Thanks!

Ok i'm downloading CSC XAA to my computer (Window 10 64bit) now, thanks. So I'm reading up about the next steps with Odin etc. What is the best place for an accurate completestep by step guide? Like I said first time ever for me with this. You mind if I pick your brain if I get stuck on...

Awesome thanks for the clarity! I was not fully understanding that SM-G981U1 was the unlocked I should be using in Frija vs mine : SM-G981U. I agree completely I want to be using CSC XAA and I see that available now to me.

Ok thanks. So with Frija (fully updated) and SM-G981U (S20 5G 128GB) selected as my model, I can download this CSC: -TMB These CSC say - error: CSC not found -XAA -VZW This CSC says - error:CSC not supported -ATT (even though my phone is branded ATT and has ATT apps loaded?) So my only...

Found this list elsewhere: Samsung United States CSC Codes: ATT: AT&T USA. LRA: Bluegrass Cellular. BST: Boost Mobile. CCT: Xfinity Mobile (Comcast). XAR: Cellular South US. AIO: Cricket Wireless. GCF: Global Certification Forum. TMK: MetroPCS USA. ACG: Nextech / C-Spire. CHA: Spectrum Mobile...

So checking CSC options These are listed as not available for this model on Frija: -ATT -GFC -XAA -XAS TMB is the only firmware option that I can find as available. What is this magical CSC for this = "or can go to the Samsung stock unlock firmware without any carrier bloat and don't ever...

ps I do travel at times to other countries and I have SIMs from those. I had an unlocked S7 that I used those with. Will that have any effect? Is is the CSC chosen just come with extra carrier software or not (if it's base Samsung)...but the unlock SIM part works anywhere in the world?

Thanks for the road map! Since I'm brand new to this with phones, I've been reading up on technastic.com all the pieces to this and how it all works. I understand that Frija is step #1 to getting the new phone software (firmware) and Odin is step #2 to flash that. I have Frija updated and...

ps I'm using Ting (T-Mobile) as my carrier vs ATT if that matters?

I recently bought 2 unlocked phones from an online reseller. They looked brand new. There is alot of AT&T software on these so an AT&T unit's I would assume. It refuses to update ever and when I check the baseband version that refers to US Cellular or Verizion? What should I do, if anything to...

What about Colorado tax? Google says tax in select cities but does not say which cities? I have a boxed unused black 16gb that i'm thinking of selling and buying a red one instead. Since i'm too new here to sell, i'll check out ebay & maybe buy one their too.
