I am sorry for the newb question but just want to make sure before I take the plung, I just download the odin file you have in post1 then I can grab the newer os at the top of the page to replace the one in your file to install the pg9 instead of the peh one? I am also on the pg1 right now, so it will just overwrite my os and maybe loose my apps? But if it all works correctly I will then have hotspot working right out of the box with no issue and no knox trip? I have not done nothing to the phone just yet I just got it very recently so no root or anything done.

Again sorry for the newb questions but just making sure so not to screw up my phone lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] LeftyGR:
Yes. Each version is a stand alone install, so you do not need to be on the first one to flash the second.

The process will wipe all data including apps and internal sd card. Make sure anything u wanna save is on external sd card.

You will not trip knox. Hotspot will not work out of the box. Search this thread, there's a fix in here somewhere...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] MoparPogue:
LeftyGR, Do you have a "known good source" for just the ODIN package you used? I know it's nit-picky, but I live in the sticks and don't have broadband.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] LeftyGR:
I use the odin from this thread. In the OP under files you'll need...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] MoparPogue:
Awesome. Thanks. This is obviously not for you, but for others going through the process.

TIPS:

Make sure your USB is plugged directly into your computer. Using the same hub I use to flash my LG G4 and my S4, the flash process would fail. It wouldn't hurt to use the USB cable that came with it.

Ensure you have Smart Switch installed. If all else fails, recovery.

If you're using a different ODIN, ensure your MD5 hashes are correct. Not all ODINs are the same.

If you get a failure in ODIN, your device will fail to a recovery screen. You won't be able to boot into the "Vol Down + Home + Power" screen. The recovery screen is the same thing. Flash from there.

Don't panic. This package is signed by Samsung. If you see the recovery screen troubleshoot your connections and try again. (I can confirm this first hand.)

Is it worth updating to PG9? Have any problems been fixed from PEH? Have any problems appeared in PG9?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] neuton:
One more quick question will this and the hotspot method work for me if my phone is on the installment plan?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] optimummind:
PG9 patched up the Quadrooter vulnerabilities.

Try it and see.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jickdotti1:
Yes it is a Samsung signed rom for the g935u but it works with all s7 edge variants with snapdragon 820
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] ryan2202:
Im not sure what you mean. I dont use any sort of dose apps.

I am back on PEH/PG9 (rooted PE1 battery life sucks for me) and I will see if the screen wakes up when I get texts.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] aakid22:
So guys, today out of nowhere, my phone was not able to take any pictures. Every time I launched the camera app it crashed. I opened Camera FV5, another app, and it reported a problem with the camera's driver. I reset my phone and will report if the issue returns.

EDIT: So reseting didn't work so I flashed back to PEH and at first it didn't work either, however after restarting my phone a few times, I got it working. It looks like the app, camera FV-5, kept crashing the camera driver when shooting raw, but I could shoot with the normal app again after restarting.

Hello, i just want to confirm what ive been reading through most of these threads. Basically, if i flash this rom, i will not have the Samsung bloat or the sprint bloat. Are there any trade offs? Other than no bloat, possibly better battery, what else am i getting from running the official unlocked rom. How does this work when samsung/sprint update the sprint model with model specific updates, i guess ill be missing those right? I just want to make sure the pro's are better than the cons for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] MatthewPresley:
From previous posts, it looks like this device received the August patch directly from Samsung. The sprint model has yet to receive this patch... I'm tempted to flash this as well, if it is problem (and bloat) free.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jnadke:
Yes, you will get patches directly from Samsung, which will be issued as they deem necessary.

This release has demonstrated patches deemed necessary will roll out to you quicker than carriers. So if you want Android 7.0, you want to be on this ROM to get it first. Until now nobody knew if Samsung would delay Unlocked phone patches until carriers certified it. This release has demonstrated they are not waiting.

The only real negatives are Visual Voicemail or Sprint Zone. I think there are ways to add these, but I use Google Voice for voicemail. Otherwise this ROM adds features that Sprint may have requested to be removed (My "Apps edge" has a "frequently used apps".... I'm not sure if that was there before).

The other bloat (Facebook/Messenger/Instagram) are still there due to the partnership. The only real negative is on the Sprint ROM the Amazon app store is integrated so it has root permission (don't have to uncheck the allow 3rd party apps). This is only if you use the Amazon App store.

I am on this ROM and have not had any issues other users claimed. Always wipe your data and factory reset before flashing, and just to be safe do a ODIN flash TWICE. I also did a ##BRAND# reset before flashing, just in case (then did Power+Home+Vol UP and wiped from the bootloader, then Power+Home+Vol Down to flash).

