Samsung Note n9005 AUSTRALIAN Help

Help i have a Australian SM-N9005 and i rooted fine and flashed the Omega rom which worked perfectly. I decided to some of the other roms out there and after flashing ROM][XXBUMI7][V1.1][8/10][N9005] K.I.D.1412| Fast|Clean|Stable|battery life| now my phone just boot loops after intial Samsung Note 3 logo. I can get into CWM still and Odin Mode and have tried flashing Kernel, Recovery etc etc and also a few other roms with the same boot loop. Anyone know what would be going on?

If that was happening to me. I would take out my Sd card and go into cwm wipe all! Then flash over stock with Odin

I ended up getting a swap over as the Aussie XSA Firmware not out yet. I'm not rooting mine again until more roms released and Aussies be careful flashing the roms already released

I recently upgraded my Optus contract and picked up the note 3. It has Optus branding. Once the Australian XSA firmware is released am I able to flash over the Optus firmware via odin like we used to do with previous Samsung devices or am I going to trigger knox? I'm not fussed about root for now, I just don't want the Optus crap.

Hey guys,
Any updates on if we can flash the sea firmware over the top via Odin?

There is one called SM-N9005 Australia 2013 October 4.3 N9005XXUBMI7 N9005XSABMI1
from sammobile.com
does it work?
I dont dare to flash yet... cos I dont want to lose my 2+1 years warranty.

Knox and Region Lock better play safe, who knows after flash firmware from different region Our phone will become one of region locked phone.
-I wait for Devs figure out the way to disable Knox counter flag.

I tried to flash this on my n9005 from Kogan (Phone come from Hong Kong) & it kept failing in odin right at the end.
I eventually had to do a firmware recovery with Kies to get it working again

I downloaded that from sammobile.com last night, I don't want to flash until I know it wont trigger knox. I've got 2 more years on this contract so warranty is important right now lol.

Not sure but could be that your phone is region locked to Hong Kong and you're flashing firmware from another region? But then again I remember reading someone downloaded Unknown - XSI from sammobile and flashed it without having problems and it supposedly didn't trigger knox not sure what firmware he was on though.

If it's region locked it says so on the box

Didn't know that cause I didn't have that sticker on my note 3 box. Thanks for the info.

My N3 is also from Kogan. I suspect mine was activated in Hong Kong before being shipped to me even though the OLB region is not meant to have Region Lock enabled. I had written to Kogan before buying the phone enquiring on the Region Lock of the devices they ship. I guess they activated the phone in Hong Kong just to be safe.
Looking forward to rooting and loading Omega ROM but until the process is a little more mature, I'm holding off.
Great to see so many people working hard on this device.

I have an Optus N3. Flashed another stock firmware over the optus one before flashing Omega Rom. Works beautifully. Cant wait for kernels to come out so i can play with it more (undervolting, etc).
Love the Xposed installer with modules.

Hi,
I also am worried to flash anything at the moment.
Does that XSA Firmware (I'm assuming that means open, like directly from Samsung AUS...?) trigger KNOX counter? Its official firmware, I'd assume not, just wanted to see what others say or have had happen...
Do you guys think its better to wait till carrier updates to 4.4.2, so bootloader and everything gets done officially. then root and flash 4.4.2 roms?
Or I can just flash the Polish (or other NA7) 4.4.2 (NA7) and just go from there? Dam, I'm not sure yet...if anyone shed some light on this that would be great!!
Thanks advance guys!!

You can flash any Stock Samsung rom without triggering Knox however, due to a new bootloader in the Kitkat rom once you flash it you can't go back to the Aussie JB rom...
You should be able to go to the Aussie KK rom when it comes out but until then you are stuck using other country roms and modems....
I had the Polish NA7 rom installed and it worked OK however my phone was rooted so I didn't have some of the problems others have reported - apps unable to access/write to internal/external sd cards...
Since then I went to custom roms, much better...

Oh ok I see. Thanks for your reply.
So what do you recommend? Can't I flash the polish to get my boot loader updated then flash a custom kit kat rom? Then when an Australian one comes out flash stock again then root again? Is that possible?
I've never had this problem where I've been faced with how I can't "go back" Haha.
Thanks again.

Anyone know where i can get stock aus firmware higher than;
N9005XXUBMI7_N9005XSABMI1_XSA
Was preloaded JB 4.3 i forgot to save backup before i flashed.
I went to a KK 4.4 CM ROM straight out of the box.
I decided i wanted to revert to stock and play with the touchwiz features.
Strangely i flashed via odin the wrong firmware.
Pretty sure it was this one;
N9005XXUDML3_N9005IDEDML4_IDE
Which ended up being polish JB 4.3 (Orange)
And it worked.
=\
Forgetting my confusion about reverting from KK to JB,
After downloading aus firmware from sammobile,
Both the retail and telstra are failing with this message;
W REV. CHECK FAIL : fused : 2 . Binary : 1
Checked the forums but only found threads relevant to SGSIV.
Something about new OTA update blocking root.
Any help?
Oh and if possible id prefer stock retail to telstra branded.
Cheers.
Edit ; sorted, found them, Sammobile just takes abit of navigating.

It does work. You have to use the search tool on the right side to search inside the thread.... people have used it on at&t phones. You need to be on 4.2.2 though.
If you are wary of this then pay for an unlock code

Bell doesn't have a 4.2.2 firmware for their S4 model (SGH-I337M). They were released with 4.3.

potter caaquie
So there is no current method developed to unlock a Bell, Rogers,Telus, Virgin and Koodo 4.3 SGH-I337M S4.
Am I correct XDA ?

Kingo Root does. I used it on my Canadian model, which is an i377m btw, i377 is US model. Just download kingo root app, install to pc, attach the usb and click root. Be sure to allow any pop ups on device, and do NOT allow it to use the cfautoroot method (or odin mode), as that will trip knox. If it gets that far, just close out and run it again. I've had a few handsets take 2 attemps. You can install any custom recovery you want, and run any rom for i377m or international variant of the s4, just keep in mind flashing a custom recovery will trip knox. Kingo root itself, does NOT trip knox, mine is intact. i377m is a candian variant with an unlocked bootloader, i377 is the US version with a locked bootloader. Very different. mentioned due to you saying another method doesn't work on i377. well no, it doesn't, but if you're asking about a Canadian model, it's an i377m, and it will work.
I run 4.3 stock touchwiz, rooted, with wanam to fake official status, nova prime for the kitakat themed stuff.

Sammobile has the 4.2 firmware for the Bell I337m (Canada (Bell Mobile) 2013 July 4.2.2 I337MVLUAMG1 I337MOYAAMG1).
My guess is the hidden menu unlock procedure will work after you flash that firmware. Alternatively if you can locate and flash just the MG1 modem it should give you access to the hidden menu. You can then reflash your current modem.

I started with I337MVLUEMK6 (Rogers 4.3). I was able to successfully restore with that firmware with oden.
So it seems i337m doesn't downgrade on 4.3. Is there a way I can flash the modem to get access to the menu ?
It's all about umts secret menu access.

There are lots of kiosks in malls that will do it for around $20.... unless you are actually trying to kill the phone... (kidding)

It appears the Canadian models also have locked bootloaders which prevent you from downgrading the entire firmware.
I saw the MG1 4.2 modem in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324667
Once you flash that it should give you access to the hidden menu. You can then re-flash the MK6 modem after you unlock (also in the above thread).

