As for the CSC use XAA and put your IMEI number

Did that and this is what it is downloading

 

[mustang7757]

Ok perfect

 

[mustang7757]

Once downloaded extract the firmware with something like 7zip

Same with Odin extract

I have a S22 Ultra that I purchaed from Best Buy. I ordered the Factory Unlocked version back in Dec 2022 but didnt realize until a month ago that it was actually a AT&T network unlocked phone. The Distribution Center sent me the factory unlocked box but put the wrong phone in the box. I went back to Best Buy and showed them...The IMEI on the box was for that unlocked phone but the IMEI on my phone says AT&T. They wouldnt swap me out because they said it was too long since I bought it so the buttholes did give me a $100 gift card.

Ahh ..that sucks but you can go to unlock firmware without issues at least

 

[lnewcomb68]

ok

Same with Odin extract

extracting files..I see 5?

 

[mustang7757]

Ok perfect so open Odin and put everything in their corresponding slots with the firmware, example
Bl in Odin use firmware Bl
Ap in Odin use firmware AP
CSC in Odin use Home CSC firmware so it won't factory reset
CP in Odin use firmware CP

Out the device in download mode then with the loaded firmwares in Odin slot hit start and it will do it thing wait until Odin says pass to disconnect your cable from phone to computer.

Download Samsung Smart switch to your computer that way you have the device drivers installed and make a back up of your current phone that way you have a copy and can restore at anytime

Use a known good cable and in Odin when you connect the cable to the computer it will show in the com box of Odin.
