Can't find XAA or ATT binary 7 firmware. Please help - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I have an AT&T Galaxy G950u with my most recent firmware being g950usqs7dtb1. I flashed a combination file (g950usqu7ask1) to turn on OEM unlock so I could install Havoc (I know now, I didn't have to do all that,) but now I can't get Odin to flash any stock ROMs back to install TWRP. The main error I'm receiving in Odin is FAIL! (Auth).
I've tried all kinds of ROMs but I can't find my original ROM anywhere except some shady site that definitely isn't legit.
When I boot into Download/Odin mode the numbers next to RP SWREV are B7(2.1.1.1.1) k6 S7
The error on my phone is SW Rev Check fail: (ab)) Fused 7 > Binary 1
I realized I probably need a carrier free (XAA) or ATT firmware that is binary 7. The problem is it's so recent I can't find any binary 7 firmwares out there. I've searched Updato and couldn't find xaa firmware for binary 7
Working with patched/modded Odin 3B v3.14.1
If anyone can help I would be so grateful.
Edit: I've tried Frija and it says ATT not supported, and it says it can't find anything for XAA. I've also searched Updato thoroughly and can't find a binary 7 file.
Edit 2: I found a ROM.

Well first off you can't flash any custom ROMs on this device it has a locked bootloader. Oem unlock doesn't matter. It's useless. Garbage. That's all for that. Flash any other carrier firmware and flash the oyn csc not home. It will repersonalize for att as the firmware are actually multi carrier. Att included.

Thanks for the input. I'm trying to flash twrp as a custom recovery but it gets stuck on "waiting for device". I've updated all drivers and have no error in device manager

Hey there @TheMadScientist not following you! haha. Just came across this thread as im researching what elliwigy and jrkruse have done.
To @uberdad search for anything s8 SM-G950 by jrkruse and elliwigy here and you should have a solution if your device is still on 7. Wont be twrp but will be safestrap twrp. You can install a custom rom then.

There are no custom roms. You can only have root on a 7.0 stock system img. Please research more before beginning to pass on information. As well this thread is now old no need to dig up old stuff. I helped out with some of the stuff on this device I know what it can and cannot do. Here wanted to install a los based rom. which is a big no. Add I said to begin with

Hi. Yes you are right I should have said Slightly Cooked Rom or Modified System Image. However preferred to put Custom Rom due to the fact the amount of new Customization Enthusiasts here on XDA to make it simpler. Also sure yes USER Root on XDA only obtained on 7.0 (at least public). Little off topic but our team has a *working* root along with our own SuperUser which means for repairs pretty much but if time was put into it could become possibly a semi to full user root. I have used Magisk SU older versions along with our root and had a semi working user root on past Galaxies.. Anyhow we don't really have time, especially myself, to work on an actual user root for every device i/we work on.
In the world of forums threads never really grow old they just go into a deep sleep eventually....Until someone wakes it up with the thirst for knowledge. It's how the internet works when it comes to these here BBS/Forums/Blogs etc. =]
What he asked could be something someone else might ask or attempt trying (he shouldnt have even got as far as he did unless on international variant which makes the Q odd.. haha eh? however i felt the need to straighten it up for anyone who might read and get confused. See what im saying..? along with the previous statement about data no become stale.
The more ya know the smarter you become. Information makes the world go around. .. IMO Always best to keep it flowing constantly added to.

[Q] need help with firmware 4.4.2

Hi everyone, I need advice on restoring functionality to my i9505. I Odin flashed the NA1 stock leak because I thought it was required for echoe v16 rom which seemed to work but I had no wifi so I flashed the wifi fix from the i9505 stock rom thread for the 4.4.2 stock rom but it broke the sound and I still have no wifi now I gave a buggy stock rom with no wifi no phone no messaging amongst other issues and my Knox flag is 0x1. I have tried Odin flashing all sorts of bootloader modems etc but they either don't fix anything or they have an error while trying to flash saying FAIL! (Auth) in Odin and device says SW REV. CHECK FAIL : fused : 4 , binary 3. If anyone can please help me with a solution I would be very greatfull. I have Googled and looked through a lot of threads but still haven't found an answer. I know I've made a stupid mistake, just need help now.
1. Stop of flash things without read before. Flashing old bootloaders is horrible idea. This will create a paperweight soon.
2. The unique solution u can do is:
- Flash I9505XXUFNB9 (NEE) Nordic Countries-> HERE or HERE by Odin :fingers-crossed:
thanks Joku1981, im downloading now, it was a stupid mistake, I have been flashing and modding phones for about 10 years since flashing monster packs on a Motorola E398, I don't generally make these mistakes, I did a lot of reading before attempting this and it looked like others were having success but I just misunderstood the process. I am in Australia, not sure if that matters, is there any specific process to flashing this? will there be any steps to follow flashing with oden?

