Hey wanna say thx to everyone who chimed in on this. I will revisit it after I'm back from vacation. TBH that was a driver for me to fix my crappy coverage on my phone. I mean i was at the store just today, tried to make a call home. I had almost full signal strength on LTE, as soon as I tried to call I saw the signal strength indicator change to 3g and I could not place a call. I'm really hoping that doesn't happen where I'm going as I need my phone for work purposes and in general.

As far as hardware goes, what I read (sorry don't have link handy) was that all Samsung S7's got the same snap dragon cpu regardless of carrier and that an X12 modem was integrated into that CPU, not separate hardware. samsung also later offered an unlocked version of the S7. I have to imagine that the changes in band preferences/etc are all software driven as it's costly to have different hardware lines. Though companies do dumb things all the time.

Thing is my wifi calling no workie either and pretty sure it's because I'm sprint based software, the default messaging app (messages) won't send MMS messages had to install textra to do that. I dunno if my placing a call issues are because t-mobile supported voice over LTE for a while now and Sprint was a slow adopter. I am starting to wonder (since I replaced the texting app) if I simply replaced the phone app if that would yield better results.... hmm...

This wasn't there a few days ago: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s7/firmware/SM-G930T/TMB/download/G930TUVU4CRF1/226019/

That looks promising. The T-mobile firmware I grabbed was from a few months earlier.

My current software is: G930PVPSACSF1 (basebandversion) kernel 3.18.71-13955230 build#: R16NW.(base) Android Version 8.0.0

anyhoo i will revist all this when i get back from vacation...

cheers...

Now that you took your own way and flashed the latest bootloader version (10) I think that you're stuck on a Sprint firmware till a new one (if it'll do) will be released from T-Mobile; https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s7/firmware/SM-G930T/ or from an unbranded firmware; https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s7/firmware/SM-G930U/ so actually latest of both is v9.

Battery holds quite poor, streaming music on data also drains a lot. I want to show my contact that i am still paying attention to our conversation, even if i close the screen during messages, in order to preserve a bit of battery. GB Whatsapp had a option for always online, but the mod altogether doesnt work anymore.
[General Questions and Answers] vikingDBA:
I think u are right. but my boot loader version from sprint was boot loader version 10. that was the error that I got when I tried to flash the unbranded and t-mobile.

After I tried that flash i was stuck in an endless boot loop so at that point I flashed the boot loader with the sprint firmware (back to what it was).

Where do you see the boot loader version in the firmware download?

thx again!

Hello:)

I have twrp 3.3.1-0 that I boot from fastboot (I won't install it permanently cuz I wanna take ota updates on my Nokia 6.1) I Was hoping i could get info about what needs to be backed up in twrp from my stock rom. Would default settings be sufficient for this model? Would backing up 'system image' alone work? It's just when i try to restore backup the process fails and I gotta reflash my Nokia with online service tool.

Thanks!!?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If your very first firmware that you had in your device was this and you got it then we had to start at this point. No much to do so there's not a similar bootloader version available for T-Mobile nor an unbranded one.

The letter that indicates the bootloader version is in hexadecimal (0xA)=(10)

Now what you can try is flashing a CP file only and the CSC_OYN file (not the other CSC) from any of both firmwares on v9.

CP file is to change modem and CSC_OYN file is to erase all your data including some scripts/ and default settings from the previous carrier, these scripts will remain there but they won't find a counterpart to can act.

If Odin gives a fail then combine all the files, it means replace these two files within the others from your actual firmware.

I never understood IMHO about the need to backup some partitions using TWRP why? If for example you messed up your device on an OTA update most probably your bootloader/fastboot mode won't be available to can flash TWRP again and to can proceed to restore and finally you will need to save your device using OST. System image is always available on the firmware and can be flashed with the tool or if bootloader is unlocked and through fastboot (if is active) so no need (for me) to backup it.

But although the said personally I would backup only userdata in the case that I need to do some factory reset and always I do a backup of IMEI (NVRAM), modem and depending on the model also preloader, cust and nothing more.

Anyway I wait that you have better/ different opinions on here.
[General Questions and Answers] fil3s:
If I'm flashing an GSI , for example, it would be alot easier to restore a backup than to flash stock again, restore everything from scratch. So user data, and?? That didn't answer one of my questions. It's ok. I'll work it out on my own

Edit: I get it I can restore with OST then restore data. Now I understand, thankyou
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If I flash a GSI depending on the level of damaged (at software level) I would flash boot, recovery, vendor and system through fastboot, only the image/s needed, it may that you need only one of them and in TWRP restore my data (again; only if it did miss), probably no need to use OST.

The previous scenario is different than a wrong/fail update like happen on some devices, sometimes they´re hard to recover and the only way is using the official tool to solve it.

Flashing some partitions through fastboot is always most reliable than restoring through TWRP.

I have a weird thing going on. I've looked over Google and what little there is, I've checked to no avail. I have a script. It's to initiate a means to configure the wireless interfaces in Android. Sounds simple right? Not at all. I don't know if the script works because I can't get it to. Every time I run it, I receive this error:

Not running as root!

