Thank you! Your clear instructions saved my day! I don't know the first thing about flashing firmware etc. But I was able to resurrect my wife's Galaxy A51 that was stuck in ODIN mode after an OTA update last week. Guy in Samsung shop & on helpline (UK) did not have a clue and said if I sent off for repair they'd wipe all data off it. Lots of sentimental photos retrieved! Very happy and relieved! Thank you!🎉

[@dmoody0403]

I've had an S23 Ultra with the bug that leaves it stuck it at Android 13 and One UI 5.1 for months! Your instructions fixed it in less than an hour. THANK YOU!

Easy, fast and straight forward, best Tutorial I've found for this Problem. Lately there were several problems with Over-The-Air-Updates from Samsung and my Phone bricked. Through you I didn't have to install everything again, will keep this Video marked for the future, thank you very much !

This is very helpful, considering it is two years ago but all the steps were the same with only a bit of a hiccup of forcing me to do a factory reset after the firmware flashing but I got it working perfectly with my flip 5., thank you.,

[@excalibur1812]

Great video. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra that I thought was factory-unlocked. It turned out to be a carrier-unlocked from AT&T. You can't get OTA updates unless you're an at&t customer. I've heard that you can flash the global international rom on the AT&T, turning it into the international model, but I'm afraid of bricking the phone. I did update it with the direct download from Samsung server with your method. I'm in Texas, but my mom was born in Radldorf. She moved here after meeting my dad who was on the U. S. Army. Some of most vivid memories from childhood involved driving to visit my Oma in Radldorf. It was really beautiful there-mostly farmers.😊

[@TomatoKiller21]

I have a similar issue but with a Verizon factory unlocked. How do you download from the Samsung Server?

[@ElaineGarcia-uo8qj]

Ok, nice to know that there's a difference on unlocking devices. Btw, maybe I'm on wrong video I want to unlock oem for rooting

[@risheesharma]

Thanks dude! saved my data!

Worked perfectly. Directions easy to follow. My wife and I weren't getting updates. After mine went so easy I went ahead and did hers too. Thank you.

[@discoverBR]

hey, you rock!!! very well explained and easy to follow, instantly subscribed! I could finally install android 11 outside the region my phone was originally designated for. My only question now is: what about the regular security patches? Is there a way to keep getting them as well? It would be fantastatic if you or anyone would have any tips on that! :)

[@BredzPro]

I am happy to have helped! 🥰 After updating with Odin you should start getting them normally. If you still don't, you can do so via Odin every time, or do it quicker by Smart Switch for PC: kzbin.info/www/bejne/onu7f6Fjqb-SeM0

Thank you for making this video! My wife's s20 was stuck on Android 12. Was able to get her updated with this. ODIN failed the first time for me, but after swapping to a different cable it worked perfectly.

hey man thanks for the video although I want to ask. If you use the CSC file does it delete the internal storage too? or the /data folder only?

[@BredzPro]

The CSC_ file will wipe everything and factory reset your device.

For those who get a menu, leave the device unplugged, and select "reload to bootloader" you'll get the teal screen that says "Downloading..." then plug your phone in. Boom, Odin will start to do it's thing.

[@BredzPro]

Thank you for the tip!

I had to watch another video to do that but u were here 🙏👍

Great! was not getting OTA on verizon variant of s21+. downloaded one ui 6 from other source as firja was showing one ui 5 firmware. Simple and fast. Thanks again

[@BredzPro]

I am happy to have helped! 😊

[@4rl3y]

Thanks for the tutorial! In case someone runs into the same problem as me and the update in Odin3 gets stuck at "PRISM": unplug your phone and restart it (volume down + side button hold 7 seconds, this will lead to a blue screen but don't worry), plug it back in and start/flash ONLY the HOME_SCS file by (un)ticking the boxes next to it. Then your phone will reboot just fine.

But it’s stuck on the Samsung logo😹did I go something wrong

[@BredzPro]

Is it just the logo or does it keep restarting? The logo means it's loading. If it's restarting, you're stuck on a bootloop and you should try again.

[@therealrando]

By returning it to the owner

[@excalibur1812]

Excellent video. I bought a Note 20 ultra because it was unlocked. However, it is an AT&T network unlocked phone, not factory-unlocked. Problem is, AT&T releases the updates and unless you are on AT&T, you won't receive updates. Even using Smart Switch won't upgrade the phone. I would like to flash it with the factory unlocked rom, but I'm afraid it'll brick my device if I try it. This process was smooth as silk. Flashed without any problems.

[@md.abadanislam6626]

hi, loved the video, do I need to wipe cache partition at the end? I saw other guy didnt wipe cache partition, please let me know why I should do this wipe?

[@BredzPro]

Hello! No worries if you can't reach that step. It's more of an extra step to clear and "refresh" some files from the previous update.

[@fredboeing6307]

It worked for me on my note 10 plus! You are a genius! Thank you. The only think, I didn't wipe the partition at the end, I don't understand why we should do that? I have the last version of firmware. Would be nice to know why 😉

[@BredzPro]

I am happy to help! :) It's an extra step to remove temporary files from the previous version and installation process. It'll "refresh" some of the system components to run smoother.