Im flashing for about 10 years too. But the Samsung bootloaders are one new big **** for all the people that love modify their phones
I know, its really disappointing, they should understand the potential of letting developers have access to the devices software by now, there are developers out there making way better stuff than the OEMs are. its almost starting to go backwards, you never used to have so much access as you have with the open source Android OS but now companys are clamping down on more and more of the device specific code etc.

I flashed the file successfully, but I still have no sound and no wifi, things like phone and messaging are still buggy, any other sugestions?
yes my original bootloader was pre KNOX, I know, I have already ruined it now, no going back, almost enough to put me off modding all together, think im going to be up for a new phone by the look of it.
also my android version still says 4.4.2 and baseband still I9505XXUFNA1

Try to flash the combined package from here make sure to turn off your phone manually then wait atleast 10 sec and hold and press power Voldown in order to boot into downloadmode and open odin select CP/Phone ( .TAR) and flash

[Q] How to unlock bootloader of samsung galaxy S5.

Hi friends,
I am having samsung galaxy S5, i wan to install my compiled kernel in phone. my phone is rooted. I tried flashing boot.img updated with my compiled kernel, i was able to flash with ODIN but its not booting. After analyzing more i feel that some checksum checking is going at bootloder level. I tried many thing but i was not able to resolve this issue, Even after successful flashing with custom ROM also phone is not able to boot with my zImage. I have less doubt on kernel becasue i downloaded it from samsung website for my particular phone model and also compiled in same way mentioned in README file. In my phone "QUALCOM SECUREBOOT" is enabled and looks like its not allowing phone to boot with custom zImage.
Please tell me if there is any way to unlock bootloader of samsung galaxy S5.

[Q] Accidentally flashed verizon galaxy s5 to SM-G900A when i went to the OA8 build.

I have been fan and user of this website and its forums for several years now and up to this time have always been very diligent about searching for the answers to my questions in the forums. I have always been impressed that i never had a question that had not been answered until today.. I found nothing on XDA nor the rest of the internet so here is my quere.. I Accidentally flashed my verizon galaxy s5 to SM-G900A when i went to the OA8 build. The funny thing is that it appears to have worked for the most part. It started up pre-loaded with all the at&t bloatware installed and everything! My phone now says SAMSUNG SM-G900A under model name and number..It gives G900VVRU1BOA8 as the baseband version and KTU84P.G900AUCU2AOA1 as the build number..It appears that I am on Lollipop, however, it says I have android version 4.4.4. All of that considered, my question is regarding taking the OC4 update through Flashfire. It clearly states that using it on any other variant could result in a hardbrick..Do you think it will hard brick my phone?
First of all what is flash fire? Second I would not take that chance.... But have you thought about restoring your phone through odin?
On a developers standpoint you'll have to do more than that hardbricking your phone. Or should I say the only ways to hardbrick your s5 is
1. Destroy some of its hardware
2. Rewrite/delete some of it's irreplaceable data.
And flashing different ROMs doesn't result to 1 of the 2 and you'll either just get a softbrick, buggy ROM or a working device.
There are only 3 versions of s5 in general
1. The snapdragon version
2. Exynos version
3. Sprint version
And subversions which are
1. 16GB model
2. 32GB model
cross flashing the exynos version to snapdragon and the other way around would surely lead to soft brick as the processor drivers, GPU drivers etc differ.
cross flashing between 16gb and 32gb variant would probably end up softbrick or buggy device since partition tables are different.
cross flashing sprint version and regular version would probably get your the same working device and probably get a FM radio enabled.
cross flashing different model numbers would end up having a working device since there's literally no difference in the hardware. As long as you crossflash the bootloader, modem etc then it should be fine. But if you're cross flashing the system partition only then that's something different.

