I was just curious if it was at all possible to flash the firmware from the T377P model to the AT&T model (T377A) because it seems like most of the development is for the T377P. Has anyone achieved this yet or attempted flashing any other model's firmware to the T377A?
Flashing SM-T377P firmware on a SM-T377A wouldnt work, because the T377P uses a Snapdragon 410, not an Exynos 3475 like the T377A uses. Flashing SM-T377T (T-Mobile) firmware might work, since it uses the same Exynos CPU as the T377A

I'm just curious what the best alternative firmware would be to flash (if possible at all) on this tablet because there's absolutely zero development on the AT&T variant (T377A) of the Tab E. Preferably a firmware that's been successfully rooted, etc.

Unfortunately nothing can be developed for the T377A because the bootloader on that variant is locked, so that means we can't do anything to the device, even with Odin. If there was a way to convert a T377A to a T377T, or if there is engineering firmware for the T377A, then maybe development is possible.
On another note, I found somebody's backup of the Nougat firmware for the T377A: https://mega.nz/#!eHJSUCoZ!54BXNlvrL6RJfEHzS4qNOj3eqwCpxSrzrI2l_IqHe84
Contains the AP, BL, CP and CSC files.

Can you please describe what you did to unlock it? I've tried 1000 things and nothing seems to work
You have to request the unlock code from AT&T, there's a slight difference between doing it for phones from your own plan or someone else's phone (you received as a gift or purchased second hand). They walk you through the process for each type of equipment so it's relatively smooth.. I just want to remove the bloatware and have a security update more recent than tree years old. This is my main gripe with AT&T, stuck with questionable bloatware and a vulnerable version of Android (and it's locked down so tight no one can fix it on their own).
So you were able to unlock the bootloader by following an AT&T tech over the phone?

Here I discovered a new firmware for N5120:
https://samsung-firmware.org/download/GT-N5120/wo45/NEE/N5120XXSDQC1/N5120OXXDNE1/
Phone Samsung GT-N5120
Model GT-N5120
PDA Version N5120XXSDQC1
CSC Version N5120OXXDNE1
PHONE Version N5120XXDNE4
Region NEE
Country Nordic countries
Build Date 30.03.2017
Changelist 1600517
OS KitKat
OS Version 4.4.2
Updated OTA:
new kernel and new security patch:
I am tired of dealing with SGH-I467's (AT&T only) locked bootloader. It makes installing custom ROM impossible. Now I'm thinking of buying and swapping in a mainboard from SGH-I467M (the Canadian version is bootloader UNLOCKED) or GT-N5120 (international version).
1. will this give me an unlocked bootloader without any other hardware change? I know I probably have to swap in a new modem code, but with an unlocked bootloader, any software change is possible
2. will the mainboard from GT-N5120 work in a SGH-I467? I know SGH-I467M's mainboard will for sure work in SGH-I467 because the only difference is the latter has a locked bootloader. Unfortunately, SGH-I467M's mainboard is hard to come by, but GT-N5120's is still available. Although the LTE bands in N5120 are overseas and SGH-I467 has AT&T bands, are they really different hardware, or same hardware with different software?
[Updated Feb 9th, 2018] Now I don't think it is doable at all to download SGH-I467 or SGH-I467M's modem code to a GT-N5120 hardware even if the bootloader is unlocked. I have a Canadian Galaxy S4, SGH-I337M (bootloader unlocked, unlike the AT&T version). Since my carrier is U.S. T-Mobile, I tried to download T-Mobile's modem to my S4 thinking it may give me better data rate. Odin prompted Fail! (Auth) and S4 showed Secure Check Fail! After some googling, I realize regardless of unlocked bootloader, these phones/tablets are engineered to check if authorized modem codes are being flashed. I know for sure my S4's bootloader is unlocked because I have installed TWRP for recovery.
Since GT-N5120 has international frequency bands, turning it into a North American tablet is DOA if another carrier's modem code cannot be installed. If anyone questions why a custom ROM can be flashed to a phone/tablet with unlocked bootloader, it is because a custom ROM seldom comes with the modem code!

