Anyone know if the Sprint Zone apk will work on this? Can someone pull it from the stock Sprint firmware? Its the only Sprint app I ever used and is pretty convenient.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] optimummind:
No. I'm on the old unlimited Everything Data 1500 plan.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] phelony:
All right ill give her a shot
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Eyezayah:
When i reboot my phone I seem to always get this error. Anyone else seeing this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] phelony:
This is not the case for me. When I do this it says "Unable to turn on mobile hotspot."

I am unable to do the quick toggle trick for mobile hotspot that worked on the sprint variant rom. it appears to turn hotspot on but then a few seconds later it toggles off and "Unable to turn on mobile hotspot."
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] optimummind:
Hmm, that's weird.

Here is my screenshot.

Odin pretty rooted tar

Someone should make a prerooted tar of this update that we can flash thru odin
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
+1000 this. Sprint would not give up the MSL for nothing. So damn annoying
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] LeftyGR:
That would be nice. But we can't. It won't install if samsung didn't sign it. And we can't fake the sig.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
So, we need to find a root method for this one ☺

Man, I wish I didn't have to depend on someone else for that lol

I'm going to attempt to get my MSL somehow, and then come back to this. Sprint gave me some code 873507 , but it doesn't allow me to make edits to the APNs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] chatchatchat:
Does VoLTE and Wifi calling work when you flash this ROM ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] hleo114312:
I dont know, i libe in mexico and here we dont have VoLTE nor use wifi calling. So cannot tell. Sorry

Ok. thanks for the quick reply. Can you share the link you got the TMO rom from?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] hleo114312:
I got it from the att forum, was the first post talking about the g935u there. If you cant find it, later i send you link. I dont have any trouble in my side. Its s tmo 935u and get 5:40hrs with 1day and 10hrs of battery life

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
I have my MSL. What are you trying to do with it though?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
Edit APNs through ##3282#

Sprint support gave me a code that let view them, just not edit them. That was a tease lol

How did you get your MSL? Didnt have to do anything you'll regret i hope. Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
Nah, I used to work for corporate Sprint retail before I graduated. The thing is, I don't think it was a big deal if ppl went to the store and asked for their MSL. At least not at our store but each store could be different.

Also, ##3282# (also known as ##data#) takes you back to the APN settings menu that can be found under the normal Settings>Mobile networks>Access Point Names.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
Yes, but after ##3282# hit 'edit' and enter your MSL, see if it actually lets you edit the APNs instead of sinply viewing them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
I really doubt it but I'll go ahead and try it out for the sake of possibly achieving an activated root on the 935U firmware for our phones.

Btw, what were you saying to them that they wouldn't give you your MSL code and why did they tell you no?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] MatthewPresley:
Looks like the July Security update is rolling out to the actual unlocked model

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67699809&postcount=13

If any Sprint users have gotten it (and it updates ok), post here please!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
I told them i needed to be able to edit APNs for network testing at work and they said they couldn't give me the MSL because i they still 'owned' the device. Yet they internationally unlocked the device but they would not give me the MSL because i 'could' unlock the device domestically.

Which, btw i do not want. I actually love sprint. I've been with them for 10+ years. They just have no sense of loyalty apparently.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
There used to be these rooted apps that could tell you your MSL. Not sure if they're still around since I haven't had to use one but you should look into it.

Eventually, they'll have us get off the Everything Data plans when they no longer offer subsidy devices. That'll be the day though =/.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
Yeah, no way im leaving my plan lol

And yeah, ive been trying like a madman to find that MSL but it seems they hid it somewhere new. If anyone has any insight, do tell...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] optimummind:
Today I went to the idone website and purchased the Domestic SIM Unlock app. In order for the DSU to work, I had to first revert back to the PC5 ROM.

The DSU app worked flawlessly and I verified that it was working by inserting my AT&T SIM card and adding in the AT&T APN.

