I think he's referring to the US snapdragon models.

Yep, US Snapdragon S8+ for Sprint has been released. Finally a Snapdragon model! Maybe the rest of the models will follow. Not published on Sammobile yet but by using the SamFirm.exe, I was able to download Android Pie for the S8+ (Sprint version).

Just flashed the Sprint Pie firmware onto my TMobile phone (Odin). Everything seems to be working so far.

Hey guys I made a guide for flashing this Firmware onto a AT&T or Verizon S8/S8+ if anyone is interested.

Worked perfectly for me. Didn't wipe/reset my phone, and all my AT&T stuff is still working perfectly (Wi-Fi calling, VOLTE, Enhanced Messaging etc).

I don't want to receive the One UI update. How can I effectively disable my S8+ from receiv eing it ?

Just don't proceed to update ?

S8+ on tmobile I installed the sprint update with the modded 3b Odin only two things to know first have the latest tmobile update downloaded from the updato firmware website so you can plug in the user data slot inn Odin with the tmobile one and second make sure you use csc home from the sprint update in the csc slot or you'll wipe your phone!

Got it last night on my GS8+ on ATT.

This can help others who do not want the receive the updated Interface / Android 9.0 Pie
under Settings >>> Developer Options >>> Auto Update System has been disabled.
under Settings >>> Software Update >>> Download Updates Automatically has been disabled.
This is the best option to prevent over night mandatory firmware updates that were common in the past.

ADB updates from server for N950U-ATT version

Thanks to @Venom0642 and @DanMc85 i was able to get updates for Note 8 AT&T version. All updates are 100% AT&T stock from servers and can be apply by ADB sideloads. I will try to keep them up to date. Some updates are released and other not, so it is yours and only your choice if you want to apply them or not. Remember there is no updates to unreleased updates and if you apply unreleased update and AT&T will go with different one then you applied, you will have to ODIN back to stock and start again. So choose wisely.
Good Luck
Unreleased :
N950USQU2BQJA-to-S2BQK2 - Link is UP thanks to @Venom0642
Released :
11/14/2017 with October security N950USQU1AQIA-to-U2BQJA
On 9/25/2017 with August 1st security : N950USQU1AQH7-to-U1AQIA
EDIT- Warning : all ADB sideload will wipe your device, so make sure you have backup
Glad You Got this Going Here!:good:
Updates
I got the Note 8 unlocked and flashed the att version.
The version you have here is the latest and my phone is telling me I have the latest already. Is there a fix for this? It will be a pain to have to sideload and restore every time I want to update the phone. Wonder if the unlocked phone is checking Samsung's servers and not AT&Ts. Any ideas on this? Also where do you get the update files? Thanks for any help.

For AT&T SM-N950U1 users who flash the carrier Firmware have to sideload updates...this only affects AT&T users AFAIK. All the files are in different threads in this section...you can choose to flash complete AQIA (latest) or AQH7 (original) and then sideload the update AQH7 to AQIA as found in the threads...there may be an apn setting for OTA updates to work that you can edit though....adb sideload is simple enough though.
One may try just putting the update listed in op on their internal storage and boot to recovery and select apply update...to avoid wiping

This is unreleased update and there is no change log as of yet, plus we don't know if this will be official release.
I think Oreo will be held on Samsung servers not on AT&T, but if on At&T I will get it.

OK. I have another update and is N950USQU1AQIA-to-U2BQJA . Uploading to Google drive but seem like bootloader is updated to 2 and firmware revision to B. So if anybody is willing to take one for team since we don't know if you can downgrade from bootloader 2 to 1 if you need it. I will post link shortly.

Samsung s7 edge sm G935T firmware update?

