Flashed a different carrier's firmware...now I can't flash anymore - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I have a TracFone S8+. I recently flashed it with the Verizon combination and stock firmware. Now, whenever I'm trying to flash it to anything, I either
get stuck at SetupConnection for a while before getting "All threads completed success 0 / failed 1", or
get the Complete(Write) error
I tried the method where I click the start button before immediately entering download mode. That did nothing. I also tried flashing it again with both Verizon and Tracfone files. Neither succeeded. I used different versions of Odin, as well as the Prince and the new patched editions. My phone is working fine, but I'm worried that problems may arise by not having the original carrier's firmware, esp. when I still have TracFone as my carrier.

Nothing bad should happen service wise. A lot of tracphone uses Verizon towers. As long as you download the TracFone apps.
Ok first off.
The combination is a multi carrier firmware. It is test firmware from Samsung not the carrier. So when you flashed that and then switched to Verizon that set Verizon as the CSC.
What you are looking for is a TracFone CSC from your current firmware version 5th digit back from far end is a 1 through 5. That determines the revision. This could cause a Odin failure. If it's lower than current.
So now that's some what explained.
If you can find that revision of firmware's CSC file you can flash that in Odin with your tracfones sim installed and it should revert back to TracFone if you think it's nessicary. If your on the newer 8.0 firmwares you need that modded Odin 3.12b I think. Those firmware are in a different file type. Not .tar files. So that will cause a fail too.
I'm always around if all those check out we can go from there:good:
There is also a dialer code to select csc but I think hidden menus are disabled on Verizon.
Lss all the firmwares are identical for all the us models. They all have identical hardware.
Pretty much what determines anything is the csc file

Thank you for your help! It's invaluable.
Okay, so I found Verizon's firmware to be G955UOYN2CRB9. However, Tracfone's is G955USQU5CRL2. If the number before the C is indeed the bootloader version, then that means I'm trying to upgrade from 2 to 5. Is that possible?

Yes. You just can't go back to the revision 2 firmware after. You can upgrade just not downgrade

Okay, now I'm seriously boggled. When I go to Software Update section in settings, it tells me that the current version is indeed G955USQU5CRL2/G955UOYN5CRL2/G955USQU5CRL2. Even though the last successful flash was Verizon. Do you know what could've happened here!? And why I still get an error when I flash the phone with TracFone firmware?

I have a Verizon phone with Verizon firmware and the 5th digit from the right is a 5. It appears you have Verizon firmware flashed on your phone

Interesting. When I visited SamMobile's page for G955U, I found that PDA associated with TracFone as well.

Unflashable S7Edge?

I have an S7 Edge from Verizon that I had previously flashed U on. I was going to try flashing the AT&T FW so I could flash the unreleased final Nougat.
I found the AT&T stock FW (G935AUCS4APK1) but Odin would not flash it. It stalls at
<ID:0/006> File analysis..
<ID:0/006> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/006> Initialzation..
and the phone displays "Odin protocol version error!". So I canceled the flash and rebooted, and got a screen that said "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software".
Now, I can't flash anything. Every FW I try to flash with Odin results in the "Odin protocol version error!". Smart Switch does not recognize the phone either.
A little help please?
Maybe try a diff USB port/cable? Did you have more than one of each file like ap others?

I had two CSC files. Hone_csc and CSC.
I had several different FW that I tried, the AT&T one I mentioned, PI3 Vzw and pl4 U. None will flash. I noticed that download mode shows the model number as g935a now. I tracked down a newer version of Odin that's supposed to work with the att model, but I haven't had a a chance to try it yet.
Edit: The 3.12 version of Odin worked and I got the AT&T APK1 to flash. Time to go flash Nougat!

I don't have a SIM card in it, though. Just using it to play around with the OS. SO far, it reminds me of my Note 7. I put the phone away in a drawer, just too depressing to use. I wish I never got rid of my Note 7.

Problem with my G935A

Hi, I got a S7 Edge SM-G935A from AT&T at the end of December.
That same night I tried to root my phone(i got a bootloop), and I didn't know the bootloader was locked.
So I re-flashed a SM-G935U rom, but I would like to go back to the basic one in order to get a new start(SM-G935A), without root and nothing.
Knowing that I have a problem connecting to the wifi, maybe because of the rom that doesn't match.
And also i dont have samsung updates, i'd like to have the latest one im currently on 7.0.
If someone could help me to get my phone with original firmware, I'd be grateful.
Ok, first off, you can run any US/Qualcomm variant software on your device. Unless you just have a hankering for AT&T firmware, the U firmware will work just fine. Either way, find a full copy of either A or U firmware and ODIN it down, and you will essentially factory reset your device in the process.
There are links to both in this forum. I personally prefer U because it is faster and less bogged down with carrier crap, but if you are an AT&T customer, there are decent enough reasons to stick with A.
NOTE: you may need to use Prince Comsy's ODIN tool if you get a mismatch error. Unfortunately, there is no universal ODIN tool, but as a general rule, if you are CHANGING variants you need Prince's. If you are writing over the same version, you need the official.

