Searching for Combination files for SM-950U - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

It was already rooted, with TWRP but I selected the wrong thing and it wiped most of the phone.
Build info: Nov 7 2019
Build version: FA71_N950USQU7ASK1_13942288
Model SM-N950U
I am trying to recover my phone from a soft brick. I haven't been able to find the right binaries for this model.
If someone could direct me to a place I can download them without a paywall. Or if you have a google drive with it you'd like to share much appreciated.

I need this P1000N to just work, nothing fancy

A friend of mine has this old GT P1000N. He got it used. The thing could never hold any configuration, he would make changes and they would revert after a few hours or so. So he decided to flash it.
He is mostly an apple user, so Android is not something he knows about. He followed this guide:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iI79j97R4qw
And basically bricked the tablet. Then, he gave it to me, to see if I can save it. So, here we are:
I found out that P1000N is not the same as P1000.
I downloaded the latest stock rom from sam mobile (2.3.6) and using Odin I actually made it boot again.
BUT, right after the flash, the first boot says something like:
"E:Can`t open directory `/preload/app/`. (No such file or directory) copy application failed"
Then, wen the OS starts, I get something about system UIDS being inconsistent, and then every damn app starts showing an alert about missing files.
I tried flashing again using the extracted pit file from the stock rom. Checking the repartition option.
Flashed it using the dbdata.
And in the end, the same errors appear again.
I don't want the latest custom rom, or the leaked fw. I just want it to work like it would normally do.
Anyone can help with a simple updated guide?
Thanks a lot!
Stock rom info:
Model: GT-P1000N
Country: Panama
Version: Android 2.3.6
Changelist: N/A
Build date: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000
Product Code: TPA
PDA: P1000NVFJP6
CSC: P1000NUUBJPB
MODEM: P1000NUBJP3
when he first saw how the changes never hold, that is a sign of failing NAND chip.
The internal storage is stuffed.
The only option to salvage this is by following the threads on external sd only or damaged internal sd.
I have never done it myself and hope I will never have to.

I need help with T-mobile AWS unlock

Hi I need some help hopefully some one can help me get this figured out. i got a S4 Active that is unlocked, didn't know that I would have to do anything to get 4g or 4gLTE. so I followed the guide listed in these two links:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2441211
http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-t...aws-bands-on-att-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337sgh-i337m/
everything went fine up to after the back up using QPST. when I went to restore using QCN file “337_AWS.qcn” i got about 5% then got this error message "received and invalid command from the phone. "
I've attempted to get this to work on different PC's with the same results. I've even tried to use the backup that I created with the same effect except it went to 6%.
the phone spec's are:
android version 4.3
Baseband version I537UCUBML2
KERNEL VERSION 3.4.0-2244695 [email protected] #1 WED DEC 4 21:42:36 KST 2013
BUILD NUMBER JJSS15.I537UCUBML2
SE FOR ANDROID STATUS ENFORCING SEPF_SAMSUNG-SGH-I537_4.3_0016
SECURE BOOT STATUS TYPE: SAMSUNG
If anyone a way to help please let me know.
ok so after a lot of digging i found the solution worked great.

ANY 2016 model will have the number 710 in the model number (sm-710f, sm-710m, etc.). the op states that this thread is strictly for the j700t1, while also stating not to try this on ur 2015 model or you will hard brick ur phone. What am I missing here ppl? the j700t1 is a 2015 model isn't it? Someone please fill me in. thanks in advance

I have a J700T that I purchased in 2016. This sort of information is spread out across so many things that I don't know if I can re-flash this firmware. Any ideas?
will this fix
im unable to get into my old phone using my account and password ??? it would say multiple times to enter the previously sync account? but still cant get into the screen setup??? please help... will this help???
disregard... all set
I have a question, dont really know where to ask. I have the tmobile j700t, and I've tried restoring with odin, (with the j700t firmware of course) and im not sure if its doing everything. Everything seems to go fine in odin, flashes boot, modem, system etc. reboots, rebuilds cache, then it just goes to my original lock screen with my custom wallpaper and all my apps still on. I can do a factory reset after, but it doesnt seem to do anything but clear the cache. Am I missing something? I enables OEM UNLOCK and USB debugging before hand.

When restoring with odin, it doesn't usually wipe the phone. Just replaces the firmware (which is the broad answer)
Flashing stock firmware over your rooted stock will remove root and usually nothing else.

I can't find the latest version anywhere? Can you link me? I can only find the latest T-Mobile variant.
I need help :/
I forgot that Snapchat doesn't work on rooted phones, so I had to once again flash back to stock.
The .tar file I used is the latest firmware according to smart switch, but I'm having issues I never had flashing back to stock with this phone.
My Video Calling is not working at all and I used it a LOT prior to this reflash. Used on both rooted and unrooted firmware.
As soon as I go to make the video call, it automatically beeps and says call ended.
I need a fix pleaaaaase.
Also, does anyone happen to know how to do the work around to have root AND snapchat working? I couldn't figure it out at all.
I cant put on a new topic yet, so I'll add this here because this is a thread about stock rom. (If it is useful, you can add it in the main post, whatever, idc)
This is stock rom for J700t1 MetroPCS (J700T1TMK2APK6_CL9815749_QB11667268_REV00) im uploading this for You because it was hard for me to find and get these files.
This is a ROM consisting of 4 files to use in odin (BL, AP, CP, CSC)
its on mediafire site -> /file/92nluibqr3u7nqr/J700T1TMK2APK6_CL9815749_QB11667268_REV00.zip

So I tryed to install factory to binary to bypass it from what I been reading says I can do well I can get in factory binary now but now I cannot install oem stock firmware which I have downloaded 7.0 (what was on it ) says factory binary samsmobile and xda but every time odin3 gives me a fail message I have tryed odin3 3.127,3.13.1,3.12.3 and I think 1 more but every time I get a error....
So right now when I turn on the it his to factory binary mode and don't know of this helps but the battery won't charge past 80%....

Samsung Note 9 will not update 8.1.0

Hi, don't know if anyone can help?
I live in the UK and have a Samsung Note 9 which came from the UAE. The phone will not update and is currently Android version 8.1.0 with security patch dated 01/11/18.
I have tried updating via Samsung Smart Switch.
I have cleared the cache, done a factory reset and checked if the phone is rooted, which it isn't.
I believe the only way to update the android version is to do it manually, can anyone help with this.
The phone is SM-N960F dual sim Serial Number RF8KC1DMFSR
Thanks

As far as I understand, your phone has OXM which includes multi CSC, so it doesn't matter which firrmware you can download and flash.
If you have doubt, just install Samsung Phone Info from playstore. In CSC code tab, check what is its original csc.
Use samfirm or frija to download at very high speed.

This is multi csc firmware so don't worry it will detect your sim card and select csc/country code automatically where you live.
