Guys I have T-MO Note 8 SM-N950U. Software Ver XAA/XAA/TMB.
I am currently on Nougat 7.1.1 N950USQU1AQH7/N950UOYN1AQH7. I haven't got any Oreo update still. No update from OTA or Samsung switch. I asked with Samsung Support and they say they have released Oreo update for all US phones. And T-MO support is saying Samsung will provide update since it is unlocked one. Guys please give me some help/directions on how I can go to Oreo on my Note 8. Thanks. :crying:
Samsung support responds pretty quickly if you contact them via Twitter or the Samsung+ app.

You have a SM-N950U1 right? Mine is SM-N950U. So does this mean my Phone is not getting the update due to not being on T-Mobile Carrier. If so Any way I can Manually update to Oreo, I searched around and could not find a XAA SM-N950U firmware. There is one for the SM-N950U1 though. Samsung Support says to wait for an update. But they are not certain to which date. Its been so long now.

**** yes, not sure why I thought you had the unlocked version. Tmobile page shows that Oreo was released for their Note 8.
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-37051
I would just flash the Unlocked Note 8 version there is a thread here just follow the instructions from this thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/guide-sm-n950u-u1-t3685884
Especially if you are using it on another network. All the US Note 8 are the same hardware wise just flashed with different software. You can get the firmware from here.

If You Are on 3 network in Ireland/England then please reply.
I've read that some ppl on 3 network have gotten s3 updates already and im still on the stock update, does anyone know about the release dates for the updates on 3?
Are you still running the stock firmware or have you rooted your device? For reference, if it's rooted, you will no longer receive OTA updates and will have to install them yourself.

Call Three. They are a bit notorious for slow sendout of OTA updates.

Forget about otas and flash the firmware yourself, its the only way to have the latest firmware available.

hello, I am asking for, because I see a lot of people saying about diferent firmwares for each devices (AT&T, TMB, VZW, SPR) and the model is the same for all(G955U), I found in AFH an stock firmware but it says TMB, and I don't want to brick my device lol.
Can anyone share a firmware to our S8+ from Sprint???
If is possible, I am looking for QD9 version.
Thanks
without unlocked bootloader, you cannot flash anything. 955U has no unlock solution yet.
You can't Flash... but you can Odin stock firmware... anyone have Sprint stock firmware ?

I have noticed the baseband firmware is the same and there is a "user" firmware file that is strictly associated with the carrier. I have recognized this with Verizon and Sprint. ODDLY.. I have only seen these carrier firmware files included with the initial firmware release of the phone..
So Verizon launched its GS8 plus with one firmware release in advance of Sprints release of the phone.
So the two firmware files are NOT compatible given you are unable to downgrade and completely unprovission your phone.
Now .. I think the theory is that if you own a Verizon handset that has never received an update you can provision to Sprint .. granted you have the complete initial firmware set for Sprint.
Just FYI, it appears with the new Blv3 firmwares, the device will only accept official firmware. Meaning, no more flashing U1 firmware on the carrier models, or vice versa. No more flashing U or U1 firmware to the Canadian W models. Flashing between carrier firmwares is fine as long as it's on a carrier branded device (running TMB on a VZW device, etc). But running 950U firmware on a 950U1 will result in a brick, that is this far unrecoverable.
If your currently are running U1 firmware on a U device, vice versa, or running W firmware on a U or U1 device, or vice versa, you need to flash back to the firmware version that shipped with your device BEFORE you accept any OTAs that take you up to Blv3. Currently the S series is still on BlV2, but may go to Blv3 like the Note series just did.*
This has been tested and confirmed.
Credit goes to @me2151, @FatalONEM8*for discovering this and warning people. I didn't find the issue or test, it just passing on the info to hopefully save some bricks.
Update from @mweinbach:
EDIT: After being tested by XDA Senior member me2151, it turns out cross region flashing does work. Prince Comsy Odin is working, but we can not test if the factory binary flashing will hard brick your phone. So flashing US unlocked onto a US carrier device should work.
This myth has been completely busted. We are not sure what bricked the tester's phone. He was not trying to downgrade from Blv3 to Blv2, nor did it have anything to do with FRP lock or user accounts as some people (who weren't involved in the testing) suggested.
But as we have verified, and has also been verified by users here at XDA, Prince Comsy ODIN still works on Blv3. Carrier switching still works on Blv3. @BlueFox721 has posted the Factory Binary files for Blv3 as well as a guide for carrier switching.
So carry on! Canadians, feel free to use U software! U users, feel free to use U1 software!
I am happy to admit I was wrong, and I apologize for any frantic flashing and factory resets I caused. I genuinely was trying to prevent hard bricks, and decided to err on the side of caution, even if that meant I overreacted.
Thank you for understanding!
So when the new firmware comes out I will try this out.. give me a reason. To get an new device

