One last question I forgot to ask! Will updating the firmware this way delete my data, files and contacts on the device? Should I look for a way to back it up?

Thank you so much butchieboy

Ok, so I went ahead and tried to flash it using Odin, but I keep getting an error, after it hangs for a while during connection process.

<ID:0/008> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/008> Complete(Write) operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

Maybe the cable is faulty? Why doesn't it want to connect?

Edit:

I came across this Reddit post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyNote8/comments/890plg/samfirm_odin_usage_guide/

According to step #8 in his instructions

Apparently The only way to update an AT&T firmware is by updating the phone to Oreo via something called "Smart Switch". This is what google brought up

https://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/app/smart-switch

Currently installing and trying it.

Edit2:

Just tried "Smart Switch" and I found out it's not that "smart" after all... It also told me I'm on the latest version..

Edit 3:

Found this link that seems to be for AT&T note 8 but the model number is a little bit different "SM-N950U1" with that added "1" at the end.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] butchieboy:
At&t does not post U firmware. U1 is unlocked firmware. Just download any version of U firmware. USC..CCT.. all are the same. You should be flashing firmware that is S7 or U7. This will update to Pie and there is no flashing backward. Try a different USB port. Whatever version you select make sure to use correct Odin. Use the files that I told you previously...BL..AP..CP..CSC you will get there. Its very easy.

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

And no Smartswitch is not the only way to update. Odin works great. Let my check firmware science

---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

Odin should work. Only try this to get back on track if Odin doesn't work.. this is not the latest firmware but maybe flash this then try to see if Ota will kick in... Just remember once you update your bootloader, you can't downgrade firmware.. so if your bootloader is S5 or U5 you can't go back to S4 or U4. You can only go up or flash firmware that has same bootloader. Download it. Move to SD card. Boot to stock recovery..look for update.zip..Highlight it..flash. Do not extract. This is a zip that you flash in stock recovery. Go to Firmware Science and read the directions before flashing.

https://firmware.science/update/SS-N950USQS5CRI4-to-U5CRIA-UP
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] XDA1515:
Ok so I did manage to flash using the N950USQS5CRI4 from firmware.science but it ended up deleting all my personal files and doing a clean install.. Very unfortunate but I'll live with it.

Following the firmware.science instructions I now realize why my previous attempts with Odin didn't work... I had to put the device into download mode... I feel so stupid for not realizing this earlier I could have saved all my data.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] butchieboy:
That is why I suggested you read the instructions. Sorry I wasn't a little more clear. And yes whenever you use Odin you have to put device in download mode, I just assumed you knew that.

---------- Post added at 05:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 AM ----------

See if you can ota now. If not download the last firmware and flash in odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] XDA1515:
It's ok it was a risk I was willing to take I knew something could go wrong but most of the really important stuff to me is already backed up automatically I lost a few notes and photos and images, videos I collected but really not that big of a deal. My really important stuff are on my PC

I did manage to flash the latest firmware with Odin.

Crossing fingers that hopefully it will take care of those pesky game apps that kept installing themselves because that was one of the main reason I wanted to update in the first place lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] butchieboy:
If you have At&t sim, you will get the games. Most you can Uninstall. If you have Package Disabler use that to disable the apps you don't want. Be careful not to disable system apps
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] XDA1515:
No at&t sim for me.

You know now that you mention at&t I am actually confused about that... I thought flashing a new firmware would remove all the at&t bloatware I don't need. Where are they coming from? Are they included inside the USC firmware? How can I get a cleaner firmware for the note 8?

https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-8/firmware/SM-N950U/USC/download/N950USQS8DTG2/360392/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] butchieboy:
What sim do you have? Is the device At&t..Tmobile??? The only way to reduce bloat is flashing U1 firmware. You have U device carrier locked U1 is unbranded

---------- Post added at 07:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 AM ----------

As I stated, the firmware USC..TMO..CCT are all the same. They provision to the sim you are using.

---------- Post added at 07:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 AM ----------

Your topic header says How to update At&t firmware, but you say you don't have At&t sim. I'm a bit confused. I will sum all this up..

All the carrier locked firmware is the same..meaning U firmware. You can flash any of them. The firmware will provision to the sim you have. The problem with that is I am now confused as to what carrier you have since you said you don't have an At&t sim. In order to get ota, you will need to be on the latest firmware of the carrier you have. If At&t is on a certain build and you flash firmware that At&t is not currently on you will not get ota.