Although I got HSPA & HSPA+, however, I wasn't able to connect to LTE band 17 (what I expected). This was the same case with my other Sprint phones - Sprint Galaxy S4, Sprint Galaxy Note 3, and Sprint Galaxy S6 Edge.

I powered off the phone and flashed it back to the 935U PEH ROM with my AT&T SIM card still inside.

Upon reboot and the initial setup, I noticed a new setup screen. Something along the lines of "we detected a AT&T SIM card so we'll configure your phone for you automatically." After the SIM setup finished, the phone rebooted itself automatically.

When I went into the Mobile Network settings, the correct APN was already filled out (when I was on the Sprint ROM, I had to enter the APN manually myself). I retained the ability to add new APNs after the flash to 935U.

Using SignalCheck Pro, I was able to confirm that I can now connect to AT&T Band 17 LTE, something I couldn't do on the Sprint 935P ROM even with DSU!! Apparently, the 935U ROM enables ALL the supported radios for all the carriers and not just the ones Sprint allows after a DSU.

This is so friggin cool!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
Definitely pretty cool! Especially for those that use more than one carrier!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] phelony:
If you're on sprint and need your msl pm me. I won't say more here but I got you.

Edit I no longer work for sprint. Sorry guys. I moved wayyyyy up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] optimummind:
However, these is one catch. If you reboot the phone with the Sprint SIM, the DSU becomes undone due to the Sprint Profile Update which you cannot stop.

To go back to the AT&T or other carrier SIM, you have to run the DSU Unlock App again on the 935P PC5 ROM (you don't have to pay for the DSU again if you get the DSU from idoneapps).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
nice ;) lol

Taking my shot at root on the 935U firmware again with my MSL. I'll report back soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] bighleo114312:
hey i just saw that in the first link they have the full `PF2(g935p). but i dont have an account to download a file bigger than 2gb,,, sucks. this helps for going back to stock. if some one can lean somehelp thnks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
Post #1 has a link to the .rar in his google cloud that has the full firmware. As far as the "Sprint" version of the 935U firmware, I can confirm by checking the MD5's on this Sprint 935U that this it is the same firmware that's floating around for all the other s7 edge variants and there is no difference. I'm pretty sure someone had already said that too but I can't remember where.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] sanjay228:
I have found one more thing that no longer works, though I'm not sure how important this is to most people, but nextradio no longer has access to the FM chip in my Sprint s7 edge.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] ryan2202:
Tried system update, still says PEH is the latest for me.

I have not had a single problem, hiccup, or issues with this firmware so far. Not even a random reboot or error msg.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] MatthewPresley:
Some unlocked users are not seeing it. I bet it is a slow roll out. We shall see. I'm totally flashing this if it get updates outside of Sprint
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] DJSmoove:
Hey I just tried to install this rom and after odin this rom my phone keeps rebooting into recovery mode. I get error messages

No Support Single-Sku

E:failed setting up target

dm-verify verifation failed

I followed all the instruction how to install this rom. Anyone got any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] raze5115:
Then someone should make a custom recovery so people can make custom roms that are prerooted

Don't use csc_home, use the other csc file. The op didn't mention that it fails if you use csc_home. I found that out the hard way

Btw is this safe to root yet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] ryan2202:
the bootloader is still locked.

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

wipe and try again. I also recommend powering the phone OFF before going into download mode. Not sure if thats an issue with this phone but its something that was recommended with previous phones Ive had like the GS4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] hleo114312:
Yes i saw that. But in the samsung.livexxxx i saw the files x all U's but if i type to search model g935p it will show all files and i see the new PF2 there but i cant download it because i dont have an accout in any of those 2 links they give

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] raze5115:
With this rom vs. the actual sprint versions you have to use the provided bl, ap, and cp files but instead of using the home_csc file you have to use the csc_oym file for the csc option. The actual sprint versions you have to use the provided bl, ap, cp, and csc_home files.

