For everyone trying to get carrier functions on unlocked, call carrier and say that several users are having issues with ims settings and provisioning for carrier specifics, according to your carrier, and ask that they update your settings to include. If tech is not knowing, ask to speak with supervisor and it could be updated like others on these forums...Good luck to you all, specifically att and Verizon users. Remember, you may also need a new SIM if you have been using one from another device...The new SIMS are slightly different, as one rep stated (don't know if true).

I want to do this.. i have a question will this trip knox and will it work for the Xfinity Mobile version? I want to flash the T Mo software .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisusa96:
According to 2 different advance tech support, (what ever that means) I have all my features enabled. If I try to use short cut maker in the unlocked version it says CSC not located on device. If I flash to AT&T version I get the error that something went wrong when trying to set up WIFI calling.

On my dad's unlocked note 8 all I had to do was flash the AT&T software. And his WiFi calling set right up no issues.

So Odd how everyone is having different troubles. It's really shouldn't be this hard. If it's a feature in the phone it should be there no matter what carrier it is. And if it's not available for you it just can't be turned on. This crap of not being there because I bought an unlocked model is bull *hit

I gave up for now and I am on unlocked. Seam to get better battery life on it. I will play some more with it soon.

May be this is dumb question but for me the question that is not asked is dumb..

I understand that the senior members have access to sammobile website where these recovery flashfiles are posted.

Is there any other way to get those file extracted from the phone itself. I am wondering how to get the AT&T recovery file..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
As far as I can tell, without root, we can dump partial but cannot access permissions for other important areas. There are several tutorials on how to dump firmware but they all require root. The devs are getting close to root, hopefully without the 80% battery limit.

I can confirm this guide also works with Xfinity Mobile- with T-Mobile firmware! This method also also either improved my signal or unlocked additional bands. I was only getting 1 bar in my home and now it stays at 5 bars! Thanks to the OP!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jredecop:
Ok, Im getting ready to do this. Few more questions (sorry for the dumb ones, just want to make sure)

1. I have a verizon note 8, flashing it to the unlocked version and not doing any USERDATA files means I'll basically just debloat it?

2. If I want to used this with at&t or cricket, do I need to do the carrier switch thats mentioned in the s8+ forums? (CSC switching) Or can I just insert the sim? https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/snap-guide-flashing-standard-fw-carrier-t3627255

3. Is there any problem going back to the verizon firmware if needed? I'm assuming just flash the verizon firmware with the regular odin (not comsy) and use all files even USERDATA.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
Since Verizon is unlocked and will be on unlocked firmware, inserting SIM and activation with carrier should be all that is needed...be sure to let it provision fully on the SIM.

Going back to Verizon from unlocked should not be an issue, you can flash with Odin or modified Odin...both need UMS/patch 0 to 1
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jredecop:
Great!!! Thanks for all your help.

Dear All,

I wanted to ask a question. I have an unlocked version on preorder and am considering cancelling and reordering the Verizon version. I would like an unlocked phone, but it seems that this version maybe missing the TDD bands (needed for traveling to Asia), but that the Verizon variant has all the bands. Would anyone confirm that this is true or is it that those bands are not activated in the US unlocked phones. If I were to flash to Verizon would the TDD bands be active and are usable? If it's the latter, I will keep my unlocked order and flash when I get it someday! Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] burrzoo:
OK, tried a few things:

1) Tried to flash the ATT Unlocked Firmware on my Stock AT&T Note 8 and it continually failed with Both Regular and Comsey Odin.

2) Successfully Flashed the SM-N950UI (Unlocked) firmware on my Stock AT&T Note 8.

-->No WIFI calling setting even available or Visual Voicemail and (I believe) No HD Voice. Visual Voicemail App from the Play Store works just fine though. . Couldn't find much or get Wifi calling to work using Shortcut Master (lite) either.

-->"IMS registration status" states "Not registered" in settings. Tried to locate IMS Settings using Nova Launcher "Activity" Widget and didn't have permission to access one of the IMS settings or not found when clicking on another. Couldn't find much or get anything to work using Shortcut Master (lite) either.

-->LTE icon appears but it used to display 4G LTE. I'm getting 2-3 bars where I used to get 1-2 bars on stock AT&T.

--> No issues yet with making or receiving calls, SMS/MMS

--> I now get to use Samsung Smart Call (phone number SPAM identifier) and have enabled Download Booster.

--> I am using a new AT&T SIM card from my old S8+ but haven't tried to call AT&T to re-instate IMS provisioning and I haven't tried a new SIM card either.

