Sm-g935u for t-mobile

Hi
Has anyone tired SM-G935U for T-Mobile does wifi calling works, and video calling.

I gave it a go yesterday. I would not recommend it. It seems like it is causing issues, if you follow the thread on it. Also if you are on the July 1st security patch (the update that came out on 07/08/2016) then trying to flash the G935U firmware will softbrick your device. Either way the best way to get back to stock is to use Smart Switch and re-initialize the phone. You will lose all of your internal data either way.

Ok thanks for the infor. Did wifi and video calling worked. I'll wait until G935U gets firmware update.

Are you asking about SM-G935U firmware on the SM-G935T or using the SM-G935U on the T-mobile network?

SM-G935U firmware on the SM-G935T

Didn't try with the latest FW, but when I tried installing before I constantly softbricked my phone.

If you have the actual g935u device, everything works with tmobile

SM-G935T is on v3 while SM-G935u is on v2 which is causing the softbrick .

Have anyone tried this recently? as of October 1st? Reports on the AT&T forum seem to suggest that it's working now.

where is the link at for the new G935U UPDATE FOR TMO

this is encouraging please keep us informed of any progress

I have the SM-G935U Olympic edition running on T-Mobile with the latest firmware PG9, Aug. 1st patch and I can see LTE+ every now and then. I do also see the option for WIFI-Calling and VOLTE. I can not verify if they worked properly but the options are there. Im not rooted because I still want Samsung Pay for now. ROM seems fast and good battery life and no T-Mobile BLOAT I was able to uninstall (yes uninstalled not disable) even the samsung email app and samsung+.

It looks like the bootloader for the Unbranded version has increased. This should allow us to switch from T-mobile to U since they are now both at 4.
If you follow the release of older firmware it coincides with new bootloader revisions. If so then the AT&T, T-mobile and Unbranded version are all now at bootloader 4 which allows us to flash any one of them.
For example, if you look at the history of firmware releases for the T-mobile variant, you'll note the number has changed when the bootloader has been updated.

Well, I just upgraded my Tmobile version which was on v3 bootloader to the new SM-935U firmware and sure enough, it updated the bootload to v4:

I have tried multiple zips to try to get the U software on my phone but always ends up not booting. It will show galaxy S7 and then boot straight back into recovery.
Can someone please provide a link to the exact download files I need. Sorry to start a thread over this. I'm just having a hard time finding the correct files. Thanks in advanced.

Anyone?

It should be as (simple) as..
Rooting your phone -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039 (this won't trip KNOX)
Downloading the proper firmware from SamMobile -> https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G930U/
Flash the firmware via odin (you can use the same method found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/official-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3335065)
Profit
I just did this recently to switch from SM-G930R4 to SM-G930V
Note, you will lose all data on the phone if you try this.

Go to Updato.com and get the newest SM-930U firmware from January and flash via Odin. The 930U firmware you flash must have a bootloader the as or newer than your current firmware or it will not boot. You do not have to root to update via Odin.

Less boat , no Verizon boot animation, and my favorite the spam dialer Verizon thought was a good idea to remove. I like to think of the U as pure Samsung vs the Verizon gimped software.

Is the bootloader unlocked? Is there any down side? LTE performance etc? Can this still be done if I loaded the Nougat beta on my G930V? Thanks in advance.

Yes jedi the built in Caller ID is deffinitly cool.

Bootloader is locked because it is a snapdragon variant. Only downside is can think is you would have to pay your bill in store or on a PC. Lte seems the same. Yes if nougat is on. You just load up the most recent U firmware and flash over nougat in odin.

it shoudl be simple...but it failed for me in one of my two phones. now it keeps going to recovery (downloading the original firmware to reflash it). the one that worked was a SMG930VZDA (made in vietnam) while the one that didn't is a SMG930VZKA (made in korea). I hadn't updated either one from the original firmware, but not sure what firmware they came with....
so if it works, it's great, but if it fails...

You can still use the My Verizon app to pay, if you want to. You do lose Verizon's native VVM app, but there are workarounds to use Voice or another third-party VVM app (I personally use YouMail).

Hey your right! One less hassle.

Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a new g930r4 (US Cellular) because my last samsung got stolen. Anyway, the first time I turned on the phone, I started having multiple issues (kept rebooting, unable to recognize headset, kept freezing). Then I decided to change it to the g930U firmware and I noticed a HUGE difference. I totally recommend this to anybody that has same problems I mentioned. Thanks to all the information from this post, I was able to successfully flash the firmware. Thank you all for the support! I hope this helps someone out there whos still got some doubts.

Hello, I have the SM-G930V Snapdragon variant in the US and I would really like to root it to get a custom ROM. If you wouldn't mind, I'd appreciate a reply (if you have one) to this thread I made on the topic: https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/help/questions-bootloader-rooting-custom-t3721109

Should I Update to Nougat now or wait for the U Firmware?

Should I update to the Nougat firmware now or should I wait until the U firmware comes out?
Or would it also be possible to flash the U firmware later down the road? I'm not sure if this would work since I got the phone in November and when I tried to flash the same firmware for the U model the bootloader prevented it.
Let me know what you guys think, I want to get off of the T-Mobile firmware and get rid of all the bloatware that comes with it.

It's up to you. I used the u firmware before and of course it was snappy. Not much snappier than the T-Mobile firmware tho since I use package disabler pro to disable the tmobile bloat. Plus I prefer the tmobile firmware since the wifi calling works the way it should just incase I have no signal.

I bought the phone used and unlocked it, I'm on ATT so I don't need wifi calling. I want to get rid of all the T-Mobile stuff. I kind of want to upgrade it now and then upgrade to U later, but last time I tried to flash a firmware to the U version it didn't let me.