With this phone the only way to get to download mode is to completely power off the phone first unlike with previous android versions with had a different power menu that included going into download mode if needed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
uhh.... i don't think you're suppose to use the csc_home files with the Sprint version either.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
All the different 935U firmware's are the same according to the MD5 check that I did. Not so sure about the new PF2 that came out but I doubt it's any different.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] LeftyGR:
My understanding as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] raze5115:
I used the home_csc file to flash my sprint version rom & i used the non home_csc file to flash the unlocked rom. But i guess my phone is weird then

#1. Don't use *2 to get MSL. Use the Sprint Web Chat:

https://www.sprint.com/landings/chat/?ECID=vanity:chat

For issue type I did Device / Network and reason - Data issues - phone is asking for MSL

#2. Just say you were having data issues, and you were going to reset your phone programming w/o factory reset but it's asking for MSL (##RESET# used to do this, but it's not on the GS7E actually).

Jewel M : Thank you for contacting Sprint. My name is Jewel M. I am happy to help you today.

Jewel M : Hello ######

Jewel M : How are you doing today?

Jewel M : I can see that you are looking for an MSL.

You : Hi, I was having some data issues, I was going to do a reset to re-program the phone from sprint but it's asking for MSL

Jewel M : Ok

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Kidmet:
If you have an old sprint phone, activate it, then switch back to your new one. Sprint sends you an email with a curious 6 digit number that "you may need". It's your MSL.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] DJSmoove:
I had this rom for 24 hours then all of sudden my radio goes out and get message my sim card got locked. Whats up with that? I just went to recovery and wipe data factory reset.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] wcr84:
People in the AT&T section are finding major problems with this firmware after going back to AT&T stock. Sounds like there file partitions may be messed up. Major problems with calls text and data
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] DJSmoove:
Figures, Now I'm getting error codes saying .com phone.sec not working and so forth. I notice earlier today my data lagging was having problems loading. I might just download PF2 and go back to that for now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] wcr84:
I hate to, but I am doing the same. I have ran mine against my wifes phone which is stock. I've noticed major differences with data. Hers will get more consistent 4g while mine wants to hand off and on. Only thing I notice is a little bit better battery. But really don't notice the performance difference.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] raze5115:
I'm on sprint. Is this rom safe for me to root and will I still retain my lte?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] LeftyGR:
No. This rom currently does not have a root method in which mobile data remains intact for Sprint users. Root works, just no data.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] raze5115:
Ok it's just the website ads & pop-ups are extremely annoying & i wish I could run adaway on this. & as far as root goes on this rom has anyone tried it while using a gear s2 paired up to track sleep. On the second latest sprint rom when I had it rooted my "sleep as android" app on both phone & my gear s2 wouldn't connect to each other & i couldn't update my gear s2 via gear manager at all either for some reason. Besides that everything else worked perfectly
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] optimummind:
I'm not using Sleep As Android but I have no pairing or Gear S2 software update issues with this ROM. In fact, I just received a Gear app update today.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] raze5115:
But are you using a rooted version of this rom? It only happens when the phone is rooted. That's why I specifically asked if the people who rooted this rom had those issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] optimummind:
Nope, no root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] raze5115:
Like I said I only have those problems when my phone is rooted that's why I was asking the people that had rooted this rom if they ran across those issues
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] CNexus:
Thanks for posting, gonna diff this with stock to see if we can't get the device properly activated after rooting
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinke1605:
Hello.

I already posted my problem in the other thread, but as I think more information about it will be good, hope you will not mind for starting another thread.

So, I got my hands on a broken S6 for European market. I do not know what happened to it, when turned on, at the first screen bunch of errors appeared and phone was unusable. So I tried to factory reset it, but that did not help. After reset phone turned on but immediately a message apeared that there is no app that can perform that action and that is that. So I decided to flash another stock rom. Installed ADB and fastboot via that fast 15 sec install, installed drivers for my phone and downloaded stock rom for UK Vodafone. ADB did not see my phone, while fastboot did. I tried flashing the rom with fastboot but did get only errors... It says that file was succesfully transfered but then errors appears. I thought maybe that boot loader is locked, so I tried to execute fastboot command to see that information. but nothing happened... Just three dots and nothing, waited for one hour, nothing happened.

