I know this is a couple weeks old but get your stock software/firmware from SamMobile. You can use Odin to flash. They will have a link for Odin and instructions on how to use.
Okay, I have a Samsung Galaxy Prime with Metro PCS. I was just texting the other day and then my phone reset and I got a black screen saying Blocked by Binary FTP. So yes i made the mistake of bricking my phone and flashing the T-Mobiles SM-G530T firmware. I've looked everywhere for the Stock Rom but can't find it and not sure if there are any Customer Roms for this device. Can someone get me going in the right direction or am i best with just sendng it back to Samsung and letting them flash it?
same boat

I have the firmware 4 MPCS Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530T1
give me Plissss I need them
HOW
Can I get link too please
I need that firmware also please send me the link as well
Here's the link with Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530T/ T1 Stock rom flashed via Odin.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-core/development/odin-5-1-1-sm-g530t1-oh9-metropcs-t3280445
I know it says "Core Prime" but I assure you its the Grand Prime SM-G530T Stock. it's just a little typo.
It is the T-Mobile version but compatible with MetroPCS 100%. Metro PCS is under T-Mobile in the first place, pretty much the same thing except for the Start-Up & the apps. But it works! & the developer(s) that made the package did an amazing job!
If anyone needs further info feel free to contact me! I would be happy to assist in any way possible.

so i bought this phone about 3 months ago (SM-G530T1) and i bricked it 3 days after i bought it by installing busybox un-rooted. still not sure how that happened but that is not the point, the point is i flashed the only stock firmware i could find (at the time) and it just so happened to be a mis-marked T-mobile firmware package. i didn't let it bother me though and continued to gain root and flashed ShinySides [AOF8]. It worked like a charm! I was just running T-mobile FW on a MetroPCS phone and it just got confusing if you have to call costomer service lol. so i made sure it worked in every way and removed all the bloatware. the only problem i had was with the hotspot feature, it had a mind of its own and that got annoying but i dont really use it that often so i could live with that. the phone was a champ! so i went to find a recovery or twrp. i was looking and found TWRP 2.8.7.0...it was not for the SM-G530T1 but it sorta worked and when i say sorta i mean it does pretty much everything you want it to do except BACK UP FILES! Lol! (at least for me anyways) so i ran that with the T-Mobile software for a few months until lastnight... see I didnt know about the failure to back up my files issue so you have to understand that i fully expected the TWRP Backup files to work and last night when i went to restore one of the BUps it informed me that i had no OS anymore !! oh man i wanted to puke! Upon further inspection i realized that it was only backing up about 20% of my system only and i should have noticed but i didn't expect that and that is how we learn the difference between knowledge and wisdom right? OK so at that point i had a bricked phone (MY DAILY DRIVER i might add) and i was not to happy to lose all my personal info either, so i went back on XDA to see what i could do. i was very pleased to see that there was now a working MetroPCS Package compliments of TSAR3000 and I went to work. I flashed it via Oden and was happy to see the familiar MetrPCS logo again, but i needed to re-root it so i used the ShinySides [AOF8] just to see if it would worked with the metro Firmware and it did! it trips KNOX but i could care less cause i dont want that crap anyways and i get rid of it right away lol. I debated if i sould put this next part in the message but i decided i would because people should be weary of programs and roots applications and remember that this is the true reason we root and unlock our phones to begin with... so Im not a paranoid person by nature but i dont trust King root or any of those one click apps companies because of some article i read a while back about how the Chinese root apps and downloads could possibly contain spyware but i never found any truth to it but from what i do know about the Chinese government i dont take the chance but its my opinion and i like the good old fashion (though a little more involved) flashing of SuperSU or whatever you like. So yes if you want to use ShinySides root procedure do it cause it works with metro just fine. Good luck.

Put the file in AP slot and the metro pit file in the box marked pit and start. And in about 4 or 5 min your phone will reboot and the if you want root and recovery flash Mr Sunnyside's trap kernel AOF8 then after that flash recovery TWRP SM-G530H it's the one recovery I've been able to find that works.. Good luck

i wish someone would have been kind to me and gave me this little rundown when i started rooting my phones way back in the day. direct and to the point good job! anyways i hope there is no issues... i dont see why there would be since i have been running this exact recipe for 7 days and i must say its a rare moment in the phone modifying world when you can say "perfect" this is one of those times... now if we could only get some rom up in here it would really be awesome. hey i jus want to warn you about that TWRP your about to use. i know it to have bugs personally.... the main issue is that it doesnt back up your Data Boot Or recovery or Cache LOL, but everything else works fine so far. it will however back up about 20% of your system and shut of LOL (Basically just enough to add insult to injury) so my advice is use it cause its the best we have but BACKUP SOMEWHERE ELSE! just use the TWRP to flash or do the little weird TWRP things you gotta do K? Good luck!

You have G935T device? Are you sure? There is no root or recovery for the ATT TMO or Verizon s7 edge. How did you flash anything???
If you can't get to download mode you can't fix it and you've made your device into a very expensive paperweight.
How did you do any flashing at all???

You can Flash via Odin. It works. I know there is no recovery for Qualcomm yet and all US models are boot locked. The only way i understand is via ADB or SD card method but again if we don't have root i cant create debrick image via TWRP. my question is can i create debrick image via Advance Turbo Flasher or something and with the help of Tmobile firmware file ?

If your phone won't get into download mode or your computer recognize your device how can you use ADB or sd? I do believe you're hard bricked and out of luck.
Odin should be used to flash your devices official firmware or if your bootloader is unlocked like my international flashing TWRP and SuperSu.
Very expensive lesson.
If you were of a mind to you could take it to your warranty store and play dumb.
Others have done so but it's usually frowned upon in the XDA community.
I feel your pain I've hard bricked three S3's I just happened to get good deals on them.
None of this is not what you want to hear.

i know its an expensive lesson, but one thing for sure if you have tmobile phone SM-G935T unlock it with factory code flash it with verizon and you can use it overseas as an internationally unlocked phone, verizon firmware automatically detects non verizon sim and turns the global mode on something which tmobile will not let you do. again if anybody knows how to boot from sd card please help me. thanks.

To flash verizon on tmobile g935 you need to first flash only CP file from verizon, then reboot into recovery and it will allow you to flash with verizon firmware.

Look you cannot flash other devices official firmware just because you've sim unlocked it. You are hard bricked and cannot fix your device.
What you really need to do now is do a ton of reading and research before ruining another device.
I'm not being rude or anything it's just you could've avoided all this by doing more reading. There is no recovery nor root for any American s7 edges and I've not even seen the official firmware on sammobile.
You got lucky the first time but not the second.
When I doubt read and then read some more.
Seriously you're out of luck.

Like @s7freak said your "SOL"... Sorry to here that....
Here's your option if i were you:
1. Call your carrier and play dumb said your phone just turn to black screen the next day..... Hopefully u still have 14 days return period.... Or hopefully u bought insurance.... That being said that ur hoping that they think manufacture defected phone or software malfunction.
2. If not Google jig or jtag service or buy the jtag to push your phone into download mode and u can Odin to stock again.
Goodluck.... Next time, don't ever try flashing others firmware if your bootloader Locked. Never gonna work on Android world.... Unless if your bootloader Unlocked then u can flash any Rom .... Any firmware.

Honestly as little information as I can find about it online I wouldn't chance it unless/until you get positive confirmation on here from a well established user or someone with evidence to show that it's legit. But that's just me. They may well be legit, but if you are doubtful enough to ask, that's a good enough reason (for me anyway) to not give them any banking information/money or try to put anything from them on your phone until you see enough on them to make you feel safe about it.
You need Odin 3.12 to flash any rom for s7 att. I used this site 's rom, no problem with it. I didn't find anywhere else to download so I have to pay this site. A bit expensive though

ATT firmware seems not released through official
channel so it is hard to find. I paid and downloaded it.
I could flash it in and got OTA. I paid using PayPal which is kind of safer.

Not a problem! Got it from Br3w3r who is also part of the team responsible for the S7 Edge root! Where he got it, I am unsure. I have had to use it once though, and I can verify it works. It doesn't appear to reset the flags that cause Samsung pay to stop working, but it'll bring your phone back from disaster.
Step 0. Download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpro
And once installed search for "tether" and disable "tetheringprovision"
Step 1.You don't need this but it's safer to have it.
Download Foxfi http://foxfi.com and the license and once have all of that turn on hide tether usage.
(Once you get your tether going this will activate to hide your tether from the network providers)
Step 2. You don't need Internet but you need something that will showup as a wifi network such as a PS4 , Direct TV receiver, chromecast, a printer and more. Once you have these plugged in and running go to step 3.
Step 3. Go to your wifi enabler on phone and turn on the toggle for it to scan for wifi.
Step 4.Locate one wifi signal and press connect if ask for a password do a random pass and press connect
(Like on the PS4 signal it will popup saying wrong password and that's fine)
Step 5.Now that you set that random password it will try to connect as soon as you turn wifi on again so turn off wifi now and follow next step.
Step 6.Go into your mobile hotspot app and setup the name and password if so desire.
Now when ready toggle wifi direct to on and then quickly go up and toggle wifi on and keep pressing toggle hotspot on. And if done right it will come on.
Step 7.Enjoy mobile data hotspot! !
Don't turn off the wifi or wifi sharing or else it turns off the hotspot too… which im trying to find a work around for it…
Id be grateful if others could help research too.

Ive tried everything that I could think of to make a fake wifi signal but it all needs root which we don't have so.. O well then I'm still happy it works even though it is tedious.
Edit 2
A new find(I tested this and didnt work for me)

Hey guys, just got an s8+ today and found out that the native hotspot will work if you pop sim tray out, it will then take you to lock screen, pull down tray and turn on hotspot. You may get an error saying no sim installed but just keep pushing hotspot button until it turns on. It is working on mine now.

