Anyone have it? Anyone have any idea if it's the same version as Verizon? It's my understanding it's just the unlocked version. Open to flash any of the Qualcomm builds. But it runs Verizons network. Really just looking for any info anyone has on it.
Another thread about it got closed, but this is being posted in Q&A so this should not be closed.

i am working on trying to figure out which firmware can be flashed. and you need a unlock code for the sim lock
The Xfinity Mobile Samsung Note 8 (SM-N950U) is basically the same as the verizon branded phone. This means the bootloader is locked and will likely never be unlocked. This means you won't be able to install TWRP or load any of those custom roms
---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------
You should be able to root it using the SamFail method but unfortunately there are restrictions
For example Magisk not working and it will fail safety net check.
Anyone with Xfinity Mobile who might be curious about doing this, I have successfully obtained root using SAMFAIL method... Follow his instructions exactly as written! When the device restarts after the second part of this tutorial you might end up with a blue screen that restarts the phone and flashes blue over and over, what I did next was I downloaded this firmware http://updato.com/firmware-archive-s...3AFA163EE8F90B and flashed the Home CSC file alone using the normal version of Odin 3.12.7 that is included in his post (with the Comsy version that was used in the first two parts). My phone came with original firmware so just a heads up. After flashing Home CSC, phone booted normally and SuperSU worked. Make sure you give everyone in that post credit for the amazing work with bringing us an option for root in such a short amount of time! If you have any questions please let me know and I'll help you as best as I can.

Also curious about this. I'm looking at buying a used Xfinity Note 8, but am curious if it's carrier unlocked or not. Seller says it is paid off and he was using it on ATT without any issues. I know I can flash T-Mo or Unlocked firmware on it.

If seller paid it off and has entered the 2 unlock keys from xfinity you should have no problem. Mine works great on Verizon

When info look at it, I'll pop in my T-Mo SIM and see what happens. If it's locked, I'm guessing I'll get the pop-up window to enter the unlock code.

Thats exactly what happens. If it's still asking for an unlock code. Make sure both were entered from xfinity. Don't let the seller tell you otherwise.

It is the unlocked model, but it's also sim locked to xfinity. I use it constantly. It only comes with about 5 apps from xfinity and no other bloatware.

The phone is carrier unlocked but Xfinity has it SIM locked to their SIM. If you send them a message or call them however, they will email you a unlock code within 3 days. I have a few phones with them and this is what I did, they are all SIM unlocked now
Man this phone is so good without root I can't imagine rooting it. Between Samsung Themes, and Substratum my phone is totally themed out.

Using xfinity note 8 with oreo full version want too downgrade back too nougate.
Hello everyone first thank you for reading and commenting on my post.
I have a xfinity mobile devicè that originally came with nougate 7.1.1 and I flashed it by sd card flash. I have a few bugs like 1. Security notification that keeps popping up all the time.
2. When watching you tube after a while the app get stuck and usually just have too restart and then works fine till the next time.
3. I cant send messages with pictures or videos thru stock messaging app from samsung. I can send text thru samsung message app. So I downloaded the Verizon message app and it works fine using that app because xfinity uses Verizon for carrier service LTE.
I am wondering first what is the exact correct firmware for xfinity mobile on note 8.?? Where can I get it from?
( I know the original firmware had a "j" in it) for nougate 7.1.1
If I cant fue the bugs on oreo 8.0 full version "please tell me how? Then...Next thing is I have oreo 8.0 with samsung experience 9.0 can I and how do I downgrade back to nougate correctly but I tryed and was unsuccessful. I tryed downloading a firmware off the internet and storing it and renaming it on sd card so I can flash it while in dfu mode. But it didnt work.
So bottom line is if I can just fix those bugs and stay on full version oreo 8.0 then please tell me how?
Otherwise please tell me how and where I can achieve downloading the exact firmware build for my phone and the samsung experience 8.0.? I need too know if its possible and where too get everything from and instructions how? Thank you all my XDA friends

Xfinity Boot Screen After Unlock
I have a Xfinity Note 8. I paid to have it unlocked so I could sell it easier. I have flashed many S8, S8+ but no Note 8 or Xfinity. Typically after an unlock, with a new SIM it would carrier flash after reboot. This one does not. I used my sons Verizon SIM no problem but it still had the Xfinity splash screen and apps. Could I resolve this through flashing with oden? I’m afraid to try since this is the first Xfinity phone I’ve come across. Any help or tips is appreciated!