The U1 firmware is unbranded. Flashing this you will not get all the bloat that comes with U firmware. This is why its important to read up on the basics of using Odin, knowing your firmware version..bootloader..and so on. Give as much info as you can about the device when asking for help, it will save a ton of time. And to add there are a ton of people willing to help but having the basic info about what device you have is key so all trying to help can direct you accordingly. Don't take this as me being a jerk..lol I'm just trying to save you some time[emoji106]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] XDA1515:
Nah I totally understand where you are coming from. I don't think you are a jerk at all. ;)

It's an at&t device I bought 2 years ago in the US but I am outside of the US and have a completely different sim from a local company. Therefore I don't use any of at&t's services

Initially I thought I could only update to a firmware that was specifically made for an at&t device or if I want a clean install I could install some custom firmware but it might be buggy and not support all the note features. But now thanks to you I am starting to understand it all better now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] butchieboy:
Have to be rooted to install custom Rom. And since your bootloader is past revision 3 the older root method does not work. But Extreme Syndicate root method does. But since you are not in United States not sure what carrier you are using. And if your not familiar with the root method it could be a little difficult...But not if you read up. The developer Elliwigy is a beast.

SM-N950U Extreme Syndicate Root
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] XDA1515:
Thank you so much for all your patience and information!

It's ok I don't need root on this phone. I have really basic usage with it. I can also live with the at&t bloatware it never really bothered me in the past but since I already made a clean install I thought maybe there's an easy and quick way to get rid of it.

You say I could install the U1 version using Odin without any issues? based on what I read and understood about the numbers and letters the U1 seems like an Exynos firmware

https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g...SM-N950U1/TMK/download/N950U1UES8DTG2/360205/

N950U1UES8DTG2

UE = Exynos

SQ = Snapdragon

I have the Snapdragon model
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] butchieboy:
You have to understand the model numbers and build numbers. U1 is not international.

950U-carrier locked

950U1- unlocked

950F-international

---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 PM ----------

Your looking at the wrong characters in build number

---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------

S8DTG2..

S=security update

8=bootloader version

You have an At&t device. Only worry about United States Snapdragon firmware. Att..Tmobile..USC..Verizon..Xfinity..Comcast. you need to understand the firmware versions. When you are searching firmware in Sammobile, type in SM-N950U1 if you want unlocked firmware. If you want the carrier locked type in SM-N950U. Not sure where your getting the UE from
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] XDA1515:
I read this post by user Kangi26

https://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-note-8/how-to/att-oreo-ota-updates-t3756025

There he made the following assertion:

So I deducted and figured if SQ after the first U meant Snapdragon, anything else at this position would probably mean Exynos.

So when I saw the following firmware with this label N950U1UES8DTG2 I thought it most be for Exynos:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] butchieboy:
Again only be concerned with 950U or 950U1
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] XDA1515:
I just installed 950U1 and everything works perfectly, I also managed to just uninstall all the at&t bloatware

Thanks [MENTION=4496829]butchieboy[/MENTION], been a pixel user and recently got the note 8 n950 version as my second phone. Been following this thread and it really helps to understand it more.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Blissfull:
Hello, sorry to "revive" this, but I want to make sure of something.

I've gotten a N950U from Verizon from the US, supposedly unlocked (I'm having some troubles but that is not something for this thread). But I want to use that phone outside the US, with a non US provider.

I used to think N950U and N950U1 were separate models, hardware wise... does this mean I can get and flash an N950U1 firmware on my N950U vz model and have an unbranded "unlocked" experience with the phone?

And if I can, and should flash N950U1, my original firmware csc, and the carrier shown on download mode is VZW, should I download the VZW csc version of N950U1 ? or can I use USC?

problem with revengeOS

Hi,

i have installed this ROM on vince yday and it works stable. So far most of apps works correctly and smooth.

So far i have found only 2 issues:

1. memory encription is not working. I have tried to use intune encryption or android buildin encryption with the same result. After 10 sec of encription and restart - phone shows that it is not encrypted.

2. The "search" bar on the top of main screen is fozen and does not work at all. i cannot remove/ resize / activate - it does not answer and just take place on my home page :)

Any clues?

Been using this ROM for a while now and just updated to the latest version. I am really happy that I have finally found a nice ROM to use every day.

I only noticed a weird issue happening a few times which isn't really a big deal but I thought maybe I should report it. the navigation line thingy which shows on the bottom of the screen showed up on the left side of the screen for me a few times (only when I was using Telegram). Although the screen orientation was portrait & the gestures still worked as intended in the portrait mode. So basically the line just showed up on the wrong side while everything else worked fine. It got fixed by just going back to the launcher. This only happened a few times after many hours of using Telegram.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Starlight5234:
What launcher were you using? I haven't faced this bug can you reproduce it and send logs on my telegram support group if you can?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] yasanglass:
my own launcher lmao (YASAN Launcher). But it shouldn't be related to the launcher. The navigation bar position was only wrong on Telegram. It hasn't happened again but ill send logs if it happens again. I don't really know how to reproduce it.

I know I am not providing enough information but I just thought at least you being aware of this can help you potentially fix it even tho it isn't really any big deal.
