USA and GFI seem to be the same firmware (same md5 checksum for the ones I've tried) but what's the difference between the one from Amazon and GFI? I assumed the one from Amazon was just an unlocked version of the phone, not that it came from Amazon and with customizations and stuff but maybe it does? Would like to know.

No difference right now, but best to stick with the NAO version. No difference there, either, but at least it promises it's the North American Open Market variant.
On V30 all the way through Nougat and Oreo there were no differences between the various US998 variant KDZ, but now with Pie there is a difference with US998 Pie US998 KDZ. So it can happen.
NAO firmware is the safest.

But the Amazon firmware, unlike GFI and USA, is a couple hundred MB bigger in size so what accounts for that difference?

I hope this means an Open EU is coming too. It's still on January patch lol.
I just installed the new firmware Vodafone.
Software version 20g
security patch 01/07/2016
It wants to give us a kdz download link. And tell us if it is with some bloatware, if there is a vodafone logo etc.
More updates
Here is the KDZ

Unfortunately, i don't know hot to get kdz files. I just copied from another forum.
Maybe there is Dev network (like MSDN), but I am not sure.
And this KDZ also for Hungary, Germany, etc. phones Vodafone (like V20D).
And from which one if I can ask? Maybe PM.

I want to switch back from my S7 to the V20. I had the V20 before, rooted.
Question is, is the t mobile v20 still root-able Today? If I went and used my jump on demand. ??? (I keep reading conflicting reports, about being patched recently).
Your knowledge and opinions, will sure help out. Thanks.

Yes. The latest firmware is still rootable as it's the one I rooted on myself. Just can't use the easy method you have to do the steps manually.

U might wanna double check with someone else about security updates though. I'm pretty sure there hasn't been any that prevent the root but I've been on WETA rom for a few months now and so I wouldn't have gotten any like a stock V20 would have.

That's the guide I used to root 10J which is the latest firmware. Maybe post in their and see if they know about any security updates that would prevent root

Thanks. I did see that, and the other thread, but I thought it was a different region's FW.
Is /system the same across regions and just /oem different? What makes a retus phone different from a retin/reteu one; where does that setting live?
I recovered my RETUS XT1687 with the rom that was labeled -35 (as I remember mine came with -35, it's an Amazon non subsidized model)
there are definitely differences between RETIN/RETEU and RETUS mainly the replacement of NFC with a compass but I have seen no issues with the rom I used(ie: TMUS wifi calling works, VoLTE works, camera works, etc)...I wonder if there's scripts that install the proper blobs?

Did you use POTTER_NPN25.137-35 or POTTER_AMZ_NPN25.137-35 ?? (AMZ is presumably the Amazon in-store app version?)

Don't ever pay for firmwares
It seems if att is realising it as we speak.
Your device should see the update soon... I have checked several sites and yesterday and today seems to be pushing out to their customers. I would keep checking your OTA in system updates

Pay for sites are not allowed on xda. I would never pay for a firmware. Specially for a samsung
Then dont.
This site is used all the time and im not telling you to pay for it. Nor am i selling it to you personally. Someone will buy it then repack and upload it somewhere and share it for free.
But until someone does thats your solution. A question was asked and i answered it.
And maybe OP asked for odin files for a reason. Such as not being US based.

I would if it where me flash another carriers pie and then flash you carriers CSC file. The update should be out to flash with odin more than likely in the next few days. Since they are releasing it now. I would just wait until its out on the free firmware sites and get it from there

Kinda. Yea there is a guide to change carriers. But most s8s auto select csc based on the sim inserted i flash the multi rom and mine auto selects then but the csc file is what determines carrier the actual firmware is the same for all the snapdragon US devices..
But yea you got the jist of it down.

Nope, not working. Odin shows FAIL..!!
Suggest me if I have any other way to update
You could buy the fw... i had to pay for the s8 actives last fw, then i shared it with a mega link, until someone buys it and shares it the only option is to buy it yourself. As you seem to be aware att is a bastard when it comes to releasing full odin fw.

Idk where they come from, they are leaked somehow, theres anorher persian website that gdts them from time to time. Im not saying you need to buy them, nor am i affialated with or receive any compensation from that site.
Im simply saying where to get the files right now if you want them.
Recently decided I wanted to run a custom rom. Was on stock T-Mo OOS before, then used the patched MSM tool to flash international OOS. Got through setup, enabled dev options, and BL unlock was grayed out. Tried to flash again and the same thing happened, still grayed out. Any ideas on what happened or what I missed?

I believe someone mentioned doing the removing of the modemst 1 and 2
or what ever that thing was to SIM unlock, takes care of it so that you can do it with later versions.
But i have not tried that myself, i saw a couple people saying it worked though.
The actual problem is not the version of the software. I was able to unlock my T-Mo on the latest 9.0.16.
The problem lies in that you need to flash it with the hacked MSM tool. You can copy the exe from 9.0.11 to the 9.016 folder and flash and it will work fine.
