I had a bit of trouble installing Pie on my device. Since I have AT&T and AT&T devices do not get beta updates (the betas are internally tested by AT&T staff), I had to flash an unlocked U1 firmware to get the update. When I flashed the newest firmware for U1 using the modded Odin by Raymond, my phone legitimately bootlooped on the Samsung start-up screen. I, then, wiped the cache, /data and mounted the /system directory, and rebooted the phone. Voila! I was on Android 8.0.0 for U1, and then I signed up for the beta program through Samsung+ (I had to sideload the newest beta version of Samsung+). Within 20 mins, I manually checked the software updates and Pie was ready. And everything went smoothly after that.
Some steps to flash U1 Firmware
- Use Modded Odin
- Get correct firmware with the same or newer bootloader for your device
- Try updating the firmware using an OTA.zip file from SD Card or through adb sideload
Best of luck to all AT&T customers rearing to get Pie.
Hey there, also on an AT&T S9+ locked device. Currently on BRJ5. Am I correct in reading that we have no choice but to wipe data to update?

Yes. You have 2 options.
1. Flash to U1. That requires a wipe. Sign up for beta.
2. Side load the builds. You'll need to be on ARIB. You can Odin to ARIB or in my case, I Odin to ARI6, and sideload to ARIB, then sideload to K9 build.
ATT causes a wipe every time you side load. So if you stay on the U firmware, every time a new beta is out, you get wiped. If you swap to the U firmware, the Beta will do an Ota, which does NOT wipe.
If you don't care about video calling, wifi calling or Volte (not 100% on that one), go to the U1 firmware and hope the beta isn't full.
We need an AT&T employee to drop the files up in here...
Perfect on my ATT s9+
i got the latest security update via OTA and an now running the G930UUEU9CSA3 firmware, ive tried flashing the eng boot img i originally used to root from here "https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-s7-s7edge-oreo-nougat-t3819616" but odin fails every time, i'm pretty sure its because the new security update updated the bootloader also... to version 9. now i guess my question is are there any eng boot files for the v9 bootloader available yet? or any other usable root methods available?

That wasn't very clever was it.
Should never update branded unless it's to fix a major bug. Any loophole which allows root or flash is closed on an update until someone figures out how to root on the new boot loader.
I think the best advice to anyone on US networks is to flash unbranded and go from there.

Get magisk.zip from internet , move to a sdcard insert sdcart to s7, Flash twrp for s7 then format data then click install magisk.zip reboot after finish and done.

I'm fairly certain that the only twrp for the s7 is a temporary one because there is no unlock for the bootloader, and even still the temp twrp is only compatible with the v4 bootloader and I am currently on v9.... that is unless I'm mistaken if I am then please someone correct me and point me in the right direction because I'd love to be running magisk on my s7 : )

Yes I'm using the modified Odin and all my previous attempts at flashing the eng boot files via Odin on the v8 bootloader have been successful, it wasn't until after the OTA that I started having issues.
And yes this is Qualcomm : )

Hmmm so it may be that loophole is now closed, what you need to think about is if you deffo need root? Or is it just nice to have. I'm sure a dev will get round it soon.

Okay I was completely unaware of TWRP being an option or the possibility of Magisk with a locked bootloader, now to clarify I'm running the latest unbranded US Region firmware for the US T-Mobile version of the Qualcomm Galaxy S7 "(TMB) G930UUEU9CSA3" that being said I have a few questions about how to specifically to proceed if you don't mind helping me?
First is the version of Odin available from the post provided above inst the modified version I've been required to use for all my previous flashing "Odin3_v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD" should I use this one or the version provided in the post above "Odin3_v3.13.1"?
My next question is that all the different versions and variants of TWRP available for my device the Galaxy S7 and the S7 Edge are either for Exynos Canada/International or Korea or the Chinese Qualcomm variant of each. Should I download and use the TWRP for the Chinese Qualcomm S7?
The sammobile link in the original post for "Android 8.0 Oreo Stock Rom" provides me with a list of the latest and up to date international versions of firmware for the Galaxy S7 Edge "SM-G935FD" I'm assuming I should just use the stock firmware image for my device "SM-G930U" instead?
The link for the no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0 is dead but I don't think its needed because of something someone said in the original post about this method failing after latest security update "the one I'm on" https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78115895&postcount=18 he said he solved it easily with information and another flash able zip from this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77000849&postcount=47 and the zip from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76564735&postcount=37
All that being said I haven't attempted anything yet, I'll try the above method as I understand it later this evening and I'll post my results

