You won't see the OEM toggle on the "U" varient as the bootloader can't be unlocked. You do not need this to just flash official filmware anyway.
Factory resetting the phone may fix the OTA update issue you are facing, this will wipe the phone so back up everything important. If not head to SamMobile or Updato.com to download the latest filmware and flash it with Odin.

Hello
I flashed the latest firmware available for my S6 edge (SM-G925F) : G925FXXU3DPDP (XEF).
I've never used Android 5.1.1 on my phone and I asks to you if downgrade is possible at this point (latest BL I think) and if yes, how ?
Thanks you for your further replies
Bye.
I Think Once u Flashed The latest Firmware U can't Go back
Because Of bootloader
Bt U can try Download Android LP And boot loader And put Ur phone in Download Mode Flash with odin
i updated on 6.02...
didn´t like it...
flashed back to 5.1.1 stock without problems (odin)
Hello poci,
You were running with which firmware ?
It's easy to go back to lollipop?
I'm reading some comments off people wich say No, ando some less who say Yes.
i made an OTA update from 5.1.1 to 6.0.2... but i didn´t like the battery drain on 6.0.2......(or 6.0.1 i don´t know anymore)
after clean install of 6.0.2....there was no change at all...
then i went back to 5.1.1 by flashing a stock 5.1.1. firmware with odin...no trouble or anything else...
If flash fails, is my device will be hardbricked ???
if you have the right firmware...i would say "no"
so why should it fail?
i used this firmware for my o2 edge
G925FXXU3QOLD_G925FTEF3QOL1_G925FXXU3QOJB_HOME.tar
Beceause newest bootloaders blocks downgrade, you was in which firmware on Marshmallow ?
don´t know exactly...60.1 then
when 6.0.2 blocks downgrade...

The reason it says your on the latest firmware is because you are rooted. At&t firmware is hard to come by as they lock the bootloader and device down. If you are not bothered about root flash stock firmware and you can uodate OTA.
I have the same problem except that my phone is not rooted, im on stock AT&T Android 5, but it still says i have the latest firmware.
Someone told me that it has to be connected to AT&T cell towers to find the update but even that didn't work for me.

I will give it a shot but first i need to find the stock firmware because its hard to find for my device specifications, and i will let you know if it worked for me
Edit: flashing the stock firmware locks phone to only at&t network since i use different network i will not try to update it
I apologize if this is a stupid question since there are several threads about flashing different firmware.. Having not had a Samsung phone since S7 Edge, the process seems to have changed a bit. I bought a Verizon S9+ from a family member for cheap and I'm currently a subscriber on T-mobile. I'd like to flash over to the T-mobile firmware.
Current Baseband is G965USQU1ARB6
I believe this means that I'm on the v1 bootloader.
My understanding is I need to flash to the U1/unlocked firmware without a SIM and then flash to the T-mobile firmware after that. Correct?
Any rationale to picking a specific firmware since it appears there have been several updates since my current one? I assume once I get T-mobile on there I would get OTA updates via T-mobile from then on, correct?
Also, when I switch to T-mobile will I be able to get on the 600 Mhz Band 71 for T-mobile's LTE or are the radios actually different in the different carrier versions of the phone?
Thanks in advance for any help, and I'm sorry again if this is a stupid question - just having a hard time with the changes in firmware flashing that occurred after S8 came out apparently ://
The radios are identical between all U and U1 models, but the firmware isn't. You will find a Verizon phone won't work on TMB without flashing for several reasons (wrong APN which isn't editable, for one).
The latest U1 build is ARF4. That's also available as a U build for TMB. Flash to the U1 then to U. Use normal CSC so it will factory reset both times. You'll be golden.
If you want to be able to switch again, I recommend you block any updates TMB pushes once you're back on U, as newer U builds update the bootloader and you won't be able to flash back to U1 until it gets updated.
Good luck.

Thanks for the reply! I flashed the U1 firmware and used normal CSC to factory reset. Then I flashed the TMB one. When I boot up it still says Verizon and the software version says VZW/VZW/VZW still. Should I have inserted the TMB sim prior to the second flash? Did I hose myself now that I've flashed the latest version and its still VZW? Thanks

If you took TMBs newest OTA, you're screwed. You'll have to wait for an updated U1 build. No one knows when that may arrive.
Hello
I have a s9+ with G965USQS6CSH5 build number and i cant find a android 10 file to flash with this exact build number. Can i flash the android 10 firmware of another G965U model ? I dont mind losing some features as long as they are not crucial.

Sorry for the question , I'm from Mexico and I just bought a SM965 U from Verizon, the issue is that I would like to change the firmware to have a unbranded Samsung one with Android 10. Also I noticed Verizon phones don't allow to use test mode , so do you think if I flash SM - G965 U1 FIRM I will get those changes ? Or is it possible to brick the phone or loose essential features

Hi. I have a Galaxy s21 from EE with EVR firmware (EE firmware) and I’ve tried flashing BTU and other UK networks firmware on it using Odin but that doesn’t work. Every time Odin says it’s passed, it hasn’t changed the firmware at all and I’m still stuck on EVR. I’ve tried SamKEY but it’s saying it doesn’t support my firmware (G991BXXU3AUGM) so I’m not sure what to do.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I have a US S21 but am also in the same boat, and sadly I think the only way at current is to wait for SamKey or to downgrade to a firmware that'll support SamKey.
I've tried ODIN flashing my US TMB S21 to try and get it working on AT&T fully many times over, but the CSC is locked up tight and SamKey was the only way to get it done for me. (Sadly, my CSC reverted when I stuck another TMB SIM into the phone and it locked the CSCs again so I have to pay for SamKey a second time if I want my AT&T SIM to work fully again. Yaaaaay.)
Samsung really needs to hurry it up with the auto-config firmware for the S21s.
I haven’t got a clue on how to downgrade it, any idea how?

(Sorry for the delay, yesterday got busy.)
For downgrading you'd just need ODIN and the desired firmware to downgrade to, just making sure the binary version matches (in this case, the binary version is the first number of the last 5 characters of the software version. So in the case of G991BXXU3AUGM, you'd be looking at "3AUGM" and in that case, your binary version is 3. So you can flash any firmware that's 3XXXX). At least that's how it is on Snapdragon models.
If you've no idea how to work ODIN it might be worth it to just wait. Plus, downgrading would incur a factory wipe (and restore with Smart Switch, which doesn't necessarily restore all settings and such.)

Thank you so much for your help! I managed to flash BTU firmware by downgrading then using SamKEY. Much appreciated!

HK is very likely Exynos, so no. You can generally flash software from other variants so long as the CPU matches (most of NA uses Snapdragon, for example. You can't flash Exynos firmware onto a Snapdragon S21.)
