Help.........!!!
Can jump from version G925AUCS5DPK5 to this version ? when flash is stuck in odin, is there any way to do it, stays in file analysis for a long time but does not load, any idea how to fix it?:crying:
Here's everything I've tried
1) Change USB port
2) Administrator mode
4) Rebooted phone
5) rebooted computer
...... any other idea ?
Does this require a phone to be on a specific version before flashing? Just want to be sure everything is good to go before moving forward.
**Edit** found answer by searching. (sorry to jump post heheh

Now it´s working, I unzip all 4 files to md5, and then load the ROM successfully, but it stuck on black screen for about 30 min and never started, I had to go down to the previous version now with imei corrupt and now my cell phone no longer has signal, I do not know what went wrong or where I was wrong?
I flash this files in my g925aucu4dph5 phone, I will upgrade to nougat? What about ADB files? Do you have a video tutorial to this process?
just received my g925a 128GB version, currently has the build number LMY47X.G925AUCU3BOJ7, can i use Odin 3.10.6 and just flash this on it after zipping all 4 files down to md5? (bl, ap, cp, csc)??/
I'mgoing to assume it will not b rootabe after this? If so, to what firmware can i. should i update to so that I may root as flash some other ROM? What I really want to accomplish is just rid myself of all the AT&T bloat, as I do not use AT&T.......and would like to be a more newer version of android then 5.1.1
excuse of it seems nubish, but been using OnePlus One for 3 years now, and stumbled upon getting this phone on a great deal on getting this phone for $240.....so new to the samsung scene, but not to the rooting/bootloading unlocking flashing scene....
Also saw that another poster lost his storage flashing odin....something not cool on a 128gb device and another lost his imei....not cool either
Thanks for the update! Worked beautifully. Now waiting for may update.
Once you load these are we supposed to get updates from ATT? I ask b/c when I hit update it never finds anything and I don't have the most current OS I have the previous to current using these methods to update
has anybody done this without losing original storage or imei??? have a 128GB att edge and would not want this error to occur on mine...still in 5.1.1 build OJ7....

Hi guys. Sorry for possible offtopic, but I have a guestion for people who upgraded to Android 7 on this device:

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I Downloaded The Fw From Sammobile, Yes Its Was Very Slow, Thats Why I Re-upped It Untouched To Androidfilehost, Much Faster To Dl For Others.
Only For Snapdragon Variants, Its The Universal Firmware, Its Free Of Carrier Bloat But Has Some Samsung Useless Apps.
Not For Exynos Variants Like The Sm-g935f, Etc.

The Zip Has The Att Extension But All Universal Snapdragon Fw Are The Same Afaik, It Does Not Install Anything Specific For Att,
Im On Telus/koodo Using The Sm-g935a Without Issues, Shows Lte Signal When On Data Mode.
Idk If Auto Updates Work, Although Update Options Are Available From The System Menu
Instructions:
Dl Zip, Extract Zip, Put Phone In Dl/odin Mode. Run Odin As Admin, And Load Each Cp, Ap, Bl And Csc(Dont Use The Home Csc As I Read Its Fracks Things Up), Just Use "Csc_oym" File In Odin

Hi Vincom, yes i have already read the article. the main reason im flashing the rom is because of the hidden DATA icon in the toggle screen. and also i want my phone to have the OREO update as well. this is my first samsung phone. i have experience in flashing ROMs in my xiaomi redmi 1s phone. so im a bit skeptical if i can do this on my own. this odin process is very new to me. so what is the worst thing that can happen it i brick my phone? can i do a hard reset and will it default to the stock AT&T ROM if ever?

yes and no, csc controls what bloatware and which settings are setup by default dependant on carrier and country, hence why this is a universal fw and not dependant on original csc files.
if u truly have the att s7edge g935a, which is what i had, then yes.

The author claims performance and battery improvements but has anyone that switched over really noticed that big of a improvement?
I mean i already disabled all the carrier bloat with adhell isn't that basically the same as installing this rom? Does the universal maybe have a different kernal/different system level tweaks?

Hi all,
Please help me out!
I have a note 8 with (N950U) - XAA/XAA/SPR - and I have not received a single OTA update!
I used the firmware science method to install a few updates and flashed (using Odin) when Oreo was released.
But now I want to solve this issue and start receiving OTA updates. I do not mind using Odin again to get this sorted - but preferable not lose my data.
Thank you

You have a branded device but not linked with any carrier in US. Change your firmware to an unbranded one and from CRL2 you will receive the last oreo stable CSA1 or you can download the firmware directly from an app like Updato from Google Play and wait that a beta stable on pie will be released.