Hello there, i deleted most of your post because i didn't want my post to be huge. So if i just give you some guidelines hopefully you can have a look around for the files you need.
1. For Qualcomm / snapdragon devices you must always use the patched version of Odin you already have. Now this version of Odin can be dangerous if you don't flash the correct firmware for your device because it ignores device mismatch and other safety measures the normal Odin checks for before flashing. Which brings me to.....
2. Anything for G935 will not work for G930 including TWRP, you must always use firmware, patches twrp which specifically says it for G930 Qualcomm/snapdragon devices.
3. The China/ Korea Qualcomm/snapdragon devices are exactly the same as the US devices, anything working on the China / Korea devices will work on the US device.
Now i know you want to root unbranded on V9 but as you are on the T Mobile network it may be easier to flash and root T Mobile Oreo for the time being until there is a workaround root for V9 unbranded.
All of the threads you linked to were for G935 devices and i've mentioned you can't use those patches BUT the process and step by step instructions you follow are the same for your device. So you can follow those guides as long as you are using the patches for your device.
There is a Snapdragon section on this forum so thats a good place to look.
I've had a quick look for this specific firmware and can't find anything about rooting the U9 version yet.....
I'm just checking this firmware G930UUEU9CSA3 your running did have either XAA or USC code next to it when you downloaded? I've noticed Verizon, AT&T and Sprint are using the same firmware VZN, ATT, XAS.

I'd be interested to know how this turned out if the device with V9 bootloader could be rooted with temp TWRP method.
Can i actually flash magisk on my 930u?
Is there any way to root my g930t ?
I'm on v9 bootloader, and i don't care about knox tripping.
Did developpers really failed to break the security of this little old device ? Or no one worked it ?

Would this info be applicable to edge models as well? Pretty sure our moderator has moved on as he is disgusted with samsungs persistance in blocking root with new bl versions. Im on an unlocked tmo s7 edge with the u firmware as well.

Yes by using 1st and #1623 post number it can be rooted easily. I already have done that on both G930P and G930U.
the phone was initially on android Nougat 7.1.1, I updated it officially to android Oreo
after that, I flashed new STOCK ROM Oreo too, by Odin for the first time for this phone after unpacking and updating it from Nougat to Oreo
now I cannot flash anything by Odin TWRP, ROOT, STOCK ROM, COMBINATION FILE .... nothing pass
I can't even flash any other stock ROM beside the one i flashed before, either it's the same android version or not
odin always fail
I Waited 190 hours (more than 7 days) of continuous up time without restarting to have access and Remove FRP Lock but no luck at all, still the same

You can't flash twrp because your in prenormal state you have to wait 168 hour no reboots.
Are you trying to down grade to 7.1?
Samsung updated the binary from Nougat to oreo. Its impossible to downgrade. Its thr same with pie, you can downgrade to oreo for now as it still has the same binary on the latest security patch.

For that, the binary is 4 (after the FXXS)
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a8/SM-A530F/MWD/
As you can see, Samsung updated the binary on the latest security update for your region. Its impossible to downgrade to a previous OS due to having different binaries. You'll also find that even though it's oreo, the binary updated from the January security patch to February's. Probably to make way for android 9 One UI.
The only option is to flash oreo but with the February security patch

Essentially I'm in a pickle and I'm currently running OneUI 5.0 beta 1 on my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra ATT locked device (SM-S908U) and I sideloaded the .bin for the official SMS908U beta build and it flashed and wiped everything and works fine. Except ONEUI 5 stable is coming out soon and I have tried Odin flashing several builds of Android 12 OneUI 4.1, I have tried Samsung Smart Switch emergency initialization (which doesn't show my device after failing to post the update), I went to Samsung Members but it says something about changed country info or not being in the Beta, but once I go to the open card to actually enroll for the beta, it says I'm already on it because it thinks since I have it at all its legit but it doesn't talk to the same exact framework of the app to find out if I need to officially enroll still. Either way I cannot opt out via Members either, I am fairly stuck. Any advice ?
*I do not have any backups from Android 12 stable.
You tried flashing official firmware for U device right? You were using CSC file or HOME_CSC to preserve data?
Going back from beta to stable means wiping data, phone will factory reset when you flash back the stable firmware and you should use the CSC file (not HOME_CSC)
Yeah... I know how to operate Odin3... It literally says right there I tried flashing multiple stable builds and each time it fails with AUTH error. Tried HOME and regular CSC....
I have the same phone. I have not gone back to stock U firmware from beta. But I have gone from beta to stock U1 firmware. I believe once you go back to stock U1 Android 12. You can flash back with Odin not patched to U firmware.

