Has this Sprint message come up asking for a code an if I exit out. It disabled the wifi an makes the device useless. I've tried to download other firmware files an tried flashing through Odin but since it was 9.0 the bootloader updated making it hard to go back to 8.0 any help is greatly appreciated.

Download this firmware and then flash it with Odin and you'll be back on 8.0.. It seems to me that the phone is carrier locked and either hasn't been paid off fully or something.. The 8.0 firmware is here.. https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397940842

No it will not do that. You need to purchase an unlock code from a retailer online that sells unlock codes.. If the phones not been paid off the IMEI will be blacklisted..

Ok, I just paid 10 bucks on eBay for someone to unlock it. Hopefully it's permanent. I was pretty skeptical but it appears to be working now. Hopefully it will stay working. If So, 10 bucks well spent.

there are no legal methods of doing this and XDA does not support nor allow discussions of this sort to occur. It is already known that there are 3rd party sites who offer services to remove sim card locks, lease locks and blacklist removal, but further discussing those things here is forbidden.
I have found a solution to my issue and have fixed my phone , my apologies for not better info but the phone was not a sprint phone and was never used with sprint it was paid for in full from Best Buy . Com and was simply a screw up somewhere on there end but I have solved my issue via U1 firmware and am happy to report my phone is 100% usable

Hi, i have a Note 8 N950XU with Snapdragon, it worked fine with the pre installed Demo ROM, but i installed the N950U Firmware and since then it shows me Security Error: Unauthorized Software has been flashed bla bla bla, as you can see on the attached picture. I even got the original N950XU Demo Firmware and flashed it, but still shows me the same error! Anyone knows how to fix this ? Odin passes through with no error, but the phone never boots up, only the security error. I just want my phone back to working order :crying:
OEM lock?
There was no option to turn it off or on in developer options, is there any solution for this ?

I believe you would have to use Prince's Odin to so which is also in that thread.
Looks like your just trying to flash another carrier's or other official firmware. Don't need unlocked bootloader or oem unlock for that. Don't know if your version has an unlocked bootloader but I am curious.

I believe they do, but they also have the security check which was tripped by the OP when he tried flashing 950U firmware.

Right. Probably ex demo units that get sold off before too much screen burn occurs. I don't know to be honest.
I remember reading somewhere the radios don't work on them hence they needed a new main board to function fully. But that was just a random post I'd come across that I recalled.

I actually recall reading something similar. But I also remember being able to make a call with demo units, could be wi-fi calling though, so I dunno.

After you flash the firmware back you might give the youtube video a try instead. It works flawlessly for this model.

As for the european sim card you could always call and tell your carrier you are going on vacation overseas and need the phone unlocked. =]

Ok I live in canada and I bought a brand new note 8 off someone. It works great. I just noticed it's on android 7. So tired do OTA but it's says I'm on latest. Bear with me I'm not tech guy at all I'm going take it to shop and get them to help me or something. I called one cell place told me I have get a sprint card from USA that is active and has data to get update. That's not possible cause I don't know many people in USA. So I tried kies it tells me to down load smart switch I do it and I get my device is up to date. I have the SM-N950U. I think after this I stick with one from provider. I just don't wanna sign new contract. So traded for this one for my phone and cash. I really love it but I like features of android 8. So if there a link where I can get the update file and stuff I need for Odin I will have shop do it for me. I don't wanna mess up my phone but Im hoping get android 8 and samsung 9.0 then I be happy. Any help be great. If I can get to states or get someone mail me sprint sim lol be so much easier but I don't see that happening soon lol Thanks

You don't need a Sprint sim card you can do it yourself using odin and it's really easy to do.. What's the baseband that you're currently on? Tap settings then about phone and then software information and read the baseband. I will get you the link for the update firmware you need.

