Hey there, looking to change my firmware from N950W to N950U, from my understanding its a US firmware (Mine is Rogers Canada) both are Snapdragon, are there any compatibility issues I could run into?

Build I'm looking to go to is N950USQS2BQK2
My current build is N950WVLU2BQJA

I'm coming from the Pixel XL it's been awhile since I've done anything with Samsung devices, last one was a Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition!

There are some who have tried and succeeded...I cannot confirm though...but if you want to try yourself follow this guide...the switching carrier guide:

Officially it is meant for SM-N950U and SM-N950U1 devices though...make sure to use updated files and perform factory reset after Odin of factory binary
