So on my wife's sprint s7, she setup finger print scanner for lockscreen. But some how got locked out. So all it would ask for is the password which she didn't remember either. So my only option was a factory reset. I did that in recovery but when it went thru setup, it wanted the Gmail associated with that device which was her email. It wouldn't take that either. So came down to needing to odin stock firmware. I forgot the other day her phone updated to PJ2 firmware. Well all I came across online was stock firmware for PF2. I used the newest odin and filled all slots with appropriate files and flashed. Get nothing but failed. Assuming it's because I couldn't downgrade firmwares. My total fault. I haven't odined or rooted my phones since the note 5. Where it was just one file to fill in on the ap slot on odin. So basically her phone is a paper weight because when I reboot it, it goes thru setup but once it gets to the point of connecting to network, it just wants to sit there. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there another firmware I can download to get my wife's phone working again? I couldn't find PJ2 Stock firmware anywhere online. Please help!!!
Try the unlocked firmware. PG9 was the unlocked version just prior to PI3 (the latest unlocked version). This will allow you to have hotspot without rooting.

I ended up flashing G930U API3 firmware and I got it working again because it has the new bootloader like PJ2. I wonder if I can go from that to PH7? I would really like to stay on a Sprint firmware

I totally screwed up my last post. I copied it from notepad and most of it didn't copy over, which I just now realized after reading your quote of my post. I had written exactly what you ended up doing - flash the unlocked firmware and use Shortcut Master Lite app to enable hotspot. I also got the versions wrong. The versions I posted are the sprint firmware, not the unlocked. Been a long day. Did you get hotspot working?

Unfortunately when you switch to/from the sprint firmware to/from the unlocked firmware, your phone's data will be wiped, so essentially factory reset. So you would lose hotspot if you flashed back to the sprint firmware from the unlocked firmware. You could root, but the root for this phone on the sprint firmware is tricky and unstable. And I'm pretty sure from what I've read in the rooting thread that the last couple of versions of the sprint firmware (PH7 and definitely PJ2) cannot be rooted. I think the last sprint firmware version that you can even get root on is maybe PE1, and I don't think you can downgrade to that version any more because of the new bootloader.

Ain't really too worried about root at this point. Just wanna know if since I'm on the unlocked fw, can I ever flash back to sprint fw?

I'm pretty sure you can. I had done it from an earlier unlocked version to an earlier sprint version. I think as long as the bootloader of the sprint firmware you're trying to flash back to is at least as new as the bootloader of the unlocked firmware you're coming from, it should work. But I haven't done it myself with these newer firmware versions. I bet after your wife uses the unlocked version for a while, she won't want to go back to the sprint version. I've never looked back since I tried the unlocked firmware. The only reason I did flash back to sprint firmware was just to see if it could be done. I immediately flashed the unlocked firmware back onto my phone. I really hate what sprint does to this phone with all the sponsored apps and sprint apps they dump on there, and most you can't remove or disable.

So I just read this thread, and just want to confirm. I'm on PJ2 on sprint. I can flash G930U API3 firmware with Odin and get rid of all the sprint bloat correct? Will the device still work on Sprint's network then? And I can root PI3? If this is all correct I'll be doing this today lol.

I flashed the U firmware and then flashed the latest Tmobile, or at least it think its the latest (Baseband: G935TUVU4APIA), and all functions seem to be working properly, tested SMS, MMS, WIFI Calling, not too sure what other Tmobile functions also are related to the modem so let me know what else I should test.

Is att your carrier? If so is volte working for you? I loved the u firmware but lack of volte bothered me.
Volte seemed to have worked fine. Anytime I was on a call 4g LTE was workibg. No HD calling or WiFi calling.

