Hi All, I want to continue using my AT&T prepaid plan but I recently bought a locked T-Mobile Galaxy S7 SM-G930T (I'm going to try to unlock it - if that doesn't work this is all moot). I would like to flash AT&T firmware so I can use the AT&T LTE bands. Can I follow the instructions in the link below once I've unlocked a T-Mobile SM-G930T and turn it into a SM-G930A?
http://www.droidviews.com/nougat-firmware-on-att-galaxy-s7s7-edge-sm-g930a-g935a/
I've read the link below... but it seems to be only if you want to continue using T-Mobile service which I don't.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...w-to-flash-att-nougat-to-t-mobile-s7-t3553610
Changing firmware doesn't have anything to do with what bands the hardware supports. Unlock it and throw the ATT SIM in. Only difference is carrier supported features and software (wifi calling, etc). Flashing ATT modem might improve coverage but all S7 support the same bands.
Thanks buddy for the reply. I'm used to using a custom ROM on my Android phones so this is new. Mostly CyanogenMod.
That's good to know I don't need to flash in order to get the bands but I understand I need to if I want OTA updates from at&t. It seems relatively simple that you just flash the AT&T ROM over the T-Mobile with Odin and then use some update file. It doesn't even effect Samsung pay and Knox which is great.
Stupid question: is the AT&T modem included with the AT&T rom? Also, with regards to the 2nd link in the OP what is the update file that you put on the sdcard to use in recovery - is that an OTA update because your ROM is different from your carrier?

The following is the latest G930A Android 7.0 firmware file. All you need to do is flash it with Odin's AP slot to completely convert your G930T to a G930A. No other steps or files are required: G930AUCS4BQC2_CL10280464_QB12904132_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.rar

I don't get why you would do this other than to have ATT bloat over TMO bloat (IMHO TMO has less bloat than ATT). There's no technical advantage. Am I missing something?

The amount of bloatware is irrelevant since you can freeze all bloatware on either build. I experienced many issues on the TMo version including issues with Android Auto, Google Assistant, and Tasker. I thought these apps were buggy but all of those issues were resolved on the AT&T version. The AT&T version seems to be a better, bug-free build.

Read that in a different thread you posted to after I responded. I think it's very YMMV though. But if you saw improvement then ??
Hi, did anyone ever complete this flash from SM-G930T to SM-G930A? I'd like to do this solely to try and get the wifi calling feature since my workplace has poor cell service but great wifi. I bought the T-Mobile phone, unlocked it, put the ATT sim in and everything but wifi calling works fine. I appreciate the reply!
This is much later in the year (11-8-2021) and ATT has posted the list of phone they say will work and it only shows G930A. It seems their test of working means it must have been sold by ATT. They say My G930T won't work. So Will ATT continue to use customer's unlocked phones it they were not orginally sold by ATT. They have the records. Will ATT refuse to use one of their SIMs even if the phone is Flashed to ATT logo. I do not want to throw away my G930T phone.

Hello and thank you. You posted this information and link back in 2017 and so much has changed. Mostly ATT is now working hard to get rid of all 3G towers and firing up 5G. They said my Galaxy S7-GM930T would not work so I think they link you posted will help me convert the phone back to a GM930A or U or U1. My question is,..Has anything in your post changed since 2017 and if so could you please advise me of what I need to do. Thanks very much.

As of this writing (11/29/2017) this is the latest firmware for the G950U1 att unlocked S8 . I'm leaving this here for reference so people can return to it if/when they need it.
Download, extract, remove .md5 file name off the end of each file, flash.
G950U1UEU2AQK2 (This WILL update your bootloader so after this, no going to QH3 or before. Not that you'd have a reason to)

If I flash unbranded FW on a carrier specific device, loke tmo or att for example, would it sim unlock the phone?
If I flash tmo FW on an att s8 would it in turn allow me to use the att original device on tmo? I ask these questions because I feel like it would work for both my questions since flashing the FW flashes both boot, kernel and baseband/radio. The which is needed for signal. Just some theories but would love to know the answers.
Btw, I have a F model S8+ and was planning on buying some US branded devices so I was curious.

