    Samsung Galaxy S9+ firmware update help

    ok gotcha, i will try the SM-G965U1 version. I am not sure where on the xda forum to find the Odin tool. I've tried searching and found threads from 2013 and 2018 saying the latest version is a patched Odin 3.13.1, which is obviously older than a 3.14.4 that i found elsewhere. Any tips? Just...

    Samsung Galaxy S9+ firmware update help

    In download mode i don't believe the firmware edition is displayed- mine indicates RPMB fuse blown, RPMB PROVISIONED, current binary, FRP Lock, KG Status, Qualcomm secure boot status, RP SWREV, Secure download, and a DID#. On the "About Phone" page, the current firmware is UI version 2.5...
