Does SCL still work for modifying setting?

Yes, works exactly like before (I assume you're referring to Shortcut Master Lite and editing APN for hotspot?).

is this 'dirty' flashable or does pushign it with odin wipe everything anyways? just wondering what levels of titanium backups to run before hand
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Cooljb:
You can "dirty" flash it and it will work. But I had issues with the Samsung Experience stuff that made me go ahead and do a full wipe. So it will work with a dirty flash, but it might be a little glitchy. YMMV.

As long as you use the HOME_CSC file, Odin won't wipe any of your data. If you use the CSC_OYM file it WILL do a full wipe/reset.

As to backups, you should always do a full backup before flashing anything. ;) Especially a major update like this. Having said that, I didn't lose anything after dirty flashing it the first time.

Good luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] hikouka71:
yeah i was seeing where others had to do a wipe post install, but i was thinking do diryt flash, back up my apps/data then on the new kernel, then wipe and restore from the tibu
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] hikouka71:
with a dirty flash do i need to go thru the original steps from the OP again or is it just the odin flash and 'good' (other than the probably wipe, etc)?

oh wait, i'm rooted, this seems to not be the thread i thought it was?

yup, apparently i thought i was in this thread, so i'm going to hold off till i can find out if flashing this will screw up my root or anything else
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Tkanahele:
which version and region am I supposed to select?

Anyone willing to fill in these blanks for me? in about phone, software version says G930PVPU6CRE7, hardware version says REV0.6. I am planning on using this phone on the verizon network and just want to remove the sprint specific bloat and the dumb hands free pop up i keep getting and make my data not constantly be in "roaming". "Instrumentaly" started helping me and due to unfortunate circumstances, we were unable to finish. Originally I wanted to flash verizon firmware and was told that there isnt a version 6 for verizon I guess?... which iis fine, i just want the sprint crap gone and to get rid of the pop up for hands free and keep my data out of "roaming"

I am in the same boat as Tkanahele. I have a Sprint version that update itself to the latest version and I am trying to move this to Verizon. What version of the firmware should I use to update it using odin?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] tahasmarty:
You can't update it to verizon because of bootloader versions right now you can only change to T-Mobile firmware its also on V8 now.. or wait a lil bit U firmware also coming with v8 after that may be you get bootloader version 8 on verizon too..

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] kpl388:
I'm a little curious about this too. What are the different carrier versions of the 930U firmware? If I want to use this phone on T-mobile's network, should I wait for the TMB version of 930U firmware to be released?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] lvpre:
it contains the correct csc codes for all us carriers. the u firmware does not support wifi calling. if you want to use it on tmobile, you can flash this version or the offical tmobile firmware and get extras like wifi calling and volte.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] kpl388:
Hmmm... according to this , the 930U firmware supports VoLTE and Wifi calling. Is that incorrect?

Also, is there no difference between the different carrier versions of the 930U firmware listed on sammobile? Or, are you saying that the version you posted is mult-csc and supports all US carriers?

Thanks for any info you can provide!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] jm23ab:
Is the firmware available on a faster site than sammobile?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] lvpre:
It is multi csc... I've attached an image of the carriers supported of your phone is carrier unlocked. It supports Wifi Calling on Sprint. Not sure about VoLTE since sprint doesn't support it.

Check the first post. I uploaded it to Google drive.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] lvpre:
Supports Wifi Calling on Sprint. Can't test VoLTE since sprint doesn't support it yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Cooljb:
It's all good

I can also confirm this is multi-csc. I just loaded it to my Sprint S7 (SM-G930P) and everything is just like it was before (except for new firmware version!). Just use the HOME_CSC file when you flash in Odin and everything will be fine. I always wondered why Samsung released carrier versions of "Unlocked" firmware. Unlocked is unlocked. It's not carrier specific. I never had the nerve to try flashing any of the other carrier versions of the "U" firmware, until now. It's all good. Also, security patch level is October 1, 2018. And hotspot/Shortcut Master APN editing still works as before.

This should really be a boon to all the people with Sprint phone models stuck on higher bootloader versions of carrier firmware. Now you can finally get some unlocked goodness! :cool:

Enjoy!

I get unsupported dev type with that Google Drive firmware

Update 1: Am I doing something wrong? I assigned all the files in odin and put my phone in download mode.

Update 2: My issue was the CSC file after using the home file it boots up but I still see a sprint logo. Is that normal?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] lvpre:
Did you download the odin version with it too? Oreo requires an updated patched version of Odin

Are you guys getting 4g lte on other networks? Reason I ask is I'm on Sprint Firmware at the moment and can't get 4g on International networks.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] lvpre:
Your issue could be because international LTE bands may not be activated. There's a link on the first page about unlocking international bands for use on the U firmware. That should solve your problem. The OP of that thread is pretty responsive if you want to check in there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] jm23ab:
When I first did the flash it was showing the LTE with a Verizon sim card and now after a few days it's always showing roaming. Is there anything that needs to be done to get this working better on Verizon?

