Samsung Galaxy S8 Firmware - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hello, I just bought my S8 online and after going for a factory reset, I got this error "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed". I just found out that this phone was rooted and one way to fix is to download this specific firmware and install it via ODIN. Is there anyone here who can mirror this firmware (SM-G950FD Philippines XTC) for me? I tried to look for other ways to download it free and fast but sammobile and updato take lots of time to download. :/
Help pls. Thanks!

Failed at modem.bin when flashing 6.0.1 stock firmware

Howdy! Please help me newbie with this problem. Mine is SM-G928F, its region is DBT, which is Germany. My current firmware is 5.1.1. As I haven't received Marshmallow update OTA, as well as when I checked for update in Smart Switch, I decided to use SamFirm and download the suitable 6.0.1 firmware for my Region. And then I used Odin to flash it, with Kies uninstalled, Samsung drivers up-to-date and so on according to the instruction I've read. Now what I have is a fancy brick with the Samsung brand on it ( I can still get into download mode. What should I do now?

Hey, you may try another firmware or follow the procedure(in the video) to avoid that failure. Exclude modem.bin from firmware and find the another one which fits F variant then flash it after firmware..

Hi.In that page there is no update...The last update from 31.01.2017,that sammobile and samsung-updates says there is one,in updato.com no such thing!.
Try flashing another country or just wait (it might take a while ) untill appears. Or you can try using SamFirm_v0.3.6 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647) to check on samsung servers for firmware .

Samsung Galaxy S8 G950W (PIE Update)

I have Samsung Galaxy S8 G950W having Android 7.0 with Samsung Experience 8.1 and Baseband Version G950WVLS2ARA1. I intend to update it to 9.0. Where can I find its official update through Odin installation? I'm not in the region to find OTA.
Thanks
Use updato.com. You can use SamMobile but it takes years without a premium account. HOWEVER YOU CAN'T FLASH THE NEWEST SOFTWARE IF THE PHONE IS WAY BEHIND..... EITHER FLASH THE FIRMWARE BUT THAT ALLOWS OTA UPDATES OR FLASH EVERY FIRMWARE ONE BY ONE. I hope this helped:laugh:
I have found G950WVLU5CSD5_G950WOYA5CSD5_VMC and downloaded. But am not yet sure about the right firmware. Is there any way to get it confirmed?

As long u are searching for correct model of your phone u are good to go
U can use sammobile,updato.com, samfrew.com to download firmware for your model ( there is even samfirm pc app to download firmware at full speed)
Also u can flash pie or any other release without needing to install one by one firmware as suggested above.
Good to go. Trying...

SamFirm does not load any info for an ATT S8+ / Does not show "USA" Region option. What do I do?

I hate ATT. I hope their stupid company dies soon.
Anyway, I'm trying to flash my ATT S8+ that is running Android 7.0 with Android Pie. I first attempted to use Frija and it said that the ATT "CSC code not supported". I then tried SamFirm and when I input the phone model SM-G955U, it doesn't show the "United States" Region option.
Ideally, I would like to flash my phone with an unbranded Android Pie. What do I do?
UPDATE: I am able to find many different firmware files on SamFrew. However, I still need to know if I can flash an unbranded XAA file from there?
Will it work? And do I need a modded version of Odin to flash? I came across some guy's youtube tutorial that says only to use a modded Odin to flash unbranded firmware on an ATT Samsung phone, but unfortunately his video is from three years ago and so I'm not sure if the modded Odin he's linked to will be compatible and be able to flash the much recent released firmware updates.
UPDATE: Issue resolved. I went ahead and flashed it and it worked.
