Flash only CP? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Can you flash just the CP file? Using the unlocked US firmware but wanted to use the T-Mobile modem. Tried to flash it and it just fails with no error. So are we not able to flash just the CP?

I wouldn't flash t-mobile modem drivers on to universal firmware. This can disable carrier aggregation permanently. Unless you want to use the phone with T-mobile only.

Normally yes... But your unlocked US Model is this exynos or snapdragon?

Well it was originally a T-Mobile version. I flashed the unlocked US firmware on it.

Snapdragon firmware for usa g935u

Hi community, this is a good forum for the SM-G935U as well.
Someone who have the G935U need to try the G9350 TWRP RECOVERY, it supposed to be an UNLOCK BOOTLOADER. I have 4 of the G935T phones but no G935U, also I have the original TWRP RECOVERY for G935T. Maybe that RECOVERY will work on the G935U model. There's a link for TMB-G935U firmware, Sprint SPR-G935U, Verizon VZW-G935U firmware and International G935U firmware. I will upload the latest firmware for US VERSION. ENJOY FELLAS!!!

These are carrier phones not unlocked G935u. Tmobile is G935t, ATT 35A, etc you can see the numbering. These are all locked bootloaders. And they have seperate carrier threads also.

PS: Can you Carrier people that are rooted use flashfire and flash kernels? Or is that broken? What about odin? I need more information if you want roms and kernels.

On t mobile. We can flash roms via flashfire but I don't think we can flash kernels cause our locked bootloader. Only 1 rom available for us on a carrier device. I would LOVE to see some new roms. Also I can be a Tester if you don't have one.

what if you flash a zip to update the kernel blob not the whole boot.img so ramdisk stays untouched? can you flash something like this in flashfire?

Not sure to be honest. We are using a sprint debug boot.img for root so I imagine it can be tweaked
Edit: link to our root method

Recently rooted a SM-G935T using the "High-on-android" tutorial. Battery and performance was horrible, until I flashed the Echoe ROM using FlashFire. Flashing the ROM also changed the model number to SM-G935U.

I mean v1.xx? v1.50 is the newest but isn't really ready for the G935t. I think 1.40 or 1.41 were the newest versions that work on tmo. The last time I used Echo it was an early version and it had a lot of issues.

Does the Echoe rom use the U baseband? It must if it changed it or maybe the APK1 CSC MODWM file perhaps.
Baseband is now showing G935TUVU4APIA. I'm not sure what is was before, but guessing it didnt change because of the "T" in the G935T.
Okay so I have this Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge G935U TMobile Version.
What I NEED to know is when using Odin to flash these files which files go to PDA, or PHONE?
Is the AP file for the PDA slot or PHONE slot?
Thank you for your help in advance.

International Version Rom with Root S8+ work for att

Will a international version rom that already has root built in work on att variant as the att variant has a locked bootloader and international variant has unlocked bootloader? Aka a rom made for 955F that already has root built in.

how would you flash it without root
So I take it the root method for the 955f wouldn't work us side then cause of the locked bootloiader?

Wouldnt work - 955F doesnt use the snapdragon chipset, and even if it did you would need custom recovery to flash the rom
I would just need custom recovery to flash root method cause there's only 2 methods right now international side 1 is the untested supersu and the other is the majisk method. The majisk method doesn't have any odin flashable tar files. Then as far as flashing the Rom I could just use flashfire.

again the international roms will not work since they are not built for the USA's snapdragon chipset

I can confirm using the TMB Odin files that if you don't use a userdata or CSC (Just AP CP and BL) for the ATT, it works fine.

You need to download and flash the U1 (US unlocked) firmware first, fully wipe, and flash it. Then you can download and flash the TMB U (T-Mobile) firmware and flash it. You can get the firmware from SamFirm, Updato, or from other threads where users have uploaded them to make them easier to download.

Did you use the modded or patched ODIN from the OP in this thread? Did you enable Developer Options and enable USB Debugging? What firmware is your device on and which firmware did you try to flash? The bootloader version must be the same or newer (higher number) than what you are flashing over. U1 1ARBG for example can't be flashed over U 2ARC6. The bootloader version is the 5 character from the left in your build number in Settings, About Phone, Software Information.

There's no v3 bootloader for U1. If your already on v3, that's why it's failing. You need go wait for the U1 update. Probably some time next month. Someone in another thread said the U1 is only getting quarterly updates, which on the current cycle would be end of next month

Yes! 3ARG7 is bootloader v3, noted by the 3 in 3ARG7. Until U1 comes out with the v3 bootloader, you are stuck on your current firmware.

Odin files for ARG8?

Am I able to flash the U firmware on this Verizon Firmware?

Hello! I was trying to figure out if there was a way to remove the bloatware from this phone, without a root. I might not be able to since my build number is G930VVRSBCTC1, which is the B bootloader. If there is, or you need more info, please notify me. Thank you

The issue with the B bootloader has to do with rooting, not with flashing unbranded firmware through Odin. You just need the correct U firmware and Odin.
You might also need the patched Odin, I can't recall which models require it but some do for flashing from carrier to non-carrier software. Try normal Odin first and if it gives a mismatch error then use patched Odin.

Well, how would I know which version of the U firmware I would need? Does it need to match my bootloader version?
I'm trying to do the opposite. I have a Verizon S7 that I long ago flashed to the 930U firmware. Now it's being sold, and it will need the 930V firmware. But all of my attempts to flash back to Verizon has failed miserably on every version of Odin I've tried. Not sure where to go next.
To add, I keep getting FAIL! (Auth) errors no matter what I do. I've tried different PCs. Different firmware. Different cables. Nothing.
Some of the firmwares are at different bootloader levels, so if the G930V firmware you're trying to flash is an older bootloader it'll fail. Try flashing everything but BL.
If that doesn't work also try patched Odin as it can bypass some fail messages https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572

Boot screen ( logo ) is part of Android's boot.img what is processed by device's bootloader when device boots up: it's NOT a so-called bloatware.

Yes, you can do it, of course your device must be carrier unlocked and OEM unlock, USB debugging and those stuffs have to be enabled, you can use some Odin modded to do it in case the normal won´t work. Regarding repartitioning you don´t need to do (usually) nothing so this option is unticked in Odin by default. Use the new CSC contained in the new firmware not the HOME_CSC and this will delete all the bloatware and also the boot splash.
