Thank you for this! Is it possible to flash G892U firmware on top of an unlocked G892A device, or will it cause a brick?
I have the same question, if someone can answer pls... Thank You!

I tried it and I get "Secure check fail: PIT". Initially it said SHA fail but I bypassed that using modded Odin (prince comsy). Is there a fix?
I also really hope that there will be a fix for AT&T

Thank you this is very useful. So far this seems to be the only way to update an unlocked AT&T S8 Active (G892A). I haven't managed to OTA update or switchh to G892U firmware yet, but I'm still trying. So you providing these update files is extremely useful!

Thank you so much boyko-alex.
Does anyone know how to apply this zip files via ADB sideoad without wiping the device.
Thank You
Attention! OTA updates must be installed sequentially (begin with an early date)!!!
1. Copy the SS-G891AU******-to-******.zip to the SDcard (root external memory card).
2. Restart the phone to the recovery mode (when you turn on the bixby + volume up + power, the words "recovery ..." in the upper left corner)
3. Then use the "volume up" or "volume down" buttons to select the apply update from SDcard and press the power button (confirm the selection)
4. In the menu that opens, select the same way SS-G891AU******-to-******.zip
5. You wait until the update rolls and the phone reboots.
Hi boyko-alex. I tried that so many times. It always failed and sayas: could not mount sd card. I checked that its not my sd card. Finally trid adb sideload and it worked but i got wiped out. So i updated twice from AQG4 to AQJ2 and AQJ2 to AQK2. But with your latest file i will try again.
Thank You
Attention!
**AQK2 is beta version.
update installed in such a sequence: AQG4 to AQJ2 to AQK3

I bought a US refurb P6210, I am in the UK.
Using Kies it doesn't state a current firmware version - is that a problem?
It also states there are no updates available - fine if true, not needing one.

UEKJC to UEKL1
Has anyone succesfully flashed the full P6210UEKL1 package over the P6210UEKJC firmware?
I'm starting to think UEKJC is a very early or slightly unofficial firmware as Kies doesn't recognise it (Current firmware version: BLANK) and the OTA never finds any updates.
This seems to be the firmware coming on the US refurb units from Digigood on eBay.
I'm tempted to start from fresh and flash UEKL1 using Odin and then see if Kies and OTA start to pick up the real updates from there.
For Odin flashing would this be the right process?
1. Start Odin 1.85
2. Load P6210XARKL1_P6210UEKL1_HOME.tar.md5 into PDA section
3. Turn on P6210 with Power and Volume Down and choose Download mode
4. Hit Start on Odin
Any advice/help appreciated

Yup. That's the correct process. This should bring you back to stock. I don't know what's been done to your tab's ROM in order for KIES not to recognize it, (I'd probably need more information, but it's not at all important,) this process should give you a clean slate from which to start. Good luck!
Hi.
I have a G955U Galaxy S8+ AT&T Factory Unlocked on Android 7.0
Baseband Version: G955USQU1AQD9
Android Security Patch Level - April 1, 2017
I no longer live in the US, and currently in the Philippines. Phone works great and the signal is too and all, but I cannot get OTA updates.
Can I just download the firmware file in this thread and flash straight through ODIN, or do I need to follow another guide?
Thanks in advance
You can, however there are specific sequences to follow, so you have to update in firmware released order.
I encountered the same problem so I downloaded odin that worked for Nougat and loaded all version to BRB1 I think it is and then went to Oreo. Currently on CRC5.
Another note, when you are about to hit Oreo you will need to download the odin that works for Oreo. It can be found in the CRC5 thread.
Happy Updating

