My DVP decided to crap out yesterday for no reason. I read the "how to unbrick your phone" thread and was able to revive the phone using the TMO ffu file. It crapped out again so it looks like it's the SD card. I will be doing the flash again but does anyone have that file for AT&T instead of TMO? Thanks in advance.
It might be possible to use the TMO ffu, update to 7720, then use cabsender to send the ATT firmware bundle and turn it into the att version (as that's the only file that differentates the 3 versions)
It could also possibly brick you to the point that nothing can fix it, so I'm intentionally not posting the direct link to the files, but there are links to them if you search around for the VP on xda.

I think I'll give it a try, can you point me to the right cabsender? If it bricks I really don't care, went out and bought a Lumia 900 and actually like it. Thanks for the help.

I'm only make a (hopefully) educated guess on the whole thing, I believe there's only 1 version of cabsender(?), but it's the actual cab that i'm talking about that i'm not linking to.
Since the potential issue of permenetly bricking isnt an issue(?), look on the VP page on the xda wiki, it's listed there.

I was able to flash the phone and get it running but it shows TMO as the carrier. It does work with the AT&T sim card, so no issues.
Looks like there's a new vulnerability that is able to achieve root through a couple security holes.
Ran the Quadroot scanner app on my galaxy s7 edge PD8 and it does show its vulnerable to this.
From what I've read, this malware can achieve root just by installing it like any other Apk app.
Would it be possible for Devs to purposely download the malicious malware and make a working towelroot like root method for our devices?

My rooted SGS 7 flat on pd8 ( the previous update) says not affected by it.
Well, I used a different app for the scan. Using the same app as you, I got the same results as you. S**t
Someone should contact @geohot and beg him to work on this :3
That or @jcase. Both would be great at this methinks.

These are no more dangerous than any other kernel exec vulns, and alone wont offer you anything. These will not unlock the bootloader, allow you to flash supersu, or let you change system.

So if you can't change the system, then why should anyone be worried about this? Sounds like if we can't use these to access the system, neither can malicious attackers unless I'm missing something.

Well they can exec code as the kernel, anf you could stack it with some DM verity or bootloader exploit, but alone the best you MIGHT get is a temp root

I have been talking to an agent from T-Mobile and he confirmed that they are doing nothing regaurding a bootloader unlock like some have been hoping for. So now I'm kinda pissed at them and mostly Samsung. It seems devs need to find another way to unlock the bootloader. :/

On an unrelated note, I damn near lost my **** at what you said...I originally came here from the Verizon S7E forums to see if you guys made any discoveries.
All I can say is that I may not have found anything useful in terms of progress for our devices. But I still leave satisfied. Thank you sir, thank you very much.

very encouraging! please inform us if you any good news!:fingers-crossed:
Is there no legal obligation to release them on account of the open source parts of the phone's software? Are we guaranteed to eventually receive .kdz files for non-Verizon variants, or might we be eternally stuck in return-to-stock limbo?
Sorry, I'm used to the Samsung process for these sorts of things, this is all unclear to me.
KDZ files are used for repair purposes. As far as im aware there is NO legal requirement to release them.

I'm upset. This thing auto-updated last night. Thats really awful and I thought that was att behavior
I need some help if possible with this SM-580. I saw a post that had info on bypassing the frp lock. But the post dint go into enough details, and it was copied from a post a few months back which I tried to locate and could not.
And I wasn't sure if it was the right info for my device.
Here all info on my Tablet.
It's a 10" Black 16GB Samsung SM-T580UD
Android 7.0
And it has been reset asking for google login info.
Any help is much appreciated.
.....Thanks for any help

The reason no one has responded is that the questioned has been asked and answered so many times that anyone should be able to find the answer on their own. There is even a step by step answer. And there is a video posted by Beut. But you have to be VERY VERY careful to follow it exactly. Miss one step and it won't work.

You must not have read them carefully. The ONLY way to remove the FRP lock is to use Odin to revert to 6 with the ROM ending in PL4. You won't find a way while still running 7.
edit: BTW, once you remove the FRP lock, the tablet will update itself, OTA, back to the latest 7 from Samsung. So, don't worry about using 6 to get rid of the lock.

What difference does it make what firmware the tablet is running now? In order to remove the FRP the tablet has to be set back to the PL4 firmware and that can be done no matter what it currently has.
edit: The ability to add a fake wifi entry, highlighting it and choosing "advanced" is the key. That feature is ONLY available in a few Android 6 ROMS. The one ending in PL4 being one of them.

Then why not just post what version to flash and how to use it to remove FRP? Rather than, "what version are you running?", flash version "xyzzz" and do "such and such". Personally, I'd like that info if, and only if, it is easier than the 6 method. And doesn't cost any money. If you are selling something, then forget it.
edit; I take that back. If the OP can't figure out how to use the 6 method, and you can sell them something using 7, then more power to you.

Are you for real?
Do you think I'd spoil a perfectly good rep on these forums to sell something that can be obtained for free? In future do your research before replying to members with 'Recognized contributor' status.
Also no, I will not post up the method for general consumption, so any Tom **** and Harry can breeze by and happily bypass the security on a questionably obtained device.

I don't care if a method is available already for MM.
I appreciate if you'd quit with the ridiculous assumptions.
I am not, never have done or ever will sell something on XDA.
I do what I do for free. If you'd actually take the time to do a little research, you be aware of that, but obviously not.
I'm not going to get into a tit for tat with you as it pointless and will refer this to a mod if it goes any further.

Applies to the original and intact firmware on the phone.
The BIT code protects the phone from downgraded versions. You can't do anything about it. You can only downgrade the version with the same BIT code, which is tied to the bootloader.

I see. I’m assuming that’s because it’s a Verizon device? There are tons and tons of other people being able to downgrade online but I don’t think any of theirs are Verizon locked
