Does anyone use Odin on a Mac? Every time I think I search and find the right one it never works correctly. Outside of building a virtual machine to run Odin does anyone have a suggestion? This is the only reason I hesitate to load these because Odin on the Mac is such a PITA.

Took a TMO SM-G955U -

did my ota's up to CRK1 -

manual update file CRK1 to CRL1 -

ODIN flashed from U to U1 using G955U1UES5CRL2_G955U1OYM5CRL2_VZW -

manual update from 8.0 to 9.0 SS-G955U1UES5CRL2-to-EU5ZSAB-UP

No more TMO stuff. However, I have this nagging

"Sprint OMADM"

"Checking device status..."

What's that!!??? Is that normal? Will it go away if I put a GSM Sim in it. Using it only for Google voice/ Hangouts/ WiFi currently.

Is there a way to stop that service?

Decided to grab the TMO CRL2 U1 file to see if anything changes. Going to flash it via ODIN, then update to ZSAB again. didn't work - Now the fingerprint sensor is not working properly!?

yes, I did this, but there has to be a better solution,. https://xdaforums.com/sprint-galaxy-s8+/help/how-to-remove-sprint-omadm-notification-t3636264

going to see what happens after flashing the TMO version, then look at the CSC solution https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/snap-guide-flashing-standard-fw-carrier-t3627255

So, I know this has been asked in different parts throughout this forum but wanted to try and get a complete answer:

If I upgrade to the latest unlocked firmware, do I lose the ability for WiFi Calling and/or Visual Voicemail through Verizon? I assume I could still install any of the Verizon apps I wanted, just would not have the Verizon splash screen. I guess I don't understand what the disadvantages are, if any, in moving to the unlocked firmware outside of not being able to upgrade via OTA moving forward. Thanks!

~~should probably add somewhere that this method does NOT work with the s8+ G955W~~

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] zirt57:
Sorry dude but you don't know what you are talking about. Just because YOU don't know how to get it working (because you don't know how to read instructions or the difference between flashing with ODIN, doing a OTA upgrade or upgrading via Android Recovery) does not mean it doesn't work. It DOES WORK and has been working flawlessly on my Bell S8+ SM-G955W. Not only that but I now am using the SM-G955U1 version on my phone and am able to go back and forth as I wish (because I CAN). And I'm not the only one with a SM-G955W who is able to do this. Read and learn young grasshopper, but don't post false statements.

*Snapdragon Only* I find it just as easy to answer a question as it is to tell someone to just go find it. Forums are for discussion and help. Anymore questions just ask. There are people here that enjoy helping.

First Odin to U1 CRL2. (This will erase your internal storage) Then install the ZSAB update from SD Card while in recovery. Update found on firmware science. Then do the same with update ZSBB, also found on firmware science.

The updates are quick and easy to get. The Odin links for U1 CRL2 are posted somewhere in this thread. You cant go directly from CSA4 to any Pie Betal. Must start with CRL2.

I recommend going into your samsung account and doing a complete backup first. That way when you're done you can restore your apps and settings through Samsung. I find the Samsung backup better than Googles backup. Samsung remembers home screen pages and icon locations. Wifi Networks, Font info, display settings, Texts, call history etc. You can deselect things like text and call history if not wanted. It gets you pretty close to what you had before flashing the Odin file.

Instead of trying to make this guy look like an asshat, maybe help him find out what he did wrong. That whole paragraph you wrote could've been constructive and fixed my mans problem, he'd of had mad respect for the help. It's the small things these days that'll go very far. I dont understand it. I dont have a 955W or i'd volunteer to help myself.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] zirt57:
Actually I (and several others) tried to help him. Several times. He either didn't read or understand the instructions for getting his G955W to use the G955U firmware. So now he posts that it cannot be done. I get pissed off when I try to help someone and then they post false information. Basically, all he has to do is flash via ODIN the stock firmware for the G955U (G955UOYN5CRL1) then use the updates posted in this thread to get to the beta version of PIE. He tried to ODIN the upgrade.zip file instead of reading the article (he knows where it is as he sent the link to me) and using the recovery method (power/bixby/up volume). So after all the help (I even spent time explaining how to do a full backup of his data before starting out), he posts here that someone should "mention" that it cannot be done. If he had posted asking for more help, that would be one thing. But instead he posted false info and thus my post. Normally I help people but you cannot help those who do not want to be helped.

Later.

p.s. thanks for helping that other guy. :good: I hit the thanks button for you. I was gonna post to help him but I wasn't at my computer (I hate posting from my phone).
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] asggold:
Quick question for you... After reading your post I was looking to see how I could switch my backup from Google to Samsung. However, I do t seem to see any cloud backup to Samsung option in my settings. When I did some research it seems like it is not available on Verizon in the US. I know that is probably not an issue once you move to the unlocked firmware but obviously the backup is important prior to that change. Do you happen to know if there is a way to get the Samsung Cloud option to show up on a Verizon phone?

Not a huge deal as Google should get most but thought I would ask. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RebelShadow:
if you have an SD card in your phone U cal install Samsung Smart Switch and do a backup manually to SD card then restore on new rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] asggold:
Thanks! I also did a quick search and found a way to use the "Quick Shortcut Maker" app and open up the Samsung Cloud option. Basically I did a search for "Samsung Cloud" in the Quick Shortcut Maker app and tried clicking on "Try" for some options below. One of them opened up the Samsung Backup and Restore app and asks if you want to add an icon to your home screen. After that you can get to the app through the icon and it seems to work fine.

What about "Smart View"... any issue:confused:

---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------

Nope. You're to suppose that I have a strange sense of humour.[emoji14] If English isn't your first language, then you wouldn't get the humour and I apologize. I'm running the G955U1 (pie beta) firmware on my G955W & I don't have any problems at all. I started my upgrade from T-Mobile's OREO version if that helps. Hopefully they will release the full version soon and your problem will go away.

BTW, have you tried to disable Sprint's software? Somewhere in the back of my warped mind I seem to remember someone else having the same problem. Try searching this thread. (I would but I'm on my phone.)

Hmmm, I think the first week has come and gone, and the second, and the third...now on the last week. Maybe he meant the first week in April, or May, or June.

Truth be told, it's probably the vendor's that are holding up the release of the update. They are under the blind belief that we will purchase new phones if we can't upgrade our present ones. Guess again Bell, Telus, Roger's, AT&T, T-Mobile etc. Glad I didn't jump the gun. The S10-Ultimate is the S10 that the S10 should have been. Suckers!
