This phone was a carrier unlocked Sprint S8+ and was working with tmoble before i tried the flash. I just wanted to flash to get wifi calling since there are some dead spots i visit. Thanks, i will flash it back to spr, hopefully i can get service again. :)

I have downloaded updato. I downloaded May and June release of USA (ATT) 2x, and each zip contained all the other files but USERDATA
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] cnote74:
I know AT&T user data is in c9 might also be in the d9 one to.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Duffmantp:
I think i know what i did wrong, I was downloading from SM-G955U1, instead of SM-G955U. Which im currently doing to see if it is in there. Like Mike said, i will probably get all the the other ATT Crap with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] superflysocal:
I haven't messed with flashing in a while. I have a brand new US unlocked version G955U1 version of the S8+. I have never powered it on yet. My ultimate goal is to have the Tmobile firmware and have it behave as if it was the tmobile version of the phone. I will do the prerequisite steps and and the Flash Standard firmware section after downloading the Tmobile firmware. Do i need to do the Change Carrier section? I am not sure what that is for if I already flashed the tmobile version in the previous step. It also said in that section getting canadian firmware. Why?

Finally, when i am done, will the phone get OTA updates from tmobile?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike15678:
Please, disregard THIS post and move on. I'm talking about THIS one.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike15678:
First of all, turn on your unlocked S8+ with a T-Mobile SIM card. You should be prompted to restart, as it will set the CSC code to "TMB" for you, without the need of following the "Carrier Switching" section.

Then, you can just flash the T-Mobile "USERDATA" file in the "UMS" box in Odin (follow the prerequisites section so you can 'patch' standard Odin). Doing these steps will give you T-Mobile features and apps on your unlocked S8+, while saving time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] randyhtc132:
S8+ Verizon ---> ATT

I followed the guide and all worked Ok except updates need to pushed trough ADB and VoLTE and Wifi Calling does not work at least with the ATT firmware. I have not tried yet the Unlocked Version and flashed UserData. One thing I found out after calling ATT support is that :

The agent told me my phone is provisioned correctly under their eyes with the ATT firmware but their servers see the IMEI as a Verizon device and does not let the VoLTE and WiFi calling to be enabled. He told me that I could solve that by getting a dummy ATT IMEI and calling them to be changed in the account so they can enable the services. If any body here has successfully used the unlocked version to switch from Verizon to ATT please let me know. I might try it later on.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] superflysocal:
Will doing this make my phone behave exactly like a tmobile version of the phone? Will it get Tmobile OTA updates?

Also, I downloaded the firmware from Updato but not sure if I got the right firmware. I got the one under SM-G955U1 for Tmobile from June 12, 2017 G955U1UEU1AQE3. After extracting i don't see a firmware that starts with USERDATA. I only see it starts with AP, BL, CP, CSC, and Home CSC. Should i have downloaded the one under SM-G955U G955USQU1AQFJ instead of SM-G955U1? My phone is model SM- G955U1.

Also, if I flash USERDATA only, does the USERDATA version i get it from have to match the one I already have?

Last question, what is the difference between flashing what you said only the USERDATA vs flashing everything in the firmware such as AP, BL, CP, CSC, Home CSC, and USERDATA besides the latter taking longer?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike15678:
Let me try explain all of this.

1) I believe you'll still receive OTA updates from Samsung. Flashing the "USERDATA" file in the "UMS" box in Odin is sufficient for most people who want carrier features on their unlocked phone, but want to remain on unlocked firmware.

2) You downloaded the wrong firmware. The correct model is "SM-G955U" not "SM-G955U1", for standard carrier firmware.

3) ??? The "USERDATA" file is in the carrier firmware archive.

4) This was answered in response 1 of this post.

If you want your phone to be exactly like a T-Mobile phone, then just turn on your phone with a T-Mobile SIM card and your phone will ask you to reboot, applying a "TMB" CSC code. Then, follow the "Flashing Standard Firmware" section to flash your T-Mobile firmware onto your unlocked S8+.

whats better though the xaa unlocked firmware or the canadian xac? i have noticed the canadian xac its on a later update than the usa unlocked
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] superflysocal:
Thank you, that's what i did when I couldn't find the wireless hotspot app and thought it was only on the standard Tmobile version. Now i am regretting it because even on the tmobile version it's not an app anymore, it's built into the settings section and can be accessed in the pull down menu. Oh well, now I have a true tmobile version and hope i get updates as fast as other tmobile phones.

