The reason why it is failing is because you are on a high boot loader, you current on V3 while the U1 firmware that you was trying to flash is on V2.. You can only flash firmware that's on the same boot loader.
You would need to download G965U1UEU3ARG7 and flash it in order to be on the U1 firmware...

Well crap do u know where i could get G965U1UEU3ARG7 firmware i google it but has nothing but pay sites
I don't believe the ARG7 for the U1 hasn't been released yet. I'm still on ARF4, I haven't gotten any updates for ARG7 yet.
But you can get the firmware using the link below when it becomes available. It's the same one I used.

To be honest it takes as long as it takes... Though for the U1 firmware it does appear to be the last one released after the carriers.
I would imagine that before they release a firmware that covers all the carriers they want to make sure it works for the individual carriers... But that's a theory/speculation I have.

He can't because he updated his phone to the latest sprint version which uses the v3 bootloader.
The current U1 firmware uses V2 bootloader.

First time I have ever heard of a Sprint Lease Lock.. Now I am curious over what that is, so off to google searching for it.
Think I found what your talking about... I am not sure if flashing the U1 firmware will work in this case given it's an S9+ and not an S8. Hopefully it does when the appropriate U1 firmware is released.
Depending on where you got the phones from maybe try doing a return and get a refund?

No biggie... Just for clarification (if it helps in the future) you can only flash files with the same bootloader version as what is currently installed. You can also flash bootloader versions that are higher then what is currently installed on the device.
What you can not do is flash bootloader versions lower then what is currently installed.
Finding the bootloader version is easy once you know how. Using the firmware version indicated:
G965USQU3ARG7
The bootloader version is the number before the last 4 characters of the firmware version... In this your looking for the number before ARG7... Since the number is 3 it means this firmware uses the version 3 bootloader.

Got it all flashed and back up and running... Just took a bit to restore everything and all my settings. Haven't seen anything amiss as of yet, sure I won't find out if there are any quirks until I let things settle for a day or two.
** Update 9/10 - So far so good, working like a charm. Even the wifi issue I had where it kept saying my internet might not be available (even though it was, and turning wifi off and back on would make it work) seems to be gone. Thanks for the link kevindevonwilliams

To carrier switch you would need to flash the U1 firmware, then insert the carrier of your choice [not Sprint] then set up device, after download the latest U firmware which is 3SARI4 and flash it.
Do not flash the USERDATA unless it is for the carrier you switching to

Just flashed AT&T PH1 on my replacement Verizon Note 7. All they changed was the battery. Device shipped with Verizon's PH1 firmware. Happy rooting!
EDIT:: DON'T UPDATE TO PHE OTA FIRMWARE OR ELSE YOU WILL LOSE ROOT CAPABILITY AND NOT BE ABLE TO DOWNGRADE TO PH1. ALL REPLACEMENT NOTE 7 ARE SHIPPED WITH PH1 (rootable) FIRMWARE STILL SO DON'T UPDATE.
I was not able to root ... tried 4 times.. was rooted with last Note 7. which method did you use? I get an error when flashing the Sprint firmware in odin.

its because along with the green battery, AT&T's update includes a new bootloader and checks that blocks Odin from downgrading the bootloader. in short, they patched the root method.

The ARF5 Isn't official, at least not yet. If you use apps like SamsungPay that rely on safety net, you're best off not to use that version, at least until or if it becomes official.

Also, in the OP you could help clarify what the other guy was talking about by stating that this firmware is US Xfinty which is a Verizon MVNO. I think thats what the other guy may have meant.

The reason I say it *was* misleading is because the title made it seem like there was a U1 version of the 2ARF2 release. While I'm not in that boat, there are people looking to swap carriers, which requires flashing to the U1 to remove carrier settings, before then flashing to a new carrier.

Do you have a link to it here? I'm on the T-Mobile firmware but want to flash it to Verizon, and need to flash it to the U1 unlocked firmware first.
I ordered an unlocked model, G965U1 from eBay, but the seller sent me a G965U Verizon. At least that's the firmware that it has on it. I'm familiar with Odin and everything, so I'm wondering if I should keep it and just flash it over to what I want. Is this a viable option, I already had to send back a OnePlus 6T back to OnePlus, so I'm getting kind of tired of sending phones back.
Will the phone be just as good as what I ordered if I flash a different firmware on it, radio band-wise and such?The phone says I do not have a Verizon sim in it but I seem to be getting service from my T-Mobile sim.... Is this because all Verizon phones come unlocked? Sorry I'm just so confused with a different models and different bootloaders and different firmwares, so any advice would be appreciated!
Issue resolved, big thanks to user @jcsww!

