ADB updates from server for N950U-ATT version - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss

Thanks to @Venom0642 and @DanMc85 i was able to get updates for Note 8 AT&T version. All updates are 100% AT&T stock from servers and can be apply by ADB sideloads. I will try to keep them up to date. Some updates are released and other not, so it is yours and only your choice if you want to apply them or not. Remember there is no updates to unreleased updates and if you apply unreleased update and AT&T will go with different one then you applied, you will have to ODIN back to stock and start again. So choose wisely.
Good Luck
Unreleased :
N950USQU2BQJA-to-S2BQK2 - Link is UP thanks to @Venom0642
Released :
11/14/2017 with October security N950USQU1AQIA-to-U2BQJA
On 9/25/2017 with August 1st security : N950USQU1AQH7-to-U1AQIA
EDIT- Warning : all ADB sideload will wipe your device, so make sure you have backup

Glad You Got this Going Here!:good:

Updates
I got the Note 8 unlocked and flashed the att version.
The version you have here is the latest and my phone is telling me I have the latest already. Is there a fix for this? It will be a pain to have to sideload and restore every time I want to update the phone. Wonder if the unlocked phone is checking Samsung's servers and not AT&Ts. Any ideas on this? Also where do you get the update files? Thanks for any help.

For AT&T SM-N950U1 users who flash the carrier Firmware have to sideload updates...this only affects AT&T users AFAIK. All the files are in different threads in this section...you can choose to flash complete AQIA (latest) or AQH7 (original) and then sideload the update AQH7 to AQIA as found in the threads...there may be an apn setting for OTA updates to work that you can edit though....adb sideload is simple enough though.
One may try just putting the update listed in op on their internal storage and boot to recovery and select apply update...to avoid wiping

This is unreleased update and there is no change log as of yet, plus we don't know if this will be official release.
I think Oreo will be held on Samsung servers not on AT&T, but if on At&T I will get it.

OK. I have another update and is N950USQU1AQIA-to-U2BQJA . Uploading to Google drive but seem like bootloader is updated to 2 and firmware revision to B. So if anybody is willing to take one for team since we don't know if you can downgrade from bootloader 2 to 1 if you need it. I will post link shortly.

Verizon note 3 lollipop?

Does anyone have a leaked firmware update to 5.0 lollipop? For the sm-n900v (verizon)
Every other carrier already has it out. I'm on 4.4.4 kitkat. And want to update. I will root if nessasary as long as it doesn't affect knox. Thank you in advance.
Lol you should really read threads and look for information before posting. Most people wont even bother with your question if its already answered in a thread somewhere . First of you cant root 4.4.4. as of yet. I have a bounty going to get some incentive to get root. But it looks to be locked down tight and i dont see it coming anytime soon. No your stuck reguardless if there is a leak or not you have to wait for the upgrade release by verizon i would recommend not getting the firmware if you want root and wait to see what happens with development.

Is this true? AT&T's OTA for the S7 (Flat) is the same version that I got from the unreleased 7.0 thread?
I bricked my phone trying to go back to PK1, AT&T is sending a warranty replacement but my Wife's phone has this update too. Had I known I wouldn't have even touched it!
So in other words I should be able to receive any future OTA updates right? I should just leave my wife's phone alone?
I appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Hi,
If you sideloaded QA4 (or any build) you must Odin back to APk1 and then you can take the att over the air update. Otherwise, it will always say that you are up to date when you check on your phone.

Android 7.0 Nougat firmware for the Galaxy J7 (2016) now available online

Update: This seems to be a false alarm, or something is currently up with Samsung’s update servers, as the firmware that has gone online for the Indian J7 fails to install on the device. An over-the-air update isn’t available either.
not true: The long-awaited Android 7.0 Nougat firmware for the Galaxy J7 (2016) "SM-J710FN" is now available to download from many sites 'sammobile 'samsung updates' it’ll only work with units registered in India.
Last week, Samsung released a near-identical update for the Galaxy J7 (2016) in Russia. The only difference was the firm started rolling it out over-the-air (OTA), meaning customers didn’t need to manually flash it onto their device.
The OTA should start making the rounds in India in the coming weeks.

Has 1000% to do with the firmware. Has everything to do with the bootloader. The bootloader is locked and cannot be unlocked so perm root is unattainable on the 935A or U firmware.

One Beta official US release Live!!

1. Install samsung+ app from play store and register your note 8 device. You should then see a Galaxy Note 8 device in your account or homepage of the app
2. Go to play store again and on the Samsung + app page scroll down to join beta program for the app
3. Update the app to beta version (11.5.0.1)
4. Restart phone or clear app data and open the Samsung + app again. This time the app will look visually different because it's the beta version of the app
5. The banner should appear just on the homepage below the your note8 model info. Register using that link.
6. After about 5 mins or so. Go to settings- software update and check for updates. You should have the one ui beta update pushed to your device. About 1.5 gigs.
No issues with samsung gear, spay, or Netflix. Confirmed that night mode and Dolby are present
Just to add you need to be on unlocked us firmware n950u
never mind

In the google play store look for Samsung plus. Scroll down the in the app description and sign up to become a beta tester of the samsung plus app. It will then you give you the option to download the updated version of samsung +. Once down you should have access. That or you can do a search for the apk 11.5.0.1
It's still only giving me the 10.21.2.0 from Sept 2018 to download, anyone else experience this after joining beta?

I had the same issue until I flashed the csc file in Odin (not mome_csc). That's if you flashed the unlocked firmware to try to get the beta. After that I unregistered then re-registered for the beta and the download appeared.

Hello and thank you for this nugget of information. I have a 950U purchased from Samsung and on T-Mobile. To confirm, if I was to reflash CRK1 via Odin, for the CSC field, I would need to select the CSC_OYN_N950UOYN5CRK1 file correct and not the 'HOME_CSC_OYN....' file?
Thank you!
I think its just for the unlock model 950u1 not the 950u
edit: we can flash 950u1 firmware on our 950u done and running last update. also got rid of that annoying tmobile boot screen
I ended up reverting to CRK1 and it shows me the updated version of Samsung+ available now so I suspected this was the issue. Running through the steps now to get the beta installed.
