Just guessing, but your previous installed firmware is probably newer than what you are trying to install. You are trying to install a bootloader binary of 4, but if you have updated your phone with Sprint firmware recently, you are running a binary of 5 or 6.

Could also be a bad download, but I'm guessing the former.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] _PaPaUpA_:
I really Dont know what binary im running, please help me

This is the sprint firmware in running right now
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] lvpre:
You are running 6. You can only install the latest Sprint firmware.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] gildude86:
anyone have any idea when the other carries besides Sprint will release in binary 5?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] lvpre:
Hopefully, the Oreo update will fix this; however, Sprint is already on 6. This is either a good sign or Sprint being Sprint.

The other major updates resulted in all carriers updating the bootloader, so who knows.

WiFi Calling?

I can get WiFi calling to work by manually getting to it with shortcut master. However VolLTE (even though enabled in IMS Settings) doesn't work. in that menu the IMS profile shows registered = false. Has anyone gotten VoLTE working on this rom? or (if they got it working on another rom, can they share/screenshot their Sprint IMS profile?

Oreo

I just loaded the Oreo update for U firmware, and so far so good. There are a few annoying UI things, (app badge, samsung notifications), but I got rid of all the annoying stuff and everything seems to be working fine. It's probably placebo, but it does feel a little snappier. But, most importantly, hotspot can still be hacked! Shortcut MasterLite still works a charm. I've only played around with it for a short time, so I'll post any further discoveries as I make them. And yes, it's still bootloader v4 so theoretically you should still be able to downgrade to previous version if you run into trouble. But so far I don't think that will be necessary.

Cheers.

Quick update: Still on April 1, 2018 security patch. WTF?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Cooljb:
Oreo

YMMV, but I ended up doing a factory reset after upgrading to Oreo. I probably could have gotten away with not doing it, but there were some quirky things related to Samsung Experience (new name for Touchwiz) that weren't working quite right. And I have never done a factory reset on the phone ever, and this is the second major version update (first was Nougat), so there were probably some leftover crap from previous versions lingering that needed to be purged anyway. It wasn't fun, but after resetting it everything is running smoothly. No more quirks or hiccups like before.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] eldervamp17:
What carrier do you have? Is it Sprint? Prior to your update, did you phone have a bootloader v4 firmware? I'm currently on latest Sprint Stock Rom G935P and it has Binary 6.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Cooljb:
I'm on sprint. And I've been running the U firmware from day one, so I already had v4 bootloader, and still do, since the update is still v4. There is supposedly a workaround to get from the v6 "P" to the v4 "U" firmware, but I don't know the specifics. You might try searching for the workaround. Good luck.

RG3 - July Security Patch

There's another U firmware update, RG3. It gets us to July 1, 2018 security patch level. You can get it OTA or at sammobile.com.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Cooljb:
RH2 Update

Security update available for both S7s (regular and edge). Available via OTA or sammobile.com. 60MB so probably nothing major other than security patch update. It's August 1, 2018 security Patch level.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Cooljb:
RK1 Update

Is available OTA or on sammobile.com. It's only 45 KB so it's probably just security update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Cooljb:
RK2 Update

RK2 update is available OTA, on sammobile.com and on updato.com. December 1, 2018 Security Patch Level. Hotspot APN edit still works fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Cooljb:
SA1 Update

Samsung is getting surprisingly regular with updates for the unlocked firmware for this phone. They seem to be coming once a month now. This one is January 1, 2019 security patch level. Weighs in at 45 MB. Available OTA or at sammobile.com
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Leone/kyleproxx:
I'm just waiting for an update that fixes my battery drain problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] lvpre:
Do you have a lot of stuff synced? Could be a bad app too. Plus, my s7 is two and a half years old.... The battery is old is probably the biggest reason.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Leone/kyleproxx:
My battery life was ok until the November security update. I got well over 5 hours SOT but now I only get about 3 and a half and I noticed it the second day after updating it so it's not battery.

Anyone have the latest FW pack for this?

Having trouble downloading, both sammobile and updato are impossible..

I'm on SM-G935P, I think I want the latest U version?

Pretty sure I'm already binary 8
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Cooljb:
SA3 Update

Right on Schedule, another update for the U firmware. They're coming once a month now like clockwork. Weighs in at 320 MB, so it must be more than just security update. Available OTA or for download at sammobile.com. Shortcut Master Lite hack still works for editing APN for hotspot. Just realized it's bootloader 9 now. So no going back (either to previous version of U firmware or to any sprint firmware) if you take this update. Maybe next sprint firmware update will be bootloader 9 too, but it's not out yet.

Hi

Hi . Download link of this rom has been delleted . Please make new download link my phone is G935T i want change it to G935U
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] noidodroid:
Latest patch should be March 1, 2019. I came from a G935P to the unlocked U Firmware and have had zero issues at all except for faster battery drain but i believe that is due to age more than anything from what i logged. I unlocked this phone as well before all of this and still I am able to use sprint back on it if i wanted to.. (Might need to try a Relock but it does read fine and initiate ODADM). Have tried every carrier CDMA/GSM under the moon and all were able to be activated.. This is the PRO of having the Sprint model as it has all bands including its own of course which you do not see on other variants. I didn't use the OP's firmware i have my own i got a hold of. I am attempting to root it with our teams temp root now but it is not looking like that is going to happen on BIN 9 ha...