Here you go this is the August update for Sprint and the very latest one they have out right now although you can upgrade further but I wouldn't advise it yet since those aren't fully public yet.. This is the link you need to get the firmware from https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904010789
After you're done downloading it you need to unzip it 1 time and put the files in their respective places and ignore the HOME_CSC file. Just turn the phone off and boot into download mode holding the power button the volume down button and the Bixby button all at same time and then you can read the screen and continue. Make sure you download the correct odin too by the way Odin 3.13.1 is the latest according to https://samsungodin.com and you can download it there.
So I should just wait. Does this mean there not official update for my phone maybe I will get the ota. It just not out yet. Is that why my phone saying i have latest version

That is the official update.. Since you're not using Sprint you're never ever going to get the over the air updates again unless you decide to switch to Sprint.. For example I'm on Verizon and I get the OTAs but if I were to switch to Sprint I'll never get the updates again unless I go back to Verizon and the reason this is, is because Sprint doesn't send out Verizon's firmware updates and Verizon doesn't send out Sprint's updates.. This means you have to do it yourself and the very latest update for Sprint is the link I posted all you have to do is download and flash it and if you've never done it before now is the best time to learn because if you're not switching to Sprint you're going to have to do it.
Oh ok I thought you said I wouldn't recommend doing it lol I just got confused. I be happy with oreo. I use pie on my buddy phone not huge difference. I thought different band that why said not recommend it. I just don't wanna brick my phone lol I don't have another phone that's all

Sammobile is slow as hell I'd turn window defender off or download it with your phone and then transfer to a computer.. After you download the firmware just flash the needed files and not HOME_CSC yea whichever one you find should work just fine..

No you don't do anything but odin. First slot you put the BL file.. When you put the 2nd file in the AP slot it's so big that odin's going to say it stopped responding but leave it alone and it'll finish checking it and then move on to CP and then the CSC file and then tap start and give it about 10 minutes and that's all you have to do nothing else!! Only fill in the first 4 slots ignore the rest of them!

Flashing /system to remove reactiviation lock
Reactivation lock is activated when the device was reset while wiped via either ADB or Recovery (likely either you or the seller stole it). You will need to flash the newest firmware for your device & carrier using Odin. You can usually find these on SamMobile if it isnt avaliable anywhere else. After its reflashed setup the device without a internet or sim card installed. If y oku have any trouble using Odin there are plenty of tutorials on it avaliable online.

So, ive been on the Transfagarasan, the Transraraul, Sibiu, Brasov, Sigisuara, Castle Bran, Lacul Rosu (The Red Lake) and a few other treasures! We didnt get a chance to make it to Iasi either time yet despite its proximity to Piatra Neamt, which is where we call our home base. I am honestly curious to get your perspective on what are some of the best things to do/see in Romania. Doesnt have to be something like the people palace, i like real stuff. Restaurants that make the best ciorba(soup) and mancare(stew) or just a relaxing lakeside getaway. Do you have any places you think a goofball American might like?

If it's the U1 3AUDD update you can't downgrade. The bootloader revision has been bumped to 3 and there is no going back to bl 2.

I'm pretty sure you can't downgrade because the bootloader is a different version than the previous version. The number that is shown 5 characters from the right on your Build Number identifies the bootloader version. The May update took me to bootloader version 3. Prior to the upgrade, I was on bootloader version 2. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe you can downgrade once you've updated to a different bootloader.

If it's the U1 3AUDD update you can't downgrade. The bootloader revision has been bumped to 3 and there is no going back to bl 2.
They upgraded bootloader so no going back.. Not sure if you can root.. But if so you can add command to unlock the hot spot..

May update clearly mentioned in it's changelog that it was not possible to go back to older firmware after updating. No dice.

You could try PDANet

Are you in the US?
I haven't tried to tether with this phone.
So, you're saying that if I tether, it will check with T-Mo or whatever my carrier is to see what I'm eligible for?
I guess that was 1 benefit about the Pixels. No checking, just tethering!
Very happy with May update

Here's a work around I found:
Download Activity Launcher from the play store -> go to the search on the top right -> type in "tether" -> it should search for "Mobile Hotspot and Tethering (there should be 3 that pop up) -> choose the 2nd one -> click on "WiFi Hotspot" -> click On.
I don't take credit for this as I found this on reddit. It worked for me and a few others. Good luck!

Thank You soldier.
By the way, folks: you can make this work with Shortcut Maker too. Great app.
Thank You to Samsung for leaving this untouched, LOL.

Other than locking you in so you can't go to an earlier version does it serve any useful function?