ATT is not my carrier, I carrier unlocked the phone and have only used the phone with a Tmobile SIM. I flashed the U firmware and the Tmobile modem firmware on it and I have seen better reception then when I had the ATT firmware installed opposed to the U firmware with the Tmobile Modem. VOLTE is not stated on the signal but the quality is the same as VoLTE of course there would need to be testing done on my end to prove if it is indeed working as VoLTE. Any suggestions? Would love to contribute with this.
EDIT: Unless of course you were asking if VoLTE was working with ATT on the ufirmware and if this is just ATT specific and if it is the case then my post wouldn't have much addition to the thread.

this odin writes to userdata? So it allows full carrier switch? That's huge if true

You do not have to ODIN back. It will update normally. It was pulled from a US Cellular Device which was sold unlocked. I have the Canada version also with the built in Caller ID to identify unknown numbers with the Samsung Smart Call feature. and you do not have to program the APN. Yall let me know if you want me to upload it along with instructions.

I have a Sprint S8+
Have tried flashing over it with this ROM and a Verizon ROM.
Both flash worked completely n ODIN but when the phone reboots, it is still Sprint.

Am I doing something wrong?
I have tried both Home CSC and Non-Home CSC and the Userdata file was in UMS field in ODIN.

I have the Verizon variant and downloaded the Canadian version, and flashed that over completely the regular CSC, not the home_CSC. This was using the prince comsey or whatever version of Odin, and I let it reboot after. During the setup I did the same thing the other guy mentioned where you only set a pin, and select yes to boot the device with your pin. Once I got through the setup I turned on dev mode, and flashed my stock FW, which was Verizon. I selected all files and chose the home_csc from the Verizon package along with the VZW AP, BL and CP files.
Flashed them all over and let the device reboot. Once it turned on it took a minute or so to get LTE and service in general but it worked.

Just an update but I tried the Canadian one on my device using the home.csc. Notice it does not have a UMS. It worked! The Canadian version is super clean! I am on AT&T, besides for the known things like wifi calling. Are we missing anything by not using the US Cellular version?
Thanks again, it just seems like the US cellular version wouldn't take for me but I am now happy and bloatware free.

I noticed that every time I flashed back and forth, remnants of Sprint stayed until I performed the carrier switching part of my guide...at which point I was able to put complete T-Mobile...For you, maybe that may help going from unlocked to VZW.

Sim works fine in my my backup Note 5. Also works fine in my Note 8 on unlocked fw. Its just when I return to stock it does not register on any network. Seems to have something to do with my csc files. Using the Samsung device info app it says there are no available csc's and my build version is listed as XAA instead of VZW like when it was original stock. Maybe you could do a step by step guide for return to stock. I must be missing a step somewhere. Thanks for the help btw.

Actually carrier flashing is the step by step guide...there may be a problem with your device or your download....but other than that if your device works on unlocked firmware and not carrier firmware, I'd say bad download...because following carrier flash guide gets you to carrier firmware...

The no connection issues I was having were the result of the incorrect carrier csc files not being loaded. I've been playing around with various csc features and have just about found the perfect combo.

Could you post what worked for you when you get it going?
Hello,
I had a s8+ and I was able to re-brand it from AT&T to T-mobile; although I don't remember the exact process. I recently got an S10+ Verizon from my boss and I have it carrier unlocked and running on T-mobile. I was wondering if you can flash T-Mobile branded firmware so I can get access to WiFi Calling and the built in visual voicemail. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Yes you can. I don't think there is a inbuilt visual voicemail on the t mobile branded devices. I had to install from the play store.

Yes, I have done it. I ended up going to non-branded firmware. As soon as you put your sim in, it installs visual voicemail....at least it did for me.

Where did you get the instructions to do this? Is it just a matter of grabbing the modified odin and flashing the firmware?

Correct. You can find the download links here on the forum or use SamFirm to download the firmware and odin to flash.

Thank you. Do you know if the hardware is the same for the verizon and tmobile phones? with it just unlocked and with the tmobile chip the signal wasn't as high. I'm hoping when I flash it with t-mobile firmware it flashes the radios to use the tmobile bands as well.

Yes, you get the correct bands. I compared before and after.