No, it will not unlock the phone (Note: Verizon phones are factory unlocked and remain that way after a firmware flash)
Yes, you can flash any carriers FW to a US S8 and use it with a different carrier.
So I understand, your saying if I flash att FW to a T-Mobile s8 I can use it on tmobile? If that is the case, to me that's an unlock of sorts tiny book lol. Just wanna make sure is all

You can flash att firmware and use it on TMobile but it will still be locked to TMobile. Just running att firmware.

Just realized the typo.....what I meant was, if I flash ATT on a TMO variant I can use ATT while locked to tmo? I'm very unfimiar with combination fw and always opted for the UK models for alot of reasons. Sorry for the confusion of my op question. I know on the s7 and edge if you flashed the US unlocked firmware it not only removed AOL bloat but it unlocked the device. So that is why I ask.

I had a TMobile S7 edge and flashing unlocked firmware never unlocked the device. That's handled by TMobile servers so...
Flashing unlocked firmware will give you just that. The smoother, bloat free firmware from another device but not the actual sim unlock.
I bought an unlocked device and wanted wifi calling so I flashed the g950usqs1aqf7 att firmware with Odin and it worked to enable wifi calling but I'm unable to get any ota updates and I hate the bloat. Is it possible to get WiFi calling with an unlocked firmware like this one? Also what is the difference between the U and U1 firmware variants?

There are plenty of threads on this, but I don't think anyone was ever successful. I flashed att Oreo to my u1 and got the options, but can't get my company to change my imei back.... My personal phone sim works fine. Quit at that point since it's an Ims registration error. You can try merging the wifi calling apks, but I'm pretty sure it's baked pretty deep in the os. The Verizon guys got some of it working. You can try their threads and see if any of it applies to us.

Thanks. Some threads made it sound possible but inconclusive. I'll just assume it doesn't work.
BTW, can you link to the att oreo fw? And what do u flash that with Odin or comsey?
The thread right below this one entitled Oreo ota has all the details and it needs to be side loaded through adb. Not Odin. But you will need to Odin the 950u base to get off u1

Ok thanks. I need to flash anyways because I'm having terrible battery issues and just debating whether to go to a newer version of 950u or back to U1 and losing WiFi calling. In your opinion is oreo beta worth it
So just to confirm, I have read everything, but I am just a bit confused. If I flashed the unlocked firmware via modified odin on a locked AT&T S8 it will remove a lot of the carrier bloat and give my my wifi hotspot back, but remove wifi calling. Similar to when I flashed the T-Mobile firmware on my AT&T S7 and got rid of a ton of the AT&T bloatware but was able to activate my wifi hotspot but lost wifi calling. I stay locked to AT&T which is fine that is not my purpose for flashing

The links don't work. Any chance you've still got the firmware? I've been overseas since october. I have an unlocked AT&T phone that I intend to keep using when I get back, so I want to keep it AT&T FW.
Hi.
I have a G955U Galaxy S8+ AT&T Factory Unlocked on Android 7.0
Baseband Version: G955USQU1AQD9
Android Security Patch Level - April 1, 2017
I no longer live in the US, and currently in the Philippines. Phone works great and the signal is too and all, but I cannot get OTA updates.
Can I just download the firmware file in this thread and flash straight through ODIN, or do I need to follow another guide?
I have a G955U1, is this ANY different than the G955U? Besides the name, I mean. Can I flash G955U firmware on my G955U1? Thanks.

The u1 is bootloader locked. The u firmware is bootloader locked
If you own a u device and it is not sim unlocked the only advantage u1 firmware give is carrier bloat.
The u1 firmware can be flashed on a u device. But other than listed above no other perks come from this.

