Well, you may try with ODIN, but not sure if that will work due to a mismatch in the device version. You got nothing to lose, ODIN will fail if there is a problem, it won't brick your device. In worse case a factory reset, so backup all your data/apps.

Set the date ahead 1 week check for update. Yes you can safely flash U1

Would be nice if someone would post step by step instructions for this lol. I would like to do the same but its been a while since I've done any flashing or anything like that so I'm too nervous ill break something

Unlocked S8+ Update

Today I have received an update for my S8+ running unlocked firmware on my Verizon phone. If I update will I still remain on the unlocked firmware? I ask because at the bottom of the changelog it says SM-G955U1/VZW. or would I have to Odin it??
That's probably referring to the fact that your SIM has been provisioned for VZW. It will not change you to VZW firmware.

Did you update to the recent firmware update? Last thing I want is to update and be without a phone for 9 hours while I'm at work and have to Odin all over again.
I did a regular OTA update, with the U1 firmware installed. Everything went through as it should.

Flashing Unlocked Firmware?

I have a Bell S8+ (SM-G955W) from here in Canada. Can I use Odin to flash the unlocked direct from Samsung software? Any benefits or downsides to doing this?

Yes you can. Look in the General section for the Tutorial. Download files from Updato or Sammobile.
Benefit: no bloat ware
Down side: no WiFi calling, no VoLTE

You won't get updates. But they are available on Updato and Sammobile. And you don't need to be able to "sign up" for the Oreo beta.

I was on the October security patch (AQJA). So my first step was to "go back" to August, AQGL (have to be on AQGL to use that linked method). I did this by downloading the file from Updato, then flashing it via Odin.
Then, to install the Oreo beta .zip you have to ADB sideload the file.
Note that this wipes/factory resets your device. And that's a good thing. One should always do a factory reset when there's a major change of versions. Avoids a lot of issues with conflicts.
Any major issues you've found with it?

None. It's been flawless for me so far. But be sure to factory reset, and don't restore any backups. Set it up as a new device.

SM-G930U root for v9 Bootloader "G930UUEU9CSA3"

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.

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 : )

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 ?

If you have the U1 variant with unlocked bootloader, you can download latest firmware for your device e.g. with Frija and flash it with Odin.
If you have the U variant with locked bootloader, then you have to wait for Verizon to provide the OTA updates.
i upgraded my galaxy s10e (exynos) to one ui 3.1 and it's showing a lot of lag, and the camera takes time to open and take a picture. (Can anyone help me with this) ? is its performance normal with the one ui 3.1?
reboot in recovery mode (phone needs to be connected with computer by USB), wipe cache followed by repair apps.

To receive OTA updates (from Verizon), you have to stay on original Verizon firmware.
If you are sure that there is already an update available from Verizon, and you do not get it over the air, then contact Verizon support.
Flashing a firmware of another device model into your phone may brick it and you will lose any warranty and support.

1. The U1 model does NOT have an unlocked bootloader.
2. You can manually upgrade either model via the exact same process: download firmware via Frija or wherever and flash in Odin. Waiting for OTA is *never* required

Question Android 13

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.

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>
