I have a Xfinity S8 phone
g950USQS2BRB1
Build NRD90M.g950USQS2BRB1
These number says they are Verizon versions, so I am inclunded to assume that not only is my phone a Verizon phone just sold by Xfinity, but it should take the Oreo update also. I tried to ask it to check for the update, but no updates downloaded. so I want to do ODIN
Anyone try this?

So I am thinking about going back to stock, so I went to Sammobile to see what the latest is. It shows a firmware FLP1 from 1/17/17. I'm surprised I don't see any reference to it here on the forums. Is it just a a security update? Has it been rooted?
I can't find it.Can you send the link?The latest i found is epk2.

"flp1"does not exist for n910t i double checked at sammobiles.com. PK2 IS THE LATEST.
probably "flp1" is for other model not t-mobile note 4.

You're both right. In my carelessness I was looking at the Note 3 on Sammobile. Sorry for the confusion. But at least I know now there's an update for my aging Note 3.
Works great...wifi calling works, carrier branding with Sprint logo on boot...WiFi calling works...strange that the install did not wipe my user data... VoLTE works by default...maybe enabled after I enabled wifi calling??? For outgoing and incoming calls...very stable...though my dark theme doesn't look right on some settings screens.
RCS works natively in the Samsung messages app.
Can not edit APNs anymore though the old methods though.
Any other Sprint users try this out???

Just curious how or why the Sprint branding was installed onto your U1 unlocked note 9. Or was the Pie version you installed a Sprint firmware specific one? Thanks.

It was not before the Android 9.0 update... Android 8.1 did not show any branding, but the Android 9.0 does. Similar to how the Samsung s8 was when you could switch carrier branding on the fly

This is what's confusing me to be honest. My T-Mobile Note 8 U model rebranded to Sprint when I inserted a Sprint sim card. I didn't think U1 models did this for the note 8 /S8 or 9 ? I thought brand switching only worked on unlocked carrier branded U variants.

You have to use shortcut master to launch the activity manually... VoiceNetworksActivity...see screenshots. The old activity shortcuts no longer work on Pie.

its a U firmware.. you can convert from U1 to U firmware.. All the firmwares are multi csc.. meaning you can install a VZW firmware for example on a sprint device and ull get sprint branding as it will use spr csc when it recognizes the spr sim card

It's a U firmware what? Reference your first sentence.
I'm aware that any U firmwares are compatible with the USA SD devices. However, my question was about OP flashing his U1 non carrier specific SD device to Pie and it branded to Sprint apparently. That's the part that confuses me.

I was on whatever rom came with the phone when I bought from Samsung..
Then flashed the rom in the instructions to install the Android 9 pie J1 firmware. Before I had a Samsung splash, now I have a Sprint splash.
Well, as the title says, when I enter settings and then system updates, it starts to search for an update, but the after like 20 secs it stops and says "We have troubles authenticating your device, please try again later"
My note 9 is model SM-N960U and it's original carrier, is Verizon. I'm in Mexico tough, but it is unlocked, maybe that has to do with the problem? Any help appreciated.
I have a unlocked 960U1 with Verizon and am in the US. No update available. Maybe it is rolling out to Mexican customers only?

You don't lose VoLTE on unlocked firmware unless you have ATT. Think OP said he was on Verizon. It works fine. Wi-Fi Calling would be lost (which is weird since they got that working on unlocked with S9 series, too).
Not sure what carrier he is on he said it was a Verizon phone that's unlocked but he was in Mexico so he might be able to get it I am on att and didn't know other carriers let you have volte thanks for the correction

Oh maybe that's where I should've started. Sorry.
To be clear, the phone is from Verizon. The active CSC is VZW, as I mentioned, the phone is unlocked and I use it in Mexico with TELCEL carrier, i DON'T have VoLTE nor wifi calling (TELCEL only has VoLTE) the model is N960U. Do you think there is a way to get VoLTE and/or flash an 960U1 software even though mine is 960U?
Thanks for your responses

Nope. Probably within the next month I hope.

Just for reference,the Note 8 on T-Mobile didn't get a stable build until May '18 (April '18 version got pulled,buggy).
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-36189
Since the Pie update isn't even on T-Mo's radar yet,I'm guessing we're looking at an equally long wait:

Nope. No bootloader update yet for the note 9 so you are safe to downgrade back to Oreo or even over to u1 firmware if you'd like.

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?
