cannot find any where. Anyone, please help and comment before I push this button. Ty
I have samsung s10 sm-g973u and I'm not living in USA, I want to get new updates. My service provider software version is XAA/XAA/SPR I want to change the first one XAA to SPR then I can update my phone software. Also I don't want to lock sim in my phone. Please help!😐
I can't believe this worked. I have a Samsung S8+ (US) and I spent hours trying to upgrade it. For some reason, the patched version worked first try while every other Odin version failed. You earned a like.
My galaxy note 9 shows GCF, which seems unknown as per the web. I am from Bangladesh, which firmware should I try to use to update my phone which contains android 9 version.
U & U1 version are just different firmwares, with the U being the carrier version. You're not necessarily locked in to a carrier just by having their firmware. You can turn your U1 to a U version by flashing Cricket's firmware. You need the three letter CSC code for Cricket to identify the right firmware to download. Then you need to use what they call ODIN or patched ODIN to flash the firmware to your phone. This is a breakdown of the process
Will the phone automatically download and update the security patches/updates and new Android versions in the future after doing what is explained in the video? Or you will have to do it manually every time?
@Mohit Singh Unfortunately it does not. I have to do it manually every couple of months. I have an ATT phone but use it under other carriers in the US. I tried XAA and ATT, but both of them always require me to re-update my phone a few months later. Any workaround for this, please?
Most videos like this are either boring and slow or a bad attempt at being funny and therefore very cringy. You somehow made me watch for 10 minutes but make it feel like 5. Good job.
Hi there. i know its a bit late. but i just wanna ask about my phone. i live in Malaysia, so the country code is 'XME', and bought my s21 ultra is from US. so when i search for the firmware according to the phone model number. its all showing US firmwares and i cant find the XME ones. could you please help? thank you sir.

