Thanks helped a lot.
1. Use Updato.com, MUCH faster
2. Good luck finding att fw anywhere unless someone has posted it here like in the link.
3. I'd just run the unlocked XAA FW if I were you. If you're not in att why run their fw with all their bloat?

You want the XAA that's at the top of the page. Yes, it updates like any other.

Ok for those that took the XAA update ending in K2 and tried everything to load another firmware and failed here is help. The T-Mobile firmware is currently on BQK5 which is Bootloader v2 so you can download and apply it to your device using the latest official version of ODIN. WAIT!!! Don't get your panties in a bunch, READ!! Keep your sim card in your device so that you can get your carrier firmware and logos. This works on both AT&T and T-Mobile devices. The Devices are the same so don't let the TMB fool you. It works. You can use this if you want your carrier software back and play around with the Oreo Betas. I am not trying to step on nobody toes here but I will try to keep yall updated on the betas also.
Here are the links.

Download this U firmware and install using odin. It's a universal firmware for the AT&T S7 Edge, does not have any AT&T crap on it. It also doesn't have VoLTE & wifi calling, but who cares, it works just fine. I have an AT&T S7 Edge and I'm using this myself. I love it and it always get the OTA updates fast. This is the latest firmware with the January security patch. Enjoy and hope this helps. This is Android 7.0 Nougat

What firmware version are you on right now? If you want to go to SM-G935U then you have to start with the base of January and then update from there via OTA.

Just so there's no confusion here, no one person "updated it OTA". What you have is an official U rom which fetches updates whenever Samsung pushes them out.

If your on the U version, then go to Settings then Software Update and then tap Download Updates Manually. It should force an update. If not, download the updates from Sammobile and flash them using Odin.

Pardon my ignorance. I'm about to buy a AT&T Note 8 today, but AT&T isn't my carrier (as I'm in Jamaica).
Is this the latest firmware for this device? My OCD requires me to have the latest OTA available so I don't have to keep wiping my device each time I sideload it.

Yes, you can still flash the unlocked firmware on AT&T note 8 after the Oreo update. Only the U1 unlocked firmware can be flashed and as long it's still on the same bootloader version. Also, you'll need a different version of Odin to flash for the Oreo update.
Use this version of Odin.

Which version can I download for SM-N950U which is from the United Arab Emirates
I just downloaded the files, I have no idea what I'm doing or how to open them and install them? Can anyone please help me? The Samsung files app says it cannot open the downloaded files And I'm not saying instructions anywhere
Hello all,
My problem is as follows:
I have the SM-G950U USA Galaxy s8, Unbranded and unlocked. I flashed the Samsung UI beta firmware back in January which put me on T-Mobile firmware. I have been trying to flash back to the unbranded unlocked firmware, but have not found it available anywhere online.
I would like to revert back to my original unbranded firmware because now I do not receive any software updates, as when I go to software update in settings I get the message, "Your current software version is not supported. Visit a service center." I therefore can only update by flashing releases through Odin. I flashed the March security patch update from Tmobile recently, so that is what I am currently running.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Just check the bootloader version and flash U1 fw in odin. You may need patched odin. Updato or samfirm should be able to get the u1 fw no issue.

So I flashed XAA firmware off of Sam mobile. The files did not have the "userdata" file - after flashing my phone has Sprint userdata and has two Sprint system applications. Is there anyway to get rid of Sprint entirely and completely revert to unbranded? Flashing the G950U1 XAA got me back to receiving automatic updates, but has not gotten rid of the phone being branded...
Good night guys,
I just bought a S10+ unlocked but originally from AT&T the problem is that the phone is out of the Network and I can't get the FOTA updates (It has 1 Feb. Security patch) :crying:.
And I want to know another option to update the phone to the latest security patch.
Any help is really appreciated,
Thanks in advance.
Here you go.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus/how-to/tool-frija-samsung-firmware-downloader-t3910594
Just download it,unzip it run the exe type in the phone model and the ATT and click downloaded.
If you want to receive OTA updates on your phone you either need to flash the carrier free U1 firmware (in which case you will receive OTA updates from Samsung) or flash firmware for your carrier. AT&T doesn't send updates to phones when there is AT&T firmware but no AT&T SIM.
You could also manually flash updates that you download from Frija but if you don't have AT&T service you should get rid of their firmware. It's designed to make you regret switching from AT&T and can cause an assortment of problems when used with a different carrier's SIM card.

Go to updato.com or Sammobile and download the G975U1 firmware.(https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g...SM-G975U1/ATT/download/G975U1UES2BSI4/291515/) (It's the unlocked, bloat free firmware.

They're not ROMs. They're stock firmwares.
Do you want carrier bloat? Download G975U firmware. You won't find att firmware but it's all inclusive. Download VZW firmware and it'll instal carrier bloat based on installed firmware.
If you want no bloat, go with G975U1 firmware. XAA is true carrier free (but on the U1 it doesn't matter which code you use)

Probably not if you have AT&T firmware. Smart Switch downloads firmware from Samsung's servers but AT&T is the only carrier who does not allow it's firmware on Samsung servers. AT&T updates are only stored on AT&T's own servers.

If you mix and match firmware like you suggest then you need to manually flash all future updates because you will not receive any OTA updates ever. That's fine if you like flashing firmware but isn't a good idea if you don't.
Not sure who told you that but I've been bouncing between various firmwares and models through the years and never had to continually manually flash.
The only way that would happen to you is if you dirty flash one over another without factory resetting. Which everyone knows you shouldn't be doing for reasons like that.

If you flash a build number different from what is officially offered by your carrier or via U1 then you stop getting OTA updates because you are running an unnoficial build that the OTA server doesn't recognize . The US carriers are often on slightly different build numbers and the U1 build numbers are rarely the same as the carrier builds. If you mix and match S10+ firmware odds are you won't get automatic OTA updates again until you flash complete firmware that matches the exact build offered by your carrier or U1.
That's common knowledge and has been discussed thoroughly in the firmware threads and also on the Frija thread.

Then why has every phone I've had (S6, S7E+, s8, s8+, s9+, S10+) received ota updates if I flash U1 firmware on them? It would even receive them fine going from U1 to U...
I'll specify cause maybe you're confused. If I'd flash over my current fw without wiping data and using the Home CSC I wouldn't get OTAs. But that's just dumb to do...
If I flash with Odin, non-home CSC then wipe data/factory reset on recovery it would.
Yet, you're saying it shouldn't have?