I have fido on 4.3 stock I337MVLUEMK6 rom. I tried to downgrade it to I337MVLUAMDJ using the Rogers (http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyS4//SGH-I337M) to get the hidden service menu. I was able to get it downgrade and show the baseband and build version to : I337MVLUAMDJ using ODIN 3.09 and access the service menu(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2285431) to go through the steps and unlock the phone. However I got the invalid sim error and also the phone wifi and sound doesn't work
Any ideas how to get it work on the I337MVLUAMDJ firmware?
Thank

Canadian models do not have locked bootloaders. even knox doesnt lock it. which is why we can run custom recoveries and kernels. will trip knox, but it is *not* locked bootloader. I337m = unlocked

[Q] Note 3 UAE Firmware Updates

Hi Guys,
Im a new user here, but have been using the site for firmwares for ages. This place is awesome.
Can someone help me with this?
I recently got a note3 4G from UAE (Damam) to india. Its really awesome, except for the lack of firmware updates.
Hence, the fiddler in me thought i should just go ahead and try oin a new firmware.
Previously, i was 'fiddling' with the galaxy s3, which seemed easy enough, but with the Note3, there seems to be a massive divide between regions and firmware versions. I wouldn't want tot do anything that might take away features like the 2K video recording and what not.
I am also getting quite sick of the phone heating up because of some process using the camera (mm-camera-daemon).
Hence, i figured, it might have been fixed in the Kitkat update.
Can anyone direct me as to how i can go about finding the right firmware for my phone, and if i will still recieve OTA updates after an Odin flash (Possibly from another regions firmware).
Thanks a lot!
Keep up the great work!

No one? Really?

I am currently running the BTU NB7 Stock Rom from sammobile.com, this would give you region updates from btu, the uk.
Just flash it via odin the same as you would have done on your s3.
Edit: your device is the N9005, correct?
Also, if you update to Kitkat, you cannot downgrade back to JB.

Thank you very much celderic.
Finally some real answers. Much appreciated.
What are the differences between the various regions by the way? Is it only the language packs? Could you confirm if this update is safe for me, my AP right now ends with MJ7 (UAE).
Also, i've been reading some bad press about the new update. Would you recommend updating anyway? And will the camera still shoot at 2K?
Edit: Been reading a lot about knox. my warranty is already void, so do i need to worry about it? Also, what are the pros and cons of using a custom rom (like omega) and why arent you using them. I want to switch to 4.4 more so for the Ok Google wake up command - will work wonders in my car.
Thanks!!!!

Aslong as you only flash official packages from samsung via odin, your knox will remain at 0x0, but as soon as you flash a custom recovery for example, it will go to 0x1 like mine has.
Yes the camera is fine at 4k, i rarely use it though thr file size is too big for me
The CSC code mainly determines where it will get the updates from, my phone was bought as a BTU device, when kitkat first came out i flashed the polish XEO firmware, no problems with it
I am using my own modified version of stock instead of other peoples work, i just didnt like the themes some of the other roms had, and i noticed lots of tiny bugs. Just little things that made me want to put together something for my own use. But ofcourse my phone is rooted and i have no warranty, knox 0x1
I hope this helps feel free to ask if you need any more information.
Edit: i didnt realise you said your knox is already void, i would suggest flashing the stock nb7 btu rom, or even nc2 of another region. To update the modem and bootloader, then flash the latest TWRP recovery, then flash alexndrs latest nc2 rom in recovery it is pre rooted. And when installing from recovery you can set your CSC during the install.

Ok, i get it. You seem very wise on these matters. And kudos on the modified ROM, i would love to do the same if i knew how.
Let me take you though the full story, and then you can advise me on what i should do.
I live in India. A friend of mine bought the note3 for me from the UAE (Damam). He was told that he would have to use it with a uae local sim card for a few days there to 'unlock' it, after which, he could use it anywhere (Seriously, is that the best you can do Samsung?). Anyway, he did so, and all worked perfectly. I am using it just fine (more than just fine, its awesome) here in India. Also, since i am not in the UAE, warranty is void. Thats why i mentioned the knox bit since it seems that it will makes no difference to my life.
Now, there are couple of things which are bugging me with the update.
1) Regional differences - what are the differences. Apart from the CSC, the PDA files also seem to be named differently. Why?
2) Is 4.4 really worth it (Since downgrading is an impossibility after that)? I've heard battery life issues and what not. Are you facing these issues as well? Currently, on 4.3, im not having any battery problems, but some process called mm-camera-daemon keeps heating up the camera area on the phone. I was considering buying a portable mini fire extinguisher a few weeks back, but then i thought i might look silly carrying it around I was also hoping that the "Ok Google" command works, but am not clear if samsung has allowed it over sVoice.
3) If i update, will my phone get Sim locked again?
4) Custom Roms - Will i be able to come back to the official roms later if required and recieve OTA updates?
5) Modem and bootloader - I am in india anyway, so the existing modem doesnt apply to me anyway (even though it works). Still fine?
Thanks again!

