I Flashed last night and everything is working well. I was just wondering if you had a changelog for the latest update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] adzify106:
Hi all,

I'm in Australia, while in the USA I broke my phone and got an SM-G892A. From doing a lot of research I now understand AT&T are very unhelpful and do not allow updates to be pushed even for unlocked devices overseas. Considering a lot of the updates are for security I'm very surprised by this.

I've notcied a few tiny bugs here and there with apps/OS and figured updating my device/OS is the way to go and might resolve the issues. I guess the easiest way to get the info I need is to put the questions I have individually, as my mind tends to jump all over the place when I'm working a problem:

1. Is there any way to get my phone updated without rooting/flashing the phone?

2. If not, what is the best option for a S8 Active? Are there any firmware versions that will enable OTA updates so I don't need to keep flashing everytime new firmware is released? I have seen some posts about T-Mobile being able to be flashed over an AT&T model or even the G892U or maybe a custom firmware that allows this?

3. Will rooting/flashing interfere with any of the carrier settings etc? Don't want to upgrade it only to find it disables an LTE band or something?

4. I am an absolute noob at flashing, have never done it but am pretty tech savvy so if there is a step-by-step procedure I wil have no dramas following it. Saying that, I would rather not make the device worse than it is so I only want to follow tried & tested procedures if that makes sense, I don't want my device to be a lab-rat.

5. If there is no way to enable OTA internationally as per Question #2 when new firmware updates become available on XDA will flashing a new update delete personalisation/settings/files etc? Or will it retain them and update like a stock model performing a firmware upgrade would? If not, that would be a pain in the ass and time consuming to have to re-apply settings and reinstall apps every time and almost makes the idea of flashing unattractive.

6. I have baseband G892AUCU1AQG4 - taking into account Question #2 what is the best way to move forward? Considering Android 8.0 is available for the S8 Active and has been available for my model from AT&T since March 1st, 2018 apparently I'm hoping there might be some way to move towards that.

Hope someone might be able to help clear this up for me, thanks in advance!

But does anyone have fresh links to where I can download.

G892AUCU2BRC5 - BRD4

G892AUCS2BRE3 - BRF2

BRF2 is the latest ?

So I can do recovery mode updates for my phone since I'm in Europe.

As i can see from the naming there is U that means update not security patch right? is there 8,1 oreo already for AT&T S8 active?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zsolti256:
These are beta updates, because on the offical ATT site the G892AUCS2BRF2 is the last one. Usually with beta updates banking and payments apps do not work, the safenet test fail. Dont get me wrong, everything else will probably work, but banking and pay apps won't.

You should put a warning next to the links, because of this. Also if one of these will contain a bootloader, there is no way going back unless there will be a newer odin file to download.

I would advise people to always check the latest here, https://www.att.com/devicehowto/tut...3?make=Samsung&model=SamsungG892A&gsi=yT2ZNVI

and then go ahead here with flashing in recovery after.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] twizt3d:
I agree with most of what you said, however i think a few of these are safe assumptions. Some people may not know about playstore certification / banking apps. However if you are here in the first place you probably know a thing or two about flashing... so therefore you should be able to tell whether the bootloader updates by the file name.

To add to this, checking the latest official is not always beneficial. In this case septembers beta is required to flash up to october. So if you were on the latest official which is august, this would fail. But again, a new beta build does not always mean a new months security patch. So you really need to check what build you personally are running, and what the actual upgrade path is, if you intend to flash. So the latest official can be rather irrelevant.

How do you know if it is beta or not?? Because the most recent official update is always on the ATT website(according to this the 3 update files since aren't official).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] twizt3d:
Thats correct. I suppose the easiest way to tell is by checking playstore certification. And its not that these arnt official patches, thats kind of a bad term. These are from att, they just arent the final patch for the month that goes live.

There was a root for bl1 and bl2 way back when. But it used either a comb or eng ap file. I mean it was rooted....but not the best method of rooting in my opinion. Most current us samsung phones are just not rootable these days because of the locked bootloader. I personally gave up on rooting with my s5. I attempted with the s7 but wasnt happy with the results. Never tried again.

Just my opinion

Hello everyone, I have just bought a S8 active model G892A, firmware 3BGR1. I'm in Vietnam so I know OTA is not possible, I have read every page of this thread and I understand that I can upgrade my phone to latest firmware BRL1 as shown by twizt3d. I know the risk of losing data but I don't care about that. So my questions are:

1. Can I really upgrade my phone SAFELY to BRL1 (from BGR1) using Odin 3.13.1? Without any bug, safetynet fails, uncertified, etc ...

2. When Android 9 comes out, can I upgrade firmware by this way (with Odin) again provided that we all have the firmware files to download?

Thank you all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] twizt3d:

I'm now using it in vietnam without any problem, vietnamese 4G band is 1800 (band 3), and will be available on 2600 (band 7) in the next few months I think, so the radio should not be an issue. Thank you.

I think I should keep sticking with BRG1 until Android 9 comes out.

I would not mind updating if there were OTA files for manual update, but there is only full firmware. I don't really care about losing data on my phone because I don't have anything important. However, reinstalling configuring apps take times, so I'd like to wait for Pie to come out rather than upgrade just security patches.

Hey guys. I just wanted to verify with you that it's okay to install t-mobile's firmware over at&t using oden. I unlocked my s8 active and switched to t-mobile a year ago. And of course haven't received an update since. I plan on staying with t-mobile and have no interest in rooting this phone. I would just like the most recent updates and security updates.

Thanks twixt3d!

Between yourself, 3Pelin and Madscientist's posts I have been able to update my SM-G892A from G892AUCU1AQG4 to G892AUCU3BRL1 :D

My only x2 remaining questions are:

1. I read a guy who was in a similar situation to me. He had an unlocked AT&T Samsung S8 G950U and switched to T-Mobile. T-Mobile was able to get his S8 updating OTA. Is there anyway to get OTA working with another carrier or internationally? I called my carrier here in Australia and they said they have nothing to do with OTA updates they claimed it is all pushed out by the Manufacturer (Samsung). Can't the phone just get it direct from Samsung/Google when it does an update check for the model/baseband, sees a newer version available and download it over Wifi?

2. When flashing is there anyway for me to get rid of the AT&T branding/bloatware and enable Wifi Calling etc here in Australia? Is that what the USERDATA file is and if so what do I need to do with it?

TIA :good:

EDIT: Found this post about 'switching to any carrier' but not sure if this is what I need? Is carrier switching the same as removing bloatware/branding:
