G930az tus4apl1

If anyone is willing to flash the latest G930AZ_TUS4APL1 (AT&T based AIO), then please report back.

Supposed to have less bloat than the pure AT&T version.

This firmware unlock the phone?

No it won't. It's stock.

You might have have to flash a newer version of this firmware. Newer bootloaders don't allow flashing older firmware.

No.

How do I know what firmware version I have and what bootloader version I have? I have a stock G930AZ with the january 1, 2017 security patch. What bootloader version does this firmware have.

I'm not able to root G930AZ so I want to try flashing this version then rooting.

Also should we be using the PrinceComsy odin?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blade22222:
Sorry.

You probably have the newer bootloader. I don't have any links to the newest version, sorry. As for Oden that's the one I use. I'm using 930v.

Hi, does this firmware flash to SM-G930V

?

Thanks, william
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] pritchfest:
All 4 files flashed to my phone fine (did this on a gs-930V). Google play recognizes my device as a 930U now instead of 930V. Everything works fine except...

I cant use my SIM card. When I insert a Verizon SIM I get the following message:

"Service Provider Update

Your device will restart to

configure features supported by

the new SIM card."

I press ok (the only option) and the device reboots into recovery. I selected the option to reboot phone, but after the phone reboots the same message comes up. I've done this 3 times in a row now and the phone still displays the same message.

Anyone else have this issue, or know how to resolve it?

---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

I was able to fix this by reflashing the 4 files, the only difference was that this time I had my SIM card in the phone. The sim works fine now.

Hope this helps anyone with this issue! :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] aromerblz:
Changing IMEI is highly illegal. You can use any SM-G930X logic board on any GS7. The question would be if your carrier will allow the new IMEI on the network. For that you can ask your carrier.

SM-G930A soft Brick

about 8 months ago I tried to root a SM-G930a (ATT s7 flat)

I found https://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/root-s7-att-g930a-g935a-t3410538

Long story short: I have download mode,stock recovery, system wont boot.

when i go into recovery and try to clear system it says error mounting /system

not exactly sure what i did wrong but the problem now is that i cant flash anything in odin i get

SW REV CHECK FAIL : (Aboot)Fused 4> Binary 2

(1)eMMC write fail :aboot

I would think i need a newer firmware than what is on the phone already but im having trouble locating the right one

according to the recovery the phone thinks it is a smg930U

despite my noobish post i have flashed / rooted about 15 samsungs/htc but i havent kept up to date with all the new security so im kind of at a loss where to start troubleshooting
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] aromerblz:
You definately need a newer firmware file. You cannot flash any bootloader less than v4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] True2This:
When you say v4 .... can u be more specific

my next question is where can i get a newer firmware, cant seem to find it anywhere, probably because i dont know exactly which one im looking for

i found what seems like a good sm-g930u firmware that is newer than the one im stuck on, problem is it is not in odin format (BL,AP,CP,CSC) its just a zip.

i could use sdk if theres an option there i have always been able to get to the individual partitions better through a terminal than in windows
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] aromerblz:
The zip you need to extract it and the files are in there.. Regarding a version 4 bootloader, example am currently on G930TUVS4BQC1. Notice the 4 between S & B? Am on version 4 tmobile bootloader and I cannot downgrade to v3,2 etc.. Use SamFirm to donwload the latest SM-G930U firmware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] True2This:
so that answers my next question.. i should stay with the 930U firmware? this is originally a 930A. i am happy with either one honestly for now wifi is ok.

im gonna post a pic because i think i should have been more specific. on the left is the file i found to update the frmware

on the right is what i usually flash in odin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] aromerblz:
Ok, so the file on the left is an incremental recovery flashable zip. You can only flash that via recovery only if you are on the right G930A firmware version. I would say just use the SamFirm to download the G930U firmware, use TMB as the CSC. AT&T does not normally release its firmware files..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DEFCONZebra:
Should I start by flashing the OP's copy or is it outdated at this point? Could I use it then gather OTA updates to get to current? Should I even expect OTA updates? I understand U isn't on Nougat yet, but something more current than what I've got would be nice (phone shipped with G930AUCS4API2, Security updates from September...both an AT&T and Cricket SIM suggest no further updates).

I did look over at SamFirm to possibly grab my own copy but I'm not entirely sure what region I should be picking out of that list. Presumably AT&T, but I thought the point of the U firmware was to separate the phone from the carrier preference. Then again, I could be in the wrong area entirely on that site (can't link it just yet with the new account here).