Please I'm in Nigeria and my Samsung model is SM-G935u.i input my model in the search box and I saw my exact model but my country which is Nigeria is not among the list of countries shown on the screen
Same issue i am having now. Although currently downloading the Nigerian version. I hope i won't have any issues once i am done flashing. What did you do to solve this issue
You Should call AT&T and tell them how to do their job! I've been fighting with them for two weeks no one knows how to fix this problem. Thank you for making this video and explaining it so simply. The flash worked on the 1st attempt and the phone is awesome. Thank You.
So I am in the U.S. and my carrier is Verizon (I understand you're from Canada and that may mean nothing to you) I have a Note20 Ultra that I got through them. I found your video because Verizon has purposely blocked certain software capabilities so that Verizon can push it's inferior version of it. The main one I am trying to access is the call and text sync with other Samsung devices (My Tab S7+ in particular). My goal is to get the fresh fully unlocked firmware so that I can use said feature(s). So, my question is, should I download the Verizon version firmware, or will that just round me back to square one? If not, is there a version that I can get that won't compromise my cell carrier capability? Thank you for your time, any help is appreciated.
@@luccicorp how far bro ? You don run am.. Service provider SW ver. SAOMC_SM-N975F_OXM_XXV_QQ_0002 R3CM7092FQK XXV/ECT,XXV/XAA. I wan ask if na that normal Odin or the patched I go use flash the firmware with ect code.
Just wanted to say thanks...again! Just flashed my 3rd phone in the last 4 years using your video. Everything still holds up perfectly. I did use Frija instead of Sammobile and I didnt have to put my S23 Ultra into download mode twice. Only one, then hit start. 3 minutes later or so and it was good to go. Still great video in April 2024. You are awesome!!
Hi, replying to you since you have the most recent comment. I was planning on buying an s24 from hong kong since here in europe we get the exynos variant and the only way to get a snapdragon is to import, but i might need to change the firmware's region to get it to work properly. Do you know if this tutorial would still work for something like that?
@@Nicola-qx5lb Yes, it definitely should work for that exactly. With patched Odin you can switch to any region or carrier version of software with in the region. I have never tried with exynos variant though. May want to make sure firmware is the same.
@@1shaggy123 thank you for the reply. I'm pretty ignorant on the subject as this is my first time looking into something like this, but how would you be able to make sure that the firmware can be changed? also would you recommend any tutorial on this topic? because although this video is pretty well done it doesn't really focus on this matter + it's over 3 years old and I'm not quite sure everything would still work the same
Has anyone from the United States done this successfully? I can't find a firmware from the US anywhere?! I used "Unknown" and phone is still stuck in bootloop and now saying "firmware info was not valid"
My brother.. You have helped and saved me A BUNCH of times and phones.. I will play this exact video atleast once a year to help me out with my problem.. I've already memorized the process.. but if I don't watch your video, I feel like I'm missing something.. BIG BIG BIGG THANKS for all this time!!
Great viewing mate. Cheers. Ive been down the same path as you. ... For newbies.... important! - Do not flash exynos firmware onto a snapdragon chipset mobile.... bad things will happen! . 🍻👊👍
THANK YOU for posting this - over two years later it still applies and helped me get my AT&T heritage-but-moved-to-Verizon phone updated to Android 12!
How do third party carriers fit into these instructions? For instance, I have an unlocked phone that I believed was originally set up with Sprint. I want to use it with Total Wireless (which uses Verizon towers). Should I be getting the Verizon download (VZW) or the unbranded download (XAA/XAS)?
hey, i bought a samsung galaxy s21 Ultra 5G which isn't providing any security patches or system updates...i've recently discovered the build number is SM-G998U which seems to be USA/Verizon build which would explain why its not showing any new updates. So looks like this phones been flashed before i bought it (from backmarket) When trying to install a UK ROM under H3G it think it is for three network on Odin i get FAIL! Re-Partition failed. i am using the patched version of Odin due to different region. i've tried a different USB cable, a different UBS port, a different machine and a different UK Rom with no luck. I'd aso like to add that in Dev options i am able to enable USB debugging but OEM unlock doesn't exist in my dev options list. any help would be appreciated. Thanks :)
Hello, at the moment I am trying to find a suitable firmware to download. Unfortunately, SamMobile has archived the firmware for my device, and is only available for premium users. Throughout this whole day I have had difficulty in finding the firmware I need. As such, I am hoping if you, or anybody else, could help me locate the firmware for a Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Model Number: SM-N910G And I believe the region code is XSA (for Australia) In the mean time, I will keep on searching - but it would be wonderful if anybody else could help me out! Thank you R3DLIN3S for the very informative video :)
Well, I'm on day 3 of trying to flash mine. I've attempted to do the slow download a couple of times (different source as sammobile only offers the one I need for premium users) and lost network connection both times during download. Thought I could find another way around it but decided it was either wait or pay. Soooo.... I'm waiting again. Wish me luck.
also, its not a bad idea to go in to power settings (advanced) and suspend the USB port power off. Over time, windows may drop power to some USB ports which are not currently transmitting data, or if windows thinks the port is inactive.
thank you for the video i did everything you said but my firmware installation is stuck on initialization odin is stuck here: Added!! Enter CS for MD5.. Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

Hii. I just got a new samsung phone and I can't access some apps like; samsung pass, secure folder and samsung health. Anytime I try, it would show that my phone has been rooted. Will installing the stock firmware resolve this issue?
I've got a Samsung Galaxy s10 model SM-G973F and the firmware end in XEU/XEU,ITV/ITV , I've no idea which version of the firmware I should download! I literally never got an OTA update. Anybody know the answer?
@@jnkamas I brought it in a service centre as it was still in warranty and they change the entire logic card as they says the device wasn't accept any update, weird story
so something i noticed on that sammobile site, after you start a download at the slow sub 300kb/s rate, if you download additional firmwares they go through at 3-4mb/s LOL. ive downloaded 2 others in the time the first got to 1gb and will have 3 done within the next hour while the original shows 8 hours left.
@@RustyMonkey9 i believe your best bet is to get the Canadian n960w (with an unbranded carrier... for example XAC) firmware from sammobile. I successfully flashed an unbranded u1 (usa) software but still am not receiving ota updates here in Canada.. next time I do it ill flash that canadian one I just mentioned. I would imagine NO bloatware as its unbranded in Canada...?
@@pimpedout1620 tons of bloatware on the at&t version of the S10. Plus never got an OTA, still on the oldest shit possible. But yea, I'll try flashing to the W version so hopefully I can get updates and security patches.

Make sure you have oem unlock on, USB debugging on before.
Wow, you rock, super easy and I was able to flash 2 X Verizon Note 8s to Straight talk for my kids and then able to flash a Note 9 T mobile to straight talk for myself. Keep up the good work.

