[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] robertkoa:
I am very interested in using the Exynos S7 on Metro PCS/ Tmobile due to about 20% better battery life.

What I will get is 1 hour or more of SOT compared to Snapdragon.

What I will lose ( probably ) is*

VoLTE - this means you have fast [LTE ] Internet while on a call- great for business customers.

Those using Exynos Phones in USA..

1) Do you have simultaneous Voice and Data ?

2) What Band is your Phone on while on the Internet during a Call? H+ is quite fast IF the phone stays there.

IF the phone drops to 3G during calls the Internet will be slow.

A) Why do I need Voice and Internet simultaneously ?

Business Calls -when you need to reference something Online during a call.

B) It was amazing to me a few years back how few people knew what VoLTE is - (voice and data on LTE= simple) Metro PCS was one of the very first to have it back in 2012 which is one of the reasons Tmobile bought Metro.

C) VoLTE USUALLY requires specific Carrier Software (and a VoLTE capable Device)- so not transferable from one Carrier to another - Android was going to include it as Standard Option in Android BUT this never happened.

So Exynos Users S7 or S7 Edge in USA how is simultaneous Voice and Data working for you?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mathieulh:
About VOLTE, while it is not enabled by default on unbranded handsets (phones using CSC such as: XEF, BTU, DBT,XOA...), you can flash a carrier ROM CSC (one from a carrier that handles VOLTE, like BOG) and the feature will be enabled after a factory reset of the phone, the feature once unlocked can be used on any carrier and does not require any specific carrier software to work

1) Yes it does, that's part of the WCDMA standard, however if you are connected to a LTE network that does not handle VOLTE or if the VOLTE feature is not enabled on the phone, it will use CS callback and drop from LTE to HSPA for the duration of the call

2) During CS fallback, the phone uses "H+" (which is really Dual Carrier HSPA)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] rootuser11:
Where can you get flashable csc? Am I chasing Unicorn here?

Btw OP i am currently using 64GB version of Samsung Galaxy S7 from Korea - g930s.

It stays at H+ during the call.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] Steve Giordano:
Hi guys, I finally managed to find a functional and safe method to return to stable version Lollipop B521 by Beta B805 Marshmellow for our honor 6 European L04

First download the Downgrade package from HERE

Download Lollipop B521 from the site hihonor.

PART 1 Extract the downgrade package and put the Update.app in sdcard/dload .

PART 2 we go to the dialer and type *#*#2846579#*#* automatically you'll end up in a secret menu, select 4. Update Software-> Update sdcard.

Your phone will reboot, and will begin to install the downgrade, wait until it sprouts, "upgrade failed" Quiet is normal ...

PART 3 Once restarted the phone we copy in sdcard/dload The Update.app of the Lollipop B521 and repeat the Part 2.

At the end of the update get version Lollipop!

Recommend a factory reset after starting lollipop.:good:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] er0k02:
Hello All:

I have been using and tinkering with phones for years now, note 2,3,4 and 5. I say this so you understand I'm not new to fixing usual issues with rooting and flashing custom roms, etc. There may be a solution to this, but I haven't been able to find it after weeks of searching and trying different things.

After flashing Tek's Rom with COJ -> COK my phone gets the "This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software and has been locked..." error no matter what I do. I have completely wiped, formatted, Odin'd stock firmware and flashed and flashed every bit of software I can find, including using at least ten fresh md5 verified new downloads of the firmware, etc. I have tried arter97's kernels including last several versions, and several other kernels I can't remember.

Anyway, when I complete wipe and format, and then Odin flash the stock firmware (COK), my phone never leaves the Samsung Note 5 boot screen. If I flash a kernel, I can get to the setup mode, but I get the error message that my device has been locked and cannot make calls or register my phone on the tmobile network. My sim card works just fine with other phones. I am using it as we speak on a Lumia 950, but I cannot stand not having the spen.

I have tried flashing kernels through philz, twrp, and the stock recovery. I have tried OTG and flashing kernels from the internal SD card once I flash a kernel and get past the setup. Since I use two step verification, and cannot receive texts, it's a real pain to get into my google account.

When I try to login to my Samsung account, it says, "processing failed," each time. Tmobile has been less than helpful. I am at wit's end. Anyone have any thoughts? I'd really appreciate the help.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] steve97ta:
Make sure you have everything backed up. Odin to stock be sure OEM unlocking is on. Do a full wipe in stock recovery. then try to root again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] er0k02:
Forgive me, and thank you for your reply, but I am not sure if I could have been any more clear that I have full wiped, odin'd back to the stock firmware, etc. no less than a hundred times. Not only that, but I have tried COJ, COK, all three recoveries, different kernels, etc. I can assure you OEM unlocking is on, and has been on each and every time.

