So I take it you went from a Tmobile firmware to this one and back to the Tmobile firmware? I'm on Verizon (but using Tmobile which works well except for the wifi calling being unavailable) but not having samsung pay on Gear will be a bigger issue for me.

Assuming reverting back to the regular tmobile one wasn't an issue at all as some had reported earlier? In case I need to go back to my verizon one...

I had to flash it a few times to get it to pass, but in the end, I'm back to running TMobile, all things up and working.

What patch level this build has? May 1 or April 1? Also inserting the T Mobile sim will activate the carrier settings?

Anyone know if 4x4 MIMO and 256 QAM are still functional after flashing this 955u1 firmware?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] Milly7:
I flashed the firmware posted by Rydah805. It has the April patch and carrier apn was activated on boot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] Quickvic30:
Flash TMO user data in the UMS slot all by itself and you will get TMO features, boot splash screen, wifi calling, ect. You get some minor bloat but you can uninstall it along with Google and Samsung apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] undertaker2k14:
So you could, theoretically, just flash the user data from tmobile to a VZW phone without flashing anything else? I am on the verizon firmware and if I all I need to do is flash the user data, that will make things simple esp since the U1 firmware has broken Gear support right now. Any one try this : just flashing the user data from one carrier onto another carrier branded phone WITHOUT flashing the U1 firmware?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] Quickvic30:
I haven't tried that yet. Last night I did try flashing TMO user data to my ATT phone and it just reverted it to ATT for some reason but then again this was on U1 firmware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] jrock79:
That actually worked. I have the video calling icon. Not sure how to check RCS. Got the tmob splash screen. Only tmob apps installed were visual voicemail and tmob tv. Firmware is G955U1UEU1AQDC
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] undertaker2k14:
So you flashed the unlocked firmware + tmobile user data? Do you have a gear to test out samsung pay? :) I was referring to taking a stock vzw phone on AQDF and just flashing the tmobile user data on to it which is slightly different. Been too busy to try it out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] jrock79:
Unfortunately I don't have a gear.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] Zheranon:
What about the VR headset? If you do have one, does it work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] Rydah:
It is disabled on this firmware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] Zheranon:
Yea, on this one, I know. I'm running the one from the OP.

I was wondering about his W firmware with the T-Mobile userdata, though.

Didn't want to go through the hassle if it wouldn't work in the end.

*edit*

I'm mixing up threads, sigh. The W firmware is a separate thread.

But still, wondering if flashing G955W firmware with our userdata would work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] Rydah:
Lol no worries. Let me know if you find out. I'd like the unlocked firmware with native video calling and RCS messaging.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] Zheranon:
I'm fine with what works, except I really want VR back because my family loves it lol. My wife's S7 overheats when we try using it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] jrock79:
So I was doing some testing. Flash OPs ROM then flashed tmobs userdata. Got all tmob features back. Flashed home CSC from OP and got video call button on phone app. Unfortunately, didn't have any one to test it with.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] Lazybumx:
i just got a verizon s8 plus, just flashed and now using it on t-mobile. So far so good havent really noticed anything missing. Love it thanks guys

Root? Custom Recovery? or just for bloat removal...

Pardon me as I'm still on the Note 4 but tempted to grab up one of these T-Mobile branded S8+'s to use on Cricket Wireless having just begun trying to find answers. In regards to the OP, I am a bit confused:

1) Does this "Root" the T-Mobile S8+ ?

2) Does the either install or allow install of a custom recovery - such as TWRP?

3) Or does this "Unlocked" Firmware simply "Unlock" as in the SIM as such to be able to use the device on another carrier as in my case AND/OR just remove the bloat?

4) Lastly, if the answers above is #3, Is there a way to either root the S8+ and/or install custom recovery?

I assume as in the past the other carrier models are locked down completely in regards to rooting or install of custom recovery for Roms, ect... such as the other viable choice for me needing GSM - an AT&T model?

Thanks. :good: :fingers-crossed:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] bajasur:
Can anyone on Verizon confirm they have RCS messaging working with this firmware (or any firmware)? Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] Zheranon:
So I reverted to the T-Mobile firmware today. VR works again, as does my Gear S2 (but it also worked on the unlocked firmware.)

No T-Mobile bloat was installed. When I opened up the phone dialer, I got a pop-up for video calling, but I haven't tested it yet. Not sure how to test RCS, either.

---------- Post added at 03:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 PM ----------

No root for us G955U users just yet.

