Its like you didnt read my post. I havent seen anyone mention being on PF2 yet and I was just confirming what I saw when trying this on PF2.

I have since went back to PC5 and will possibly try the method the other guy posted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
From what I read, these will only be sim unlocked. Not bootloader unlocked, unfortunately. =(

Here's to hoping they're wrong though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
Here's the APN settings. When I tried to put it in manually after flashing the engineer boot.img it didn't work. Hopefully you have better luck though. Let us know if it works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
I will definitely check that out laterafter work. Is that the only APN that i need? There are quite a few listed aside from that one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
There are indeed a few listed but it's the only one that's selected by default. Not sure if they all have to be there. Can anyone with any APN experience chime in?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
I think they are there as options depending on the circumstances.

For example the "vowifi" which i suppose is for "voice over wireless fidelity" there is also a global roaming one.

In any case, I'll check it out later. If someone posted the complete last... that would be amazing

Edit: actually, i think those 2 that start with APN2 will work. Do you have the details for both? Thank you!

Im running PF2 and i havent face an issue, other than the ones mentioned, deleted some apps, modified build.prop and have seen a more stable battery life i think cause of all bloatware i removed.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] ryan2202:
Good to know, thanks. Im gonna give it another shot later today.

Question about reverting back to older firmware. I flashed back to PC5 last night but only flashed the BL, AP, and CP. Seems to be working normal. But there is a 4th file in the firmware package ending in CS_FACT.TAR. Do I need to flash this file as well? If so what field do I put it in Odin? The CSC field?

And is there a PF2 TAR anywhere? I dont see one in the firmware thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] makane716:
How long should it take for reboot after flashing the 930 boot.img with Odin? Seem to be stuck at white LTE Plus screen. Should I boot to recovery and factory reset? Been about 10 minutes. SM-G930 on PD3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] cuezaireekaa:
That would be the next step. I had to so I hope you made a backup. Internal
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
When i flashed PC5 yesterday, there were 5 files in the zip (BL, AP, CP, CS, +HOME) i just didn't flash the HOME because i ran out of slots.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] makane716:
Ya. Factory reset. Setting up now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
PE1 is running A LOT smoother than PC5. Recommend a titanium backup and then move on to PE1. Read update #7 on the 2nd post. You won't regret it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
The answer is no if you're on the new bootloader but the method is within this thread. Someone needs to make a new thread for that method. I may do it if this thread is never updated
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] izzibew26:
Please do. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] vegoja:
Yes it does work
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] radink:
That would awesome! I assume we are still using the engineering bootloader which is buggy?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
Yes but like I said before in this thread, my phone is fast, smooth, and better than stock, by using all the fixes, lspeed Beta with govtuner, and nova launcher. The launcher makes a huge difference
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Danilynne:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] radink:
So did I read correctly? Even with root, you can't just delete bloat apps from the file system? You have to use a package disabler?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
You can delete anything with root

So I was able to root and all that but I lost LTE even after following the instructions carefully. After reboot I get a notification saying "Unable to establish a wireless data connection.....LTE : ESM -x. EMM -8". Please is this the cause of the LTE problem and if so how do I fix it? Also when I change from "automatic" to LTE/CDMA or CDMA only, it reboots and the network goes off completely. I can only get 3g. Please someone should help.

Hope there's at least a couple people still monitoring this thread. I am on PK1, and Root Checker says my device is rooted. Busy box, however, is not installed. I don't know if that's a problem.

Upon that reboot, I get an "unauthorized activity" warning, prompting me to reboot to revert any changes. Any help?

Finally found a work around to get my phone back to PE1 firmware. You cannot get your phone calls and texts working if you are not on PE1. You can get back your LTE but that is it. Overall once you get back on PE1 it is a great root method and works very smoothly. This method is definitely not for beginners so don't take the risk.

That happened to me as well a while ago when I was rooting. I had to flash the 935a file and there's another one that's 935x. I had to flash both of them to get it to work. I had the same problem it would do everything except the image and then I flash the 935x file and that one flashed the image. Hope this helps. Here is the link for the 935x. It shows up in there as Samsung G boot tar because it cuts out the middle part when it displays it.

