Same thing happening to me but i get reboot all the time when i enable wifi tethering on my phone to use wifi to other devices. I really dont want to fresh install since is to much time consuming. All this started happening after recent update. It was rocksolid before.

Just got the october update on the t-mobile variant. No reboot issues, and battery life is a bit better. Thinking about switching to the U firmware to get rid of the carrier and some of the samsung bloatware, but I do like the LTE-A though...However I don't think it has a dramatic impact since I only use it for webpages anyway.

My phone did shutdown when it overheated (I was moving a lot of apps to SD card).

Are OTA updates working properly after flashing the U version?

I am on the same boat here. I am deciding between the G935U or the G935T. Would samsung made an update enabling the 4x4 mimo and 256 qam on the G935U. I came from a Note 7 and I need to decide asap.

This is the best ROM I have experienced on Android yet... Comparable to the smoothness of AOSP. I posted my benchmarks in the other thread discussion on this topic.. With minor modding I was able to obtain stability and solid root. No FC, no crashes, no lockups... Amazing! NEXT TO NO HEAT during the Antutu... Seriously! Battery is noticeably better.

Hello fellas, I just finished reading the entire post and I found no answer to my question:

I ordered on Ebay a S7 edge and they assured me it was an original T-mobile device and the description said T-mobile (unlocked) and the phone model showed as SM-G935T, and I even asked the seller via email if it was an original tmobile device.. they said yes. Now I unpacked and I see they sent me a limited edition Olimpic which is very cool and it has no bloatware from T-mobile or Samsung which is okay by me but the phone model number shows as SM-G935U, so I inmediately thought that this is not the T-mobile model I was expecting. I received this after 8pm so Tmobile stores are closed and I can't put my sim card from my galaxy S5 as it is too big.

I connected the phone to my wifi at home and.. surprise! I get an OTA update notification from... T-Mobile!!! is the U4API3 update, the phone had the security patch dated september 1. so I did the update and at the end it said I did installed T-mobile firmware update successfully... I am confused.. this is a factory unlocked device correct?

1. So how comes the OTA update comes from T-mobile?

2. Once I get a T-mobile sim card on this phone.. .. will it support WiFi Calling like the original Tmo devices??

3. How about LTE band 7 the one with better penetration on buildings?

Can any one enlight me? someone said earlier on this thread they got the olimpic edition and everything works on Tmobile but that was not well explained, did Tmobile put out a limited edition Olimpic? Any help to understand this is very much appreciated. If this unlocked device with the T-mobile update and it gives me the same performance and features like wifi calling LTE - Volte, and fast data and does not interfere with normal features like the texting issues reported I will keep it. If not, I would rather exchange it for the actual G935T device. Thanks for your help.

I can't seem to find an answer to this anywhere, so forgive me if I missed it in this thread or another.

Do you have to have your phone network unlocked to be able to flash other region stock firmware using Odin? I know obviously the bootloader doesn't need to be unlocked, but I mean network wise. As mine is financed and not fully paid off yet, so therefore I can not network unlock mine yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] NayrStrebor:
No you're phone doesn't have to be network unlocked. Some have claimed flashing the U firmware has network unlocked their phone. I don't know how true that is though because my phone was already network unlocked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] spaniolo:
Hello, I ordered On Ebay a S7 edge that supposedly was from T-mobile carrier originally but that was "unlocked", when I receive the phone, to my surprise was the Olimpic Limited edition version which is SM-G935U.

The sim card from my galaxy S5 did not fit so I had to wait till next day to try one however, I initiated a return as I thought only original Tmobile devices would provide wifi calling, but in the meantime I researched the U version and it turns out that this is a specific US unlocked versions that supports every single carrier in the USA and all their frequencies. I connected to internet to see how the browser look like and within a few minutes I got a firmware update notification... from T-mobile! I did the update, it confirmed that the T-mobile update was succesful ( G935UUEU4API3) the security patch it had before the update was from september 1, 2016, I was very intrigued.

The next day once I got my sim card I tested it and on the street in Miami I was getting 40-60 megabites downloads and uploads, when I got home I tested the wifi calling... and it works!!! I am keeping it as this phone came with: No bloatware from any carrier and even the samsung apps are minimal, plus the olimpic theme is beautiful with all the customized icons with the olimpic colors and also the hardware has the olimpic rings and the different buttoms with all the olimpic colors. I cancelled the return to Ebay, I think they sent me this phone version by mistake but I am keeping it as it seems everything works as it should.

I hope this helps.

Update: Volte is working but it does not show the HD calling, No video calling option on the dialer. No advanced messaging features.

You are using the wrong 935u revision that is for bootloader api level 2 you need api lvl 4. You can find the correct fw at Sammobile and in the other U firmware discussions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] spoonsslick:
Wow! Just wow! This firmware is amazing so far. Battery life is super! Signal strength is good. Speedtest was about 55mb down, 25mb up. Only 1 force close so far (google app). Phone has been running 12 hours and I'm at 55℅ battery life. WiFi calling works, supposedly. It has the logo to let me know it's on wifi calling, but didn't really test-test it. Everything else seems fine so far.

I installed Samsung driver, used Odin to flash the 4 files from T-Mobile pi3 g935u (used the csc, not h csc), then flashed the 1 cp file from tmobile g935t pia.

