[Help] SM-G955U ATT (Unlocked) - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hi guys, i've been a guest for many years and always i was able to accomplish what i wanted thanks to all the good tutorials and the ROMs that you make and everything, thanks. But, today i'm out of luck and i hope that any of you can help me.
My Galaxy S8+ was on AT&T and i had to change carrier so i unlocked the phone. Right now i'm under MetroPCS but i find that i dont get more updates. I started to search how to get them and got in some threads were i learned to install stock ROMs with ADB but still without success. Actually, my phone right now is with an older version of software.
The android security patch that i had was from July, i have March 1, 2017.
I found the (supposed) OTA files but when i try to install i get error in the installation.
Someone can tell me the right way to make the firmware upgrade?
Android version 7.0 / Samsung experience version 8.1 / Android security patch level March 1, 2017 / Baseband Version G955USQU1AQC9.

I feel like c9 was a mistake or base FW i Also Have A Att S8+ Unlocked i remmember that when i bout it it updated just cant remmember to what but i Flashed The G955u DE Fw and it updates no problem

Yes, this was the solution. I had to pay for a new AT&T prepaid simcard ($10 usd), activate the device online and then change the date a couple of times until i get the August update. Thank you.

[Q] How to Update Firmware After Root?

I am about to take the plunge and root the LG G3. It's been a couple weeks and I don't see any hardware faults so I would like to root and then debloat.
I can find some debloating threads here, but my main question was. . .how will I need to update after I have rooted the device
Say, I root today and then tomorrow AT&T releases an update for my device. Since I have rooted, I can't take the OTA update. But, is there a place that LG posts those updates? Can I download an update somewhere and and manually update with a specific windows application?
Or, will my updates only come in the form of ROMs after I have rooted?
Until devs can test if an update patches an existing exploit I would avoid carrier and manufacturer updates.

but when they happen, how do you update to them. i assume it's with lg pc suite?
is there an LG hosted website for the latest firmwares? or do I get them from third party hosting sites by people and hope there isn't any malware in them?
the update may not be able to be rooted so if root is important you don't want to update.
root update
if u want..what you could do is unroot .update and reroot ...another aulternative is using rootkeep ..i used it for g2 and it worked perfectly

What you would do is wait for a dev to post the stock rooted version of the OTA and flash via recovery.

I'd actually stay away from that method if at all possible. If you try that method and it doesn't work you're boned and could possibly soft brick the device.
Not really

Hence the word possibly. There's a chance of it and I was just informing the OP. He had a concerns about it. If you pick any q & a thread for any device on here you're almost guaranteed to find someone that attempted to OTA and had issues with some soft bricks. Its good you haven't had problems though.

Does anyone have a download for the official marshmallow ROM?

I've been waiting for over a year for Alcatel to release it OTA in my country but i'm guessing it ain't happening at this point...So I'll just install it manually. But I can't really find the official ROM uploaded anywhere, so I was wondering if any of you have it.
My phone isn't rooted but I imagine I can apply the update without rooting directly from storage, right? After all, it is the official ROM.
Have other Alcatel owners received the OTA update to MM in your country? Have you tried upgrading with the Alcatel upgrade program?

I don't believe anyone else has, but I'm not sure, I don't know anyone personally who has the phone besides me.
I haven't tried the desktop app (if that's what you mean), because I was under the impression that it would only restore my phone to it's default state...Besides I have had troubles in the past trying to get Alcatel's PC suite software to work.
If you use the desktop software, it should upgrade you to the latest ROM.
If the MM ROM has not been released for your phone's country and model #, there will be no official MM ROM for your phone and you will have to flash a MM ROM from another model or country.

So, the desktop software will still only upgrade me if there is an official ROM out for my country?
Yes, mobile upgrade will take the phone to the latest android version for your model and country.

If the phone doesn't get upgraded to mm via Alcatel upgrade software, there is no official mm for the phone/country.

I flashed Lineage 14.1 on my Idol 3 (6045B), and it worked right, but its not detecting my simcard, and it doesn't show an IMEI.

Hey all - I'm rooted and unlocked and for the past two weeks or so my phone has been bugging me to upgrade about every hour or so. I'm on NPJ25.93-14-4 and the new version it wants me to install is NPJ25.93-14.5. Am I OK to take the OTA update? Or should I do it a different way since I'm rooted and unlocked?
MANY thanks, all!

You can't make this ota update since you have a non stock recovery. You need to revert back to stock recovery else the device goes into bootloop. What's your device version XT....?
Gotcha - I wondered as much. Mine is an XT1644 - is there a way for me to get the update so the dumb thing will quit asking me to upgrade? Maybe the June update thread?
Really appreciate it!

