Switch Firmware,

Hello, xda_developers.
I just got mail S7 Unlocked in the mail that I ordered from eBay, I believe it was a sweet deal CAD $549.99 + tax. I am with Telus BTW. Let's get to the point.
The phone is with Sprint which has bloatware and APN is locked out. I want to flash a new firmware onto the phone without Tripping the Knox. I looked into the 930U Firmware but don't know which one to pick. I looked into the thread: "Bloat free firmware 930U....anyone tried it?" and saw the part about root, so I backed out.
After I looked into the Sprint SM-G930P firmware and saw few different "Regions": SPR, XAS, and VMU. I found"SPR" is Sprint, and "VMU" is Virgin Mobile USA. For "XAS" I am not too sure, but "XAS image has the APN section unlocked". ("Here" )
Afterwards, I found the forum "Found a code...interesting...." and used the code "##BRAND#" and removed the Sprint boot logo, and some bloatware but the APN was still locked out, and still had "Hands-Free Activation".
I need help picking the right Firmware for my phone, which will let me add APN, and remove the "Hands-Free Activation". I do not want or need to root the phone.
The phone is up to the latest update:
Software Version: SG930PVPS2APG1 ,
Hardware version: REV0.6 ,
Baseband version: G930PVPS2APG1 ,
Build number: MMB29M.G930PVPS2APG1 .
I did not want to flash firmware without knowing for sure it will not brick the phone, brand new phone in a long time, I don't want to break it or brick it on the first day.
Aswell, I am not sure if I can flash a Canadian firmware, SM-G930W8 or the Global Firmware, SM-G930F.
Thank you for reading, hope you can help me out.

The 930U firmware will work perfectly fine without root. No bloatware and you can modify the APN's.

the 930U firmware is bloatware free, and I don't have to root the phone? Also does it have the "Hands-Free Activation" or the "Activate this device" in Settings?

It's bloatware free and it doesn't require root. And when I flashed...it simply activated my device and there's no activate device in settings.

alright, thank you very much.
Going to go flash it now
edit: Quick Update, went to flash the G930U files(firmware?) and it all went smoothly. Takes time to register onto network. any fix without root?
edit 2: Just did a factory reset from recovery, seems to have fixed the slow network register
edit 3: The phone seems to run warmer than the sprint firmware, no idea why

Never mind, I am, an idiot.

Congrats on the phone! That is a good deal considering the phone goes for 899 brand new, and I'd assume around 600-750. But with black listing these days I wouldn't trust Kijiji etc.
Your phone should work fine except for LTE. Its missing I believe 2-3 bands for LTE but on the plus side it's the bands that bell/Telus don't really use much like 2600. So if you ever see soneone else have LTE and not you that would be why but, then again the bands you don't have usually are for rural areas

Thank you very much. It's a pretty nice deal, still going on I believe. I don't have to worry about the blacklist. Even without the 2600 band data works great, really don't mind not having a few LTE bands, for the price i got the phone for. With the 930U firmware, it works great.

The U firmware has more/better LTE bands enabled than the Sprint (P) firmware. I strongly doubt it's missing any LTE bands used in Canada.

I believe your correct with the U firmware It shouldn't be missing a band or 2 like it is on the Sprint firmware. But yes about the same price as you'd get it on Kijiji (since there's tax) but it's new and don't have to worry about the blacklist

FWIW - here are the bands that are apparently supported in the 930U firmware. This is band priority list from the LTE section of the ##DATA# menu. Not sure which bands Canada uses, but it looks like the only major one missing might be band 17?

I think the Canadian networks may have started using MFBI on band 12 (like AT&T has). If so then B17 would no longer be necessary in Canada. The best place to verify this might be to post a question about it on the Bell and Rogers forums on Howardforums.

In G930UUEU2APEH thread it is said:
"root with the only g930a method there is right now"
So, this universal firmware can be rooted, right?

Can any one give me the link for downloading the 930U rom for my sprint sm-g930p and are they facing any problem with the same

Did the actual flash fail, or did one or more of the MD5 checks fail? What version of Odin did you use? If any of the MD5 checks failed, you just need to download the firmware again - your download was corrupted. If the actual flash failed, the most common cause is the USB cable/connection. Try another USB cable, and/or another USB port on your computer, and don't move the phone or computer around while it's flashing. Odin is very temperamental if the connection is not perfect.