Im not living in the USA and AT&T doesnt exist where i live, but sometime i have a issue with my wifi "internet may not be available" is because of the rom?

Then this is easy. Go download the U firmware and use Prince's ODIN to convert it to a G935U. If you aren't on an AT&T network there is zero reason to keep your device on A firmware, starting with the fact that you will never get updates. (AT&T firmware will only update if you have an AT&T SIM installed.)

Only add-on is to perform this from a Windows 7 pc and not 10. Prince kept crashing on 10 and worked fine on 7.

S7 Different PDA and Phone models.

I have an s7 edge that my buddy gave me, saying it stopped working after he tried to downgrade the OS or something, now the phone only boots to Factory Binary. On the back of the phone, it says it is a G935v, however, in the factory binary, it lists the model as G935a. So which firmware do I use to fix it? And if you could, how would I go about getting the phone to boot normally instead of in factory binary?
When booting into factory binary, the PDA is FA60_G945AUCU5ARA2, the model is SAMSUNG-SM-G935A [SS], and the Phone is G935VVRU4BQH4. To my knowledge these are listing as 2 different models. Also I tried to flash the official firmware from Sammobile, and I got errors like [aboot] Fused 5 > Binary 4, etc, every time.
I would really like to get this phone working. Thanks in advance!
Bump
If I remember correctly you can flash AT&T firmware on a Verizon. Not so sure about vice-versa. As for the errors in Download Mode, make sure you're not downgrading (e.g from 7.0 to 6.0)
And I think your phone was sold by Verizon and its firmware was changed to AT&T
Also, I found this
That is not good news.
Each time VZ updates their software for these phones, they update a value in a fuse.
That started as 1 with MDK, went to 2 with ME7, 3 with MI1, and 4 with MJ7. At least that's what I think the revisions did to the qfuse.
So it's seeing that you're trying to flash a binary with revision 3 (BINARY:3) but it remembers a flash with revision 5.
Now, there's nothing out there that I know of for the i545 that's rev 5 - the next update after MJ7 will be rev 5. So, your phone is probably not going to be recoverable until VZ and Samsung release another software update for the I545. Something corrupted the fuse storing the update level.
You can verify this by flashing MJ7 - it'll probably say FUSED:5, BINARY: 4.
Sorry for the bad news.

That was for a SGS4, so I guess the same applies today.
Im assuming the A following the 935 stands for AT&T, and the V would stand for Verizon. So according to what you quoted, I'm trying to "downgrade", and the OS wont allow it? Or am I misunderstanding?
Also for what it's worth, in recovery mode it says 6.0.1 is the current firmware, but again it is listing itself as 935A, and I can't get it to boot properly, it only goes to a "factory binary".
Yes. That's about it. Try flashing a Nougat or Oreo firmware.
Or
Try flashing a combination file and then an ordinary firmware

im having almost the same issue except it is saying Fused 8 binary 4. it is also a Verizon phone for sure. Everytime I look to find the exact firmware for nougat because I want to downgrade to get away from this stupid security update it keeps failing. any ideas?

Links for AT&T USERDATAs

I know these are much tougher to find - can't be obtained from SamFirm or SamMobile. So I'll be uploading one for each bootloader version. Firmware is universal on U models so you can use the other 4 files from any other matching collection. Can probably even mix and match builds, if you can't find files for the exact same build. Can't mix and match bootloaders though, so the other 4 files have to at least be from the same bootloader.
USERDATAs for any other CSCs can be gotten from SamFirm - for the latest version. If you need an old USERDATA for a CSC that's not commonly found on SamMobile (ACG, LRA, TFN, etc), let me know and I can probably get it.

I'm begging someone to help me. I flashed my AT&T S8+ to the G955U1 unlocked firmware, then got accepted into the beta and installed it via OTA update. I now want to go back to a AT&T rom so I can have stuff like Wi-fi calling and VOLTE back. I've tried so many different roms with ATT userdata and they all fail with ODIN. I'm guessing its something to do with bootloader version. Is there any way I can get back to a AT&T ROM from the G955U1 Pie beta firmware.

I finally managed to get Odin to flash a ROM. All of them I tried were bootloader 5. But now the problem is I cant get OTA updates. My phone is back to being a AT&T one with the AT&T boot screen and wi-fi calling etc etc. But everytime I check for updates it says its up to date even though I have CRL1 and the latest AT&T firmware is U5CSA4. I would update form SD card but that wipes the phone every time. I had to do that 4 or 5 times just to get to CRL1 because it kept saying my phone is up to date.