Does this work on U8 bootloader????
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] lvpre:
Strange... Especially when it was first released by Verizon. Working great on Sprint. I don't have Verizon, but maybe check the Verizon thread for similar issues

You mean the b8 bootloader? Yes. It will install and update the bootloader to b8. This update mostly benefits Sprint phones that updated Sprint firmware previously.

I can confirm that WiFi calling works on the T-mobile network (using the MVNO Ting). The VoLTE switch is present and, as far as I can tell, appears to be working (phone does not drop to 2G or 3G when placing a call).

---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

When installing this on my SM-G930P, using the HOME_CSC file resulted in a boot loop. When I re-flashed using the CSC file, everything installed properly. It's really nice to finally be able to install the 930U firmware - it's working great on T-mobile!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] genescuff:
I had the same issue using the HOME_CSC file on my SM-930P. After the first flash it rebooted into recovery and displayed the dm-verity failure error. If I tried to just reboot the phone, it would go into a bootloop.

When I flashed the regular CSC file, it worked perfectly. I'm on T-Mobile as well and everything is working: Wi-Fi calling, VoLTE, and Hotspot. Prior to this, I had to manually toggle Airplane Mode every time I restarted the phone just so that the data would work. Now I just need to swap the battery since it barely lasts over half a day anymore.

V8 gets you a locked boot loader

Do you know have 930 4crg2. This V8 looks PERMANENTLY the boot loader
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] nomad247:
V8 Bootloader LOCKED BOOTLAODER, NO MORE MODDING

THIS VERSION WILL LOCK YOUR BOOT LOADER AND IT BE UNDONE, I KNOWN FOR SURE WITH VERIZON. i HAVE THE VERSION RIGHT BEFORE THIS, IT HAS DISABLED MY CALL BLOCKER, (PAID APP). I HAVE THE S7 AND S7 EDGE. S7 HAS UPDATED TO 4crg3, CALL BLOCKER WORKS, WENT TO CHECK WHAT VERSION THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS CALLING FOR, ACCIDENTALLY LEFT WIFI ON AND IT STARTED TO DOWNLOAD THE NEXT VERSION., SO I AM WIPING THIS PHONE, AND INSTALLING 4CRG2. THE EDGE HAS 4CRG4, AND THE CAL;L BLOCKER IS DISABLED. THIS IS THE NEW GOOGLE PLAY PROTECT SERVICE. THIS BLOCKS ALL APPS INSTALLED THAT ARE NOT FROM PLAY STORE, ANY APP IN PLAY STORE THEY PULL AND THE V8 VERSION BLOCKS COMPLETELY AND FOREVER, BEING ABLE TO M,OD YOUR SAMSUNG DEVICE.

i AM GOING TO ROOT MY PHONES SO i CAN PREVENT V8 FROM EVER GETTING MY PHONE.

I am not the custom rom fan and i dont use any of those apps you mentioned so i am not worrying abt anything i just want a clean G930U firmware on my G930P and now i have no bloatware, hotspot working thats fine for me :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] lvpre:
Yeah, I think I put in the OP about if you have b4, don't upgrade. I have several apps not on the play store installed on my phone. I just had to hit allow unknown sources like every other version on Android.

This is basically for people who got stuck with the Sprint update and want the U firmware. I've been running for a while and haven't had any issues.

Sorry you had a bad experience. You won't be able to downgrade if you have taken the b8 firmware though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Griffindog:
Works for ATT

Long story short from a noob to other newbs:

I bought my Sprint S7 G930P from craigslist as an "unlocked" phone. When I inserted the ATT sim card, I could make calls and text, but had no data connection. I immediately panicked and was sure he had ripped me off. The attendants at the ATT store had no suggestions, they just said "this happens all the time". I went home and search and searched. I quickly discovered the APN Location Connection settings on the ATT website. Once I entered the settings data was working and I had LTE service! Yeah! I was happy with it working, but I was continually getting the "Samsung/Sprint Hands Free Activation" app trying and Failing (very annoying). I also noticed a Username.sprint info in the Software information tab and all the browser home pages went to sprint.

In my search I learned about flashing firmware and that G930U was the way to go. But I did not know about the Binary number, yet. After soft bricking the phone into a boot lop, and receiving the "DM Verity" check FAIL error, I learned about Binary Numbers for the boot loader. My stock firmware was already updated to G930PVPS8CRK1, which I had fortunately written down. SO I was able to flash that back to the phone to get it working in the previous state. I found it on updato.com.

