Samsung S8 Plus Model SM-G9550 flashing G955F firmware - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

I've purchased 6gb ram, 128gb memory phone which is dual sim (blue coral) and would like to flash G955F firmware so that i can have full english (not the breakfast). Has anyone done this successfully? any advise would be appreciated.
I don't fancy bricking my device so asking here if its safe to do so.

Hello. Yes it's possible only with custom rom if you can install twrp recovery in your Chinese device. You can't install the stock firmware with odin...

So I have to root, twrp flash custom ROM and then can flash firmware via twrp?

No need to root. You just need twrp to install a custom rom for your model. But if I were you, I won't install a custom rom cause your warranty will be cancel and your secure folder won't work anymore...
Next time buy a full international version dual sim, model with FD at the end, like G955FD. But I'm not sure 128GB exists for the international model [emoji848]

I bought this model for 6gb ram, didn't envisage this issue. There's hardly any chinese but would have preferred full English
I was under the impression you could flash any official firmware to any model.

You cann't do this cause your device have Snap 835, and 955F is Exinos model. I can only advice you to flash HonkKong firmware. It will have English.

+ different modem
if its about the language then use any app to change system locale
you dont need root to change locale
i used this app before and did exactly what i wanted (check help inside the app for more details)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sightidea.com.setlocale
there are many apps but this one was easier for me
hope it helps

Really? Cause everyone whose tried that the other way around has hard bricked...

Sure, it will work. but the TMO only S8 not S8+ are working. Identifi itself as G950U. You can install a alot of different Roms. Especially in China are a lot of good Roms. I installed a lot of them, and figured out a method of install that works in 8 from 10 tries from cross Flash.
But i can upload my favority China Rom. Called G95X0_7.0_Soul_V7. With Playstore Support and ability to change everything you can. http://bbs.gfan.com/forum.php?mod=v...st&typeid=12871&typeid=12871&orderby=lastpost That Site hosting all the Roms of our Dreams. I will upload the next days all Roms i have.

way Talking about the 835 version Brush process:
0 first brush into the Bank of China system, so easy to unlock crom.
1 because the 835 version does not oem lock, crom lock. Please install crom before brushing machine unlock tool, is a apk
open on the network after the operation to unlock. (Please remember s6 s7edge same)
2 unlock is completed, use the memory card to copy the card brush rom, mobile phone into the line brush mode with odin line brush into the corresponding version of the TWRP card brush rom can, this step and 8895 exactly the same

I purchased a dual sim SM-G955FD while in Kuwait. It doesn't have the Wi-Fi calling & HD Voice/Video options installed. I want to get the correct software to flash my s8 plus to fully have all the functions that Samsung store claimed would work worldwide.
Email me back, I would be happy if someone could walk me through this

Hello. It's carrier options. First you need to install your carrier firmware. Second, your carrier needs to support those options...

[Q] Root SM-N900L

Hi everybody
I have a Korean Note 3 Model SM-N900L (Carrier U+).
Is there available CF-Auto-Root for this specific carrier? My current Android release is 4.4.2 CSC N900LLGTENAA.
Furthermore my HS's Modem is set on the Korean frequencies and not on the Italian Vodafone so LTE does'nt work. . Is this problem fixable somehow?
Any help or suggestion is welcome.

I want to say it could work on your board, CF-auto root was released for Samsung devices Galaxy s2 and up while everything below with gingerbread you would have to use a one click app to root it such as z4root or GingerBreak.
I understood CF auto root was released for many Note 3 model.
For instance is available for SM-N9005 , 900S, 900 etc.
I cannot find the file for my 900L. The other two rooting methods you mention (z4root or gingerbreak) are quite unknown to me.
Do they work ?
Thank you