What firmware does the phone have, from what US carrier? I I think the only thing you can try is flashing different firmwares to see if it will work. Maybe try converting it to a U S. factory unlocked G965U1, then the phone will reboot to configure the settings and features according to your sim card. No guarantee with this kind of thing tho.

You could try switching to the firmware for unlocked model G965U1, latest is 3ARJ6. No guarantee that it will make volte work though, that kind of thing is definitely hit and miss, and your phone is ideally suited for American carriers. But that's what I would try. You might also want to call up your service provider and see if they can do anything.

I flashed my Verizon G965U to G965U1. I used the patched Odin and used the CSC from the U1 firmware... My phone flashed and wiped, and then it booted up and detected my SIM card, then it rebooted again to configure all the settings based on my SIM card. After I did that I was getting the U1 updates directly to the phone.

You could try flashing the unlocked version of the firmware, but that only changes the boot animation to a different one. With my sprint phone it went to the stock Samsung one after flashing the firmware for the G965U1
Otherwise no way I know of to customize it. Things like that require root access which we don't have.

Just keep in mind flashing the G965U1 firmware may cause certain sprint features to not work.
The G965U1 is from the non carrier branded phone so it is the most generically compatible firmware. Any carrier specific additions added to the firmware by the carrier wouldn't be present.
Like for example the tmobile firmware has the video calling built into the dialer. With the g965U1 firmware it is not present.

It's there.
If your using Samfirm app to download the firmware you search for the model SM-G965U1 and then XAA for the region.
Using sammobile you search for the model SM-G965U1 and then at the drop down menu select "(Unknown) XAA" from the available options.

The only thing I can see causing the issue is the bootloader version. You can only flash firmware with the same bootloader version or higher then what is currently installed on your phone.
To locate the bootloader version look at your baseband version. Start at the very right hand side count left 5 characters inwards. The number that is present would be the bootloader version.
Using the example below the bootloader version would be number 5

I have a SM-G965U1 S9+ unlocked phone purchased from Samsung. I recently downloaded an OTA update. I lost the ability to use the hotspot feature. It has always worked in the past. I downloaded Odin and the last version of the firmware that had full capability to use the hotspot feature. I tried installing and it failed.
Is there a way for me to rollback the latest update?

Depending on your binary ( Bootloader ) version you can download firmware and flash with odin.

you haven't mention what firmware name you are flashing and errors with odin.
XAA doesn't tell me much
see this link for bit ( bootloader ) version and how to tell what version you are on.
Help with OTA update
Is there a way to downgrade OTA update from Samsung. I forgot to turn off auto update, now I have the new update firmware. If anyone know , please point the way. Thanks

My bootloader says RP SWREV: B9(2,2,2,9,2) K9 S9
I tried to flash Android 10 G965U1UEU7DTA5 and Android 9 G965U1UES7CSK2. I downloaded them from sammobile. I entered my model number G-965U1 and since I have an unlocked phone that already had the CSC code XAA for USA I chose the list of XAA firmware. I tried the closest date to when I got the phone and one other. Sorry if I don't know exactly what I am talking about. Looking at the versions I downloaded they look to be for bootloader version 7 not 9 is that right?

Your are on bit ( bootloader ) ver 9 you are trying flash firmware with ver 7. You can not downgrade firmware. You need to find ver 9 or higher ( 5th number/letter from right of firmware file name ) to be able to flash.
You could try a pc app called frija to download latest version. You have to search here on xda as i can't post links at the monemt.

Well I was able to flash the new firmware. However my hotspot still does not work. Is there anything else I can try? I have another phone same model and its hotspot works fine but that one did not get the most recent OTA update.

Sorry my mistake. I forgot about your hotspot issue. Frija download latest firmware only.
If your on G965u1eu9fue4 ( problaby updated to G965u1es9fug2 ) the early version before your update is G965u1es9fud1.
Try downloading this and see if it works. You should be able to flash anything with a bit 9 firmware ( 5th number from right of firmware name )
