If you want full T-Mobile firmware with T-Mobile apps, logo and other features, then you need TMB. XAA is for an unlocked Galaxy S8(my S8 has it)

It depends on the model. If you have an unlocked US model, then WiFi Calling, VoLTE and Band 12 are already supported. My model of S8 is G950U1
I just realized that all three versions USA(XAA), USA(TMK), and USA(CSC) of the most recent July 28, 17 version for the S8

I think it might be a mix + carrier needs to support and device needs to be whitelisted in their system. Which model do you have or planning to buy?
XAA will contain most US carrier's CSC codes, so this what US unlocked model comes with.
TMB is for T-Mobile, which is the same as sold by T-Mobile.

You need to download the G950U1 firmware. It is the unbranded firmware. It has all the T-Mobile firmware but none of the bloat or boot logos.

If you put T-Mobile sim card, then go to phone app and access the settings and then check if you see WiFi Calling there. To find out what you CSC is, just download Phone INFO app(Samsung) from play store. The launch the app and swipe to the left to go to CSC section.

USA(XAA) is an unlocked version that works with US carriers.
Here is the most simple answer I can give all of you with this. Look at this thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s8/how-to/eng-boot-root-t3608353

Right, I had that question myself before, but you have to make sure which model you have and what is the CSC of your phone. Carrier versions should be: G950U, but US unlocked is: G950U1. There is a little difference in XAA and others, but if you really want unlocked that would have CSC codes of most US carriers, then use XAA image. It will allow you to put any US sim card in the phone and it should work.
I would suggest checking out the carrier switching threads here. There are several... One here and at least one other I think in the T-Mobile S8 guides forums section, that walk you through changing the firmware to the US unlocked while keeping carrier features.

You will need to download the USA(XAA) firmware. That will give you the unbloated version and you will have WiFi calling and volte with T-Mobile. Just type in sm-g930u1 and select the XAA firmware. I have full T-Mobile capabilities with that firmware which is the US Unlocked model.
Make sure to use the regular csc file and NOT the home csc file.

I would like to know if it's possible to flash the firmware for

The answer is NO you're asking firmware to replace/add hardware and that's not possible
I have a Verizon branded s7 edge and used Odin to load the 935U PI3 firmware. I am on T-Mo now and do have LTE band 12 working (validated with LTE Discovery). The research that I did found that the US variants have all the radios in them, but some carrier variants of firmware disable certain bands. By doing the 935U firmware, I also got rid of the notice on every reboot that I was using a non-Verizon SIM. So I now have all T-mo bands and no stupid SIM message.

I can vouch for same experience as SF-IT guy. I bought a G935V and flashed with G935U firmware via odin. Works on T-mobile, even wifi calling works. Currently on the latest PI3 version of G935U firmware. I would that you search the forum to see if you can flash the G935T firmware directly. The only downside of using G935U firmware is that the FM radio chip is not enabled in the firmware. I read that the all the carrier versions (September security patch and newer) of the G935 firmware have the FM radio chip enabled. I prefer the 935U version because it there is not carrier bloatware. Samsung bloatware is still there.

So what would the FM radio chip do? Just enable FM radios is all? Because if that's the downside then it's not a major setback as not too many people use the FM radio.

You definitely can. All US versions of the S7 & S7 Edge are the same hardware and can be flashed to any other US firmware. (including the U firmware that automatically works on all 4 carriers)

So what you're saying is that flashing the U version firmware will unlock by default all 930"X" and 935"X" phones? As in it just unlocks the mofo and debloats some while you're at it?
What's the catch? It seems too easy

Bloat is definitely gone on the U firmware, which is great. My phone runs faster and has more free space too.
I think some carrier features aren't supported on the U firmware. On T-mobile everything works (VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling), but I think AT&T might have some issues with those.
If the phone is SIM locked to a particular carrier, I'm not sure that automatically gets turned off or not when you switch to the U firmware. You might need to contact your carrier first to get an unlock code?

What if I got a temporary unlock from t-mobile unlock app and then flashed this firmware? Would it make it permanent? Seems quite possible, but I don't know if the temporary unlock actually unlocks the phone or just inserts a bypass that would disappear if flashed.