In ODIN Mode (Download Mode), my phone reads:

Download Speed: Fast

Product Name: SM-N920T

Current Binary: Samsung Official

System Status: Custom

FRP LOCK: OFF

Secure Download: Enabled

KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1 (0x0301)

RP SWREV: B:2 K:0 S: 0

It does not change much when I flash a kernel or a custom rom, other than current binary to "Custom"

Anyway, I want to be clear:

I have turned on OEM unlocking, no fingerprint lock or any lock mechanism, full wiped through philz recovery, twrp, etc. and ODIN flashed the STOCK firmware from this forum, from Tek's thread, from Sammobile (I even paid the $10.00 to make sure), and I absolutely cannot get my Sim card to register on the network.

I tried again this morning. First, I full wiped and ODIN'd COJ. Then, I full wiped and ODIN'd COJ w/NAND Erase All. I should note that each time I boot to recovery, I get the same old message, "DM-Verity Verification Failed... Need to check DRK first..."

I also get this error when I wipe, "preload checkin... E: failed to mount /preload (no such file or directory)"

I then full wiped and ODIN'd COK. I rinsed and repeated. I still get the exact same errors I mentioned above. The phone sits still at the Samsung boot screen (it does not get to the colored logo screen or the T-Mobile screen, just the black and white) for as long as I will allow it (sometimes hours).

Update:

I have now individually full wiped and flashed the BL, AP, CP, CSC, and PIT files multiple times with no changes. I have read somewhere that I may need to unpack the firmware file itself and remove the cache.img file?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] steve97ta:
If you are using odin you should only need to put the tar in the AP slot. Are you using the factory note 5 cable? Also what version of odin?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] er0k02:
Yes. I am trying additional methods because, as I have said, I have already tried to do the basic methods of wipe data / internal storage / system / cache /dalvik cache (10x), ODIN stock firmware, rinse repeat.

Yes, I am using the factory cable.

Odin version 3.10.7

I am however having additional issues caused by my efforts. My E:/data partition seems to be missing.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] JonathanRAZ:
That happened to me if you have a backup of your efs partition you can restore and it should fix verify your imei that is the same as the one it has on the box on a sticker [MENTION=4613660]Jammol[/MENTION] can help in here he is the one that helped me he is good at this kind of stuff and remember to always do a backup i learned from this thing too

This only means your imei is messed up same things that you mention happened to me even that samsung account failed stuff and all it was the imei lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] er0k02:
Ok, thanks. What happens if I do not have an EFS backup? I may have a NANDROID from TWRP somewhere, but I doubt it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] wdkingery:
I know you did a million things.

For me, after I flash stock unrooted thru Odin, I will get bootloop until I wipe in Stock recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] er0k02:
I appreciate that, but yes I had also tried that. At this point I think the poster above is correct in that I need to restore the EFS partition. I have read tricks of switching the mount point, and also about using some "magic" tools online. Does anyone know how I can fix the missing partition? Tmobile isn't helpful, and I can't get on the phone with anyone from Samsung.

Also, update: I was able to successfully flash the android 6.0 rom on cokc firmware last night, but it is still giving me the same problems not recognizing my sim and not working as far as registering on the network. I also cannot login to my Samsung account.

I really appreciate the help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jammol:
Just as cautionary reminder, always make sure that OEM Unlock is turned on before flashing anything whatsoever. Even if you're on a custom rom already. I flash almost daily and I check every single time before I flash something. YOU NEVER KNOW!

You said earlier up that you have a TWRP right? If you still do check it to see if it has a backup of the EFS partition. If you do have the EFS partition backed up, try and remember what firmware you were on. You'll need to be on that firmware when you restore it. In other words, if you were on COKC when you made it, you'll have to be on that when you restore it. Also try restoring it on TekHD rom if you were on COKC when you made the backup. Don't wipe anything, and reboot after the restore. ONLY RESTORE THE EFS, NOTHING ELSE!!! Upon reboot, if you have a fully working phone again, do a factory reset from inside the rom. Once it reboots, if it works still, download his Stock Rooted Rom in post 5. Do a full wipe and flash that, your EFS should not wipe. Once rom is done flashing, reboot and see if you still have a fully working device. If you do, go ahead and try an Odin flash to full stock. Do a full wipe before using Odin.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] er0k02:
Thanks, I'll add you to hangouts. I don't have a backup EFS, for sure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] er0k02:
Possible to fix a corrupt EFS partition without a backup?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] ppbatman:
Man, I am in the same boat. I do not have an EFS backup. Any help would be appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] er0k02:

I'll write out the steps and post in a bit. Battery is dying.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] latronio:
Do you have the steps to recover the EFS? I've been stuck for few days now and feel it is a crime to exhaust every option as you already figured it out. Thanks for the share either way!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] loogielv:
just throwing in my two cents...I have this same bizarre boot loop, Odin not sticking crap. the fact it still says your system is custom tells me it's in the same ball park.

