Great guide but you should mention from where you got AT&T firmware for note 8. This firmware is not that easy to get.

Writing from the Edge of Galaxy S8+

It says still updating...but will do...I'm just not finished yet...that's why is says at the bottom to pm me and still adding thanks tomorrow...and samfirm will download the ATT files...also I did not host the ATT firmware as it is still directing to your link...if I host files I find them myself...you can also purchase a subscription to other VIP hosting sites and download the ATT firmware...I just haven't bit the bullet...and I have pointed several people to your same link....in various posts...in no way did I take credit for it...not to mention that you yourself have no mention of where you got it, unless you developed it yourself...lol....I will be hosting AT&T firmware that I get myself though...thanks for the pm...I appreciate it... I'll be sure to give you credit as "and others" in the guide...


Please if anyone feels that they should be mentioned...pm me...it takes a while to create a thread that is semi-professional and not just a single link...and I may leave things out unintentionally...a pm will allow for edits quietly and professionally...please enjoy and I do not require credit because all we are doing is sharing and contributing for the sake of enjoying our Note...

So I have a unlocked carrier Note 8. I flashed the AT&T firmware and still do not get Wi-Fi calling. VOLTE works but trying to setup Wi-Fi calling fails.

Factory reset from recovery...after reset back out to main recovery menu and select boot to bootloader...then flash using regular Odin

Recovery is Volume+ + Bixby + Power

I been on the phone with AT&T trying to get my imei whitelisted. I told them it was an AT&T phone. Running stock AT&T software. If I am running this software all my updates coming from AT&T now?

Someone said to add fota to apn using shortcut master lite to get OTA from ATT if you don't get OTA updates normally...but yeah if all is stock and working cohesively you should get OTA from them. If you are on unlocked and you just flashed csc and USERDATA files you may still get from Samsung...you just got ATT to whitelist the imei...

Some of the unlocked updates have came from carriers...though (it's kind of odd I looked at where my SPR SM-N950U1 came from and it was the same server that the Sprint s8+ updates came from...then I went back to just XAA and checked for the XAA SM-N950U1 and it was a Samsung server...so you may be getting ATT no matter what once your imei is rightfully registered...

So I just flashed the latest att firmware on my Verizon note 8 and just trying to get volte and wifi calling to work but no luck. I've read the combanation file is need to "carrier switch" but none of the combanation files seem like they go with the latest pie firmware? And help and or pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated

My Note 8 was purchased from ATT, then I unlocked it using a service, then I switched to T Mobile years later. When I switched to T Mobile, the firmware updated itself to T Mobile after I booted with a T Mobile SIM.

Now, I am trying to flash it to U1_XAA so that I can gift it to someone in China. However, after factory resets, even from the recovery menu, it fails almost immediately during flashing. Would you please guide me on how to get this flashed to U1_XAA? Or is it ok just to leave it the way it is (U_TMB) and send it out?

Thank you!

P.S. this is with Android Pie, since I got the update while I was still on ATT. I tried flashing with the patched Odin as well, same thing...
