Can I turn back to old firmware G955F TUR - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion

Hey there,
I have been having issues with notifications since I updated my S8 + to the latest version. The Messages app sometimes shows SMS notifications but sometimes not. I conveyed the situation to Samsung via members, but they do not produce a solution. I downloaded the old firmware from Sammobile. Is it possible to go back to the old version using these?
Now I'm using: G955FXXSBDTJ1 I want to turn back and try G955FXXU9DTF1 or G955FXXS9DTEA. Other than me having this problem and return etc. If anyone has found a solution in ways, I would be glad if they share how they did.

Hey Bro.
I running android 6.0 beta but no new update for me ...
How update tu android 6.01
Just came to my phone as well. Downloading it now.
It would be great if someone could upload the rom if a dev could somehow use it to distribute it to the rest or maybe a system dump
It works, with a small starting issue.
Edge features are great. News (Yahoo only, can't seem to be able to change it) people, tasks, frequently used apps, stocks, tools (compass, ruler, flashlight), Twitter feed, sports scores (again Yahoo) Internet bookmarks etc.
Most everything can be customized and changed to suit your needs. One useful feature is locations and what you want the phone to do when you reach that location. I set mine to turn off wifi and BT and put it in vibrate when I reach work. I know, these things have been around for a long time but it's nice to have them in the Edge screen.
After the update was applied I was stuck on 2G for a while. Turning mobile networks off/on, swapping APNs and turning on/off roaming didn't help. I then opted to go for Automatic 3G/2G in network selection, which got me on 3G, then I switched back to Automatic LTE/3G/2G which got me back on LTE. I did not reboot, which may have fixed the issue. Just a headsup... I'm on ATT.
Smart Manager is now in Settings.
Not sure of other features... will dig some more, and of course test the battery life.
Had the 2G issue but rebooted it updated all fine.
Loving the edge features glad to see Samsung wake up and really introduce a killer feature. Now they need to keep up support, add even more cards and advertise the feature. Location feature is cool as is the compass although needs a calibration at each use.
Agenda card is awesome everything for the day and one click brings up the details.
Contact tab finally a direct call option plus lots of other options.
Only about 350MB download. OTA, its an awesome update 6.0.1 and January security patch.
is the lag still present any where on the UIs animations ?
Got the update zip for my 925F from the "/data/fota" folder.
Here is the link to the update: MEGA
Also I've managed to get the new sboot from the zip and pack it with the Tar-tool to the tar.md5 file in case it's needed for rooting.
Here is the link to the new bootloader: MEGA
Edit: changed the bootloader tar.md5, somehow md5 did not match on previous one. Sorry about that.
Link to the new one: MEGA
Battery notably better with heavy use, playing with app most the day.
I don't notice the lag but then I turn animations right down

How would you flash that with ODIN?
Any help would be appreciated.

If you mean the new bootloader, flash it with BL button.
As for the update.zip, it's not for the Odin but for the stock recovery.

i guess you may want to place the .zip file in data/fota folder and then try restarting phone, restarting into stock recovery or restarting to upload mode for SW updates.
good luck !

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Duos/Dual Sim black version (SM-G935FD) HELP PLEASE...

Hi all !
I'm here cause i really need your help and to be honest everything i've found on web so far, is telling totally the opposite things so i'm lost.
Let me explain a ltl, i purchased a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Duos/Dual Sim black version (SM-G935FD).
Actually i'm from France ( and i was travelling to Serbia for work, and broke my Note 4 )... The problem is i can't do any update from the phone "Registration Failed" when i click on it.
So after few hours on google, looks like the updates simply doesn't work cause i'm moving France - Serbia ... and the phone seems to be imported from Vietnam.
...
first of all, do you think this update problem is realy linked to this ?
second, i was searching on SAMMOBILE for SM-G935FD to try to put a French Firmware with odin (i don't even know if i can do such a thing without ****ing it up ?)... and on this model all i could find are countries from ASIA.
when i type *#1234# in call i get this :
AP : G935FXXU1BPJG
CP : G935FXXU1BPJG
CSC : G935FOXE1BPH1 (i'm not sure if its a O or a 0 ... the letter or the number :-/)
Model : SM-G935FD
in the Software Infos (in settings) i got this :
Android Version : 6.0.1
BaseBand Version : G935FXXU1BPJG
Kernel Version : 3.18.14-9519568
Version Number : MMB29K.G935FXXU1BPJG
...
please guys i spent a lot of money (in hurry) for this phone, and i'm scared that i got ****ed by the vendor...
if anyone here knows something and can help me... would mean a lot...
Thanks in advance for any kind of help guys.
please guys... if someone got any answer... would mean a lot...
as well if u need any information that can help you answer me feel free to ask...
thanks again.
No need to worry INAX93,
Firmware for 935F will work on 935-FD
Please go to the link below (external link)
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/115870/G935FXXU1BPLB_G935FOXA1BPL2_XEF/
You can download this firmware and flash it using Odin_3.12.3 in the download mode by pressing volume down+home+power key when ur phone is switched off and selecting the correct files (the firmware package contains 4 files, hence you need to select the correct slot) and you should be good to go with latest firmware for France...
Hope this helps...