You would have to reflash the Note 8 with the carrier unlocked firmware. The one you would buy from Samsung where there would be no carrier branding you would get the firmware from XDA Developers and they would provide guys in tutorials and how to flash the non carrier-branded firmware to the Note 8

Using Samfirm, what region would I enter? OR, If I download from SamMobile, should I just use the USA version. I see mine SM-N950USQ3BRA6 listed as (Unknown).
I would like the phone to carrier flash with each SIM so they buyer won't be intimidated. With the other phones if done this with, usually other S8, S8+, I haven't had to do it but twice for AT&T S8's. For some reason those in particular will sometimes not recognize the SIM even after unlocking and flashing through SamFirm and Oden has done the trick. I'm sort of a newb. I used to flash ROMS years ago but recently find myself buying and selling for profit. Thanks for your help!!
I'll try later and post my results.
Hello,
I've been trying to find my answers on how to flash a AT&T GS9 SM-G960U with a T-Mobile S9 Stock Firmware\ROM.
I found this thread and although it's fairly close to what I am trying to do, I didn't want to post this there because they are talking about flashing U1 to U and I'm not sure if that is what I need to do exactly. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/how-to/how-to-flash-u1-firmware-to-device-t3765200 from this thread, I've followed the initial steps and although Odin (Moded Odin v3.13.1 Raymonf ) tells me that the flash passed, upon reboot, the phone does not have the TMO firmware, it's still the original AT&T firmware. The only thing that it did do was add the TMO Visual VM icon\app.
I was informed of being able to download the TMO firmware from here: https://www.droiddosh.com/2018/04/samsung-galaxy-s9-sm-g960u-firmware-tmobile-usa-G960USQU1ARBG.html
Am I doing something wrong here? It seems that maybe these US models do not offer the OEM Bootloader unlocker option in developer settings unless you purchase the U1 version direct from Samsung that does not have a locked boot loader? I got this phone at no cost so that is also why I did not purchased from Samsung directly.
Any guidance and help would be appreciated.
Thank you
US carrier models have locked bootloaders, no way to root or install custom roms.
We should be able to flash between carrier versions/CSCs like we could with the S8, but the process is different and I've only read of a few people finding success in trying. The voicemail app you're seeing is due to flashing the T-Mobile userdata partition. This is the bloat partition - doesn't actually change device features, etc.
Any chance anybody has success doing this? It seems like a "Must Have" feature to switch carrier roms on the G960U between carriers, including Boot Screen/Logo, Firmware, Bloatware, etc.
All the goodies.
Any help?
Thank you,
I've done it!

I've completed this task tonight thanks to some great help from a user that stepped me through it on a TMO Forum.
First an FYI, I first was able to flash my AT&T S9 version from SM-960U to a Stock SM-960U1. It worked great. After that, I was able to flash the TMO Rom and it's also working perfect. I'm not sure if it's required or not to flash the phone to a U1 first or if the TMO Rom can just be flashed. After I flashed the TMO firmware, I had no issues downloading and installing the latest TMO update. (My device is unlocked as well)
It's best to use Samsung switch first to backup your texts, pics, etc. first if you want to restore them to the device after completing the flash. The below instructions will start the phone up as if it was new out if the box.
Here is what I was provided with and the steps I followed.
To Flash the SM-G960U to a SM-G960U1
1. Allow\Enable USB Debugging in Developers settings.
2. Download the U1 Firmware here: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=257063
(this is the U1 from Samsung, it's compressed but once extracted it will be around 4GB's of data.)
3. Download the ADB tools: https://devfiles.co/download/PDYvOWBg/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip. Create a folder on your desktop and name it ADB (for easy reference)
4. Download Odin: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10dSyPTuccP8Km9MnDrvbRdS-CAcgFZB3/view
5. From windows, run command prompt, in the command prompt type the following: cd C:\Users\XXX\Desktop\ADB
(XXX is your username)
6. Connect your phone to a USB port on your computer, your phone should prompt you to allow the connection to\from your computer. Allow the connection. Might be best to choose to "Always Allow"
7. Return to the command prompt and type in: adb devices You should see your device listed.
8. In the same command window, type in: adb reboot bootloader This will auto reboot your device into the "Download" mode.
9. Open and run Odin, add the corresponding tar files to the respective area's, in the "options tab" in Odin, make sure that only "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" is checked.
Click "Start" and the process will take a few minutes to complete.
Allow the device a few minutes to auto reboot and start up.
After you get through all the post boot setup screens, open a phone dial pad and type in, *#2263#. then make sure that all LTE bands are enabled.
Here you can find the SM-G960U T-Mobile Files: https://www.droiddosh.com/2018/04/samsung-galaxy-s9-sm-g960u-firmware-tmobile-usa-G960USQU1ARBG.html
Switching from U -> U1 -> U
B"H
Ok, thank you.
1. So stock G960U (Original Carrier) -> Flash to U1 -
2. Then, Go from G960U1 -> Stock G960U (Any Carrier)
Few questions:
1. Which CSC file are you using to flash -- CSC_HOME?
2. In moving from U1 -> U, do you need the final carrier SIM inside the phone?
I've tried this with a Verizon phone I'd like to convert to XFinity (CCT). I flashed the G960U VZW to G960U1 XXA. That worked fine. Then I flashed the G960U CCT rom, and the phone just boots up Verizon. When I check the CSC, it says "VZW/VZW/VZW", even though I flashed the CCT rom.
I don't have an XFinity sim card, so perhap that is the problem.
Any help would be great.

