Remove AT&T Software from G965U1 - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

I have an unlocked US S9 Plus that I installed the AT&T ARC6 on. After doing this it now has the AT&T splash screen and the AT&T bloatware. Is there a way to reflash this phone and not have the AT&T stuff installed? Thanks!

Luckily I know about this stuff. Sadly the arc6 update for attending has bootloader v2 and I don't think the unlocked firmware has that yet. But look up g960u arc6

Does anyone know if you can flash the AT&T System Files on to the T-Mo version?

If you mean the ATT rom then no you can't. You can convert it so it looks like the AT&T version by flashing the boot screen and ATT apps. You can also change your build prop so that it even reports the ATT model to the play store. You can easily download the ATT apps this way.

Oh ok, how would I do that? Do you have a link that I can view with directions and links to the stuff I will need? Also, would it get Marshmellow when released?
Thanks in Advance
Look here. You will need to get the values from an ATT V10.
On your rooted Tmobile V10 you will not get automatic updates. You will need to get marshmallow from the dev section which is better anyway.

Has anyone been able to get WiFi calling or VOLTE to work on the U firmware? I haven't been on it in a while.
Edit: not sure why i quoted you for this question. Lol sorry.
I have been trying to get it working as well. I wish that att would support wifi calling like T-Mobile does I only get 1-2 bars and sometimes no signal when I'm at a certain spot in my workplace and when I had the original att software on my phone I loved wifi calling, I don't particularly miss VOLTE though
Thank you so much for doing this. I was using the wrong Odin to flash.
Quick question on this. Now that I am running the U firmware, will I get OTA updates? I'm using a Cricket sim card.
I hated the AT&T firmware so much. I'm so much happier with this.

Need to flash T-Mobile firmware in order for at least wifi calling to work.
after flashing this firmware.. I noticed a huge gain in performance.
and mobile hotspot works, I run cricket unlimited, and will come in handy.
I like the clean appearance and the smooth responsiveness, I used the AT&T firmware and I used PDP to disable a ****load of bloat, but nothing like this smooth.
not to mention I'm getting updates, which I'm more happy about.
this is really nice to have.
Had anyone tried this and used on rogers?
loganbeck14 said:
To begin make sure you have samsung usb drivers installed. Now make sure you use Princecomsys modified odin, next download the latest U Firmware from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634768085 or here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767159704. Next put your phone in download mode and open odin make sure all firmware files are in the right spot and click start wait until your phone boots into recovery mode and restarts, after that to clean up old temp files factory reset in recovery when your phone boots to the welcome screen, after that you are finished. THIS is For att and tmobile phones only unless your verizon phone is using one of the two carriers sprint won't work due to proprietary activation processes. Thanks to Princecomsy and muniz for providing odin and the firmware files for this version

As long as you had att unlock the phone you are fine
I bought it "factory unlocked" so I'm not sure who did it. What would happen if att didn't unlock it?
Please help me understand
I see some forums on this site that says, " G930UUEU2APEH flashes to g930a" then you have this post that says G930U firmware on SM-G930A. It seems as if one is saying to take the G930U and go to G930A and the other saying G930A and go to G930U. I thought the advantage is to go to the U and get off the A. Please confirm if this is the case. Granted then if this is the case... then, what are the advantages of going to the U? From what I understand it gets rid of the bloatware, and makes it so you can tether?
Also once I go, are there any negative reasons for me not to go from A to U?
Does this give me the current version of Nougat?
Do I get the upgrades from AT&T to keep up with future version of Nougat?
Also before proceeding to the U version MUST I first ROOT my phone?
Also MUST my phone be UNLOCKED?
Thanks in advance,

Yes to both

None, unless you like the ATT bloat.

Gives you the latest version of the U firmware
Do I get the upgrades from AT&T to keep up with future version of Nougat?
No, you will get the U OTAs from now on.
Also before proceeding to the U version MUST I first ROOT my phone?
Root is not required
Also MUST my phone be UNLOCKED?
Not required

Looking for v6 bootloader firmware for 965U (at&t)

Anybody have stock at&t firmware for s9+ ? At&t appear to have released it OTA to their phones :
https://www.att.com/devicehowto/tut...89?make=Samsung&model=SamsungG965U&gsi=zzc41v
Also need userdata, apparently. I'm new to flashing stock stuff.
I'm going to ask the same question, as I just noticed this release. I'm using an AT&T branded (and locked) S9+ on Cricket, and apparently, I will not be receiving OTA updates... When the files are available, I hope someone posts here. Thanks!
why dont y'all just flash this and be done with it?

Thanks for your suggestion. However, that isn't the official build from AT&T. The Build Number I'm looking for is G965USQS6CSH5.

P.S. My phone isn't unlocked... Also, non-member (free) download is not available.

Question Are all SM-S918B/DE rootable?

Hi,
Im currently in United States, but Im european.
I would like to buy, and then root S23U.
Ive seen offers for "International SM-S918B/DS"
I know that SM-S918U (USA) and Canada variants have bootloader locked and therefore cant be rooted with magisk.
If i buy SM918B/DS on Amazon, will it come with unlocked/unlockable bootloader?

Well, I looked for serial number, term "international" and B/DS. Didnt find shiet. I wouldnt think to look inside a tread about US model.

You can root even if you don't have that. His question was rather if his bootloader can be unlocked, not if he can root the device.