I'm confused too. Are you wanting to use it on Sprint or T-Mobile? Do you have a sprint account, and did your phone activate on Sprint? I don't have any experience using a non-Sprint sim with this phone/firmware. The only thing I can suggest it maybe do a factory reset and go through the setup/activation with the T-Mobile sim already in the phone. Good luck.
If you're wanting to use both Sprint and T-Mobile on this phone, I'm not sure if that's possible. From what I've read elsewhere, even though this firmware is unlocked, it can only be active on one carrier at a time. I don't think you can switch back and forth at will, without activating/deactivating from one carrier to the other. I could be wrong though, as I have not used anything but my original Sprint sim.

SM-935V

I would like to know if it's possible to flash the firmware for
T-mobile I'm looking to leave verizon I know that the Verizon variant does not have 2 of the lte bands that T-mobile uses can I use Odin to Flash the 935t firmware to get the band's or am I asking something that is not possible. Thanks in advance

The answer is NO you're asking firmware to replace/add hardware and that's not possible

I have a Verizon branded s7 edge and used Odin to load the 935U PI3 firmware. I am on T-Mo now and do have LTE band 12 working (validated with LTE Discovery). The research that I did found that the US variants have all the radios in them, but some carrier variants of firmware disable certain bands. By doing the 935U firmware, I also got rid of the notice on every reboot that I was using a non-Verizon SIM. So I now have all T-mo bands and no stupid SIM message.

I can vouch for same experience as SF-IT guy. I bought a G935V and flashed with G935U firmware via odin. Works on T-mobile, even wifi calling works. Currently on the latest PI3 version of G935U firmware. I would that you search the forum to see if you can flash the G935T firmware directly. The only downside of using G935U firmware is that the FM radio chip is not enabled in the firmware. I read that the all the carrier versions (September security patch and newer) of the G935 firmware have the FM radio chip enabled. I prefer the 935U version because it there is not carrier bloatware. Samsung bloatware is still there.

So what would the FM radio chip do? Just enable FM radios is all? Because if that's the downside then it's not a major setback as not too many people use the FM radio.

I don't think you can

You definitely can. All US versions of the S7 & S7 Edge are the same hardware and can be flashed to any other US firmware. (including the U firmware that automatically works on all 4 carriers)

So what you're saying is that flashing the U version firmware will unlock by default all 930"X" and 935"X" phones? As in it just unlocks the mofo and debloats some while you're at it?
What's the catch? It seems too easy

Bloat is definitely gone on the U firmware, which is great. My phone runs faster and has more free space too.
I think some carrier features aren't supported on the U firmware. On T-mobile everything works (VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling), but I think AT&T might have some issues with those.
If the phone is SIM locked to a particular carrier, I'm not sure that automatically gets turned off or not when you switch to the U firmware. You might need to contact your carrier first to get an unlock code?

What if I got a temporary unlock from t-mobile unlock app and then flashed this firmware? Would it make it permanent? Seems quite possible, but I don't know if the temporary unlock actually unlocks the phone or just inserts a bypass that would disappear if flashed.

I unlocked my US TMo phone when stock, rooted, and am running Echoe - which has a glitch where WiFi calling sort of works (can receive calls but not make them). In the TMo forum, there are threads on U - your comments here are more specific to what I am interested.
Which U firmware are you on and are you rooted (is is updated to latest v4 bootloader version), and did you have to ODIN and full wipe with CSC or did you get by with CSC Home to preserve data?
Also, are you on U CP or did you flash TMo CP to get all the bands?.

Flashing stock firmware on carrier locked phone

Hey everyone! I'm somewhat new to XDA (as in this is my first time creating/posting a thread) but I've decided this is the best place to get some help.
So, I have a carrier locked G935W8 Fido phone, and I was wondering if it was possible to install the stock G935W8 firmware from sammobile. I have read around that flashing the stock firmware works after the phone is unlocked, but what if it is still carrier locked? Can I still flash the stock G935W8? Or will I brick my device? My phone is not rooted btw.
Thanks to anyone that can help me out!

Welcome to XDA
yes, you can flash stock firmware as long as it is for the locked carrier.
Other firmware will work but the imei maybe effected.

Well, that's the thing. I want to flash the unlocked Canadian firmware, as in the one with no carrier bloatware. Will that be possible and have the phone working 100%?

I'm afraid I don't have an answer to your question, but I just did the carrier unlock on my new G935W8 a few days ago using basically the first website to come up in a google search. $25 USD; waited about 18 hours to get the code. You don't have to rely on your carrier (with their insane fees and/or waiting periods) to unlock your phone; might as well just do it. Having an unlocked phone is very handy if you travel at all.

yes, it will work for most things 100 %. volte may not work as it requires a carrier branded firmware.
you will probably have to enter the number for your voice mail manually and settings for internet as that is in the carrier branding.

Thank you everyone for your help! Just a question, what do you mean by settings for internet? As in data/LTE?

