This ROM is already available on SamMobile, but for those of you who prefer to avoid that hassle, here you go.
First, disclaimer: I'm not responsible for any problems anyone has flashing or for anyone's device. I'm hoping that this will get devs a starting point, and for anyone who's bricked their device.
This is the initial release ROM for the Sprint Note 8, SM-N950U. I already receive my pre-ordered device, and pulled the ROM from Samsung Smart Switch. This ROM requires Odin version 3.11 or newer.
This is a five segment ROM, BL + AP + CP + CSC. It also has a "USER_DATA" partition, not sure how that comes into play, but I'm guessing it's the Sprint "crapware." The "CSC" partion will delete all user data, whereas the "CSC_HOME" file maintains user data, or so I've been told.
Here's the direct link.

Hey is there a possible way onto rooting the note 8 on 7.1.1?
I'm sure there will be. Only a few people have it right now since its only preorder. I would just have some patience with the devs, they'll get that taken care of pretty quickly I'm sure. I would imagine it would just be some tweeking to the S8 root method, but I don't know.
Quick question...Since the QI5 full ROM has not come out to download for Sprint, if I wanted to attempt to wipe and reinstall via Odin to a phone that already has QI5 on it, can I odin QH7 on it or did the bootloader change and thus Odin will fail? I seem to remember that Odin fails now if you try to restore to an earlier version if the bootloader changes?
I'm trying to troubleshoot my wife's Note 8 with touchscreen issues by completely wiping and reinstalling. I think it is a quality control issue, but I want to be sure before I send it back to Samsung.

You can still flash AQH7..
Yes, just flash back, and after you get it back up, it'll update on its own. The ROM actually contains the BL.
Im just downgrading the firmware, so I assume just use all 4 files yes?

For best results flash BL, AP, CP, CSC, and USERDATA files...

It is a model N950U using the sprint firmware.
I am very unsure what I am doing, I have trying to reflash the firmware on this now for a while.
Even tried different carrier, but I am unsure if I am doing it correctly.
I have used the PrinceCosmy odin, the patched 3.12 odin, 3.11, and 3.13
Very confused with what I am doing wrong.
I see, my problem was I kept using BLV 2 Firmware, not the BLV3 firmware. I wanted to use BLV2, but I could not get it to work.
Which is weird since in the Reocvery section the FW said I was using BLV2...which was the BQL3 (I think I typed this right).
So no matter what I can not use a BL2 firmware file it seems.
I want to use the N950U1 FW which the only one we have for this is N950U1UEU3BRA5
So I assume, being that I have to use V3 BL, this is the only file I can use on my N950U?
And if I want to use this FW, I must use Regular Odin? Sorry for the newbness. Still newb haha.
A friend forgot the pattern of his tab A sm-t585 and I tried to flash the 7.0 firmware through odin but odin stopped responding and closed before the flash could complete and now the tab is stuck in emergency recovery (a blue screen with an exclamation mark in a triangle with the message "An error has occurred while updating device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software).
1. I've tried using smart switch software but the tab doesn't show in the list.
2. I tried Kies, and it was the same.
3. I tried older version of Smart Switch and use firmware upgrade and initialization, download was stuck at 69% and the after a period of time changed to 85% and the to 0%, left it overnight and it remained unchanged.
4. I tried odin again, it gave an error (couldn't establish connection)
UPDATE: I just tried odin again and this is the log.

Hi. Check your installed drivers on Windows. Maybe reinstall. Check usb-cable and connection . Maybe need to change. And try Odin again.

Thanks for your reply, I'm not able to power on the device at all. It only turns on when I connect the cable so I'll try the "Nand Erase All" option with Odin.
I've checked the "Nand Erase All" option in Odin and from 7:40pm GMT yesterday till now, it's stuck at initialization. Here's the log:

I'm not able to boot into recovery but I've managed to get it into download mode but still stuck at initialization. The samsung service contact is quite expensive (GHS 350) but might be the only option now.

Post a screen shot of odin when attempting to flash the firmware.
You may need the PIT file and repartition to repair this device.

Are you certain you are in download mode? What do you see on the screen?
If you are then the first thing to try is swapping the USB cable, preferably for the stock Samsung cable.
Being stuck at initialization is a communication error between device and PC. This is either the device is not in Download mode, bad USB cable or problem with the USB port on either device or PC.
Also make sure the PC and ODIN is in Admin mode.

Try removing the md5 extension.
Apart from trying another PC there's is not much else to suggest except download the files again or try a different odin version.
If the device is actually stuck in emergency recovery mode and not just download mode, then Samsung Smart Switch PC App is specificially designed to fix the emergency firmware restore.
We have ODIN. Samsung has Smart Switch. It's like ODIN 7.0. Smart Switch even uses the same ODIN Firmware. ODIN is just their base communications protocol.
Hi Guys, i have the same problem. Update went wrong and now stuck at blue screen. Smart Switch says the tablet is not supported. In odin, same problem as above. Is there any recent solution to this problem?

Hi everyone, I think my Galaxy S7 Edge might be bricked.
The phone won't boot at all even in Recovery Mode. Still, I can access the Download mode to try to reinstall the firmware.
The Problem is that Odin won't pass the <ID:0/003> Initialzation.. message.
I've tried two versions of Odin, being V3.12.7 and V3.12.3. Both running as normal user and as admin.
Also, I've tried three different firmwares, as follows:
G935FXXU1DQJ3_G935FEVR1DQJ1_EVR
S7_Edge_Nougat_7.0_Stock_ROM_S7FanClub.com_G935FOXA1DPLT_BTU
SM-G935F_1_20171018210052
None of them worked since Odin can't reinstall the firmware. I think USB debugging is not enable and there is no way to do that now.