I unlocked my US TMo phone when stock, rooted, and am running Echoe - which has a glitch where WiFi calling sort of works (can receive calls but not make them). In the TMo forum, there are threads on U - your comments here are more specific to what I am interested.
Which U firmware are you on and are you rooted (is is updated to latest v4 bootloader version), and did you have to ODIN and full wipe with CSC or did you get by with CSC Home to preserve data?
Also, are you on U CP or did you flash TMo CP to get all the bands?.

I just purchased an unlocked S8+ from Samsung to use on AT&T in the U.S.
Do I need to do anything to the phone to be able to use all of the AT&Ts features/ VoLTE / get OTA updates timely?
Any help is appreciated!
I was not able to get any of the features on AT&T (including voice over lte).
The updates will not be coming from AT&T, they come straight from Samsung.
Basically you bought a phone that can work on AT&T, everything that got to do with the phone is not related to AT&T and not it's responsibility.

I'm not seeing the att portion in that thread..
and this flashing, does it wipe the phone and you have US att and the 950U1 and it then still worked for the USA att? (giving hd voice)? (need hd voice for s3 watch and numbersync to work apparently)
Early access for those of you who know what this is, and want to see what you can find inside. I compress extra small for storage and bandwidth savings, so you'll need 7zip or WinRAR etc to extract - the default Windows unzipper can't handle it.
Retail firmware should be coming soon, and I'll put up another thread similar to my existing ones, once I have access to it.

Yes, I know - I have already posted the full firmware in a separate thread.
So far, there appears to be G977B, G977T, and G977U models. So we'll have to wait and see what the differences are, and how the firmware will differ
Hi;
Do you guys think there'll be an unlocked variant on the State's side?
Would it be necessary? Or just SIM unlock the Verizon variant?

That doesn't necessarily mean that it's SIM locked. Pretty much all Verizon phones show a notification that says "This is not a Verizon SIM" - even if they're unlocked - if you insert a different carrier's SIM. If you can post a picture or screenshot of what you're seeing, that might help us clarify things
this is the pop up that occurs

Buy the $30 prepaid plan and leave the Verizon sim in for 24 hours after its activated and then pop in another sim. Should work.
The Verizon G977U comes unlocked. I am currently using T-Mobile. I don't mind bc I upgraded from note 8. but I just don't like the Verizon boot and all apps ect.., also the "non Verizon Simcard "message.
in my note 8 I put any simcard and it will reset to that simcard carrier with original carrier boot and apps. . I will like to have the same effects in this device.
if anyone is interested in testing with this device it is available.
I've seen G977N in YouTube and it doesn't have any carrier (maybe that's the unlocked version)

When you download any firmware it will have a home csc and a regular. I call that one the oyn.
I have a xfinity mobile s8. I swapped to cricket. Just like att firmware is nearly unheard of. Specially on bit 7. So I flashed the multi oyn csc and inserted my cricket sim. The phone reboots and will automatically personalize with all the cricket bloat ware all the cricket settings. Despite not having a cricket firmware released at the time. All the g950u s are the same hardware so you can safely flash any g950u firmware any carrier as long as in the build number 5th digit from far end matches. Like mines a 7. So 5th digit from far end in build must be a 7 or greater

pretty much
as long as its unlocked properly just pop what ever US carrier sim in and go it should repersonlize every time
Similar - I have Oreo but I can't get Pie.
I have an unlocked Galaxy S8 (SM-G950U) and I'm using it on an Indian carrier. I can't get OTA updates since I don't have an AT&T sim. I checked SamMobile for firmware updates but couldn't find one for SM-G950U. I want to update to Pie and get One UI features but I couldn't. What should I do?
I picked up a Tab A 8.0 (SM-T290) from Amazon a while ago for my wife to use. Because I'm an idiot, I didn't pay attention to what region code it was before I updated it. Does anyone else in the United States have an (as yet) unmodified T290 and can tell me the CSC?

Was it unlocked or carrier locked?

T290XAR3BTL3
For US at least
XAR - US
UYO - US
Thanks folks. Looks like T290XXU3CUF8 is the latest version, at least via Frija. There's a few different versions out there - OXM, OLM are XAR, OWO is UYO.
