[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] stonedpsycho:
Try doing a factory reset.

Nothing on this thread would trip Knox as it is only official filmware, it has obviously just bugged out on you for some reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sky015x:
I tried factory reset on my phone, but still it shows my warranty is void 0x1, but in my phone status it says it official, i cant used samsung pay, secure folder and also i cant install netflix on google play and on some other apps that had been installed prevoiusly it says that my device is not supported.

Please help me!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] stonedpsycho:

has anyone had an issue with the update? I updated to the July patch today and lost complete network. phone is now unable to identify any sim, cannot go to sim settings, cannot even see the last update made. its completely broken now.

INS CSC.

N950FXXSCDTF4
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chanchal.shohel:
update problem

same here... CSC BNG... totally dead.. OTA UPDATE.. tried odin ... no luck
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kunal_07:
what did you try in ODIN? downloaded the latest BNG firmware and tried it? really trying not to factory reset. did you try that?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] StevePritchard:
It looks like DTF4 might have been pulled - all the CSCs that were showing it, have been removed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chanchal.shohel:
after that problem I thought that my problem...so I download the latest firmware same as India Nepal srilanka and Bangladesh... tried flashing in odin... I flashed 100 time in odin... but this time flashing didn't complete... my phone totally broken... emergency software recovery doesnt work... stuck in blue recovery screen
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kunal_07:
i guess downgrading isnt an option anymore?

so the only option is to wait for samsung to release a new update and update via odin? because the update functionality is broken on this update.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ayush758:
Same here, I updated my phone with the latest update and well the IMEI now shows up as Unknown, cannot open sim settings, tried flashing latest firmware with ODIN but no luck so far the phone boots up but there are no SIM signals, Software update says "registering device" and then fails.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] theboyzrockz:
Same here. Can't figure out how to fix this.

I tried ODIN as well. (N950FXXSCDTF4_N950FOXMCDTF1_INS) BL+AP+CP flashes the phone but the baseband andIiMEI issue is not solved.

If I throw CSC in the mix, flashing fails.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BluePhnx:
Try downloading the XEU or BTU or any other that's has SCDTF1 firmware and use Odin to flash.

That's the only firmware that's on the same "C" bootloader as SCDTF4.

Don't have any issues with the SCDTF1 firmware.

Use samfirm.exe or frija on pc.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ayush758:
I did use frija to download the firmware but, when flashing CSC it returns "system rev check fail device 11 binary 10". That means I am using a firmware with a older bootloader file. Do you have a link to the firmware with the C bootloader as SCDTF4.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BluePhnx:
Make sure you are flashing the correct N950FXXS"C"DFT1 FIRMWARE and using all 4 files (AP, BL, CP and CSC file(home-CSC or CSC file). Don't mix them up with other firmwares files. Since you are on a multi-OXM CSC INS is support. Just use the CSC file you get from the TF1 firmware.

If you are on bootloader ver 11 = B you can not flash firmwares with "A (A = 10)" or lower, can only go up.

edit..

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ayush758:
Right I just checked and i have the N950FXXS"B"DTE1 can you guide me on how to download N950FXXS"C"DFT1
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BluePhnx:
I edited my post with the link to it.

But since you are on "B" you can stay on it and try other "B" firmwares or if you want the latest security patch then download the CDFT1 firmwares.

If I were you I'll try the B firmwares first to get your phone back and running. They are only 2 "C" firmwares atm. Once you flash "C" you can not go back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ayush758:
Okay so I tried flashing the firmware and it Fails when flashing CSC with the following error "System REV. Check fail. DEVICE 11, BINARY 10. It fails while flashing the cache.img. But flashing the system without CSC boots up the phone as normal but with the same problem ( No SIM signal and IMEI shows up as unknown )
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chanchal.shohel:
same here... the worst case is now the phone is soft bricked... any older firmware older than Indian csc does not flashed... that the ****...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ayush758:
Did you try the INS version or the BTU version?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kunal_07:
Tried flashing INS June version and XEU July version. Both had some kind of kernel or bl mismatch in versions. I think we’re stuck until a new update comes out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chanchal.shohel:
tried new CF1 & CF4... all same.. flashing fail...

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ayush758:
Hey can I get a link to the firmware update.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kunal_07:
i dont have the link because samfirm did it. google samfirm and download the latest version. you just need to enter the model number and CSC region and it'll start downloading the latest firmware for your selected choice. pretty simple app to use. you'll get amazing speeds on download because i'm guessing its directly from samsungs server. no need to pay for sammobile etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ayush758:
Ohh okay no problem, I just use frija to download the firmware manually, Thank you for your help though, the phone works as good as new.

[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] GiulioG10:
I've been having this phone for a few months now and at the beginning the quick charge was working just fine but then, suddenly, I'm stopped working. On the screen it said only "In charge". In the meantime I lost the original charger so I bought a new one that supports quick charge but there haven't been any results. Is there an option or something to activate it again? Do you have any idea what might be the problem?
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] K.khiladi:
Check the specifications of the new charger. It should be able to support 5V/2A and 9V/2A. Also check your cable if it supports that.
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] GiulioG10:
This is the charger. The cable is the original one.

Don't you think it's a problem with your phone's charging port?
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Yes that's probable. Maybe, go to the mall, and ask to test your phone with original Huawei quick charger. If it's still not quick charging, then the problem is your phone.
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
No such thing like that.
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
If any service centre nearby, please visit to avail the warranty options. It may be hardware issue as well. Is it happening at the same time you started using the new charger or few days +- ?
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] GiulioG10:
I don't remember it. The fact is that when I tried to use my powerbank that supports quick charge, even if it didn't show up on the lock screen it was indeed charging really fast. Much faster then with the normal charger
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
So how is it now?
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] psbhullar:
Quick charging on Honor 8 Pro is thing of a past. I have tried reverting to Nogat from Oreo, still, the problem remains no matter how many Huawei fast chargers you replace. I have seen many posts spread across different forums mentioning about this broken fast charging. Stop buying Huawei craps, go with Qualcomm devices as it has wide support.

In the past engineering software had unlocked boot loader or permissive SE, first steps to get root. Unless you know exactly what you doing, I wouldn't touch it and wait for experts to find solution, namely root. Engineering software may not be 100% stable or may not let your phone fully charge etc

I was able to flash to Unlocked version FW and removed the bloats but the carrier is still TMB in the baseband .

With this Factory Binary can I make my phone Fully unlocked Version to XAA/XAA/XAA? is it called debranding?

The reason I want have some more freq on unlocked version LTE band that T mobile version don't have. and use some CDMA on 3G

I am hoping there is no hardware limitation on T mobile phone.

Thank you

For debranding you need root...for carrier switching...guide is up and allows you to change clear csc to add intended csc so you can flash intended carrier Firmware without previous carrier info...https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/guide-sm-n950u-u1-t3685884...why do you want to debrand the device?

Thank you Bluefox for reply, I might have wrong assumption that if Fully Unlocked Firmware is also determined by the last 3 digits XAA ( support CDMA band)

I don't have tools to proof it work with CDMA, (unless by registering my device to sprint after flashed to XAA) , as T mobile only support GSM.

Job assignment force me to use some CDMA band while overseas and most of them in job site still use CDMA in 2G and 3G which is not covered by T mobile handset with original FW.

For better explanation of my question , Can I use the handset without Sim Card on Sprint as long as they register my Handset (MEIID/ESN) for Voice service only.? like old time CDMA phone handset?

Thank you again

The only way to get all 3 codes to go back to XAA is to insert a SIM from a carrier that doesn't have their own Note 8. An international SIM would work, for example