Is this really necessary?
I want to update to Oreo as well but since I'm AT&T unlocked and not currently using AT&T network I'm stuck in the June software update so I'll have to flash like 7-8 firmware updates and each one being about 2-3 GB to download.
Also, is there any stock Samsung firmware I can download so I can avoid having to manually flash every software update? Or am I just stuck with the AT&T firmware?
Thanks in advance.
I'm also having this problem. Need to flash the updates through ODIN but I can't find every single stock file leading up to BR9 on this site. Do I really have flash them all? Or is there another way?
How to downgrade a non-rooted S7 Edge from Android Oreo 8.0 to 7.0 and keeping your Knox 0x0!
So if some of you are looking for a 'how-to' guide, look no further! (I believe it works on your S7 too, but make sure you have downloaded the correct firmware)
*IMPORTANT*
-I don't take ANY responsibility if you bricked your device during the flash!
-Follow the guide below before flashing your official firmware using Odin!
On the phone
-Sign-out any accounts on settings
-Have OEM-unlock & USB Debugging ON (developer options)
-*optional task, just in case* Screenshot your device information on the settings tab (IMEI, Baseband, Software Info, Model number)
-*optional task, just in case* Backup your device using Samsung SmartSwitch software
Things to download
-For this guide I used Odin v3.13.1 https://dl.sammobile.com/Odin3-v3.13.1.zip
-You can install the Samsung driver using SmartSwitch if your Win PC can't detect your Samsung phone (it should show on Device Manager > Modem > something like Samsung Modem)
-*READ* You can't flash back to version 6.0 now because of (Android Oreo 8.0 is using different version of boot-loader) but there are some late Android 7.0 with updated boot-loader, those are using boot-loader binary v2, so binary v1 it will be conflicted and won't work upon flash.
-*NOTE* Download the correct firmware of your phone model by following the baseband, that's why I recommended to take screenshots of your phone, you can search it on here https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/, for mine, I've searched SM-G935F and BTU is my choice, the filtered results should be your correct firmware. But in my case I used (v7.0 in March 2018) because it has the binary boot-loader v2 with it (whatever it called, it's important otherwise it will not work which I've tried)
-*optional*, if you find sammobile download speed is way too slow* You can use https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=SM-G935F&exact=1&r=&v=Nougat%28Android+7.0%29%2COreo%28Android+8.0.0%29&rpp=100, and basically look for the correct firmware which I have mentioned above.
-Extract your firmware onto a single folder, don't mess them up! (you should see something like AP_G935blahblahblah.md5, and you will need AP_, BL_, CP_, CSC_ for downgrading)
Follow the steps:
1. Now you have the correct firmware and Odin running on Admin right
2. On Odin you can add AP_, BL_, CP_ & CSC_ onto the correct selection, for example: https://i.imgur.com/DIB2d1S.png
3. Have your phone on Download mode, google it if you don't know how (make sure you followed the On the phone step first, it's very important)
4. Find a data USB cable and plug into USB2.0 port, make sure your phone appeared on Odin (you will see something like 0:[COM5])
5. On Odin (only Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time) is needed, it should be ticked by default.
6. Now you can safely click 'Start' on Odin.
7. DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE in case your USB is loose which I had experience before.
8. Wait until it shows a green PASS! like this: https://i.imgur.com/FYosmx2.png
9. When see a blue screen with Erasing text on it, please wait until it reboot and hold (Volume UP + Home Button + Power Button) boot to recovery mode
10. Wipe cache partition, and data/factory reset then reboot system now
11. Wait for it to boot into your sweet sweet Android Nougat 7.0 (Late version)
12. Disable auto-update if you wish, mine was on auto-update so I had to pause it half-way
Hope you find this guide helpful, I tried to remember the steps on my head as I typed, (*sorry for the grammar if you find it hard to understand) and if you think I've missed something here, let me know! I would update the guide if any step is missing, just in case
Thanks
I'm guessing Knox counter wouldn't have incremented?

Hello dear!
I have a S7 edge SM-G935T and I tried to flash the last version of Nougat 7, but doesn't work. Odin don't let me finish the process. Maybe you wrote this thread before my cellphone received the last update of Oreo.
Do you have any solution in this case. I really appreciate it.
King regards, _/\_
Unfortunately the bootloader was updated in last updates, now the bootloader is version 3 as the phone said to me when i tried to flash the last version of Nougat.

Help with G930A
Hello um I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 on AT&T (G939A) and it's on 8.0 (G930AUCS9CSB1). I've tried to root it but after some research I've come to find out I have to downgrade it to nougat to root it. But the problem is everytime I load a firmware it fails and I did more research I think it said something about the bootloader blocking it and the only way to downgrade the bootloader is downgrading the firmware which I can't do because of that cycle. Can someone please help me all I want to do is root install a custom recovery and a custom rom I love playing around with android tweaks but I can't get it because of this. I hope someone can help me please and thank you.

