Verizon updates with another carrier - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

Hi there, I bought a Verizon S7 Edge in El Paso, TX. Currently Im working in México, unlocked the Phone and have Telcel as my carrier.
My s7 is with the PB5 firmware and I know that isnt the most actual firmware. Is there anything I can do to get the OTA updates? I dont want to flash via ODiN that will erease all my data and settings.
Greetings

I don't think so. Since Verizon rarely updates the firmware, I'd say just flash and be done. I recently got an s7 edge and was on the previous firmware as you and the touchscreen sensitivity was incredibly high. The PD2 firmware fixed this to a large degree. The PD2 firmware will automatically install a new package called DTIgnite. This in turn installs games and an AOL app I believe. Simply uninstall those apps and disable DTIgnite in Application Manager.

I have the latest firmware here you can flash with Odin. You can load either the HOME_CSC or the CSC_VZW file in the CSC slot. Home will not wipe data and CSC_VZW will.

Thanks but she passed away a year ago. No worries though, she lived a great life and I was blessed with another awesome girl. I'm glad the flash worked out. I'll do my best to keep the thread current.

You must flash root like the first time

So flash newest software via Odin then re-use CF-auto root?

This might help while flashing stock rom but avoiding not wipe the data. Not tested by myself in my 935FD as I only read it yesterdays AFTER flashed it from beginning (and getting tired of it).. however this method might cause trouble to XPosed nice modules like XTouchWiz

So its slowly rolling out?
Should I jump to German Firmware or wait for Australia?
But going German will wipe my device right? and Australia wouldnt
I also don't know if SmartSwitch software will allow to update with root.. just reading about it myself.
It seems to be rolling out but I guess it depends on countries... Like always...
Well the main problems I usually get is with Xposed, that require clean state phone... with s6 was ok though. If you don't use it it could be fine...
You know how is it, clean wipe will make phone literally 0 flaws while with wipe something can come up while you just spend half hour configuring it, but you know you always spend 3 hours+ re-configuring the phone to your liking from a clean state.... I guess everyone on this forum had a issue with this decision but in the end we all end up spending more time looking to the phone than we should. ahah

we love re-configuring phones, if you have a rooted phone, you will reconfigure it at least 3 times a month. haha
im jumping Germany firmware as they seem to get the latest OTA, gonna go germany so later on I wont have to wipe, but im worried about the radio 4G/3G would that affect it?

The problem with OTA is that they build over and over time you get a slower phone usually... with root you loose OTA anyway, so it was that excuse I used to myself for rooting my s7 edge the day I bought it
Shouldn't affect the radio but double check it due to CSC

I tried to flash the new rom from UAE with a modified HOME_CSC but after sucess flashing it got stuck at boot... However I used a firmware for UAE this time, despite being OJV. SO ended up with a clean phone again... so I'm not sure if I did it with a TUR rom like my original it would be ok or if I did something wrong while creating the tar file with cygwin. Notice that both are OJV.
as for root:
Most likely you need to flash it again... I just flash TWRP image trough odin and then superuser... however I found that after booting in need to go back again to twrp and format everything again except /system otherwise I get problems with Xtouchwiz module
How to update to a newer firmware with TWRP flashed?
Is it possible without a full wipe?
No one has an answer for it? I wanna know it too.
I hope there is a way without full wipe.

[update] G930TUVU3APG1 firmware available

It seems a new update is about to roll out. The build is BG1.
Maybe just a security patch containing update, but the thing is, the odin TAR is available already.
→ Download S7 firmware
Have fun!
Was available for the s7, but not the edge for me.
When I click download I just get a blank folder with them name of the firmware. How can I get the actual firmware or am I doing something wrong?

I rooted using a custom script someone made in the att thread. It fixed the cpu frequencie issues and adjusted each governor of the small and big clusters. So far so good with only minot hiccups once in a while. I haven't noticed much of a difference with the pg1 firmware if any. If you need help rooting check out the att forum or i can help when i get back home.
if we are already rooted on PD8, can we just flash this ontop of PD8 and retain root? What about user data?
I got this update on 2 S7's and on both of them, I now have cellular data issues. Wifi calling will keep giving me a notice that my phone is going to use wifi for calls when the feature is set to prefer Cellular for calls. Rebooting doesn't help, it will eventually say it again. I have to keep turning off wifi to force the message away. And during browsing on cellular, it drops a lot even though I know I have great coverage where I use it. With 2 phones, and only have this update, I think something is wrong with this firmware.