Permissions are set to 755, #!/system/bin/sh, placed in system/bin, reboot, error persists. System is not mounted noexec. Other scripts run fine. I even added an init call In the boot.img init.rc file, to initiate at boot just after the animation.

service /system/bin/nameofscript
user root

I would post logs if I had any but it doesn't even create those. So I'm at a loss. Amazon Fire HD 10 here. I made a small comment in our forms already and have received no response so I figured I'd try here and see if anyone else has experienced the same kind of issue on other devices. And yes I am rooted with SuperSU the last edition. Root checker says BusyBox is properly installed and su is properly installed into sbin, xbin and bin.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Which are you using? ADB, ADB shell or a terminal emulator?
[General Questions and Answers] DragonFire1024:
Terminal, run as root of course. Script is owner: root, group: shell
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I know you said that you re running as root, but just to confirm...

Do you mean terminal from PC or terminal emulator on the device?

If terminal from PC then I'm assuming that you ran the "sudo" command first?

If terminal emulator on the device, I'm assuming the you ran the "su" command and granted the app superuser permissions?

I'm just starting with the basics for confirmation and then working my up through the layers until we find the source of the issue.

You say that other scripts run fine but this particular script isnt working? Do the other scripts require specific su permissions?
[General Questions and Answers] DragonFire1024:
Terminal on device. So emulator. Yes I do su first so I'd is root@suez 0,0. Then run the script, I even CD to system/bin: sh script.sh. says not running as root. I've no problems with su otherwise.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Man, that IS strange. I can see why you're banging your head.

Are you using a terminal emulator while booted into system?

Or are you using terminal emulator that is built into TWRP?

If you can use TWRP, try running the script via ADB shell via PC, it's the same thing as terminal emulator on the device with the addition of "adb shell" added to the commands.
[General Questions and Answers] DragonFire1024:
Yes booted into system. I've not tried in twrp yet. I could probably flash adb to this phone, use OTG and try adb that way, otherwise that part will have until I get home from work.

Anyone knows any mod that force send audio to bluetooth sound devices when playing radio and have same time earphones connected (As antenna) ?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If all you need is for something to be plugged in as the antenna while using a speaker, if your speaker has a 3.5mm audio input, you can connect the speaker to your phone via auxiliary audio cord, it will serve as the antenna while the speaker plays, also, the phone and the speaker will both use less battery because bluetooth won't be used while connected in this manner.
[General Questions and Answers] kos25k:
Nice idea thanks.But I mainly want this function,because I bought a good cheap pair of bluetooth earbuds to listen to music/radio while biking.So I think 1way is to try to find a mod,or some things called 3.5mm android buttons.
[General Questions and Answers] Totokoutonio:
Hello !

I'm plan to install TWRP on my A3 2017 (SM-A320FL). But I'm a little bit stress and I want to be sure before doing something...

I have two question:

1. It is safe to use Heimdall v1.4.1 (I'm on linux, Debian 10)?

I have see on the lineage OS website it was use for samsung devices in the step "preparing for installation". But the last update is from 2014 and for Odin It's look important to have the right version. My mobile phone was release 3 year after the last Heimdall update!

2. During the TWRP installation with Heimdall only the recovery part is modify, so after that my phone will be look the same has before?

I have already make a manual backup of my important files (contact, photo, ect...), but I want make a Nandroid backup with TWRP.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Heimdall should do the job, it can be tricky getting it setup correctly, though.

There is also the option to run Windows in Linux using Wine, but that option comes with it's own headaches and limitations.
[General Questions and Answers] Totokoutonio:
Heimdall is in the depot of debian 10. I have already install it and it look ok: I see my phone when it is in download mode and I can reboot it.

And I have found this command line to install TWRP with Heimdall

heimdall flash --RECOVERY twrp-x.x.x-x-a3y17lte.img --no-reboot

I have read that use Wine for run Odin wasn't a good idea because the USB link can suck.
[General Questions and Answers] mrrocketdog:
not sure where to post this , but with all the good helpers i see on here , thought i'd give it a go :

my daughter's phone (also a zte axon7) is rooted with magisk. she DL'd hangouts from the playstore , each time she clicks the icon to open it , it immediately shuts down. anyone have an idea/suggestion on what to try to remedy this? (have already emailed developer 2 days ago and no response so far) thank you for any help. :)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The only thing that has ever caused me an issue with installing/using Hangouts is Google Play Services, make sure Google Play services has been updated to the latest version.

