    Post G988U and G988U1 Firmware Links and Flashing Discussion Here

    LTE+ is 5Ge. The 5Ge symbol is a marketing gimmick by AT&T in their ads and firmware and is nothing more than fast LTE.

    Post [HOW TO] Flash U1 firmware to U device

    The U1 firmware will allow wifi tethering. You are still at the mercy of any data limits from your carrier but tethering will work fine.

    Post where can I find a USB charging port for the G955FD.?

    Depending on how often and where you charge picking up a wireless charging station and just using that is also an option.

    Post [Snap.] Guide for Flashing Standard FW, Carrier Switching, and Flashing Unlocked FW

    It looks like you are trying to install a bootloader V2 firmware but the phone is already on 3. Grab a V3 firmware from fw.updato.com and see if that works. You can go up bootloader numbers but cannot go down.

    Post bypass hotspot/tethering on oreo

    That's a great idea with the laptop. Your best bet when going unlocked is to start fresh so that would be a bummer. I can confirm that you still get OTAs.

    Sounds like something is off with your location settings. Do those apps have permission to access your location?

    Post [Snap.] Guide for Flashing Standard FW, Carrier Switching, and Flashing Unlocked FW

    Yes, it works fine with the instructions on page one. The one exception is that you need to use 3.13.1 patched Odin instead of PrinceCosmy.

    Post Why isn’t the wireless charging applied everywere yet?

    You partially answered your own question, but I think there's more to it. It has to be designed in to the phone as well so there is additional cost. Charging cables come with phones, but wireless chargers don't so people would have to buy those at additional cost. There is a little bit of...

    Post unlocked US Cellular S8+ on ATT

    That may be true of US Cellular, they do seem to be pretty customer friendly. I had interpreted that the device will configure the hardware to operate on whatever carrier's SIM is in, but not the firmware. However, I have not tried this with mine. I do have a branded S8 that I have put unlocked...

    Post unlocked US Cellular S8+ on ATT

    It is unlikely to work that way. After you purchase you will need to have US Cellular unlock the phone. If buy it outright, they may do that but you will want to check with them first. If you buy it unlocked as mentioned in the title it should be ok. Once the phone is unlocked there is no...

    Post Flashing from VZW to XAC ?

    Flashing your phone with the Canadian firmware will remove the Verizon bloatware, but will not carrier unlock the phone. That is to say the unlocked firmware is not an unlocked phone. I find this post incredibly helpful...

    Unless you have modified the phone in some way, you should not need to do anything to receive OTA updates.

    Post bypass hotspot/tethering on oreo

    You can replace AT&T firmware with the unlocked firmware and native hotspot will work. However you will lose VoLTE and Visual Voicemail. FoxFi wifi direct works pretty well if you only need it for web browsing and to connect a couple of devices. However if you want things like Xbox it won't work...