Okay here's another way to get it to work but you need two phones and the one you use for this must have internet.
Okay so now I finally figured out how this works so here what you do:
Download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kha.prog.mikrotik
1.To the phone you aren't using (turning this on the phone you're not using creates a wifi signal to the phone you want the hotspot app to work on)
2.Go on the phone now that you want to use the hotspot with and turn on wifi and search for the wifi signal that the phone used to create the signal.
3.type in a WRONG password and connect to it. (It will say wrong password which is fine now just click ok or cancel)
4.Turn off wifi and go to your hotspot app and turn on wifi sharing and quickly turn on wifi then start pressing the hotspot toggle until it connects.
5.Now you have the hotspot app on so you can turn the netshare off on the other phone and you should also be able to turn off wifi and wifi sharing and still have hotspot on!!

Another thing you can do is flash your phone with the Canadian firmware. I just did that and it removed all the att bloat and wifi tethering works with no modifications plus you have a bloat free rom. Lemme tell you, this is how the phone should have came, smooth buttery and no restrictions on basic functions.

But does this trip knox? Does this allow you to change the coloring of the edge lighting too?

It does not trip Knox. I didn't even know you could change the color of the edge lighting, I looked quick but I didn't see any color options but I didn't ever check the ATT software either so not sure if you can change it or not.

Most definitely! Someone should make a post on this! I read about it over on the regular s8 forums in the SD research and development thread.

I did notice it does change color when you change live wallpapers, I switched to the orange/purple live wallpapers and it switched the edge lighting to orange, it was blue with the blue live wallpaper.

Hi Quickvic30,
Do you mind share how to flash Canadian firmware to AT&T S8 plus (SM-G955U)? Thank you so much, I really appreciate your help.

Hello,
You have to use a modified version of Odin, it's called princecomsy version and that can be found with a quick Google search or a search on here. Download it and install it with admin rights.
You download the firmware which will be in a zip file. Creat a new folder and move zip to folder and extract the zip. Once extracted you will see 5 files. AP, BL, CP, CSC and CSC home. CSC file will wipe your phones data, if you use the HOME CSC you will retain your data but it's also considered a dirty flash, wiping everything and clean flash is always best.
Double click Odin to open it, you will see 4 slots with the same letters as the firmware you just extracted. Put each file in it's matching slot. The AP file takes a while to confirm once you put it in the slot so be patient.
Put your phone in download mode and then plug it into the computer with your USB cable. You will see device added and blue color rectangle with a port #, that means Odin is connected to your phone. Hit the start button and sit back, it takes a while to flash. Once it's done it will say pass and your phone will re boot to recovery then boot normally, first boot can take up to 5 mins (which seems like an eternity lol). Set your phone up and enjoy!

Thank you for the instruction, I will try to flash it tonight. But I have two more question:
First one is: which carrier's firmware I should use? I found the G955W firmware at https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/SM-G955W/, which one are you using?
Second question is: Is there any functional difference between this two firmware? will I able to go back to AT&T firmware if something goes wrong?
Again, thank you for your help:good::good::good:
You want the XAC firmware. You should download it from update.com as they're DL speeds are way faster than sammobile.
Yes you will be able to go back to ATT firmware. Only thing I've noticed is no video calling, volte and that's about it. You can get those things working but let's just get the firmware flashed for now :good:

I didn't notice the download speed...both are pretty slow, but I think I should be able to finish the download in one hour.
Edit...you are saying updato.com and I thought it's samsung-updates.com, I can download from updato.com with full speed! which only took me 7 mins.
Samsung pay problem
I've been running the Canadian rom on a at t 8+ it has been flawless. I'm trying to set up my gear s3 and Samsung pay. I'm getting a message unable to continue does not support your version on gear. It's a s3 and did work before I went Canadian. Any suggestions? I like the caller I'd but should I flash the us rom?
Thanks

I have no idea how to help because I didn't ever flash it because I didn't see that much that I would favor in, but maybe someone will be able to help you.

Have you tried clearing the app data and reinstalling the latest version? Or you could also uninstall the app, reboot and reinstall latest version.
XAC and XAA are pretty similar if ya ask me, they both run smooth, fast and battery life is great!

Does the Canadian fw have mobile hotspot? The hotspot that lets you draw off your regular data plan instead of the Wi-Fi hotspot that requires you to have home Wi-Fi network?
This stopped working from me since the last ATT update. Can someone confirm if this is still working?

I flashed the TMO firmware on my AT&T S8+. Then I used BK Disabler Pro and disabled all bloat plus com.qualcom.qti.tetherservice and Tethering.Automation. i then downloaded Nova Launcher and made sure enhanced LTE services was enabled and HD Voice Settings were enabled. Running AT&T SIM with unlimited plan , tethering working just fine but I had to manually ADB the toggle into quick settings as well as the MobileData toggle. I can't find Wifi calling anywhere but I am sure I can use Google Dialer/Voice to place calls over data. I have DirectTV and was able to watch Live TV in full HD no issue. I am pretty sure that there is no tethering provision from AT&T so with the exception of V4A, I pretty much have everything I want without root. Battery charges to 100% and lasts way longer than it did on SAMPWND with root charging to 80%. Anyway, just my experience.
My firmware version is G955WVLU2AQK7 which I got from Sammobile.
I just turned off Mobile Data and placed a call with Google Hangouts Dialer and another with Facebook Messenger over Wifi and both worked beautifully.