That firmware is almost year old now..
I have no issues with my at&t i467, it runs and does everything my modded Note 8.0 does. Except a lack of custom recovery, and kernel. All you need is to learn a bit on simple file managment and permissions, while plugging away with dropping in system files and libs. I guess I will be the only one here with a modded out yank i467 that works on EU wifi channels.
I had a few threads on libs and apps, along with settings config files to customise on your own. But everybody acts like it's complex trig. Heck i hardly knew much about android when I bought my tablets, and in a years time peeps think i am a god. WTFF!

Great idea! Thank you. Says who one has to do all mods during the Odin time and get rejected by this locked bootloader? I will definitely look up your threads on how to swap out these files post boot.

Hello, I would like to know if I can flash my verizon galaxy s8 with tmobile software, or any other model, since I can see that this year all the carriers are using the same model G950U. That is, a single model with different carriers, very similar to how the international version G950F works which is the same model for all carriers in Europe and allows you to change the software through ODIN. I hope someone can help me. Thank you very much.

From what I've gathered is that there's a user data partition that dictates the carrier and Odin currently doesn't allow flashing of this.
Saw this as a comment somewhere here and best I've seen so far.
Personally I think it is just a matter of time before we figure this phone out and will be able to do whatever we want. They already have root for Exynos model and I think now the search is on for modified Odin, as Tehpirate said. I believe they had modified Odin for S7, to do similar stuff, so it's not like starting from scratch.
I hope is the same like the s7 U firmware... That's nice cause I can flash U firmware and get rid of the carrier bloatware.
So I've spent a few hours searching XDA to find the right resources on how to flash a different U.S. carrier's GS7 Edge firmware on the T-Mobile branded device. I found out that since all the internal hardware for all U.S. devices are identical, I'd be able to flash any one carrier's firmware on to any carrier's device, provided there are no inconsistencies with the bootloader versions of the firmwares.
The phone is intended for an extended family member and I am able to purchase a T-Mobile GS7 Edge for significantly cheaper than from any other carrier. Because it will be used on AT&T's network, I wanted to make sure I got everything right before I get started. I either want to flash the AT&T version which will allow it to be fully compatible on the network, or the Unlocked version. Apparently, the unlocked version is completely debloated since it's not associated with any carrier and provides better benchmarks, especially battery life, so I'm interested in that.
I've compiled the resources I need in the following:

etc.
One question I have is whether I am able to flash the Unlocked firmware at all. I don't currently have the device in hand so I can't check the baseband version, but my understanding is that the Unlocked version is currently on a lower bootloader version whereas it is v4 for AT&T or T.Mobile. This would mean I would be able unable to flash the Unlocked firmware if the device already has a higher version of the bootloader, right? Conversely, I would be able to do so if the T-Mobile bootloader was on the same version as the Unlocked version (e.g., if the device hasn't had an update to its bootloader).. The same issue would arise if I wanted to go back to a carrier firmware. Where can I find a list of T-Mobile firmwares and their bootloader versions so that I can check? Threads I've searched are saying I can't go to 935U from 935A/T because of mismatching bootloaders but others are saying I can go back to 935A/T on Nougat (same bootloader versions?) so clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Just discovered the bootloader version can be determined by looking at the 9th character in the baseband version. Pretty simple!
Another question I have is whether flashing the AT&T firmware will give me VoLTE, Wifi Calling, tethering, etc. on AT&T's network. I've established that if I flashed the Unlocked firmware, I'll lose these functions (unless I root the phone, but that's a no-go since I need Samsung Pay intact). Just wanted to make sure that I would retain these features if I flashed the AT&T firmware on the T-Mobile device. Also, would I receive all OTAs pushed from AT&T while I'm on their firmware, even though it was a T-Mobile device? Or would I have to manually update it somehow?
Many thanks in advance.
Yes you can flash the unlocked firmware, I do recommend flashing the at&t CP (radio) though for better signal.
For tmobile all we lose is video calling, we retain everything else. I can't answer your other questions since I have not used this phone from tmobile on at&t. I have used the at&t model on tmobile with U and had no issues.

