How do i change Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus, AT&T version ??


Dear Experts!

I have received this Samsung Galaxy as a gift.

Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus, 64GB, AT&T, Came from USA
Model: SM-G955U
Its build number is G955USQU1AQC9, Made in Korea

Now, I don't like this T Carrier, Sprint, or Verizon, and in fact i don't what they mean or how they are different from "Normal" version of Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus.

So, my questions are
1. What these T Carrier, Sprint mean?? How are they different from normal phones?
2. I want to make it normal phone. Is it possible to upgrade the firmware or anything? [N.B: I worked with Odin before]

I would appreciate any help i get.
Thank you already.

Sincerely
Mahmud

Hello!

First of all, to your first Question:
These are Brands made for carriers located inside the United States...There Firmware includes the Software "Bloatware", and we don't tend to like it either!!

Second, you can try to flash the following firmware into the device....
This SHOULD "UNBRAND" is and create an unlocked version!

There is a chance this could mess something up, so make sure you write down or take pictures of the Details in the ABOUT Phone screen...Specifically:

Device Serial Number S/N
Build Version
Baseband Version
and Carrier it is made for.

Here is the UNBRANDED Firmware:

BINARY SM-G955U1 OYM Firmware

Make Sure you use ODIN v3.12.3 or above!!

I use the 4 Files loaded into the Matching slots:

THEN i use the following option to completely restore the device to FACTORY:

Auto-Reboot
NAND Erase All
Re-Partition
F. Reset Time
Phone Bootloader Update
Phone EFS Clear

after your done...It should be Unbranded and ready to GO!

IF you have any issues, let me know...i will need the INFO to help you get it back!! GOOD LUCK!
