I have an issue where I just purchased Samsung Galaxy S8 plus unlocked SM-G955U. There is a Verizon boot logo when it starts up, and the Verizon bloatware apps cannot be removed and the phone refuses to update to Android 8.0 or the current Samsung Experience software. I was hoping to flash the software to the G955U1 firmware.
I have installed Odin and tried everything. When I run the software it closes the window and my phone reboots with no change.
I am at a loss. I just want to update my phone and remove the HORRIBLE Verizon trash apps.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S III Verizon (model: SCH-I535) and its currently updated to its latest firmware, I was trying to downgrade/ root it but it wont work it keeps failing on Odin. My purpose was my main question, is it possible that I could flash a stock SGH T999 firmware on my phone? I would be really grateful if someone showed me a step by step process on how this could be done.
And recently I cant do anything with my phone but officially upgrade it. I think when i upgraded its firmware the security suddenly got tighter, can someone help me about this?
My plan was suppose to be (knowing that 4.3 and the latest firmware on my Verizon prevented me from doing anything): to downgrade to a lower firmware version, then flash the T-Mobile stock firmware.
I recently purchased a Sprint S5 and rooted with towel root so that I could remove the pre-installed bloatware that shipped with the device. After I rooted, I was blocked from receiving ota updates. Does anyone know where I can find an un-modified factory image for the sprint S5? My software version is G900PVPU1ANE5 and my hardware version is G900P.04... Samsung suggests that I update thru Kies but looking over google, i found out that samsung blocks updates thru kies for rooted users. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Look at Sammobile. They have all official images.
Just remove one by one root programs you installed and will go back to official status. In my case it was Titanium that tripped it. After uninstall, restart it was back to official.
Wouldn't it have been easier for you to just look in the correct forum?
This is the Sprint S5 thread.

Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 originally on EE and I had it unlocked to 3. I am unable to do an update as via WiFi and I am presented with the following message, "The operating system on your device has been modified in an unauthorised way. Try downloading software updates using Smart Switch on your PC or visit a customer service centre".
I have been told that the unlocking of the phone has resulted in me not being able to use smart switch and that the phone is no longer connected to the Samsung servers.
The build number is LRX22G.G920FXXU1AOCY
I am using Android 5.0.2. at the moment.
If you're rooted you get that message.
Best thing to do is download your current rom again, flash it with odin and that'll restore everything to stock and allow the over the air update to be downloaded. (It doesn't wipe your phone)
Alternately download the latest rom for your model and flash that in odin and it'll update it.
Not that there is no (easy) way to root 5.1.1 without tripping knox.
How do I know if my phone is rooted or not?
Are there any obvious signs that will indicate whether or not the phone is rooted?
If the phone is rooted, where can I find the correct rom for my device and what are the steps to carry out this process?
Hey guys, when the nougat was online, i flashed the btu version on my phone, i had some issues with it so i downgraded to MM but since then some apps such as: Samsung Members, Samsung Pay won't uninstall and the phone freezing alot and sometimes it gets extremly hot ( i can't even touch it ). and disabling app drawer option isn't availble anymore.
my question is how to get rid of these apps and restore my phone as i got it the first time ?
Flash Marshmallow again with ODIN, but use CSC instead of HOME_CSC, that will restore the phone to factory settings
Hey, I wanted to get rid of Verizon logo while booting and all apps connected with Verizon. I simply want to have clean android without any useless apps etc. I'd like to have Polish lang also if possible.
What should I do?
