Frp lock Galaxy S8 verizon, g950U, oreo with Binary 3 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers

Hello, it's my first time posting or asking here, I need help please ... I have an s8, the model mentioned above, then it has the frp lock, I've searched thousands of tutorials on YouTube about how to do the bypass and they do not work for me . that's because they have binary 1 or 2, their s8, but none of them work for me because I have binary 3, I tried to do it but in no way odin allows me to flash it, I tried flashing it with z3x 29.5, but it also gives me the error .. so I do not know what to do, I do not need a tutorial step by step, although that would help me a lot, I just want to know what is done in that case to investigate about that. pd here I leave the info of the cell that I read with the box z3x:

Have you found out anything else yet??
I am in the exact same place, same everything but the phone is currently SPR (Sprint) not Verizon. They are the same as far as I know, as I plan to use this one on Verizon.
I will post here if I figure out anything else. Good Luck!

Flash the latest Firmware using Odin3 v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD and it worked for me!!! Only cost my about 15 hours, of trial and error and research =-p.
SM-G950U VZW All firmware link:
https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=SM-G950U&exact=1&r=VZW&v=&rpp=100
Odin3 v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD from this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572
From the posted link above:
"For those looking for a patched odin 3.13.1 version that is a newer build than all the renamed prince comsy 3.12.3 versions floating around.
I patched the latest Odin to offer similar functionality to the princecomsy patch; in that it ignores both the sha256 fails and the model mismatches.
- Developed and successfully tested for my verizon samsung s8 g950u to g950u1 and combination firmwares packages.
- Confirmed working on an unlocked S9+ g965U1 to VZW g965u.
- additional confirmation: G950w from G950u
Attached is the latest patched odin3 v3.13.1 windows version and the original odin v3.13.1 windows and mac version.
Official v3.13.1 Changelog
-Support for compressed binary files (LZ4)
-Support for Android O (Oreo)
-Implement 80 ports Mass D / L
-DVIF for Mac bundle
Be careful flashing!"

Hey i just remember. The old htc evo had the same problem with the sdcard .but. I don't. Remember the command. To get back work i will look fot it
This has been driving me crazy on MANY threads here on xda. Correct me if i'm wrong but ANY 2015 model of the j7 will have the number 700 in the model number (sm-j700p, sm-j700t, etc.). ANY 2016 model will have the number 710 in the model number (sm-710f, sm-710m, etc.). the op states that this thread is strictly for the j700t1, while also stating not to try this on ur 2015 model or you will hard brick ur phone. What am I missing here ppl? the j700t1 is a 2015 model isn't it? Someone please fill me in. thanks in advance

I have a J700T that I purchased in 2016. This sort of information is spread out across so many things that I don't know if I can re-flash this firmware. Any ideas?
will this fix
im unable to get into my old phone using my account and password ??? it would say multiple times to enter the previously sync account? but still cant get into the screen setup??? please help... will this help???
disregard... all set
I have a question, dont really know where to ask. I have the tmobile j700t, and I've tried restoring with odin, (with the j700t firmware of course) and im not sure if its doing everything. Everything seems to go fine in odin, flashes boot, modem, system etc. reboots, rebuilds cache, then it just goes to my original lock screen with my custom wallpaper and all my apps still on. I can do a factory reset after, but it doesnt seem to do anything but clear the cache. Am I missing something? I enables OEM UNLOCK and USB debugging before hand.

When restoring with odin, it doesn't usually wipe the phone. Just replaces the firmware (which is the broad answer)
Flashing stock firmware over your rooted stock will remove root and usually nothing else.

I can't find the latest version anywhere? Can you link me? I can only find the latest T-Mobile variant.
I need help :/
I forgot that Snapchat doesn't work on rooted phones, so I had to once again flash back to stock.
The .tar file I used is the latest firmware according to smart switch, but I'm having issues I never had flashing back to stock with this phone.
My Video Calling is not working at all and I used it a LOT prior to this reflash. Used on both rooted and unrooted firmware.
As soon as I go to make the video call, it automatically beeps and says call ended.
I need a fix pleaaaaase.
Also, does anyone happen to know how to do the work around to have root AND snapchat working? I couldn't figure it out at all.
I cant put on a new topic yet, so I'll add this here because this is a thread about stock rom. (If it is useful, you can add it in the main post, whatever, idc)
This is stock rom for J700t1 MetroPCS (J700T1TMK2APK6_CL9815749_QB11667268_REV00) im uploading this for You because it was hard for me to find and get these files.
This is a ROM consisting of 4 files to use in odin (BL, AP, CP, CSC)
its on mediafire site -> /file/92nluibqr3u7nqr/J700T1TMK2APK6_CL9815749_QB11667268_REV00.zip

Change CSC on my brand new N960F

Hi everyone.
My wife just offered me the Note 9 (yeah great present I know), but this is a carrier version, the exact CSC is N960FBOG2ARI7 (I'm from France).
I don't use this carrier, and I have a lot a limitations, like no VolTE, no WIfi Calling (I use it a lot at the office), no Call recording, and I am not sure if I ever will have the Pie update...
My question has been asked a lot, I am aware of that. But since I don't have multi CSC phone, what can I do ?
1) Is there a way to change the CSC to XEF whithout breaking Knox ?
2) How about future updates ?
3) Is it supposed to solve my limitations ?
4) Do I need to believe in Santa Claus ?
Thanks again, because I've read a lot of tutorials, and I'm note sure it applies to my case, so I'm a bit lost.
Nobody got the same scenario ?
flashing other n960F firmware dosent touch knox. (if you had read then you would have know this)
SO just flash:
DBT firmware (XEF should be in there)
Checking firmware for SM-N960F/DBT/N960FXXS2ARL3/N960FOXM2ARK2/N960FXXU2ARL2/N960FXXS2ARL3

LogicValue: mo5wmebbso58kput
you can use sam firm tool 0.3.6 to downlaod the zip and flash using odin v 3.13.1
Thanks for the answer.
But is it gonna solve my problem ?
That's my main concern.
If not, I'm gonnna pass all the trouble.
Ok I'm gonna answer to myself if that can help someone.
I flashed a DBT ROM, just like bober10113 said, and everything works : XEF CSC, VolTE, Wifi Calling, Knox is ok... The only thing I am wondering is about new updates. I don't know if I'm gonna have to sideload.
Thanks.
Any update here - does changing the CSC present a problem for other functionality in the device if using here in the US?