Thanks for clearing things up.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] AxlxA:
From my observation going from U1 to the AT&T firmware, I am unable to get any OTA updates. I tried trouble shooting this but it seems that it just wont get OTA... only way is go to the AT&T ota thread and grab the files for sideloading
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike15678:
Through more user input, I've noticed that you would need to contact AT&T and provide them with either a dummy AT&T IMEI number (one you find on display) or give them an IMEI number from a spare AT&T phone you have. Then, they could properly activate it, and you would be able to receive OTA updates, I believe.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] DruoGaby:
hey mike...any idea in when the new uodate will hit the unlocked version...or can you tell me where to look so i csn keep an eye out?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike15678:
Ummm... I can't predict the future, you know.

Updates come out over-the-air before Samsung makes the files available for use with Smart Switch (Samsung makes them available within a week). Then, the kind people at http://fw.updato.com take the firmware from Samsung's servers and decrypt them for use with Odin and provide them for free, with no download restrictions.

I recommend that you keep looking for OTA updates on your phone, as they are released first.

Where, in my Galaxy S8+, would I find where it says my CSC or whatever says XAA/XAA/XAA. I flashed my AT&T S8+ to Unlocked Firmware using both Carrier Switch method and Unlocked Firmware method. My phone is still currently locked to AT&T and I'm currently waiting to recieve my unlock code for my phone. I know that this guide does not unlock the carrier.

Edit: makes no sense to really flash to the att fw...to much hassle to get it working how you want..att is strict!..lol maybe ill steal the imei from the display s8 plus :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike15678:
You could just follow the "Flashing Standard Firmware" section since I'm assuming your CSC code is already set to "ATT". You only have to follow the "Carrier Switching" section if it isn't.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike15678:
Try following the "Carrier Switching" section, so you can change your CSC code to "TMK". Then, follow the "Flashing Standard Firmware" section, so you can flash MetroPCS firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] DruoGaby:
lol..i jumped ship fully..got the att s8 plus now..so im good...no hasles of flashin this that..and enjoying it...sprint t sucks!..thanks for your help though bro?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] William1971:
do you have to go through the canadian or can you just load up the correct firmware during this step?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike15678:
You need to follow the whole entire "Carrier Switching" section. Then, you would be able to flash MetroPCS firmware onto your phone by following the "Flashing Standard Firmware section.

Nothing in this guide is redundant. Follow it and you'll be good to go.

What's so painful about the AT&T ROM in the long run? I'm finally about to flash my T-mobile S8+ to AT&T since I am taking my S8+ over to AT&T.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] DruoGaby:
nothing...i ended up buying the att device..because sprint is a pos...couldnt get all the features to work...but being that your goin from tmo to att..i dont think the software is much different
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] normanallen:
Hi,

I did everything in the Carrier Switching section just fine. I started the Standard Firmware section and loaded the BL, AP, CP, CSC, and UMS from an AT&T binary from the link you provided. Right now, my phone is on the Downloading screen. Odin says "SetupConnection". Both have been like this for one hour now with no progress being shown. Am I being impatient? If I wanted to reboot and start the Standard section over, could I? Let me know your thoughts.

EDIT: Please disregard the above. I shut the phone down and started over with the "Flashing Standard Firmware" section and it's fine now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] disturbd1:
This has probably been addressed already, but is there a way to load/sideload AT&T firmware without overwriting data? I'm on the US unlocked variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] evilhunter101:
Mike, I have a Verizon S8+. If I do the carrier switch method to get to AT&T CSC, then flashing standard firmware which software version could then be used to access the AT&T VoLTE, Wifi Calling etc? Research is giving me conflicting information, just hoping you happen to know off top of your head which ones work. (would like to avoid the need to sideload AT&T software)

I tried flashing the XAA firmware on my AT&T s8+ and I can't get texts to send? Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jlord:
I'm usually pretty good with this stuff bit had a major issue trying to flash the Tmobile fw on my unlocked. Been using Tmobile and my code was already TMB. It's my understanding that all I needed to do was follow the flash standard firmware section. I got all the way to adding the UMS file and it would say successfull but the file name didn't show up in the box like the others and the box was not checked. The flash passed anyway but my phone booted to the Tmobile splash then to the Unlocked and once booted all the way it just gave constant errors. I was able to flash unlocked again successfully but what went wrong? I did change the 0 to a 1 in the odin config.

EDIT: Figured it out. For some reason Drag And Drop works for all the others but that one. Had to click the UMS box and manually point it to the file. Weird.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Either you got a bad download of ODIN or of the T-Mo firmware. I too have a G955U1, purchased directly frim Samsung.com, and just yesterday I used ODIN to flash the T-Mo firmware.

I actually purposely flashed it with the old May firmware, just so I could test to see if it would get OTAs just like a T-Mo carrier version. I have read if it flash from XAA to ATT, you won't get OTAs.

Well, after I was done flashing the carrier branded firmware, I sound up with a carrier designation of TMB/TMB/XAA, just as expected, and was running T-Mo firmware with the May 5 security patch.

