Is it possible if so how to do it
Don't think so. I heard that the bootloader is different in PD8. Can't hurt to try though, right?
let me know if you can I would like to downgrade to PD7 so I can flash SM-G935U since it is also U2

You can try flashing the ENG BOOT then downgrading it to PD8
Yes its possible. Go to the firmware thread and download the pd8 firmware and extract it. Open Odin and put each file in it's respected place (file that starts with ap in the ap slot, CSC in the CSC slot etc) and then flash. After reboot you should be good to go. Warning though, make sure you have everything backed up somewhere else though because it will wipe your entire internal data.

Even on PD8 since it is V3 boot loader it will not allow since the error message states you are trying to downgrade the boot loader from V3 to V2. As anyone has tired to go to PD7?
the guy here is this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/help/yes-downgrade-apg1-to-apd8-t3450382/page2 said you can flash "downgrade APG1 to APD8!!!!!" he has not responded to any one yet. we want to see some proof. he also said

First, flash ENG boot in the AP. Then, go back immediately and flash the CSC CP and AP of the ROM of your choice. Simple, easy, DOWNGRADE COMPLETE!!!

if this is true I will try it. if it does work is there a v2 bootloader that we could flash to our phones that is unlocked and will work on t mobile even if its not for t mobile.

I don't believe we can flash it on anything with a v3 bootloader.
We're out of luck until the SM-G935U's bootloader is updated.
Apparently T-Mobile is the only one pushing out the new bootloader. ATT & Verizon can still flash SM-G935U firmware.

Yeah - and if TMO kept it's "promise", it would have been unlocked....
I don't understand what the big deal is? I was on pd8 and did Odin (NOT OTA) to pg1. I then did Odin from pg1 to pd8. Why is everyone trying to figure out of it works? What's different about the bootloader because I even flashed the pg1 bootloader and then went back to pd8.

I think this was while back. no need for this anymore.
Hi all, a while ago I updated my girlfriend's S7E to the first Nougat beta but didn't flash the (BTU?) so she wouldn't lose data.
Now the official Nougat is out is there any way to get the OTA or other way, without flashing that wipes her data?
Thanks!!
Is it an S7 or S7E? This is the forum for the S7E.
In either case, you just need to download the full Nougat odin files, and flash the CSC_HOME with it, and you won't lose data.
But personally I'd suggest backing up data and starting fresh.
It's S7E which is why I posted in the S7E forum ?
So I flash JUST the CSC_HOME file?
Incidentally is the final release Odin file out there yet?
Thanks!!

I'm really concerned since I flashed HOME_CSC instead of CSC and some tell me that I won't get OTA updates. What should I do?
thing to learn.
CSC keep the region data. Usually OTA update will read those. it always come in set. all 4 set bl,ap,cp,csc if the server read all those and confirm the match you will get the update. if you happen to use bl,ap,cp from other region and using your own home_csc or whatever... you wont received ota update.

What you should do is stop being so concerned with an OTA, you can just flash the firmware in odin. It takes like 10 minutes

Yeah but there may be some times where I won't have access to a computer and a laptop. Also downloading the firmware takes time.
I am sorry if this seems a bit rude but you didn't answer my question. I'm saying this because if I don't get OTA updates because I flashed HOME_CSC then I should wait for the next updated nougat firmware and flash it with CSC instead of HOME_CSC.
Yes I know but I am the type that gets easily concerned. Sorry for taking your time this way. I would appreciate some answers. Thank you.

Do I just flash the CSC only with odin or do I reflash the firmware all over again in order to get OTA updates? My active CSC code is BTU.
Just CSC should do it if all you changed was that

Might as well flash the whole firmware again as both options are going to factory reset the device anyway.

I got a security update. Over the air.
Does anyone have the AT&T variant ( or a link ) of the stock firmware for the G950U? Also.. could someone please explain how to go about flashing it over? I have a Verizon G950U.. my old Verizon S7 Edge I flashed to the AT&T firmware but it was much simpler... I used odin and just put in the 4 files ( AP, BL, CP, & CSC_ATT ) ... but after reading quite a few threads on here.... it appears to be a much more complicated process with the S8.

