[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anubioz:
I want my ROM to receive OTA-updates, so instead of downloading and flashing a new version manually, users would get it updated for them automatically. All source codes are available for my device (Wileyfox Storm (kipper)), so building a custom kernel, recovery, TWRP, OS itself is trivial - generally you command brunch and everything just works™.

So I wonder - how do I enable OTA-updates for a ROM, while still keeping an option for users to use TWRP recovery? (yes, I got a place to host files & I generally understand how OTA works). I know that official TWRP app can queue zip files for installation in recovery mode, which is almost the same functionality I need for my OTA updates. Generally I'm looking for a way to make TWRP run a script located in /cache/recovery/command right after boot without offering any kind of user interaction. Can it be done with a TWRP, built from official sources or do I need to patch something to support that behavior?

So the question is how do I create OTA-updates that are compatible with official TWRP or how do I create a custom TWRP, that supports OTA-updates (whichever suits more for my task)?

Did you flash the modem?
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafaelox24:
Yes, I want to emphasize that I download the flsheable update, but it did not work so I try to do it manually, but to not have to download the files i use the same zip and It works. I was in a modified rom, and when I put the update it do not delete anything but the phone was very slow so I decided to do a TOTAL formatting, but by accident I left it without operating system so I took advantage of the stock software and on that Stock manually put the update. Finally I will say that when I put the stock does not configure the phone, just start it up to the configuration screen, as if it were a new phone and then turn it off and start updating manually.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] oscarm003:
Hello, I'm a tmobile customer that just purchased an unlocked galaxy s8 from the Samsung website. I'm wondering if going to the store and getting the tmobile firmware on it installed is really necessary. I mainly want to do this because of the software updates, but then I thought the the unlocked version might get updates from a different source? Am I right? I'm sorry about this being such a general question, but I just want to do what's best for my new phone. Would you recommend me installing this firmware? Or should I just keep the stock unlocked firmware it came with? Are there any drawbacks associated with not installing the tmobile firmware on it?

EDIT:

To start, will Tmobile even do this in the first place? I'm totally clueless whether they offer installing their software on customer phones or not.

Thank you.

Hi there. Unfortunately, you are going to be really hard pressed to find a T-Mobile rep anywhere that could/would flash firmware w/ Odin. Not saying that there aren't some reps out their that don't know about this stuff (there are a lot that really have no clue though), but this is well outside of what most of them are trained for, plus Odin is only supposed to be used by Samsung. Also, historically (at least the last couple of years), for whatever reason Samsung's unlocked US models have been getting updates slower than the carrier versions, which really doesn't make any sense because there is less to go through to get them updated. That being said, there are several threads in the T-Mobile S8 forum here as well as the general S8 forum dedicated to carrier switching, which can guide you in turning your unlocked model into a T-Mobile model, for all intents and purposes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
The guy that replied first is really correct! T-Mobile store won't flash any phone, don't go beyond simple troubleshooting. It is easier to fly to Mars, than talk about flashing a device with rep. :) I do hope there are some T-Mobile reps that do really know about flashing, but I just haven't seen one yet.

I am with Unlocked S8 and use it on T-Mobile. I don't have any signal specific issues for example and features such as WiFi Calling, Band 12 and VoLTE all work well. There are few thing that flashing to T-Mobile firmware could give you:

Video calling(to specific phones only)

Advanced Messaging(believe other phone needs to support it)

DIGITS service will be built into the phone dialer.

I was also debating about doing it, but all 3 mentioned features are not wildly available and don't work across all devices and networks. On top of that you will get few T-Mobile apps pre-installed + Lookout app :( + T-Mobile logo when booting up the phone.

We can flash practically anytime we want, so I would suggest you to wait and see how Samsung will treat unlocked devices and how fast updates will arrive. If T-Mobile will do them much better than Samsung, then I will flash myself or when those 3 features above will work across all devices.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] joey4321:
Sorry for reviving this thread, but my unlocked s8 gets slower upload and download speeds than my friends tmobile s8, we are both in NYC and he's getting 100mbps and I'm getting 30-40mbps. I assume they also have specific settings hardbaked in their rom that allows for optimized carrier usage?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] guaneet:
the t mobile firmware comes with 4x4 MIMO and 256QAM. which leads to better signal and faster download speeds.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] joey4321:
Can I flash just the modem or CSC to get the benefits without flashing the whole tmobile rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] raduque:
This is a question I'd like the answer to. I'd like to keep all the Samsung default software features but get RCS, which is the most important thing, and one of the main reasons I'm still using my LG G6.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] guaneet:
i think you'll need the whole firmware to be able to use RCS and the tmob features. i personally think the tmob firmware is better since it has 4x4 MIMO and 256QAM enabled. so better signal and service
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] raduque:
I don't care about any of that. I value the Samsung unbranded experience more. All I want from the Tmo FW is RCS.

Alternately, if they ever support it using the unlocked S8 FW, i'll switch back to my S8 in a heartbeat. My G6 seems to get tons better battery life anyway for some reason.

There are multiple sections, but I believe you need to look under: Flashing Standard Firmware, but do ask, just in case.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] kdoweb1:
I believe you have to use the "flashing unlocked firmware" because the prince's version of the ODIN will bypass the ROM checksum and let you flash any variant you want. if you use the normal ODIN and you are going from unlocked to t-mobile (950U1 to 950U) ROM it will fail.