3) I did try to Flash just the AT&T CSC file from the ATT Unlocked firmware and it showed as a PASS in ODIN but when the phone rebooted, the install kept failing at 32% and then booted to the install menu. I can't remember all that was listed so just rebooted the phone to the normal state and it worked but also said it needed to install the new carrier settings so I tapped on OK and the phone rebooted back to the normal state again with no AT&T features. Too bad, I had hoped that this would work. I tried a couple of times but still failed at 32% when installing.

I might just try to flash that Unlocked AT&T firmware again. Maybe it will now work over the US Unlocked firmware...

If it doesn't work then I'll probably wait to see if the AT&T Userdata firmware file becomes available before I try anything else. I want to use the phone as is for a few days to test it out in its unbloated state (which is really nice!)!

If anyone has any other ideas just let us all know!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
I know that several have been told by technical support that they need SIM's that have not been used for any other devices and that they need to add the imei to their database...is there a difference between the XAA (AQH9) firmware and the ATT (AQH9)? I thought that it was the same just different csc...when I look at the name and size of the files, they seem the same...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] burrzoo:
I was able to flash the ATT Unlocked firmware over the US Unlocked firmware. The only thing that I can tell right now that's different is that I lost the Download Booster setting. Otherwise I don't know if there's any other differences. I tried to flash just the CSC from the US Unlocked firmware and it was successful in Comsey Odin but once again failed at 32% upon install. I guess I should have taken a screenshot of the failed nfo with my other phone. Oh well, already spent hours on this and resetting everything up.

I never saw it posted anywhere but should I have removed my SIM before flashing? Maybe that messes things up?

I knew it would wipe/reset my phone but maybe you should mention it in your OP.

Before I do what you suggested and give ATT a call to provision the settings, I do have a new unused ATT SIM that came with the Note 8 so I'm going to try and get it activated online Here:

https://www.att.com/shop/easyactivate/coamoffdevice/deviceinfo.html and see if that changes anything. Before I do that though I was to Flash the US Unlocked firmware and see if I can get back the Download Booster.

Thanks!

[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] marty123:
Not sure if this is your problem or not, but to get music, GPS prompts, etc. from my Wing to my mono Bluetooth headset (Jabra250V), I used a utility called btaudio. Not sure at the moment where exactly it is located, I've seen it both as a .zip and a .cab file. A quick search should locate it along with more information.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] slimag:
hmm but wep200 is just not compatible with a2dp.. to use it to listen music you may use bluemusic, bt toggle or bt audio toggle (and im think there is a few more programs) but the quality is (i couldnt find a word) awful.

i didnt try a2dp on itje's roms but it works "out of box" on opentouch 3.0(same build) and pdaviet 6.1

im using motorola ht820 headset which ofcourse support a2dp.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] papamopps:
yes for mono ofcourse

BUT we are searching for the ability of using the built in A2DP - that is stereo sound and can only be used by stereoheadset...

thanks ;)
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] marty123:
I don't believe the title of this thread accurately describes the poster's problem, hence there are two trains of thought on the solution. The A2DP in Touch-IT wm6.1 Black is one issue, the other being getting the WEP200 headset to work with audio other than phone calls. As slimag posted, his headset is not compatible with A2DP, so any work along those lines will most likely NOT help choodyessas. I choose to try and help with their underlaying question.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] choodyessas:
Sorry if I confused you guys

Sorry if I confused you guys but I believe my headset WEP200 works with A2DP because I tried on Open Touch wm6.1. I didn't set A2DP tho... I am not sure if the ROM cooked with it but it worked. The real problem is that I can not use Open Touch because my wing freezes ALL the time.. so I'm more into itje's ROMs..
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] R_phAn:
So uhm.. sorry for not responding to the original TS - but am I to understand that there are bluetooth stereo issues with the 6.1 WM roms?

I bought a sony ericsson ds980 stereo bluetooth headset the other day. My phone is currently being repaired by HTC (at least, I hope it is) - I intend to flash Itje's latest wm6.1 ROM to it the second I have my mighty Herald returned to me.

But... WM6.1 doesn't work well with Stereo Bluetooth you say? Even with the suggested fixes in the posts above?

You can also download and use the Verizon Messages+ app if you want, that seems to work. It's strange, even the Android Messages app doesn't receive animated GIFs.

I called and spoke with Verizon support; they said they don't have any information from Samsung on the stock messaging app, or anything similar, since the phone is so new; they recommended calling Samsung support. I haven't had a chance to do so yet, but I will post what comes of that attempt.
