I did this trying to go from a Verizon to Unlocked. Also, tried going to T-Mobile. I left off User Data on the unlocked variant, but nothing changed even though it showed successful. Any help?!
I am having to drive to a friend's to do this on a Windows computer because I can't figure it out on my Mac. $10 if anyone can simplify how to do it on a Mac. I'm use to using ADB, not Odin.

Why didn't you flash Userdata? Thats what contains the carrier bloat. Flash the U1 userdata and see if that works.
Tried that too

Those of us on the Verizon network with the old unlimited data plan can't tether without paying an extra $30 a month. If we can successfully load the unlocked firmware on the Verizon variant we can bypass the tether subscription.....

It was already unlocked but the dude that did it was kinda sloppy. It seemed to have quite a lot of compatibility issues. Original carrier info was listed under the settings. All seems great now.

Just got my S9+ from Samsung (won in a contest via their Twitter) anyhow...they asked which device I wanted, I said Unlocked model, they sent a Tmobile variant, and it is unlocked as I am using it another carrier sim... I carrier switched 2 different S8+ last year and I don't find myself on here much anymore, other than to answer emails and help people fix their stuff.... Just wondering if I can still just flash the XAA or the XAR version firmware files via patched Odin and all will be well.
The tmobile variant isn't really bloated perse, but it does have a couple tmobile apps that I would prefer to get rid of and I'd prefer to have it on U1 firmware, are there any issues to do it currently?
One other question... What's the difference between the XAA and XAR firmware? I've used the XAA in the past for the s8+ g55u1 but this phone has both firmware files and I can't figure out where there is both, as to my knowledge both are unlocked firmware files.
Thanks

Have you updated your phone yet? The Unlocked is still stuck on February Patch and hasn't been updated whereas T-Mobile already pushed the June update out IIRC and you won't be able to flash it.
Honestly, keep the T-Mo variant as even the Unlocked Model comes with bloat like Facebook.

It's not using a tmobile sim so that's probably why it hasn't updated..... so it's still on the feb 25 kernel, build is still the 1ARBG firmware.
I just don't like the lack of mobile data toggle and I want to get rid of the tmobile bloat.
Ah gotcha, you should be good to flash using the Patched Odin then.

Stupid question. So I did the firmware flash, originally had the 965u. So now when we are finally able to root(if ever) do I have to look for roms(or any other hacks) for the 965u or the 965u1 since that's what I flashed? Also I received the June update the other day. Hopefully that doesn't screw anything up for me.

Will I be able to unbrick it through ODIN if something goes wrong? I want to do Dual SIM to Single SIM conversion just for the sake of quick updates.
I'm not sure how different the international S7 variants are from each other. But here in the US they are all the same except for the software so I heard. I got a Sprint S7 to which I wanted to use on T-mobile. So I flashed Tmobile's firmware on my sprint variant and turn out great, have wifi calling and everything is working great.
So it couldn't hurt to try it if you know what you're doing and like you said, worse is just odin back to your stock firmware.

I don't know what I may have done differently, but did exactly what you did and I have everything working. Flashed AT&T rb7/rbg and user data over stock u1 firmware after factory reset. Volte/wifi calling, lte during phone calls and video calling work for me. I'm att/att/xaa, knox wasn't tripped.
The only thing I have as a complaint is it doesn't fetch ota's. So I have been reseting and Odin-ing updates as they roll out.

Hope you do not mind me asking but I am new to Galaxy devices. Nexus/Pixel was always my choice but after having a bug filled Pixel XL 2 I decided to give the S9+ a shot. Not familiar with how the firmware for them work so I thought to ask you since you look to be very helpful in this thread.
I have T-Mobile S9+ which was updated to latest March 1 security update. I would like to flash it to the unlocked firmware. Is this https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=182E00202C6211E89F15FA163EE8F90B the same unlock firmware you posted?
Would I be able to use WiFi Calling, HD Calling and all other features on T-Mobile with the unlocked firmware?
Thanks for the help!