Thank you a million times! And yes it bhelps a lot!
I feel a lot better just with the hope your reply gave me!
So you are sure that i can go with this french firmware and will not get any trouble right? (cause the thing is that i'm not able to even find on Sammobile the firmware i currently have, and looks like its impossible to save from the device without rooting...)
I see a lot of people getring troubles with some functions not working...
And the last thing do you think the "registration failed" that i get when i click on manual update in the phone settings is linked to my location? (not being in Vietnam?)
Thanks a lot again!
Hello, french too, flashed Orange ROM for g935F on my brand new g935FD, everything OK.

Merry Christmas to all of you guys! And thanks again for your help and kindness!
I use the ZTO 935F firmware on my 935FD with no problems, works without problems.
Dont worry INAX93 this is a confirmed official download of the French firmware. Dont worry it wont trip knox if done correctly and also your phone will be restored to french firmware without any trouble. I have done similar attempts of flashing official G935F firmware on my G935-FD without any problems am able to update and knox warranty also intact. So go ahead and wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year....
---------- Post added at 03:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 AM ----------
Registration will also succeed INAX93 so dont you worry...just go ahead and flash the firmware....cheers....
Hi guys !
I just wanted to thank you all one more time ! with your help i did it ! now my phone (SM-G935FD) is with his French XEF firmware !
So thanks a lot to all of you for your help !
Merry Christmas and Happy new year to all of you !
Hi dear experts !
Hope all of you guys are going well, that the new year brought only positive things to you and your family !
I'm back in this thread cause I need your help one more time... everything was well until approx 6 months ago maybe a ltl more... maybe when the 7.0 version went out...
Actually that's when I faced the problem cause i bought a Gear S3 Frontier... I started having troubles with notifications mostly, they were delayed (sometimes for 3-4 hours !)...
While doing a lot of tests in all ways... i found that when i uninstalled all the updates linked to the "Google" app, or disabling it... it solved the problem... Then 6-7 months later i got pissed of cause i wanted to use some of the Google Now features... So i started searching again... after all kind of tests, i finally found that the problem also get solved when my Bluetooth is OFF... When it's set to off i can have the last update for the Google app and everything works fine...
So as i discovered that, i started thinking... maybe the only problem i have actually is a problem with my Bluetooth... as it started 6-7 months ago, 7.0 Version, Gear S3... the point is I started using the Bluetooth before (for my car) and it was always on... but maybe all mixed together... the Google app updates, the 7.0 Version and the Gear S3 king od bluetooth use... is not mixing well... or i don't know...
then i remembered that i flashed my S7 Edge (g935FD) from Vietnam with a firmware from France (g935F)... and maybe i did something incorrect while flashing that led to some Bluetooth troubles that i just discovered... (i had some problems with bluetooth before, like reconnecting randomly to a bluetooth device even if i disconnected it or things like that... )...
So i started searching and find out that there is actually few different way of flashing it, using odin... and i was unable to find a clear explanation of the differencies to be able to understand what i need to do to flash my phone again and in the best conditions.
There is people saying that a bad way of flashing can lead to bluetooth issues (and other things even worse but ok...), so if someone here can explain me, how can i manage to do it the best way... it would mean a lot...
differences between CSC and Home_CSC for example ? then some people are saying "check the re-partition" others say that you must avoid that... how do I know what is the best to do ?
then a lot of them are talking about CSC codes ?
I hope someone will have answers, i want to try to flash it again to try to solve this problem, without bricking it, and also without triggering the knox thing...
thanks in advance for help again...
Ps : the problem i was talking about is :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/s7-edge-notification-delay-problems-t3635161
or even :
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...and-Answers/Delayed-notifications/td-p/114947
no one ? please guys...
still no one to help ?
guys i need just to know if it may solve my problem to flash my phone...
i need to know if i need to check the "re-partition" thing in Odin... somewhere they say "you must check it if you are changing the CSC" and other say "You must avoid checking this unless you have a Pit file" ...
So what is the correct thing to do ?