Z flip 4 is supposed to get OneUI 5.0 with A13 in November, but it just received the November security patch without A13. Do you think that A13 will get delayed for our phone?
I read here that beta 2 was released recently. Usually they will issue beta 3 before it will be final. So yes, I can see the A13 can be delayed till December.
But that's no biggie really. Not that much changed from A12 to A13 anyway.
Beta 4 ZVK3 is under testing at the moment
I am still stuck in beta 1 ZVK9. I manually load this one, after that, keep looking for beta 2, 3 and 4 now. No luck. For those if you are still in A12, maybe be patient. Google Pay won't work in beta software, I don't see other issues.

Oh, good to know.
I guess my part regarding delay is irrelevant then.
What about performance? Any significant variances against A12? How's the battery life?

No massive changes, but does seem snappier. Ram Memory management is improved over A11 in my opinion.
Battery life for me is exactly the same.
Has anyone managed to get the firmware file or the fetch the ota update file, for the US model, for the stable release yet?
I too, curiously any one (service/model) combination in US get official A13 update?
I have F721U1 directly purchased from samsung.com. I am with US mobile service (VZW MVNO). I manually apply A13 beta 1. Phone runs fine and does not hit any issues as I am aware in my usage pattern.
However, Gpay won't work with beta SW. Keep googling without any luck for official download Link. Tired for read all different web site post update screen and news announcement. None of them has download link.
Missed previous Pixel phones, Google post Full and OTA as soon as they announce update news. I can always download and apply myself.
Maybe a couple days more.....

The Z Flip 4 and fold 4 got the update a few hours ago in Korea, so hopefully it should be coming for the US models very soon.
You may have to end up flashing the SM-F721U firmware instead of the SM-F721U1 firmware, as the U firmware typically becomes available before the U1 firmware, if I remember correctly. In order to flash the U firmware over the U1 firmware, you need to use a patched version of Odin, here's the link for that - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/patched-odin-3-13-1.3762572/ and make sure to download the file named "Odin3 v3.14.1_3B. The process of flashing is identical to normal Odin, and if you want to keep your data make sure to flash the HOME_CSC and not the standard CSC file
Thank you. I will try it when I find download link.

I knew that u1 is the Google Fi version. But what exactly is the software different between the two? You can use non fi sim card on an u1.
Flashed One UI 5 yesterday. From the SM-F721B EUX to SM-F721B SRI, dirty flash.
Worked fine, it feels a little more smooth but I was expecting more changes tbh.
EUX upgrade live today for me.
One day later for me. Also EUX.

The only difference between the two is the carrier (U) firmware has carrier specific features, not apps, that aren't in the unlocked (U1) firmware. For example, people who have AT&T as their carrier, such as myself, can get AT&T's 5G+ an I have no idea what AT&T's 5G+ even is. Also the U1 version isn't the Google Fi version, I'm guessing when you buy a Google Fi Z flip they use the unlocked variant and just put a sim card inside of it.

In case you haven't found it yet, and one UI 5 is out, you can use samloader, which is a terminal/command line tool that allow you to download firmware straight from Samsung's servers. On Linux it is as simple as running pip install git+https://github.com/samloader/samloader.git and on windows I don't know what to do as I don't primarily use it. The only Idea I have is to download python for windows, clone the repository and copy the files to the same directory of python.exe.
The command to download the firmware using samloader - samloader -m SM-F721U -r TMB -v F721USQU1BVK3/F721UOYN1BVK3/F721USQU1BVK3/F721USQU1BVK3 -o <name of file, e.g. flip4-oneui5.zip or SM-F721U-OneUI5.zip>