Once I went through the setup wizard, I checked for a software update, and it located, downloaded, and installed two OTA updates, bringing me up to the current T-Mo firmware with the July 1 security patch.

[MENTION=8352198]Mike15678[/MENTION], if anyone has any questions about flashing to T-Mo, you will get T-Mo OTAs just like the T-Mo versions you buy in the store.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jlord:
got it figured out. See my edit. Anyway I did the same and am getting ota. However after the first ota when it reboots after I input pin its shows the unlocked version boot animation. Normal?

EDIT: It only didnt that after the first OTA. Installed a couple more to get up to date on security and now it boots just like a normal tmobile phone. After the Tmobile splash it asks for PIN then goes straight to homescreen like my old Tmobile S8 did. weird that I got that Unlocked animation after the first OTA though.

---------- Post added at 05:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

How do I find this carrier designation?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Yes, that's very weird. After flashing all five files from.thr T-Mo firmware I saw no sign of the unlocked firmware. Glad you're up and running now!

As far as the carrier designation, go to settings - about phone. Scroll down to Service Provider SW ver. At the bottom are three CSC codes. The first two should reflect your current carrier and which carrier firmware you're running. Those two will change based upon which firmware you flash and what SIM card you're running. The last CSC code merely designates the original firmware on the device. XAA in my case since it was a US Unlocked model before I flashed the T-Mo firmware. That last one can not be changed and will not affect anything.

Just FYI, that section in about phone does not appear in the unlocked firmware. If it did, it would read XAA/XAA/XAA, until you put a SIM card in it, then one of the first two CSC codes would change.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dogredwing1:
Anybody know how to fix this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike15678:
Ummm, no. You can however, sideload updates once you flash AT&T firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike15678:
AT&T has a funny way of activation, if you don't own an AT&T phone. Once you follow the two sections of the guide you mentioned, you would have to provide AT&T a dummy handset IMEI number (you can find these at AT&T stores) and they should (hopefully) link it with your S8+ so you can get OTA updates, VOLTE, Wifi Calling, and whatnot.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike15678:
What's your current CSC code? You can find this by going into Recovery Mode (Hold Bixby+Volume Up+Power).
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jlord:
Of course once I finally flash the T-Mobile fw they send the nav bar update to the Unlocked...

Back to Unlocked for me. Worked perfectly using the guide. If they stay only a few weeks behind on updates like they've done so far, I'm gonna stick with it.

All of the ATT firmware i try to download does not have the userdata file. My unlocked phone currently has a CSC code : ATT. Can i just flash without the userdata? I am looking to activate the wifi calling feature on this phone.

So.... This set up is actually working pretty well for me.

Uag metropolis with a full edge to edge( only speaker cut out and black border)screen protector. The case wraps around the top and bottom and the side are so low pro that they dont bump the sides of the glass.

I have also noticed that when you first put the screen protector on the touch sensitivity is par...but the longer its on the better it gets....maybe the naturalized air gap pressure dies off...or i am just getting use to it.

I havent really seen much on the metropolis and just thought i would share my setup.

Update: changed out the first screen protector because i just wanted to see if there was a difference.... 100% better on the second one that came in the 2 pack. Its unreal how much better touch sensitivity is between the 2.

On a 10 scale(the screen protector) i would say its a 9 for the case setups im using. Case #1 uag metropolis and work case is ghostek nautical with screen removed.

Its this one

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] noXcape:
Insert the bottom of the phone into the bottom of the case at an angle then pull up the top of the case over the top of the phone. The case actually helps hold the protector from lifting.

Wondering if anyone has figured out a way to remove the keyboard icon in bottom right of Navigation bar / navbar when typing?

Previously on the pixel and past oneplus phones installing multiple keyboards did this but it seems permanent with s8. What's strange is that I don't have any other keyboards installed other than what samsung pre-installed...

I have the standard s8 keyboard plus a Samsung Keyboard Neural Beta and then Samsung voice search.

Any ideas?

Hey guys, a while ago I tried going back to stock with the official Motorola Factory image. I wasn't getting any security OTAs, so I tried again with this image: CLARK_RETUS_6.0_MPHS24.49-18-8_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip by Motorola-Firmware-Team It was an update behind despite being uploaded on 1/26/17. I totally reset my phone and now I'm getting the latest update notification, but it won't update because of this error: [IMG="Sorry for the BLUR (see what I did there?)"]

I get that this error happens a lot and yes, I know I went back to stock correctly and I'm pretty sure I flashed my modem correctly. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Does that work?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Yeah, I got it... You have a incomplete flash on 18-8 or you used a ROM not for your device. You need to reflash the modem stack from 18-8 image and try the update again.

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin

And verify an OKAY after each step, if you don't get one, do it again.

Then if it still fails to update, can you post output of `fastboot getvar all` and mask out your IMEI number?