I can semi-confirm this. From the recovery menu I can select bootloader and it boots to SOMETHING.....but it looks like it's booting to their downloader version and not what people would traditionally see from a normal bootloader screen. I do know this screen does NOT work for having the phone detected by Platform Tools so no way to use that at all as far as I can see. UGH. I swear I should have just bought a Pixel 2 when I had the chance. GODS Samsung is annoying. :crying:

When you click reboot to bootloader it takes you to what as known as download mode which is how we flash stock firmware. And maybe a couple other things but yea mainly for stock firms. Its used by a program called odin and the latest is 3.13 i believe.

Yea hopefully someone will respond to my main question in the noobie thread. Or maybe you would know. So I know Odin is the program Samsung uses to load new ROM on a phone. And I thought I read somewhere that there was a modified version of Odin that someone made that could install new/different ROM's. But I also saw in another message that either the current version of Odin, or the current version of the modified Odin could still load other ROM's and that someone had tested this. So that was my original primary question.
Is there a way I can use one or the other to load a Stock Android Pie ROM like what might come with a Pixel so I can avoid all the garbageware from Samsung? Or is there a chance doing that, that I would have some of my hardware features disabled since that seems to be an issue loading a ROM from another phone? And if so. Has anyone made a ROM for Samsung phones with all the garbage programs removed? Or is it still too early in the release of Pie for Samsung for that to be a reality right now?
Thank You for the info.

There is a pie beta I don't know if it is official yet. If you flash the unlocked firmware I've read you lose features like WiFi calling and volte. But I have not tried pie or unlocked firm ware on mine. There is a thread on installing safestrap then doing a rooted system images then from there depending on the flashed image if you do debloat. Again I haven't tried the new root method. I'm still on a really old revision from end of 2017

Ok thanks for the info. So apparently right now it's just a bit too early to be trying to find a Pie ROM that would work with my phone and not loose some hardware features. Which I guess makes sense since Samsung is only just now releasing it for S9's I believe in european countries I guess primarily to make sure how they borked it with their own software and tweaking didn't totally screw up their phones. Heh.
Oddly enough I got all excited when I saw it said there was an update today, but all it was for was a security update to bring it up to "Feb 1st, 2019" Android security level.
Thanks for the info about things. :good:

Yes you can flash the u1 firm Ware as long as its the same revision bootloader 5th digit from the last.
I think you have to flash the equal combination file first

I have flashed both the ATT and USC firmwares for the SM-N970U1 but still no wifi calling option. At this point I don't know if I've actually flashed the ATT firmware or not. Odin says Pass. Under the Service Provider SW ver. it makes mention of ATT/ATT/XAA but I'm not sure if that means the phone is on the ATT network or if that's firmware info. How do I tell what firmware I've actually flashed?

There is already a thread on this and one of the members was nice enough to post exactly what firmware to flash.
I suggest looking for that thread its exactly what you need
That thread is for the Note 10 plus. I'm asking about the Note 10. That's where I got the idea to flash the USC version from but like I said, didn't work.

Of course samsung has to make it difficult lol
I used the home_csc file instead of the csc. That should not have been an issue. I assume I'm still on the unlocked firmware but I have no clue. I don't see any AT&T bloatware or Logo. I downloaded the firmwares from the sammobile site. Even downloaded from the samfirm app just in case. So I flashed 3 times. No difference.

What did you type into the SamFirm when you searched for firmware for your AT&T?
SM-N970U1 and ATT

Maybe ATT doesn't put their firmware online as I tried searching and couldn't find on SamFirm. I am on T-Mobile and we have 2 different firmware versions.
If I type in SamFirm the following:
1) SM-N970U1 and region: TMB - I will get pretty much same unlocked firmware that I had on the phone, nothing will pretty much change after flashing this firmware.
2) SM-N970U and region: TMB - I will get T-Mobile firmware that is on their branded devices and all features.
Ask the OP in the below thread for latest ATT firmware file(userdata). If you recently flashed firmware, but the firmware in the thread is a bit older, you may not be able to flash until newer version is released.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10/how-to/n970u-n970u1-firmware-links-t3957705
So should I search for SM-N970U and ATT instead?
I did also do an ota update when I first got my phone so I have the August security update. Not sure if that's an issue since I have newer update?