I wanted to say thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread and to all of you who helped each other out. I'm sure you all will do the same for the new thread! I will still be around.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] BobTheTenth:
Hey your post got copied to a website called droidviews root-sprint-galaxy-s7-s7-edge-sm-g930p-g935p but they didn't have all the info listed so I soft-bricked my phone. It's kind of working now. So my device now doesn't make calls or text because my phone was up to date with the latest version (I'm assuming the PJ2 but not sure). Sorry to be a bother but your FAQ says that you'll lose texting and calling when going from PJ2 to PE1, which I have, however LTE still works...

I'm wondering if there's a work-around yet as I don't want to lose root. I have tried all the faq's and I've tried calling Sprint to see if it's an issue on their end- it's not.

If it helps, my sim information seems to not be read properly as my phone number is listed (on my sim info on my phone) as 000-000-3776. That's obviously not my or anyone's number and I think that's where the issue is but I can't seem to find a way to fix it.

My phone is a Sprint S7 Edge SM-G935P. I followed the first guide I listed (the one that plagiarized from here) then actually made my phone work again with this real guide. ( I was stuck in boot-loop) So thanks for that fix, but is there anyway to get calling and texting back without flashing to stock?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] BobTheTenth:
Hello, I solved my problem with the return to stock tutorial although I had to select the re-partition, nand erase all, and phone bootloader update options. When I tried doing it the way the guide said, I bricked my phone; it could only get into download mode, I couldn't get past that. So just wanted to post my fix to that issue. Thanks again for all of the tutorials everyone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
Redo do it all with the steps from here and it shows you how to get all that back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] BobTheTenth:
I did, I had to follow the guide posted on how to return to stock firmware which bricked my phone in Download mode. The rom I downloaded didn't work for some reason, eventually got it flashed back to stock and used your tutorial instead of the copied one. Worked great, thanks!

I haven't done anything yet.

SM-G935P, Baseband - G935PVPS4BQC1

I was on sprint, but I dropped sprint coverage and moved to AT&T. However since then I've had service problems nonstop. At the current moment I can *only* use GSM/UMTS and as a result I can only get 3G coverage (even though I'm paying for better coverage through AT&T.) When I try to use CDMA, CDMA/LTE or Automatic, I don't get any service.

Sprint unlocked the phone domestically and internationally when I switched to AT&T. I contacted AT&T CS about this issue and ran through setting back default APN but it still didn't fix the issue. They suggested I contact Samsung. Samsung said there was nothing that they could do and suggested taking the phone to an AT&T store. Took it to an AT&T store, they said they couldn't do anything but could possibly put an AT&T image/build on the phone if the device were stock. (i.e. not from a network).

Unfortunately I'm at the end of the rope when neither AT&T nor Samsung can help me. I'm hoping that reverting back to stock can somehow allow my service to work correctly, but I figured I'd comment here and see if anyone was in a similar situation to me before I go forward with rooting my device.

This phone is my primary device, so losing service that I'm paying for is absolutely a dealbreaker.

If I flash the original bootloader using ODIN (so without factory reset) would i be able to update to update to Nougat or do I have to factory reset?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] billa:
Samsung G935U UEU4BQD2 v7.0.0

I would suggest flashing it with the latest G935U firmware, because it will turn your Sprint phone into a universal one.

Meaning, the phone will auto-sense the type of sim inserted and will auto-configure the network automatically.

Basically that's what they suggested you at the ATT store, but this one is even better since it doesn't come all the usual carrier bloat ware.

If done correctly you should have a phone which will work on all major US carriers without any additional tweaking, other than simply inserting the sim. card.

Use this patched Odin version:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120715012

Flash this G935U_UEU4BQD2_v7.0.0 firmware:

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862723811

If you select the CS/CSC package with the HOME name, it will not wipe your user data.

If you select the CS/CSC package without the HOME name, it WILL wipe your user data.

If it fails for some reason, you can always flash it back to the Sprint firmware.

Pick your poison.

Enjoy!