You most likely will need a Xfinity Sim Card. I was able to convert my Xfinity Mobile S9 to AT&T by going to U1 firmware then inserting my AT&T sim card then flashing the AT&T U firmware.

Does anyone know if you have to have the phone unlocked before changing over carriers? for example if i had a Galaxy S9 from Sprint and wanted to change the firmware to T-Mobile would it work or would it still be locked to Sprint? Thanks for your Help!

I would check if your phone is already unlocked, Most Verizon phones come unlocked (unless you bought them from a Verizon Tent at Cosco or stores like that) Just put in another carriers sim card and check, if it is unlocked then you shouldnt have to flash anything, once you put in a different carrier sim it will tell you to restart your phone and once you do it will come up with the new carriers splash logo and apps

In my experience all the carrier S9s are locked. You will need an unlock code from your carrier or an unlocking service.
Noob here: I’ve read that all US S9 models are the same in terms of hardware, is that true? Would that mean if I change the firmware from verizon to T-Mobile, it’ll be fully compatible?

Yes! All 965U's, 965U1's, and 965W's are the exact same hardware, just different firmware.
For those of you that use TMO or U1 firmware on an unlocked ATT phone on TMO network, do you get a <Subject: NoSubject> before other people's texts in group texts? I've tried flashing U and U1 firmware several times as well as factory reset without being able to get rid of the subject line. Anyone have any insight or suggestions?
I was able to go from U1 to the att firmware. My question is why does samsung pass not work? I can see that the knox is not tripped and google play store is certified. Device status says official. Device is not rooted but Samsung pass thinks it is rooted. Why would this happen when all I did was install the carrier bundle?
(Newbie) doing what jrockz3000 did would allow root to be possible?

Im also looking for a solution for this. SamKey's paid service is apparently supporting this but im unsure of the method their software uses and its a paid service. Users in Australia (like me) are having issues with RCS services through Telstra (TEL) because the Open Variant bought direct from Samsung not having the correct CSC. Some users have reported changing the CSC through SamKey successfully.
I have tried flashing with Telstra firmware but no luck.

I initially did *#272*IMEI# and was able to switch between CSC. When I switched to XAA, I was stuck and could not able to use the *#272*IMEI# anymore.. So I had XAA/XAA/ATT.. I saw many were stuck.
Found a solution that worked for me is as follows. Try at your own risk.
Downloaded the tool from
https://www.mysterious-dev.com/2020/05/changecsc-all-samsung-free-tool-android.html
and downloaded the ChangeCSC Software tool.. . watched the video couple of times.. The process lets you install custom THEME.. I was getting "Update" "Delete" and "Buy" ..
What did was
install another random theme
then went back to the program and clicked change CSC again
this time when I choose the custom theme pack, I saw the "Try now".. after that I followed the instruction to about phone->legal and clicked on CHANGE Carrier Android 10 and VOILA!!! I got that CSC change page.. I saw XAA was selected and I changed to TMB... after that "Sales& Network Code Change" and clicked ok.. .The phone restarted and saw the T-Mobile logo!!!!
I even tried the *#272*IMEI# and this time it worked and showed me the CSC screen!!!
Hope this helps anyone who is stuck...My phone now says TMB/TMB/ATT!!!

Hello,
Prior to doing the process. I used smartswitch and backed up my phone completely.. I also did factory reset the phone.. *** Since I was going to use a new method/tool, I was not sure so wanted to make sure it does not interfere with any existing account/app on the phone. Once I was able to get to the CSC screen and changed to TMB, I went back again to make sure do a factory wipe and start complete fresh out. Hope this helps. Good luck!

The Mysterious Dev tool that you mentioned, when the tool was changing the CSC, did the tool factory reset your phone and wipe it?

Hey Guys,
Just wanted to check whether any working methods are around to change the CSC of a Note 10+
Couldn't find any guides apart from the ones which are in Note 9 Sections.
Any support on this is much appreciated!

hmm.. don't recall if it wiped.. I already had T-Mobile sim inside.. so when I saw the CSC selection page and as soon I choose TMB it restarted and came with T-Mobile splash Page, at that point I know it worked, so before even finishing up the boot process, I rebooted in recovery and did the factory reset

I had to do the CSC changing today and it simply rebooted and displayed the new CSC logo. It was with AT&T and when I change it to TMB. I get the T-Mobile boot logo.. I was able to get back in to the device without loosing any data.. The CSC showed TMB/TMB/TMB.. But I noticed the ringer/notifications sound still remained the AT&T settings. So to answer your initial question, my phone didn't get wiped out when switching the CSC.
Thx

After changing your CSC to TMB, are you getting TMB updates (OTA) or ATT updates?

