Hi all
I've just received my Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F) with firmware version:
G930FXXU1APGJ
Which, as far as I know, is a taiwanese firmware. This would make sense, because I'm in Madrid (Spain) but I bought the S7 via eBay from a seller in Hong Kong.
My phone works well when connected to a WiFi network, but its behaviour is strange when I connect to my voice/data plan (Movistar). Although I can use the browser, things like Gmail, Google Play and WhatsApp work in a strange way: I can't send videos or pictures, Google Play doesn't even connect to the account (the screen goes blank) and Gmail doesn't send emails.
I've discovered this firmware might be the problem with my phone, and I probably should use the Spanish firmware. After reading the forums I've search in SamMobile and I'm downloading this one:
G930FXXU1BPKD
Which seems to be the right one for Spain (Movistar) (there's also a little code, 'XEC', but I don't know what that means).
I'd like to know if I'm right. If so, the instructions to install the firmware are as follow according to that page:
***
Flashing guide:
1. Download and extract a zip file containing your desired firmware.
2. Open Odin Tool.
3. Boot your device in the "Download Mode":
Press Volume Down, Power and Home buttons at same time for 5-8 seconds until download mode is active.
4. Connect your device to PC via the USB cable while in download mode.
5. Next, check the "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" options in Odin Tool.
6. Hit the AP/PDA button then browse and select a tar.md5 file from the extracted folder.
7. Finally press the start button to begin flashing the firmware update on your device.
********
But I wonder if someone could confirm if this is OK. I'm not sure if my S7 has to be rooted first to do this. I have not rooted it yet, but I've seen it's possible to do it (quite easily, i think?).
Thanks!
That's it you've nailed it.

I'd flash the PHE version instead of the XEC
PHE is for Spain and not connected to any company
For Spanish info you could also have a look at

Good to know, thanks! Downloading that one right now from this thread at HTCMania
Oh my god. After starting the process in Odin it has stopped in 1 second (succeed: 0 / Failed: 1) and the S7 screen shows the little white progress bar just started and the message "Do not turn off target".
I have quitted Odin, but I have not done anything to the Galaxy S7. It's still connected and showing that info. What should I do?
Could I have bricked the phone!?!? :/
Fortunately everythings ok... except I've been unable to update the firmware. After that first try, I have observed that there is something that I'm doing wrong.
1. I put the S7 in download mode
2. I launch Odin and connect the S7, it says "Added" and the blue button with "O:[COM3]" appears in Odin's window.
3. I add BL, AP, CP, and CSC from the uncompressed firmware I've downloaded twice (I've found them also at Updato, fast download)
4. I see that the only options checked are "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time". The "Re-Partition" option IS NOT CHECKED.
5. I push Start and it fails inmediately: it says re-partition has failed. How is that possible it that option was unchecked?

I've also factory reset the phone, enabled USB Debugging and OEM options under Developer Options, then accessed Recovery Mode, wiped data/factory reset and wiped cache, and then I have gone to Download Mode to try again. Nothing.
What can I do to update my S7 and install the Spanish firmware if everytime the re-partition error makes it impossible?
Use the csc file instead of home_csc provided in the firmware file

I'm using the CSC file always, I don't touch the home_csc...
What would happen if I enable the re-partition option?
Have you solved the problem? I have exactly the same chase; galaxy s7 Hong Kong (ofertitas jejeje), error when send images on whatsapp...