I had also previously tried to flash this exact same file (as the op), that I downloaded from updato, during the time my phone was bricked and it did not work. And if you search G930A for the ATT model, nothing comes up on updato. So I switched to sammobile.com and found a download for the G930A model that has the binary 8 bootloader. The one I found amazingly contains all the same .tar files as the one posted above. This time the flash went smoothly and took less than 15 minutes, except for all the updates. Now my formerly G930P is a G930U and has the Baseband version G930UUEU8CRJ2. The number 8 is the key because as most of you know you cannot go down/downgrade on the B #s. is it a slow download with a free account. I am too new to insert links.

Now I am sooooo happy that the stupid Hands Free garbage app is gone, and all the Home pages in the browser are now Google. Also, I did not have to mess with APN connection settings for the data to connect to LTE. Oh, and no ATT bloatware, so win, win, win.

So if you are new to this, it is worth a try because there are a lot of carrier unlocked phones for pretty cheap out there. If you are getting the DM verity Fail error it is probably because you are flashing an older B# boot loader. There are lots of tutorials out there.

----------------Good Luck-------------------:D

Does volte or wifi calling work? Just curious if it does on at&t
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Griffindog:
No , it does not work with G930U firmware. Att is not "registering" the IME. I can tell because my account page does not have the device info; is greyed out. I think the IME still identifies the phone as a sprint phone because I messed with the Mobile Hotspot toggle and it calls my device G930P.

I read all the info about the volte and wifi calling services and tutorials, and in small print it says unlocked phones from other carriers are not supported. I searched a lot to try and find where the settings would be if they did work, and they are not there. Android Central -how-enable-advanced-calling-features-galaxy-s7, shows the steps for main carriers. The Enhanced LTE Services toggle should be under Mobile Data in Settings, but it's not. The WiFi calling toggle should be under Connections, but it's not. A couple threads on XDA have attempts at messing with System files on rooted firmware but no confirmed success that I can find.

I have not tried flashing the official ATT firmware yet because I did not want bloat and because I did not think there was a new enough version to support Binary 8. I noticed on ATT S7 firmware history the #8 does exist. So a little searching and I found G930AUCS8CRJ2 in a thread on XDA that a member is hosting from a Google drive. It was released Oct 18, 2018. https://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/g930a-oreo-8-0-stock-att-odin-files-t3869871

The newer on is G930AUCS8CRK1 and was released Nov 30, 2018.

I found a link on Reddit to a host called http://www.gsm2file.com/index.php?f...ATT8CRK1 USA ATT Android 8.0.0 4File Firmware

But it still might not work if ATT will not register the IME #. If Itry it I'll let you know and likewise.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] lvpre:
Thanks. I'm porting this afternoon, so I'll give it a try too. Thanks for the links and info. Definitely report back if you give it a go.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Griffindog:
I ended up installing the ATT firmware G930AUCS8CRJ2 because I thought my LTE connection was weak after installing G930U. I was only getting one or two bars and even reverting to H+. Now I get two to four bars LTE all the time. I do not know why other than some have said the carrier specific CP file (radio) is better. Now I get all the volte and WiFi calling settings. The WiFi calling turns on but I have not really tested it yet. The volte requires connecting to another ATT post-paid customer to work.

In the meantime I called ATT about the poor reception and to see what they said about registering my IMEI number. According to ATT the IMEI number refers to a 2g capable phone. So I checked the number at a few sites and it comes up as a Samsung J5, but clean. I ran a Phone Info app to run a refurbishment check. It comes up as Genuine, but the serial number is all zeros. So I think the phone is real, but somebody wrote in a different IMEI number. Everything works fine though, so not sure what to do now>... just use it I guess
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] lvpre:
Do you have an att branded phone? I flashed the cricket firmware to my s7 and have them the IMEI to a cricket branded phone and my volte and wifi calling works. Since cricket is owned by att, this may work for you too. When you *#06# in the dialer does it show the Samsung j5 IMEI number? Let me know if you have a legit att phone and I'll share with you the steps that worked for me. The cricket firmware has a little, but it all can be installed.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] rhizomorph:
This doesn't work. The VM app installs just fine, but for some reason it's unable to set itself up correctly with Sprint (returns an error after "Verifying your account information...").

This is just 1 of 3 issues I've encountered with 930U. A similar (possibly related) problem exists with Sprint Zone - you can install it ok, but any attempts to login are met with an error. And then there's the loss of FM radio (which worked fine before flashing 930U). Ultimately, these all appear to be software-related problems, but without root it makes it difficult to troubleshoot and find a solution.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] lvpre:

Yeah, Sprint Zone you are out of luck. You an install it, but the functionality just isn't there. You can also use the web browser to visit m.sprint.com for most of the same things.

As for the FM Radio...interesting....didn't know this. Have never used my headphones for the radio, but no I'm curious.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] rhizomorph:
Unfortunately, same error with that one as well. I don't think the apk is the problem, I think it has to do with some of the fields in the build.prop which, without rooting, we cannot change :/