In fact, if you're thinking about hopping on this ROM I'd do it ASAP just in case Sprint rolls a new bootloader version like T-Mobile did.

Moga Hero Power is the best. Not too big, not too small. Decent not loose analog stick. You can get them cheap on eBay. But if you have very big hands then you may want the Moga Pro Power.

Mode B is USB HID for standard bluetooth controller.

But this is off-topic.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] optimummind:
For me, the 935U ROM has meant better battery life, faster updates, and smoother. Also, if you DSU the phone while on the Sprint ROM and flash the 935U ROM over it and stick in a, lets say, an AT&T SIM card, you get access to all the LTE bands. On a Sprint ROM with DSU, you only get a few LTE bands.

For example, on a DSU'ed Sprint ROM, you don't get band 17 LTE. On the 935U, you can get band 17.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] MatthewPresley:
Would you have to DSU the Sprint rom first or could you DSU while on this ROM? I'm curious as I'm not happy with Sprint service in my area at all and would want to be able to use this phone optimally on any other network.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] optimummind:
DSU first on the Sprint ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] kennypow3rs:
First I want to thank everyone that replied to me I really appreciate it. I'm sure this unlocked rom is good, I'm not going to pretend like even stock I still get lock ups and random freezes and weird issues this rom is not perfect. So I've decided I'm going to take the plunge. Right now I'm on the PG1 rom I think, how do I DSU first? I'm assuming that means device unlock?

Also the bloatware sucks. I hate that Android phones come loaded with crap ware like lookout, Facebook, sprint apps, amazon apps. Thats BS man. As much as i hate apple, they don't put up with all that crap and stupid carrier logos on phones.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] optimummind:
If you're planning on using the phone on a different network, you should DSU it first. Afterwards, take out the Sprint SIM card and flash the 935U ROM. Then stick in the other carrier's SIM and boot the phone up.

If you boot the 935U ROM with the Sprint SIM card inside, the phone will become locked again to Sprint, unless it was Sprint who gave you the DSU in the first place.

There are two CSC files in the new zip (PG9). One of them is HOME_CSC, the other one is just CSC. What's the difference between the two? Which one should I use?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] optimummind:
Don't use the Home_CSC one. For me, the flash aborts & doesn't complete.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] steve_xyz:
Great. Thanks for the heads up!

Anyone have issues with the visual VM still?

I'm using the one here that is said to work but it still has not verified my account after 24 hours?

If you go into settings and pref it shows it's still trying and sometimes when I open the app it pops it up that it's trying.

What do yours say in the pref for the top option?

I also left myself a VM and it can't download it.

I don't think any of these apps will work because they require some settings from the stupid sprint bloat.

The ones that have tried to use the other versions and get that java error, it's looking for a setting sprint zone normally leaves behind that requires root to mess with.

I think we're going to end up screwed on a VM app.

I can't use GVoice either as I already use it for another number on the phone.

Also, anyone test if HD Voice works on this firmware? If you have WiFi Calling provisioned I know it probably wont just as on the sprint rom but if you deprovision it do you get?

I flashed this over a sprint phone. it works amazing

now that I tried to root it it wont activate. is there different instuctions to root this rom on a sprint phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] thekojac:
I'm one of the people that flashed it on his Verizon S7E and I noticed the same thing. I can't edit/add any APN settings. Oddly enough, it has all the Verizon APN settings in there correctly and everything works. But I'd still like to figure out how to edit them.

I'm traveling to Europe in a month and will be buying a local SIM over there, so being able to set my APN settings will be crucial (unless the phone somehow knows what APN to use based on SIM card).

Downloaded this last night, may give it a shot today.

No issues activating or with data/wifi etc?

If there is no bloatware is there any reason to root it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
I think the big reason would be to allow editing the APNs, which it looks like from posts previous, it still doesn't allow. Perhaps modifying the /system/etc/apn_config.xml(not sure if that's the correct name) would do the trick?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] ryan2202:
Why is there a need to edit the APNs? Isnt there an Activate option that would give the APNs needed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
Easy: Tethering. Can't add 'dun' without editing APNs. Possibly other reasons, but I imagine this is #1.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] ryan2202:
Got it thanks.

Anyone tested out the Camera yet? Does it have the same options and features we have on our locked Sprint versions? I love the camera on this phone so curious if the unlocked version is any different.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] mattyone1:
Camera app looks exactly the same. And tethering option is available.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] MatthewPresley:
Probably a question that will take time to answer, but does this affect OTA? Would we still get OTAs from Sprint, or would they come from Samsung directly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] DruoGaby:
i actually wondered this same thing...cuz its actually an update behind as well...i was my june security patch ..now back to may
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] mattyone1:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] neuton:
So if we want to have root and maybe hotspot to work do we need to install the rom and then follow [MENTION=5840143]colormedroid[/MENTION] to get the root and hotspot to work correctly?

