So I just bought a used Galaxy s10 Plus on eBay. I was getting amazing battery life and great SOT but I was forced to download Android 11 by force update and now my SOT has gone down almost 2.5 hours from when it was previously running on Android 10. I despise having to deal with these issues even though its a used phone. On the SamMobile website I found the correct PDA G975U1UES5GUD1 but I can't find the CSC code on my phone and I am afraid I will flash the wrong firmware and damage the phone.
How can I Find the CSC code on my phone? The device is been used on Verizon prepaid via Red Pocket Mobile and its Factory GSM and CDMA unlocked. I would really appreciate any help I can get with this.
Thank you so much in advance.
Hello there, you are talking about the consumer software customization code right?

I believe that is what is called. I am looking for this (Circled in Red) I am new to all the terminology but I have flashed my Old Galaxy s7 several years ago via Odin and Windows and had no issues. Thank you

If you are you can find it by dialing *#1234# on the dial app. But i think it is VZW since you've said the carrier is Verizon.

I saw that before online but it didn't work. I just want to be sure I download the correct Firmware from the Sam Mobile website
Can you screenshot the service provider sw ver in about phone

Seems like this is it since your carrier is Verizon. You are residing in the US, right?

You won't damage your phone if they mismatch, probably only carrier settings would break
But the link I gave according to that you are having Verizon as the carrier and you are living in the US when you got force OTA update then it’ll match.
That's if you can go back.
Doesn't 11 update the boot loader version too?
Well yeah now that you mention it probably.
Hmm, but there should be a way of degrading the software even so.

If he uses Odin he can downgrade fine enough,
Unfortunately, I think he'll lose his data though.
I haven't downgraded from One UI 3.0 before since I only got a A21s.

I'm still running Pie. It's what I've been seeing here about the 11 update updating the boot loader too. Maybe that's OTA upgrades only.
Not a concern of mine though.
Data loss is a given... at least be prepared for it.
Yeah, I agree since I'm still running 10 Idk really about bootloader changes from 10-11.
But if that's the case then Its probably impossible to downgrade without getting a bricked phone.
Doublecheck the bootloader version code of both versions of android so you don't brick your phone.
This is starting to sound too risky I do appreciate everyones help on this post honestly but at this point I am not going to risk messing up a $330 phone. But thank you all for making things clear.

Yeah hopefully thank you for your help tho. Appreciate it.
No problem, but if the kernel hasn't changed the ROM can be downgraded. If it has you can just take it to Samsung and ask them to downgrade for you.
My friend did that.

God dammit.
I talked to two VZW reps. Neither was able to offer much support. The second actually said that Motorola would be able to help me get the image, and told me to call them.
Called Motorola, and the first rep told me to ask on the Motorola support forums for help. Yes, that's right., they wanted me to ask for the recovery image ON A USER-SUPPORTED FORUM. Genius. The second tech said that my only option was to go do a Factory Reset or go back to 4.4.4, neither of which is acceptable to me. "Well, you can contact Verizon for help."
So now I have a flagship device, bricked by the OTA, and nobody knows how to fix it. Screw you, VZW/Motorola. If you provide updates, you should have recovery firmware images available IMMEDIATELY!

Yeah, I just don't know that I can go 3-10 days without my phone. I'm not sure that I'm capable. I'm not willing to reset my device, though.
You know what? We have a few spare devices lying around here at work. Maybe I'll steal one for a few days
my phne is bricked as well after the ota. although I just did a factory reset a couple days ago so I'd be fine with resetting my device or going back to kitkat... but how would I go about doing that? Ive tried flashing the kitkat firmware and such but i cant seem to figure it out... any help would be appreciated while I wait for vzw to release the new images

I put it back up.
I was recently thinking to myself to flash Samsung's international firmware on my G935V. The phone's battery is terrible even in airplane mode and I think going to a non bloated ROM would be generally better. I did once have the international firmware but my phones screen started going weird and I flashed it back to the original. Of course it turned out to be a hardware issue and I got it replaced under warranty. Because this happened a day after I flashed the international firmware, I'm scared something similar might happen again. Do any of you guys run the international firmware on a daily basis on your Verizon edges? I was just wondering if it will be practical at all. Also for the one day I had the international firmware, the battery was definitely better without Verizon's crap on it. What do you guys think?
Been on the u firmware for a long time and I love it. However... If you're on Verizons most recent ota your bootloader is version 4 and you won't be able to flash the u firmware with out rooting it.

So what would happen if I tried flashing it through Odin like the old way?
Being on the U firmware the first time was great, but over time it's degraded for new. I'm only getting up to 2 hours of SOT by 50%, as opposed to 3. Not rooted either.
I'm thinking of going to do the PG5 Verizon firmware to see how things are.
Unfortunately it won't flash. The new bootloader will block what would potentionally be an older revision or a downgrade. Currently the u firmware bootloader is Rev. 2. Verizon managed to jump to Rev. 4 with its last update potentially screwing all stock users out of using a stock unlocked debloated firmware with free tethering.

Post a pic of your build version.
Excellent news. As of today the u firmware dropped an update which is on bootloader Rev 4. This is good for you guys wanting to switch and people on t mobile.

