Last year's S7/S7edge had a different model number for each carrier (G935A/T/V/P/R4), but this year they all seem to be using the 955U model with different CSCs for each carrier.
I noticed on SamMobile there's an unbranded firmware available for the G955U with the XAS CSC, what CSC is that? Generic?
The reason I ask this is that because these US variant phones get imported to Pakistan and some people buy them since they're cheaper than the officially sold G955F models here, so if a G955U gets imported here which for example was previously used on T-Mobile in the USA, if one flashes the XAS ROM, will it basically be an unbranded Snapdragon 835 S8+ or is removing the carriers CSC not possible?
All replies will be appreciated.
Cheers

The U version is locked and not able to root. It's used by all USA carriers and they probably made it locked down due to Samsung pay. At some point a root crack will surface but it probably won't be stable

I don't need root though.
Just the possibility of flashing an unbranded ROM with no bloat, something that won't be used with US carriers.

You cannot flash firmware without rooting on this device. That's my point. When you try flashing in Odin, nothing happens. That's why you cannot root or even flash things. Got it? You need root in this case.
I think we are after the same thing; xas is sprint from my understanding. xaa should be the "unlocked" carrier neutral you are looking for. There is a thread in the s8 forum where some people had success flashing parts of the Canadian firmware then refreshing parts of us firmware they had quasi obtained this but I have yet to try
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/rd-carrier-switch-root-snapdragon-t3597473
I read somewhere that only G955f models can change CSC firmware using Odin.
G955U models won't be able to... I could be wrong...
Then again, we won't really know until someone buys the U model and tries it out for themselves.

What did you find out?
What did you find out? I'll try it with mine but I need help. I am by no means a schooled veteran in the world of command lines and tech talk but I can follow direction. I've managed to unbrick a couple LGLS 675 and bypass frp (for myself) a couple hundred times. I'll post a screen shot of my about phone if you guys are interested.

im using a 955f (so could be different on your phone), but just turn the phone around, on mine the S/N stands printed on the bottom of the backside, you can slightly see it ->here<-
and also I'm really not sure about that, but i believe some Serial/IMEI/whatever-numbers do stand in download mode
EDIT: By what i've found google'in, on the 955U, just the IMEI is printed. Sorry

こんばんは!
Unfortunately the SC-03J has a Snapdragon chipset which isn't currently rootable
Exynos variants are the only ones you'll be able to root.

Half correct. I dont know about the Japanese version, but HK/China Snapdragons are likely to get rooted at some point.
What's for sure is Samsung locks the bootloader of its Snapdragon S8 in the US and Canada. So indeed these variants most likely wont ever be rooted.

Japanese phones are usually heavily locked down. I remember 2-3 years ago there was a lock on top of a locked bootloader, on top of an 'unrootable' ROM/device called a 'Miyabi' lock - 3 locks. Not too sure if things have changed.

I have a galaxy s8+ through xfinity like that title says and would like to unroot because of some issues but was wandering which stock firmware to download. I believe xfinity works through verizon towers so should I use verizons stock firmware? Its a G955U by the way.
Also seen this https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/carrier-switch-snapdragon-t3615680
Perhaps that would be best not sure thanks for any input and help.

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8-plus/SM-G955U/CCT/download/G955USQS2BQL1/201162/
Any firmware that has a CCT in it somewhere is for Xfinity This is one of the newest updates so this is a version 2 bootloader so If you decide to root again you have to root with PC rom V2 bootloader

Thank you so much cheers man
Would it be possible to flash an SM-N970U US model phone snapdragon version with an international, Chinese, or other version firmware to get root and then overlay it with English fonts etc... just looking for a workaround for root?
That may work. But I wouldn't risk it. As some of the modem drivers maybe different
Would that really maybe work? I feel like someone would have thought of that already. But man, it's tempting to try.

Unfortunately the two models do not share the same CPU... So it would absolutely brick your phone.
Thanks for the feedback guys....nothing ventured nothing gained

Every site I checked said the sm-n9700 has the snapdragon 855, which is the same as the sm-970u and u1 have.

It would be nice if you provided a source for your claim, since I did so. For example, you could say: "I own the n9700, and it is exynos", or "I'm there engineer that designed the note 10, and the n9700 is exynos"
Someone who has the n9700 could check with cpu-z and settle this dispute.

But I think that site says sm-n9700 is snapdragon.
The Hong Kong Note 10 is a Snapdragon, one of the few international variants with bootloader unlock and snapdragon. Not sure if it would work, otherwise people would do it. Good luck if you try, but be careful.
I have n9700 and its Snapdragon

Yes but if it's the US model you need a paid unlock service first. If it's exynos then you don't. I had my N986U1 unlocked here.