[MENTION=5511100]mrrocketdog[/MENTION], it also might be a permissions issue, permission to access phone, messaging, storage, contacts, location, etc..
[General Questions and Answers] DragonFire1024:
I have a similar issue with Hangouts or did with my Amazon HD 8.9 (it's an older tablet). I don't think it's a permission issue. But I'm not exactly sure what it is because I had the same problem. Although my issue would start happening the second I go to type out a message. I still haven't figured out what was causing it. I still have the tablet but I don't use Hangouts anymore. at least not since Google announced it was going to shut down. My Google voice works just as good the only downside is not being able to theme it.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Are you using a 3rd party keyboard, 3rd party launcher or 3rd party theme? Sometimes, keyboard and launcher themes cause issues such as what you are experiencing.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Flashing recovery will not change anything about your device, it will still look and function the same. All you will be doing is replacing stock recovery with TWRP.
[General Questions and Answers] tecwhiz:
In any case I prefer to only 'boot' the recovery instead of flashing. You can use it, but original recovery doesn't get replaced. Only problem is, you will allways need a PC to work with custom recovery.
[General Questions and Answers] Totokoutonio:
Interesting... but how you only boot on a custum recovery (like TWRP) without flashing ??? I have found some stuff like this but it's working in samsung devices? Without rooting phone?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Booting recovery instead of flashing it typically involves using fastboot to boot the temporary recovery session, but, fastboot does not work on Samsung devices. The only way you will be able to boot a temp recovery on your device is if someone specifically made a tool or script for your specific device/CPU architecture to boot the recovery.

Basically, booting recovery instead of flashing it is not an option for you. If you want TWRP you will have to actually flash it instead.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
I do the same thing now since having a device with a/b slots. For me, I think it always a good idea to be near a PC when flashing something anyway, since you might need it if something goes wrong. But as stated above by [MENTION=5691352]Droidriven[/MENTION], there is no bootloader to use fastboot commands with Samsung devices.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Something like this is typically used on devices that have locked bootloader or some other reason that recover can't be flashed or is more trouble than it is worth.

If there is no reason why custom recovery can not be flashed on a device, there is really no reason not flash the recovery. If it can be flashed, it is just simpler, easier, better to go ahead and just flash the recovery. I see no reason to not have the abilities it provides on the go or to limit oneself to requiring a PC every single time you want to perform custom recovery actions.
[General Questions and Answers] DragonFire1024:
Amazon Fire 10 here. I made a post in our general forums and didn't get any replies. So I'm hoping this issue has happened on other devices so somebody can give me some insight This is a new one for me. I don't know when it started, but I can't install any apps through file managers or web browsers. I've tried several of each and all return the same error: 'parse error.' I attached ascreen shot. As of the moment my only option is to adb install, sideload in TWRP manually or make every app I install now a system app using a root explorer, unless it's available in the play store. Upon further investigation for some unknown reason, there are a few lines missing from the manifest files every single application that is put onto the device and/or installed. The files also appear to be improperly formatted. This would explain some of the constant errors in the logs when the device boots. But I couldn't figure out what those errors were talking about until I actually saw the manifest on a accident. I've included a screenshot of one of those manifest files and of the error I get when trying to install an APK. I thought I have made a post in this forum about this issue and I could not find my post. So I apologize if this is a duplicate.

So 90% of the time as far as I have observed anything that requires a headphones plugged into a Jack to utilize the antenna it utilizes the ground unfortunately most software won't even attempt to detect the antenna until the switch inside to headphone jack has been actuated from what I've observed I know not crap about programming which is why I'm on XDA I'm trying to learn all this new crap because the last time I did anything with programming was a Commodore 64 I fix the parts now I'm trying to learn how to fix what runs them anyways you could try taking a headphones wire and merely cut the positive signal cables on them maybe the song will detect that the driver Loop is an open-loop and default to the Bluetooth or find a setting to audio to Bluetooth only I actually wish I had somebody with a radio function on their phone around me right now I would give it a shot and see if I can figure out a plug-and-play work around for that

Hello,

I got an Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML , Model Z00AD

The problem with this phone is not detected by the computer, and i can't access the bootloader

I tried with a lot od USB cable that work with other phone. i don't think it's a computer or cable issue

The guy who give me this phone informed me that he installed a custom rom and since this installation the problem started.

I tried many tutorial found in the internet and any one worked.

The debugging mod is activated, developed mod activated

I unlocked the bootlader with the apk provided by asus. I tried to install TWRP recovery via official app, installation succed but at the reboot no recovery and no system now

If someone has an idea, I will take it

Thank you in advance
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
It looks like a problem with the custom rom that is currently running, if this is the case you should need some skill to rebuild the rom and solve the issue more easy you can return to stock or try out other custom rom (if you are familiar with) specially one based on stock ZenUI that definitely will return to your device the ability to communicate with pc https://xdaforums.com/zenfone2

So, I tried the tutorials to unbrick the phone, and nothing worked. still the phone not detected by the computer. i tried also computer with linux, the same

I can't power on the phone when it is connected to the computer

and when i power it without cable i have this screen

the phone reboot every 2 min, and at the 10th reboot it goes to fastboot screen

I think this phone is dead.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
No, if it is charging and booting to fastboot, it can be recovered, it just won't be easy.

Get the device into fastboot mode, then connect the device to your computer then check device manager to see if see a driver that says Android Bootloader Interface. If you see this, the device "should" be able to connect with PC.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If your device is booting you can place some custom/stock based rom on your sdcard and if you have root you can flash TWRP through some app like Flashify or other.

In the case that your actual custom rom is not mounting sdcard then this will solve your issue.

OR enter to stock recovery https://www.asus-zenfone.com/2015/03/zenfone-2-how-to-enter-recovery-wipe.html and update the firmware https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/HelpDesk_Download/