Thanks for the answer.
I did give hours actually. For some reason, my computer shows the BSOD and then reboots. I used 3 different firmwares from 3 different locations, being one of them from SamMobile.
I have no idea what to do next. I thought in try to install TWRP, but since the USB debugging is not enable, it might be worse.
Anything else that I could have missed?

I had a similar issue when first Flashing ROM. I suggest you to retry flashing The Stock Firmware Of Nougat For Your Device Model. This Time Uninstall Odin. Re-install Samsung USB Drivers, And Use OEM Usb Cable Then Re Install Odin Then Re Flash Stock Firmware Then Boot Into Stock Recovery Full Wipe And Reboot System.
Make Sure Auto Reboot Is Disabled In Odin.
Good Luck

I tried your tips, but nothing worked. Still, it won't pass the <ID:0/003> Initialzation.. message no matter what I do.
This is so bad. And everywhere where I looked on the internet, no one had a similar issue.
Any other recommendations?
I am used to rooting my older phones. Just got this Samsung Galaxy S8 today.
However it is loaded with bloatware from T-mobile. I really want to get rid of it..
Any links to how I can remove this, or add another ROM / Stock Firmware without all the bloatware.
Any advice helps.
Thanks again..
Flash the unlocked U1 firmware. Go to updato.com and search for G950U1. There's TMobile versions that have carrier settings but no bloat. There's tons of guides around so I'm not topping one of those out.
Same thing..
So I did flash firmware from the site you listed, found my T-Mobile firmware..
Still has T-Mobile bloatware and tons more of Samsung apps then before....
Which version would have 0 bloatware??? I just want a clean version with no T-Mobile crap.. =[
Did you wipe it afterwards? Did you flash the G950U1 or G950U firmware? Unlocked FW should have no carrier bloat, but will have removable Samsung apps...
Odin Flash, it will restart in Recovery and apply update. Watch for it to restart. Hold Bixby and Volume Up. Wait for the recovery screen to show up, chose Wipe Data/Reset. Then restart
You should be flashing this one: http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=2FE5DAF5D55111E7A5F9FA163EE8F90B
Update & FW
I have downloaded SM-G950U1 XAA Firmware, however when I load it into Odin, It gives me 'Wrong Model' or it fails.
I had to download SM-G950U T-MOBILE Firmware, seemed to be the only one that would work for me. Yet still has all the apps, etc.
Im usually pretty tech savy with this stuff, but this is picking my brain. Not sure why its so difficult to have a 'lite' or 'debloated' version.

I downloaded the other Odin you had recommended. This is what I got, I did not use the Home.
Additional Note: The lady at T-Mobile store did the upgrade, so would it be because my Android version is more new than the one I am trying to flash? If so, how could I revert this?

I downloaded the other Odin you had recommended. This is what I got, I did not use the Home.
Additional Note: The lady at T-Mobile store did the upgrade, so would it be because my Android version is more new than the one I am trying to flash? If so, how could I revert this?

Sometimes you just gotta try different cables or ports. That Odin has never not work for me. Hopefully you got it now!
Hi,
I really love my G892A S8 Active that I've purchased used in Canada.
But for some reason AT&T don't want their phone to be updated while on another network. This is the first carrier I've seen that does that (blocking OTA updates). Any real reason for this?
I've even tried with a prepaid SIM card from AT&T and paid the 35$ plan to later found out that you really need to be on the AT&T network (US) instead of a roaming network with a working ATT plan.
Even the attcompute.com site where I used to get OTA updates looks it is now blocked from any Canadian ISP.
xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/48974/1488/SS-G892AUCS2ARA1-to-U2BRA3-UP
This used to work 3 weeks ago with the phone user agent. Now, all attempts return DNS look-up failed..
I had other carriers unlocked phone OTA successfully on another carrier network.
This is crazy... why block people from updating their AT&T unlocked phones????
And yes I know about XDA OTA source but it is not always up to date and depends on user base to upload OTA and make it available to general public.
Last security update is G892AUCS5CSH1 but I cannot find it anywhere... not even on xda.
Thanks!
Laurent

I downloaded the newest version of the baseband zip from that site. I am so terribly new to this. What are the programs that I will need to get the unpacked files (.md5) to my phone? there are 5 files: an AP, BL, CP, CSC, and a userdata. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Joel

Certainly. Odin and just the drivers that should install automagically when you connect the device.
in the attached image, youll see an arrow and a circle. The circle is where Odin will show "COM: #" but the number symbol will be an actual number. Doesnt matter what the number is as long as it shows a number. The arrow is pointing at the area where youll put 4 of the 5 files. 3 of the files should be obvious as to where they go, but there are 2 CSC files. One of them does a factory fresh clean wipe of the phone, the other leaves all previous user data intact. CSC wipes it HOME_CSC leaves user data alone.
Hope this helps! Cheers!

So I loaded the BL, AP, CP, and one called "USERDATA" I did not load the "CSC" one because you said it would wipe the phone. I want to keep my user data. So does that mean that I need to have the CSC there as well, but by having the USERDATA one as well (the 5th file) that it will keep it? Also, I unpacked the ODIN file, and simply ran it. Finally, the window that you circled in the image you attached was not populated. What DID populate was the window BELOW the one you circled. It showed: 0:[COM3] But again, that was in the block below the one that you circled and NOT the one that you circled.
When I did just the 4 (BL, AP, CP, USERDATA) and NOT the CSC and ran ODIN, I got the following in the LOG window:

I kept my phone unlocked. Was it supposed to be ON or was it supposed to be OFF?
THanks!

You need to power it off then hold bixby volume down and power til a blue green screen comes up. You need the device in download mode which is from a power off
If it fails again I need the error displayed on the screen.
If you Google download mode and samsung s8 you can get an idea of the screen and how to better