Staying in this version you have to theoretically receive updates from OTA

Thank you i am going to try this.
Question, the guide says "Note - If you are flashing Unlocked Firmware from Carrier Firmware you must use Prince Comsy Odin otherwise, use regular Odin."
So, in my case i am going from a 950U firmware to 950U1, should i use odin or prince comsy odin? and is there a way to keep my data? or will it be reset for sure?

Use the modded Odin mentioned.
You can keep your data but in this case you will go to switch to a different firmware so is better that you do a backup with SmartSwitch and them go to recovery, do a format/factory reset , then in Odin flash the firmware, reboot and restore your data

Great I will do a full reset. But when you say modded Odin is the prince comsey Odin?
try restoring your phone's firmware using Samsung Smart Switch.

I'm not sure what exactly is Comsy, I read about it but I guess this was an older version, I used the patched version linked in one of my previous posts and works like a charm. I switch from N950U to N950U1 and I had any trouble doing this procedure. About keep your data if you use Home_CSC you will preserve it but you need to delete your old CSC that is where go the preferences of a carrier, so you have to use CSC_oyn file instead

If you are not using a Sprint sim and your device is not a locked carrier (under contract) this message can't appear.
If you follow all the steps, factory resetting first in recovery, then flashing the CRL2 firmware including CSC_oyn then the bloat from the carrier has to be deleted.
It's probably too that you backed up settings with Smart Switch and then restored it, if this is the case try by factory resetting again and restore your backup but not your settings, also check any app related with sim provider that you backed up avoiding restore it.
Need help please

Hi, like Ahmed I also have a SM-N950U XAA/XAA/SPR. My note 8 is not receiving OTA update and it seems like it never will (writing on 01-Apr-2019). Its probably because im using it in Pakistan. Im fairly new to the OTA and manual OS flashing thing. I dont understand any CRL2 or 3 whatever it is.. I would really appreciate if i could get a step by step guide about how to do it since im going to be making a transition from Nougat to Oreo (Or pie of possible). Please please i would really appreciate your help. as i dont want to brick my phone and i dont know what to do.
Thanks a bunch.

Well, the steps are in all the thread.
Let´s go for the obvious first; I guess actually you are not using a sim card from US so you are out of US now and then no need on any carrier´s bloat.
You need first of all switch to an unbranded firmware, it´s mean from N950U to N950U1.
If you are actually on nougat then flash this firmware that is the latest Oreo since you can upgrade after to Pie https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397886161 Use this modded Odin to flash it https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657595813
Process to flash through Odin and switch correctly to unbranded firmware:
- First of all backup your important data using SmartSwitch (you can do it on a SDCard inside your device)
- Enable USB Debugging in developer options and OEM unlock if present.
- Go to recovery and Factory Reset/Format Data.
- Then use menu "Reboot to bootloader" to go to download mode.
- Load the files on Odin and from the two CSC choose CSC_OYN to delete/reset all the preferences, start flashing and wait PASS message.
- Reboot normally to system.
From here to upgrade to Pie go to this site https://firmware.science and complete the following: Model number: SM-N950U1 (this will be from now your model number), in Current version put the firmware ended with CRL2 (the firmware that you flashed previously) and download the first Beta ended on CSAB; move the zip onto your device and go to recovery and flash it using Update from sdcard (this could be wipe again your data).
If you want to update to the second Beta repeat the previous process; complete as Current version: firmware ended on CSAB and choose and download firmware ended on CSBB (less sized).
And finally to go to the last Beta available do the same, Current version; firmware ended on CSBB and download firmware ended on ZSC2 and flash it again using recovery updater.
It could be more Betas but not available yet on Firmware.science.
From beta firmware it´s unlikely that you receive OTA but when an Official Pie be release theoretically you have to receive them normally or if you want to receive them just now then you have to stay on Oreo CRL2 you´ll receive an Oreo OTA update CSA1 (more or less 40MB) and wait from there that an official Pie will be release.
First of all thanks a lot for getting back to me so quick i really appreciate it. Yes youre right about not using the US sim card. If you could just bare with my rookie questions a bit more.
Do i download the "firmware" and modded odin into my note 08 by following your shared links or do i have to download them into PC. If phone, then shud it be on SD card or internal storage?
Second, """Go to recovery and Factory Reset/Format Data.
- Then use menu "Reboot to bootloader" to go to download mode.
- Load the files on Odin and from the two CSC choose CSC_OYN to delete/reset all the preferences, start flashing and wait PASS message.
- Reboot normally to system."""
I only know how to enable developer mode. Thats when you tap built number. But debugger and OEM idk that. And everything you mentioned in """ how do i do it ? Whats to be done on PC and what on computer i have no clue. Youll have to guide me like a child about this i apologise.
Judging by your pie statements. Thats very techincal to do. So i believe its better off going for Oreo for now and wait for the Pie update automatically.
Thanks in advance

