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 too am looking for some pointers on this one. Does AT&T WiFi Calling, VoLTE work on a G935A on a T-Mobile ROM?

you can get it to work,you download the tmobile nougat firmware form the T-mobile Galaxy S7 edge xda forum.Then unzip it after it downloads. Also download princecosmy's odin to bypass the SHA256 error.(You can find that there too). In odin,put the AP,BL,CP,and CSC into their cooresponding slots.AP can take a while to put into tis slot but will do so eventually. As far as the wificalling,it gives an ER06-Invalid SIM,and VoLTE wont work,although Ive heard of some SM-G935F users being able to get both features working

Hello, i am using ATT Galaxy S8 SM-G950U Unlocked Phone. When i am going to search any new update or firmware for my phone, i rarely find them even in sammobile I find most T mobile, verizon, sprint updates or firmware than ATT. So can i use other carrier rom for my device Or i have to stick with this ATT? Currently im using may 2018 firmware for my device. I searched a lot for newer firmware but couldnt get any. And can u tell me when the pie update will come for this device.
Also can i install pie beta on my phone? Bcoz its tells that it will work on snapdragon but doesnt tell att or t mobile or verizon...

Other firmwares will work you might just be missing features like WiFi calling. I don't know the exact dialer code but they is a preconfig dialer code to select csc so once you got the latest you could try that. All the firnwares are identical for each us model you wont brick from flashing another carriers
So thats yes right? I can use other carrier rom without any problem?
please some one answer... my device is att s8 smg950u. so can i use smg950u1 firmware to flash 950u?

As long as it's unlocked. A g950 u. U1 and w all can use any csc from carrier firmware. Pop your sim in and flash your carriers csc from firmware
My phone is G950U but it's made in China and works fine with Bulgarian SIM. I have no info about the original carrier. CSC code is TGY, can I flash G950U1 with CSC XAA (Unlocked)?

Yes, the thing is I don't have my carrier CSC available for download since I'm using it in Europe. Wondering if I need to revert flash how to source TGY (Hong Kong) factory rom? Seems all available for download are US-based CSCs only.
My main concern is OTA is currently failing completely, I am hoping to restore by moving away from the TGY code, does that need carrier switching process or just flash 950U1 on top including user data ?

Im pretty sure u1 model pretty much is csc-less i would try to flash the u1 firmware directly and flash the home csc in u1 firmware which should leave it open. BL" "AP" "CP" "CSC" is all you should flash. User data would add a carrier. If you dont it will leave it open.....
If updates are all your lookong for. Just use odin to manually update

I tried 950U XAS and 950U1 downloaded with SamFirm and all versions of Odin but all failed . Strange my S7 from Verizon is able to use OTA in Bulgaria but not this Hong Kong S8.

You are either using the wrong odin or a older firmware.
Or. To flash unlocked firmware you must first flash the combination file then unlocked firmware.
Hello
Does anyone know how to flash a US rom that supports the fm radio tuner and use a canadian (koodo) CSC file? Has anyone had success doing this?
Thanks
After reading lots of posts on xda and elsewhere about firmware switching I am a little confused. My S8 SM-G950W is unlocked and on bootloader version 5. Is it possible to load the SM-G950U1 bootloader version 5 firmware then apply the Koodo CSC file to get the Koodo bands and features?

I believe what you have to do is flash the revision 5 bootloader combination file. Then the revision 5 u1 firmware. Then your W firmware csc.
The u1 firmware without the csc should pick up the band's. But you won't have any carrier apps. Which you should be able to download your carriers personalized apps after the fact.
Which version of combination file would I use? The 950w or 950u1 ? I cant find a 950w bl version 5 combination file. My phone has g950wvls5bsa1 firmware on it now. Do i need to use a modified odin to flash or just the regular version?

The only combo is for the u model there isnt one for w. Well it is the u combo. Either 3.13 moded or comsy one of the two. But again after that you need to flash a u1 firmware or such and try your csc. And again im not 100 % postive if that works that way. But it should. So make sure you got what evrr backed up
Ok Thanks for your help.
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!
Hello, I have a Samsung S8 that I bought unlocked at Best Buy 2 years ago in USA. It was with android 7.0 at that time.
I can't receive updates automatically now because I flashed it with ODIN last year to get Android 8.0 before the carrier that I use was ready to offer it. So the updates won't be automatic anymore.
So my phone is an unlocked one and I tought that the model # was supposed to be SM-G950U1 when it's factory unlocked but mine is SM-G950U. How can that be possible? I looked at my phone specs and my CSC is still XAA so it's really unlocked. I want to install Andoid Pie manually and I don't know what firmware to use on SAMmobile to flash it to android P because none of the files for the SM-G950U is with CSC XAA. Only SM-G950U1 have XAA firmare available. I don't want to lock my phone to a particular carrier.
Another thing I tried to update my phone: I used a series of firmware updates available at firmware.science. The problem is that the last update I did was from G950USQU4CRE9 to G950USQU5CRG1. If I want to continue the chain of updates, the next available step is from G950USQU5CRG3 so I'm blocked because I'm at G950USQU5CRG1. What can I do to go further in my update process?
Ultimately I want to be able to automatically update my phone to android Pie.
Thanks!

You can use SamFirm, SamMobile or Updato to download SM-G950U firmware G950USQU5DSC1. (Don't download G950USQS5CSB1 which is for Sprint or Verizon.) That firmware file includes all CSCs for US carriers and the one that gets used depends on the sales code in your phone, which is XAA in this case. Flash that firmware in Odin and you should be fine.
Oh, and I am 100% sure that the G950U firmware includes the XAA CSC... It's installed on my phone right now!

I looked on updato and the link for the update doesn't work. On SAMmobile I see 7 different countries/carriers for the file G950USQU5DSC1 for the SM-G950U. Which one should I get? None of the is XAA.

It shouldn't matter. Choose the T-Mobile one (TMB) and you should be fine.

Hello, all I did was to choose the right firmware on SAMmobile (https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950U/TMB/download/G950USQU5DSC1/264390/), download it and follow each step to update with ODIN like you can see by searching on Google "How to Install Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ Android Pie (One UI) Update".
I'm not in US even if I bought my phone in the US and it works in Canada with any carrier with the firmware from T-mobile. That is all I can tell you about how to choose the right firmware.