Please I'm in Nigeria and my Samsung model is SM-G935u.i input my model in the search box and I saw my exact model but my country which is Nigeria is not among the list of countries shown on the screen

Worked like a charm, thanks mate

You Should call AT&T and tell them how to do their job! I've been fighting with them for two weeks no one knows how to fix this problem. Thank you for making this video and explaining it so simply. The flash worked on the 1st attempt and the phone is awesome. Thank You.
Did you keep the att firmware or switch to global firmware? I want to switch to global but don't want to ruin my phone.
@@asherburns2953 what did you end up doing?
So I am in the U.S. and my carrier is Verizon (I understand you're from Canada and that may mean nothing to you) I have a Note20 Ultra that I got through them. I found your video because Verizon has purposely blocked certain software capabilities so that Verizon can push it's inferior version of it. The main one I am trying to access is the call and text sync with other Samsung devices (My Tab S7+ in particular). My goal is to get the fresh fully unlocked firmware so that I can use said feature(s). So, my question is, should I download the Verizon version firmware, or will that just round me back to square one? If not, is there a version that I can get that won't compromise my cell carrier capability? Thank you for your time, any help is appreciated.
Hi there is no response this your question. But where you able to figure it out?
I also have a verizon Note 10+ that I want to flash.

I wan ask if na that normal Odin or the patched I go use flash the firmware with ect code.
What if the firmware is just ONE ".tar.md5" file....no Ap, BL. CSC etc...so just put that one file in AP and use Odin?.is that right.
What if the phone is from UAE, can I choose USA. I am moving back to USA...... or does it matter? Thanks for reply
i freaking love you dude i used the patched odin and i can finally get software updates. I subbed and liked the vid you really deserve more.
Hi, Was your phone knox guard locked
You sir, deserve a medal. Perfect guide, I hope you channel blows up and you keep this same consistancy. Wel done!
Just wanted to say thanks...again! Just flashed my 3rd phone in the last 4 years using your video. Everything still holds up perfectly. I did use Frija instead of Sammobile and I didnt have to put my S23 Ultra into download mode twice. Only one, then hit start. 3 minutes later or so and it was good to go. Still great video in April 2024. You are awesome!!
Hi, replying to you since you have the most recent comment.
I was planning on buying an s24 from hong kong since here in europe we get the exynos variant and the only way to get a snapdragon is to import, but i might need to change the firmware's region to get it to work properly. Do you know if this tutorial would still work for something like that?
@@Nicola-qx5lb Yes, it definitely should work for that exactly. With patched Odin you can switch to any region or carrier version of software with in the region. I have never tried with exynos variant though. May want to make sure firmware is the same.
@@1shaggy123 thank you for the reply.
I'm pretty ignorant on the subject as this is my first time looking into something like this, but how would you be able to make sure that the firmware can be changed? also would you recommend any tutorial on this topic? because although this video is pretty well done it doesn't really focus on this matter + it's over 3 years old and I'm not quite sure everything would still work the same
Hello. A question. Is it okay to flash a SLK region firmware to STH region device using thise method?
Has anyone from the United States done this successfully? I can't find a firmware from the US anywhere?! I used "Unknown" and phone is still stuck in bootloop and now saying "firmware info was not valid"
My brother.. You have helped and saved me A BUNCH of times and phones.. I will play this exact video atleast once a year to help me out with my problem.. I've already memorized the process.. but if I don't watch your video, I feel like I'm missing something..
BIG BIG BIGG THANKS for all this time!!
My phone is From KSA while I live in Egypt which code do i choose?
S23 Ultra user here. This video worked like a charm! No data lost using the HOME option and I got the last version and region change! THANK YOU!!!
Excellent tutorial, thanks!
I would add that if Odin doesn't recognize your phone - install the latest Samsung drivers, that will do the trick
Be Warned:
SAMmobile will be the most obnoxious site you will ever have to go through
You. NEVER. Lie
Great viewing mate. Cheers. Ive been down the same path as you. ...
For newbies.... important! - Do not flash exynos firmware onto a snapdragon chipset mobile.... bad things will happen! . 🍻👊👍
THANK YOU for posting this - over two years later it still applies and helped me get my AT&T heritage-but-moved-to-Verizon phone updated to Android 12!