What this does is give us a "ROM" that would make our phones as if they were carrier unlocked. AKA no bloatware. Removes some features, as well, but those can be reattained with some flashing, for the most part. I used it specifically to remove bloat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] Incazteco:

I works great except for the game tools and game launcher. game launcher does not recognize the games automatically, also game tools simply does not exist.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] Zheranon:
For those, like me, that couldn't get our model number back to G955U: The latest update from tmobile, after flashing with ODIN, fixes the issue.

My phone now correctly displays as G955U and not G955U1.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] mervinj7:
Did you flash directly from Verizon S8 Plus to Tmobile or did you flash the unlocked firmware in between? If so, which version of ODIN did you use?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] mperez19:
Just tried everything you did and no luck for me. Wifi calling works after flashing the Unlocked firmware but once I flash TMB User data wifi calling stops working and I still don't have Video Calling on the Phone app. Any idea what's going on?

We got an update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] kcsevo:
That was nice to get. An update. I noticed that when I use the unlocked firmware, using only what Op provides, everything about the system is great! If you use the TMB data file, you get video calling. No RCS. Battery is horrible. So I just stick with Op instructions. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] SensualPuma:
So how does one flash badk to TMO firmware? Been getting a lot of issues with apps that keep stopping randomly
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] kcsevo:
So I was able to get native video calling and RCs messaging on this firmware. But I sacrificed secure folder. And then I realize RCs is only good if the recipient also at RCs. Is that correct? It's kind of a double-edged sword because if I'm avoiding my wife and she texted me after she can't reach me by phone call then she'll know I checked the messages, lmao. Sigh! Can't have them all.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M3taX:
So I found a random Samsung J5, couldn't find a way to return it to the owner since it didn't have a SIM and it had a password, so I factory reset it so I could use it myself. Thing is, Google won't let me complete the initial setup without entering an email that was previously used on the phone. Is there a way around that besides flashing stock firmware on it again?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tys0n:
It's the factory reset protection. Anti theft stuff.

Flashing stock firmware won't help.

There are ways to bypass but not allowed for discussion on xda.

Hello!

My friend has a big problem. He broke his phone screen (LCD and touch). His Android has pattern to unlock and usb debugging off. System work's - I see about 15 px of top menu and hear sound from speaker.

Is there any chance to recive data from internal memory? He broke that phone about 3 month ago and right now he probably don't remember pattern.

I try connect mouse and keyboard with OTG cable, but it does not work. I try push 3 buttons and open recovery menu, but nothing to happend.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramiabouzahra:
It is possible, pattern locks are really simple to crack using adb (tons of tutorials online).

Once you have done that, you can try to use the good ol otg combo.

If that doesn't work, boot into download mode (usually power button + home + volume down) and flasha recovery (don't wipe the userdata). Then from there, adb can recognize it and you can create a backup from there and access shell to get the files.

Good luck.

[Verizon LG G3] lagerman38:
Hello everyone,

I have a G3 that I is starting to give me issues. It is slowly starting to freeze while using applications. It hangs when scrolling through pages and the battery life is really going fast (I have to charge it like 3 times a day!). I currently cannot afford a replacement and all attempts to back it up have failed. I tried using the built in back up app and I downloaded the back up app from LG. I have also tried different back up apps from the play store and those didn't work. The current build number is MRA58K if that helps.

I am at a loss for what to do!! Any help would be greatly appreciated
[Verizon LG G3] lagerman38:
Update:

I can see the files when I have the phone connected to my PC. However, every backup software I try to run on it fails. What I am ultimately trying to do is a wipe and reinstall to see if it is software or hardware causing the issue.
[Verizon LG G3] tjupille:
I had similar symptoms when my battery died. Aside from not holding a charge, the battery swelled enough to press on the MB. After replacing the battery (cheap from LG, about $15 if I recall) the memory problems went away, but there was residual damage in the form of a "dead zone" at the top of the screen which was unresponsive to touch. I ended up getting a used unit on FleaBay.
[Verizon LG G3] lagerman38:
Interesting now that I read that, I found some more things pointing to a battery issue. I found one on Amazon for $10!! I'll update everyone after I get it and test again. My phone is due for an upgrade in a couple of months so I will see if this can hold me until then.
[Verizon LG G3] lagerman38:
Well the replacement battery didn't do the trick. I backed up what I could to the SD card and did a Factory reset. Since it is only the first day, I am slowly adding apps back on to see if I can figure out who the culprit was. For now, I am leaving the known apps to cause battery drain off, I.E. Facebook etc..
