Back in the older Samsung phones and tablets, you could odin the "stock" Samsung firmware over the carrier firmware. I did this with my S7, S6, and Note 6. Has anyone tried this with the Note 8 yet? I am going to attempt tonight when I get home, just wanted feedback from anyone who has tried. In my personal experience, it was the best way to rid of bloatware.
I was on EVR EE firmware and changed it to XEU firmware with no problems
@pnr2020 is the XEU firmware the no-carrier version?

On the Galaxy S7 phones in the US the hardware was the same and you could flash other carriers firmware on the phone when you take the phone to another carrier. Do you think you could do that with the Note 8. I see that the unlocked Note 8 is $30 cheaper than the carrier versions. If I can save $30 bucks that would be awesome.
I did that on my s7 edge. My friend did on s8 and s8+. It would be a shame if note 8 does not support it.
I don't see why not. Been able to do that with note 4 of mine.
Anyone done this? I see that 950U1 firmware for XAA CSC is out there on updato and sammobile.

You can do it , But you have to wait for the version comes out for our devices.
I am about ready to test the sprint firmware on my unlocked version...I was waiting for the unlocked formare to go live so I can revert back if needed.

Isn't the XAC (Canada) firmware needed for carrier switch because of the USER_DATA portion?

I'm thinking I might need to have the CSC be "XAA" for the purposes of Samsung Pay on the N950W model.
Hi
Anyone has similar issue? Sammobile shows firmware update from 19-Feb-2018 but the phone is not showing any update. I checked for update manually and didn't work.
Anyone has solution other than updating using ODIN?
Thanks.

I never seen like that. Sammobile doesn't have any affiliation with Samsung. There is no way they could get the files before Samsung releases them.

I just bit the bullet, downloaded and flashed with ODIN last night.
Was fine and no loss of data, settings or apps.
Have pattern to unlock on and just booted fine.
does the oem script patch work on this build?
I'm guessing this definitely isn't oreo but yet another stupid security patch

Australia has a CSC of XSA as the generic.
It isn't included in the OXM multi-CSC rom as it is different from all others, so no, it isn't multi-CSC...

OK, but only for Oz, unlike the European rom that covers a major area... 4 Vs, what looks like 50...
I bought note 9 (N960USQS1CSD1 - Snapdragon - United States) and i installed pie update with one ui.
unfortunately, my device does not have Turkish language, for this I need to install european ROM.
Are there any solution suggestions?
Have you tried installing any updates using Odin?
No i don't. This is stock software. And can't see any updates on sammobile website.

so, your end goal is to add Turkish to the available languages on your phone?
btw, here is the latest note 9 firmware for a vzw phone
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g...e/SM-N960U/VZW/download/N960USQS2CSGB/287051/
As the title suggests, I haven't been able to find anything just tmoble
From what i understood while helping a few snapdragon users, AT&T firmware handling is done through them and not Samsung. Considering how snapdragon is a month or two slower on releases to Exynos, with AT&T you seem to get another layer of delay.
Nevertheless, you can always flash the Unlocked (SM-N960U1 XAA) firmware to it, but i would assume you'd lose a few AT&T features specific to their CSC.
Have been looking for any US based version of the update and still nothing yet. Hope we see something soon. I will be honest I want wireless DeX.
Weirdly, AT&T got 2.5 yesterday, before the unlocked one.

No SM-N9600 has got One UI 2.5 yet. The latest one is TGY (Hong Kong) ETJ5, but that's still One UI 2.1. We still have to wait for a FXXX firmware.
I'm on Spectrum and this is the latest in the month I've gone without an update. Im guessing there was a bug in first build, maybe thats why the release of the 2nd and the delay?

You can download it using Frija.
Is there a way to download the firmware for these? I am looking at using odin to flash this demo model I got my hands on. Any help is appreciated
It's highly unlikely you will be able to do this. There is probably hardware differences and maybe even some hardware components omitted completely. I've previously heard about some demo smart watches not have GPS hardware in them for example.
I'd be surprised if you didn't get an error when attempting to flash commercial firmware.
I've provided firmware to someone before, who flashes it on demo models. I'd have to try and find the conversation though, as I don't recall the details offhand

I don't know. I have a source who can get me firmware for any USA Samsung model, but that's not a USA model. So I can get R915U firmware, but not R9150.
And I don't know of any other websites that host watch firmware
Pars Hamrah posted Combination Firmwares for few chinese GW4 and GW5... but its useless...

No idea if somebody from China found chinese Stock Firmware for any GW4 or GW5...
Btw...
Chinese Models have Bootloader unlock in Reboot Menu?
Or similar locked like US devices?