^^^^^this man is correct. Also, is the device you want to flash Carrier unlocked? Even though youre flashing a different carriers firmware or even the U firmware I believe the IMEI still needs to be unlocked from the original carrier. Obviously just pop the at&t sim card in the t mobile phone to see if its unlocked. hope this helps.

Yes, it'll be unlocked, so there won't be problems there. If I flash the AT&T firmware and not the Unlocked firmware, I will retain video calling, yes?

flashing the at&t firmware will just be like having an original at&t s7 edge so yes. The Unlocked firmware will be lighter with no video calling(no carrier apps, no carrier boot animation, some of the quick toggles will be different) you will retain VOLTE HD calling, wifi calling(if at&t has that) and with the at&t you will have all the bloat (about 2-3 GB of used storage plus more a tad bit more use on ram usage) which will use more battery. remember like stated above, if you do decide to flash the U firmware, make sure you flash the latest At&t CP being you will have better coverage since youll be on the at&t network.

1) Will the device status remain "Unmodified" - I use Good for Enterprise for work email and it won't function on rooted or modified devices
2) Will Android Pay Work?
3) Will I get Software updates directly?

I Flashed an AT&T S7 Edge with T-Mobile firmware and:
1) Status remains unmodified
2) Android pay works (as well as Samsung pay)
3) I've already got 2 T-Mobile pushed firmware updates that installed without any issues.
Don't know if this helps, but I'd think it would be the same going from T-Mobile to AT&T.
I did also have to use a modified version of "ODIN" and flash a "PIT" file because T-Mobile has a different partition than AT&T.

Am I doing everything right?
Should I just flash all U files (including Radio) and flash ATT Radio later?

All US variants can flash the firmware interchangeably. Just download the corresponding firmware and flash everything(Except for the modem if you'd want to keep the original modem). You dont need anything special. If the default odin dont work, then try the comey "cracked" version.

Why is it that we use the CP for AT&T; however, use the Unlocked CP for TMobile? Are the radios the same for the unlocked and T-Mobile variants? Where would I get this information if I needed it in the future?
I have a GS7 edge locked to T-Mobile with the Device Unlock app. Will flashing G9350U firmware unlock my device and bypass the Device Unlock app or will I still need to use this app to unlock?
Radios are different. I flashed ATT Radio after I flashed U firmware. Though honestly I cannot tell the difference

What pit file did you flash? Did you flash the the pit file Odin pulls from your phone? Did you flash an att specific pit file?
I'm completely new to the Android OS and have a question.
I purchased a used Galaxy S8 SM-950U (Unlocked with AT&T branding on load) with Android Version 7.0.
How would I go about updating it to Android Version 8.0 in terms of getting the correct files? I probably can't use, for example, the Verizon Oreo version for this phone which looks to be AT&T branded, so would I go on AT&T's website to get the correct files or how does that usually work?

If its unlocked you can use any US firmware you want yes it will just have that carriers apps I dont know the exacts but its not to bad
keep in mind if you are looking to root you have to stay on 7.0 revision 2 bootloader or less any thing 3 or higher which is 8.0 we cannot root

Thank you for your answer. So it sounds like I could even go with a non carrier branded version straight from Samsung without bloatware (if there is such a thing?)
Good point on the root. As far as I have read the bootloader is different from the OS, so would it be possible to root it with a 7.0 bootloader and install a newer OS (8.0 or 9.0). Or do these always go hand in hand?

