i ended up switching to a note 8 last week and i cant get updates even though i am using an att sim card on an att phone, this phone was given to me by a family member and it was frp locked but i got it unlocked, it was on the march update but because of the great people of xda i was able to update it through recovery to the april update, i couldnt go any further because i updated too far on bootloader 3 and couldnt get upgraded to bootloader 4 or 5, i tried odin but it will either immediately stop after clicking start saying 0 succeeded fail 1 but it doesnt have the red fail message and other times it will just be stuck on setup connection or initialization and i cant get it to work at all and i would like to get updates because maybe the note 8 will eventually get android 9(will be very late but it will be time to switch carriers anyways by the time it comes out)

I was able to get it to detect my phone but it still either freezes at setup connection, intialization or it will fail with a complete write operation fail error or a device info error, and most of the time it just stops after setup connection and doesn't continue, I have tried several usb ports and cords and I don't have another computer to use right at this moment, I was able to flash my s7 just fine with odin 3.13.1 so I have no idea why my new note phone is being a pain in the a**

How about smart switch on the PC? Does it recognize it as well and can you do a firmware recovery using smart switch?
Last bet I would bring it to a Samsung shop and get them to fix it under warranty.

It doesn't even say there is an update in smart switch, the phone works it's just I can't get otas from att even though I have an att sim card and the phone is att branded, it's just a minor annoyance because I would like to have the latest version and have it be able to be updated maybe it's because the phone is still in the 7 day rmm lock state

7 day rmm lock state? Are talking about the OEM unlock switch in developer options? That's only for the exynos models Sm-n950f/ds. You won't get that on snapdragon because you have a locked bootloader. So rmm and the 7 day wait period doesn't affect you. But if its something else, sorry.
Your device is SM-N950U1 or SM-N950U?
Maybe take it back to att and see if they have any luck on updating the phone if not ask them for a replacement one.

So the rmm lock on the note 8 and above keeps you from enabling oem unlock for 7 days which could keep odin from flashing any firmwares official or not. My model number is N950U
If I can't fix it myself I'll just deal with it for now and get it fixed later because its not really bothering me too much other than I just got this phone from someone else

Yeah, but the thing is that the oem unlock switch might also be a switch that allows flashing official firmwares because it was also kinda like that on my old phone in the sense that if it was checked not only was factory reset protection disabled but it also allowed me to flash official firmwares without as much trouble, but I'm not really sure so correct me if I'm wrong

Okay you'll need the comsey Odin to flash the sm-n950u1 firmware on your sm-n950u model.
Do a search on how to convert sm-n950u to sm-n950u1.
On is Samsung carrier unlock version and the other is carrier version. (Doesnt mean bootloader unlock, both are bootloader locked)

Samsung changed that since the s8 days. SNAPDRAGONs won't get the OEM unlock switch at all anymore it's useless now so you'll never see it in developer options because they locked down the bootloader for the USA/Canada models which are snapdragons.

It's just a modified Odin that skips the device model check. Be careful though.

You'll better be on bootloader v3 then because if you'd on bootloader v4 you can't downgrade to nougat.
To find out the bootloader version it's the 5 number from the right of this n950usqu"5"crg7 notice the "5" that's the bootloader version.
You can find by baseband in about phone software info or dial *#1234# (look at the ap line)
You can go up but you can't go down!

I have a N920p Sprint Note 5. It had 5.1.1 i rooted it and flashed 6.0.1 stock rom with Odin. I then rooted that and have flashed DarthStalker and MoAR. I had Moar on it and had someone remote unlock it. It wouldnt accept my tmobile sim still. It wasnt saying Invalid sim just wouldnt connect to any network, so I reflashed stock rom with odin and had it remote unlocked again. Suposedly its unlocked right now but when Tmobile sim is inserted it will not connect to network. Ive tried changing the mode and multiple APN settings. My question is if a phone is unlocked why does flashing the phone with a different rom relock it. and can anyone tell me what I AM DOING WRONG. I contacted sprint about having them unlock the phone before I had it remote unlocked and they said that they unlocked it but it would take 48 hours I waited and called back and the new rep said phone as already unlocked but it would still say invalid sim when i inserted my sim card. Pulling my hair out here. HELP?!

I think the benefit would be if the carrier doesn't release timely updated but Samsung releases it for the unlocked device. Or to get rid of bloatware preinstalled by carriers.

Correct. You must use a custom odin version to flash the unlocked version and the regular/latest odin to flash the carrier version.
And no it will not trip knox period.

A bloatfree stock Samsung rom. So no tmob/att/Verizon apps, unlimited hotspot, a few other things too but depending on the carrier you might not have voLTE , Wi-Fi calling, RCS, 4x4 mini, 256qam.
I stuck with the stock carrier rom because everything just works.
Updates are usually quicker with a carrier rom, but lately Samsung is releasing unlocked updates within a week after carrier
I've been using the unlocked firmware for a few days and it's been great. The bloatware took up at least a few gigs of space and I got those back with the unlocked. I also feel my battery life is better but could just be a placebo effect. Regardless I'm glad I did it.
I may flash it. Although, I do have Xfinity Mobile, and I was shocked that nothing Comcast came on the device.

