Best of luck with that. I have one more question that I haven't found an answer for. If I were to buy an unlocked s8+, directly from samsung, would the software be ATT/ATT/XAA, or XAA/XAA/XAA?

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

Was crazy busy the last year. Used to be a flashaholic back in the day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Quickvic30:
More than likely XAA x 2, but then when you insert your sim it may change. I did read a post where someone posted that they just received they're unlocked device and the U1 software version is the same version we're all using. After I did flash the att user data upon reboot the phone prompted it needed to reboot to learn new sim settings, then it boots into sim learning mode and gets all your apn's and stuff added.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dtomlin:
Should I pull the SIM while flashing then re insert, or just keep it in place?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Quickvic30:
I honestly don't remember 100% but I'm about 75% sure I did not have the sim tray installed until after I flashed the ATT user data. I'm trying to get into the habit of not having the tray in there while flashing stuff as it could mess with flashing outcome.

Oh damnit make sure you have secure start up OFF. It's not the end of the world if you don't as long as you know your PW or PIN. It's just easier to shut it off. I would remove all your accounts also, just makes for a cleaner hassle free install.

Flashed this followed by att user data in ums slot and so far everything works. Calls and data. Haven't been able to test the smart call feature and can't find any settings for it. Also, I still have the at&t boot screen. Honestly so far it seems just like stock at&t except majorly debloated. Jury is still kind of out on this one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] crazy.al:
I also had the same issue as you. For some reason you have to disable "Enhanced LTE Services" in the Mobile network settings. I turned it off and was able to call people. Turned it back on and the issue comes back. Weird. Also VoLTE does not work for me.

So what exactly happens when you try to make a call, need some details here. Is there signal bars up in the status bar? Are you getting data? 4G LTE icon in status bar? Does the sim work in other phones?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Sameer3.b:
Everything works perfectly except for making calls through cell network.. I see signal bars, shows a good dBM.. 4G LTE data works perfectly.. But when i place a call, I see a screen as if it's going through but gets immediately ended.. Sim works fine in another phone..

Someone else posted that they had the same issue a couple of posts above.. He said he had to disable Enhanced LTE services to place calls through cell network..

I wonder if there's any step that I'm missing..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Quickvic30:
That's weird how some phones just are being stubborn. All that stuff works for me and we're all using the same method pretty much.

I didn't flash the combination firmware and neither did I do the adb edit.. What are those about? Should I do those two things too? I couldn't find the combination firmware to 955 model.. Had the one for 950.. Mine is an s8+..

Can you please tell me where you found that? And what's that adb edit? I don't see the rcs symbol on the status bar.. Wonder how you got that..

Well that stinks but hey it's just a luxary not a need, if it's not one of my contacts calling I don't answer it, if it important they'll leave a message.

Search for the thread called 100% carrier change, it's in the regular s8 forum under guides and news but it might be a little burried now.

Did you wipe the phone before you flashed or did you just dirty flash over other software?

---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 PM ----------

Not many of people have that phone so all you can do is flash it, I bet it works. If not just reflash your U1 firmware using the HOME CSC so you don't lose any of your data.

All our phones are U models though, same model as yours but yours comes with the software were flashing here.

OMG I'm kinda sad now, I read through the threads saw I can have volte debloated with identify unsaved number feature so I went out and bought an att model only to reread the thread and saw you don't have that smart call feature anymore ! Lol, do you of anyway I can have volte and smart caller?? Thanks for your help

Also do you know if the process u did removed carrier iq?, I know alot of people were using package disabler to stop carrier iq
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Quickvic30:
I don't think there's a way to have both. On pure XAA I had the smart caller ID. Flashed ATT user data and have volte and all that stuff, which I don't even use.

I know I checked and on just the XAA firmware and pretty sure carrier iq was still in there. The only firmware that I know doesn't have it is the Canadian XAC, and you also get amazing battery life on XAC.

Oh yeah I watch that thread daily but wasn't aware that you could have both features. I like the smart caller ID better than all the video calling and volte stuff. I'll probably flash back to pure XAA or XAC.

If I remember right, to achieve xaa/att/att you flash iser data in the AP slot all by itself after flashing our U firmware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jaypr9:
Let me know how it works out for you. I tried flashing u1 then att userdata and I could not get volte. It would just end my calls. So I ended up flashing back to stock att unfortunately.

BTW anyone have any if the updates will work like normal or will we have to reflash everything over?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dtomlin:
Also interested in this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Sameer3.b:
I am able to get XAA/ATT/ATT by following the steps mentioned in that other thread. I started with the stock ATT firmware.

