Samsung Z fold 3 Odin/Firmware

Proper T-Mobile firmware?

I bought an unlocked fold 3 off of swappa. I currently have TMobile and I would like to flash the carrier firmware to the phone bc my one app doesn't work well on an unlocked phone and I have no idea why. Can anyone link me or tell me where to find the right firmware to download for Odin?

For some reason I can never get fija to work. But when I go to manually find the firmware I never know which one I need

You would need firmware for SM-F926U

Re: Proper T-Mobile firmware?

Try sammobile also for firmware

Can i make a suggestion

prince comsey - for want of a better term the latest official update was 3.12 and there has been some fake odin's out there.
Also with latest firmware i don't think prince comsey supports .lz4 compression format.
You can use this instead of prince comsey

https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/patched-odin-3-13-1.3762572/

Also frija has been updated in the latest week or also
There was some reports about, i think from memory, with downloading ATT firmware. It was reported on the last few pages

Definitely can add on here , more then welcome.

Frija im running 1.4.4.0 should be the latest

Prince comsey latest was 3.14.1 when i last checked.

Att firmware are very hard to come by .


Edit: I agree lot of fakes out there and should stick to XDA links .

Re: Proper T-Mobile firmware?

Question - can I use Odin to update the software on my unlocked Z Fold 3 on Tmobile? Alot of us are having connections issues with Tmobile on the Fold. Not sure if this firmware will "fix" this? Here is the article referenced to what is happening....

Should I update and then factory reset or visa versa?

Thank you!

Flashing unlocked phone questions

I have a unlocked fold 3 and I'm considering flashing Verizon software to it. Reason being is I have a Verizon branded S22 ultra and that has the carrier video calling built in to the dialer app and call screen. When coming from a unlocked phone to a Verizon branded phone, video calling does not just start working. Verizon has video calling turned off when using unlocked phones, so every time I would switch from my unlocked fold 3 to the S22 Ultra I would have to call Verizon to turn video calling back on.

Is it easy to flash Verizon software?

Can you take Verizon software off the unlocked if you want to later?

Can you flash the software to the unlocked without a SIM card in it?

This is the steps :

Windows computer needed

Latest Odin can Google it from XDA Forums and download the latest should be Odin 3.14.1 B Patch / and Frija tool or samfirm (i usually download both)

Download samfirm v0.4.1 tool and frija, extract it with 7zip.

You will extract files for Odin prince comsey 3.14.1once download with 7zip and will do same for firmware with 7zip .

Put your model number then region and select check for updates , then download the FIRMWARE , extract the FIRMWARE with 7zip.

There will be 4 files after you extract the firmware


BL

AP

CP

CSC

Each of those files will go in Odin when you open to the corresponding slots

BL

AP

CP

Home slot don't put anything

CSC USE HOME CSC FIILE TO SAVE DATA /THIS ONLY GOING BETWEEN CARRIER FIRMWARE OR IF YOUR ON UNLOCKED GOING BETWEEN UNLOCKED FIRMWARE

If you going from carrier to unlock firmware keep regular CSC not home CSC and do a back up it will factory reset the device.

connect your phone with cable to computer , once the files are in its slots hit start, once done you'll see pass in Odin and it will reboot





*Make sure you put phone in download mode
*If dont see your phone connected in Odin change cables or ports in computer .
*Never disconnect the cable in middle of flashing.
