how did they did that?i searched in internet only found method to disable the apps ??
iam afraid from updating in odin and all att bloatware return.so any idea about this?because u know cant do ota update cuz i dont have att sim ....

Better make sure you didn't buy a fake phone because what you're saying is impossible to do withoutroot. What's the Baseband and kernel version of the phone?

That's weird.. I don't have an answer for that unless AT&T decided to remove all their bloatware from that firmware baseband which is highly unlikely lol. Maybe someone else might know.

You can update the firmware by using adb sideload but I don't think it's a good idea really because it's awfully weird that you have no bloatware on it.. And the bootloader is locked. You can also use odin on a Windows pc to flash the firmware while it's in download mode like that but like I said I'd be careful because you can't make a full system image backup without root and twrp so if something goes wrong there is no going back so just be sure you want to do something before doing it..

It's possible the device you have was sideloaded with an early bloat free build of whatever version you are on. If you update you will get the bloat. If you didn't want it, should not have purchased at&t version.

Early build of one of the updates. Some of the updates att posted to the servers weren't pushed out and I remember some were missing all the ATT crap. People were pulling them down manually by figuring out the direct download link.
Thanks.

There's definitely something not right about that phone.. I'm not sure what it is though.. If that was my phone I would just take the risk and reinstall the 'same' firmware that's already on it to see if that makes any difference.. Or just get an alarm app from the play store.

I'm pretty sure this is what was done to remove the bloatware from the phone before you got it because doing it with this windows application leaves virtually no trace of having been done..
debloater tool
All the bloatware was really still there it was just disabled causing it to not be shown on your device.. This is the same thing Package Disabler pro does the difference is, if you remove Package Disabler then all the apps will return but with the debloater tool it doesn't install anything to your device hence why you wouldn't know how it happened.

When they're disabled with that tool they do not show up in app manager either. But like I said, there's obviously something not right with your device.

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.

Ya I tried the unlocked firmware and still did not get it, must have been to late.

Everyone, all you need to do to get the beta, on ANY us s8 or s8+
1. Odin QG1
2. Apply QG1 To QGL ota (stock recovery)
3. Apply oreo beta aka QGL to ZQJJ (stock recovery)
That's it. Proven. Confirmed. Fool proof.

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+

What do you mean the right QG1? and why to the ATT QG1 after the unlocked flash? Thought we needed to be on AQGL?

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. Here is the link to the ATTS8+ thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s8+/how-to/looking-brave-people-to-try-t3699352/page14. Thanks to @muppetmaster916 for the info.

using Android since 2010 and never did a full wipe for a version upgrade (even with Samsung's phones)

I received the ota but sized at 48mb..? Is that wrong??

So it seems like no one on TMobile and DP5 got the OTA? I ask because TMobile has had a separate variant of the OTA/factory image over the last few.

Don't think you have to wipe. Just updated 1 locked and 1 unlocked with OTA and Image. Edited flash-all with no -w.
Everything is totally perfect.

I think we need to wait until we have the Odin images to flash that way

I'm not sure but from checking other similar threads this zip file would need to be renamed to update.zip or ota.zip and flashed from stock recovery from the s10+ or using command via adb. to push the update.

Just a heads up for anyone on Verizon looking to try the beta, the update providing goofwear regarding T-Mobile is indeed compatible with Verizon wireless. Flash it either through adb sideload or sd card as mentioned and it'll boot normally. No csc or sim card tricks needed in order for service to work properly. Phone boots up fine and no issues relating service. Thanks guys and thank you goofwear!

I was able to get this going as well. So far no problems. Only been about 20 minutes though.

So im finally unofficially ln the beta. After flashing back to BSI4 U firmware which wouldnt boot(after dirty flashing twice in a row lol) i was able to just use the update zip and it booted no problem. All is good. Like the new animations so far. Will post after using it some more. On SPR without any difference in signal so far.

Can i update to beta via that update zip.I'm currently on G975USQS2ASGK

I flashed my AT&T G975U over to the U1 firmware today since the unlocked version is part of the beta program, but the beta for unlocked devices has been delayed to "a later time".
So I got a question. If I flash back to G975U1 AT&T, and then update to this beta using the update.zip file what's the situation for future OTA updates? Since AT&T is not part of the public beta they wont be pusing updates designed to update this build. So I would have to Odin back to a AT&T release right?

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.

Just a note that although it doesn't matter, it was originally a SM-F936U (updated to U1 then W)

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. Android 13 was released first for unbranded Canada XAC and since I'm actually using on Canadian networks, might as well. So far ok. No issues to report.

Hello all now I'm just confused so my zFold4 says it's the SM-F936U and I did the updates sense i figured if the US varients are not rootable as of now im just going to update it to the 13 update and after it up dated twice last night and it...

Ok I just flashed from U1 to a W ROM, specifically F936U1UES1AVJ1 (Android 12, XAA) to F936WVLU1BVK3 (13, XAC), and it all seems like it works fine. I'll update if I run into anything in the next few days.
Just a note that although it doesn't matter, it was originally a SM-F936U (updated to U1 then W)

Hey I have a question, in order to update to the W XAC, did you have to delete user data? Or were you able to update keeping your data. Thanks

Well that's good to hear that makes sense then, so you are using it on a Canadian carrier??

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]