I would upgrade if I were you. I ran U firmware for quite sometime and that was snappy but nougat puts it's to shame with how smooth and fast it is. You can disable most of the TMB bloat with the applications option in settings and then use package disabler pro to disable those pesky system apps that you won't be able to disable in settings/applications.

Well of COURSE! I check sammobile about every 3 hours ( I know it's sad lol). I have a feeling it's going to be a while, but hey a lot of people didn't think we would get 7.0 before the s8 dropped......

Yeah, that's why I'm scared about upgrading now and not being able to later. That's also what I'm wondering, is will I be able to do a 'lateral' update to the firmware from Nougat 7.0 T to Nougat 7.0 U? I don't think the bootloader will let me, and ultimately I would like to be on the U firmware.
I'm not surprised they did, if they do it now they can boost sales a little before the S8 comes out. They also aren't/didn't (don't know when it's happening/happened) announce it at Mobile World Congress so that could help with sales of their current device.

Yeah pretty sure you have to be on whatever firmware you are trying to upgrade to or else it will fail. Well Odin files might flash mis-matching firmware but I know trying to flash it in recovery every via apply update from SD card it would fail with mis-matching firmware.

Welp. I did it, I upgraded to Nougat, and I regret it. My phone feels slower than before and it feels like it wasn't worth it.

I want the un bloated version....
Sent from my SM-G935U using XDA-Developers Legacy app

I never ran the the U version, but the T version with stuff disabled using package disabler seems ok to me. But to each his own.

If it's slower you're doing something wrong. Do a factory reset.
I'm patiently waiting N for the U

Not from a website, he must be a samsung ses or employee.

Any word on a potential release date for nougat? Extremely dissatisfied with Samsungs lack of support with the U variants. Makes me want to avoid Samsung products here on out.

It makes me think that they're waiting to synchronize the S8 and S7u software releases... So perhaps the S7u will get all the S8 features before the carrier versions?

I know the SM-G930VL got Nougat today. No Wi-Fi calling or video call but it did finally get it. It's the Straight Talk unlocked version.

That's pretty pitiful when prepaid carriers get it before unlocked owners...

It's pretty stupid that an UNLOCKED version doesn't have the latest software, so dumb of Samsung to do that.
Also None of the Verizon versions of S7 has the updated firmware too, so far only T-Mobile in the US has 7.0
May be AT&T does too

All the major carriers have it. Verizon just got it about a week ago.

I bought this thinking 7.0 was on it, and quite disappointed that it's not, and it's not even available.

You can Odin another carriers nougat on the U. I'm using Verizon's until it does cone out.

Do I need to root my phone to do that? or I can just ODIN it?
Any instructions or videos on it, really don't want to root the phone as it decrease the value

No you don't have to root. It's just a simple Odin procedure.

what? no, just scroll down (bottom of first post) to where it says "return to stock" and follow the instructions there. you don't have to be rooted to install another official samsung rom. and also fwiw even if you do end up rooting you can always reinstall stock rom without tripping knox (as implied in the tutorial).

Just like he said but when you download the Verizon firmware, make sure you use CSC and not the HOME CSC when you flash. Home will keep your data but I'm not sure how it'll react coming from a different carrier.

Android 11 decreased my SOT by close to 2 or 2.5 hours. Wanting to flash back to Android 10 (HELP)

So I just bought a used Galaxy s10 Plus on eBay. I was getting amazing battery life and great SOT but I was forced to download Android 11 by force update and now my SOT has gone down almost 2.5 hours from when it was previously running on Android 10. I despise having to deal with these issues even though its a used phone. On the SamMobile website I found the correct PDA G975U1UES5GUD1 but I can't find the CSC code on my phone and I am afraid I will flash the wrong firmware and damage the phone.
How can I Find the CSC code on my phone? The device is been used on Verizon prepaid via Red Pocket Mobile and its Factory GSM and CDMA unlocked. I would really appreciate any help I can get with this.
Thank you so much in advance.

If you are you can find it by dialing *#1234# on the dial app. But i think it is VZW since you've said the carrier is Verizon.

Seems like this is it since your carrier is Verizon. You are residing in the US, right?

You won't damage your phone if they mismatch, probably only carrier settings would break

But the link I gave according to that you are having Verizon as the carrier and you are living in the US when you got force OTA update then it’ll match.

That's if you can go back.
Doesn't 11 update the boot loader version too?

Well yeah now that you mention it probably.

Hmm, but there should be a way of degrading the software even so.

If he uses Odin he can downgrade fine enough,
Unfortunately, I think he'll lose his data though.
I haven't downgraded from One UI 3.0 before since I only got a A21s.

I'm still running Pie. It's what I've been seeing here about the 11 update updating the boot loader too. Maybe that's OTA upgrades only.
Not a concern of mine though.
Data loss is a given... at least be prepared for it.

Yeah, I agree since I'm still running 10 Idk really about bootloader changes from 10-11.
But if that's the case then Its probably impossible to downgrade without getting a bricked phone.

Doublecheck the bootloader version code of both versions of android so you don't brick your phone.

This is starting to sound too risky I do appreciate everyones help on this post honestly but at this point I am not going to risk messing up a $330 phone. But thank you all for making things clear.

Well, you can wait for the fix then. Maybe Samsung will release a fix to solve that issue

Yeah hopefully thank you for your help tho. Appreciate it.

No problem, but if the kernel hasn't changed the ROM can be downgraded. If it has you can just take it to Samsung and ask them to downgrade for you.
My friend did that.
