I have a private party who messaged me the QK5 update.

Here is my problem I cannot get anything to stick to the system unless it's BL with the abl.elf files removed. Actually all .elf files I remove then flash. Everything else gives me an authentication failure or a model mismatch. I can only get into download mode and nothing else. How would I flash what I need to to get back?

OTA update FOTA

Hi, I have been attempting to modify these old patch updates to make my own FOTA update and was wondering how do you extract the file_context.bin? I had changed the ext to .txt to attempt to figure out the encoding (majority of it is text). I had attempted to make my own file_context (dir /d /s wordpad change C:\ ect to just folder contents encoded base 64 changed extension to .bin and still no luck. Im on update JC the latest as of now and had changed the Updater Script user release key to just JC for update GL and had taken the abort out of the updater Script. My Galaxy S8+ is G955u and had but no longer has OEM unlock under developer options. Secure boot is stuck on as well as secure download FRP is off no luck with odin. In recovery I get signature verification wrong in footer. On unmodified udates I get verification whole signature failed 0x00. DO I have to wait for a new Update then modify based upon previous Updates? Heres some android tools I had been using for the past 5 years...drive.google.com/open?id=1sGHq-6Zq9ka3XGPPk Sinple windows tools old adb Need updated ect...Fiddler Allows URL tracking/ parsing of phone sessions Check link docs.telerik.com/fiddler/Configure-Fiddler/Tasks/ConfigureForAndroid
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] DevVorteX:
That actually makes sense to me that you'd have some issues. These updates are diff type updates, and that's why they rely on a specific version to be already installed. They don't have everything in them, just the minimum to bump you up a version.

Cool with though, maybe with more time and more mins3 working on it, we could get more custom updates by including the necessary files in the package.

OTA update FOTA

Ive tried normal update with build.prop.p included in the update from my phone and the initial update doesn't update as I am on that version for OTA updates leads me to believe the OTA doesn't install basd upon it being made for GL to update to JC so I think ill have to wait for JC update to modify OTA. Thanks though

I am actually experiencing very similar things on my phone, except I have no recovery. I flashed the test runner a couple days ago and everything was fine until boom! Everything went haywire. My ailments are no matter the firmware and Odin I flash I still get FAIL (AUTH) Or I get the able.elf failure and when I look at the screen during the failure I get the red lettering SW REV BLAH BLAH... ATT I WON'T GIVE ME A WARRANTY OR allow my insurance to cover another device. To hell with ATT! But I also have been trying to create files within the OTA updates so I could patch things and get moving with my phone. But I think noBarb would've provided us with those AP,BL,CP,CSC FIles if it could've been done.all we can do is sit back and wait now.b

Did that guy really blame you lol? That's ridiculous, you very clearly stated the risks, also, who tries to flash an older boatloader then blames the guy uploading the files lmao.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I no longer blame norbarb. because i have been facing some things in my personal life, i was angry and unfortunately took it out on him. I have sent norbarb a PM for an apology. We, meaning the person, flashing any type of ROM,bootloader,recovery,fix, or anything are willingly and knowingly taking a huge risk on our devices. I do apologize to any one i may have offended in previous comments. i accept full responsibility for bricking my own phone and to help myself get over it i have ordered 2 motherboards in which only 1 has been sent and the other i got ripped off from a seller. but ill be back monday with no flash crazy tendencies.

moving forward, the only possible way i see at the moment to get past the brick is by using the UART EDL cable to do a deep flash. Recovery mode on my phone has been completely wiped out no matter if a recovery image passes with a flash, abl.elf files still thrw an error.if anyone is willing to work on the logic board that i have, FOR TESTING ONLY, i will be glad to send it to them, but, just to find a workaround and of course they ship it back once testing is done.

And once again, I apologize to norbarb and all i have offended.

G955USQU1E is a strange package build. I'm not sure what that's from but it won't let you flash due to a release key mismatch. You can try and edit the updater script but the binary will probably fail anyway. It may be best to wait until the ota is live and check the package then... Remember these new files are unreleased.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] skunkiechris:
You cannot update from QEB - these updates are for QDE. How did you get on QEB? Did you previously use an update from this package? QEB is the version that was released internationally (but not the 955U version obviously). If you didn't update to it manually, then you must have had it pushed by AT&T as a test or something, as it has not been released yet.

At any rate - the update will fail as it isn't built for QEB -> QEF. You would need to ODIN back to an earlier version (QDE if it's around, or the one before then take the system update), then use this update. But honestly if you're on QEB I suspect the changes are minor anyway, so not sure it would be worth it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] norbarb:
You got wrong build in your phone. This is international build for G955U you need to be on AT&T build endings with U1AQDE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] skunkiechris:
The international build is 955F. He's on a QEB version of 955U, which is the US carrier version. That's why I was wondering how he got on QEB, if he didn't do it manually via the update in this thread...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] norbarb:
Yes but looks like he have German firmware form G955F on his ( what i think) AT&T model. So what he need to do is get back to AT&T firmware by ODIN and then update to what he wants by ADB.

To be honest I did something like this back in the day on the iPhone 3G and locked myself out of using my SIM card for about 3 months so I can't say that I'm not familiar to it but kind of sucks at least I can still use my phone not like back then where I lost total using my phone since I wasn't on the carrier that the phone was set up for.

Someone saving me LOL

I did this and it works great for me. I'd did it by mistake but really wanted to get on a Oreo Beta so bad. With my S6A I enjoyed the beta version of 7.0 but cause I labeled my sideloads wrong... I screwed myself.

I really really wish someone could find a way to save me :( kind of bummed yall

Do you need any input just let me know I have tried downgrade and a few times I have tried a few different Odin packages and so far everything says failed due to whatever the message was I'd have to hook up to the computer and do it again to see what it says but I think it says something like mismatched