I just flashed the new 935U version this morning to my verizon variant. I was getting sub-par battery life on the verizon software so I am going to try this out for a bit. Keeping it unrooted the only thing I can't install is verizon visual voicemail. I have voLTE working but there is no option for wifi or video calling as with the verizon version. Seems to be much faster overall though.
Been using U firmware since June and no issues. Have already gone through 2 updates on U without problems.

How do you know if the VoLTE is working? I installed the latest 935U firmware and i never saw the VoLTE option. I saw it only when i flashed the "Samsung_G935x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR" via ODIN when i was trying to root. I also want to keep the latest 935U firmware and as far as possible avoid root.
I have the toggle in settings and confirmed it by placing a call.

Any word on a potential release date for nougat? Extremely dissatisfied with Samsungs lack of support with the U variants. Makes me want to avoid Samsung products here on out.
It makes me think that they're waiting to synchronize the S8 and S7u software releases... So perhaps the S7u will get all the S8 features before the carrier versions?
I know the SM-G930VL got Nougat today. No Wi-Fi calling or video call but it did finally get it. It's the Straight Talk unlocked version.
That's pretty pitiful when prepaid carriers get it before unlocked owners...
It's pretty stupid that an UNLOCKED version doesn't have the latest software, so dumb of Samsung to do that.
Also None of the Verizon versions of S7 has the updated firmware too, so far only T-Mobile in the US has 7.0
May be AT&T does too

All the major carriers have it. Verizon just got it about a week ago.
I bought this thinking 7.0 was on it, and quite disappointed that it's not, and it's not even available.
You can Odin another carriers nougat on the U. I'm using Verizon's until it does cone out.
Do I need to root my phone to do that? or I can just ODIN it?
Any instructions or videos on it, really don't want to root the phone as it decrease the value

No you don't have to root. It's just a simple Odin procedure.

what? no, just scroll down (bottom of first post) to where it says "return to stock" and follow the instructions there. you don't have to be rooted to install another official samsung rom. and also fwiw even if you do end up rooting you can always reinstall stock rom without tripping knox (as implied in the tutorial).

Just like he said but when you download the Verizon firmware, make sure you use CSC and not the HOME CSC when you flash. Home will keep your data but I'm not sure how it'll react coming from a different carrier.

Yup.
Check out my speeds. I get like 45 50 mbps down on sprint and 120-150 on tmobile crazy
alright. so i want to say i went this route as well. i have 3 months left on my sprint contract.that being said, i have the files he used during the unlocking process. the problem is there is another thing he did to actually unlock it. he used something called flexihub while it was in the combination firmware to actually do something on his machine that i couldnt see. this is something he did on the modem level, but i confirmed with him that it doesnt matter if i flash another firmware using odin, my sim will still be unlocked. i have tried this with verizon sim and it works. again, my contract is not up with sprint yet, which means my device shouldnt be unlocked, but this somehow works. if anyone else wants this, here is the ebay seller link that i got mine done within an hour. keep in mind that you have to back up your device, because what he does is flash firmware. also he will need access to your computer to work remotely, but he never strayed from what he was doing. for 7 bucks, this is a steal.

There's not going to be root for the 997 because of sprint locking it down and incrementing arb. The phone is well over two years old so the majority of devs moved on to other platforms long ago and none of the few remaining devs are working on root.

Yeah I understand, but there's lot of people here with the same phone and I'm sure there's a way, maybe with LGUP and UPPERCUT going down to a lower release or using another KDZ from another model very close to it, I'm sure there's something to do instead of trowing it in a garbage can. There a dev here loves challenges and some of them are working on older phone...

You can't downgrade to root because as I stated arb was incremented if you do you'll blow a fuse and be bricked. Also no one is working on root, it's been discussed numerous times on this forum

I don't know what ARB is and when I try the hidden menu, the only thing I got is 4 useless options. If it's not a hardware problem, I'm sure there's one hope somewhere?? If it's hardware, the only way is to put on gargabe can... What Sprint did to brick this phone like this!???
Quick question about the same phone. This phone came from an estate sell, so I did a factory reset. The reset version is Android 8 Security patch July 1 2018. I'm not using it as a phone (no SIM card), but just for Android Auto as media player/GPS.
From what I'm reading, it can't be rooted?
Can the bootloader be unlocked/changed using dirty santa so I can install TWRP, then Lineage 17.1?
There is so much conflicting info on this V20 version.

No, that version of the phone is completely locked down. The only thing you can do on it is factory reset and absolutely nothing else, not even flashing firmware (because that will permanently brick it). If you really want more details on why, you can check my write-up over here (look at most of the bold parts).

Thanks,that is what I feared.
I bought a 2020 Tacoma. The stereo sucks. If you use a USB drive with with thousands of audio files as the source, when you select artist from the menu, it will start at "A" and start playing. Takes forever to find the artist/song . And Toyota decided to pull GPS. You have to download Entune to the stereo, which seems to be incompatible with the 2020. They just threw their hands up and figured everyone will want to use their phone (I don't).
So I bought this phone for $20 so I can leave it the truck at all times to run VLC and Google Maps. Looks like Sprint and Toyota bent us over again.