I haven't had any issues, everything works fine. Here go down till you find generic galaxy s7 after root process and flash the zip he made via Flashfire. See if that helps. Did you factory reset after rooting btw?
I am not rooted. I just saw this Firmware thread and figured this was a good place to talk about my issue related to this firmware. I will update my previous post to show no rooting. All stock.

Oh, sorry, then I'm not sure what could be the issue, you could try clearing cache in recovery.

A factory reset should fix it, this happened to me as well.

Anyone know where I can get the latest G930P firmware G930PVPS4APJ2 ?

As of 10/26, Sprint rolled out the latest firmware for G930P (Galaxy S7), G930PVPS4APJ2. I have been searching everywhere since then and it has been 3 days without any luck. Since by mistake I loaded the G930U's API3 with the latest bootloader 4 and I am not able to downgrade to any of the older G930P firmwares. The worst part is that it also destroyed my factory SIM unlock. I want to go back to the G930P firmware and request to have it unlocked again. Someone please help. If this firmware is not yet available for downloading yet, any idea normally how long it takes from the day a firmware is rolled out until it is available on the web for downloading?
Thanks in advance for any help or info.
I'm glad someone posted this. I tried downgrading so I could root my S7 but it failed and now I'm assuming the only way to fix it is to flash stock firmware.
Has anyone had any luck getting the firmware for PJ2?
i found this,but i dont trust it

I can't even update to PH7. It downloads fine, but during the install part (blue screen/android dude) it constantly fails at 32%... I hate to have to flash with Odin, and re-setup my phone (apps, homescreen layout, etc.).
Does anyone know of a link to PH7 that has decent download speeds, like a torrent? Sammobile speeds are so slow.

Search for SamFirm. It's an executable you launch on Windows and search for the firmware for your model and region you need and download it. It's the quickest I have seen so far.
This... I also need. Stuck until I get it. Bahhhhhh I don't like the s7 after 4 days. Didn't realize these updates pushed new bootloader version. Trying to build a ROM here... Dafuq?!?!?! -.-"

Do i have to flash these files in a certain order? or all at once? And, do I use the HOME_CSC or the CSC file?
Edit: **** yeah! I flashed the BT, AP, CP, and HOME_CSC all at once in Odin v3.11.1 and it didn't wipe data, just updated my phone to PH7. I am now updating via OTA to PJ2.

You're supposed to flash all at once... Careful going to PJ2 though. bootloader version changes... And they haven't released flashable firmware for PJ2. I found a workaround flashing some U firmware (PI3) with new bootloader 4. Here's the link i went to. And i might add this is a worst case scenario. There's no going back due to the 7's locked bootloader. Of course this is only if you brick your current PJ2 somehow. Which i managed. Developers at work! Anyhow, wish you luck on PJ2, and i'll start development on it (depending on the nougat drop date) once i get a firmware release. Cheers!

*Long post incoming...
The OTA update to PJ2 went fine, no problems. Currently running smooth. My initial issue was I was previously rooted, and decided to go back to stock. When I went back to stock I flashed the PG1 firmware but it wasn't from Sammobile. I downloaded all the firmware files separately from an XDA post that the root post linked too (big mistake). I then didn't flash them all at the same time, and I don't think I flashed the HOME_CSC file, just the CSC one. It went fine and everything but when PH7 dropped everytime I tried to OTA update to PH7 it would fail at 32% every time during the bluescreen/android guy screen. I'm not sure what's being checked at 32% to why it failed there, but my guess was that the files I flashed did something that was invalid and the updating process wouldn't continue becuase of a validation issue, probably from flashing just CSC file and not HOME_CSC file, just a guess.
After I flashed PH7, I was so happy my data wasn't wiped, and was also happy when PJ2 updated just fine. Though I was bummed, I thought PJ2 was the Nougat update...
You're a life-saver dude! And, thanks for the website you gave me to download the firmware, took like 15min to download a 2.5GB file, compared to 5 hours when downloading from Sammobile and other sites. Thanks a bunch!
I had an S2 and S5 for 2 years each before the S7 and damn were those easy to root and flash ROMs/Mods on. Damn locked bootloader! The one thing I think Samsung fcked up on with this phone. I should have waited for the Google Pixel... I'm with Sprint (obv) and re-newing my contract I get a discount off the phone, and having an unlimited data family plan, plus a discount on my bill for where I work made me stay and renew my contract with Sprint.
What exactly are you working on? A way to unlock the bootloader, an easy way to root (the current way is tedious and laggy), or a ROM? I'm interested.