I have found *some* Samsung models can still change CSC via firmware flash in Odin by following these pre requisites...
- disable find my phone
- sign out of Google and samsung accounts
- developer mode .... enable oem unlock
- flash a single CSC stock firmware in odin (do not use home-csc)
- phone will be completely wjped but after first boot and running setup, CSC will be change to match new firmware
Have any one tried

Hey guys new to the forum. I have purchased an unlocked note 10+. I was wanting to flash ATT firmware to it so I could have wifi calling video calling etc.. Anyways I have tried this multiple times with no success. I have downloaded what I thought was the right firmware but it still boots up with the samsung logo. When I use odin it says PASS and everything. Can anyone help me out here..?
You need to start from a reset phone. start phone with att sim. it will provision phone and restart. THEN flash att firmware. should boot up to att logo.

So I need to start at the beginning with a factory reset phone with a att sim installed? Also could you tell me where and what firmware to download for Odin?
yes. start from fresh reset in unlocked phone. then you will need to enable "usb debugging" , flash att firmware. (in "guides, news, and discussion" a post by iBowToAndroid) That is what I did to flash att firmware on my unlocked note10+. WiFi calling still does not work, hopefully a call to att will fix this.
Unless the IMEI is within a series in the AT&T system, no amount of calls or fiddling with the firmware will enable it. Even if you manage to get the AT&T boot logo, your carrier features won't enable. I'm speaking from experience dating back to the Note 9 and as recently as attempting with my wife's Note 10 upgrade. If you have a non-AT&T branded device, it will not provision the carrier features. At best, they'll be enabled for a day or so, maybe until a restart.

Does video calling work?

As I stated above, it will not. At best, it'll work for a timeframe of hours to a few days (or until reboot).

Has anyone flashed the retail/retus image from mirrors.lolinet.com on this to use with a different carrier? Boost requires you to use their services for 12 months before you're eligible for network unlocking
It will most likely work
I can confirm that flashing retus to the Boost variant works fine to unbrand the device.

Any issues with connecting to the network or lte? Or is everything running like it normally should? Cause if so that's very interesting

Worked fine on the Boost network when I tried it.
Flashing RetUS firmware
Earlier this month I picked up a Boost Moto G Fast. I was disappointed to find how much bloatware came with it and that it doesn't include WiFi calling. I have not unlocked the bootloader while I decide if I want to keep this phone or not.
I just downloaded RetUS firmware from lolinet.com.
Do you have instructions for flashing this firmware? I couldn't find any for this phone so I was planning to tweak the instructions for flashing the Moto G7 series at https://forum.xda-developers.com/g7-power/how-to/guide-moto-g7-power-supra-flash-to-t3927138
Any idea if I can flash this without unlocking the bootloader? I'm assuming the factory image is signed by Motorola and should be accepted by the bootloader without unlocking.
Do you have to wipe userdata after flashing or can you keep your apps and data intact since the firmware should be the same version?
Does the RetUS firmware support WiFi calling?
I'll probably be able to answer these questions myself soon enough but I thought I'd ask first.
So after flashing the retus firmware myself on my moto g fast from boost mobile, inserting my active SIM card from tmobile did not work and the uicc said it's still lock to sprint network so I don't believe we can get network unlock simply by flashing different firmware on this

I found instructions for flashing Sofia here, should also apply to Rav: https://www.droidwin.com/install-stock-firmware-on-motorola-g8-power-via-fastboot-commands/

Nope. I bricked my phone trying. Do not attempt to flash anything without unlocking the bootloader first.
Flashing the the firmware doesn't remove the carrier lock. Currently have mine on RETUS stock and it still says it's on the Sprint network and the software channel says "Boost."
Unfortunately it doesn't look like there is anyone out there able to unlock these devices either.
I also been trying to work with this...no avail. So far:
Unlocked bootloader since unboxing in December...thanks Motorola developers..
I lost count on how many times I bricked this phone.... probably 7..
I sent it over to MX last month to see how it behaved. They couldn't activate. "Phone is too new'...WTH..
Now is sitting on my night stand. With games apps, Kodi...just waiting to be flashed again. PS: I hate you boost mobile!!

I switched away from Boost back in December and recently switched back, so now I can answer this question. No, the RetUS firmware does not support WiFi calling.
