To return to original you need to flash the original rom you saved .
Otherwise no Orange firmware only stock Samsung via Odin or possible via Kies Registry spoofing from the thread of that name .

Trying to get back to stock

trying to get back to stock so I followed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13181515&postcount=1
and succesfully got the stock GB from KIES.
but the region is wrong. I'm from Slovenia but it installed the Philipines CSC XTC version and thus don't have the correct locale settings.
How can I get the correct firmware for using it wth CSC: MOT?
KIES has this info:
PDA:JPI/PHONE:JPE/CSS:JPH (XTC)

Flashing Full T-Mobile Firmware Onto Verizon S8-G950U ??

Hi I'm trying to flash the T-Mobile firmware from sammobile.com, but whenever I try, I get an error at 32% when it says Installing System Update. I attempted to flash CSC,AP,BL, and CP with it saying PASS in Odin. I really need the T-Mobile firmware and am wondering if it is possible to do? I determined that I cant install CSC files and get the error when I try. Any Solutions?
SM-G950U
Odin 3.12.3
T-Mobile Firmware:
PDA: G950USQU1AQD9
CSC: G950UOYN1AQD9

I'm having the same problem with an ATT phone flash with the US "U" unlocked version firmware. When I don't flash the csc it will start up only with the USB plug in but shut down after the beginning startup

Search for a "modified Odin". It was what I used to be able to flash unlocked firmware on a 7 and 7 edge a few months ago. The "normal" Odin wouldn't let me do it, but the modified one did. Though you may need to wait until it's been updated....I haven't checked it in awhile.

Still no solution to avoid the error to 32%?

Try this Odin. This is the one I used to flash the Canadian firmware on mine.

I managed with odin version 3.12.5! But only with BL AP and CP!
When I add CSC I get the error at 32%!
So a priori everything works, I no longer have the Verizon overlay (nor the logo at startup) more by cons I have duplicates in the settings menu ...
What is the CSC file?

The Canadian firmware you got it or? On sammobile I find it not:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950U/
The Canadian firmware is stock or operator?
I would have access to all the bands?

Its the firmware with the "w" at the end. Please read this thread for all the information on doing this and make sure you want to do it.

so to do this we actually have to go to the canadian firmware first, do the csc change then flash the Tmo firmware? You can't just flash the Tmo Firmware via the modded Odin? Just to save confusion.
I would imagine it's worth it just to get the proper network options, VOLTE, WiFi calling and such.

This is the exact thread that I used. Follow the steps and you can skip engboot. If you flash the full Canadian firmware, its impossible to reverse. So, only flash whatever is in the steps. I successfully went from Verizon To T-Mobile and then back to Verizon. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/switch-to-carrier-firmware-100-t3609487

This tread also helps, who wants to flash their phones: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/snap-guide-flashing-standard-fw-carrier-t3625817

you flash the stockfirmware of an ireland carrier. figure out the CSC code for a provider of that region you want.( you might try DBT if u dont come up with one)
use samfirm tool 0.3.6(check app logs for any missing dependancies) and download the firmware file using these settings:
phone model: SM-N960F
csc: the 3 letter code of the carrier you want.
use odin 3.13.1 to flash the produce of the extracted file above once finished downloading.( fill in the slots: BL,AP,CP,CSC (for csc use csc.md5 not home_csc...)
you can search for how toos in any of the 2 procedures above.
data might be wiped so beware.

No ota pie update on note 8

Hello, I recently bought the note 8 but I am not receiving any OTA updates on it. Here's the software info on it.
Android version: 8.0
Service provider SW: XAA/XAA/TMB
Baseband version: N950USQS5CRK2
My current location is Pakistan and maybe that's why I am not receiving an OTA. However, I don't know which firmware should I flash to keep the phone unlocked on my current carrier and upgrade to pie. Any help or guidance in the right direction would be really appreciated.
Thanks

You need to flash the unlocked N950U1 firmware version on the phone that way you might be able to receive the updates from Samsung directly.. If you stay on the N950U firmware version (it's T-Mobile that you have) you'll have to do the updates yourself from now on since updates on N950U only come from the carrier's in the USA.. Follow @BlueFox721 directions on this link and you'll be able to flash the real unlocked firmware..

Will this affect any unlocking previously done on the phone? and which version of Odin should I use? it has listed 2 versions a simple and a modded one. And kindly guide me which firmware should I download, there are carrier specific ones and there is one called the unlocked XAA

I have no idea whether it will have any effect on the phone being previously unlocked and I don't think it would since it's unlocked firmware meaning unlocked from carriers already but you never know it could relock for all I know and then you'll just have to unlock it once again.. The directions should tell you which Odin to use and it's the modded version and the XAA is the unlocked version of firmware without the carrier specific crap loaded all over it.. I would ask around about the unlock first though since I didn't have to worry about that I don't know the answer to it..

Hey, thanks for the detailed guide, can you link me to the samfirmware.exe? I couldn't find it so I had to download the firmware from their own website which has an annoyingly slow download speed

Hey, I just searched for samfirm.exe, seems like it is deprecated. However, I saw it was getting the firmwares from samdb.org so I went there and searched for the firmware. Turns out, they have the same slow speed download for free users so I'm stuck here. Do you have the firmware in your PC? Can you upload it on GDrive maybe and send me the link? any help would be really appreciated. I usually get 1.5Mbps download speed but these downloads go only as far as 400kbps :#