Glad you got squared away... I'm not really working on much. Just going to Mod a Stock ROM again, to start. I'm probably not the guy who will figure out custom recovery on the phone. lol But I'm going to dive into some documentation on the topic, and get acquainted. That's a far reach, though. I just don't see a lot of support or development for this phone series. So I want to put some stuff out there. Maybe even slim down and automate the rooting process. (Think SkipSoft Android Toolkit)
I don't know. Any ideas or requests are always welcomed.

If you're on the latest (PJ2) stay right where your are. There's no going backwards from there with the release on bootloader 4. You need to wait out the PJ2 firmware release.

Please advise - Wanna install G935U G935UUES4BQG1 on G935T G935TUVU4BQG5

Hi guys
I am using a T Mobile unlocked S7 edge with Ufone network which got OTA and upgraded to G935TUVU4BQG5 (see attached), this obviously has a lot of T Mobile bloatware. Also i have rooted it with SU.
I have read good things about G935U firmware, can i flash the latest firmware G935UUES4BQG1 on my existing one?
If yes, how should i go about this? Thanks in advance

1. when I ODIN I grab the BL, AP, and CSC from the SM-G935U and I grab the CP from the SM-G935T. I have never had a problem when new versions of each come out.

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935U/TMB/ here you go
if you cannot download from there then just install https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195920328 which is the one before latest, then get ota (around 200MB) to upgrade to latest
I downloaded from the second link and it wasn't tmobile based U firmware but Sprint. So proceed with caution there. I had to download from the sammobile link but download speeds were quite slow without premium membership. Working good so far. :good:

So, right now, I have SM-G935T BQH7 ROM. (It sux - my streaming video apps are hanging badly).
So, I would like to try out SM-G935U BQH3 ROM. (Hopefully without resetting the phone).
So, you would take BL, AP from BQH3 and CP from BQH7 and if I use HOME_CSC, I should not have to re-install everything and T-mobile wifi calling should work, correct?
Just want to confirm before going ahead with it.
Thank you.

So, IF I were to use non home one.
Then, it is ALL the files from 935U except for CP and use CP from latest T-mobile version? (BQH7 in this case)?
Thanks.

I got them from updato.com
I put BQH7 and reset to factory using non-home CSC. When I did not use non-home CSC for any other version than BQH7, the system will freeze and generally performance wasn't good. When I went BACK to previous version of the T-mobile rom without reset, the whole thing started to crash badly so came back to BQH7.
That said, it did NOT fix my issue with streaming videos.
I am going to just flash 935U version.
935U BL/AP and I will use CP file from 935T BQH7, then non-home CSC from 935U and cross my fingers and hope for the best.

Hey
doing a fresh firmware install and re installing all apps again would be a better idea to get that new phone feeling
install syncios on pc and backup all your apps and data, then flash the yummy G935U firmware, then install everything with one click with syncios NO PAINS
good lucks

That tool does not appear to be free.
Is there free tool to do this?
I would not mind being able to back up all the apps (with data)..
Thanks.

Samsung s7 edge sm G935T firmware update?

Hi,
I have recently bought Samsung s7 edge T mobile unlocked , but it not showing update. The last updated was android 6.0.1 on November 1st, 2016. I have also tried to connected with smart switch pc app but it's not showing any update either. I want to update my device with official firmware so that it will update automatically and regularly. I'm in Pakistan.
I have seen on Sam mobile to update via Odin. I want to know is this official update? I have not rooted and don't want to get rooted , I want to keep it official.
Thank you
WEIRD is knox tripped ?
Could be that the unlock was not done officially by the carrier, and it tripped KNOX or the OTA security bit.
I've been looking for a reputable download for the SM-G935T G935TUVS4BQJ2 firmware. For some reason T-Mobile does not have a download link now.

:good: Thanks for that! yeah, the DL rate on that link is *MUCH* better than the first one I found. The other one was downloading at something like 450kbps.

Phone is alive again! Rooted, mildly debloated BQJ2 firmware (by mildly I mean, some sammy apps, LookOut, and T-mobile app removed)
Of note, Substratum made my phone lag for some reason, even with the governors set correctly and whatnot. Will try clearing cache on the app and then clear cache in recovery and see if it works better. The whole reason I had to reflash is that for some reason when I accidentally changed the GPU governor in Kernel Adiutor, it broke Play store.
Can anyone help with this. After updating to QBJ2, it won't detect network anymore, keeps searching!
Anyone got a fix please?
I have virus
What I have to do?
