Sorry I'm new here but I hope someone can help me out
My grandfather recently passed away and had this phone laying around.
I'd like to use it with another carrier and ATT gave me the unlock code to the device.
The thing is the device is running Android 5.1.1 and the build version is from 2015.
Nov. 24, 2015
Android version: 5.1.1
Baseband version: G920AUCU3BOJ7
Kernel version: 3.10.61-5927475
Build number: LMY47X.G920AUCU3BOJ7
Since its not connected to the ATT network anymore, I can't seem to update it.
Apparently the latest updates have been from 2018 and running Nougat.

Hence why I said if they intended to release anymore in the future.
Is there a step by step guide on how I can go about to use ODIN and these files?

This files are from at&t servers, they cannot do any harm to your device,
After you download the firmware extract it, download and install samsung drivers https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows
Put your device in download mode by holding power+home+volume down and connect it via usb to your pc
Open Odin 3.12.3 and click on the 'BL' button, then choose the file that starts with "BL" inside your extracted firmware folder. Next, click on the 'AP' button and choose the AP file inside your extracted firmware folder. Click on the 'CP' button, choose the CP file inside your extracted firmware and finally click on the 'CSC' button, choose CSC file inside your extracted firmware and click START

I figured as much.
I actually didnt even download the usb drivers and it worked from the get go.
thank you so much. I ended up wasting a dollar on an ATT sim card lol
Are there 3rd part Operating systems I can use on the G920A?
Or can i only use AT&T stock roms

You cannot install custom roms because the bootloader is locked, only at&t firmware

Thank you so much.
So now that I did this, I'll have the latest OS and android security patches for the phone?
Is there anything else I can do to the phone with modification to make it better?

Can anyone please upload the file here, I can't download the file
I would definitely suggest taking this update if you are stock, unrooted. My phone has been very very laggy recently, but since this update the phone is not lagging and the phone is also not having massive battery drain and heating up. I have reset to factory and reinstalled apps numerous times, but generally after a week or two it would always return to this state. This update so far has seemed a lot better.

I am on the same boat and hoping for someone to release an update.zip file of this.
My phone keeps attempting to download a 631MB update, then failing at 0% when the device reboots to install it. My ISP has a data cap, and this is going to cause me serious problems as the phone redownloads the entire update every day without any permission or acknowledgement from me. How can I disable or get around this?

Yes, it only attempts to download on my home WiFi, and my ISP has a monthly data cap where if I exceed their allotment I have to pay more. So after a week of 631MB downloads and failed installations every day, I'm at the point where I can't connect my phone to my home WiFi any longer until this is resolved.
I'm stock, Android 5.0.

You might be able to manually update it. Go to Settings>About Phone and post the last 3 characters of the "build number". For 5.0, it would be something like OC4, OF2 or OF3.
The update path would be something like OC4 to OF2, then OF2 to OF3, then OF3 to PA1. I have the OF3 to PA1 update file.

My understanding is that you need to have a lot of free space on your phone, something like 5-7GB. For example, if you only have 1.5GB free, it will error out.
Here's the OF3 to PA1 update file if you want to manually install it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65833865&postcount=125

Not anything that different that I can point out. My device *may* be a tad bit smoother, at least after things settled down post-update. Battery life appears to be the same as prior to the update.

1.) Turn off the phone. Hold down Volume Up + Home + Power until you see a little Android guy. It will say Applying System Update or something like that possibly, and just let it do it's thing until a menu comes up.
2.) Select "Apply update from ADB". You can scroll using the volume buttons and select using the power button.
3.) Make sure you have ADB and the proper drivers installed on your PC:
http://dl.adbdriver.com/upload/adbdriver.zip
4.)Put the firmware in the ADB folder. You can rename it to anything easy to remember like "FIRMWARE".
5.) In the ADB folder, hold SHIFT + right mouse click and choose "Open command window here". Then type the command "adb sideload FIRMWARE" (where FIRMWARE is how you named your file).
6.) Wait patiently.
7.) The phone will reboot and will hang at AT&T logo. This can take another 10 minutes, just wait until it's done

I've got the same problem. Is there any less painful way to fix this? I thought the Zip file was the T Mobile pre release and not suppose to interfere with future updates.