I must have read through this monster thread at least twice and the other 'G930UUEU4API3' thread half a dozen times (download links look broken at the moment on that one) and I wish I could say I was further along than when I started. I'm probably over complicating matters because this phone is still only a few days old, but I'd rather get G930U on the phone before I jump in with both feet and abandon my old Nexus 5, so I'm looking to avoid a paperweight.

EDIT: Downloaded the OP FW here, held my breath and pressed 'Start' to apply. Got '[aboot] Fused 4 > Binary 2' which some more searching seems to suggest the FW may be too old to flash to my device, so, assuming that's the right assumption, I'll have to keep looking for more recent U firmware to give this another go.

EDIT #2: So my attempts to flash to U went rather poorly; I ended up with a system directory that wouldn't mount and a phone that wouldn't boot past recovery. I ended up flashing G930AUCU4BQA6 on there in the mean time to restore the phone, the ATT Nougat derivative. Not sure if that locks me in where I'm at or if I can still jump ship to G930U; strange that I'm still afforded no OTA updates either, but I suppose not the end of the world. Appreciate any thoughts on all this so I don't continue beating my head against the wall if it's a lost cause.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] True2This:
Update: I found SM-G930U_1_20160921124641_vvcrzx3ej5_fac on samfirm and flashed with odin 3.12.3. cache/system wipe. os boots up nice and smooth no problems. phone offers ota update, itworked fine btw.

only problem is i want to use with Metro PCs, usually i can get any verizon smartphone or tmobile to work no problem, and i think i had this one on metro before i bricked it so i know it can work. my area is massachusetts if that matters for the region.

I would like if i could have it rooted, touch recovery, with full sim unlock, debloated or custom rom, good battery life.

I know i just described more than i might get.. but if i can get this sim unlock to go away and maybe custom recovery i can live with that

im considering using a verizon rom because theyre usually good for any sim card, or a tmobile rom, or a build.prop adjustment which i dont prefer.

this is a sm-g930A , currently on the above mentioned firmware. maybe theres a forum for this already but i dont want to flash another rom until i hear some feedback because i just revived a brick!

Thanks in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] aromerblz:
The ROM does really define if the phone accepts any SIM card. It must be SIM unlocked first. Now regarding root and custom search the forums. There is custom recoveries for the US qualcomm variants.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] whbisondtr:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] True2This:
Update - The new firmware still works, still sim locked.

i tried engboot achieved root, seemed fine but doesnt help because i couldnt find any custom recoveries. so if im not mistaken my only option is going to be a different rom.

so any recommendations on what will work?

im stumped becsase its a 930A but it believes it is a 930U

at this moment im going to try T mobile and verizon roms for the next few hours.

Main goal: sim unlock for metro pcs

Couple questions. One is I just used the otg adapter, with sd card adapter, trying to transfer files to new sd card, and almost immediately the phone got really hot, has anyone else experienced this? Also I noticed, in this process, that my file manager, xplore file manager is opening up the root folder even tho root checker says I don't have root (and I've never rooted this phone). That app doesn't normally open the root folder without having root. Just an observation

Perfect, thank you! Now if we could only find a way to put the original kernel back on the phone after we get root, we'd all be set! I know there's a ton of fixes for the eng-kernel, but man it'd be nice to run the stock kernel with root :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] scott14719:
If there was a way to put the original kernel back on, we wouldn't need the Eng-kernel in the first place. That's the entire point of having to flash the Eng-kernel first because the original kernel won't allow injection of root and cannot be modified to do so.

Confirmed flashable on the G930P. Currently setting up and will report back on Smart Switch restore as it was requested.

edit: Setup and working. Smart Switch restored G930P backup with no issue.

My G930P didn't have much carrier bloat due to me never putting a Sprint sim in it for it to "activate" and install all the ****, but the U already feels smoother

I tried this with the t-mobile s7 flat and it still failed. Guess we have to wait till the bootloader is updated to version 3. If anyone tried with the tmobile varient and is bricked, you have to install the pit file with the stockfirmware to fix it via odin. Without the pit file you'll keep getting an error at system.img.ext4 and it'll say file too large. After flashing with the pit file I was in a recovery bootloop but a simple reflash of the stock firmware without the pit file (must flash the pit file at least once prior) phone booted up like normal. Hopefully this helps anyone who tried flashing and can't fix their phone.

Here's the pit file (T-Mobile s7 flat only!): https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzyeAt2hy6XeR1pTM29ORWhDalk/view

Hey OP, as much as I appreciate you posting this, it does not work on the T-Mobile (G930T) variant.