I have the same confusion. Did you figure out how to switch to ATT? i have an Verizon Unlock S8. Just downloaded the ATT firmware. Which instruction should i follow?
do i still need the factory binary and the canadian firmware?

please check, odin saids md5 invalid
Rename every file, remove the .md5 off the end.
That's ALWAYS step 1.
2. Use modded Odin
I've flashed it many times with no problem so if you're getting any error it's user error.
Ok, so I flashed the June att firmware sucesfully but when I booted it up, the boot screen still show custom. Anyway to fix this to not show anything like stock att?
nevermind, once rebooted again, it disappeared

Can you pretty please link the latest Revision 2 AT&T G950U Firmware? I cannot seem to find the Revision 2 Dec 20th Updated Release Build. I am pretty sure the build number is G950USQU2BQK5 but I have access to all the other variants on this update just cannot find the damn ATT version. I keep getting errored out writing the G950U1 XAA firmware, the G950U on all other carriers I get errors on it as well. I tried using Odin Comsy, Odin 3.12.7, 3.12.3 patched 256 version, 3.12.7, and even using the Z3X Samsung Tool Pro to reflash the firmware. I got one to finally take using all 5 files on G950U TMB but now the baseband is unknown and I cannot see the IMEI either. Anyone have any suggestions, I would highly appreciate that....
Flash QK5. It's for all carriers and installs proper carrier files and settings depending on the SIM you have installed. Use Prince Comsy Odin.

Not searching very hard then. Update.com and search firmwares for G950U1. You'll see the latest XAA listed.

Firmware downloaded from sammobile (G950U1UEU1AQE3_G950U1OYM1AQE3_XAA)

Should I load all the files to Odin? or just flashing the AP file would be OK? Thank you very much in advance!

From what it looks they are having issues between the to bootloader's. Your answer may come in the 892 partcyborg root thread.
Hello guys, I have just now heard that At&T is rolling out the Android Pie update to the S8 Active. Unfortunately, I do not have a AT&T SIM card on my device currently. This causes my phone to not get ANY updates. The only update I last got was when I sent my phone to a Samsung Technician after I bricked my phone from failed root attempts. I am currently in Android 8.0.0. Is there any way to flash any Pie firmware to my phone even though it is Bootloader v3? Any help is GREATLY appreciated as I am getting so tired of Oreo. I tried using Smart Switch but it says my phone is in the latest firmware update which is a lie, my security patch level is July 2018...
Edit: I have recently unlocked my phone from AT&T in hopes of getting an update, but I didn't know the firmware would stay. And no, I do not have ANY access to AT&T SIM cards or stores.
Edit 2: Solved! I just used a firmware download I got from this forum because sammobile.com did not have it here it is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bw-cYNY1KoEH4Pa-a9dJRQJW09r_uw93/view Just flash this firmware to your phone from Odin! This does not risk breaking or voiding your warranty if you still have one! I am enjoying Pie right now! Give thanks to the who supplied me with the firmware link and youdoofus who actually responded to me. I just wanted to be assured that the firmware that is Pie will be good for my device. This is for people who do not have ATT SIM on their phone or cannot receive update. Model number must be from ATT and SM-G892A!

the problem youre going to run into is the availability of firmwares for your phone. sammobile.com/firmwares was a bust, looking elsewhere for ya. But if you have a computer, usb type-c cable Odin and the correct firmware version and are able to get to download mode, then you should be in good shape.
So I have a firmware at hand with my phone model that is pie, if I update it through Odin, will it void my warranty? Or will there be any chance it will brick my phone because I have done this many times. If it wasn't for ATT bootloader v3 I would've not been asking all these questions. I have already used sammobile.

it will not void your warranty. isnt your warranty expired on an S8 anyways? only rooting/unlocking bootloader will void the warranty.

the firmware version in your link is the one in this article which is pie, so yes. As far as Odin goes, i usually default to the newest one if im out downloading one anyways. 3.13.1 is the latest version. https://odindownload.com/SamsungOdin/#.XWFVzOhKjb0

Some tips before flashing? Did you flash every file on the .zip archive? (BL_ , AP_ , CSC and so?)

Since its just an update, you are able to keep your data if you put HOME_CSC in the bottom box. So, yes use every file if you want to keep your data. If not, put CSC where its supposed to be and thats it. I don't have access to my computer but thats what I did. You don't need factory reset. Just go to any "How to Install Any Firmware Update through Odin" Video on YouTube and you should see a good tutorial. It is just an update. I hope I fixed you problem! Don't be nervous about updating, only be nervous when you flash a ROM on it!

nothing other than having the correct version of Odin for your phone and ADB drivers installed along with the correct firmware files. And yes the Home_CSC is to not factory reset, and the regular CSC is to factory reset it
PIT Error
I tried flashing the files you provided, but it keeps failing on "Get PIT for Mapping". I tried 4 times and every one failed on the same part. I am on the exact same baseband version you were on, the provider is AT&T and the phone is unlocked. I don't get what the problem is...

you need to go into the CSC file and extract the PIT. once extracted, go into the other options in Odin and put the pit in its slot, then reflash with the CSC you got the PIT from in its proper place along with the others.

Alright, how do I go about extracting the PIT file from the CSC file?

The CSC is just a compressed file, so WinRAR will do it if 7zip doesnt

I did that but it didn't change anything. Do I need to remove the pit file from the CSC file?
