Flashing Samsung Galaxy Note 8 - G955W (Canadian) to a G950U1 Note 8

Hi Everyone,
I've searched and could not find a clear answer, and am hoping someone can help.
I just purchased a US Samsung Note 8 (SM-950U1), my question is, is it possible for me to install the G955W (Canadian) firmware on this device?
For Canadian users is anyone currently using a US Note 8 (SM-950U1) Factory unlocked?
Thanks.

Made a typo I meant can I flash SM-N950W Canadian firmware to a SM-950U1 Factory unlocked Note 8
Thanks,

not yet, North American models are all Snapdragon with locked bootloaders. If someone finds a way to unlock the bootloader then you could get a flashable zip version of a Canadian ROM and use that but as far as I've seen nobody has been able to do much with the Snapdragon variants yet.

I have been reading the s8 plus thread where users have flashed the s8 plus Canadian (sm-g955w) firmware to the Us s8 plus (sm-g955u) is it not the same process?
Thanks for your help

If you follow the s8 + guide...if available it would be the same for u...I am working on a guide for carrier switching but it is for U.S. snapdragon models...but it uses the Canadian XAC home_csc...I say pm the poster of the s8+ that you mentioned for details and then flash at your own risk....you can always flash back to your original....before you do, though, insert your Canadian carrier SIM and see if you can activate it...when I was testing the carrier switch there were options to change to Canadian csc's....good luck

Any update? I also bought my note 8 from USA. With the US firmware, we do not have access to certain features like VOLTE or caller ID and spam protection.

Check out blue fox's thread. I just flashed US firmware on a Canadian unlocked XAA device(not sim locked to Rodgers, bell etc). long as your flashing stock Samsung firmware, youll be fine. The Canadian and US Note 8 phones are basically the same.

***Purchased branded ATT Note 9 (SM-N960U) am now switching to Spectrum (Verizon)***

Curious for all you pros out there. I purchased an ATT branded note 9 directly from Samsung running on firmware N960USQS1ARH6 and am now switching to Spectrum (Verizon).
1. Can I use the verizon firmware N960USQS1CSD1 android pie 9? or
2. Do I have to stay on 8 and use the verizon firmware version N960USQS1ARH6 instead of the ATT firmware?
3. Do not want to brick my note 9 and would like to dbl check before flashing.
4. Went down to the spectrum store and they verified my IMEI number is compatible..
Thanks for the help...

AT&T csc for Exynos Variant

I updated my SM-N960F to a leak of Pie beta around January 2019 and discovered that I could not automatically update. I was eventually led to the discovery that updates are tied to the csc. So I changed my csc to a Thailand one, due to it seeming to include the most features, and never looked back. What I am wondering now is would it be possible to change the csc to an AT&T one to get AT&T features. I understand that my phone would not be compatible with AT&T's rom due to it being for the snapdragon variant and that if this is possible I would have to manually update the firmware.

Note 9 models?

Can someone please tell me the difference between the "Factory Unlocked" Note 960U, and the 960U1? Can they both be used on Tmo and do they both have band # 71? Thanks for any feedback.

As far as I know all note 9s sold in the US are the same minus the software. So you should be good to go.

You can flash the U1 version of the software with a patched version of Odin. I've went from the U firmware back to the U1 on my s9.

Question Samsung s21 ultra unlocked Firmware Stuck on BUK7

Hello everyone and happy new year, my Samsung s21 ultra unlocked phone on Verizon wireless is still running the BUK7 firmware ,not sure why it won't update, anyone else having the same issue, help would be greatly appreciated

Update hasn't rolled out fully to everyone yet after they halted it. Stop making new threads, just be patient...

I'm on US unlocked with a Mint Moble sim and I got the update after BUK7 which was the BUKF. It was a small <300 MB update, but still with November patch.
If you don't have the update yet, you can download it from sammobile or samfw
But we should bet getting one soon with the December security update. Seems like the SM-G998U1 model with all other CSCs are getting them since yesterday. The unlocked model has the XAA CSC and for that the last update was December 8th to BUKF