As long as you're ready to pay for one! LOL
Seriously, post back here when you test it.
There is currently a group working on a fix for bricked devices, but for now consider it a hard brick. Don't chance it.
Im confused by what is posted by OP. I bought an unlocked device directly from Samsung and if I recall, it was a U1. I immediately flashed the Verizon firmware version (1AQ15) and have been getting OTAs. This morning I updated via OTA to 3BRA5 with no problem. Given no issues, should I worry if I ever need to ODIN a Verizon firmware with v3 BL in the future?

You may have lucked out. I'll bring it to the attention of the Telegram group.
Can somebody smarter then me explain what this means for me?
I'm currently a 950W device running BLV3 CRAD from the 950U
From what I understand, don't accept OTAs, so I've turned off auto update,
but from what I can see, I'm not able to register my phone to receive OTA's
because I'm on unreleased firmware.
ignore it, aslong as you flash a BL3 firmware through odin, I was on oreo too and used the nougat 7.1.1 with BL3 which was just released, you can flash with odin with no issues whatsoever, Only use firmware from N950U and youl be fine

So far there have been no issues with the oreo leaks on blv3. But what we've seen is once the official releases come out, if you accept an OTA or ODIN to the new official firmware. It will brick if you're trying to use a different region CSC. I.e. running 950U firmware on a 950W or vice versa.

Ohh okay, that makes sense, so for example, if I stay on this build, once an official odin of the 950W comes out with BLV3 I can safely odin to that?

Yes that is my understanding. We are still researching.
This is a very bastardly, and Apple like thing for Samsung to do! Not pleased that I'm going to have to either stay on my current build of Nougat forever or flash back to Sprint, as Sprint disables things like Samsung's built in caller ID and replaces it with their own pay app. Not to mention a tonne of other unwanted bloat.
How does the boot loader know the firmware has been cross flashed anyway? I thought all that mattered was that the image was signed by Samsung.
There are only Snapdragon Devices affected, or also exynos devices?

True i didnt think about that half of it....
Oh well good thing I like where i'm at.
Forget sammy and Forget Oreo
I don't asked because the modded Odin, I asked because that new boatloader update. The boatloader for Exynos are different to Snapdragon. But I think you guys are right. I could bet that new secured boatloader entries are also into Exynos boatloader.
Edit: ok, i just have read the article again. Exynos boatloader are also patched [emoji852]

WHAT?! Who am I going to harass in the N8 forums now?!
I have a question. Is it able to flash global version? Because of I don't like the device came with ATT apps.
No, even you don't get ota if you're out of ATT network.
No cross flash version of lgup until now.

Thought I'd start a thread where all owners of the device can post their latest updates & discuss new features brought with the updates, where it just be a security patch, or some new ColorOS features!

Got the same update notification, have not installed the update just in case it hinders my ability to root this once a root guide gets released.
I did not receive any update on OTA since i bought the phone in UAE, i just downloaded this 4GB file and install it via recovery.

It works perfect for my CPH2025 although it starts with CPH2023 ??