Would anyone be willing to help me flash my.phone to ee as iv never done it b4 watched 10 videos on youtube so i have a rough idea i was thinking someone could facebook video call me or Skype and walk me through it step by step thanks from alex

It's really easy mate, you're just nervous. This is what I did last week and it worked although you do this at your own risk.
First thing - download the EE EVR ROM from Sam Mobile HERE It takes ages on the free download - best to leave it overnight.
Download and install odin from HERE
Unzip the file you downloaded from Sam Mobile into 5 files. They will each start with BL, AP, CP, CSC, HOME_CSC.
Ignore Home_CSC and load each of the other files into the boxes in Odin marked BL AP CP and CSC.
Don't make any other changes in Odin.
Make a backup of any files you need to keep on your phone because this WILL factory reset your phone.
Put your phone into download mode. From turned off, press and hold vol down, home button and power on until it boots into a blue screen with a Warning sign (don't let go of the buttons until your get the blue screen). Then press vol up as it says on screen to enter download mode. Your phone will say Downloading.....
Plug it into your PC using a standard USB cable.
Wait for Odin to say Added!!! in the log screen on the left.
Then press start in Odin.
When you get a success message reboot the phone and go through the setup as normal. You'll find WIFI calling under Applications/Phone if it worked.
Good Luck.
gaz its a unlocked phone atm threw carphone warehouse so if i put the ee software on it for the time i using it for wifi calling how do i put the unlocked firmware back on afterwards when i come to sell it as cex give more money for unlocked phones. is there away of just going back to the stock carphone ware house firmware in 12 months time

pretty much what I do. when you wanna sell your phone, Download the BTU firmware for your phone flash it via ODIN and it will be unbranded and such remember to do a factor reset after flashing, so CEX will buy it as unlocked. :good:

This is what you need.. Oden
I used Odin3 v3.10.7 and it worked perfectly for the EE Firmware.. I also purchased mine from CPW
My tmobile galaxy s7 got stuck on something like bbl error and in the center of the screen the android logo and the sbl error and upload mode nothing else not able to get on download mode or recovery mode totally stuck need help odin not able to flash anything none of the latest firmware nothing,..
Ehat i did was i flash with odin a verizon firmware or something like fof6 combo firmware with the latest tmobile firmware found on androidfilehost.
My phone is now bricked or what i call softbricked i need any kind of help on how to flash or a tool to forcely flash something to unbrick and be able to restore stock firmware any nice developer please help i still paying this s7 and i really want to revive my phone any help will be greatly appreciated?
I'm no expert by any means, just a dude that was in the same position a few weeks ago.
First you'll want to get ODIN, which is your flashing tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3804544&d=1467772303
Next you need to find the stock firmware. Lots of sites will have it but 99% of them use some kind of bandwidth throttling crap. The firmware is 4.5gb uncompressed and about 2gb compressed. So if you can find someone hosting the firmware on their Google Drive that's your fastest bet, otherwise it'll take hours or days to download.
The latest firmware at the time of this post is G935TUVU4APIA. You don't necessarily need the latest, you just need to get your phone restored. If there is newer firmware available than what you flash to your phone, when your phone successfully boots you'll get an update to the latest.
Wish I could find a direct link for you but it seems these will always be moving around. That being said search for TMB-G935TUVU4APIA-20160927113301.zip. That was the file I downloaded and it contained the 5 files listed below, which you should extract to your preferred location on your PC:
AP_G935TUVU3APG1_CL8439036_QB10213096_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
BL_G935TUVU3APG1_CL8439036_QB10213096_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CP_G935TUVU3APG1_CL8439036_QB10213096_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CSC_TMB_G935TTMB3APG1_CL8439036_QB10213096_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
HOME_CSC_TMB_G935TTMB3APG1_CL8439036_QB10213096_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 (optional)
The first 4 of the 5 listed above are the important ones. The 5th file, "HOME_CSC...", from what I understand preserves your data should you need to flash over a working phone, but we'll ignore that file for this task. Note the "AP", "BL", "CP", etc., at the beginning of each filename - more on that shortly.
Finally, the home stretch.
* Power off your phone completely. If you're boot looping hold VOL DOWN and POWER.
* Boot into recovery mode by pressing and holding VOL DOWN, HOME and POWER at the same time. Release when you see recovery mode warning.
* Connect your phone to your PC.
* Open ODIN and make sure the phone is recognized. It will show up under ID:COM and have some assigned COM port like 9 or 10.
* Click on the BL button and select the BL_G935TUVU3APG1_CL8439036_QB10213096_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 file from your extracted firmware package.
* Repeat this process for AP, CP, and CSC files.
* Once all files are selected click START.
After some time your phone will be flashed with the stock firmware and everything should be back to the way it was when you purchased it. Hope that helps!

