Help: Information about my s8 phone? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I'm sorry to use Google Translate because I'm not good at speaking English . My s8 phone can't tell which version it is? Sprint, T-mobie, Verizon or At&T. And I can't update via OTA in settings, so can I know which version it is? Which rom install for my s8 phone? thanks all.

I don't know which ROM to install for my phone, because CSC and Baseband and PDA are different. It cannot be updated by OTA in settings. My android right now is 8.0.

I may be wrong but I am somewhat sure that it is a hardware issue. A new phone solved my issues and some others. See my other posts for more information.
Exactly which post ?

There's a thread on the T-Mo APB8 update in the T-Mo S7 section.
I finally got PD1 (April 2 security patch) for my G930FD CAM (baseband G930FXXU1APD1).
New Update available
"The update comes with firmware version FXXU1APE9 for both phones. "
Source: http://www.sammobile.com/2016/05/21...s7-edge-get-an-update-with-various-bug-fixes/
On BTU and haven't even had the May security patch yet!
FXXU1APE9 seems to be made for INS / XTO India / Brazil and not available on SmartSwitch / Sammobile yet, only OTA

Yes you can flash it.
I installed G930FXXS1APG3 and Samsung camera can't save to sdcard. (Other apps can save fine in /Android/data/app name) Can someone confirm this please?

I downloaded the firmware yesterday and haven't had any issues. My camera is saving to SD card just fine. And I have no way to prove this but the phone feels less laggy on the web. Don't know if that was part of the update or just happened with the rebuilding of all the app caches on first boot.
Edit:scratch that, T-Mobile pushed out a firmware yesterday too but it was APG1, not APG3. Sorry
Who can tell me what's new in this rom? Thanks

There isnt anything really changed except for the latest security patch. I have however, moved to the Netherlands Firmware as they are getting the latest quicker. The latest update is G930FXXS1APG4 with a build date on July 4th.

Odin failing at sboot.bin could mean you are flashing wrong firmware for your phone or your trying to flash older version firmware than what is on your phone(bootloader version). Have you tried latest firmware g950fxxu4cri5.
Yes,I think it's the last one for my phone,actually using RENOVATE_ICE_G95X-13.4,but now I see that it was locked to a Portuguese operator, MEO and I'm trying to flash the unlocked operator rom, could it be that?

Could be. I don't use carrier branded firmware and if I can help it never will there's enough crap just with Google and Samsung. If it does fail with unbranded (carrier) firmware then flash the carrier version. Either way you will more than likely need the latest firmware version to return to stock rom.

it doesn´t want to cooperate,already tested a Carrier rom and unbranded and the error it´s always the same,after loading the binaries on Odin and the COM port get´s blues it fails on the first step.
Finally made it,using this tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647

My Phone Cannot fetch new updates

Hello,
I have Samsung Galaxy S10+ unlocked which I purchased in March-2019.
It is not able to update to latest version of software. The last update it got was in April-2019.
After that it does not get any new updates. I downloaded SmartSwitch App, in hopes that it will update the software, but it also says the software update is current.
I contacted Samsung Customer care, they told me Factory Reset the phone. Which i don't want to do.
Is there any other way i Can force my phone to get the latest update?
Here are the screenshots of the phone.

You can use Frija and odin to manually update without root or wipe. You should find the threads located in discussion forum on the S10plus.
Did you ever do a manual software update or have software done at an official samsung authorized store or repair center?

Thank You Darkat. I used your method and was able to update it to the latest version.
I have one question, will it in future receive updates from Samsung or no?
Thanks

I assume that it would, my update came from my carrier, not Samsung. I did the initial jump in December to Android 10, i received Jan update, my Dec Build was the same as what my carrier released.

Search for the Frija Tool and you can download it yourself.

I thought the tool only provided full firmware and not OTA.

Yes, you are correct. I don't really see a difference as long as you use the HOME CSC when installing the Full Download version. I originally put the TMB version on my phone as it came out weeks in advance of TLS but did install the TLS version once it came out.

That might be a question for someone more in the know... I have been flashing my phones since the S2 and never had any issues so I am not sure what the effect would be if you are correct. When I flash my phones back to TLS using ODIN, I still get OTA updates. Maybe that is because I only buy factory unlocked phones, I don't buy from carriers.
