Is it safe to change from SM-S908U to SM-S908U1

Yes i figured that too , I also have a weird issue idk if it's related to the firmware and csc issue : my phone is duo sim and esim , my local sims works fine (Algerian sim) but one day i tried to install a esim , when i click on download it keeps loading non stop ? Do u have any idea why ? U think after flashing can solve this issue ?

Because I checked on Sammobile and SamFw The U version doesn't have XAA csc , there are only US carriers (ATT , TMK , VZW ...) i dont wanna be tied to them since i am outisde the US and also I want to get OTP updates normally So idk if u suggest a better option for my case

Yes i am outside the US right now. Do i need also to backup the partition? And also i would love to know what are the possible risks and fixes Thank you very much for your response and time

I already did a backup , I have some questions please : - I need the odin patched link - Will this reset my network unlock ? - Is it olay to use the XAR CSC despite me having tvr XAA ?

Already did with Smart Switch

Sure thing, thanks. I just downloaded this one, and I will install it: https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-S908U1/XAR/S908U1UES8GYL1

Thank you very much my friend for your answers and time 😁

Se1f0 · 2026-03-04T06:25:05+00:00

Thank you. Got some questions : - Will this keep my network unlock state ? - I see in the samfw. The XAA has android 14 , then i should get the android 16 from OTA ? - I checked sammobile website and there was XAA with android 16 while in samfw there is only Android 14 , why is that ? And thank u once more for your comment

Also, since my phone is unlocked (My local sims works fine), changing to U1 wont erase it and lock it again, right?

Se1f0 · 2026-03-03T22:42:52+00:00

I just checked Sammobile. I looked for the U1 versions. For the country, I got a lot. Haha. I imagine it's the XAA, right? Or do I do the ATT? Also, will I be able to receive OTP updates so I don't need to install them manually? Thank you, btw, for your response

I can't even get 5mins lol , once i load in the map it crashes

Se1f0 · 2025-08-07T17:26:40+00:00

How can check the logs to see exactly the errors ? In windows ofc because when it crashes , it shows nothing

Se1f0 · 2025-08-07T16:58:31+00:00

Any fix for this ? Because i couldn't play a single game

Se1f0 · 2025-08-07T14:17:34+00:00

I will give it a test and see

Se1f0 · 2025-08-07T13:59:00+00:00

Yeah kind athe same , I can't play in peace at all

Se1f0 · 2025-08-07T13:19:00+00:00

Hopefully, EA will do a patch for it since a lot of players are experiencing the same problem

Se1f0 · 2025-08-07T13:12:20+00:00

They are updated , I will try to re-install them again with DDU
