This person is from Sweden. There is no opportunity to get official update. AT&T allows download to its customers only.

He could flash the G892U firmware and call it a day (and get OTAs natively (iirc))

It's been speculated that the radio is different. Therefore, it could be a risk to flash it.
As long as the bootloader is the same it should flash fine, you'll need a modded Odin to do so however, https://drive.google.com/open?id=1cFvAWFX4E5aqoKqSTR_Nf4h3HgzHUgY7
If it doesn't flash at all, say because of a PIT error, don't try to flash it any further.

Thanks guys, i'll try the first solution, and if i'm not satisfied of if something goes wrong i'll get back to you and probobly ask more questions about the U-firmware.
Has anyone tried flashing S8 active unlocked firmware yet? And if so, is there a link to download?

Thanks again, i finally got around to try to update.
but i get failed in odin after it has verified the files.
but i read somewhere that i should not load the userdata file into the ums slot, is that correct or is thefile damaged?
i want to do a full restore with ARA1 as instructed above and then a manual update fropm sd card
thanks
User data shouldn't be used at all but this is not a problem. Loading it will double and mix some operator related apps and settings (at&t and t-mobile). Still it can be loaded with no error in Odin. Please check if you are doing everything correct. Are you doing it from "Download" mode?

Ok, so dont load anything into userdata, only the other 4 files, BL, AP, CP and CSC_ATT
Yes i'm in Download mode. Is there a specific version of Odin that i should use? I can see that there are several different versions about. The one i'm using is v3.12.7. And when i tried i did not run odin "as Administrator, should that be a problem?
4 files is correct. I used 3.13.1. Never ran as administrator. Try to use another usb port. Heard that USB3 is not always good. One guy here mentioned he managed to upload firmware on another computer. Check for other software could interfere with USB comunication. Is CRC check OK?
Hi, The ARA1-to-BRC5 link is not working, can anyone send me the file please?
Just wanted to thank you guys for all help.
I managed to get everything workin at last.
I embarresed to say but i think it was me not enabeling USB debugging mode in Developer settings.
But anyhow, thanks a lot!

Good to hear you've done it!
Maybe it's a computer hardware/software specific issue but I've never had USB debugging enabled. Still it is mentioned in Odin "how to" guide.