Note 9 SM-N960U - Pie Update - No Internet While Calling - No LTE

I recently upgraded my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 SM-N960U to Android Pie 9.0 - One UI Version: 1.0 - Baseband Version: N960USQS1CSD1 - Build Number: PPR1.180610.011.N960USQs1CSD1 - Security Patch: April 1, 2019 and now i cannot surf the internet while on a call, and don't have LTE as well. I've been searching the web trying to find the resolution.
I will reluctantly downgrade back to Oreo 8.1 if needed and have Odin downloaded but finding all the correct software needed to do so plus the Oreo 8.1 version for my model is a pain as well, and i haven't done this for sometime either.
Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks ahead of time!

arent there any May patches ?(btw june updates should be right around the corner...if not alredy out)
so pretty sure there is. just flash a may or june update.
you can download stock firmware via web sites which can be slow or via frija:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/how-to/tool-frija-samsung-firmware-downloader-t3910584
then extract zip when its finished dling and flash via odin 3.13.1
there is more than enough documentation about all of this in xda,google,YouTube....etc
so all in all try and flash a new firmware instead of an old one.
try resetting ure device also( wipe data) before flashing.

xaa wont have any bloatware(extra crap apps) but might be missing carrier specifics like volte, wificalling and other feature specific to Verizon .
start with VZW and if that works out well then stay on it.
so u should have entered in the app:
SM-N960U
and
VZW
once the big 3 or 4 gig zip is finsied dling, extract it and in odin fill in all corresponding Slots...BL,AP,CP,CSC
for csc use csc.md5 and not home_csc.md5 for best results. but it also might erase all ure data so be sure to backup ure stuff first.
also, ull need samsung android drivers so that odin recognize the phone under a com X device when u plug it in.( odin will show it connected as com and a number.)
https://mega.nz/#!V5JzBSyL!ThSDNSn5-4iTJ6rJKlCeN1l1z9gBDM7UnPBdgbRn0zk
edit u can also install samsung smart switch have the drivers auto install and use the software to backup fone. so that might the best case for you

sammobile is very slow.
try updato.com
thers an other utility:
samfirm tool 0.3.6
i needs some dot .net and or vcredist versions to be installed though. i think the log window would state which you need:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Updato is garbage too.
samfrew maybe?
anyways both samfirm tool and frija work fine and fast for me..
Update: Note 9 SM-N960U - Pie Update - No Internet While Calling - No LTE
I figured I'd post a update. I never had luck with Pie period. Been reading VoLTE has been disabled on Pie updates but still available.. I don't have it. So it's either go back to Oreo or find a app that I can access it and enabled it. Either way, thanks for all the comments...

Questions regarding my Galaxy Note 8

Hello!
A few days ago i purchased a "new" galaxy note 8 on ebay. the offer said that it would be a N950F. So does it say in the settings.
After setting up the phone I tried to update the phone to the newest firmware via the OTA option in the settings.

"Your current software version isn't supported. visit a service center."
Current version: n950fxxu4dsd1/n9500zzh4dsd/n950u5dsd3
Security patch level: March 1, 2019
So I tried to flash a newer stock firmware via odin which didn't work either cause it would either get stuck while initializing or fail after establishing a connection.
I dug a bit deeper and installed PHONE INFO SAM from the playstore to see what's up with this phone.
This is what I found out so far:
BL: N950USQU7DSK3
PDA: N950FXXU4DSD1
CSC: N9500ZZH4DSD1
On top of everything it says in the settings that the phone is a SM-N950F which is a european version of the phone which uses an exynos processor.
But this phone according to Phone Info Sam is a SM-N9500 which uses the msm8998 wich is the snapdragon 835.
So the settings say it is a N950F but in reality it is a N9500.
What does this all mean and what should I do with this phone?
Get a refund?
Can i change the csc somehow and flash a european firmware?
Try changing just the csc with odin. See if that works. Then check for the update. Hope that helps.
I'd return it. As you may have been sold a frankenstein unit made with miss match Note 8 parts.

Hello!
A few days ago i purchased a "new" galaxy note 8 on ebay. the offer said that it would be a N950F. So does it say in the settings.
After setting up the phone I tried to update the phone to the newest firmware via the OTA option in the settings.

Return the phone ASAP it's not "new" it's using a bunch of random different hardware parts from several different phones and you'll never be able to update it or anything else. Not worth it.

Changing the CSC unfortunately won't help anything because the phone was put together using a bunch of different parts from a few different phones hardware parts. They'll never be able to flash any firmware updates or anything else.
Mr Mike is spot on. This is why if I buy from Ebay I ask seller to send pics of about phone. Send that Frankenstein thing back.

If your BL is N950U then its a US model phone. The other stuff was just able to be flashed because of my root method on the N950U so thats why pda and csc don’t match. The phone can be flashed with any V7 US firmware. Then you can root from there or whatever you want