Almost forgot! THere's also the dual sim variants
I don't know if @Riyal gave you the info you need... but if not you better get odin and flash back to a Verizon rom
I didn't answer his question though... Just explaining in detail what happened/will happen when he/she cross flashed firmwares. I don't know what flashfire is so I couldn't answer his question. But as you said... flashing OC4 update thru odin is the surefire way to go.
@austocracy you read that get a copy of odin 3.09 and a copy of your s5 verizon firmware sammobile and have at it. The cure is within reach.... make sure you find some instructions first
Flash fire is basically mobile Odin and something else I can't remember I'll find the link for you I heard there's basically no need for Odin anymore because of it

Nope, all US snapdragon S7s are bootloader locked, no Lineage OS for it afaik, just look in the Snapdragon ROM development forum

You can install twrp using FlashFire after flashing the ENG_BOOT image. It works on 7.0, not sure about Oreo.

Ok so I am a mom of 3 including an infant and exhausted trying to figure this out. Trying not to clog the board opening a new thread. Long story short- I want to use an app that the developer has not been able to fix the errors with it when using Nougat on an S7. They suggested I upgrade to Oreo or Pie to fix this. I have an unlocked phone purchased outright on eBay and use Total Wireless. So there will be no one to assist me in this. I'm fairly tech savvy so I looked on YouTube about rooting and upgrading with a custom ROM.
I watched these videos:
sorry new cannot post
So easily I enabled developer options and OEM unlock and USB debugging. Downloaded Odin and Magisk and no verity and Gapps and lineage 16.0 (from Ivan Meler) and twrp with the twrp-3.3.1-0-heroqltechn.img.tar file which I determined is which one I needed.
Odin will not flash TWRP (one of the first steps). Fails every time. It does start blue and I did download and install the latest Samsung drivers package just to be sure.
Then I found it was probably because I had a locked bootloader. So, I used this tut and that did successfully download to my phone via Odin. But TWRP still will not "flash" to the phone.
Now, my fingerprint sensor says "The fingerprint sensor is not responding, please try again later". and my phone has a security notice stating "unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your phone and undo any unauthorized changes". So I am thinking that I did successfully unlock the bootloader? But TWRP still will not flash.
I considered using oneclickroot.com but it's $40, phone only worth about $100, and my husband is convinced they're going to steal info from my computer and phone in the process (even thought they're XDA endorsed). They also told me they can only give me Oreo not Pie.
I have downloaded and used SuperBackup. Also all my photos are auto backed up to Google and my contacts and calendar are too. So I don't think it's a huge deal if I lose everything. Even if I brick it I can get another. Reinstalling and relogging into all my apps will be a pain but whatever. I have a password app that can be logged into from the web.
Also my camera has been getting buggy and not opening and having to be restarted and in general the phone is just getting glitchy, so I was hoping an upgrade might help.
All the info I have:
Model G930V Ver 7.0
Baseband G930VVRS4BQC9
Build NRD0M.G930VVRS4BQC9
Knox 2.7.1
When I enter developer mode:
Odin Mode (High Speed)
Product name: SM-G930V
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
FAP lock: Off
Qualcomm secureboot: enable
AP SWREV B4(2, 1, 1, 1, 1) K1 S3
Secure Download: enable
My startup screen where it says Galaxy S7 powered by Android also now has an unlocked lock icon and says "custom" underneath.
Should I just figure out how to "undo" what I did and leave it alone? I'd really like to use the eMeals app and I'd really like to not buy a new phone.

Question regarding Rooting and Flashing GS8+ CRk1 Baseband

So im wanting to finally root and flash my phone after having it for almost a year, tired of all the VZW updates, prompts and just general bloat. So i did some digging and samfail only works up to V5 bootloaders.. my phone baseband is g955usqu5crk1 and i cant find any info on it and i dont want to try to do samfail and brick my phone due to it not being compatible. Does anyone have any info on this version or know what i can do from this point?.

I am not sure, but I think you can still root. Check the ROM section here in the Verizon Forum and look for JRKRuse thread. Or, look in the S8 Plus Forum under ROMs and look for the Partcyborg thread. I think with the S8 plus you can still root V5, but check with the experts before you start down any path.
The 5 near the end is bootloader version 5, the C means Oreo
Im on the same baseband version and have been trying samfail method all night, as well as different odin versions, i either get sha256 error on first step or else it hangs for way too long
I believe there's a patched Odin which helps with the errors you're describing. Google (patched Odin 3.13.1). It combines features from the Odin variant (Prince Comsey Odin) which eliminates such issues.
