I've rooted my S8 SM-G950U, in the process I used a U1 carrier unlocked no bloatware firmware. This doesn't have the visual voicemail app that works on an S8 on Boost. Can anyone send me the apk or tell me if there is something I can flash in flashfire or Odin to restore this to my phone?
Thanks.

So there's no clear cut guide for what I want to do and I see this and that about what needs to be flashed first, or CSC, etc....
My question:
Can I flash the ATT version of the Unlocked FW (G950U1) http://updato.com/-archive-select-model?record=6032047A52D711E7963AFA163EE8F90B onto the AT&T S8 G950U the standard way, using the modded Odin and not need fancy work arounds, etc...???
Hi Everyone,
Can anyone point me to a download link for the stock AT&T Oreo firmware for the s7 edge. I found a few but the AP file is coming up as a zip. Even after I rename it to follow the meta.md5 filename odin gives an error which states something about binary mismatch. I dont really want to go back to the unlocked firmware because I will loose the stock ATT& features.
Thanks for the help!

It's not just a name it's an extension you can't just rename it.
Use the samfirm app from xda for a better download rate.
Put it on automatic and decrypt download.
Model SM-G935U
ATT as region code for att firmware.
When you click check update it should say this
G935UUES4CRG3
That is that latest firmware for att.
Hi,
I did change the file extension as well not just a simple rename. Ok I will give that a try. I thought samfirm was discontinued? Also if i download the SM-G935U that is just going to be the unlocked firmware isnt it? Sorry still new at this.
depends though, if your model number on the back of your phone is sm-g935a or sm-g935u
att has 2 different phones
both have att branding and wifi calling volte and apps
as long as the firmware you install has the csc ATT then it should be fine.
if you have the 935a then you can download at the att sections of the forum.
Samfirm may be an old tool but it still works as intended
if u have the 935a just change it to SM-G935A in the samfirm app.

Can't I just install a g935u firmware on a g935a phone?
I just don't want to keep AT&T apps.
I have a question. I have the Unlocked AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 (didn't realise it was AT&T until I received it and turned it on) and when I go to update the software it says it is up to date but it is not. How do I update my software? I am not rooted or anything, the phone is in its normal state.
Is it an unlocked S8 with AT&T firmware or an unlocked AT&T S8? Also, what carrier are you using?
Either way, you can use Odin to flash the newest firmware. Search Updato.com for the firmware for G950U (AT&T variant if you want bloat) or for the G950U1 if you want actual unlocked firmware with no bloat. However, the newest that they have posted if CRF5 and CG3 just came out the other day.
I asked about carrier because:
If you're running on Tmobile for example, use the tmobile firmware. You'll have bloat but you'll get all the features and you'll be good to go on updates.
If you're using Tmobile and want Unlocked firmware download the TMO coded U1 firmware and again, you'll be good with updates.
@jpcdeux I would think it has AT&T firmware because it came with a few AT&T apps on it. However, it is not locked to at&t so I am able to use it in my country (St. Kitts).
Would I have to root?
No, rooting is not required to flash unlocked firmware
Thanks much @jpcdeux
I have a Sprint Galaxy s8, but I am no longer on Sprint.
Is it possible for me to flash the unlocked ROM, effectively making it SM-G950U1?
My current build nnumber: R16NW.G950USQU5CSA4
I'm hoping when it's available I can flash to the Pie version of G950U1.

Only if Sprint unlocked the device through uicc unlock. If you flash u1 on a locked it's still stuck to the original carrier. As for guides there are several guides in the general section for carrier switching

Yes it is. I just did it yesterday. I was on G950USQS5CSB1 and didn't get wifi calling or VoLTE on Mint Mobile but after flashing G950U1 I now have them.
Since you say you are no longer on Sprint I assume you just want the unbranded G950U1 firmware.
Using samfirm on your computer putin G950U1 as phone and XAA as CSC and search. You should get G950U1UES5CSB2. It is the latest and has the same bootloader as you. Download it.
Download and use the 3B modded version of Odin.
Back up your phone as it will be wiped.
study here how to use Odin..... there are many guides
Use the CSC file not Home_CSC.
Have the sim of your current carrier in the phone when you flash.

This is exactly what I'm doing. Switched to Mint, but don't heav Wifi or VoLTE. Glad to hear that G950U1 works with both those (was worried I would have to flash TMO to get it).
Thanks again!
I have two carriers, ATT & Verizon,
I have tried the Verizon chip in my unlocked ATT S10+ (SM-G975U) and only time it ever work some what is when I was at the Verizon Store.
Because of that issue I tried to flash it with "ODIN" with the latest firmware that supposed to be for the Unlocked version, after flashing I still see that ATT LOGO & apps on the phone.
One thing I noticed; while it was restoring it choose "HOME_CSC" instead of CSC that I have choose.
ODIN was on Default settings.
Do you have a guide I can follow to flash the S10+?
Are there pre-rooted custom firmware for the S10+?
Thanks