Yup, you'll have to reflash/boot TWRP, then flash ElementalX 1.04, then flash SuperSU/magisk/your root manager of choice to get your root access back. You may wish to take a TWRP backup before you flash ElementalX/root to have a backup to fall back to.
Anyone get the September update on the XT1625 Amazon version?

Hi MannySV, I was chatting with the AT&T Advanced Mobile Team. They told me that they are currently halted the Android 8.0 due to some bugs. The new update will be pushed out within 24 hours. My phone didn't receive the previous update, so fingers crossed. I hope this helps!

You are behind a couple of updates. For some reason mine wouldn't find updates either, heres how i fixed it. Go to https://www.att.com/devicehowto/tut...tep_KM1203359?make=Samsung&model=SamsungG955U and find which update you are on, and figure out which comes next, you have to do them in order. Then go to https://samsung.firmware.science and select your model, baseband and the baseband you need to update to, which you can find on the att site. Then just flash via recovery and adb. Beware however, that it erases everything off your phone.

T-Mobile OnePlus 8 Conversion to Unlocked Firmware

So I've successfully unlocked the bootloader of my T-Mobile OnePlus 8, and I was wondering if there was any way to convert it to the Global OxygenOS firmware? And if something goes wrong, is there any way to flash back to the T-Mobile firmware? I haven't been able to find any threads relating to this subject.

Well you can always use MSM tool to go back to stock, and as far as converting, you'll find out soon ??

You've most likely been scammed. There is a thread over in the Guides section on how to convert the T-Mobile OP8 to the global firmware but it's still a work in progress. Right now it requires the bootloader to be unlocked and the use of the MSM tool to downgrade the stock firmware first. I don't believe there's a way to do that remotely just from the IMEI.
Please be careful sharing information about your device online, and check your sources ?

Wow thanks for the advice, I'll just take the 50 as a loss then
If you gave someone your IMEI number you have lost more than $50. You've probably lost your phone.

Did you seriously, really, share your IMEI with someone you didn't know?
Better exchange your phone now cause I wouldn't even touch that thing after that.
Call TMobile and make up a story about it not turning on or something. Or kill it via root and say it won't boot up

I agree. You should send the phone back to tmo and request a new one. That way you don't have to worry about anything. That would be the best way and don't let anyone get that personal info from you again. I just rooted last week and coverted to global firmware this weekend. I've had the phone since may 2020. I read these threads over and over each day and didn't make a move until I was sure I had things down. Take your time and read, read, read. Happy modding!
Please message me the link to properly convert my T-Mobile OnePlus 8. I already have it sim unlocked though XDA over a month ago. Please include all the correct methods & do not put the things that brick the device, but more of what did successfully work. I've read tons of pages of the conversion & most of them have different things where some say don't do that or not necessary.
How to properly unlock bootloader & download correct MSM DOWNLOAD TOOL software.
Thank you.

Nobody is going to spoon feed you like that. Just go to the official thread and do it yourself. It's not that hard, but backup persist.img before you so anything

Where did you get your info to install the international stock? I've been all over xda and all they have on here is just installing the oxygen OS on the 7t and below.. Is the process the same? Can I use the drivers and msm tool for the OnePlus 7?

Did you seriously, really, share your IMEI with someone you didn't know?
Better exchange your phone now cause I wouldn't even touch that thing after that.
Call TMobile and make up a story about it not turning on or something. Or kill it via root and say it won't boot up

Look for the ROM for fastboot install in questions and answers. You have to read a few different threads to make sure you use the right thing. Once you use the MSM took it gives you more confidence since you can just revert back to 10.5.7 TMO anytime your want. Happy modding!
I'm waiting on my bootloader unlock code in order to do this on my T-mobile Oneplus 8. I've rooted phones in the past, but honestly it's been a few years. I have read a bunch of posts, but the info is pretty vague.
Is this still the correct way to go to international? https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8/how-to/guide-convert-to-global-t4105885
If I root, will I lose anything? (Google Pay, bank apps, etc...)
Are there any lingering issues I should know about?
The MSM Tool allows an easy way to go back to stock?
Will it be safe to update to new firmware as they come out? Or is there a process for this?
Sorry for sounding like a new newb, just can't seem to find all these answers easily. I think the last phone I rooted was an LG G4 when it came out lol.

Yeah I was the same way so keys help you out here.
That's a good link to follow.
You may lost the ability to access banking apps if you root
MSM Tool if awesome and gets you back to 10.5.7.IN55CB stock everything.
I had no problems updating international 10.5.10 to 10.5.11. I'm TMO rooted running international version. Happy modding!

So I've successfully unlocked the bootloader of my T-Mobile OnePlus 8, and I was wondering if there was any way to convert it to the Global OxygenOS firmware? And if something goes wrong, is there any way to flash back to the T-Mobile firmware? I haven't been able to find any threads relating to this subject.
