Verizon files for Odin?

[jhimmel]

Is is possible to get the Verizon release version for use with Odin in order to get my Verizon phone on the official release? I used Odin to flash an earlier leaked release and it would be nice to get on the official build if possible (without going through downgrade, etc...).
I tried the Verizon update tool on my PC but it gave a message that it will not work with the currently installed firmware.
My Note 8 is running great on the firmware I flashed, but Im pretty sure I won't get any updates that Verizon may push down the road.

I take you tried checking for updates on your phone?

Yes, it says my phone is up to date.

Head over to XDA and see what they have.

If it says your phone is up to date, then you're probably good. If you got your phone through Verizon then it shouldn't matter. Since we just got Oreo, our first security patch won't be until then end of April.

I'd wait until then. If you don't get the monthly security patch then you may have to do a factory reset.

That sounds like good, sound advice. Thank you for taking the time.

FYI, I did track down the VZW firmware through search at XDA. I am now flashed with the correct version. Everything seems to be good.

Have you checked Sammobile?

That's where I ultimately got it from (link found from search at XDA). Already flashed. Thanks.