If your unlocking your Sprint phone for another carrier.

Do not use the stock Sprint software Numbers will not come formatted correctly when you receive phone calls.
For instance when you get a call it should show like this.
+1-808-123-1234
But on the Sprint software with a non Sprint Sim Card it will show like this.
+808-123-1234
So anyone who's saved in your contacts it won't show there phone number. And you also can't easily call them back from your call log.
And this also prevents blocked numbers feature from working correctly.
If you flash the unlocked firmware or you flash the carrier firmware of your choice this issues will go away.

Hmm, maybe this is why Google Voice can't send mms for me? I'm DSU'ed on G935P and using a Mint SIM (T-Mobile). When I try to send a mms from Google Voice, it says mms can't be sent to international numbers.

Nah it wouldn't reverse the unlock status, I'm 200% sure it wouldn't change anything. I personally unlock and flash the latest G955U1 and G950U1 firmware AQH3 on 6 S8+ and 1 S8. It's works great on All US carriers, you can also flash each 4 individual Carrier firmware. I have flash all of the firmware each carrier release on my SPRINT S8's with zero problems. Enjoy

Were did you get their stock firmwares? Looking for,sprints and you used a modified Odin to flash?

Did you ever get your phone unlocked ?

I have a Sprint Galaxy S8+. It has been unlocked by Sprint. I am giving it to my daughter and want to change the firmware to MetroPCS firmware for her. I have the latest T-Mobile and MetroPCS variant firmwares. Do I need a special ODIN to perform this? I'm a little confused because I keep seeing discussions about modded ODIN versions for the Galaxy S8 and S8+

Obtaining ATT Specific Functions On An Unlocked Phone

Hey Everybody,
So I've come to realize that my unlocked US S10+ on AT&T didn't have VOLTE or Wifi calling as options in the communication/call settings menus. this is pretty disappointing as it seems that using the unlocked phone with Verizon you get these features, and they make a decent impact on my use of the phone.
My understanding is if I flash the ATT firmware to the phone I would get the functions, so being an amateur I followed some simple guides to SamFirm AND ODIN, and downloaded the ATT CSC firmware for my model number. However after going through the Odin process and resetting my phone it is still showing the same Software information as prior to my installation, and I do not have the features.
I saw a thread on the board stating that the ATT firmware isn't available yet, so I'm not sure if what I downloaded was actually any different than what is on my phone,and my phones "Service Provider Software Version" did already have ATT in the description, which is a bit confusing to me.
Am I correct in understanding the only way to get the features would be through a firmware flash? And would anyone know if I had flashed the right firmware, and what the original firmware CSC would be for my model if I needed to revert?
My information is:
Model Number:
SM-G975U1 (S10+ ceramic white 512GB - Unlocked US)

If it's anything like the S9 was, you can't just ODIN the firmware/CSC. You'll just get the bloat with none of the features you want.

I've heard this as well. If you want those features on a Samsung phone, it has to be at&t branded. I ordered an at&t phone from Samsung since I make good use of wifi calling. It works fine on my unlocked P3XL but no dice on the Samsungs.

I have the same phone and service and when I went to update my imei they told me it could not find the phone. So I was without lte/4g for a day until I gave them a imei to a s8 active. Now I have data at least

so anyway to update the service provider version? does that come from the SIM ??

I have an unlocked S10 plus and I flashed the AT&T Firmware. I now have VoLTE and WiFi calling unlocked on my phone using AT&T. You need to make sure you flash the U version of the firmware, not the U1 one. Unlocked S10 is using the U1 firmware already so flashing that one again changes nothing.

I kinda doubt it but did any of you with unlocked phones that flashed the AT&T firmware get any better service? I've been considering it to get VOLTE but just wondered

I followed this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s10/how-to/att-ota-ota-updates-t3909697
At first like you I downloaded the wrong version and nothing changed. I finally flashed G975USQU1ASBA and now have VOLTE/WIFI Calling and of course all of the bloat. But at least those two functions are working. Make sure that you complete a clean flash when I did a dirty flash I had problems sticking on the loading screen.

I believe you just need to call in ATT to take care those carrier specific features .

Which firmware can I flash with Odin to my S10+ Xfinity Mobile unlocked to get AT&T OTA updates? Currently have ASF7 flashed from the latest unknown firmware uploaded to Sammobile. I flashed w/o USERDATA. I just want to be able to get future OTA updates as I just switched my carrier from Metro by T-Mobile to AT&T. I was using U1 US unlocked firmwares on my Note9 & S10+ but want to use carrier perks now with AT&T.

What's with AT&T being the only ones to not release update files? You would think they all would be required to release them. More AT&T customers need kick up a fuss about it.
