How can I flash my G950U1 to the latest Verizon Firmware?
I'm currently using a US Unlocked S8 and I need WiFi calling that required me (my understanding) to use the Verizon firmware.
Model: SM-G950U1
Current Baseband: G950U1ES5CRF5
Current Build: R16NW.G950U1ES5CRF5
Is this possible? Not seeing a lot of post going in that direction but I'm trying to save my phone from using all my battery for cell standby or whatever its using to use all of its battery in my low coverage area of home and work.

I have some what of a unique issue, so I would really appreciate some help. Here is what lead me to where I am now.
1. I got the phone in Hong Kong, however, the seller said it was from USA, it says Verizon on the back.
2. It was on 6.01 G930VVRS4APH but there was no Verizon bloat when I got it. (strange right?)
3. The private mode did not work when I got it, so I used Odin to flash Nougat G930VVRU4BQA2
4. Now private mode works, but now I have Verizon bloat, not so great battery life and low signal most of the time.
So I assuming it's because I am using a Verizon firmware in China, that the signal keeps searching for a Verizon SIM or USA bands and it drains the battery. Yes I am using "global" mode in network options.
So at this point what I would like to do is get a stock Nougat experience for an "international" (all radio bands are active) unlocked firmware (not tied to any mobile carrier)
Which firmware should I use? And will it trip knox? I was thinking the G930U, but there is no Nougat for that version yet. Is my best bet to flash the G930U Marshmallow for now to hopefully get good signal and battery again and then update to Nougat when the official firmware is released?
Thank you so much.
So I switched to T-Mobile from ATT. I kept my unlocked S7 but didnt realize I would lose WI-Fi Calling which is a must because I get pretty bad service.
Does anyone have the files and steps to flash T software via Odin?
I have:
G930A 7.0
Baseband: G930AUCU4BQF3
I am currently using a Samsung S8 Active, SM-892U with baseband G892USQS3BRH2. This is a T-Mobile branded rom however I am an AT&T customer so I want to switch to G892AUCS3BRG1 which as I understand it is the current AT&T release. Am I able to just load the 5 files in Odin and do it?
Hello, all. I have an unlocked S8 (G950U1) in my possession. I originally had AT&T as my carrier and I switched to Verizon Prepaid a week or two ago. When I switched, I noticed my phone picked up HD Voice and VoLTE. I was hoping to get Wi-Fi Calling but I do not see that option active anywhere in the dialer or my network settings. I think I need to be on Verizon's firmware. I am fairly tech-saavy, but I have never flashed the firmware on any Android phone before. I am currently on Android Pie (PPR1.180610.011.G950U1UEU5DSC1). My firmware specs are as follows:
Product Code: SM-G950UZBAVZW
PDA: G950U1UEU5DSC1
CSC: G950U1OYM5DSC1
BASEBAND: G950U1UEU5DSC1
BOOTLOADER: G950U1UEU5DSC1
To go about getting Verizon firmware properly on my phone, do I need to download the PDA,CSC, BASEBAND and BOOTLOADER for the G950U Verizon variant or the G950U1? I also noticed the guides for flashing standard firmware. Do I need to go through the entire process (sorting out which bootloader to download, carrier switch procedure) or can I just use the Flashing Standard Firmware Procedure? Any help and guidance would be much appreciated!
Hello all,
Newbie here.
I have a galaxy 8+ that I got a few years ago that had US Cellular.
I flashed it to an unlocked bloatfree U1 firmware.
I've been using MVNOs all that time, but now I have ATT service (they have great deals in the US right now) and I want to use att with all the bloat (wifi calling, hd voice, etc).
I'm on G955U1 and need to find stock ATT SM-G955U firmware that will support bootloader 7 (baseband is G955U1UES7DTC1).
Tried Sammobile but it appears as if the firmware they have is for Android 7 supporting bootloader 1.
Not quite sure how to use updato. From what I can see, there are no bootloader 7 firmware packages and the one att package is U1.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Wondering if it would be make sense flash to US Cellular using the sammoble firmware.
Problem is it doesn't get me to ATT.
