Can I use unlocked AT&T S8+ on VZW and flash VZW stock rom to it.

I have been reading the forums for the past 2 hours and can't find a straight answer. Every thread gets sidetrack with different answers to different questions. I am just looking for the simple answer. I am looking at trading my wife's iPhone 7 for an S8+ AT&T but I have VZW. I would like it to work like it was originally from VZW. I heard Samsung Pay stops working if tampered and i really want to keep that. Any answers or suggestions?

As a regular Samsung pay user
I'd take that device to T-Mo. Let them pay it off, and get a T-Mo device.
Or sell and buy a T-Mobile Device.
If you screw this up Knox is gone on a very expensive device

Two things you could try.
1: try flashing the VZW firmware to see if it sticks.
2: flash it to the new 955U1 firmware and have the unlocked model.

Hi - Do you know if flashing this device will or will NOT trip Knox?
Thanks.

It's the official firmware, so no it doesn't trip Knox. I did it before on my S7, and now I've flashed over my S8+ and everything is working fine.

Did you need to flash the engboot to do this? I was under the impression you couldn't successfully flash a different CSC without hitting errors? Would be nice if I could flash the stock 955u1 firmware and have VoLTE, HD etc
Thanks!

I will actually be attempting to flash mine to the new 955U1 later tonight so I will keep you updated. Currently mine is on the XAC/VZW combo firmware which is working fine, but I'd prefer to keep it on stock U firmware to save from any headaches later.

I think those are carrier specific features since they are essentially add ons.

Places is a part of the new dialer and caller ID works great. Also Samsung cloud is in the settings tab but I don't really use it. I don't see video calling though.

All of the US carriers list different band frequencies for the s8+. Does the unlocked firmware have support for all these bands? I'm currently using Verizon, but we are in a position where we are switching to T-Mobile next week. Just want to get an idea of what to expect when I pop the new sim in this Verizon variant with the unlocked rom.

Strange, I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it not originally I had flashed my phone to the Canadian firmware and followed all steps to get that working. Then after a few days I flashed over that with the G955U1 FW and everything is working fine. My gear VR also isn't working apparently. Not sure why but maybe it'll be fixed when the 955U1 is officially released.

General F721U1 Firmware Now Available

For those looking to flash their devices immediately, U1 firmware is now available via Frija and other such tools that pull from Sammy's servers. Manual Entry is required, XAA sales code.
PDA: F721U1UEU1AVGA
CSC: F721U1OYM1AVGC
Phone: F721U1UEU1AVGA

Standard MO for Samsung is to remove the Manual Entry requirement once the official launch date hits. Once that date comes, you should be able to pull it via Automatic.
Someone in the Fold 4 forum verified that current Odin 3.14.x (patched of course) works fine for flashing
Happy flashing!

Sweet! Thanks.

Thanks! Just successfully flashed this U1 firmware over my AT&T firmware, I did it with the home_csc so all my data is still there.

1. Could have negative repercussions, yes. Depends on the way that you tend to use your device. If you don't like it, you can flash right back to U
2. Yes, U1 updates work as normal

I flashed and now I have att bloatware on my device. Is this normal?
ahh, just realized I probably downloaded a different file.

SamFW.com is great for firmware, but they're not gonna have an AT&T USERDATA file. I'm not sure if everything will work properly without it. I have a source that can get me Samsung firmware for any USA device, but I have to pay him for each one

Flashed and was able to enable WiFi-calling with US Mobile that I previously didn't have the option with July update. This is OneUI 4.1.1 btw, and the bottom of the screen is reserved for taskbar which is NOT enabled for Flip 4 so you get a black bar at the bottom in apps, just so you know.

This morning my flip4 finally received the September security patch along with firmware F721U1UEU1AVIA through OTA. My flip4 is an unlocked US phone, I'm on West coast. I haven't noticed any changes yet.

Question XSG to EGY CSC swap using sim card

Hi all, I have s22 ultra and I bought it from UAE, the CSC is obviously XSG. However I'm using the device now in Egypt and I have an egyptian sim card, I want to change the CSC to EGY so that I can benefit from the options like native call recording which is still working in samsung devices in Egypt
My question is there a way to change the CSC with only using the sim card and without flashing or complicated ways?
I read before that If I have the sim card from certain countries I can change the CSC easily using factory reset, but I don't know the exact steps. So is this still working or is it blocked by Samsung?

You should try out the SamFW app to easely change csc (even without wipe). Backup your phone first of course. If you have test mode it will work. And it's totaly free .
Cheers !

The tip is 100% cut&paste from mine, health to all
And NO you can't always change back the csc because on some csc the test mode is blocked and then SamFW doesn't work. It relies on the test mode. Sometimes it doesn't work on the current csc, sometimes on the new csc. So it may not work on the current csc or it may not work on the new csc. So you can either get stuck on the current csc or you may be stuck on the new csc. If you have a friend with the new csc he can check if test mode works. But he must have the exact device like you. Also they may block the test mode on the new Android 13 that is coming. You never know !
Cheers.

