A Few Questions - SM-G960U to SM-G960U1 - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I have a Samsung S9, SM-G960U, that is unlocked but has AT&T firmware, and I would like to flash the phone to have the SM-G960U1 firmware to get rid of the AT&T bloatware. I think I have the procedure for the actual flashing fairly well understood, and I plan to delete all accounts and factory reset before flashing, but I would like to know if I have the right software and file.
For flashing from AT&T SM-G960U to Samsung SM-G960U1 I have downloaded Odin 3.13.1 - Is this correct or should I be using Odin Patched to flash from U to U1? If I need Odin Patched, where is the recommended site to download the patched version?
I have downloaded the following U1 firmware file: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s9/firmware/SM-G960U1/XAA/download/G960U1UEU9FUE4/1557190/ Is this the correct firmware to flash to my SM-G960U to make it SM-G960U1?
Thanks in advance for any help. If I posted this in the wrong section of the forum, please accept my appologies, and let me konw where I should post it.

[Q] n7100 N7100XXUEMK9 no IMEI odin FAIL KNOX activated

Hi everyone,
I am tried to recuperate a Samsung note 2 GT-N7100 without efs backup and baseband, imei and network lost. KNOX is activated.
Following to "Originally Posted by dr.ketan View Post N7100XXUEMJ5 How to Root + Remove New Bootloader + KNOX Free" from "dr.ketan" I really hope that I can do it. But in the first steep I´m blocked, because when I try to flash "PDA: N7100XXUEMJ5" in the first second appears "FAIL" and the phone said "that is not compatible with this version".
To download the original rom from sammovile like dr-ketan said linking to "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2499794" of "Faryaab" and I cant find:

So I download from external webs but am not sure if it doesn’t work or is my phone´s problem.
I explain exactly all my probes that i did before this post, an actually I am really feel that I´m loose this battle, so please if anybody has an idea it´ll be great!
I beging with no IMEI, so the phone can´t take network to use it. Always that become dead the only way to recuperate it is flash via odin:
Model: GT-N7100
Model name: Galaxy Note II
Country: Spain
Version: Android 4.3

PDA: N7100XXUEMK9
After that I can swicth on, but steel without IMEI and network; and of course KNOX activated.
Ok, let´s go to explain what I did before in case this can give aut some information:
1.- To recuperate the IMEI with ARIZA-Path
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/solved-siii-network-problem-update-sn-t1918601
I obtain root access to install busy-box and ariza-patch with KNOX activated. The patch was apply correctly, but it wasn’t recuperate the IMEI
2.- To recuperate the modem or base band using different files
Here I used many post from XDA testing different modems, patch and baseband according of my PDA file in every moment. But still no work, sometimes become in CWM mode "signature fail", other via odin "PASS"; but the conclusion in every case is the same, "phone unknown, no baseband, no IMEI..."
Here I have other question, when u flash the modem, for example "XXDME4 / DXDMF1 / DDMG1" do you have to put only the correct one (DXDMF1 in my case) or all of it. I did both, just to try.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584250 to read and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044937 to download modems
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468119
3.- To recuperate the IMEI via flash Philz after that in CWM using this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2536418
The same situation
4.- To complete flash and recovery with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2154890
I did the same operation in other S-4 and works, but here my problem is:
- The complete pack of 5 files to flash it via odin, I only found for android 4.1.2
- If I try to downgrade with KNOX active, become "FAIL"
- If I try to flash a version of android 4.3 without KNOX, appears one more time the same "FAIL"
Posible solution for that ¿¡?
- Find out a complete flash files for android 4.3 (PDA, MODEM or baseband, BOOTLOADER, CSS and in case Pit file)
- Downgrade to 4.1.2 and install OXA pack that I have it
- Restore it for SAT http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618261 with flash counter in 0
- Use KIES to restore it (I hate this possible solution) external link obviously in http://www.droidviews.com/firmware-upgrade-encountered-an-issue-solution/
Hopefully u posts it in correct place and someone can help me.
Regards to moderates people and every person who post looking for helps to others.
To Downgrade you N7100 and remove KNOX you need
1. OLD JTAG microSD card
2. Open the phone
3. Short Resistor
4. Power up the phone
5. Wait for success message
6. Assembly back
7. Flash to ANY old SW and Knox will not showed in Download Mode
Many phones checked like that

A70 firmware not upgrading

Hi there guys,
my family just bought 4x A705FN, and before start using them we wanted to get rid off Vodafone's things in the phone. So I went to samMobile, downloaded the latests unbranded version (Spain PHE) 19-07-03, and started to put in on the phones using Odin.
The first 3 phones went perfectly, but the latests one didn't. It says that it has the latests version but it doesn't, I'm stuck with:
- A70FNXXU2ASF5
- 17 June Kernel
- Security patch: May
And I don't get the update I don't know why. When the phone starts after the installation with Odin it starts in Spanish, like nothing happened or what I'm doing is not happening (the others started in russian wich is the first language per defect).
Can anybody tell me what can I do pls? I would like to receive upgrades like the other phones.
The latest firmware for Spain is:
Version Android 9

Thank you for replying me.
The thing is that the other 3 phones had an upgrade after installing the one you say and the firmware now is:

And I would like to receive the same upgrade for the last phone, I don't understand why that one cannot have the same software. The process to change the firmware was the same. It doesn't make sense for me.
I live in Turkey and i also have A705FN model a70. I stuck at june update and other countries got 3 update.thats not fair.still couldnt get super steady and last fingerprint update.

Unlocked SM-N975U1 purchased from Microsoft Store -- want to upgrade firmware

I just acquired a new unlocked Galaxy Note 10+ SM-N975U1 a week ago from the Microsoft Store. I got it working on the T-Mobile network without issues except for firmware upgrades. The device automatically downloaded & installed about 5 upgrades but stopped when showing:
Software update information:
Current version: N975U1UEU3CTC9 / N975U1OYM3CTC9 / N975U1UEU3CTC9
Security patch level: April 1, 2020
From what I can tell, this seems to mean that I am running Android 10, but not OneUI 2.5.
I'd like to flash a later security patch level and get the OneUI 2.5 update. Is SamMobile.com the best place to get the latest firmware? If so, should I choose the latest "USA (T-Mobile (TMB)" option even though this is not a T-Mobile locked device? Or, is there a better option to select?
Thanks in advance.

can't update my s9

So i wanted to update my device from Android 9(pie) to Android 10.
But i couldn't find the right firmware and I searched for SM-G960U "XAA" firmware but that one doesn't exist at all! And it's like my phone is a mutant or something. I also tried possibly every firmware i could find.
Model : SM-G960U
CSC : XAA
AP version : G960USQSUCSJ6
BL version : G960USQS7CSJ6
CP version : G960USQSUCSJ6
CSC version : G960UOYN7CSJ6
Snapdragon variant
So how to update my phone? any help would be appreciated
@_tmplt seems to me you got U1 version.
Searched for that?
I've found some.
AND imho it's a bit hazardous to post your IMEI so openly.
