Can anyone upload a odin version of this update for non-rooted phones? It would be greatly appreciated.

I don't believe if there is a PA3 for G900A. PA2 is the latest version for the phone.

On At&t's website it says there was one 3 days ago.

Confirmed. PA3 is out (May, 17th)

You are correct; it is an update to bring the phone up to date with Android Security Patch: 2016-05-01. I wonder if AT&T is switching to monthly software updates. If that is the case, then any kind of root solution would be very short lived before they issue a patch for it.

By the way, for unknown reasons Chrome can't open the link for me, while MS Edge loads the page just fine.

Anyone with G900A PA3 odin files yet by any chance?

Yes, does anyone have these files? Thanks

I'd also like to have the Odin Stock PA3 files. Using AT&T -_- not sure what to do here... towelroot didn't like it. I made sure unknown sources... etc..
i want to downgrade as far down as possible so it can be rooted. And how is PA3 able downgrade to OA1? How are they compatible?
I don't mind downgrading as long as it doesn't trip the warranty (if it was my phone i would have already done it successfully) ... but that's what my sister's phone came with. Trying to help her out. please, if anyone has a way to root or can confirm that the downgrade won't 110% brick it.. I really don't know which ones I can actually downgrade with.. some are able to go from PA2 to PA1 no problems and some report bricks-- as long as I can get to download mode (and i even have some jigs to make sure or at least try) ... if i can get that even water downgrading as mentioned above, then i'll try it.. anyone?

We're on PA4 now..

I'd rather stay on PA3 unless it means you can root it on there.. heh. Thats the whole point. and I told her to come running to me if AT&T asked for an update.. I clogged up the cache and her SD card so that it wouldn't be able to run until.. well, until i can get root access on the damn thing.

That's vBeta4. If you've got it OTA, then maybe AT&T decided it's stable enough to make it official. In any case I've already provided links to it and as soon as AT&T makes it official on their website I'll update my HOWTO thread.

So far I really like it, everything works so far, so can't really complain.

Anyone else have poor battery life after update? I've made some tweaks but it's definitely worse than before.

I wish T-Mobile wifi calling still worked...

I updated this morning. Every time I look at my lock screen and see the warning that my password exceeds four numbers I cringe. Do they really have to give this hint to someone who may find my phone?

Still no shutter speed control on the camera

Read the other threads here about how to do the Odin flash to 7.0

I got the OTA update on my phone a few weeks ago. My girlfriends phone however, despite having gotten a few ota patches is still running 6.0.1. The only difference between the phones , is she has a GoPhone sim card. could that be keeping her from it? Even Smart Switch says her phone is up to date.

Hi, you need to have a sim card from AT&T inserted so you can download the OTA, otherwise you won't be able to update to 7.0 unless you'll do it with via ODIN(computer and cable)

Well nothing I can help you with since you want to keep a knock off phone with random different parts.

MrMike is correct.
You say "current version" yet they are all different variants, for which we can't advise what filmware you need. It should only be one variant, not 3...
As your phone is a marriage of parts, updating it may brick the phone.
Stick with it or get a full refund.

Do any good ROM's exist for Sprint version of Note 8 N950U?

It seems like everything is for the Exynos version of this phone. Just got my Note 8 today for a steal practically new for only $100, but the software bloat seems horrible. Just curious if there is any Lineage or Samsung based ROM's that would be a good starting place? All the late reviews in 2019 and here in 2020 says to install an aftermarket ROM on it and you got yourself a great device. Phone details below.

The Sprint store did the factory reset for us, but given that I know my way around these devices I thought I would do my own Factory reset and start from scratch. My last Galaxy phone was the original, so I am sure things have changed since then and wanted to double check with XDA before making any mistakes. Phone currently sits 100% stock.
Any advice on a debloated ROM at the least? Or something else would be great too. Google just sends me here and all I seem to see is N950F devices, but I plan to keep on researching before I flash anything on this device, lol. EDIT: Just saw the US carriers Pie thread too for this device, and that seems to offer a pre-debloated rom.
EDIT: My guess is that there isn't much you can do with this device in the way of custom roms?

Your guess would be correct. The phone is bootloader locked that means no roms like N950F version..

Thank you for the information. Yeah I figured that was the case. Oh well, at least there is a debloated Pie rom. Maybe I can do a somewhat decent job of customizing it. But yeah I was hoping for 3rd party kernels and or LineageOS love. At least it's a better phone than the Motorola G6 that it is replacing, lol. Thanks again...

Are you using a device which wasn't offered by your service provider? You may need to flash different firmware.

Did you flash your current FW, or did you receive it via OTA? What is your phone's CSC?
If you flashed it earlier, flash again. If not be patient....

I've never flashed anything, I'm using the phone as I bought it about a year ago. I travel a lot though, so I change sim cards quite frequently.
My CSC is G998BOXM3BUK8

Changing SIM-cards regularly could be the cause...
What is shown under software version under phone info - software details - software version provider? (Or similar menu names) See attached SS.
You could consider flashing latest FW. This threat provides all info...

Thanks I'll check the thread.
Here is the service provider info

According to overview on sammobile.com your firmware is indeed up to date for CSC TPA (Panama).
Be patient...