The first firmware linked at Android File Host is Oreo, this firmware you have to flash it using Odin so download it with your pc and put it in any place of your preference onto your pc DON´T move it to your device.
Second, """Go to recovery and Factory Reset/Format Data.

This is indicated to make a clean flash, to delete/reset some APN preferences and some traces that came preinstalled with this device linked to a carrier.

Unzip the firmware that you downloaded till get some files in .tar format, within these files you´ll find two CSC files, choose the CSC_OYN file and not the CSC_HOME on the CSC box and all the other files load them on every corresponding box: BL, AP, CP that you´ll find in Odin.
I only know how to enable developer mode. Thats when you tap built number. But debugger and OEM idk that. And everything you mentioned in """ how do i do it ? Whats to be done on PC and what on computer i have no clue. Youll have to guide me like a child about this i apologise.

No, I refer to OEM unlock option but I forgot that this option is not visible in this variant so forget it, just enable Developer Options and USB Debugging that you will find them then to tap on build number 7 times.
Here´s a tutorial about how to use Odin https://androidmtk.com/flash-samsung-stock-rom-using-odin just replace some step by the indicated here.
Judging by your pie statements. Thats very techincal to do. So i believe its better off going for Oreo for now and wait for the Pie update automatically.

Really is not so hard to do all this but if you´re not so familiar you can flash just the firmware linked and wait for an OTA prompt update.
Before I start, I apologize and I know this shouldn't be in the Q&A Thread but I am a new user and unable to post it in the other thread
So I recently purchased a Galaxy S10 from Best Buy and I noticed I didn't have Advanced Call features such as Wifi-Calling and Video Calling. When I had asked about this, it turns out that I had purchased the unlocked S10 and had them set it up with my provider as Verizon.
I have been reading some posts by iBowToAndroid and I am wondering if I would be able to flash my phone into being locked with Verizon and get the Advanced Calling features without losing anything on my phone currently.
I already have the G973U firmware files from iBowToAndroid's post as well as the Verizon USERDATA file. I also tried setting up Samsung USB Drivers but the install failed. I'm not sure if this is necessary as I am still very new to this whole thing.
If this is possible, what version of Odin should I be downloading?
Is there anything else that I would need?
I'm using v3.13.3 and it's working perfectly fine.

I've always used that same version and the patched one.

I've been trying to use that as well but it fails every time before it is able to download anything.
Not sure if I am doing something wrong but I have all the files necessary for it

I had this happen as well...then got a firmware image (from sammobile) with a later date than the firmware that was on my phone already. Flashing that newer firmware image was successful the first time through. Although in my case I was flashing back from T-Mobile firmware to unlocked firmware, same idea. I think that it might have been related to needing a newer boot version or something, but until I got the later version of unlocked firmware, the flash would fail reliably at abl.elf, before it got rolling.
And the version of Odin that worked for me was the patched Odin3_v3.13.1_3B. Didn't try the unpatched version.
I have a Note8 thats an old AT&T but currently using a Straight Talk sim and service. Been trying to upgrade from 8.0 to 9.0 but telling me no more updates are available... should i be doing something different.

You could try a factory reset, as this can sometimes sort no OTA coming through. I think you will have to download each update released in order though.
You could just download the latest filmware for your device from SamMobile and flash the filmware with Odin (using Odin 13.3.1)

This is exactly what you need to do. If you have a u variant grab the carrier-specific copy of what carrier you are currently on. Realisitically speaking, it doesn't matter which version you grab as they're all the same, but different carriers.
My N950u wouldn't upgrade once I put a Verizon sim in it, and downloading the Verizon fw made it actually want to work. Despite researching extensively, I wasn't able to find the answer to this until I had tried it for myself.
Good luck!
I suggest using Frija tool for downloading the firmware. I have a paid account for Sammobile for fast downloads and it still takes 5hrs. Frija takes minutes.