there is not any update available for your region ( Dubai )
you can use another region

Also, how do i backup the efs without rooting it first? or is it safe for me to just go ahead with a odin update to official 4.4.2?
EDIT:
Alright! Just to keep you updated, i did it!
used the UK BTU firmware you provided and flashed with odin, whilst holding tightly onto my chair.
Booted up, android is upgrading nonsense... etc etc.All working fine.
However, the "Ok Google" command doesnt work, i've read up everywhere about what to do, but nothing i do will make it work, works when the screen is on the lockscreen though.
Anyway, SVoice is going to end samsung one day.
Is there any point in shifting to a custom rom now? Or am i good with just rooting (will i still get updates)?

1) There is a region unlock app by chainfire, you need to be rooted though.
2) I am having a very good experience using 4.4 also if i am not mistaken the mm-camera-daemon raises the cou frequency when using the camera, i did see a fix posted online recently that will be included in the next update from google, after 4.4
3/4) To get back to an official rom all you have to do is flash the package via odin. For sim locking, see the app by chainfire.
5)as you are on JB currently it will work on other JB firmwares, im not shre if it will work on KK though i have never tried. Just updated and never had to go back.

Also, how do i backup the efs without rooting it first? or is it safe for me to just go ahead with a odin update to official 4.4.2?
EDIT:
Alright! Just to keep you updated, i did it!
used the UK BTU firmware you provided and flashed with odin, whilst holding tightly onto my chair.
Booted up, android is upgrading nonsense... etc etc.All working fine.
However, the "Ok Google" command doesnt work, i've read up everywhere about what to do, but nothing i do will make it work, works when the screen is on the lockscreen though.
Anyway, SVoice is going to end samsung one day.
Is there any point in shifting to a custom rom now? Or am i good with just rooting (will i still get updates)?

If there are certain apps you would like to remove from the system partition i would suggest alexndrs rom as it has everything you have currently.
Also the TWRP 2.7 recovery is working well for me. You will need to flash that in odin to install the other rom on your phone, same button combo to get to recovery and download mode as your s3 was.
As for efs backups i found a good aroma script, let me find it i will edit when when i have it.
Edit: You will meed TWRP Recovery for this, your knox will go to 0x1 as mine has from flashing the recovery though, just make sure you want too. But here is what you need to flash in TWRP and follow the onscreen instructions to backup the efs for your n9005, backup is about 14mb when finished i think, so make sure. I uploaded it because i couldnt find the thread - http://uppit.com/y9fwqktntlei/EFS_Backup_restore_Aroma.zip

Wow. You are a GOD!
Cant remember the last time someone put time out to help out like this.
All seems well, and im all set to flash TWRP.
Once question though, is it possible that the UK modem is causing connectivity losses here in india? I seem to be loosing my network (have network issues at my workplace, but not sure if this is because of the new modem. Maybe its psychosomatic.) If so, should i flash some other regions firmware before the final alexandr rom?
xdaAdmin - The thanks button disappeared on clicking it once. Please fix this 'bug' to allow upto 100 thanks.
Edit: I installed alexndr rom!!!! Dont see much difference though. How do i make ok google work while the phone is off?

