USA Unlocked software flashing - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

I have a question.
I have the t-mobile version of the S8 plus.
If I flash the USA unlocked version software I know I loose VOLTE and Wifi Calling but can I unlock the bootloader?
I suspect the answer is no. I just could not find any thread with the information in it.
Thanks

Whit the USA unlocked firmware you loose volte but wifi calling is still working and no it does not unlock the bootloader. I've been using the unlocked version and it's been flawless for me. I flashed mine around may and still going strong.lol. no reflashes since then.

Thanks for the info on the BL

Hi all. When you flash the U1 firmware on Any Unlock USA S8 or S8+ and you have it running on T-MOBILE, you'll get Full WI-FI Calling and VoLTE, I know it works 100% because I UNLOCK 7 S8 and S8+ and test them and currently Using 1 right this minute. It works better than standard T-MOBILE firmware plus you see when your phone connected to LTE plus. I have done the same on my T-MOBILE S7 Edge, that too shows LTE plus but with T-MOBILE baseband flash on it.

Stock T-Mobile Galaxy S4 Rom on unlocked ATT S4??

Hey there guys,
I looked everywhere to find the answer to this question, but I have yet to find it. My roommate just bought an unlocked ATT Galaxy S4 and he has T-mobile service. However, he doesnt get wifi calling and that feature is vital. So here is my question:
Is it possible to flash the 100% stock odin T-Mobile Galaxy S4 rom on an unlocked ATT Galaxy S4 without any issues? What should I do? I appreciate any help out there that I can get.
Andrew
From my research (due to the exact same issues), the ATT s4 has different radio hardware, so it wouldn't work, at least not with a stock T-mobile rom.

But if I flash the tmobile radio or the modified att radio with AWS enabled, I should be ok right? The thing I worry about the most is bricking the device via odin flash.
There are threads about applying an AWS patch to AT&T phones to make them work on T-Mobile's network. I have not personally tested but was under the impression the radio hardware was ok it was more of a matter of TMo using one frequency for download vs upload on AT&T (or vice versa). A TMo sales rep told me he did that on his girlfriend's phone (which is an S3) and got it to work fine.

Don't Odin flash different variant's 100% stock images. If it's a CWM/TWRP flashable ROM you won't have any problems so long as you use the AT&T kernel. Flashing other variant's radios/firmware may cause problems. With you having an AT&T device, use modem/baseband/firmware. The AT&T AWS Enabled Radio can be found here
I have been searching the web for long time try to find the exactly same answer, but I haven't found any reliable source on it. If anyone has tried this and work, please post a guide here for us, thanks ahead!

I'm running the ModdedUAMDL_v2 on my i337 right now with no issues. I have also flashed the AWS enabled modem and haven't had a problem with data at all. Just be sure to flash a LOKIFYED kernel after flashing the ROM or it won't boot.

I just found this thread. I enabled the AWS frequencies on my i337, can you post what ROM you used and what instructions you used? so do you have wifi calling enabled now?
Thanks
my main two interests are
-wifi calling
-mobile hotspot, as it is included in my plan but the AT&T rom won't let me use it
You can use any of the touch wiz roms in the t-mobile section. Just make sure to flash att kernel

[Q] Can I put T-mobile firmware on an unlocked SGH-M919V ?

I have an unlocked Nextel version of the SGH-M919V Baseband version M919VWXUFNE2
Can I put the stock T-mobile firmware this phone?
If so what is the procedure, I was recently up dated to 4.4.2
I need the WiFi calling feature, at my home reception is very poor so really need it for voice.

SGH-M919 is the T-Mobile variant, so it should be no problem.
The easiest way to go back to stock is to use KIES, but that will revert you back to V.
You can download stock and flash with ODIN. As long as it is stock T-Mobile and you have a T-Mobile account, WiFi calling will work fine.

I have a T-mobile account so with ODIN I can flash the current version directly and it will work... That's good news
Where do I find the latest version?
Is there anything I need to do specifically since I have Nextel firmware in the phone.

OK I tried ODIN 3.09 with firmware version M919UVUFNB4 which is 4.4.2 and it failed with a bootloader permission error
I already have 4.4.2 on the phone but its the Nextel Firmware
I read something about installing modem.bin is that my problem?

No, the modem wouldn't be your problem. Since you are already updated to the official 4.4.2, you now have KNOX to worry about. If you don't care about setting the 0x1 flag, your best bet would more than likely be to flash a custom recovery and a modded/stock ROM specifically for the M919 from the Android Development section. You keep mentioning that you have a Nextel device... just to confirm, you have a T-Mobile SIM, correct? Because if not, WiFi calling won't work for you anyway.
Yup, I have a T-mobile account and the phone has a T-mobile SIM in it
I don't think that KNOX flag is an issue as it is an unlocked Non T-mobile phone.
If I have an issue with the phone at all T-mobile is not going to support it.
The model phone I have apparently is exactly the same as the T-mobile branded phone, when I registered it with Samsung they identify it as a T-mobile phone.
I guess I could just get a 1900MHZ repeater and call it a day as well.

You could, I guess... but I would be willing to bet that it would be a lot cheaper to just get WiFi calling working
Like I said, you'll probably have to forget going the Odin route and use a custom recovery and modded/stock T-Mobile TouchWiz ROM.

T-mobile TouchWiz ROM.. Is that stable?
I'm not interested in constantly flashing the phone to get the bug fixes ...
I'd give a stable ROM a try so is that the one to go with?

