Firmware Question

I have an AT&T S7 running the unlocked 'G930UUEU4API3' firmware. I was wondering if there would be any complications with flashing the AT&T 'G930AUCS4APK1' firmware over this.
Thanks.

I haven't done a ton of research about the bootloader for these phones, but i think you can flash that without issues.. If i'm wrong make sure you have an ODIN flashable backup of G930UUEU4API3 tho!! (my A is on a U firmware so i'd see this working fine..)

you are good

Gs7 edge Rooted Incorrectly!!

I rooted my 6.0.1 s7 edge using a newer version of the root odin software than was applicable on my device. Running on Exynos and i would like to unroot it as root checker says, 'Sorry! Root access not properly installed on this device.' Please help!!
SM-G935F
Still on 6.0.1

I believe you just flash stock though oden and youll be set. Alil rusty since i have the snapdragon. But had the exynos note4 few y3ars back and recall it being the same to go back to stock.

Sitting here looking at my phone with the exact same issue...
Which file did you try to flash it with? I used one from a guide but I'm not allowed to link to anything because I'm a new user
Not sure if that's the wrong one or what's up...

Hello, if you root device knox will be tripped and some apps that are knox related will never work, like s health, samsung pay and secret folder

I've followed the guide in this forum downloaded the file from chainfire site for my exact model but it didn't work only ended up in samsung logo. I am even unable to shutoff my device, be aware that CF Auto root method is not working on latest patches. If u r stuck in samsung logo flash stock firmware via odin then u r good to go....

any way to root G935P on QH1 firmware?

i have been searching for weeks now for a way to root my G935P on QH1 firmware and cant seem to find anything that works. Am i missing something or is there currently no way to root on this firmware? I have tried almost every root method for the G935P and every one of them bootloops my phone, and i think its because they are for older firmwares and its not letting me flash older firmware.
One method that looked promising was to flash U firmware, but i tried this too and it didnt work, dont know if im doing something wrong or if U firmware is not able to be installed after ive updated to this latest QH1 firmware.
RIght now im kind of kicking myself for installing this latest system update, but one of the root methods i tried that was one of the steps was to go to system update and let it update to the latest firmware and now it seems as if im stuck here with no way to root

I'm in the same boat, I recently just upgraded from the Note 3 (brother gave me his S7E). I'm not new to rooting, but its definitely not as easy as it used to be.

Not worth rooting this phone. The method is extremely unstable. Any reason why you need to root? There could be a non root workaround

Same here. The bootloops is crazy! I have rooted the tmobile and verizon versions before with no issues. I was begining to think the Qualcomm boot file was bad. But it appears it's with the sprint s7 edge.

Not unstable at all.. I have mine rooted for a long time. It's fast and works just fine... If you follow the steps in order, then you should have no problems at all... This is the simplest method of all.

Downgrade from Oreo to Nougat? [SM-G950F]

So yesterday I updated from Nougat (not rooted) to Oreo. After I updated I had some issues with my SIM. Basically most of the time I get "Out of service/Not registered in the Network". The SIM is working fine in other Phones. Already tried a reformat (with Stock Recovery) did not help.
So can I just use Odin v3.12 and the S8 Nougat files and flash them?
Will it brick If I do it?
The Oreo Firmware (and my phone) has no carrier. (DBT, Germany)
Same goes for the Nougat Firmware.
Thanks
Phone Info:
- SM-G950F
- Exynos variant
- DBT (unbranded)

Hi, in this case the Knox is altered? I was reading something about the new Oreo bootloader that would not allow the downgrade. Thank you and sorry for my English!

Can I downgrade to nougat from oreo on samsung note 8 SM-N950U1 ?

Are the firmwares for G955F and G955FD the same?
My friend has the FD version with G955FXXU1CRB7 - CSC ILO (ISRAEL), but I can't find G955FXXU1AQK7 for the FD version for CSC ILO.
Can I use the firmware for the F variant with Odin?
He is having terrible battery issues with Oreo, wiped data using stock recovery but it won't help.

Downgrade from CRAP (8.0) to AQL5 (7.0) and now I have a DRK error and it automatically starts the recovery, some help?

You can't downgrade via odin. You can only flash the same firmware or higher.
