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.

Update by OTA locked

Hey guys. I live in Brazil and have one H870, but it was from a network operator and the updates are locked by the IMEI by this operator. So, I flashed the v20b on it, and it works, but it is unable to find updates by OTA. There is any workaround to bypass this block?
Not sure if I understand correctly. But if I u flashed v20b your phone won't find any additional OTAs because 20b is the most recent firmware.

Yeah, I don't think that happens with someone else outside Brazil. Here, when you get a H870 from a network operator, they put their own customized ROM, that is really slow and consumes a lot of battery. But when you try to flash other ROMs, you don't get any OTA update. Everyone who asked about it got the same answer, they locked the update with the IMEI, and the only way to get OTA update is using the stock operator ROM.

V20b for H870 is the last update for this variant, so you wont find any OTA right now and maybe never more this year.
We hope Android 9 came to this phone but most probably later next year so.
Even tho you cant find OTA you can connect to LG Bridge to check that, but as someone and i already told, v20b is the last one until now.

[HELP] Downgrade

I m on stock rom unrooted with locked bootloader with built no : NPNS25.137-93-10 (April patch).
So my question is how to switch to NPNS25.137-92-14 (JUNE patch), how to do it ?plz help
Why do you want to change to India/Brazil software, safer to just wait for the US, Europe, Retpac version.
Damn, just noticed retin, just fastboot 92.14.
Then you can update to official oreo
Stable version is releasing soon, wait for sometime.

92-14 is firmware for India and Brazil, 93-14 is for Europe,US and Asia Pacific.
It's possible to flash one over the other but you'll change your software channel and may not receive future OTA.
Better to wait for the 8.1 firmware for your region.
Losing IMEI,volte or 4g most likely only happens when you flash a 64 bit custom ROM.
To be on the safe side make a full nandroid backup incl. EFS and persist with latest TWRP 3.2.3.1

Look at the picture, software channel retin with 193-10 installed.
So should be safe to overwrite with latest indian stock release ?

The name of the software channel doesn't change if you flash another firmware version so it's safe from that point of view.
The only thing that's changing is the fact that you don't receive any OTA updates anymore.
The screenshot of the op only shows that he once flashed a firmware that was meant to be used on a US or european device.

Choosing the right stock firmware

I am currently on a 7.1.2 custom rom and want to flash stock Oreo but when I look at the official download list, there seems to be dozens of different variants for AMZ, RETAIL, RETEU etc and I have no idea where to start.
I have an XT1685 (with the NFC chip) and live in Australia, but will be travelling around Russia and Europe for the next 12 months - Can anyone recommend which firmware I should use?

You should use the one you were coming from.
Regarding Oreo stock there are basically just two different firmwares, the ones ending on 85-13-x are for almost all regions, ending on 85-17-x are for the US.
So in your case I would think the latest firmware for non US should be the correct choice, that's 85-13-5:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/official-oreo-coming-soon-t3779098/post78844908
This will take you up to the December security patch.

Reverting Back to Unbranded Unlocked Firmware - Please help

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...