Use samfirm to acquire the latest firmware intended for your Note9's CSC.
You can get your active from:
Settings >> About phone >> Software Information >> Service provider SW ver
You only need to input 2 info on samfirm tool:
1. Model: SM-N960U
2. Region: (your CSC)
3. Put a check mark on "Auto"
4. Put a check mark on "Decrypt automatically"
5. Click "Check Update"
The tool should give you the latest firmware for your device.
Download that firmware and Odin Flash to your device.
That should fix your OTA update.

Hey everyone this is my first post and I'd like you all to help as much as you can.
I've had this Note 8 for a little over a year. The current carrier it has is T-mobile. I've notice there are new updates to the note 8 models but I'm still on Android 8.0.0 and Samsung Experience version 9.0. Everytime I go to the settings and try manually update it the message always says my phone is already up-to-date.

Sometimes a factory reset can resolve OTA's, just make sure to back up all your data beforehand. You could also download the filmware from Sammobile or updato and flash it with Odin to update it to the current build, using the "homecsc" file will keep your data.

Download this firmware and then use Odin to flash it and if you don't want to lose any of your information that you already have in there, in the .zip folder after you extract it once you'll see all the files you need but there will be 2 CSC files only use the one that says HOMECSC if you use the other one it'll factory reset your device so don't use that one. Make sure you also download the latest version of Odin.. Firmware for download link is https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261709167

Thank you so much. It worked perfectly.
Hi,
I have a note 8 (SM-N950F) UK. It's unlocked and is still on Android 8.0.0 and the security patch version is 01/04/2018.
When I try do an OTA update it says I've got the latest version of the software installed. I've downloaded Samsung Smart Switch and and that says "Your device software is up to date: RD7(XEU)
I don't think my note 8 has a OEM version of the rom on it. (When I originally got it, I believe it was on the EE network, but wasn't locked to that network).
I was wondering if anybody can help me with the fact i can't seem to update it to Android version to 9 or update the security software.
The details are:
AP: N950FXXU3CRD7
CP: N950FXXU3CRB9
CSC: N950FOXM3CRDC
Don't really know what the above means, but would like to update the ROM to Android 9.
Many thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
Terry.

BACKUP First!!
On PC: (computer)
-Download samfirm.exe or frija
-Download latest Odin version (can be found in sammobile.com firmware section or google search)
-Open up samfirm.exe or frija use : SM-N950F and XEU in the search fields and download file (~4.8 GB File) and unzip the zip file.
-Open Odin and put PHONE in download mode and connect to PC.
-Place the 4 files in its correct place:
BL = BL-FILE
AP = AP-FILE
CP = CP-FILE
CSC = CSC-FILE or HOME-CSC FILE **
** CSC-FILE WILL DELETE EVERYTHING and bring back to factory settings (like doing factory reset!) Backup first before choosing this file.
** HOME-CSC FILE will keep data intact
So choose only ONE File!!!
If you run into bugs after update do a factory reset!
They're YouTube guides on how to use Odin and samfirm.exe or frija!
But beware that you CAN NOT go back to android 8 period! So make sure that you really want to go to pie!!
Just to add to what Bluephnx said, the link below will help you on how to use Odin, but also has the download link for SamFirm. (For region in Samfirm, use either XEU, which is UK and Ireland, or BTU, which is UK, or you will get carrier bloatware. You can obviously flash carrier filmware if you choose)

Many thanks for that. Much appreciated.
I'll give what you suggest a go.
Really don't understand why I can't do it OTA tho', would there be something wrong with my phone to stop OTA update working?
And is there any reason not to go to Pie (9) and stick on 8 that you know of?

It just glitches/bugs out sometimes. It has happened to me before, but once flashing via Odin, it usually resolves the OTA problem. You could try a factory reset, which can sometimes resolve the OTA bug, just back your data up first.
I honestly can't remember what Oreo was like to make a comparison for you, but some people do hate Pie, where I have been very happy with it since it's launch.
Here is a little explanation of Pie on the Note 8 on YT that you may find useful.

Did you ever do the OTA update yourself before on that phone or did you just buy it on AP: N950FXXU3CRD7 CP: N950FXXU3CRB9 CSC: N950FOXM3CRDC? If it's been that way since you got it then the most likely answer is that someone else updated it using a version of firmware that can't update via OTA and the only way to fix that is to use odin and flash the latest version of firmware.