Alright! 3 hours with the new firmware. Everything works. I even managed to uninstall SVoice. But 2 things:
1) Ok Google command is still not working. Do i need a different ROM where samsung apps are not included?
2) The EFS tool you mentioned : Does it do anything different from the TWRP efs backup option?
Also, have you tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472301

Anytime other people may find this thread useful. Just sharing what i have learnt from this device, i have owned it since christmas.
In the alexndr thread, did you flash the latest nc2 modem via odin? You will have to shut down your phone, do the button combo for download mode then flash it, it is in the first post of his thread, this may help. Also the bootloader if you havent (i dont think this needs to be updated, but i have anyway) flash the modem and bootloader seperately
I will try and look up the ok google command, i have never used it. I try to use just the essentials for best battery life and speed

The reason i gave you that to flash in recovery is because i have had problems restoring backups in twrp, apparently there is an update coming soon to fix this, but better to be safe and have 2. Put them on your pc or somewhere safe.
I did use the last version of x-note a few weeks ago(been updated since) but i did not like it, too many features that are useless for my daily usage. I think other users favour that rom though.

The NC2 modem and bootloader is in the UK BTU Official update right? Yup, i did that.
Also, apparently, since there is a core on the phone dedicated to system services, the Ok Google command doesnt take much juice to run. Its quite neat. Svoice apparently does eat up quite a lot of battery, but then again, thats what you get when you name something 'Svoice'... Seems like they are trying very hard to piss off apple.
You should try the Google Experience System (or whatever its called). I was using it on the s3 inside my car/for alarms with voice commands. Quite convenient and accurate (even with our indian names to call here) and i havent really faced any issues with a false startup till now on the s3.
Will do the efs thing tomorrow. Thanks for the warning on TRWP.
Would you know of any other ROM which completely boycotts samsungs propitiatory apps?

I was thinking of to downgrade back to kitkat, but will i get official update of lollipop on the manually installed kitkat?
Thanks

[Q] I Hate Lollipop! what are my options??

I thought I would never have to resort to modding or rooting my phone but this latest lollipop update is driving me bonkers.
Data toggling is removed, some of my apps don't work now, and notifications on the lock-screen are annoying vs the nice small icons in the top bar in kitkat.
I am a complete noob to flashing or modding and am trying to figure out my options.
What is rom? what is a kernel? is the same? what is a bootloader?
Can someone recommend me a good rom to use on Wind Note 4 that is currently unrooted? Will I need to root before I install a rom or after?

You'll need rooted device to flash a custom rom. A custom rom replaces your devices android operating system. Currently, CyanogenMod is the most popular custom rom. Your only option is either to root the device and enjoy the full control over your phone or downgrade to kitkat.

But crynagen mod is not supported on note 4? It is not listed as a supported device on the website or am I missing something? Does a Rom remove android or just tweak it? Will I lose s pen functions with crynagen mod? Is cryogen mod based on lollipop or kitkat?

the only thing you need to do is be able to READ, use the SEARCH BAR, www.google.com , and trust me then everything would make sense and you'll learn, cheers:fingers-crossed:

What is Android ROM (Android Read Only Memory)?
A file containing the executable instructions (a system image) of an Android OS and affiliated apps. The "stock ROM" comes installed on the phone or tablet, while a "custom ROM" comes from a third party. The custom ROM is either a uniquely modified OS, such as Cyanogen, or a stock version made available for older devices or for new devices before the vendor release date (source: pcmag encyclopedia).
What is Kernel?

In computing, the kernel is a computer program that manages I/O (input/output) requests from software, and translates them into data processing instructions for the central processing unit and other electronic components of a computer. The kernel is a fundamental part of a modern computer's operating system (source: wikipedia, image source: androidcentral).
What is a bootloader?
Bootloader is a piece of code that runs before any operating system is running. Bootloader are used to boot other operating systems, usually each operating system has a set of bootloaders specific for it.
Finally, in order to flash a different ROM than the Stock ROM already found on your Android device you need root privilege. In order to flash a custom ROM you need to root your device. The most popular custom ROM out there is Cyanogenmod. You can pretty much find how to flash this to your Android device on almost any website (try google and you'll see).
I hope this helped. Let me know if you need anything else.

thank you Nicholas, you are very helpful
as far as I can tell cryogen mod is not supported on note 4 right now, if it is then does anyone have the link?
is there is other rom made specifically for the note 4 that would keep its multiwindow/sylus support?
does a rom have to be for my particular region or my my phone's band/carrier or can any rom be used?