So, to sumarize, only fastboot sees my phone, and ADB, Kies and Odin does not. I cannot execute any order in fastboot, cannot go to download mode and I cannot check if bootloader is locked. What are my possibilities?

Thank You.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarryDoo:
What are you trying to flash with fastboot? The tar/tar.md5 is for flashing from Odin only!

Try "fastboot" and "fastboot oem ?" and see if there's a reboot command for other modes (I can't check, I'm on the road with no PC). Post the output of these two commands if you're unsure.

As Odin and ADB doesn´t see the phone, I tried flashing it with fastboot. Downloaded stock firmware, extracted it form .zip file and got a tar.md5 file. Then I just removed the .md5 extension and extracted .tar file and got following .img and .bin files:

boot.img

cache.img

cm.bin

sboot.bin

sending 'recovery' (27928 KB)...

OKAY [475.419s]

writing 'recovery'...

FAILED (remote:

finished. total time: 475.426s

So I think it might be boot locked, but cannot check it or unlocked it when I get those errors... Any idea?

Command

fastboot oem unlock

also returns only three dots, as if something is working, but nothing happens.

Did execute this command now, I will give it more time, maybe something come up.

Thank You.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forumber2:
Samsung devices doesn't support fastboot mode.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinke1605:
I am somewhat puzzled now. Samsung doesn't support fastboot? Then why there is fastboot mode on S6? Or you meant that flashing rom over fastboot isn't supported?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarryDoo:
Just out of curiosity... What's on the screen?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinke1605:
On the PC screen or the S6?

On the S6 when I press Power+Volume Up+Home I get a menu with following options: Recovery Mode, Fastboot Mode and Normal Boot.

Volume Up to select, and Volume down is OK.

At one point I suspected that I have a fake S6, but recovery mode is in English, everything is. Under Android system recovery sign there are some numbers and letters, if that is important: ALPS.KK1.MP6.V1. At the time when I suspected in fake S6, I watched about dossen movies on youtube on how to know is it a fake or not. In every point compared it is original S6, even at logo and start screen.

The only thing I cannot do is go to download mode to be able to use Odin, so I am stuck with fastboot, because ADB also doesn`t see my phone.

Using fastboot I can restart it in boot loader mode, but not in download mode. If I cannot flash it with fastboot, then what are my options?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarryDoo:
I'm confused. I thought home button was broken?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinke1605:
Now I am confused. Again. :D

I quess you mixed something up. Home button is working. I think this is a problem with corrupted system partitions, but it is unclear why ADB doesn`t work, and why I cannot boot to download mode to be able to use Odin...

Unless it is damaged beyond repair, but before I factory reset it, it got stuck on enter PIN screen, and now it just says there is no home app and no app can do...something, I cant remember exactly, so I think it can be repared, it not bricked.

Oh, yeah, and why I cannot turn off phone when it is in ADB mode?

I really would like to fix this phone, so any and all help is welcome.

EDIT: Check this out... When pressing Power+Volume Down+Home, and then when Samsung logo appears, if I press Volume Up a Chinese recovery menu appears... Does that mean that it is a clone? Is it possible that someone did something to that phone and installed chinese recovery? Because if I press button combination for a recovery mode, normal recovery (in English) appears. So, I have a phone with both English and Chinese recovery?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forumber2:
First of all, your phone is NOT REAL S6. Your phone is a mediatek clone.

We can't do anything about it.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinke1605:
Ok... I suspected it is a fake. But it is a phone, wright? It is Android on it, wright? So, why you cannot do nothing about it? Is it immposible to flash Samsung stock rom on it? If it is, there has to be some other rom that can be flashed, and some other way. I am curious to see how it works, even it is a fake. Also, it looks just like the original, compared to other fakes and the original S6. How is that possible?

But ok, if no one want to help, I will look elswhere.

For those who tried to help, thanks.

For those who doesn't want to help, also thanks, but for nothing.

See you.
