How to Flash Sprint S9+ to TMobile Software/Firmware - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do this. I bought an unlocked Sprint S9+. However, I know it could perform better and I also want to get wifi calling and texting working. Consequently, I would like to get the tmobile software flashed to it.
Can someone help me find the right thread for a step by step guide on how to do this? Or give me the details if there isn't one. Thanks in advance.
Finally, can someone explain what the U and U1 firmware are?

Reverting ATT Fuze back to stock for return... need some help...

Hello, I just flashed my Fuze with natf rom (which worked excellent), and now I need to return the phone back to att by mail (touch wheel doesn't work, keyboard freezes). I understand I first flash stock att rom to the phone and then put the stock spl back on it, is this correct? These are the roms I found: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Raphael_WM6.1_ROMs
My questions are: The stock att roms on wiki all look like they are for the UK, and I purchased mine in the United States, are these the correct versions I should load? Also, which one do I need to load onto my phone (there's four). And where do i find the spl I need?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
(I scoured the forums, though I'm not all that sure I knew exactly what I was looking for... I'm certain this has been asked before, though I could not find a step by step guide with my specific questions answered, I sincerely apologize for asking again, but I'm at a loss...)

Visit blownfuze.org and scroll down to reverting back to AT&T for warranty. He has everything you need to download and instructions right there. Make sure to say thanks
I've never returned a phone to stock OS before returning. Do you think AT&T has the time or the know-how to actually check each phone for custom builds?
I just tell them the phone's display freaks out like there is a cable loose inside or something... or a key on the keyboard doesn't work.
As long as you tell them there is a hardware error, they have no choice but to return it.

Can I SIM Unlock an HTC One Max 4.4.2 from Sprint to work in Europe?

General help with ROMs and Networks
Dear Members of the Forum!
This is my first post here, and I would like to ask for your help. I have an HTC One Max Sprint edition, and have some questions regarding ROMs, and network types. I would like to take this phone with me to Europe, and use it there. What are the required steps to do so?
I have read that there is a command and a tool to sim unlock these devices, however, my Android version is 4.4.2 with software version 3.02.651.8, and the utility is no longer present. I tried finding a RUU for the JB43 image, but was out of luck. But honestly, my main problem is that I am confused. What makes this phone stick to Sprint? Can I use this with a SIM card on a 2G/3G/4G network? Can I flash an international image on the device, and if so, will it unlock my device to be used with a European SIM?
I know I ask a lot of you, but can you please try to help me?
Also, if anything is out of order here with my post, please tell me, so I can be a better part of the community.
Thank you in advance

How can I get the T-Mobile firmware on my AT&T S9+ Model?

HI, I switched carriers yesterday and my S9+ still appears to be on AT&T software. Is there a guide somewhere that shows you in detail how to get the T-Mobile software on it? I'm not very knowledgeable in flashing, but have seen around the site that ODIN is a solution? Thanks
edit: I know i need to get from U to U1 back to U i'm just not sure how

Question AT&T Base Firmware needed for A526U

Hello, looking for some help to see if anyone can help me find the firmware of my A526U specifically for AT&T? I have moved my phone over from TMobile where I purchased it from, and am looking to re-flash it to AT&T. Was working fine for a few months, now I'm no longer able to make or receive calls.
After inserting the new AT&T SIM card, the TMobile splash screen still shows up. The Service Provider software version reflects TMobile still as well and I'm concerned that for whatever reason the phone did not fully update after inserting the new SIM. I spent 2 hours on the phone with AT&T support after the store said they couldn't help me. Pulled the SIM card out, restarted phone, put it back in, reset network settings etc. I've searched sammobile and I cannot find the AT&T firmware, only TMobile, Sprint, and TMK. I would sincerely be greateful please if anyone could help me by pointing me in the right direction for the firmware for this model phone.
AT&T doesn't make their firmware available publicly - for any device. I have a source who can get me Samsung firmware for any USA device - even AT&T. But he charges me for each one
I appreciate the quick response! Is there any option I have here? Could I try flashing a "U1" firmware to his phone then? He's currently on A526USQS4CVA6. I actually found your other post as I was also working on my note 10 plus - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/n975u-and-n975u1-firmware-links-here.3957648/. If I'm reading that correctly, I should be able to correct? If so, how can I tell if the version I'm downloading is "downgrading the bootloader"

1. Yes, you can try flashing U1 if you want
2. You can't "downgrade the bootloader" - Odin won't let you.
3. In A526USQS4CVA6, "4" is the position of the bootloader level/revision/binary. Make sure that whatever U1 firmware you download also has a 4 in that spot and you'll be fine. (Or just get the firmware from Frija or one of the other similar firmware download tools, because those throw you whatever the newest version is automatically)

Thank you very much sir! I shall give this a go this weekend! You guys rock!
My AT&T N10+ N975U is running on Pie. It transitioned seamlessly with no changes made on my end. It was already using 4G VoLTE though. Same sim card.
I would contact AT&T advanced tech support as there may be an easier way.
4G VoLTE needs to be enabled in hidden settings.

Your AT&T phone? So it's originally an AT&T model that you're still using with them? That's not the same situation that the OP is in

The U is the AT&T variant vs the U1 which is the unlocked variant, correct?

Yup. But OP has a T-Mobile model that they moved to AT&T. There's also no guarantee that a Note 10+ will work the exact same way as an A52. You're also running 3 year old firmware, while OP is fully updated.
So i don't see the correlation.

The old firmware works fine on 4G VoLTE... that's likely not the issue. What is the issue is it wasn't running on 4G VoLTE so it's likely the settings and sim card need updating not the firmware.
Hi All, thought I would provide an update... After spending hours on the phone with AT&T support this week and being frustrated with the AT&T store, I decided to proceed forward with flashing the U1 version. What started this all was last week my son could no longer make or receive calls on his AT&T A52 phone (we ported it from TMobile September 2021). The store and AT&T advanced tech support said there were issues with people's BYOD devices, even though the A526U and A526U1 shows on the supported devices list. The store rep said he's been getting people in left and right that can't make or receive calls, and all they can do is upsell customers to an AT&T branded phone.
SO... my son's phone was on A526USQS4CVA6. Startup screen showed TMobile still, even with the AT&T SIM card in it. I proceed to flash the A526U1OYM4CVB2_ATT that I found from Sammobile. Was hoping someone had just the "U" version but I couldn't find this anywhere. When doing the flash, I used the Home_CSC file (I had to download a patched version of ODIN as it was stuck as setting up connection) and when it finished it would just keep going back to the download screen on the phone and I freaked out. I did some more research and decided to flash again using CSC instead of Home.CSC (I did a backup using smart switch on my PC luckily). This WORKED! I'm guessing because the software version he was on was different than what I was trying to flash too so maybe this is why I needed the CSC for a clean flash (there was no user data file that downloaded from SAMMOBILE).
Now, calls are working on my son's phone again! AND his service provider software version now reflects ATT vs TMB! Man this has been one heck of a journey lol. I've seen numerous forums on google of people having the same trouble with me, their BYOD devices not working. Seems a flash of U1 worked for me, so hopefully this helps others out there!