CM 12.1 is available for the Note 4, as long as you don't have a VZW or ATT version. http://galaxynote4root.com/t-mobile-note-4-roms/cm12-1-rom-for-galaxy-note-4-android-5-1-1-root/

If you post your variant name here, then we can redirect you to the appropriate thread for your device.

You can install any stock ROM you like as long as your phone is not carrier locked, but it is preferable to use the one intended for your phone. Cyanogenmod is available for Note 4 devices and also features the Android Lollipop 5.1.1. As for the Note 4 features, any TouchWiz based rom should allow you to continue using those features. Cyanogenmod is based on AOSP therefore removing all the features offered by the stylus.
Hope it helps. For any more details I would be happy to provide them. Just ask for anything you want.

My Note 4 variant is SM N910W8, it is Canadian Wind phone.
Whats the worst that could happen from loading the wrong wrong rom? Cant make calls on my network? Phone bricked? Is it actually possible to completely brick a phone doing this or there is always a back solution to restore back to prior state?
How do I check if my phone is carrier locked?

Cyanogen mod mate. Big difference.

If you are flashing a stock samsung ROM then you should be fine, there is a possibility that flashing fails, you'll then just have to go into download mode again and flash the same ROM or download another stock ROM.About carrier lock...did you buy the phone on contract?

No I am not on a contract I would've gotten the same phone either way from Wind Mobile

I am pretty sure your phone is not Carrier Locked. If you would like to check for sure, then Galaxsim Unlock allows you to check if your SIM is locked to a carrier and also offers an in-app purchase to unlock it for you if it is (Note: I have not used this app before but seems legit).

So I tried installing cyanogen mod and although it feels much fast than touchwiz it doesn't have many touchwiz features like spen multiwindow and the camera has bad quality/crashes
also it is lollipop so i have to manually data toggle and not rely on juice defender to toggle data every 15 minutes to save battery
so basically could someone recommend me a KITKAT based rom that would keep some good touchwiz features? also it should work for a Canadian note 4 on wind
is it ok to wipe cyanogen mod which is lollipop and instead install a kitkat rom or do i need to do something first?
thanks

I just had a quick search in the forum and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...om-rom-4-4-4-note4-canada-rooted-sik-t2987056
I don't know if it's exactly what you're looking for but it's TouchWiz based and 4.4.4 kitkat and runs on Canadian variants of the Note 4.
About the flashing a kitkat ROM on top of a lollipop ROM, I don't really think it matters - it will just flash the new firmware, but it might cause a boot loop.
A boot loop is when your phone keeps booting up continuously. This can be prevented by taking precautionary measures, which is to factory reset before flashing the new ROM and clearing cache. If it still boots into a boot loop then try to factory reset it and clear cache again (after flashing the new ROM). If it still does not boot up correctly try connecting the phone with odin and just flash cf-autoroot and it should fix that.
I've tried the above methods and so far haven't bricked any phones thanks to these steps, so you should be pretty fine.
Hope this helps and take caution when playing with ROMs and different firmware.
NOTE: I do not take responsibility if you brick your phone. By attempting any of the above actions you acknowledge that it is your fault if anything unrecoverable happens to your phone.

I want to install Firekat v11 on my WIind mobile Note 4 but I am a little confused
it says to flash the A0A1 base before install firekat
what is A0A1 base? from where do I download it? and how do I odin flash it?
could someone please point me in the right direction ?
thank you

I can't find anything refering to A0A1 on the xda forum. Did you take a look here?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786666
It just says you need to have a stock kitkat ROM to flash this. And why use v11, if there is v19 which is much more improved? Either way you have to downgrade from Lollipop to Kitkat in order to flash this ROM.

The not wont to open new topic,so my problem is this:i wont to go back on stock kik kat 4.4.4. i the not like lolipop.All files from samMobile are corupted,i can not extract them,So what is the problem,i used 2 difren zip rar programs,but not working,other tings working with zip ,just this stock rom not working.

