Hi, I have a Verizon S8+ on the Tmobile network. I have Baseband G955USQU1AQJ8 AND BUILD NRD90M.G955USQU1AQJ8. What is the best way for me to put this on my phone?

Thanks in advance. Not sure how to "sideload?"
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Dudash:
I downloaded this firmware, put my device into Download Mode, opened regular Odin 3.12.7, added the BL, AP, CP, and CSC files to their corresponding boxes (use HOME_CSC instead of CSC to not wipe data) and then flash it.

Then to update to Oreo, put the G955USQU1AQGL-to-U1ZQJJ.zip on your SD card, reboot to Recovery, choose Update via SD or whatever, select the zip file, and let it install.

Some people tell you to factory reset using the CSC file instead of the HOME_CSC but I didn't and haven't factory reset after updating to Oreo and haven't experienced any problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ScottBroker:
Thanks,

Ill update in the morning, says 10 hours to download :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
Mine is totally fine. Why would Samsung be letting you update without wipe if it couldn't or shouldn't be done?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dmezh:
The difference is that the official Samsung update is directly from AQGL. If you are coming directly from AQGL, there is indeed no need for a reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
Yes so you flash up to aqgl with everything but csc (home CSC instead) then update.zip to Oreo. I don't know why you think there is such a difference lol. Going from one nougat to another then to Oreo. Everyone that did it in another thread was completely fine. Feel free to wipe though if you enjoy wasting your time
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dmezh:
Thank you for the respectful language.

I'm starting to see this kind of thing pop up more and more frequently, which is sad, considering what XDA is supposed to be all about.

Wipe when flashing a different stack than your normal update line would include - especially when it is older.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ScottBroker:
It wont let me flash it, odin says data mismatch and wont flash the file you posted which said VZW, different from the one in the op
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Dudash:
I found the VZW one since my S8+ is the VZW version so I figured since yours is the VZW version as well, it would work. You can try the one in the OP which I believe is Sprint. If you do try that one, I'm not sure if using the HOME_CSC would work or not. Someone else will have to chime in about that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ScottBroker:
I did use the Hom csc, but I dont care if I have to lose data, I will reset anyway. not sure why the odin wont run. Does it matter what order I put the items in the oden? Bl first..... Home csc last?

I apologize if this is in the wrong area. My issue is I was on Nougat, I done the OTA last night ( I think to beta 3, I dont think 4 had hit yet) and everything seemed okay, but it crashed out to "starting android" with a grey bar under it. After that it just constantly crashed out, never booting. It is stuck at the Samsung logo right now. I can not get into recovery but I CAN get into download mode. Download mode says ERR SWREV with any ROM I attempt to odin in

All I see is

Carrier XAA

RPMB fuse blown

RPMB PROVISIONED

Anyone have an Odin flashable bootloader for beta 3 or 4? Or just the whole set of Odin flashable files. I can't use ADB, I can't get into recovery, so those files are useless to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Reechings:
Use Odin with AQJC files and copy the OTA zips to your SD card. When Odin finishes and resets your phone hold down bixby and volume up key to get to stock recovery. Choose install from SD card. When OTA finishes and phone reboots hold down bixby and volume up key again and go to stock recovery and flash last OTA. If you go to Beta 4 (ZQKM) be aware you won't be able to Odin back before bootloader 2.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] eddiemc12:

Be aware once you update you will not be able to go back to the old bootloader.

Try this, it has worked for a lot of people:

download AQGL software, AQGL to AQJC ota file, AQJC to AQKM files

1.) Odin from whatever your on now to AQGL (flash only ap,cp and bl if you want to keep data)

2.) do not boot into system, boot immediately into stock recovery and flash AQJC ota zip

On your first issue, check your drivers, again, and make sure you have ADB debug enabled, MTP transfer, and have authorized access to your PC.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] whitetrash529:
OK, this might be a silly question but, in posts about updating using the SD card method...how do you force it to power off in download mode to bypass a reboot and to go back in recovery for the updates? The only thing I could find was a forced restart but not a force power down.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Reechings:
I just wait for Odin to reset the phone after flash and hold down bixby and volume up. I also do the same thing after OTA flash if you have more than one OTA to do. If you are stuck in download mode you will have to hold down power and volume down until it reboots.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] whitetrash529:
I tried that a few times. I guess it's just about catching the timing just right with the button combos. And, yeah multiple updates since I'm trying BEta 4

I have an idea on why Samsung pay isn't working. Under about phone and software information (I'm on beta 4) it says software status Modified.

I'm not quite sure why it says modified, but I have a feeling it's because I didn't flash a new CSC when downgrading and updating to flash the Oreo OTA.