do everything you usually do, then reset twrp settings to default, reboot to recovery, wipe all cache blah blah, then reformat to ext4, repair, resize every partition. to get davlik, select it and system together, then file system to ext4, to get the internal storage, select it with data. then reboot recovery...MOUNT SYSTEM...do it all again...

reboot, let it get stuck at logo...reboot to recovery clear caches, MOUNT SYSTEM, DO IT AGAIN.. just the caches...

you're welcome

you're
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] SammyTRK:
It would be interesting to know how you solved this. I just made sure I have an efs backup. :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] er0k02:
I completely forgot about this thread. I apologize to everyone for the delay.

To recap:

My phone was cellular bricked. It turns out I had a corrupted EFS partition. The way I managed to "fix" the problem was tedious and may not work for everyone.

1. I ODIN flashed the stock firmware multiple times;

2. I erased the data in my Samsung account. I had to do this online through their website. I think this was crucial.

3. During each initial ODIN flash, I selected Phone EFS clear, Phone Bootloader Update, Nand Erase All, Repartition, etc. in ODIN.

4. I then re-flashed stock COJ without selecting EFS clear, Phone Bootloader Update, Nand Erase All, Repartition, etc. I just let it select the normal options.

5. I then ODIN flashed TWRP, and flashed Jovy's ROM after flashing the Stock Modified Kernel.

6. I used the tool inside Jovy's Aroma installer [Fix Corrupt EFS Partition, or whatever it is called];

7. I didn't install any of the Samsung apps.

8. I then installed the ROM.

9. As soon as the ROM booted, I connected to WiFi as quickly as possible and ran through the steps as fast as I could before I gave T-Mobile the chance to display the message that my phone had been rooted and would no longer be able to connect to the cellular network. I logged into my google account and rebooted quickly before anything else happened. This took less than 30 seconds.

10. I went back into TWRP, full wiped and formatted.

11. Back to ODIN flashing Stock COJ.

12. ODIN flash TWRP.

13. Flash Jovy's ROM + Stock Modified Kernel.

14. Restore EFS partition.

15. Install ROM.

16. Finished.

It has been working since the day I posted above.

Try this tool

You might want to verify if Smart Switch tool by Samsung works on your device. I had a problem flashing my note 5 with the oem lock and this program saved the day. Is free and you can google it, I hope it helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] er0k02:
Sorry, thanks, but no, if you choose to read this thread, you will understand that Samsung (in this situation), including Smart Switch, Kies, and other utilities, not only fail to rescue the firmware, but get in the way of ODIN, require resetting your Samsung account additional times, take up hours of bandwidth, ram, proc power, and gigs of hdd space. At best, Smart Switch is horrible, worthless, and stupid waste of time for those with an actual corrupted EFS partition, no backup, tripped Knox, and the other deets mentioned herein.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] loogielv:
I cannot believe this is still unsolved. If you ask me, it's very obviously a memory issue. Try wiping, using a new pit file for repartition, and installing some sort of Linux port that will let you specify a swap file, or even disable sections of ram.

I'm giving laymen terms, not just in case you have no clue what any of this means, but so any future noobs who are having this same problem...oh who am I kidding? Nobody will ever have this problem again. I'm not even sure you're having this problem...

Maybe something is encrypted? Maybe...throw it in the garbage. It's faulty ram
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] er0k02:
If you had read the thread, you'd see I said I had resolved the problem, but not with a clear, repeatable solution.

Also, if you were implying that I am ignorant of some body of *nix knowledge or whatever that should have quickly resolved my problems, and simultaneously amazed there isn't a clear solution, do you have serious suggestions, or are you merely masquerading as some sort of android hero under pretentiousness and jargon?

I would never go with a chinese power case. Maybe if it was just a case. But batteries or electronic components, not so much. My advice is to make a bigger investment with something that holds quality since you are using it with a very expensive smartphone. I've come across several smart cases. So you can check Nexpaq, I-blades or this Otterbox if you are interested in something innovative. You can get extra battery life, expand memory, put laser light, enviro sensor etc. Take a look, at least it is not something ordinary.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronRoo:
Did you reflash Gapps when you upgraded? Was it the CM13 version?

You need to reflash Gapps FOR CM13 (ie you need a new version not the one for CM12) and it must be flashed directly after clashing CM13, I believe. (I've not upgraded to CM13 myself as yet). YOu should do a full wipe of data & cache too.

Got my S7 delivered yesterday and I am trying to send my first WhatsApp video to someone (only 22 seconds) but it's taking ages! I already switched from 4G to 3G because where I'm living (close to the sea) the 4G network is bad, but this doesn't matter for the upload speed... and even over my WiFi it's just as slow.