Sorry man, I can't read! Missed the part where you said you already tried ODIN.
You may want to do a factory reset first before flashing. I think you hold VOL UP, HOME and POWER to get there. Follow the steps to do a factory reset. Then try ODIN again with stock T-Mobile firmware.
tmobile s7 upload mode
the problem here is when I press vol up or vol down it goes straight to this
sbl error upload mode
and Odin detects as download mode but cant not flash anything I do have the latest firmware.
I will attach the picture of the actual error

tmobile s7 upload mode
this was the file I flashed before this happens
found it on android filehost under the search of G930T
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862666887
it may give some directions thanks
Sorry my friend, wish I could help here. It looks like your bootloader is jacked. Did you mean "sbl" instead "bbl" error? I think that's the secondary bootloader. And from the file you linked it appears you flashed the Galaxy S7 "flat" (G930T) firmware onto your Galaxy S7 Edge (G935T). Never thought that would be a brickable operation but apparently so. Unless someone's dealt with this before your only option may be to return the phone and see if they can either reflash it with some other proprietary tool or exchange it. I don't know how to push the stock boot.bin and sbl.bin onto these phones but maybe someone here does.
tmobile s7 upload mode
yes sir is a flat version of the s7
and what you are saying is correct.
well I will sit and wait for something to come up wit a light thanks...
well I think I fried thos device just gonna sit and wait for a developer to find some source of code to reboot this thing
does anyone knows how to fix this problem " SBL error upload mode " ? please........... thanks
Hello everyone,
Hope you're having a nice day,
So I Factory Reset my SM-J530F.
When I enter from scratch, it says that I have to write my previous Google Account that was synced to the phone, which I completely forgot.
So I try these FRP bypass methods on YouTube.
Basically these are the steps I followed:
1) Turn off my phone
2) Access the Download mode
3) Sync my phone with my computer
4) Odin: I'd already downloaded the COMBINATION_FAC_FA70 MD5 file (for my model), and this 4-file patch that included the AP, BL, CP, CSC_OLB files (Which I later noticed that they had J530YDXU1AQ written on their descriptions instead of J530FXXU1AQ which is my model, but I thought that it's not too important)
5) I flash with the COMBINATION file. It succeeds.
6) Phone goes to Factory Binary mode.
7) I go to Settings, then Developer Options and I enable OEM Unlocking.
8) Switch off the phone, then back to Download mode
9) Now, I try to flash with the AP, BL, CP, CSC files... and it FAILS. I forgot what it exactly said in the Log since I closed the Odin window, but something about Secure fail : Bootloader.
Now, what I meant by "sabotaging" is that I attempted this so many times, but no results. To the point where I can no longer reboot my phone to its normal "Welcome, choose a language" interface since it's now stuck in Factory/Binary mode.
I noticed one more thing: the OEM Unlocking enable/disable button is sort of freezed (I can't either enable or disable)

I apologize if this was too much details. I'm clueless whether I completely damaged my phone and there is no chance to take it back to its normal state. What do I do? Any options to just repair it from scratch and also bypass the FRP Google Account while I'm at it?

youre getting an auth error which means that you might be trying to flash firmware built for a different phone on it, even a differing carriers firmware will cause this, heck even trying to flash unbranded firmware on a phone that was originally branded to a carrier will cause this. What phone (exact model number/w carrier and/or firmware version its currently on) do you have and what are you trying to flash?
also, very similar issue found here by googling this term. Go ahead and click me. You know you want to.
You downloaded the wrong firmware.
These are info from filename for Android Q firmware for SM-G975U TMB:
G975USQU2CSKP
CL17369568
QB27584545
REV00
None of the filename in your odin screenshot matched, you DL'ed a wrong firmware.
Just use Frija to download your correct files, use SM-G975U for model and TMB for CSC.

