My AT&T S20 Ultra has been stuck on the G988USQU1ATBN firmware update. I haven't received any of the new OTA updates and was looking into manually flashing the latest update via Odin. If I were to flash the latest unlocked SM-G988U1 G988U1UES1ATFB update, that I downloaded from SamFirm, to my current AT&T SM-G988U, I would need to use the G988U's USERDATA in Odin to retain AT&T's carrier features like Wifi Calling and VOLTE right? I haven't had any luck finding the latest AT&T G988U update's USERDATA, only the ones from the "G988U and G988U1 Firmware Links and Flashing Discussion Here" topic's U firmware link.
Is it safe to use the ATT Feb 20, 2020 G988USQU1ATAW USERDATA from the U firmware link while I'm flashing the unlocked G988U1UES1ATFB update to my current SM-G988U in Odin? Its my first time flashing a firmware update to a Galaxy phone in Odin.

Ok for those that took the XAA update ending in K2 and tried everything to load another firmware and failed here is help. The T-Mobile firmware is currently on BQK5 which is Bootloader v2 so you can download and apply it to your device using the latest official version of ODIN. WAIT!!! Don't get your panties in a bunch, READ!! Keep your sim card in your device so that you can get your carrier firmware and logos. This works on both AT&T and T-Mobile devices. The Devices are the same so don't let the TMB fool you. It works. You can use this if you want your carrier software back and play around with the Oreo Betas. I am not trying to step on nobody toes here but I will try to keep yall updated on the betas also.
Here are the links.

Is there a v2 U1 unlocked firmware than can be flashed to Oreo ? Don't want carrier branding but want it to work with Sprint
So I have what was originally a VZW 955U, flashed soon after I got it, to the unlocked 955U1 firmware using Prince's Odin and have been happy so far. Now with all the Oreo updates released except for the unlocked one, I'm wondering if I can just use prince's odin again to load the latest TMB Oreo firmware or need to do the whole engboot thing first? My current software is latest Nougat build for 955U1 and shows up as TMB//VZW.
Any thoughts?
No one? I remember reading on some of the earlier threads that if you flashed U1 first, you could then flash to the other carriers versions without the other steps but want to confirm. Don't want to deal with bootloops or softbricks.
I think you need the eng file ..but there is not oreo eng file..
Tried a lot of things, flashing tmobile oreo directly using modified and unmodified odin, trying to flash the latest Nougat builds from Tmobile using Prince Odin (the Dec one almost took and showed up as TMB/TMB/VZW but ultimately would not get updates) and then flashing back to the unlocked version but nothing worked, will likely have to do a full erase and reload the unlocked version. The eng boot file no longer works far as I can tell. Will just have to wait for the unlocked version to get updated. Sucks as this is a corporate phone and my firm has been pushing to get Oreo on all devices.
If someone has a recent guide on carrier switching the S8 , would appreciate it. Most guides here are from May of 2017 and I'm betting those files are too old to be compatible if you're on the latest Dec build for 950U1/955U1. At least doing a full reset and reflash of the 955U1 brought Wifi Calling which wasn't quite working right since I had just flashed over the 955U1 software over the stock verizon last year.
I think I'll just wait a few more weeks for the 955U1 Oreo to drop. Has to happen eventually right? Lol.
Since all of the firmware versions now include all the settings for each carrier, can I just download any CRC5 firmware from updato for SM-G950U and flash it using the newer odin? Or is carrier switching still required? Basically I am planning to take my at&t S8 that is on the unlocked Oreo beta and go to the official CRC5 release, but on at&t (which currently doesn't have a full set of firmware to flash available).
DL any of them. You dl one, you have them all. They will all flash the same and install carrier files/bloat depending on the installed sim card

Pardon my ignorance. I'm about to buy a AT&T Note 8 today, but AT&T isn't my carrier (as I'm in Jamaica).
Is this the latest firmware for this device? My OCD requires me to have the latest OTA available so I don't have to keep wiping my device each time I sideload it.

Is CRE1 an official build? Will I be able to receive future OTAs on that version?

Yes, you can still flash the unlocked firmware on AT&T note 8 after the Oreo update. Only the U1 unlocked firmware can be flashed and as long it's still on the same bootloader version. Also, you'll need a different version of Odin to flash for the Oreo update.
Use this version of Odin.

Which version can I download for SM-N950U which is from the United Arab Emirates
I just downloaded the files, I have no idea what I'm doing or how to open them and install them? Can anyone please help me? The Samsung files app says it cannot open the downloaded files And I'm not saying instructions anywhere
Literally no matter what I do. I cannot flash ANYTHING in Odin to either revert back to 7.0 or stock 8.0. Its not flashing any version of 7 or 8 and its not flashing any U firmware or AT&T firmware.
What am I doing wrong. I flashed 8.0 with the intent to be able to revert back to stock 7.0 once official Oreo rolled out and I literally cant do anything in Odin. I've tried odin 3.13 and 3.12 prince version. HALP
update: flashed G930UUEU4BRD1 using odin 3.12 successfully. phew
As far as I know, the newest Oreo version of AT&T is CRE4, not BRD6 as you say

You may be speaking about where I said CRD6, that is a version of Oreo that doesn't have much difference than the latest version of Oreo CRE4. Most of them after release have been minor changes. I was not flashing back to BRA1 to constantly flash the newest update of Oreo. I have an unlocked s7 so I can flash any carrier but eventually when the official oreo firmware comes out for either tmobile or the unlocked 930 varient i will be switching back to OTA updates

The issue was probably that I needed to put home file in csc and exclude the csc file and then factory reset and clear caches. I probably ended up factory reset before Odin and didn't activate USB debug or the files I was using were corrupt. Since then I've just flashed TMobile Oreo that came out a few days ago and I'm gonna just use official ota for future updates
