ditto!
My Sprint phone was rooted and then one day got stuck in a boot loop, but I hate the Sprint bloatware so I downloaded the T-Mobile stock rom and odined it. I left out the home_csc file because I didn't know where to put it and it seems to be working just great.

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.

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.

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?

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

Debranding S8

Hi guys, I'm out of USA.
After many failed attempts still can not debrand my AT&T SM-G950U.
Through ODIN I upgraded successfully to latest G950USQS1AQF7_USC
But can not find any unlocked firmware (XAA) to my S8, only for S8+.
Any idea where to find it?
Thanks.

Not searching very hard then. Update.com and search firmwares for G950U1. You'll see the latest XAA listed.
Works great (Minus volte and wifi calling), I've been running it myself

Thanks joe3681 for you answer.
Firmware downloaded from sammobile (G950U1UEU1AQE3_G950U1OYM1AQE3_XAA)
But i got the following error when try to install it: FAIL! Model dismatch fail

Sounds like it's not correct fw then.

This is what I used and it worked perfect. I also always use the modded Odin and remove .md5 off the end of everything once I extract it all.

Ok!!

Could you plz provide the link for upgrading to AQF7. I have an at&t galaxy s8 as well and i am outside US so haven't been able to update it. I have unlocked my phone already. Bt no OTA updates. Plz provide me the link for the file. Thank you. I have
Baseband version :G950USQU1AQC9
Android security patch March 1, 2017

Hi Guys, I'm in the same case as the OP, and I have always updated via Odin using Sammobile's firmware, which only includes the AP file. I already downloaded the modded Odin and firmware from joe's post, but it includes a lot more files.
Should I load all the files to Odin? or just flashing the AP file would be OK? Thank you very much in advance!

[GUIDE]: Flash Oreo build G955FXXU1CRB7 - SM-G955F

New Odin was leaked! New guide is here.
New Oreo build for Samsung Galaxy S8+ (SM-G955F) is live! G955FXXU1CRB7/G955FOXM1CRAP/G955FXXU1CRAP
Download: https://mega.nz/#F!7wo3nJID!2BPhlHlXVLNOzoxF8Cwbcw (OXM multi-CSC FW)
How to install:
Download Odin
Extract Firmware ZIP, open Odin and load BL, AP, CP and CSC packages.
Put the phone into Download mode, connect it to PC and press Start.
This FW contains both, CSC and HOME_CSC packages. CSC will repartition your device and wipe all your data, HOME_CSC allows you to keep your data.
Troubleshooting:
Odin says "Fail!":
Make sure you have correct drivers installed, try using different cable or computer.
Storage shows only 16GB after the update:
Try doing factory reset or flash CSC instead of HOME_CSC to repartition the device.
This does NOT trip KNOX!
Or if you don't want to wait, I have created a bash script, which repacks the firmware for you:
GitHub: https://github.com/kernel-killer/sam-fw-tool
All you need to do is drop the script (repack.sh) to folder containing the firmware, open console and execute:
Code:
cd firmware/location && ./repack.sh
You might also need to fetch some prerequisites before running the script:
Code:
sudo apt-get install tar unzip liblz4-tool coreutils
The script is for bash on Linux but can be also run on Ubuntu on Windows 10 (Windows Subsystem for Linux) or Cygwin.

Hi, is the firmware modified to work with Odin? If so, can it be flashed using OFFICIAL Odin? And are those packages properly checksummed? Thanks.

Already on CRAP. Any chance we will be able to flash CRB7 via SD?

Yes it can be flashed with Odin and it checksummed. Original official firmware.

Thanks for the upload - about to flash it now.
What country/region is this firmware based on?
Pardon my potentially silly question - could I flash an XSA CSC file to make this more of an "Australian" release (for example HOME_CSC_XSA_G955FXSA1AQFE_CL11665648_QB13965623_REV00_user_low_ship.tar)

The firmware contains OXM multi-CSC, it does not matter which region it was meant for (but it was DBT) because all regions included in OXM receive identical firmware.
Generally, it is not recommended to mix parts of different firmwares and because G955FXSA1AQFE was CSC for Nougat, it cannot be guaranteed, that it will work, however, if it worked with CRAP, it should work with CRB7, too.

