I disassembled the firmware N950FXXU1AQI1_SER, specifically the part CSC = N950FOXM1AQHF, I see everything too, as the model SM-G950F / 955F, namely in the file cache.img there is an archive sec_omc.zip, where there are 78 regions, the default region is XEF ...
Perhaps this archive will be useful, well, someone will want to read more ...
The size of the archive is 528 MB, so you can not post it on the forum ...
laid outin Mail.ru Cloud: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/5gyi/NT5d2Pf7u
It is installed from the memory card by the stock recovery, since the archive has the original signature from Samsung ...

I haven't stitched something since the days of Android 4, and I'm certainly not familiar with the latest Samsung bells and whistles.

1. How do I understand Snapdragon and Exynos firmware are not compatible?
2. Is there an option to pull localization from one version to another? I see that there are 4 files used.
3. How do I understand Root access breaks Samsung Pay and Android Pay? Are there Knox Bit and everything?
4. If there is a detailed description of the firmware S8 / S8 + - it would be very grateful.

[vladseverrr]

Tln,
You are wrong topic.
If you have a Samsung Galaxy S8, then you are in the subjectSamsung SM-G950F Galaxy S8 - Official firmware
If the Samsung Galaxy S8 +, then hereSamsung SM-G955F Galaxy S8 Plus - Official firmware

You are wrong topic.

And if I have a Galaxy Note 8? So the topic I was not mistaken.

TLN @ 11.09.17, 23:05

So the topic I was not mistaken.

Your words

description on firmware S8 / S8 +

gave reason to make such a conclusion. In any case, this theme is for versions of the SM-N950F / FD. There are no themes for other versions yet.

With regards to your interest.
Yes, the firmware for Snapdragon and Exynos processors (respectively, and for different versions of the device) is different.
Getting root, as well as installing custom recovery, puts the knox counter into the 0x1 state, which makes it impossible to use Samsung Pay. Use Android Pay is possible.

P.S. Also, on the forum, the image is taken under a spoiler.Working with Images on the forum

[Tln]

vladseverrr
Thanks for the hidden image, got it.

As for S8 / S8 + I asked, because for now there is no information about Note8. How and what to sew there, we learn only a couple of weeks until the people on XDA razderbanit all the options.
It would be interesting to locate it somehow, but there seems to be no Varant. It is strange that in one menu there are translated and original items: "performance mode" and "Airplane mode for example".

[Snake71]

Talich52 @ 09/10/17, 21:14

since the archive has the original signature from Samsung ...

Greetings
therefore, it is impossible to view a couple of files: cscfeature.xml and cscfeature_network.xml?

[S4 *]

Maybe someone will come in handy ...

SamFirm is a program for searching and fast downloading the latest firmware versions.

INSTRUCTIONS:

For the program to work on your computer must be installed:

NET Framework 3.5 and Microsoft Visual C ++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)
You can download it from here:http: //www.microsoft.c...d/details.aspx? id = 5582

and Microsoft Visual C ++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)
You can download it from here:https: //www.microsoft...d/details.aspx? id = 5555

Archive with the program:
SamFirm_v0.3.6.zip(3.73 MB)


To find and download the firmware:

1. Unzip the downloaded archive with the program in any folder and run the program.

2. In field"Model"enterSM-N950F.

3. In field"Region"enter the one you want, for exampleSERor some other.

4. Tick ​​the box"Auto", and press"Check Update".
(For modelSamsung Galaxy Note8 SM-N950Fthe concept of single-file firmware is missing and all firmware are downloaded in a multi-file version. Therefore tickBinary natureYou can not install it in the program, since in any case a multi-file firmware will be downloaded).

There is one caveat about searching and downloading firmware in modes"Auto"and"Manual":

The SamFirm program takes data in the "Auto" mode from sammobile.com and if there is no new firmware there, then you can get the new firmware only in the manual mode "Manual". The essence of the program is the emulation of the interaction of a specific model with a specific region and firmware with the update server. If the program lacks some data in the auto mode, the emulation is incomplete and, accordingly, the update fails.

5. When the program finds the firmware, check the boxes"Decrypt automatically"(to transcode the firmware into the desired format),"Check РЎRРЎ32"(to check the checksums) and click"Download". Specify the path to download the firmware (you can desktop). Do not rush to turn off the program until it recodes the firmware in the required format and checks the checksums (2 timesgreena bar in the program and there will be 2 labels below:Checking CRC32 ... Success: CRC match and Decrypting firmware ... Decryption finished, indicating the completion of checksum verification and decoding operations). This may take some time, do not rush.

ATTENTION!
When copying and pasting values ​​into program fields, make sure that the values ​​are set strictly at the very beginning of the field, without indentation, otherwise the program will generate an error.

Screen with an example for the regionSER .

why so Unpack the zip-archive and see what you need :) another thing is that you can’t change anything, you can change it more precisely, but the archived back will not have the original digital signature and will not be installed by the stock recovery ... :(

not. When installed remain the same. They are "converted" at the reading stage. Or a package from bin, or bible from lib

Check outRules section "Android - Firmware":
3.2. It is forbidden to ask questions that are not directly related to a specific topic, do not carry a semantic load and have a clearly stimulating character (especially such as "When will you lay out?", "How long should the firmware be?" And similar).

The first 500 MB update has already arrived, as the summary says - improving the stability of the camera and wireless charging, as well as the system as a whole.
After installing the firmware version info, it looks like this: N950FXXU1AQI1 / N950FOXM1AQHF / N950FXXU1AQHB
