So I purchased my S8 from At&t and later got it unlocked by paying the whole amount off. My phone is still stuck in August update and the model number is listed as SM-G950U. I have been told to flash the official firmware with Odin to get the latest update. Which one should I flash? I also don't understand the difference between SM-G950U and SM-G950U1. I only see AT&T firmware on SM-G950U1, should I use that one?
Also, for flashing firmware update on Odin. Do I have to flash all the firmware before the latest one or do I just flash the latest one?

Hi there,
I have rooted my phone and installed the US firmware in august. What is the latest Canadian firmware that works with videotron? I would like to go back to the latest canadian firmware so I might be able to get OTA....or is there a way to have OTA using a US firmware in Canada? Thank you very much.
I could not say. I'm also a Canadian with the US firmware (provider is Telus) but had not got to install the latest firmware update yet.
Hi,
I bought my S7 edge form Portugal, the phone is factory unlocked.
Now I'm back in my country and I thought I should download from sammobile the official firmware of my carrier provider or the global version.
I'm not sure if I'll still receive OTA updates if I flash the firmware with ODIN, and if that's the case, please tell me if there's any other methods to flash the baseband without causing updates issues in the future.
I want to update the fw because Volte doesn't work.
Another question, I don't have a PC, so I was wandering if I can install Odin on Mac or in VmWare?

Hi,
i have purchased the Samsung galaxy S8 SM-G950FD from Dubai, since i will be using the phone in India i have flashed the phone with official stock firmware . now my question is will i received the OTA updates as usual or i have to keep on updating the phones manually. also when i use the smart switch my phones shows firmware updated. but recently on the July 16th there was new firnware which i have not received. Could anyone guide what should i do as i am concerned. also how can i do the master reset . (the same csc and firmware as it came from out of the box )
so where exactly did you get this stock firmware. my carier's firmware update is really slow, i dont want it
Firmware downloaded from Sam mobile
I had downloaded from Sam mobile . But mine is international unlocked version . Please check your firmware and model before flashing . My model is SM-G950FD
The S8 G950U1 is exact same hardware as S8 active G892U. Yet recent ATT firmware ending in CRF5 doesn't flash in modded Odin. I can't understand why. I can only get an older ATT Oreo FW to flash.
Hi everyone,
my wife had an S8 + EXYNOS which had its motherboard dead, it was on android 9.0. A phone repair center replaced the motherboard but they had only SNAPDRAGON and everything works fine.
The thing is, that earlier the model number was SM-G955F and now it is SM-G955U and it says now Verizon but it is on android 7.0 and says that there is no update. I want to download the latest 9.0 firmware but I am now confused.
If I search on sammobile for G955U I get only branded firmwares. I see that the unbranded are 955U1.
Now my question is, because I never flashed US models only Europe, should I just flash the latest Verzion FW or can I flash the latest U1?
This is the latest Verizon, I do not want to soft-brick now the phone....

If I can use the unlocked firmware, could you please tell me which exactly it is so I do not make a mistake?
EDIT: Followed this easy flash tutorial with modded ODIN and flashed directly U1 unbranded XAA FW which works like a charm