Hello,
I have flashed unlocked firmware to network unlocked T-Mobile Note 8s without tripping Knox yet.
I have also flashed specific CSCs to T-Mobile Note 8s without issue.
In each instance I used the Prince Comsy version of Odin.
So if i don't care about Samsung pay do I care of Knox is tripped? I just want AOSP on this stupid note 88
As long as your phone is unlocked meaning it takes any sim card then flashing say BTU firmware which is Samsung own international unlocked version then it will be fine and Knox will not be triggered as it's stock firmware. But big thing make sure your phone is unlocked and not carrier branded locked to a specific network because I understand it will brick your device. Always allow oem unlocking in developer options.

www.sammobile.com goto firmware section and look for your model (eg. SM-G97*U1).
www.updato.com search for your model.
Download samfirm.exe or the Frija app and odin and use either samfirm.exe or frija to download your firmware. Then use odin to install firmware.
This is a Note 8 forum so look at the s10 forum for a guide to go from SM-G97*U to SM-G97*U1 .
I picked up the Best Buy unlocked version. Which I assumed was the Android One version(?) but I'm not seeing anything about it on this phone. Anyways, I'm not familiar with some of the lingo for this phone in the threads, so I'm not sure what to look for compatibility-wise. I came from the S9+ so I have to figure all that out. Is it bootloader unlockable, and rootable? Is it the A1 version? Is there a benefit to changing the firmware to A1(if that's even possible, running 8.1)?
Thanks for all the input.
Android One has the badge or logo on the back. You can use Motorola's website to definitively determine if your phone call be unlocked. Typically, the one from Amazon isn't.

To be clear, you're talking about the bootloader? The phone itself is the best buy unlocked version. I really would like to flash Android One on it, as long as everything is working correctly.
I don't know of anything else besides "unlock of bootloader".
Just be aware, there's no return from unlock of bootloader. You do that process, safety net is broken and modified flag is tripped. There are no factory signed official images provided by Lenovo. If all steps are followed to a T from these forums, phone will always be functional. You have ways around safety net via Magisk if Google Pay is important to you.

I meant as in sim unlocked. Do I need the bootloader unlocked in order to root or flash A1? If I unlock it will I still receive updates and function a normal if I keep it stock rom?
I have been trying to find up to date directions to unlock the bootloader on my phone with absolutely no luck. No where does it say a compatible unlock to work with the new 8.1 software. I would love to install A1 on my sim unlocked version of my x4. I can't find an up to date version to root or anything. It's so annoying that I am about to just return this phone and buy something else. The development for it on here is ridiculous. The communication and instructions are just as bad.

The phone will work with any sim. Though recommend you verify the bands the phone is compatible with the carrier of choice. Unlocking bootloader as it's been said multiple times in these forums, breaks OTAs. Topjohnwu has guide around it:

I'm not understanding what you're saying. Is what compatible? The build number is firmware related which is what I'm assuming you want to switch, between firmwares.
i have got a note 9 which my brother gifted me recently.now the issue is he got an at&t one but where as i live in India.
So,naturally i tried to unlock the phone which was successful . But i use Jio 4G which needs VoLTE ,and i cant find any settings related to VoLTE in mobile networks.So i don't have any incoming and outgoing calls and messages.but i'm getting normal LTE signal and i'm able to browse internet.
and i actually tried to download the Indian version official firmware "N960FXXS2ARL4.zip" but when i try to flash it using odin it is getting stuck at "setting up connection".i have tried doing this many times
so is there anyway i can get this phone to function normally

As far as getting VOLTE and those other features working, I have no idea, but I doubt it's possible.
To make calls and recive messages does not need VoLTE. You can do calls and recive them without VoLTE and same with sms/MMS.
Secondly never unlock your bootloader if you don't want to break Knox apps and Knox chip.

please be aware that i was answering to the fact the that the bootloader can't presently be unlocked.(probably never..but who knows)
in no way does this represent a phone's capacity to be network unlocked.
notice how unlocked bootloader and network unlocked are different terms and are completely different things that have nothing to do with one an other.

your screen shot is blurry.
besure you have android drivers and odin 3.13.1
also please go to system settings/software and give your phone model.

can you flash custom ROM on galaxy s9 Canadian variant?
Model: SM-G960W.
I don't have OEM unlocking option in my developer settings but when I connect my phone to ODIN it detects it and says added.
Boot into odin and look for "Activation Lock OFF" if it says that, you probably can

Please don't answer a post if you don't know the correct information. These devices have permanently locked bootloader and cannot be flashed. All you did is cause confusion
2 years late but it sucks than I can't modify this phone due to bootloader locked
