[Question] How to debrand AT&T to unlocked firmware

[xXHITMANXx508]

Hey Guys,

I tried searching unsuccessfully for some answers on flashing stock unlocked firmware. I want to debloat and receive updates straight from Samsung and not AT&T. Do you guys now of any guides floating around? Or which firmware to flash (SM-N950u1) <-- Unlocked firmware?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I used this guide to flash my AT&T Note8 to Stock Unlocked Firmware https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/guide-sm-n950u-u1-t3685884

Pretty straight forward and afterwards no AT&T bloat. I even get better battery life.

What security patch are you on? Do you get OTA updates or do you have to manually update? Do you get LTE and LTE-A signals?

I'm on the August security patch only because I'm still debating on if I want to root or not as the newest security patch kills the possibility of root. As for OTA updates, there was one released a month or so back and I was able to update to it with no problems. As for LTE and LTE-A which I assume is LTE+? I get both with the same if not better speeds and signal strength.

Do you know if the unlocked software is updated to the newest patch yet? I'm trying to figure out which version gets the updates first.

Carrier gets updates first ... XAA update has Nov patch
