Debranding unlocked Verizon Galaxy S8 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers

Gurus,
have few issues and can't find any write-up, any help will be appreciated.
Phone built: G950USQU1AQGL Unlocked S8.
Region: VZW
With ATT SIM I get none Verizon SIMS notification, but It connects to ATT and all is fine
Unbranding attempts
Odin: 3.12.7
FW from Updato: G950USQU1AQGL-VZW
1st attempt
Via Odin Installed AP, BL, CP, CSC, install successful, No error.
During update, it stops at 32% and does an erase, it like nothing happened.
2nd attempt
Via Odin Installed only AP, Install successful, No error.
Reset to Factory Setting, Boom now I am unbranded.
few issues:
I get Sprint OMADM - Checking Device status notification, I have to forcestop device setting to stop the notification, need to be done after every reboot. (Help as to why this even showing up)
no more bloatware, but the package includes Verizon & T-Mobile Unlock Request apps (I can Disable)
During setup, Cricket Wireless manager is invoked. why and how to disable. (Need help here)
With ATT SIM installed, Data Transfer and texting is fine, when making a call the call ended immediately after initiation, and calls go directly to voicemail if anyone tries to call me. (will be dealing with ATT on this issue, but if someone has any insight will be great)
Tried this built G950USQU1AQGL-Unknown, but the same results.
what other firmware can I try? can I use ATT for example? if yes which one?
Thx.

After many long calls with AT&T, they weren't able to resolve the issue of calling out or getting calls, their answer to take the phone back.

All I can say is read here and you will learn. As long as the CPU/SoC is the same you can cross-flash. I am reading more and more saying as long as its ARM based doesnt matter, but safer than sorry. Please Note BE CAREFUL (AYOR aka- BRICKing, WARRANT VOIDING, ETC), its a little advanced for beginners.
My experience has been with Galaxy S3 and Note4 & Edge variant.
ALWAYS WHEN CROSS-FLASHING, REMOVE THE MODEM FILES AND BOOT-LOADER FILES. You will have to lurk about xda to identify these files. On older Galaxy Devices could tell you from memory what the boot-loader names are. Samsung in Increasing KNOX Security has added so many partitions its not even funny, its scary!
PS: I cannot and will not help with this project.

Could you do a adb system pull of your N9500SQU1AQC9 device. Im trying to port n920p with the note8 firmware. Nothing else will will port to the SM-N920P but the N9500. Im currently using the teleteam 5.2 s8/with n8 features. I want to go full note 8.

Question Samsung s21 ultra unlocked Firmware Stuck on BUK7

Hello everyone and happy new year, my Samsung s21 ultra unlocked phone on Verizon wireless is still running the BUK7 firmware ,not sure why it won't update, anyone else having the same issue, help would be greatly appreciated
Update hasn't rolled out fully to everyone yet after they halted it. Stop making new threads, just be patient...
I'm on US unlocked with a Mint Moble sim and I got the update after BUK7 which was the BUKF. It was a small <300 MB update, but still with November patch.
If you don't have the update yet, you can download it from sammobile or samfw
But we should bet getting one soon with the December security update. Seems like the SM-G998U1 model with all other CSCs are getting them since yesterday. The unlocked model has the XAA CSC and for that the last update was December 8th to BUKF

Question DECEMBER/JAN UPDATE - S21 ULTRA - SNAPDRAGON - U1

Has anyone gotten the update for the US unlocked version?
This is very strange. I have minor bugs and i was hoping the December patch would solve but it seems the lapse has already begun for this device.
Strangely enough locked versions have received December patch ( Only verizon i think)
If anyone can shed some light... please do and does it make sense flashing verizon firmware on this device.
Hi, is this your version?

I got the BUKK OTA update this morning on my unlocked S21 Ultra here in the USA on the Visible network.
It does have the December 2021 security update and I believe it was around 300 mb in size. I can't tell you what it fixed, since the 120 Hz bug was fixed in a previous update, and that was the only real bug that bothered me.
Just got the January update here in Germany. Lots of stuff updated...
I just got BUKK on my s21 ultra unlocked in the US, I use t-mobile as my carrier. Hopefully the January update comes out with some more fixes soon.
I just flashed my Sprint SM-G998U to a U1 and got the update last night
Bukk... Jan 5th Dec security
Bule... Jan 10th Jan security
hello friends, WiFi calling is not working after BUKK update, is it working for you?

Rooting a Galaxy 9 SM-N960U (AT&T)

I have a Galaxy Note 9 that was originally an AT&T Phone in USA. I purchased it unlocked in Canada and I use it on Fido Network. The Baseband version is N960USQU1CSAA. It is running One UI 1.0 and Android 9. Is there any way to root this phone? Do I have to use same baseband version?