1) Flash 950W (Canadian firmware) with regular CSC

2) Finish the minimal setup

3) Flash 950U (ATT) with HOMECSC. (I didn't flash user data)

I got force close errors after I flashed 950U in the setup.. I had to wipe cache and data through recovery and then everything seemed ok..

Also note that the ATT firmware that I flashed was AQC9.. so, I had to do a manual ADB sideload to upgrade to AQDE firmware.. OTA updates don't seem to work.

I am glad that it retained the stock status bar icons which I liked over the ATT icons. There's of course no ATT bloat. VoLTE works.. There's smart call feature present. Wifi calling doesn't work.. I don't see an option for it.. if someone knows how to manually enable wifi calling, please let me know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Shuthefrontdoor:
Did you setup a pin when doing minimal setup of Canadian firmware?, And when u say flash 950u att is that just the unlocked firmware? And when you say att home CSC do u just mean it's a multi CSC, not an att specific csc.? Did you clean restore original att firmware before flashing Canadian? I'm wondering why some people need to flash user data and some dont. Thanks for your input and sorry for all the questions
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Sameer3.b:
I should've said G955 instead of G950 (mine's S8+)..

No, I haven't set up a pin.. I just skipped the security altogether.. setting up pin could be a safe side option... but again, I didn't do that while setting up, after I flashed G955W.

G955U is not the unlocked firmware.. (I think G955U1 is the unlocked firmware) it's the ATT firmware that I got from sammobile.. yes, home CSC is the multi CSC and not att specific. I have been using the stock ATT firmware for a while.. So, I didn't have to restore the original att firmware again.. If you are using the unlocked firmware, you may want to first flash the original ATT firmware and proceed with the steps above.

here are the file names for G955U firmware that I flashed after G955W, if it helps:

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bluecham:
So my ATT variant Note Edge decided to quit working on me unexpectedly yesterday. All had been going well and with no warning it rebooted at 80%. A bit of its history:

Phone has been my primary work and play phone for over 3 years

I switched it from ATT to Cricket several months ago and it has been working fine.

I have been using an extended battery in it for about a year because the OEM battery was rapidly draining and would shut down when reaching anywhere from 50% - 30% charge.

What it is now doing:

Rebooting continually and either freezing at the splash page and rebooting or after several reboots it will get to my homepage, but then reboot a few seconds later.

Blue blinking light by upper speaker continuously blinks despite having black screen

What I have done:

let it reboot continually and try to get into setting when it finally gets to my homepage- no luck

rebooted it to recovery mode- it states "installing system update" then freezes and reboots OR states "no command" with a fallen Andy :(

Attempted to access the phone through Find my Phone in Google- set it to wipe phone- didn't work.

After several attempts it was able to reboot into recovery so I factory wiped the phone(including partitions). Still continuous rebooting.

took out SD card thinking it was corrupt- no difference

Taken battery out for minutes to hours

Any other suggestions? thanks!

I have never done a firmware flash through ODIN and have no clue how. :eek:

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] gotcha640:
Is there a smooth way to take an OTA update and re-root without a computer? So far my method has been:

see that there's an update

wait a week to see if the bugs are worked out

take the update at work

curse myself for forgetting I can't root until I get home

go home and flash twrp twice to get it to stick

flash magisk

get root back for Tasker and titanium

Is there a less tethered method I'm missing?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Joshimahip1:
Immediately after installing new OTA, don't restart ur device, first reboot to recovery, after that reboot again to system, in this way ur TWRP will not be replaced by stock recovery. And after rebooted, again reboot to TWRP and flash the SuperSU zip to get root again.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] gotcha640:
Sounds good, except for the supersu bit. Is magisk interchangeable there?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Anova's Origin:
Yes, Magisk is interchangeable with SuperSU.

You don't even have to reboot to recovery after flashing an update. Since you're rooted, the OnePlus OTA app will automatically download the 1 GB+ full OTA update zip. Once you have the update, make sure you have a copy of Magisk.zip somewhere on your internal storage. Then reboot to TWRP, flash OOS OTA, then immediately flash Magisk.zip. (Occasionally, you will run into an error where TWRP unmounts /system after flashing the OTA, simply go to main menu > mount and toggle /system off and then on again before flashing Magisk). Then simply reboot and your OS will be updated and rooted without OOS replacing TWRP.

Generally: Flash OTA -> wipe cache/Dalvik -> Flash Magisk (may need to remount /system) -> Reboot