I believe CF-Auto-Root also works for the N900L if you download the 900S (SKT version) because the 3 carriers use the same method.
And yes, somebody did confirm that LG works if you use the SK file.
But you could listen to jisoo's advise (which I would recommend):
Quote by jisoo:
CF-Auto-Root temporarily replaces your stock recovery to install SuperSU. It then tries to restore the original recovery, but obviously this will cause problems if your device is not well supported.
If you are going to install CWM anyway, I would suggest you just flash the SuperSU package after you have flashed CWM with Odin. The advantage is that you can take a full nandroid backup before rooting, in case something goes wrong.
For CWM, you can use the SKT version from here:. This has been reported as working on the LGU+ model, and I can personally attest to it working on my KT Note 3.
Thank you
Can you let me have a brief step by step procedure?
The step about how to install superSU package after CWM is not very clear to me. I believe CF autoroot authomatically install super su ...or not.
also which is the meaning of " your device is not very well supported"?
XDA ....always one step beyond
Thank you!!

Hi, that means that I don't really recommend CF-Auto-Root because it just keepa recovery. So what I would recommend is to flash CWM at Odin (make sure you've downloaded SuperSU. Zip to your downloads on your phone before) and then go to recovery - install zip - choose SuperSU.
Sent from my SM-N900L using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I just want to confirm that the cf auto root for the SM-N900S korean file has worked on my SM-N900L korean phone!
I then flashed CWM using odin.
Hopefully others in the future will root the 900L with confidence!
Thanks!!!

THANK in Advance.
I'm not an expert on this area, but you can download the latest FD rom here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G930FD/
It's always a good idea to make sure you have the stock ROM for your device before making mods.

Not sure what's the reason behind it. No ROM's were available for the FD version until this lot. I guess it might take a short while for all ROM's to be loaded up.
You could try to use a g930f instead a g930fd from sammobile, they say that are just the same un many threads

Wrong software installed on phone bought on ebay

Hello, Guys! I bought an S7 from eBay and it finally arrived. I'm from Germany and after a little while I recognized that some things aren't translated and I found an entry in the settings called "United Arab Emirates". SO I think I got the wrong software on my phone. I contacted Samsung via support chat and asked them whether it's possible to install the software for Germany and they said it is not possible from their site. So I asked them whether it is possible using the download- or the recovery-mode but it is not possible from their site but I'm free to search for a solution on the internet (WTF). Can I just download a proper software from for example sammobile and install it via recovery?
Help is really appreciated!
Which version you have?
930F?

Check what model the phone is from Download Mode (Volume Down & Home & Power), that is the correct model and the only stock ROM you can flash

Galaxy s8+ japanese

which variant do i use for galaxy s8 from japan? Sm-G955J / SVC35
Please
variant of what? you looking to stay w/Japanese or go to another region/country?
I just want to use an operator-free rom stock, but I can still use it in Japan
Thanks for help!
What's Japan use for cell svc, GSM? Exynos phone? If so pretty much any custom Exynos ROM, with the version appropriate CSC ought to work just fine.
Maybe it's out of topic, but kinda similar with my question, and the last reply is still quite recent.
I just got a used s8+ g9550 (TGY/Hongkong). I looked at Phone Info app, it comes with Hongkong PDA & CSC (G9550ZHU1AQG6), and US version of BL & CP (G955USQU1AQGL). Still on Nougat 7.0.
It works just fine here in Indonesia. But I'm afraid it won't be getting any OTA updates since I'm not living in China. Is it actually OK to mix up the firmware (AP, CSC,BL,PDA) like that? What versions are compatible with my device?
I'm totally new here. I don't even know why there're 4 firmwares for each device, and what each one of them is for. All I know CP = Modem/Baseband, BL = Bootloader. Mind to explain it to me? Thanks

I beleive your phone is a snapdragon processor not exynos - if it is chinese, I think there may be a way to unlock the bootloader but I am not 100% sure of that. I know that the S7 Chinese was able to be unlocked but there was a special ap you had to install in order to do it.
I know I haven't helped much but I wish you good luck...