Here are the instructions from Sammobile.
Extract the firmware file you just downloaded. You should get 5 files:
AP (System &Recovery)
BL (Bootloader)
CP (Modem / Radio)
CSC_*** (Country / Region / Operator)
HOME_CSC_*** (Country / Region / Operator)
Add each file to its respective field in Odin v3.14.1. Use CSC_*** if you want to do a clean flash or HOME_CSC_*** if you want to keep your apps and data.
Reboot your phone in Download / Odin mode (make sure your device is off) with the following button combo: POWER + VOLUME DOWN + BIXBY
Other options in case first option did not work or isn't possible.
Option 2 VOLUME DOWN + VOLUME UP then USB cable
Option 3 POWER + VOLUME DOWN + VOLUME UP
Option 4 POWER + VOLUME DOWN + HOME BUTTON
Option 5 (Note9) USB cable + VOLUME DOWN + BIXBY
Option 6 (Note10) POWER + VOLUME UP
Once in download mode, connect your phone to the PC, preferably using the original USB cable you got with your phone. Odin should detect your device and a BLUE box will show up with the COM port number. (Be sure, the SAMSUNG-drivers are installed on your PC!)
Do NOT tick any extra boxes. The only options to be ticked are F.Reset Time and Auto-Reboot.
Click the start button, wait for Odin to say 'PASS' in a GREEN box. Once the flash is complete, your phone will reboot, and you can disconnect your phone from the PC.

Did you try to flash Android 11 with Odin ?
If not download the last standard "Odin3 v3.14.1" here.
Download your Android 11 firmware and decompress it.
You should get 4 files : 1 starting name with "AP", 1 starting with "BL", 1 starting with "HOME_CSC" and 1 starting with "CSC_"
Boot your tablet in download mode (from off, volume up and down at same time and plug usb cable connected on your computer) wait the blue screen to appear, then one time volume up to enter download mode.
Open Odin with admin rights and select the square for "BL" then click on "BL" and choose the file starting with "BL" from your firmware. Repeat the process for "AP" and "CSC" (for CSC choose the file starting with "CSC_" to factory reset the tablet at the same time).
Check that only the options "Auto reboot" and "F. Reset time" are checked.
Click on start and wait the flashing process end with a green pass square.
Your tablet will auto reboot and you can close Odin.

Open Odin with admin rights and select the square for "BL" then click on "BL" and choose the file starting with "BL" from your firmware. Repeat the process for "AP" and "CSC" (for CSC choose the file starting with "CSC_" to factory reset the tablet at the same time).
Check that only the options "Auto reboot" and "F. Reset time" are checked.
Click on start and wait the flashing process end with a green pass square.
Your tablet will auto reboot and you can close Odin.

Use Frija tool to download your firmware.
You can use "HOME_CSC" to keep your data but with chances to get bugs since you downgrading your firmware.
If you want to avoid the maximum of bugs you need to have TWRP recovery and format "cache" and "dalvik-cache".
If you don't have TWRP you need to be rooted to delete files present in those directories "root/data/dalvik-cache/arm/" and "root/data/dalvik-cache/arm64" and delete "cache" from stock recovery.
The best will be to backup your tablet with "Samsung Smart Switch" and when you flash to use "CSC_" to do a factory reset. A factory reset is always recommanded when you upgrade or downgrade a major android version.
A factory reset will wipe the partition "cache", "data" partition. "Dalvik-cache" will be deleted too since it is on the "data" partition.
Thanks mate.

Yes you have to find a website to download the firmware.
I tested with manual settings in "Frija" it's not working. You can get only the oldest android 12 version.
You can find all historical firmwares changlog and version here. The last android 11 (XSA) is P610XXU2DUL9.
