S8 US Unlocked Software Update - Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hey guys,
I was checking for a new software update for the G950U1. I just saw one come through. I will download and flash it when its done, but it will be out soon. I will keep checking CSC codes too see if I can find one. But anyways this update should be out later today or tomorrow. In the picture it says Can not send binary information 200/400 that is because Samsung is still uploading the new firmware. The old baseband is G950U1UEU1AQDC. The new baseband is G950U1UEU1AQE3. For those who were complaining about not getting updates. Just give them some time. Even hours. I heard Bixby Voice is contained in it. If you flashed the original firmware to your phone you get the update.

I'm pretty sure. Im having some problems with it though. I pressed the button and Bixby voice was activated. Made this cool animation and sound. It took me to a terms and conditions page where I accepted them. Then if exited and stopped working. I go into Bixby home to update it to see if that will bring it back. It says there's a new update and when I press it, it downloads for 2 seconds then quits and says that the latest version is installed. But every time I go back it says there's an update available

It must not be a network error because mine does the same thing when I try to update bixby. Says it's updating for a second or two and then says it's up to date

My Verizon S8 just got an update notificaiton:

I just complained few days ago about no updates so far for the US unlocked ... Damn ... That went quick ... Hope they will maintain the frequency of these updates ...

Lol, yea: "I bricked my phone, can anyone help me?" "Will Sprint replace my phone?"
haha yeah i would be careful using it...it seems like it "supports" a lot of devices but it only looks like theres real support for the g1..so i would be careful using it.
but i do think we should get our devs up there :]
I maybe wrong but it looks like the only thing you can flash for the CDMA Hero is a recovery image, no ROMs yet.
Seems similar to Flipz Kitchen...which is out to donators now! Hopefully this doesn't start another donnybrook around here!

nothing wrong with choice unless he borrowed some stuff from flips?
Is it just me or does everybody just way prefer to take the few extra steps to do this stuff myself I never trust one of these so called auto anything basically
I trusted the Kitchen to root, because I mean what harm could it do. But Flash a Rom? Not a chance I am trusting anything but my self.
I think I will stick with the fresh kitchen until some more reviews hit about this. Wonder if the dev has any sort of checks to make sure you aren't about to really screw up???
ill do it whats the worst that could happen... bad flash? no big deal just boot into recovery lol....
dont be scurd
Something gets labeled wrong in the app you flash it thinking o it says its OK to do and it bricks your phone so yea called me scared but I prefer my phone useable not in paperweight mode
I downloaded it. Looks promising... I hope it works!

OTA Verizon Site change?? OTA today??

http://support.vzw.com/system_update/thunderbolt.html
No longer shows the 5/13/2011 dates in header and the main part of the page. The date is now BLANK? OTA today maybe ?????
Just sharing since I check it every hour waiting the update!
I'll believe it when I can download it. I refuse to get my hopes up!
The PDF indicates fixes for resets and power cycles, or is this the pdf from the MR1 update?
Nope and if you look at
Verizon Wireless is pleased to announce a new software update,

I just researched and you are right, that baseband appears much newer. I also noticed on the Incredible 2 update page, that it has no date listed. Perhaps these are coming down the tubes together this weekend.

Looks good, but you will likely have to say goodbye to the free mobile hotspot if you are not rooted.
And no mention of gingerbread for us non-rooted users.

Yes, that is one thing I saw that was missing. However if this solves the stability issue then GB might be an easy push for them to get out. Or, they forgot to tack it onto the flyer

seriously? the GPS on the tbolt is a complete fail and it's a software issue. Using a third party GPS app to "fix" it that worked the first few times and now it locks in minutes (or till i just give up) rather than a couple seconds.
Sorry. I guess i was just spoiled being on the Dinc that locked instantly every single time.
But since you question it, i am jealous yours works.
I know it usually doesn't mean much but all day I've been getting the Service Unavailable error when checking for any updates

GSM Version?

Quick question, Will there be an GSM version of the Photon Q LTE? with removable SIM?
I'm talking about a different variant
the codename for the photon q is the asanti_c, there is a lot of reason to believe a gsm friendly version will come out that will be called just the asanti.

Shouldn't take much more than a hardware tweak on their end at least.

Correct.
It is codename Asanti and the model is XT898. Right now I know it will be for AT&T, but usually you can get an unlock codes for other carriers.
Code:
_._._.XT898-continuous.ATT.en.US
_._._.XT898.ATT.en.US
Great, let's hope other variants will have an unlocked bootloader

As long as the carrier allows them it should. Seeing as AT&T is the reason behind the Atrix HD not being unlocked, (hardware/software support it, just not the Unlock My Device page), I'd say the chance is slim.
There should be international version of the phone, from what I know (I don't know about AT&T version).
There should be one if only for the fact that this is the first high end QWERTY device I have seen in ages

I fixed that bug the day I got my glide, just replaced the APK from the one on OsiMood, and we already have an ICS Update, you have to plug your phone on a PC, start Kies, and search for updates.
I don´t want to be disrespectful, but judging by your answer, I think that Angry Birds may be a little too complicate for your mental capacity, maybe you should try Pong, more apropiated for someone of your generation.

Saw this thread and promptly pulled down the update. Won't know about improvements to battery for a few days. But 5 hours since update and androis OS is still # 1, and android system is # 3.
I have the french version who is the first to receive updates but what version are these ???
Still never got an update, W8 on Fido (Rogers). The only downside to a non-Nexus device - carrier updates grrrrr.

Been running the latest update since this morning.
How funny. I was in Best Buy on Saturday and visited the Samsung Kiosk. I had issues with my multi-window randomly popping up without pressing it. Anyways, I took it in and got them to reflash the device. Didn't notice till now but I got the update on that day, which solved my problems that I have been having since I got the device.
Can't wait until VZW pushes this out 6 months from now.
when does AT&T usually push anything? It's already April and I still haven't received the March security update.

So you don't want to update to a better performing phone, in hopes of rooting to get a better performing phone minus features. You may miss out and continue waiting until the s8. Just saying you should just try enjoying the phone.

I can confirm after almost a full 2nd day of use that this update does wonders for standby. My phone came off charger this morning at 8 AM, its not 4 PM and I am at 87% battery remaining. SOT only 23 minutes, some voice calls, some emails. But standby is outstanding and noticeably improved since the PC8 update.

Anyone get the beta yet?

T-Mo build will have the carrier aggregation and MIMO support enabled.
Nothing here. It appears a lot of people that were probably in are having issues. It is displaying a "server issue" message and not showing us as registered. Perhaps we were not selected but then again I have not read about anyone with a tmus device being selected.
I will be bumped down if Samsung couldn't supply the tmus users.

Nope not yet. And though I registered on Thur morning I'm apparently deregistered as of today for some odd reason. Though I'm certainly not alone. Seems to be a case of hurry up and wait to see if we've even been selected to participate. Hopefully so, but if not... Well... There's always waiting until it officially comes out.

Apparently they are getting setup of the s6 beta. This is thought to be the reason for server errors.
Maybe, I'm being very naive I'm sure, they are fixing bugs before release. YouTube is broken and other things in the sprint /Verizon release. I'm sure this isn't the reason though
Edit: Tmobile is having server issues. So that's the actual reason for the delay. Just gotta wait. Atleast we know now why it hasn't hit.