S8 Active Help (Baseband version is G892AUCS3BRG1)

Hello guys, I have just now heard that At&T is rolling out the Android Pie update to the S8 Active. Unfortunately, I do not have a AT&T SIM card on my device currently. This causes my phone to not get ANY updates. The only update I last got was when I sent my phone to a Samsung Technician after I bricked my phone from failed root attempts. I am currently in Android 8.0.0. Is there any way to flash any Pie firmware to my phone even though it is Bootloader v3? Any help is GREATLY appreciated as I am getting so tired of Oreo. I tried using Smart Switch but it says my phone is in the latest firmware update which is a lie, my security patch level is July 2018...
Edit: I have recently unlocked my phone from AT&T in hopes of getting an update, but I didn't know the firmware would stay. And no, I do not have ANY access to AT&T SIM cards or stores.
Edit 2: Solved! I just used a firmware download I got from this forum because sammobile.com did not have it here it is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bw-cYNY1KoEH4Pa-a9dJRQJW09r_uw93/view Just flash this firmware to your phone from Odin! This does not risk breaking or voiding your warranty if you still have one! I am enjoying Pie right now! Give thanks to the who supplied me with the firmware link and youdoofus who actually responded to me. I just wanted to be assured that the firmware that is Pie will be good for my device. This is for people who do not have ATT SIM on their phone or cannot receive update. Model number must be from ATT and SM-G892A!

the problem youre going to run into is the availability of firmwares for your phone. sammobile.com/firmwares was a bust, looking elsewhere for ya. But if you have a computer, usb type-c cable Odin and the correct firmware version and are able to get to download mode, then you should be in good shape.

So I have a firmware at hand with my phone model that is pie, if I update it through Odin, will it void my warranty? Or will there be any chance it will brick my phone because I have done this many times. If it wasn't for ATT bootloader v3 I would've not been asking all these questions. I have already used sammobile.

it will not void your warranty. isnt your warranty expired on an S8 anyways? only rooting/unlocking bootloader will void the warranty.

the firmware version in your link is the one in this article which is pie, so yes. As far as Odin goes, i usually default to the newest one if im out downloading one anyways. 3.13.1 is the latest version. https://odindownload.com/SamsungOdin/#.XWFVzOhKjb0

Some tips before flashing? Did you flash every file on the .zip archive? (BL_ , AP_ , CSC and so?)
Factory reset before/after flashing?

Since its just an update, you are able to keep your data if you put HOME_CSC in the bottom box. So, yes use every file if you want to keep your data. If not, put CSC where its supposed to be and thats it. I don't have access to my computer but thats what I did. You don't need factory reset. Just go to any "How to Install Any Firmware Update through Odin" Video on YouTube and you should see a good tutorial. It is just an update. I hope I fixed you problem! Don't be nervous about updating, only be nervous when you flash a ROM on it!

Some tips before flashing? Did you flash every file on the .zip archive? (BL_ , AP_ , CSC and so?)
Factory reset before/after flashing?

nothing other than having the correct version of Odin for your phone and ADB drivers installed along with the correct firmware files. And yes the Home_CSC is to not factory reset, and the regular CSC is to factory reset it

PIT Error
I tried flashing the files you provided, but it keeps failing on "Get PIT for Mapping". I tried 4 times and every one failed on the same part. I am on the exact same baseband version you were on, the provider is AT&T and the phone is unlocked. I don't get what the problem is...

you need to go into the CSC file and extract the PIT. once extracted, go into the other options in Odin and put the pit in its slot, then reflash with the CSC you got the PIT from in its proper place along with the others.

Alright, how do I go about extracting the PIT file from the CSC file?

The CSC is just a compressed file, so WinRAR will do it if 7zip doesnt

I did that but it didn't change anything. Do I need to remove the pit file from the CSC file?
