Yep sure did nothing will get any AP files to stick without a failing. I'm still trying and I've been up for a couple days to figure this out. If someone figures it out or I figure it out please update as I will be doing so also. You
Just wait. Looks like note 8 receive update today with bootloader v2. S8+ will be next , then I get you Odin files with bootloader v2. Soon as s8+ get update I will get you Odin files.

I have a private party who messaged me the QK5 update.
Here is my problem I cannot get anything to stick to the system unless it's BL with the abl.elf files removed. Actually all .elf files I remove then flash. Everything else gives me an authentication failure or a model mismatch. I can only get into download mode and nothing else. How would I flash what I need to to get back?

You need Odin files. Like I said "WAIT"

OTA update FOTA

I did the July 1 AQF7 update, it ran quickly at only 133mb (it did complete 100%), rebooted my phone. My phone wasn't wiped of its data which was odd, nor was the update applied. The phone is still running at AQC9.......WTF??
Hi, I have been attempting to modify these old patch updates to make my own FOTA update and was wondering how do you extract the file_context.bin? I had changed the ext to .txt to attempt to figure out the encoding (majority of it is text). I had attempted to make my own file_context (dir /d /s wordpad change C:\ ect to just folder contents encoded base 64 changed extension to .bin and still no luck. Im on update JC the latest as of now and had changed the Updater Script user release key to just JC for update GL and had taken the abort out of the updater Script. My Galaxy S8+ is G955u and had but no longer has OEM unlock under developer options. Secure boot is stuck on as well as secure download FRP is off no luck with odin. In recovery I get signature verification wrong in footer. On unmodified udates I get verification whole signature failed 0x00. DO I have to wait for a new Update then modify based upon previous Updates? Heres some android tools I had been using for the past 5 years...drive.google.com/open?id=1sGHq-6Zq9ka3XGPPk Sinple windows tools old adb Need updated ect...Fiddler Allows URL tracking/ parsing of phone sessions Check link docs.telerik.com/fiddler/Configure-Fiddler/Tasks/ConfigureForAndroid

That actually makes sense to me that you'd have some issues. These updates are diff type updates, and that's why they rely on a specific version to be already installed. They don't have everything in them, just the minimum to bump you up a version.

Cool with though, maybe with more time and more mins3 working on it, we could get more custom updates by including the necessary files in the package.

Ive tried normal update with build.prop.p included in the update from my phone and the initial update doesn't update as I am on that version for OTA updates leads me to believe the OTA doesn't install basd upon it being made for GL to update to JC so I think ill have to wait for JC update to modify OTA. Thanks though

I am actually experiencing very similar things on my phone, except I have no recovery. I flashed the test runner a couple days ago and everything was fine until boom! Everything went haywire. My ailments are no matter the firmware and Odin I flash I still get FAIL (AUTH) Or I get the able.elf failure and when I look at the screen during the failure I get the red lettering SW REV BLAH BLAH... ATT I WON'T GIVE ME A WARRANTY OR allow my insurance to cover another device. To hell with ATT! But I also have been trying to create files within the OTA updates so I could patch things and get moving with my phone. But I think noBarb would've provided us with those AP,BL,CP,CSC FIles if it could've been done.all we can do is sit back and wait now.b

OK. You can check or download any update by your self. I'm out of game so all of you can play. I don't know how long this will work since they will sniff this out and close proxy for this User-Agent.
Instruction how to :
1. Download Agent-User Switcher for Chrome extension from HERE
2. Right click on globe in Chrome in right top corner.
3. Click options
4. Add new and create group with name " Downloads"
5. Then create new User-Agent
6. In name : Download 1
7. In User-Agent : NS-223-23?2345998(iPhoneOS11)SN/86334
8. Save
9. Close user agent tub
10. Right click on globe again and choose Download -> Download 1
11. after browser reload try this link : https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/48926/1488/SS-G955USQU1AQJC-to-U2BQK6-UP

Good Luck.

Thread cleaned.

Accept responsibility for anything you flash here, if a problem happens please just leave a polite note.

If you run in to a user who is behaving poorly, report them, don't throw insults back at them.

Continued problems, will bring infractions, bans and an already grumpy sick jcase.
