sorry for the long post but this is my first android. I bought it unlocked from Samsung it’s the f711u1 model. I stupidly flashed it with AT&T firmware and now I have tons of bloatware. I’m trying to flash again to remove it but it’s not letting me, I found out I need the u1 version with the bootloader 2 but I have no idea where to find it I’ve tried googling current firmware with v2 bootloader but can’t find anything. If someone could be so kind to link it in the thread or point me in the right direction I’d really appreciate it.
Even unlocked Samsung's have lots of bloatware.
The easy way to kill it is to use a Package Disabler or adb edits.
Use this setting to globally block ads, lol it's a start:

Have you tried uninstalling the apps? I'm not sure if flashing the firmware yourself works the same as the customization that happens when you add a carrier SIM, but the U1 models allow deleting apps that a carrier version typically blocks. If not, I would definitely recommend trying to get back a U1 firmware over settling for more trash to remove the current trash.

Originally posted in wrong thread. I thought you couldn't get the unlock code box to pop up on the sprint variant (SM-G900P), but managed to do so. Maybe it was possible, but I just never seen it.
Anyway, what now? I have MSL code, but don't want to start throwing wrong codes in and freezing the phone.

I was messing around with idoneapps gt.apk after flashing to MOAR V7.0. I ran the GT.APK update afterwards and the network unlock box was gone and anyway It's for "international unlock", wich I already have and is useless to me. I was thinking I could domestically sim unlock if I had a code to input. No?
Those input boxes are accessible on the Sprint ROMs, (was discovered somewhere in the DSU thread) the problem is there are no known codes out there to input - places/people that sell codes simply do not have them for sprint devices.
In theory, yes, it would probably unlock your device if you got the correct code, but as you point out, trying random ones will likely hard-lock your device (and need a second code to unfreeze).

This post said the Their method is applicable to all of the Samsung machine locks BL.
It is said that ,the G935A,G935T,G935P,G935V cross bootloader flash Chinese Version ,and support ALL band ,all carrier,all
country..
And I get a S7 EDGE G935V, It unlock and flashed,I figure there will be the following
I think there are three possible ways to achieve this effect.
1.、use odin flash the eng kernel,and root. then use Z3X or other box to change the Bootloader Recognized identifier
2、Making a special data line, to achieve strong brush the other version of the firmware. (The other phone use this way..)
3、Modify other editions Samsung firmware identifier,To achieve the bypass bootloader to flash the other version.
There are many experts in the forum, I'm sure you'll find interesting
I hope you can share after a successful
Ignore my bad English...
I will update the picture after 3 hours..

Hi folks.
I have a carrier unlocked S8+ purchased in Singapore. I received a few OTAs while I was there, but have since relocated to the US and I haven't received any OTAs since AQJ5, which was the October security patch. Manual check and the system says I have the latest, which I obviously don't, and even using Smart Switch doesn't trigger an update. I recently did a factory reset with my AT&T US sim installed hoping it might trigger an update, and tried without a sim too. Neither worked.
Complicating factor is I don't have access to a Windows machine to use Odin, I only have a Mac. I tried looking into Jodin3, but so far as I can tell that program is no longer operational.
I need help with any suggestions on how I can trigger an update, OR for someone to share an appropriate update.zip(s) which I can load to my phone from the SD Card to get me up to Oreo from AQJ5...
Model number: SM-G955FD (Exynos)
Carrier unlocked
Current software version: g955fxxu1aqj5/g955foxm1aqj5/g955fxxu1aqj5
Any suggestions from you all would be appreciated. I've spent weeks googling for ideas.
Thanks

I need help removing the custom ROM FRP lock in my S7 but i don't know the CSC or what carrier it was originally form as i got it used, anyone who can help would be in my debt. i should note that the Smart Switch method doesn't work as it wont connect properly via USB.
I am open to any and all solutions and/or alternatives.
would it be easier to just send it in or buy a octoplus stick?
EDIT: I don't have anything important on it so I'm fine if i have to reformat or wipe the PIT
EDIT2: I think it may have been Bell but I'm not 100% sure

I'm not sure what do you mean, you mean:
You have a custom ROM that has a FRP Lock? if so, then you probably have TWRP, which makes it super easy to solve!
You have a stock ROM, but you tried to play with OS probes and ended up with an error regards uncertified modifications? Then it's also easy to solve, check the internet, there are guaranteed ways of passing FRP even on Binary 8 Firmware.
The 2nd methods works if you can actually boot into system*
You may check the recovery and the logs to find what Firmware is on your phone, and which CSC/PDA it has, and yes, the stock recovery has the ability to show you them.
Can anyone pls tell me that what is the current csc of my device?
And most importantly my phone's built no is SM-G970U can I flash a firmware of SM-G970U1?

The CSC is within the last line: SPR/XAA/VZW
You can look up some good info here: https://www.droidviews.com/how-to-change-csc-in-samsung-galaxy-phones/
Basically, this is saying that the active CSC is SPR (Sprint)
... and the phone/ROM not able to determine the CSC of your SIM (XAA is the base/multi-CSC code for the ROM)
... and the phone was "born" as VZW (Verizon). This last one cannot be changed normally, and really doesn't matter (except to the carriers - for example, ATT won't activate a VZW phone, etc... for no real valid reason).
Also, the "OYN_SPR" in the ROM detail tells you that OYN = XAA, and that the ROM was built as an SPR ROM, which is probably why the first CSC is SPR. This is also telling you it's a U-ROM, which is a carrier-specific ROM (U1 is truly open-carrier).
If I flash One from U1
Then will I get ota updates, staying outside USA??
No, I don't thnk you will ever get OTA updates on outside-USA carriers.
But, you can flash ODIN updates yourself... since there aren't that many updates left for this phone, you really don't need OTA updates, because they aren't really happening that often.