Your bootloader cannot be unlocked due to it being Snapdragon, so unfortunately there is nothing you can do. Only Exynos variants can be modified.
Hello guys,I have a problem with my galaxy s7 sm-g935f(Exynos version).Few months ago I flashed my phone from android Nougat SEE CSC(South East Europe) to UK's Oreo BTU CSC.I'm curious is there any other way to downgrade it from oreo to nougat,otherwise than Odin.I tried flashing it a few times with the latest Odin version (3.13.3) and nougat SEE CSC(South East Europe) because that's my original CSC.Odin recognizes the device normally,but when i click start,it comes to setup connection and then FAIL.The reason I'm trying to downgrade is very poor battery life and heating,and the phone is very laggy.I even tried through Samsung Smart Switch Emergency software recovery but it seems that Samsung has restricted that option...please help if anyone has/had similar problem.Thank you!
Mine is Sprint g935pvpsbcta1
Am I screwed also?
Hi, I have
SM-G935Fand I can't find any nougat firmware with baseband of: G935FXXS8ETCA.. Can I flash any country / baseband 7.0 firmware? And will it improve the SOT? I'm currently getting upto 5 hours SOT.

I just wonder this solution will be work as well? my phone is s6 edge plus G928C.
And i want to downgrade to 5.1.1 or 6.0 because 7.0 was really terrible.
1.Download modded odin HERE.
If you don't know how to use Odin there are tons of tutorials. Just never use the userdata section unless you plan on starting fresh from the setup screen.
2.Download latest firmware for SM-G950u1 Or G955u1 for + models. Shouldn't be carrier specific though I used my carriers when doing so.
I got my firmware from https://updato.com
3.Flash the firmware using Odin.
4.Power on the phone and go to Google play
5.Download samsung+ and scroll down to join Samsung+ beta
6. After you update the Samsung+ app to the beta you should have a banner invite in the Samsung+ app to opt into the oneui beta,
7. After you opt in to OneUI go to software update and it should be ready for download
Side note, you can also flash the update file directly from an sd card for the latest pie beta if you want to skip the Samsung+ part. Just make sure you rename the latest beta firmware to update.zip and place it in the root folder of your sd card.
You need to be on U1 firmware as that's unlocked device firmware otherwise it will not work.
someone has the link with the beta update to load it with the sd?
Thanks for this update man, wish I could known this before I flashed the ZSAB firmware. Its working fine with me with the ZSAB firmware as Netflix is now working. I had to flash the sm-g950u1 firmware first.

Only issue I have run across is that bluetooth headphones will get disconnected from time to time and no super slow motion setting to change to multiple shots or manual
Is this guide for U.S. carrier locked S8+'s? Can I do this with my locked sprint s8+?
edit: now i'm getting some kind of "package expects build fingerprints of" so on and so on. I'm on CRL2 trying to install by Sd.
I'd the ZSAB to ZSAI update for snapdragon s8+ available yet?
This isn't working for me. Odin'ed CRL2 on my Sprint locked S8+ successfully, but i'm not able to flash the ZSAB firmware after that, through recovery or sideload. Getting a bunch of errors in recovery and in the end, ends up aborted. Welp
Is there an OTA update to go from SA4 to a One UI firmware? I have access to a Mac only, and Jdoin3 isn't able to get the PIT file from my G950U
the phone was initially on android Nougat 7.1.1, I updated it officially to android Oreo
after that, I flashed new STOCK ROM Oreo too, by Odin for the first time for this phone after unpacking and updating it from Nougat to Oreo
now I cannot flash anything by Odin TWRP, ROOT, STOCK ROM, COMBINATION FILE .... nothing pass
I can't even flash any other stock ROM beside the one i flashed before, either it's the same android version or not
odin always fail
I Waited 190 hours (more than 7 days) of continuous up time without restarting to have access and Remove FRP Lock but no luck at all, still the same

It looks like your trying to down grade to a version 3 and you can't do that.
Sorry wrong person.

I can't even flash any other stock ROM beside the one i flashed before, either it's the same android version or not

You can't flash twrp because your in prenormal state you have to wait 168 hour no reboots.
Are you trying to down grade to 7.1?
Samsung updated the binary from Nougat to oreo. Its impossible to downgrade. Its thr same with pie, you can downgrade to oreo for now as it still has the same binary on the latest security patch.

For that, the binary is 4 (after the FXXS)
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a8/SM-A530F/MWD/
As you can see, Samsung updated the binary on the latest security update for your region. Its impossible to downgrade to a previous OS due to having different binaries. You'll also find that even though it's oreo, the binary updated from the January security patch to February's. Probably to make way for android 9 One UI.
The only option is to flash oreo but with the February security patch

You can flash a different regions firmware as long as you download the right variation. (SM-A530F)
Sorry but I don't know much about rooting this phone though

Read post if you had read before you jump this would not have happened.
You can't flash twrp because your in prenormal state you have to wait 168 hour no reboots.
Are you trying to down grade to 7.1?
