Grab all the files and other needed information here: http://www.androidrootz.com/2015/05/how-to-unroot-galaxy-s6-and-s6-edge.html

I was instaled official XEF 6.0.1 on my rooted device S6 edge. But after pass on odin and after reboot on screen information some about drk , check drk. A found solution for that some file must flashing with odin and I was doing that. After instal and reboot phon was booting i working butt still is rooted. I cant check for official update a when i power on my phone in left court is message kernel is not Seandroid enforcing.
How to solve that problem and have unrooted phone?

HELPPPP i cant unroot s6 edge
So i bought a rooted(with odin) s6 edge from a guy. It is lollipop and i want to update it to marshmallow via ota. My settings show that the model is G925f. And baseband g925fxxu3coi9. But the phone info tells me it is g925p which is usa sprint and gives a different baseband g925pvpu3bol1 and download mode also shows g925p. G925f is international. Atleast i think so. I downloaded my country(pakistan's) 3 firmwares and 1 of uk too of g925f. I also downloaded sprint usa firmware. I have tried flashing all of these through odin. All give fails. I got three types of fails: serial com port error, NAND write start fail on my country and uk firmware and that device 3 binary 2 fail on sprint firmware.
Please help me what should i do? Should i get the motherboard replaced?

I have AT&T variant and could only find my latest firmware on galaxys6edgeupdate website.

Fantastic, sir! I had this baby rooted and the screen cracked. Boo!! But I followed these instructions and I'm back to stock. New phone, here we come! Thanks!

Guys please i need the stock boot img for 920v on nougat. I tried rooting it and in the process.. changed my boot img. Rooting was unsuccessful though. But i have annoying knox notifications now and lags here and there. I want to use odin to reflash the stock boot img. Im new here. Didnt really know where to post this

AT&T G950U (S8) stock firmware?

Does anyone have the AT&T variant ( or a link ) of the stock firmware for the G950U? Also.. could someone please explain how to go about flashing it over? I have a Verizon G950U.. my old Verizon S7 Edge I flashed to the AT&T firmware but it was much simpler... I used odin and just put in the 4 files ( AP, BL, CP, & CSC_ATT ) ... but after reading quite a few threads on here.... it appears to be a much more complicated process with the S8.

and
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72779071&postcount=32

G950USQS1AQF7 USA ATT firmware is out now on different paid sites, including gsm-firmware.com

AT&T QF7 (latest fw)
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzcTJHzsBL3KeFBIa2RxWkNnclk

I have the same confusion. Did you figure out how to switch to ATT? i have an Verizon Unlock S8. Just downloaded the ATT firmware. Which instruction should i follow?
do i still need the factory binary and the canadian firmware?
thx.

Yes. There's another update or two that'll come through after setup though but this will flash and be bone stock.

please check, odin saids md5 invalid

Rename every file, remove the .md5 off the end.
That's ALWAYS step 1.
2. Use modded Odin
I've flashed it many times with no problem so if you're getting any error it's user error.

Ok, so I flashed the June att firmware sucesfully but when I booted it up, the boot screen still show custom. Anyway to fix this to not show anything like stock att?
nevermind, once rebooted again, it disappeared

Hi. is there a guide that shows how to flash ATT firmware onto the unlocked S8? Thanks!

for a modded Odin, is that using the princecomsy odin or is that changing something in the odin.ini file that i saw somewhere else?

Yes it's the PrinceComsy Odin

Can you pretty please link the latest Revision 2 AT&T G950U Firmware? I cannot seem to find the Revision 2 Dec 20th Updated Release Build. I am pretty sure the build number is G950USQU2BQK5 but I have access to all the other variants on this update just cannot find the damn ATT version. I keep getting errored out writing the G950U1 XAA firmware, the G950U on all other carriers I get errors on it as well. I tried using Odin Comsy, Odin 3.12.7, 3.12.3 patched 256 version, 3.12.7, and even using the Z3X Samsung Tool Pro to reflash the firmware. I got one to finally take using all 5 files on G950U TMB but now the baseband is unknown and I cannot see the IMEI either. Anyone have any suggestions, I would highly appreciate that....

Flash QK5. It's for all carriers and installs proper carrier files and settings depending on the SIM you have installed. Use Prince Comsy Odin.
QK5 on Updato.com: (Labeled VZW but installs as ATT) http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=0C70C888DEB811E7A5F9FA163EE8F90B

Me too, after latest OTA.

Help me identify the correct FW to flash/update to Pie 9.0

I have an Sprint Samsung S8. I want to update to Android Pie 9. Its currently on Android 8.0.0 - R16NW.G950USQU5CSA4. And I want to flash with Odin to any compatible Android Pie FW. I am personally not looking to unlock or anything. The confusing part is that when I research the FW version (G950USQU5CSA4) it comes as a Verizon FW. So I am not sure if is safe to flash any of the Pie FW available on sammobile for Sprint.
It is safe to flash for example to one like G950USQU5DSD3 that appears in Sammobile and is for Sprint?

For any newbie like me who ever had a look at this thread. This definitely work as said by @kpwnApps, I downloaded SM-G950U, build G950USQU5DSD3 (3.92GB) from Sammobile and flashed with Odin. Flashed AP, BL, CP, CSC (not CSC_HOME) on its respective place on Odin. 5m 32s later it was updated with no trouble.

Last question, I am personally not interested. Just curious. As long as is the same android version, would it be possible to downgrade too by flashing with Odin and earlier version? or would something like that cause a brick?

It depends on bootloader version but it doesnt brick anything

Does flashing G988U sprint locked phone safe?

I have bought SM-G988U phone which is sprint locked. If i try to flash the phone with the unlocked U1 model would this unlock the phone or not?
Sorry For this but i'm still a beginner and don't know if this would fix my problem. If not, then what would you recommend please?

As far as I know it's safe....but as with anything involving modding your phone....be careful as one misstep could cost you.

Hey dude, I can confirm U1 works great on Sprint devices, currently using it and still getting access to the t-mobile 5g networks here in LA.

No, it will not Sprint device Network unlocked. Your device will still be Sprint locked. I do believe this model will actually fail if you flash in Odin. Sprint pretty much puts an MDM on their devices now preventing firmware flashing. If it does flash by chance, it will just remove Sprint's bloatware apps.

Tried to flash Sprint S20 Ultra to U1 in Odin and no go. How might I accomplish this flash with the U1 firmware. I've got the package file already.

Successfully flashed.

I have a Sprint S20 Ultra. I'm currently on Sprints latest firmware ATE6. I downloaded ATEC which is Junes security update with USC carrier. It is U firmware as well. I am trying to flash in Odin and I keep getting a fail. Any ideas if Sprint has now implemented something to prevent flashing of other carriers firmware? I never had issues with my S10+. This is the first time I am trying to flash firmware with my S20 Ultra. Help please

sigh. all you need is the latest patched odin and you can flash the u1 or other carrier u firmware.
i flashed the att U firmware to xaa U1 firmware. and then flashed to TMB U firmware
dont listen to other people who havent been in the odin game.

patched one

I used the patched 3.13.1 version. Yes it is safe, I'm running the Sprint version UI firmware. Originally tried with 3.14.1 and failed 3x's. Also tried the full International UI firmware unbranded with the 3.13.1 patched firmware and the phone would get stuck on the SAMSUNG logo. My phone is sim locked to Sprint though and that's why I think it wouldn't boot the full unlocked version. The Sprint branded version worked like a charm.

ok, thanks I will try. I asked in that thread and they told me to use the normal odin, but how dosen't let's try the patched one

Yes, you have to use the patched Odin or else it won't work on the G975U and G975U1 model phones.