I will post the firmware up here this morning in a thread for all to download and use!

---------- Post added at 04:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 AM ----------

Take back the rooting part. Rooted fine with our rootkit! Going to explore superusers and see if i can get something to stay then maybe look into a full on user root. I was able to turn our root into a semi user root on a few samsung and non samsung devices so its a possibility.

Hi

I have a foul G935P i believe this phone not to be stock. It was missing for some time and then arrived to me in mail from an area i hadnt been. Strange as it is ive noticed differences in the Android UI and tends to have a mind of its own (a remote user) what can i do to flash it to stock or even to G935U? For more functionality. I just bought a G930V and had no idea how different the Edge was from its stock. Since i have had accounts stripped from me and my ovetall enjoyment of these electronics has been marred. I keep getting lost in reading how-tos medically i have attention and memory problems. I could just use this simplified. I am capable once dumbed down. I need help basically. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] noidodroid:
Sure. This can be done. Depends on the binary available of the U firmware and you will have to watch where you get it as well. I'd repartition first then I would write the stock version of Android OS and Bit you are on. After this locate and check logcat for anything out of the ordinary as well as checking your Android startup for rootkits that are respawning .. I had an incident and still do here that was related to online pests / firm and also offline pests / technology / firm etc that was not by my doing.. So.. back to the issue.. once you have done this search the forums for guides on how to convert that device over to U as its not something all Sammy support AFAIK.

I popped in my AT&T SIM card and got an Invalid Sim card error. Sprint still needs to DSU the phone first.

I wonder, once Sprint DSU the phone, will this Sprint phone on 935U work on Verizon?

Thank you for posting this! My unlocked 935P is now running as a 935U on T-Mobile (as before) though with WiFi calling and no carrier bloat. I have access to APN settings and I've created a new APN and utilizing it.

During the boot process it identified the T-Mobile SIM and configured itself accordingly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] optimummind:
It wouldn't work. After installing the 935U rom, I performed a factory reset. Either Sprint or a third-party has to perform the DSU first.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] optimummind:
When your Sprint 935P was DSU'ed and running on Sprint, were the APN settings editable?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
This would be great, to have editable APN settings without rooting. My employer isn't very accepting of company email on rooted devices...

So did anyone ever get update notification for June security patch? I would love to flash this unbloated version. But I want to receive updates. I noticed in the pic on the first post while updating PRL/Profile that it says ( reporting firmware version to server ) kinda odd
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] NewGuy1337:
Yea Somebody In This Thread Mentioned Something About You Being Able To Receive Updates
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] wcr84:
OK I did some digging. The unlocked model came out on June 30th for the US market so my guess is the security patch will come for July 1st soon. You will get your updates from Sammy from now on and not the carrier since your running the same software that is on the unlocked US model. That's a definite plus side. More than likely you'll have Android N before the carrier variants.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
I tried the 935U firmware last night and it was speedy and fast. Really liked it. Then I took a shot a rooting it. Here's what I noticed:

Activated easily unrooted

Easy root method just like the regular firmware but...

Lost data as well

APN settings were grayed out so I couldn't edit

No "Activate this device" option in the settings like in our regular firmware

There IS an activate application. It's called something a long the lines of "Sprint OSDM". Can't really remember what exactly it was called because I messed with it around 2-4 AM last night. I found out what it was called before I rooted by by dialing ##72786# and once you see the "Checking device" in the status bar.... press and hold it and it should bring up the App notification window. Press the little "i" that has the circle around it and that'll take you to the "Application info" that gives you the real name.

There's another package associated with it that I can't remember. Maybe the "Sprint OSDM interface" just like the interface in the regular firmware

I was not able to get data back on and I was not able to get any calls

Tried dialing the same ##72786# after rooting it to see if I could activate and the activate application wouldn't even come up =(

At least that was my first time messing with it. Sooner than later I'll probably mess with it again and give it another go.

How did you get editable APNs? I was able to add a blank APNS but couldn't edit it's info. LTE/3G was working after I replaced the apn-conf.xml file with sprint APNs but the APN settings were still blank and MMS was not working.

Currently using the G935U stock and it's great but wouldn't mind having root with proper data services.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Eyezayah:
Are you guys able to get MMS through wifi calling? I'm using Textra, and one of the options that used to be there for MMS through wifi is no longer. If I click the T-Mobile fix option that seems to work, but all it does is disable wifi for a moment to get the MMS to send/receive then turn it back on. Previously I could get MMS over wifi without the system disabling wifi.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] miguelmedina1993:
OK guys so after a lot of critical thinking I finally found a fix. So hopefully me sharing how I fixed can help others

So I made the mistake of adding my Samsung account at the beginning when I was setting up my phone freshly off flashing it. And that's why when I had finally updated all my apps and updated my phone...... I kept getting that error message whenever I opened the app. So I went into settings,accounts, and then deleted my Samsung account off the phone. Then I restarted, opened the Samsung pay app, and added my Samsung account inside the Samsung pay. I seriously thought it wasn't gonna work but it did!