Normally that is correct, but it doesn't look like ATT is putting their firmware up on server as other carriers do.
Go to the link I provided of that thread. Click on the first link that says U firmware. Then look a bit down where is says: SGO - 1 - 9.0. After this link opens, you will see first 2 files: N970U_SGO_1.zip and USERDATA_ATT... You can try to download these files, extract to a folder and flash including the userdata file. If it fails, then you may need to wait until this person provides new firmware and you will need to download the firmware and that userdata_att
Yeah At&t is horrible about posting firmware. I usually just use USC firmware and once installed it will provision to At&t based on sim and you will get all At&t carrier options such as Volte..wificalling..advanced messaging.

Thanks yeah that's what I'm about to do. My mistake was downloading from the U1 section instead of U. So confusing. Why even have any carrier firmwares under the U1 section?
Flashed the U / USC firmware and got AT&T firmware.

Are you on the July security patch? I just did this process with the ATT firmware and it says up to date with July security patch. On the U1 unlocked firmware, I was on August already. I just wanted to be sure I didnt mess up something and it wont update properly.
I am on the August security update. That was part of the USC firmware. I didn't do an ota update after flashing so at this point I don't know if ota updates will work for me.

Did you download your files from here https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=297974 ? Thats here I got mine and its for the SGO firmware on Note 10. Im thinking something went wrong now becasue mine wont update OTA and smart switch says im up to date when there is another firmware for ATT out - ASH4 version.

Thanks. What did you put for Model# and region? I input SM-N970U and USA(AWS) and nothing pops up. Using samfirm 0.4.0
Use USC for region
Hi all,
I bought this phone from my friend who was using it on ATT. It is global unlocked phone and I activate and register, change new 5gsim and no problem on Verizon Network.
It is working and fine but, it shows ATT logo when phone is boot up and still it has ATT bloatware.
Under the Software information > Service provider software version is showing below
SAOMC_SM-F711U_OYN_ATT_RR_0016
ATT/ATT/ATT
SO THIS PHONE IS legit!! even Verizon told us. They did everything with me for 3 hours. wow!
Anyway, I think it's the problem of other carrier's software is in
Do you guys know how to change provider software to Verizon? should I contact Samsung??
Please help me.
Thank you!!!!!!!!

I found solutions and flash the firmware with Verizon userdata, but, still shwoing everything on ATT. Not Verizon.
I even flash with factory reset. Yes, I used Odin 3.13.1b patched and it passed...
Do you have any idea?

I got it working. Thank you. your "Flash a U1 software and VZW userdata." help me a lot.

@iHeartslutsz https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-z-flip-3/firmware/#SM-F711U1
Whenever I flash a new software through Odin after downloading it from Sammobile, the Dark Side RC theme (I think it's related somehow to the so called Star Wars special edition) for samsung, comes as one of two default themes into the system and can not be removed. Hence, even I change the theme from setting, this iron head appears everytime I restart the phone for a few seconds. So I tried different firmwares for my country but nothing changes. So someone from another forum said that my service provider software version differs than theirs. So in short, how to get rid of this silly iron head? Any help would be appreciated.
change csc, use SamKEY (paid) or SamFwFRPTool (free), then flash frimware you need with odin with CSC file (this will wipe your phone and reset to factory), not use home_csc in odin

Thank you. I downloaded totally different firmware files with different CSC code and the problem has solved.
SamFwFRPTool is a tool I use to change my CSC software channel. The way I understand it you need to change the CSC in the program before flashing the u1 software on it so you get a full unlock as opposed to a partial one.
I might be wrong here though so don't take everything I say as being true.