How do third party carriers fit into these instructions? For instance, I have an unlocked phone that I believed was originally set up with Sprint. I want to use it with Total Wireless (which uses Verizon towers). Should I be getting the Verizon download (VZW) or the unbranded download (XAA/XAS)?
Wondering the same, how did you end up doing it?
I just want to say thank you! Telling us to download the patched version was a lifesaver!
same 2 months ago i flashed it with a normal one and it didnt work now im trying again
Didn't work
hey, i bought a samsung galaxy s21 Ultra 5G which isn't providing any security patches or system updates...i've recently discovered the build number is SM-G998U which seems to be USA/Verizon build which would explain why its not showing any new updates. So looks like this phones been flashed before i bought it (from backmarket) When trying to install a UK ROM under H3G it think it is for three network on Odin i get FAIL! Re-Partition failed. i am using the patched version of Odin due to different region. i've tried a different USB cable, a different UBS port, a different machine and a different UK Rom with no luck.
I'd aso like to add that in Dev options i am able to enable USB debugging but OEM unlock doesn't exist in my dev options list.
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks :)
*NOTE : it is not working, you can't download the firmware if you are not a premium user*
Hello, at the moment I am trying to find a suitable firmware to download.
Unfortunately, SamMobile has archived the firmware for my device, and is only available for premium users.
Throughout this whole day I have had difficulty in finding the firmware I need. As such, I am hoping if you, or anybody else, could help me locate the firmware for a Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
Model Number:
SM-N910G
And I believe the region code is
XSA (for Australia)
In the mean time, I will keep on searching - but it would be wonderful if anybody else could help me out!
Thank you R3DLIN3S for the very informative video :)
same
Well, I'm on day 3 of trying to flash mine. I've attempted to do the slow download a couple of times (different source as sammobile only offers the one I need for premium users) and lost network connection both times during download. Thought I could find another way around it but decided it was either wait or pay. Soooo.... I'm waiting again. Wish me luck.
Lol did it ever work?
also, its not a bad idea to go in to power settings (advanced) and suspend the USB port power off. Over time, windows may drop power to some USB ports which are not currently transmitting data, or if windows thinks the port is inactive.
Are you referring to the PC's settings?
thank you for the video i did everything you said but my firmware installation is stuck on initialization odin is stuck here:

Hii.
I just got a new samsung phone and I can't access some apps like; samsung pass, secure folder and samsung health. Anytime I try, it would show that my phone has been rooted. Will installing the stock firmware resolve this issue?
I've got a Samsung Galaxy s10 model SM-G973F and the firmware end in XEU/XEU,ITV/ITV , I've no idea which version of the firmware I should download! I literally never got an OTA update. Anybody know the answer?
@@jnkamas I brought it in a service centre as it was still in warranty and they change the entire logic card as they says the device wasn't accept any update, weird story
so something i noticed on that sammobile site, after you start a download at the slow sub 300kb/s rate, if you download additional firmwares they go through at 3-4mb/s LOL.
ive downloaded 2 others in the time the first got to 1gb and will have 3 done within the next hour while the original shows 8 hours left.
What is the equivalent to U1 but that we can use in Canada? Thanks.
Would like to know too. I have an at&t s10 in Canada.
@@RustyMonkey9 i believe your best bet is to get the Canadian n960w (with an unbranded carrier... for example XAC) firmware from sammobile. I successfully flashed an unbranded u1 (usa) software but still am not receiving ota updates here in Canada.. next time I do it ill flash that canadian one I just mentioned.
I would imagine NO bloatware as its unbranded in Canada...?
@@pimpedout1620 tons of bloatware on the at&t version of the S10. Plus never got an OTA, still on the oldest shit possible. But yea, I'll try flashing to the W version so hopefully I can get updates and security patches.
Thank you very much bro you're a life saver.
Thank you for this video. Will this work with a Z Fold2? Have a SM-F9160 (Bld Num F916ZSU1DUG7) but need to install F916BXXU1BTIA to update Settings app with SIM card manager menu in order to activate eSIM. Phone is from Taiwan but update is from Europe. Please advise if this is possible of if you have any Z Fold videos. Thank you and all the best.