Yeah, most every ROM posted in the development section is stable, TouchWiz or AOSP. Just make sure you read the OP to confirm that whichever ROM has WiFi calling included as there are TW ROMs which have been ported to our device from other carrier's S4s.... Only those specifically for the M919 will have WiFi calling and it will be specified in the OP. I'm not going to recommend which ROM to flash, but from someone who's tried them all... you can't make a bad decision whatever you choose.

Yes, you can. The only S4 ROMs you should stay away from are those made for the i9500 and non-standard S4's (i.e. S4 mini, S4 Active, etc). Any other variant of the standard S4 (including the i9505G) is good to go; just use a kernel for your specific device. On that note though, the i9505 and M919 kernels are interchangeable, so there's no need to follow that protocol when using our ROMs for your device and vice versa.

Thanks bro for your reply, that's great to know and gained extra 150+ ROMs thread as well really good to use great ROMS in this section
After doing some research my question:
The reason I can't use this firmware is due to the fact that my current baseband is higher than the one I was attempting to flash.
I have FNE2 and was trying to flash FNB4?
Thoughts?
Still looking to do this did anything change here? Has anyone successfully with flashing this with the stock ROM?
I'm a T- Mobile customer
Thanks
I have an unlocked Nextel version 4.42 of the SGH-M919Vzlmnx Baseband / modem / PDA version M919VWXUFNE2

convert n910v to international variant

hi
I recently got a verizon note 4 (n910v) and I want to know if i can convert it to an international variant such as n910F if possible. does the recent bootloader unlock make this possible?
thanks all
I don't think so but you can run N910F roms on N910V but there is only one problem is about data service will not available I personally tested some 5.1.1 based roms and worked great !
But I hope that we can do something like that
To run the F Roms, all ya gotta do is flash the data fix listed in most of the OPs. Can even do MM Roms as well
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA-Developers mobile app
Yeah i know about the data fix but i was hoping to run official samsung n910f firmware. Im not in US and i dont like the verizon branding. I guess rooting is the only way.

Even if you could just convert it, as you say, you'd need to root and then unlock the bootloader. There's different hardware, so that's why the data fix is needed.
i also need n910f rom for n910v

OREO Update ?

Has anyone here on Verizon gotten the OREO update or do we know if Verizon is included in the beta testing? I have seen that only the SM-G955U1 firm wares have received it. Just wondering and looking for info.
You'd need to flash the unlocked firmware to get the beta.
Ive read that the beta is going to Sprint and T-Mobile only US wise...unless you register from the unlocked firmware I guess. But there may be a way to get it on verizon if they pull the update before it installs.
I read that in the US it was only Sprint and T-Mobile, and the rest of the world had to be on unlocked firmware.

Everyone, all you need to do to get the beta, on ANY us s8 or s8+

2. Apply QG1 To QGL ota (stock recovery)
3. Apply oreo beta aka QGL to ZQJJ (stock recovery)

I got this to work on my Verizon Galaxy s8+. You need to install unlocked firmware and the Odin Verizon userdata file, then use Odin to install the at&t QG1, then adb update to the right QG1, then adb install QJJ. Then you are done, and you will have all the Verizon bloat, including wifi, video, and hd calling.
Edit: I also added a screenshot showing that I am on Oreo, and that my service provider is Verizon.
It works for all US s8 and s8+

I wasn't able to go to ATT QG1 with Verizon firmware installed, so I had to go to unlocked G955U1 fimwere then flash ATT G955USQS1AQG1, the adb update to ATT G955USQU1AQG1 and then adb update again to QJJ.
There are two different AQG1 builds, you need to be on QU1AQG1 not QS1QG1 to install the Oreo QJJ update via adb.
I heard you could just flash the unlocked firmware and use a Verizon sim. Nothing extra, info is posted on Galaxy S8 reddit
Ok I was on Verizon AQJA, odin back to Verizon AQGL and then flashed the ATT oreo update and ended up with all the Verizon bloat and everything in settings saying Verizon.

Question CAN F936U FLASH F936U1 Firmware?

hello,I want to F936U flash F936u1 Firmware,how can I do?
I'm absolutely sure that you can do that.
I have tried it yesterday and successfully changed the model.
But, you can't flash it via ordinary Odin. You have use a patched Odin which can be found in XDA and flash the u1 firmware in it.

Hey shorty I bought it used with U firmware and just to be safe to make sure it's stock and the fact U (and W) versions didn't get much updates, I flashed with the U1.

Hey I'm not too sure if you mean this, but yes mine is factory unlocked (actually a dev/demo device). And yes on Canadian network. You can always flash with the newest ATT ROM if yours is from ATT but hasn't gotten updates. Just make sure it indeed is the right model.

I did not keep user data so not sure if you can or should. But I think if you're switching model/CSC, the general consensus is to do a clean flash. If you just want to enable Canadian bands that are disabled on a US device, you can search up a way to do so I think using engineering mode.

Okie dokie sounds good I'm just looking into it and noticed all varients have a similar codes and my pituitary one has the firmware matching the MetroPCS firmware but the only firmware that I have found for at&t comes up as the smf936u1 at least on sammobile I suppose I'll have to check other firmware sites thanks for the reply hope you are having a wonderful day

If you're on any of the U or U1 firmware, I think you can safely flash to any other U/U1 without any issues. I usually cross reference with samfw and Frija too. Have a wonderful day too friend.
Would this enable Sim for phones without it? The SM-F9360 does not have esim support, could be software, I hope.
Can i go from U to W and then root? Or not possible?
Can I go from ATT and flash TMO variant if the model number is the same? SM-F936U? The phone is unlocked FYI. [email protected]