Hi,
I have recently bought Samsung s7 edge T mobile unlocked , but it not showing update. The last updated was android 6.0.1 on November 1st, 2016. I have also tried to connected with smart switch pc app but it's not showing any update either. I want to update my device with official firmware so that it will update automatically and regularly. I'm in Pakistan.
I have seen on Sam mobile to update via Odin. I want to know is this official update? I have not rooted and don't want to get rooted , I want to keep it official.
Thank you
WEIRD is knox tripped ?
Could be that the unlock was not done officially by the carrier, and it tripped KNOX or the OTA security bit.
I've been looking for a reputable download for the SM-G935T G935TUVS4BQJ2 firmware. For some reason T-Mobile does not have a download link now.

Phone is alive again! Rooted, mildly debloated BQJ2 firmware (by mildly I mean, some sammy apps, LookOut, and T-mobile app removed)
Of note, Substratum made my phone lag for some reason, even with the governors set correctly and whatnot. Will try clearing cache on the app and then clear cache in recovery and see if it works better. The whole reason I had to reflash is that for some reason when I accidentally changed the GPU governor in Kernel Adiutor, it broke Play store.
Can anyone help with this. After updating to QBJ2, it won't detect network anymore, keeps searching!
Anyone got a fix please?
I have virus
What I have to do?

One of my Friend bought g950u1 from us and he is using it in India now. He has been getting all the updates samsung pushed earlier. I am sure you guys will get the oreo update also, If it ever gets released.
Waiting forever for this update.

I dont think that is true, only a few carriers have implemented checks(AT&T for sure) to make sure you are using their sim before they let you download the update. It should not matter by region at all. The updates are pushed by IMEI series and not by geolocation.
I got the update today
Got the notice on my TMO running unlocked code today as well. Has anyone installed it yet? Any issues? How's battery life?

I am using on sprint, installed the OTA yesterday. My experience with battery life has been worse than the beta version I was on.
So is there a way to stop the update? I want to let it bake a bit. I thought I could go into Dev Options and disable Auto System Update but as soon as I got home and on WiFi it started downloading Oreo.

Just remember, that means if you take this update, no changing firmwares unless the other carriers jump on board. Not sure why they are still updating the bootloader at this point anyway.

Yes, and Beware!!
A (or 0xA) = 10 in Hexadecimal notation
I'm on AT&T and took the new firmware - G930AUCUACSF1 and now I cannot use V9 Engineering kernel to root.
And I cannot switch to G930U firmware since that newest version stops at V9 bootloader.
ugh -> Samsung!!!!!!!

Not until (hopefully) the G930U comes out w/ new version w/ Bootloader V10....
Cannot downgrade due to Samsung imposed restriction.

I used App Freezer to freeze all the bloatware and it's cleared up my app screen greatly.
You need to ADB into the phone to set permissions for the app, so that's a bit tricky, but worth it.
Hey, check out the latest firmware that lvpre upload to his google drive (his thread is here It's the only one I've found that has allowed me to to change to 930U with v10 bootloader. Sorry, brand new to the forum, don't know how to make links work

Got an update today for a205u on tmobile it was a security patch not android 10 why is it taking so long
Just got the Android 10/One UI 2.0 yesterday.
I am in Ottawa Canada.
I was interested how much the Pro settings had changed in the Camera App.
I was looking for Shutter Speed and Exposure Time settings which had been rumoured to be in these updates.
Alas they are not.
I was hoping they settings would be there to aid in my astrophotography until I get a dedicated telescope webcam (SVBony SV305 or better).
Maybe the settings I want will be released in One UI 2.5.
A bit disappointed.
Update
I just found Camera FV-5 App and it does everything I want.

But as everyone says flash at you own risk . I factory reset my phone in stock recovery to get a clean install .

Bootloader gets updated too. That's why I was making a joke.
Used a different site to download, gonna test and I'll report back
xfinity Q firmware works on the tmo-metro a20s. make sure to factory reset after installing or itll jump to recovery with an error.
(just in case) the update does not enable the oem unlock option.

We know Xfinity mobile's firmware works for almost everyone on this phone so why is it taking so long for our carrier's to put out the update when Xfinity mobile got this update a month ago ??