Good point on the root. As far as I have read the bootloader is different from the OS, so would it be possible to root it with a 7.0 bootloader and install a newer OS (8.0 or 9.0). Or do these always go hand in hand?

hand in hand kinda
7.0 bootloaders dont work for 8.0
you can i think use comsy odin and install the 950u1 bootloader 2 firmware which is unbranded to maintain it

Hey Everybody,
So I've come to realize that my unlocked US S10+ on AT&T didn't have VOLTE or Wifi calling as options in the communication/call settings menus. this is pretty disappointing as it seems that using the unlocked phone with Verizon you get these features, and they make a decent impact on my use of the phone.
My understanding is if I flash the ATT firmware to the phone I would get the functions, so being an amateur I followed some simple guides to SamFirm AND ODIN, and downloaded the ATT CSC firmware for my model number. However after going through the Odin process and resetting my phone it is still showing the same Software information as prior to my installation, and I do not have the features.
I saw a thread on the board stating that the ATT firmware isn't available yet, so I'm not sure if what I downloaded was actually any different than what is on my phone,and my phones "Service Provider Software Version" did already have ATT in the description, which is a bit confusing to me.
Am I correct in understanding the only way to get the features would be through a firmware flash? And would anyone know if I had flashed the right firmware, and what the original firmware CSC would be for my model if I needed to revert?
My information is:
Model Number:
SM-G975U1 (S10+ ceramic white 512GB - Unlocked US)
Service Provider SW ver.:
SOAMC_SM-G975U1_OYM_ATT_PP_0018
R38M205LY2B
ATT/ATT/XAA
Firmware file obtained from SamFirm:
SM-G975U1_1_20190225093814_9wyh9qbuyg_fac
AP file name for reference:
AP_G975U1UEU1ASBA_CL15445662_QB22243196_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta_OS9.tar
If it's anything like the S9 was, you can't just ODIN the firmware/CSC. You'll just get the bloat with none of the features you want.

I've heard this as well. If you want those features on a Samsung phone, it has to be at&t branded. I ordered an at&t phone from Samsung since I make good use of wifi calling. It works fine on my unlocked P3XL but no dice on the Samsungs.
I have the same phone and service and when I went to update my imei they told me it could not find the phone. So I was without lte/4g for a day until I gave them a imei to a s8 active. Now I have data at least

So I have the same service provider software, on my unlocked s10+, however when I went into an ATT store and looked at a branded S10+
I noticed the service provider software version to be : SOAMC_SM-G975U1_OYM_ATT_PP_0033( thirty three at end),
so anyway to update the service provider version? does that come from the SIM ??
I have an unlocked S10 plus and I flashed the AT&T Firmware. I now have VoLTE and WiFi calling unlocked on my phone using AT&T. You need to make sure you flash the U version of the firmware, not the U1 one. Unlocked S10 is using the U1 firmware already so flashing that one again changes nothing.

Where did you get the att firmware?

I kinda doubt it but did any of you with unlocked phones that flashed the AT&T firmware get any better service? I've been considering it to get VOLTE but just wondered

I followed this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s10/how-to/att-ota-ota-updates-t3909697
At first like you I downloaded the wrong version and nothing changed. I finally flashed G975USQU1ASBA and now have VOLTE/WIFI Calling and of course all of the bloat. But at least those two functions are working. Make sure that you complete a clean flash when I did a dirty flash I had problems sticking on the loading screen.
I believe you just need to call in ATT to take care those carrier specific features .
Which firmware can I flash with Odin to my S10+ Xfinity Mobile unlocked to get AT&T OTA updates? Currently have ASF7 flashed from the latest unknown firmware uploaded to Sammobile. I flashed w/o USERDATA. I just want to be able to get future OTA updates as I just switched my carrier from Metro by T-Mobile to AT&T. I was using U1 US unlocked firmwares on my Note9 & S10+ but want to use carrier perks now with AT&T.
What's with AT&T being the only ones to not release update files? You would think they all would be required to release them. More AT&T customers need kick up a fuss about it.
