Hey guys I just flashed that leaked Oreo rom for the note 8 and then discovered that Gear VR and Safety net don't work.... Where can I find my stock firmware for my Rogers SM-950W Note 8?
Also will I continue to receive carrier updates once I revert to stock firmware?
Try updato.com or Sammobile or Samfirm(fastest).

Failed to flash stock (XAR) firmware on U.S model
Using Odin. But can flash U.K (BTU) firmware. Why is it failing to flash U.S firmware?
Downloaded from official sammobile site and from
XDA link. Have pics attached.
Can anyone please advice?
Thank you.
It states;
FAIL! (Auth)
why is the authentication failing?
I also stupidly did not do a twrp backup of the original firmware.
Thanks in advance.

It says you are trying to downgrade your firmware. You have revision 2, you're trying to flash revision 1 firmware.
I guess you're flashing the UK revision 2 firmware T713XXU2APJ1?

Do you mean an older firmware can't be flashed?
This is the older failing firmware:
T713XXU1APG1_T713XAR1APG2_HOME.tar.md5
This is the one that works:
T713XXU2APJ1_T713OXA2APJ1_HOME.tar.md5
Or do mean a different model?
What can I do to fix this?
Thanks for your help.
Yes its UK firmware. I got greedy and didn't wait for the XAR version. So do I wait for the updated USA version then flash that?
Thanks again.

Not really anything to wait for. BTU version will work just fine.
If you're that fussed about it changing your csc, extract the cache and hidden images from the xar rom and repack with 7zip then flash with odin.
For what it's worth you must have already had the latest XAR firmware, so not sure why you felt the need to reflash?

It's the WiFi that's the problem. BTU rom has restricted 5Ghz. Won't go above channel 140Ghz. XAR rom unrestricted 5Ghz bands up to 161Ghz or 165Ghz.
If I do what you suggested with regards to CSC would that also give me higher range 5Ghz bands?
Otherwise everything is perfecto. I got it rooted, xposed installed.
I really appreciate all your help. Saved me a lot of time trying to flash Roms like a maniac.

I thought the U.K version is 2 months newer. Now that I think of it, maybe it just came out later behind the U.S version.
Hey thanks again.

I did what you suggested, flashed the CSC and I now have ch 161 working. Less interference with higher channels.
You're the best.
BTW, the BTU firmware has the September security patch.

Hi i have a n920a unlocked gsm and i have Android 6.0.1. I would like to upgrade to 7.0 but ota does not look for updates and Smart Switch does not find them. flashando ap, bl, cp and csc via odin I will lose the unlock for GSM networks? c is some other method to update to nougat?
If your phone is already unlocked, you will not lose the unlocked status if you update the firmware. Use odin.
When I can find this firmware?
I have find a firmware. When i flash with odin what should i flash between ap bl cp and csc?

When you extract the archived firmware file you downloaded, you should end up with a .tar.MD5 file. Put that in Odin's AP slot and flash it.
Thank you. I have find a firmware at&t but I dont like at&t customization. Can I flash the firmware of another note 5 for example n920c?

Samsung support will likely not be okay even if you flash official firmwares through Odin. We once tried this as the Official unmodified Samsung firmware for the S7 broke to due to an official Google Business Android security update which stopped the phone from booting.
Then again, the slimy bastards will try to get out of everything.

When you flash via ODIN all you have to do is flash the latest. No need to upgrade in between.
Can Anyone help me with this please./

If I were you I'd flash the stock USA u1 firmware on it. You can also use the PC based Samsung Smartswitch app to check and update firmware.

It likely has to do with the fact you're using it on a UK carrier and it's made for US carriers. Your best bet is to flash the unbranded U1 firmware.
Ok. Thanks for advice. Can I ask You to post link to newest u1 firmware I can flash? From what I read I am now on newest Pie firmware CSB3 for N960U. Is there U1 Pie version? Could not find any.

Download it with the SamFirm tool and flash it with patched ODIN
Many thanks for all your help. First of all I did factory reset. Than downloaded latest firmware through SamFirm (use [email protected] SM-N960U1 and Region: XAA) File: SM-N960U1_1_20190218084855_4mi2c0zg9o_fac
Than I downloaded Patched Odin v3.13.1 to flash firmware. Struggled initially with Odin ending up on ...SetupConnection.. <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1) but swapping usb cable from Samsung one to Google pixel xl genuine cable solved the problem and Odin finally started flashing procedure. Now just restoring through Smart Switch from backup. When going to Software update now in Settings it checks the Update and reports I am on newest one. So I am assuming it will download now any following OTA. Also got no Sprint or any other bloatware present. Happy days !!