Can't get Bixby to work [Europe]

Hi all,
I have a UK Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus unlocked. But I can't seem to get Bixby voice to work. It keeps saying I need to update my phone, but my phone is on the latest version apparently. I've attached screenshots before to my phone build etc.

A quick search on Sammobile.com shows there are 2 newer firmware versions for the S8+ using XEU than the one your are using.
You can try flashing the latest (AQF7) via Odin and see if that helps.
Follow the instructions for using Odin at the bottom of the download page - if you dont know already
And, of course, make a backup of your phone before you start.

Oreo has ruined Twilight app - how do I go back to 7.1.1?

Hi all,
Yesterday morning the Oreo update came through on my X Compact, but it has broken the Twilight app's "blue light" filter feature, which now does not work on the notification bar, drop down notifications or the lock screen
I wish I hadn't bothered updating, and I wouldn't have if I had known. My question is, how can I go back to Android 7.1.1 which I had previously?? I realise I'd probably have to flash the FTF, but I can't find it anywhere! I think the file name would be F5321_1304-8441_34.3.A.0.252-R3D_Customized_UK.ftf. Is the "Customized UK" version the generic version? Also if I was to find this file and flash it, do I lose everything, or can I keep my apps and data?
Hope someone can help me return to Nougat, as I rely on the blue light filter to work quite heavily and I am very disappointed that Google made this change.
Thanks
"Yesterday morning the Oreo update came through on my X Compact, but it has broken the Twilight app's "blue light" filter feature, which now does not work on the notification bar, drop down notifications or the lock screen"
Was going to say it works great on my X compact with Oreo, but I just noticed it doesn't apply the filter to those areas. interesting.

You could use Xperifirm through Flashtool. Only a few regions have gotten the O update. Browse through the different region options to find one that's still on N.
You could also probably find isolated ftfs for whatever firmware you're looking for, but Xperifirm is the best way...
Might also be worth checking out Emma. Sometimes there will be multiple options available, but sometimes only the latest.

Thanks for the replies.
I tried XperiFirm and unfortunately for my region, the only ROM available to download is Oreo (34.4.A.0.364). I did install Emma/Xperia Flash Tool, but nothing happens when I load it up and connect my phone? There are no buttons to press and all the fields are greyed out.

For Emma you need to connect in flash mode. Also, you can flash a different region with Flashtool...

Hi Levone1, thanks for the reply.
I was hopeful of having the UK one so I have the exact firmware that was on my phone before. I'm annoyed at myself that I didn't manage to grab it from XperiFirm in time. Are there any problems I can encounter by flashing another region's ROM? Also, will another region's ROM contain different stock apps to what I had before? I keep looking for the UK FTF but I can only seem to find it for download on paid websites
If anyone has a copy of the generic UK ROM of 7.1.1 then I'd love to hear from you!
Why dont you download the "store front" version, it still has 34.2.A

And where is the problem? How long do you watch your notification bar? I am using twilight too, btw. Really silly...

Maybe you don't have any friends, hence why no need to check the notification area?

Need help!!!

Hello, I think I'm in trouble. What happened is that I got this phone just a few days ago. It seemed legit and the price was reasonable. So, I bought it. When I bought it, I checked everything, and it was all good. But unfortunately I didn't checked it by going to the download mode. Now this device says g928f which is the international version, but in download mode it says product : g928p. I didn't notice it earlier and when I thought...hey let me update it to 7.0(it was in 6.0 btw)...I tried to flash the latest g928 upadte(the April one)...and it didn't work. I tried to find workarounds, but nothing worked. Then, I noticed that it was saying g928p in download mode, I thought let's try with g928p firmware. And it worked!...Now where is the problem then??? The problem is firstly it updated again and again (2 times) ...and now I have a activate this device in settings...not only that there are some Sprint bloatware installed...and the most important thing...I can't make a call using my sim...Now I'm super paranoid...I don't know what to do...I tried g928f firmware...and it doesn't work...is it locked???? If it is what can I do to unlock it???(I'm not in USA or anywhere where Sprint works...so that wouldn't work) is there any way to use g928p bootloader on g928f firmware??? Is there any way to get my device working again with 7.0 without this locking??? I'm looking for expart advice...please help me...!!!
why can not you call. what message you get or what is happening more excited ?
why can't you call? use the default firmware from sammobile. and dont forget to download the LATEST version and flash it using ODIN
There is two version for g928p the cdma and the gsm version so search the two firmware in google