I would be very careful in attempting to load another regions firmware on your Canadian variant. There have be some users who have reported ending up with a bricked device attempting this sort of update. While you can find stock Odin files for our devices, it's still on the v1 bootloader. Not worth the pain...

Let me know if you successfully flash on your device then I'll do it as I'm from Bell mobility
I got the downloads to go through. Will report once flashing is complete. Not sure which firmware will be on the phone when it arrives (att variant) but I'm gonna be flashing u1 then newest rc6 TMobile firmware. Hoping to have full features working as if originally a TMobile variant.
On a side note (mods please excuse) but Samsung. Com has the att variant on sale $639 ($200 off) and since I'm trading in my old s7 I'm getting an additional $200 off so $439 ($466 after tax) for a brand new s9+! Once i flash the TMobile firmware I'll be happy and for $400 off!
Anyone know if i need to sim unlock before flashing this? I've read about having to flash the unlocked rom before flashing the T-Mobile Rom and that's my other question. Can i just flash this tmobile firmware to the phone fresh out of the box or do i need to go to unlocked first (doesn't seem right) and put my TMobile sim in and be good?
My thoughts were that i could just sim unlock thorough a 3rd party then Odin the TMobile firmware and be done. Thanks

My thoughts were that i could just sim unlock thorough a 3rd party then Odin the TMobile firmware and be done. Thanks

You have to unlock your device first, before flashing any other firmware besides your carrier firmware. Flashing unlock firmware, will not unlock your device.

SIM unlock has nothing to do with firmware/rom flashing. You can flash to any U/U1 firmware you want and your device will still be in the same carrier lock/unlock state it was before.
T-Mobile does do things a little differently, however. Flashing a different firmware won't SIM unlock your phone, but I do believe you need to be on a legitimate T-Mobile firmware to unlock the device via their built in unlocking app.
Awesome thanks guys. Will just get a 3rd party unlock service then flash.
If you got it from [email protected] they will unlock it free of charge. And if you didn't I would still try with them first before paying
Will use it to update my converted s9 plus from att to tmobile firmware.
I tried to search for updates in the menu but it says phone is already up to date. But version is RBG.
Latest one is ARC6

Did either of you do it yet? I'm in the same boat, just got my AT&T that I want to use on T-Mobile. I'm debating if I should flash unlocked or T-Mobile, and now the option of this new bootloader?

Im just waiting for Rogers in Canada to push out their latest update, which they say is now available, and its not. I want to see if they have updated from U1 to U2 before taking the plunge with this firmware.
What's the benefit to having T-Mobile f/w over unlocked? Or what's better about having unlocked? I'll be using it only on T-Mobile.
A friend brought me an S8-G950U Snapdragon version and I do not have the ability to get an att chip to update de firmware because I live in Argentina. I´m on G950USQUAQGL (August 1, 2017) and de software provider says ATT/ATT/ATT. Is there any way to update the firmware including Oreo?
I'm sorry but the more I read the more I get confused.

I don't see any ATT ROMs for the S8 SM-G950U listed in SamMobile. However, I do see ATT ROMs under SM-G950U1. But isn't the U1 the unlocked USA version of the S8?

Did you even find any ROMS for the S8 SM-G950U? I'm having the same issue with not seeing any AT&T options on SamMobile.
I'm facing same problem too. ATT does not release its stock firmwares quite often. However find below May,2018 patch wity Oreo. Waiting for such stock firmware for Pie.

Hi guys you can flash any firmware G950U from Sam mobile it work because these are multi csc.
Tested in my unlocked s8 G950U.
Sam Mobile seems to have disabled their free download option (possibly in maintenance). Anyone has a link the latest Pie stock with July 1 patch level (AT&T) and can share please?
I think the OP (and myself) looking for this one - https://www.att.com/devicehowto/tut...59?make=Samsung&model=SamsungG955U&gsi=x6lhdu
