CRL3 firmware for S8 SM-G950FD - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi,
I have SM-G950FD model of S8 and I want to flash CRL3. However, on sammobile, CRL3 is not available for "SM-G950FD" for INS CSC code. It is available for SM-G950F model number. Can I flash that firmware to my phone?

Yes you can flash, but you will lose dual sim, since the FD model is dual sim and F model is single sim.

Actually, both devices use the same firmware. Matter of fact, I just flashed G950FXXU4CRL3_G950FOXM4CRL1 on my DUO S8, followed by the Pie updates.

Yup, it's because the FD and the F uses the same CPU, ram...

That's correct. Unlike the 950U, which comes with a Snapdragon processor.

Slightly off topic, but does anyone know if the F or FD firmwares can be safely flashed on the N model (Korean variant, exynos)?
The N variant firmware on SAMmobile is always waaaay behind the other models.

Looking for stock dual sim snapdragon odin package

Title says it all, I have not yet found a stock odin package for the dual sim snapdragon s7. Anyone know how to change the csc's? I want to set this as a US device because right now the calendars have a bunch of chinese holidays.
well you need the TGY Hong Kong Firmware. Also this is for S7 Edge I assume you have SM-G9350 the only S7 edge that is bootloader unlockable? I'll give you a stock firmware link for this specific model ONLY. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=312978532265363995

Yes this is the bootloader unlockable s7 edge with the snapdragon. Thanks for the link. You know of any way to purge all the Chinese crap off the device? (QQ and local calendars).

What is my real model number and software version.

My s7 edge, according to apps like cpu-z and Antutu, my model number is SM-935F. But when I see my software version, it is SM-935FD.
I HAVE bought this phone in Dubai and currently living in India. So according to Indian version on Sammobile.com, I flashed SM-935FD Rom.
Now the problem is whenever any new update comes on my software version SM-G935FD, my phone shows its already updated with latest update while sammobile shows new update.
Should I download SM-935F Software which belongs to other country??
(I have exynos and dual Sim phone.)

flashing: from SM-G950U to SM-G950F

Hey there,
I have SM-G950U (which is for US market) and now I'm living in Europe, can I reinstall firmware to one from my current region even if it is for SM-G950F model?
SM-G950U ---> SM-G950F
Thanks.

I don't think it will work, flashing a European firmware has boot loader included, European boot loader not compatible with US model

lol we can't flash exynos rom to Qualcomm
Yeah... I thought so. I'm asking cuz apparently I cannot obtain and use LTE+ in Europe even though it has the same frequencies. Now it says LTE which is around 11 mbps...

You might be able to flash only the CSC as they dont contain system binaries just config files but I have no idea if it will work or now so be prepared to restore from soft brick id you try
I have a G950F.
Does anybody know if I can just flash the CSC from the G950U (ATT) firmware to my G950F International phone?
I know you can't flash the full firmware as the G950F has the Exynos processor and the G950U is made for the Snapdragon.
But is it safe to just flash the CSC file only as I want to fully use Samsung Pay, wifi calling, VoLTE, etc?
I'm using the Australia firmware (XSA) for my G950F.

What's the difference between SM-G950F and SM-G950FD ?

Hey people,
It may be a dumb question but I need to ask it lol
As I defined at the topic title, what's the difference between SM-G950F and SM-G950FD ?
I will flash the stock ROM into my S8 (SM-G950FD) but in the official firmware website, it doesn't have an availible firmware in my own country. (TURKEY)
SM-G950F has firmwares from Turkey but SM-G950FD does not have one.
Would it crash my phone if I flash SM-G950F firmware in?

The F series are single sim model - only one Sim card.
The FD series are dual(2) SIM model - 2 SIM cards
As far as I am aware it's the same firmware for both F and FD models.

Help needed - Imported s8 network issue in india

I bought s8 (G950N-Exynos-singled sim) from south korea though i live in india. Here voLTE wasn't working before, then i flashed a custom rom hadesrom one ui by corsicanu. Now voLTE works almost fine.
But the network service of my device is very poor than indian s8 (i compared it with indian s8). I was wondering if i can flash the bootloader and modem of indian s8(G950FD) via odin .
But the problems are 1. my phone is singled sim, 2. there are no such indian s8 firmware of android 9 on sammobile.com.
What if i flash the bl and cp of G950F ?

voLTE is a carrier specific service. if it wasnt working on your previous ROM and is currently working on the new one, then the dev baked in the goodness of voLTE on your ROM where it was absent prior in the previous ROM.
Anyways, as far as what will happen if you flash the G950F firmware, it will boot and then the phone will think its a G950F. Thats it. Exynos processor S8's can accept the F firmware