Well this is very informative, thanks and I hope they never lock the test mode

@DaOldMan @Mem_0 thanks guys it worked like a charm, also for EGY the test mode still there so I guess this means I can go back to XSG of I want
One more question though please, I can still see in the service provider software version it's still EGY/EGY,EGY/XSG/XSG. What does those XSGs means and is there any meaning to their existence?

The last XSG can't be changed unless rooted. It's the "original csc" which is the csc where the device was manufactured. Don't remember now the one before last. But the two with the comma between them are the currently used CSC for Sim1 and Sim2 and they are Egy so you will now use Egy csc for the rom.

I have TNL on the end, can I change that to EUX with root? And than revert to stock to receive OTA's?

No need to change the last CSC code. Those last two are just for Samsung to know where you bought it. It doesn't affect updates or how the rom works. This is affected by the first 3 csc codes.
With root you can change everything. But as I said, it will do nothing for you.

Than why people with EUX/EUX/_/EUX get the update as soon as Samsung releases it and I have to wait 3 days, week or even longer?

Eux is not one csc. It also has associated country called "country ISO" like DBT for Germany, XEO for Poland or BTU for U.K! Which country ISO is yours? There is a guide how to change that btw (no idea if it works or if does any damage, also some say Alliance Shield doesn't work now):
Samsung Pay in german, CSC is EUX fix, 5 minutes
Hello This also works with most Samsung phones If anyone is struggling with Samsung pay being in German and has the csc being EUX, I know how to solve the issue and it only takes about 5 minutes. Basically the csc is set to EUX, which is the new European standard, but for some reason, Samsung...

Question Flashing Another Country/Region's Firmware?

One UI 5/Android 13 still hasn't hit my US (SM-A536U) phone yet. I'm leaning towards this being a no, but would it be possible to download the European firmware for Android 13 for the A53 and use it on my US phone? I'm hesitant because the European variant is SM-A536B and mine is SM-A536U. That would prevent this from working right (them having different model numbers)? I just want verification.
If this is possible, I would just download the Europe firmware from Sammobile and flash through Odin, right? Does the device need an unlocked bootloader? Can't do that on a US variant if so...might be out of luck. Anyways, thoughts?
**And I don't wanna hear crap about "just wait for the OTA update to hit your phone", I hate how there's no set date for when the OTA update will get to my phone (one of the only things I miss about owning an iPhone, everyone got the new update on the same day).**

I think it should work - they seem only to differ in network coverage, yours supports more bands:

Oh of course! If this fails the world falls into total chaos.
You're talking about the network bands, right? I'd imagine that shouldn't have much of an impact when it comes down to firmware. I wonder if I'd see a decrease in network performance? Hmm things to consider. Thanks for the insight!

Anyone else have anything to add? I think I'm gonna try flashing later today with the European firmware.

You don't need unlocked bootloader and you don't lose warranty as long as you flash original firmware with Odin. However i'm not sure that you would be successful in flashing EUX firmware on A536U model, try not to brick your phone. It probably wont work anyway and wont let you go trough with flashing in Odin as it's different model.

When comparing the models, they seem to be nearly identical in terms of specs. Like mentioned above, the only difference comes from the network bands. I guess the US variant has more bands to it than the European variant. Now I'm second guessing lol. I have the firmware downloaded, just backing up my phone in case things go awry.

I guess the US variant has more bands to it than the European variant. Now I'm second guessing lol. I have the firmware downloaded, just backing up my phone in case things go awry.

Yes, but it's not that simple. You would probably have to change CSC first, i think SamKey tool is used for that, if hardware is the same maybe it's a possibility.
Even at SamKey US model isn't supported yet. US/Verizon model uses different 4G and 5G band frequencies, you could do a lot more harm and i'm pretty sure phone wouldn't work.

Noted! Thanks for all the info.
I guess it would be safer to wait for the official OTA. At the end of the day I still want a working phone. Really not a fan of how Samsung releases its updates. Appreciate the help!

It would be best to wait, also i can tell you there's not much difference in OneUi 5. Visually is pretty much the same.

Would it be possible to do the same thing for the exynos model. I have a a536w model.

All the A53 models use the same Exynos processor.

Hi Guys,
Would a conversion from a SM-A536E to SM-A536B be possible?

So Odin failed with re-partitioning part. The SM-A536E i have is a Dual Sim with 8GB RAM. Is that the issue, or do we use a patched odin in this case?

Yes many people have done it.

Just tried the Patched Odin as well and too it's failing. Could be the 8GB RAM being different somehow?

It's possible.

Hesitant to try the PIT path.
