I'm on GL and when I check Smart Switch it says I'm up to date, but I know there is a JC update out there for my phone. So should I be able to get JC through Smart Switch?

why don't you flash Cricket firmware on your phone from here. :

Then you should receive updates all the time.

Thats cool, I didn't realize that Cricket had their own firmware for the S8+.
Is Cricket slow to update?
It looks like G955U1UEU1AQH3 is still on the August security patch.

Do I need to flash all 5 files that are in the zip? And if so which CSC file do I flash first? Will odin 3.12 work?
I cannot even do a backup with Smart Switch with my AT&T S8+ I could on my S7. Do not know what is going On???

Best Buy sells an unlocked version of the G920T - http://goo.gl/bk4ukE
It's not T-Mobile. It's unlocked and has no carrier bloat - just the usual Samsung stuff. It shows "4G" for LTE. (Edit: Correction - after the OTA referenced below, it shows H+ and LTE)
It came with 5.1.1 out of the box, build ending in COG3.
It had a 272mb software update immediately available that took it up to the build ending in COK1 and added the Android Security Patch Level line showing 2015-11-01.
Just curious how this model fits into the other unlocked models (f, i, etc.). Did Samsung simply take the T-Mobile model and sell a variant unlocked with no T-Mobile influence?
Sorry to bump this but I'm seeing a few more of these in the wild now and trying to figure it out. It's gotta have the same internals as the T-Mobile variant since the model number is the same, I'm assuming anyway? The full model is SM-G920TZKAX, but the packaging and phone just shorten it to T. The T-Mobile model is SM-G920TZDATMB. I guess knowing what the letters after G920T mean would be helpful.
From what I've read it appears to be a unlocked version of the T-Mobile variant. Can't find much information about it.
I purchased the unlocked version from Best Buy yesterday for $450. Rooted it and could not be happier.

What method did you use? I'm concerned about doing any mods due to not having the right software to flash back to (which we don't have right?).
I used the follow root method:

As for going back to stock, you can always use smart switch, or ODIN back to stock rom.

I just bought this yesterday as an open box for $380. I was worried that is wouldn't have LTE band 17 for AT&T as the normal 920T is listed as missing this band. The Best Buy version does have band 17 and I'm connected on it now. Very happy with the phone so far.

you can also see the specs for the phone on Samsung's website. http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SM-G920TZKAXAR
4G FDD LTE: B1(2100), B2(1900),B3(1800),B4 (AWS),B5(850),B7(2600),B12(700),B17(700),B20(800)
Firmware?
Love the phone with no carrier bloatware, would have preferred 64GB but I can make due. I would like to root it but not without having factory firmware to fall back on. Even though it's a 920T it's has no T-Mobile apps so I'm pretty sure I can't load a T-Mobile ROM on it. If anyone runs across formware for a SM-G920TZKAXAR PLEASE let us know. TIA
Does this work with Samsung Pay?
Has anyone tried getting this to work with Samsung Pay? I saw on a Slickdeals thread that it will not work ... would love confirmation.
Also, and I know this is a very, very slight chance anyone will know this, but -- will this work with my old, granfathered T-Zones data plan?

Yes. You can load T-Mobile firmware onto it. You just get all the TMobile extra stuff. Thats the same "unlocked" model sold by Rent A Center.

Currently this variant is awaiting official upgrade, most nougat roms are not going to work fully as call audio is broken, you may need to wait till official update is released to have all functions.
hey all,
so I read somewhere that Sony had pulled back the Nougat updated for some of their devices as Samsung has done. I've been checking for it every day but it hasn't come out and it's getting a bit annoying now but if it's been pulled back it would explain a lot.
I'm on an unlocked S7 and haven't received anything. I wanna avoid flashing another firmware as I can't be bothered to be putting all my stuff back on after and would like - for once - to follow the official route and wait but it's not getting annoying

In my experience, AT&T will be the last US carrier to upgrade. Just use Frija and get the latest built from another US carrier, like TMB for example.