1. AT&T phones don't OTA if you're using a carrier other than AT&T - even their own MVNOs
2. If you are using AT&T, OTA rollouts are staged. It just came out less than a week ago, so your phone might not have been green-lit yet
3. Both 1 and 2 are really irrelevant anyways, because you can just Odin flash any update you want. Using HOME CSC will ensure data isn't wiped

I am using AT&T. I know rollouts are staged but I've never had it tell me my phone is up to date when it is 7 versions behind which it was because I had to start at CRF5 since that is the newest AT&T Userdata file I could find. I checked after doing the update from SD card method each time, making sure to put the date on my phone forward since AT&T only lets you manually check once a day. No matter what it said I was up to date despite being several versions behind.
I'm gonna try using Odin to flash one more time because not being able to do OTA update is a HUGE PIA. Dose it matter that the user data is called "ATT_G955USQU5CRF5" despite the firmware being USQS because I couldn't find a USQUCRF5 and besides AT&T's update history shows USQSCRF5 anyways. What I did was downloaded a verizon G955USQS5CRF5 ODIN file (because for some reason AT&T odin files are really hard to find) and replaced the Verizon user data with the AT&T one.
Also if I flash say CSA4 verizon with the verizon user data the put my AT&T sim card in it dose it not download all the the carrier bloatware and what not? dose that basically turn it back into a AT&T phone? or could I take that CSA4 and flash it with the CRF5 AT&T user data?

1. I have no idea what the difference is between SQS and SQU. Even on the same network, it seems to be completely random as to which one gets assigned to each new update. I don't think it matters
2. Don't flash userdata if you're going to Odin flash a different carrier's version. Just do the normal 4 files
Sorry for the late reply. But just wanted to say that this method of getting from a G955U1 (US Unlocked) firmware back to AT&T branded firmware did end up working. I did eventually start getting OTA updates after using the method I mentioned (flashing Verizon USQS5CRF5 ROM files with AT&T G955USQS5CRF5 USERDATA file using ODIN Odin3 v3.13.1 3B Patched). Then updating to the then latest version using the update.zip method using files from the "Firmware Science" site (I think that's the name). Then about two days after AT&T released a new update I actually got it OTA. However after it installed successfully my chrome app became broken. Opening it and hitting the ... button in the top right would open the menu but all the options just said "chrome". Tried clearing the cache and files of Chrome but then it just crashed when launched. Had to do a reset (not a big deal since I had a Samsung SmartSwitch backup on my SD Card). Just hope that dose not happen every OTA, but guessing it was a weird fluke.

Since the USERDATA is TA5, I would recommend using a build that's closer to that one. You can get TA3 from SamFirm under regions/CSCs ACG, CCT, LRA, SPR, TFN, or VZW.
When you say "returning to stock", what firmware is currently on the device?

Do you have all of AT&T's apps and bloatware now? If so, it should be updating at least to SJ3, if not up to TA5. You would need an active AT&T SIM inserted in order to pull the update though

Galaxy s10+ SM-G975FDS samsung firmwares need help

When searching for a firmware for the phone I just bought on ebay none of the sites i have checked, including sammobile and updato.com, have the baseband version I have which is G975FXXAU1ASE5. I specifically bought this phone so that i could root it and when I checked all the bands that it has there are all except 1 for the tmobile network and I read that it should still work. I currently use metropcs so my question is which firmware can i use that is going to work with tmobile or metropcs and if i use one with a different baseband or csc will it affect if my phone works or not on the tmobile network. I am also in California in the US and all the firmwares are international so what should I use? My CSC is G975FOXM1ASE5 and I haven't seen any with the same CSC either

You will be able to use on Tmobile. All of the carrier features are available excepted RCS messaging. You will also be missing some of the LTE bands, like 71. You can flash any of the 975F firmwares. OXM denotes multi csc firmware regions. Use Frida download tool instead of Sammobile or updato. It much faster - 4/5 minutes vs hours with those websites. AUT gets updates first, but you can choose the same one that is currently on your phone.

I have Frija already and tried it last night with the auto setting and it didn't let me put OXM for a CSC. I tried to run it with MODEL- SM-975F and for the CSC I chose AUT with auto selected and it gives me an error that it cannot find a firmware. I read a comment from somebody with the same phone as I have on yt and somebody replied with a firmware from Nepal and it said OXM in the CSC would that have been compatible too?

I followed the instructions and now my phone won't boot and gives me a message saying the phone does not have samsung's official firmware and I used the firmware from Frija. It is not booting in any way.

Your bootloader is still locked. Reflash entire stock firmware [BL, AP, CP, CSC (not home_csc). It's much easier to follow the videos showing the process instead of following written posts if you're having issues.

My bootloader was unlocked fine already. I followed both of these videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3a8YnWT3yk&t=179s / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2Xp-lQg1xs&t=612s
Both are pretty much the exact same all the way through. I flashed the patched tar from Magisk restarted the phone and held the vol up bixby power combo when it went black and then I went to wipe data factory reset then rebooted. After it booted i set up the phone the same and checked if magisk was there and it was not so i turned off the phone and when booting i did the vol up bixby and power and the screen stayed on the boot logo saying the this phone is not running samsung's official software and on the top a red line that said i can flash any official software and it stayed like that and after trying to just boot it with the power it gave the exact same message. Only difference from the video and what I did was the firmware I got was from frija while they got theirs from different methods like sammobile and samfirm
EDIT- I flashed the ap cp and csc not the bl file from the firmware i got off of frija and the phone booted up now. The phones bootloader is still unlocked and it boots up but there is no root.

If you flashed those files you should be back to stock. Start the process again. Try this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Mn4dTjxY89I
Also make sure your patched magisk file is not corrupted when transferred back to your PC.
If not, I'm out of suggestions...sorry.
