G950U All_OYN firmware

Hello all,
I have a question regarding the base firmware I have found that is All_OYN_G950USQU1AQC8 multi cert tar.md5 . This firmware seems to be the base stock factory firmware and one user has tried to install it on the Sprint variant of G950U along with the PIT file and repartition. What seems to have happened is that we seemed to have returned to stock Sprint firmware. However, does anyone know why Sprint bootanimation and such will remain? Is this an issue with the firmware package (4.4GB and seems to have all G950U carriers within the file) or is this an issue with the ODIN software for this phone? Also, I know Sprint is a pain to deal with bc they seem to Carrier SIM lock once their SIM card is inserted. Maybe someone could shed some light on this process for us. I personally don't have another SIM to try. I will post the links to both the thread and firmware and pit files below in post 2. Also, found an interesting firmware that claims to have the eng bootloader but can't get it from the site as I am not able to purchase via yuan.
Thanks for anyones and everyone's help.

I believe the issue is we need the newer Odin with the userdata slot. That is where the boot animation and carrier specific items are.

I actually found the carrier specific files including the carrier forced install settings in cache.img.ext4 inside the firmware tar.md5 file

Nice! The test devices allow switching carriers just by changing the SIM. Maybe we can find a way to get the retail devices to do that.

Also guys I found this, not able to buy nor do I know much about it but the file name seems interesting

I don't remember much about it, but certainly couldn't see why it would cost more other than it being hard to find.

Looked up the issues i reported with it, most were app crashes or sluggish response. Probably not one i would pay for

Hey guys the device we are testing is mine. Also thinking it might be the odin. The funny thing is that I flashed that firmware and everything from sprint (meaning apps etc.) its not there except of course for the splash screen and locked to the carrier. Im still waiting on the ODIN because I bought a Sprint Galaxy S8 thinking it was unlocked and NOPE!!!

I just received an update for switch, now my phone shows the option to initialise. May try it out, and make sure you can get it back to stock. Especially since you are willing to flash firmwares and test for us!

When you say all carrier bloat removed, that's not including secure folder does it?

That's not carrier bloat. Carrier bloat would include things like T-Mobile NameID, T-Mobile TV, etc.

So I flashed only the AP tar. Secure folder won't setup. Its says unauthorized software was installed. Is this because I didn't flash the other files?
Tell you what thought! This debloated firmware is pretty nice and clean. Properly debloated and not KC debloated where it doesn't work well And battery discharge is seems very good. I think its been a little bit over an hour and I'm still at 100% after taking off charge. Thanks for this OP.
Nvm my dilemma. I put 2 and 2 together and it actually equaled 4. I put all the files in the proper slots and got my TMO firmware debloated. This is awesome! Thanks again!

Help unlocking a phone

So a friend gave me a free smart phone for my birthday so I could play pokemon go. Its a Samsung galaxy core prime, a Trac fone version. My current phone is an LG Cosmos 2. My problem is apparently the phone is locked from accepting my Verizon plan so I can't switch my number over. Verizon gave me a new SIM card for it. The phone reads it's there, but when I tried to switch my number it wouldn't activate. Verizon said it's because it was a pre paid and hadn't been on long enough to unlock it fully. Is there any work around so I can unlock it and use it on my Verizon account? I am having issues with the back up assistant on my LG Cosmos. Its ttached to my old number and won't switch. So none of my numbers will back up. Which means switching them to my new phone won't work. Thank you to anyone who can help.

Well I guess no one knows.

Try reinstalling your rom. Download your rom (details are in -settings -about phone) the put your phone into recovery and flash the rom using odin.

It can brick your phone if you have an old odin version or the wrong rom.. and just try it one time.. maybe backup your data with Kies.exe to be save

I noticed that every time I flashed back and forth, remnants of Sprint stayed until I performed the carrier switching part of my guide...at which point I was able to put complete T-Mobile...For you, maybe that may help going from unlocked to VZW.

Sim works fine in my my backup Note 5. Also works fine in my Note 8 on unlocked fw. Its just when I return to stock it does not register on any network. Seems to have something to do with my csc files. Using the Samsung device info app it says there are no available csc's and my build version is listed as XAA instead of VZW like when it was original stock. Maybe you could do a step by step guide for return to stock. I must be missing a step somewhere. Thanks for the help btw.

Someone said to add fota to apn using shortcut master lite to get OTA from ATT if you don't get OTA updates normally...but yeah if all is stock and working cohesively you should get OTA from them. If you are on unlocked and you just flashed csc and USERDATA files you may still get from Samsung...you just got ATT to whitelist the imei...
Some of the unlocked updates have came from carriers...though (it's kind of odd I looked at where my SPR SM-N950U1 came from and it was the same server that the Sprint s8+ updates came from...then I went back to just XAA and checked for the XAA SM-N950U1 and it was a Samsung server...so you may be getting ATT no matter what once your imei is rightfully registered...

All firmwares for SM-N950U and SM-N950U1 are located at link in OP....for those looking for Firmware

Not sure, I haven't looked....
My zips include BL, AP, CP, CSC, HOME_CSC, and USERDATA...
This one is ATT...
It is compressed individually...and includes a note to use new Odin

So I just flashed the latest att firmware on my Verizon note 8 and just trying to get volte and wifi calling to work but no luck. I've read the combanation file is need to "carrier switch" but none of the combanation files seem like they go with the latest pie firmware? And help and or pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated

My Note 8 was purchased from ATT, then I unlocked it using a service, then I switched to T Mobile years later. When I switched to T Mobile, the firmware updated itself to T Mobile after I booted with a T Mobile SIM.
Now, I am trying to flash it to U1_XAA so that I can gift it to someone in China. However, after factory resets, even from the recovery menu, it fails almost immediately during flashing. Would you please guide me on how to get this flashed to U1_XAA? Or is it ok just to leave it the way it is (U_TMB) and send it out?
Thank you!
P.S. this is with Android Pie, since I got the update while I was still on ATT. I tried flashing with the patched Odin as well, same thing...
