Flash back to VZW firmware? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

I'm new to Android and flashing. I flashed the unlocked firmware but how do I go back to the VZW firmware?
I've found one on updato but even though it's labeled as VZW it was T-Mobile firmware.

Question about updating rooted S3 I747M using Odin

I have a rooted SIII on Bell Canada, the I747M, on 4.1.1. I want to get rid of root by updating it to 4.1.2 but in order to do that I have to use Odin since it is rooted.
So I went to this website:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SGH-I747M
And found the file I needed, but the baseband listed for it is different from my baseband. The baseband listed for the 4.1.2 Bell I747M firmware on that website is I747MVLDMF1, while the baseband on my phone currently is I747MVLDLK4. Can I still use the 4.1.2 firmware with the different baseband to update through Odin?
Also, what settings should I use on Odin?

European stock firmware

I screwed my phone with latest update. Where do I find latest firmware or factory image?

Flash Active with stock Verizon or Unlocked verision (G930U) of FW?

Is it possible? Tried this using latest Odin with "failed (auth)" error. It seems Active is using boot loader version 2 while the other models are using version 4 already. However I thought boot loader upgrade is allowed?
Thanks.
I'm looking for the answer. Hope we get help...
what are you wanting from a stock Verizon firmware ?
If you're trying to flash a regular S7 firmware onto an Active you're asking for a bricked phone.
I'm looking to remove bloatware. It's been done on all other S7 variants.
flash the combination file then flash the csc from the verizon s7 g930v using mobile odin then dial *#243203855# and choose the vzw then choose full installation then flash the stock firmware back
Can your further explain? Will this flash Verizon firmware?

Unlocked Verizon Question

So when my Verizon 975U unlocked after the 60 days, I flashed the U1 firmware. I tried to go back to Verizon firmware so I could accept the update to try out A10 but Odin kept failing. I looked it up and it says the downloaded version and bootloader is older than installed. Is there any work around? I have downloaded the stock OEM 975U firmware from Sammobile. I'm using the U1 with December Security Patch. Thanks

Regrettably that is not possible.
You can flash firmware that has a bootloader version equal to (or higher) then what is currently on your phone.
You can not flash firmware that has a bootloader version less then what is currently on the phone.
In the future remember to take note of the bootloader version you have and that of the firmware your trying to flash. The bootloader is the number that is 5 characters in (starting at the far right as character number 1, count left for a total of 5 characters. The number you see is the bootloader version) when you look at the baseband version.

Software update

Hello all,
I am on my third Galaxy Note 10 plus from At&t as my phone will not update OTA to the latest version of Android. I have called customer service probably about seven to eight times and they say they push the update but I never get it. I have looked but don't see my build firmware on the Sam site so I'm not sure what to do next? Any thoughts from anyone? Thanks in advance
At&t does not post their firmware, why I do not know. I had this issue with my Note 8..Note 9...and now Note 10 plus. All the carrier firmware is the same. Just download the latest firmware and flash with Odin. The firmware will provision to your At&t sim. No need to wait for OTA's

Where
Hi do you know where I can find these firmware links along with odin?
Sammobile has the firmware and Odin. Frija is best much faster to load the firmware. You can get the correct version of odin that you need from Sammobile, Frija only has the latest firmware whereas sammobile has numerous versions. Just remember once you upgrade your bootloader there is no flashing back to a previous version unless the bootloader is the same. So if your bootloader is U1 or S1 and flash to U2 or S2 you cant go back to 1. The only time you can flash back is if say Pie is U1 or S1 and the version of Android 10 is still U1 or S1.

While you can load any version, if you don't load a version that ATT released, you'll be in the same boat with it not updating next month. You should see what version att currently has, and load that version. Make sure to use HOME CSC to avoid a wipe.
No need to wait for ota when you can just flash it. Actually I think the only At&t firmware posted for 10 plus on Sammobile is the U1 unlocked firmware.