Yes. Then debloat to your desired level.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
Root will break your radio and data connection with the SPR U firmware. The root instructions don't work with the U firmware, only with the G935P firmware for the Sprint phone. If you root, the only way to get radio and data back is to reflash the original U or P device firmware.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] sheetmetalninja:
well that blows.... I LOVE this U firmware and love it even more with hotspot... root would be the icing on the cake for sure. hopefully someone figures out a way to root without busting the radio.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
Well, if someone wants to be brave. They can try this file after rooting:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0ImjNvqL6IQb3h6OHlEUDVyLTg/view?usp=drivesdk

Goes in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases...

Overwrite the original and give it the same permissions. Mine is RWX-RWX-RWX

Reboot.

*This is from my Note7, but it shouldn't matter. It doesn't have anything device specific in there. I only modified it to have hotspot.

There might be more to it, but hopefully this helps. This will at least give you APNs. I'm just not sure if it carries settings over to the build.prop or not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] squirrell84:
not true..Verizon can root the u firmware and Verizon and sprint are the same phone.. when just need to try their guide... I know right now I'm getting ready to flash a Verizon rom to my phone just to test it... but spec boot loader everthing looks the same between sprint and Verizon..they both are cdma phones after all
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
Nice suggestion. I'll try it later tonight. I am rooted on the G935P with PG1 stock. I have copied the telephony.db from that location into my sd card so I can copy that one back after I root the U firmware. If that doesn't work, I'll try your db file.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] LeftyGR:
Not true. Verizon and sprint root methods vary slightly. Verizon roms will not work on our device, that's why they're verizon only roms.

Yes they are the same phone, but does not have the same software to make it work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] MatthewPresley:
What is a ##BRAND# reset?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jnadke:
It's probably not all that necessary. It's a dialer code, but you need your MSL to do it. Open your phone dialer and dial those numbers (the numbers associated with the letters BRAND with the ## and # before and after).

It wipes all carrier branding from memory (which is promptly reloaded if you boot it fully again). I just did it to make sure APN settings are fully cleared.

Of course I flashed the unlocked ROM before booting fully again.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] ryan2202:
So I seem to have lost wifi calling? It was working previously, then I ended up reflashing PEH/PG9 because I was having some issues with Samsung Restore so I started from scratch. Now it doesnt seem to allow me to enable wifi calling at all. The toggle moves to ON but when I back out and go back in, its back OFF and WFC services do not initialize when I try to turn it on. Im in the process of reflashing straight to PG9 and not restoring to see what happens.

EDIT: Flashing straight to PG9 didnt help.

I then flashed back to PE1 and WIFI calling enables fine.

Gonna try one more time back to PEH, maybe a different download link this time and see if it works.

EDIT 2:

So I downloaded the PEH at the top of this thread and flashed, and wifi calling is working again. The PEH I was flashing never went through an Activation phase but the one I just downloaded went through Activation like normal. Not sure why it wasnt working on the PEH I was using before. Anyway back on PEH/PG9 and not messing with it again any time soon lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] MatthewPresley:
First time flasher here. Everything seem to be working. So far I've tested calling, SMS/MMS, Samsung Pay, Camera, but there are some odd quirks that I'm noticing. If anyone else is seeing these, I'd like to know

1. The phone is very sluggish when waking. Meaning if I leave sitting for a while and pick it up. I usually have to wait a 5 to 10 seconds before it responds normally. Im running GoodLock (which ran great on the Sprint ROM) but I've seen several complaints about it potentially being a culprit of sluggishness.

2. I can seem to set a different notification sound for Hangouts. It always defaults to the standard sound eve though it shows the correctly selected sound. I wonder if there could be an issue with using SmartSwitch to restore from a backup.... hmmm.

3. I had one issue this morning where my hardware nav buttons, stopped working all together. I had to reset the phone to get them back.

Love the lack of bloat and extra enhancements to some of the features

-The Camera has a new Shape Correction toggle. Going to play with that...

-For Musicians: This ROM supports Google's Pro Audio low latency. I'm now able to set the OpenSL buffer size down to 192 buffers!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] thegame2388:
So then how do I fix it? It has DEF happened to me more than 10 times. I will have a conversation with a friend,then out of nowhere, they will stop replying (because their texts aren't coming through)..

It's happened with SMS and MMS and I'm using Textra if that helps
