Idk if this is a repetitive question. is there oreo for the Unlocked variant. Verizon's bloat is draining my battery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] bboii86:
There's an easier way to update instead of using sideload. Just take the update file and transfer it over to your sd card. Then apply the update in recovery by turning your device off and pressing volume up, Bixby and the power button all at the same time. Then apply the update with the sd card option.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] bboii86:
Why would you have a sprint logo? Is the phone originally from sprint? Go to settings, then about phone, then software information and you should see the region of the phone for example TMB/TMB/TMB

i am unable to find that section
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] bboii86:
Ok, if your on BRB1, just update to oreo CRC1 with your sd card and once completed, wipe data in recovery, reboot and once it loads to the main menu, it will prompt you to restart your phone, then your firmware should automatically change to the service provider you're using which tmobile, booting to tmobile.That should do the trick.

Not sure why it does not work. Although I am on oreo, my sim card does not work with the phone

I tried finding a direct link from BRB1 to CRC5, I found them for the S8, but no luck for the S8 plus. So to be on CRC5, you would have to flash back to BRB1, then update from BRB1 to CRB9, then update from CRB9 to CRC5, which by the way has the new March security patch.

Or can I just flash the update.zip?

Ok, install is easy peasy, for me at least, no backing up anything, just hit the install button. However, I am going back to Android 7, seems that adblocking outside of what Android deems acceptable causes your non-google browser to crash. So now, we cannot customize, say what ads we do or do not want, say which apps we do or don't want and are told suck it up. Hate to go the Chinese route, but think next device will be one that I can do what I want with after I pay for it. I did look at the OnePlus 5, but all the write ups I saw say if you travel it pretty much sucks on T-mobile network......real good if you live in the city and don't leave it.

Probably the server is acting up or simply too many people requesting to download the same file simentouesly. I would wait a few minutes and try it again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] bboii86:
You could, I don't see why it wouldn't work. It's still the same bootloader and there's a direct link from CBR9 to CRC5. Then again, I haven't tried it and I don't know if anybody else has given it a try. So I can give you a 100% confirmation of that it will work. But to be on the safe side, I would flash back to either BQL1 or BRB1, then update to CRC5. In the meantime, I'm going to look into it and see for myself if it works.

Edit: I just checked and it does work. Odin CRB9 and then update to CRC5.

This is going to sound pretty stupid, but is there an idiot-proof walkthrough for flashing the files with Odin? I've used Odin before, but it's been almost 10 years I think. I don't care if my data is wiped, all of my app data is backed up, and my wife's noots are backed up too. ;)

So I've updated my SM-G955U to CRC5 firmware. I have recently switched from VZW to TMB. In my carrier settings it still shows Service provider SW ver. as:

TMB/TMB/VZW

Does the VZW even matter and if so, is there a quick way of changing this to TMB/TMB/TMB or TMB/TMB/XAA? I've seen some guides but they all use very old firmware to do this. Do I have to switch to SM-G955U1 to make this change?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] kieppheubac:
Seem like if u go from N to O or O back to N. IT will delete your data.

But from O to O. Like me, I went from CRC1 to stock CRB9. I still have same data. I used HOME.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] bboii86:
You can't change the last CSC code, no matter what carrier software you switch it to. If your device is displaying TMB/TMB/VZW, it means, that your device is running on T-Mobile software with all its features and apps. Last one means where the phone originally came from. So that device is originally from Verizon, flashed with T-Mobile software. So no, the last one doesn't matter. What matters is the first two.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] bigdaddie:
Thank you so much. You probably saved me hours of frustration.

BD
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus] bboii86:
That's correct. If you're flashing any newer build on any older one, use HOME CSC. If you're flashing any older build on a current or newer build, it will wipe your data. If that's the case, back up your data and use CSC.

After my TMo GS8+ exhibited the "System UI has caused an error" popup and was essentially unusable, flashed a firmware file using Odin. Turns out I may have downloaded the wrong file (G955USQU2CRB9), since when the phone powered back on with no data loss, there was an item in the drawer that read "Spring OMADM" and "Checking device status". It never goes away.

I'd like to install the latest TMo Oreo firmware, and I'm happy to have all the data deleted - ready to start from a fresh load. Is there a firmware file for CRC5, or is CRC5 just an update to a different file?