I think I figured out what A0A1 base means. I think it means the stock rom version for Wind Mobile
On this website there are all the stock rom images and I see for my carrier there are 4 roms available and you can see the last 4 letters of the rom name have the different "bases" such as AOA1 or ANJ3

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Canada SM-N910W8 2015-01-12 GLW Wind mobile N910W8VLU1AOA1 KitKat 4.4.4
Now I figure that by Odin flash they mean to flash these stock roms like how I originally got TWRP on my phone which is to go into download mode and flash the .tar.md5 file unlike how I used TWRP to flash cynogenmod and its .zip file.
I hope I am right about all this otherwise I will have a very expensive brick this weekend.
IF anyone could confirm if it sounds like I am on the right track that would be great!
There is no V19 for Note4, latest one for Note 4 is V13 based on this T Mobile based thread

Fix For Those Who Tried Flashing The g930u Firmware

Hey, just wanted to make this thread to help out some people who wanted to know if the unlocked firmware was flashable on the tmobile s7 and the answer is no. The unlocked firmware's bootloader is version 2 while T-Mobiles bootloader is version 3 meaning we can't downgrade and you'll be soft bricked if you try. I found this out the hard way and here's how I fixed my device and hopefully those who have tried and can't figure out how to fix it will benefit from this.
When the unlocked firmware failed to flash, I tried flashing the stock firmware but got an error and it failed at system.img.ext4. File too large. To fix this you have to flash the pit file and the stock firmware via odin. My first time I was caught in a recovery bootloop, all I did was reflash the firmware without to pit file (Must have flashed it already) and it booted up normally. The second time I soft bricked (someone said unticking oem unlock worked for them but on an at&t s7 so I tried, no good) I flashed the firmware and the pit and I booted up without an issue and everything was saved, however I needed to reroot and xposed was removed but other than that no data lost. Not sure why this happened but just an fyi. I did factory reset the first time so don't reset if your're soft bricked and just flash the firmware with the pit file and see how it goes.
Here's the stock firmware(Latest PG1 is rootable, I've tried it and many others have confirmed): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369242688258
Here's the pit file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzyeAt2hy6XeR1pTM29ORWhDalk/view
Here's the thread with the g930u firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/xda-community-love-g930u-t3415875
I'll gladly help anyone with questions, and if you've seen the other threads and still need help rooting I'll gladly do so.
Edit: You can now flash the latest unlocked firmware because the bootloaders are both v4. You can root the latest unlocked firmware.

thanx mate worked on the first try, if youre stuck on the tmobile splash screen flash the pit and ap thru oding, thanx again mate lifesaver

Quite unfortunate.

but can you upgrade? I have a 930V running on Unlock firmware. I want to flahs 930T on it for wifi calling.

I have not tested it, but I wouldn't recommend bc of the possibility of not being able to flash back or the possibility of bricking. But I could be wrong and it may work.

How did you go about rooting the PG1 firmware?

Thank you so much! I thought my s7 was gone for good. I had to reflash somethings but it ended up gr8!

Any updates on this? Is there a version 3 G930U firmware or a way to downgrade the 930T?
Thanks

So I have an SM-G930A and flashed the 930T firmware as I use T-Mobile. I was able to flash the 930U firmware before I flashed the 930T. If I want root and the ability to flash the new Note 7 Port Rom, am I able to flash back to the 930U. Or does the BL file in the odin package change my BL to the locked one on the T-Mobile model?

I believe you'll be unable to downgrade to the bootloader on the U firmware, but someone might confirm it.
You can go ahead and try it

August OTA update for G930U firmware is still bootloader v2. It's actually kind of funny T-Mobile's device has the least amount of tweaking.

I believe none will work because you are on pg1 which has bootloader SW v3 and all U firmware are version 2. You can't go from 3 to 2.

The Latest PI3 firmware for the SM-G930U now flashes to the SM-G930T. The bootloader is now on v4 for the U variant.