I used to be on the unlocked but now I'm running t-mobile rom to have multi-line baked in to the native dialer. and my service provider SW ver. shows TMB/TMB/XAA

All is good and I'm happy with the ROM after few days the battery life seems the same as the unlocked version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] drpudding:
i just want to know if i can keep the bloatware free and just flash the modem from tmobile firmware.

i just want wifi calling, volte, 4x4 MIMO and 256QAM. i dont care much for the multi line feature cause not useful on my end and idk about rcs because the person on the other end needs to have it and i dont really see it as useful.

lol s7 bloatware free firmware was so easy to flash compared to this xD

im running the att variant but im sure all the hardware is the same. so i dont see why the unlocked firmware wouldnt support this out of the box.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] kdoweb1:
When I had my S7 Edge I was able to mix and match different ROM with different modem files ie I would be on the unlocked ROM with the tmobile modem and was able to use the unlocked firmware with t-mobile radios. This is what you want but I have not tried it with the my S8 you can try if it dont work use the prince's ODIN to take you back to stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] drpudding:
yea thats what ive been doing. i just want a blotware free phone but use the tmo features apart from multi line. i just flashed the u1 firmware now so lets see what happens
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] kdoweb1:
I believe you will have wifi calling and volte but not 4x4 MIMO and 256QAM. i think MIMO is activated in the modem itself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] drpudding:
hmm i could try to flash the tmobile modem onto this firmware. but yea i do have volte and wifi calling. idk how to check for 4x4 mimo and 256qam
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
Isn't "flashing unlocked firmware" means that you have a carrier provided phone and want to flash unlocked firmware on it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] kdoweb1:
Correct, but it also works the other way around. Anytime you want to change variant you must use the modified version of ODIN as it bypass the checksum or the flash will fail.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] zone23:
I'm currently downloading the TMB firmware to extract the CP file so I can flash the radio. I see a lot of talk about this but doesn't look like anyone has confirmed or denied that this works. I have read other post that say this is what needs to be done if you ever want to use 4x4 MIMO and 256QAM on the unlocked S8.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
I personally took the whole T-Mobile firmware and flashed onto my US unlocked S8 recently. Didn't want to experiment and just disabled/uninstalled very few apps and hid "device unlock app" because it couldn't be disabled. I haven't seen any changes in performance or in network speed or even quality. I may need to go different places to see if there are some towers that would give me better speed.

Yesterday me and my co-worker were at work and he has the same unlocked s8, but he didn't flash it. We checked the signal strength and band. So my phone with T-Mobile firmware stayed at band 4 with 1 or 2 bars max. His phone had full bars, but was on band 12. This leads me to believe the T-Mobile's modem tries to hold on to an antenna/signal for as long as it can before switching. It is good if there are no other antennas around, but if there is another much better band/signal, why stay at that?! I think T-Mobile needs to work on the threshold of the signal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] zone23:
I don't really want the entire T-Mobile firmware if I can avoid it too much bloat to remove. After I flash this if it seems worse then I will just flash the stock unlock CP (radios) back. Also I don't want to flash the T-Mobile because I don't want to have to set my phone up again. I will backup with SmartSwitch but still seems like a pain. My biggest question is if the towers in my area even support 4x4 MIMO and 256QAM so don't have a way to see if its even working.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
I totally understand that you wan to avoid carrier's ROM :) I believe(read it xda) some users were accessing service menu on the phone + they might have had knowledge on how the signal works. Will your phone be able to get OTA updates if the modem ver. will be different?

By the way, I have backed up using Samsung back up and most of the items were set up on a restore. Some settings, folders/shortcuts on homescreen. I had to re-order notification panel items, sound/display settings to my liking.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] zone23:
From what I read I think I would need to flash the Unlocked CP take the update then flash back to T-Mobile and if T-mobile ever updated the radios I would have to download that firmware and extract the CP again. Sounds like a pain when I type it out. In other words I would have to return to the original CP to take the OTA thats what I read anyway.

Do you use Samsung Pay and did it restore? One of my biggest issues is setting that up again. Sounds silly I'd rather download and bunch of giant files and do a bunch of flashing then set my bank account back up. LOL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
Oh, I can't comment on Samsung Pay, as I don't use it and even deleted the app. It isn't convenient to set up apps again. I know that the cloud back up indicates that it backs up apps+data, but I haven't seen it happen :) If it is 1st party app, that could possibly be true.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] zone23:
So far what files to download and flash have been about as clear as mud. Sure i will figure it out eventually.

Edit: Follow up (even though others don't).

So I flashed the CP from SM-G950U_1_20170428145426_jaznkd2nz3_fac.zip without issue, no engboots or nothing just used Oldin.Prince.Comsy. It seem to work and it looked like I had the T-Mobile radio but I couldn't tell if 4x4 MIMO and 256QAM was working.

SO then I just flashed all of T-Mobile ROM just straight up using Oldin.Prince.Comsy and that worked fine no issues, well maybe one I flashed directly over my existing software and on first boot apps crashed like crazy so I did a factory reset from recovery then restored my backup, then reset "settings" form inside the phone. Worked perfect now I have full T-Mobile. Still don't know if 4x4 MIMO and 256QAM is working. Its supposed to be available in my area so I will keep looking.

Thats my story in this lonely dead thread. PS thanks guys for following up on your experiences really helps out /s..