I'll link the files i used to flash when I have spare time and give credit to the OP's for their hard work.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] lunerceli:
As far as your cell signal or GPS? Of its your cell signal, then get an app from the play store called open signal. It will recalibrate your cell antenna to the closest tower and relevant power level. If it is your GPS, then you can get GPS recalibrate from the play store to help lock the GPS to better track. On the down side of things, if you are rooted then that can cause issues with power levels of both cell and GPS. Especially seeing how the current root method involves using a kernel that is designed solely for designing applications and low level processes for better use of the kernel itself. But those two apps should help out though. Hope this helps and good luck.

If you are having problem with signal on the U firmware, I have flashed just the modem of G-935T and I get LTE+ and the signal is better, and I still get to use the U firmware. The only thing is if there is an update to U firmware you have flash the modem of U back to get the update.

Tmobile doesnt have lte + do they? what is lte +, i dont see anything with tmobile having it

Guys, first of all, thanks for the forums, this is great.

I got my hands on a pre-production herald unit and I have a couple of questions. First of all, here is what I see when I soft-reset:

IPL 3.80.001

SPL 3.80.001

GSM 02.69.90

OS 3.80.0.0

It's unbranded and the serial number starts with TY so HTC's e-club doesn't want to accept it ... here are my questions:

1. Can I CID unlock it and use the latest WM6 roms?

2. I put a 6GB microSD card in there and it'll only see 1.7GB. If I use the sdhc.77 cab file, it works for a while, and eventually stops workings (files disapear). I soft reset, and everything comes back to normal for a couple of minutes.

Can someone help me out?
[Wing, P4350 General] oddball1:
Well id HTC e-club does not accept your serial number, is because your herald is branded with a phone provider's rom! I had that problem too.

When you start up your phone, doyou see your phone provider's company name?

That's a giveaway that it is cid locked!

Upgrading to wm6 does not cid UNlock your device! Everyone is waiting for the HARD-SPL to really work.

But untill then, the easiest way to free yourse;f from wm5, is to install touch-it 1.1 and then you have a nice wm6 rom on your herald.
[Wing, P4350 General] mxbrunet:
thanks for the reply. No, it's not branded at all ... like I said, it's preproduction unit.

Is my radio version new enough for me to upgrade? Will the phone still work afterwards?

yes, it is!

Good Day Everyone

I really hope someone can help me please. I am currently attempting to install Xposed Framework on my Samsung Galaxy SM-A700f (Android 5.0.2) Baseband version A700FXXU2BOJ4.

I have flashed a ROM from http://xdaforums.com/samsung-a-series/development/rom-debloated-deknoxed-deodexed-rooted-t3298848. As I understand it, my ROM needs to be Deodexed, and I believe this ROM is.

I then flashed the appropriate Xposed SDK from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811

The problem I am having is that I am experiencing bootloops.

I realise that in the post Rovo89 states that there is currently no support for Samsung stock ROMS, however, I am hoping that someone can help me please.

If someone could point me to a custom ROM, perhaps something like a CyanogenMod that is compatible with my phone, or if someone could give me advice on how to install Xposed on my current ROM, I would highly appreciate it.

My phone is rooted, and I have TWRP installed. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much guys <3

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RLBL:
(originally posted in the flashfire threads, but it was suggested I post here)

My apologies if this has already been covered (I could not find an answer in searching)

I appreciate that it can be dangerous to use flashfire to flash the bootloader partition and that one should use fastboot. My question is:

If I download a FW package and the bootloader has changed, what happens if I flash to the kernel, system, cache, vendor etc... and do not flash to bootloader and radio? Will the flash fail; will the phone soft brick; will nothing happen and I can go merrily along?

The question derives from this: If the phone can become unusable with a mismatched bootload and radio to the rest of the images, it would require to unpack the package and check for a version prior to flashing other partitions (so I assume). If I go that far, would it not be easier to not use flashfire and simply manually flash the required files when updates are available?

Thanks

N6, unlocked and rooted (previously always updating latest patches and rerooting myself (using TWRP), but wishing to try flashire)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
it is really rare that a bootloader flash is required, and a radio update is never required. if you dont flash them, then you just dont flash them, thats all.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
I'd add that going to a major update you'll want to pay close attention. The bootloader probably will need updating. e.g. lollipop to MM, the bootloader had to be updated.

The radio is optional and often with trial and error, you'll find a particular one that for your hardware, in your area, you get the best signal. There is a thread with N6 flashable radios here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3066052.

Had you posted that you had an N6 in your original post, I'd have helped you, because that's what I use ;)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
both mm a lollipop, i never updated my bootloader. i did update it after mm though.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RLBL:
Oh That looks interesting. My Cellular signal sucks even though I am supposedly close to some towers. I am going to try using flashfire with these (hope I don't brick myself lol)

So I assume that when N comes out officially and I need to change bootloaders, I would do so via fasboot, then afterwards I can the the updates via fashfire.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
all the radios, and bootloaders, are available in flashable zip for here on xda as well. to flash via twrp recovery :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RLBL:
Cool... But I only used TWRP to flash the SU binaries to root. Now that I am rooted, I figured I could simply go back to stock recovery* and use flashfire going forward.

* I figured that because I had no other use for for a custom recovery presently, I may as well stay completely stock and rooted. Furthermore, from my understanding (which can be wrong) I no longer need a custom recovery to flash/install anything, as flashfire can do it all. Of course that brings one to ask "why am I rooted if I am staying stock?". I root my device so I can simulate a power button press without cancelling smart lock operations (either through tasker shell keyevent, gravity screen, or nova prime swipe gesture). I like not having to use the buttons on my phone :D
