Talk about waiting forever...... The S7 is still waiting
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Cooljb:
Yeah I'm kinda surprised it's not out yet for the regular S7. It's literally the EXACT same hardware as the edge, except for the screen, so I can't imagine what the hold up is. It is coming though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] POWerSUrgeSW3:
I noticed over the weekend that QC1 Nougat came out recently for the 930P. So hopefully soon its counterpart for the 930U will be out.

Personal I think it's all a game anymore between us and the manufacturers out there. The S7 had been one of the weird editions of the phone, with a range of variant OS update releases.

But trust me we are all waiting I think, and maybe it's delayed because there are so many of us using it to dodge bloatware and the horrid root issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] eze30000:
I have a s7 with 930U firmware. I am almost desesperate about having nougat.. so I am thinking to install 930P firmaware (sprint)...

Have any of you got that firmware installed? Is it working good? I know that sprint firmware has some limitation (such as hotspot for sharing internet).

What do you recommend?

Should I install all the files of the firmware, only AP.. keep CSC_home?

thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] :
You can't just flash AP and not flash the rest of the firmware. If you want to keep your apps use home_csc. If you care about xposed stay on universal, but rooted nougat QC1 has great performance and you can hack hotspot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] skunkenstein:
Its up. Who's going to be the first Guinea pig and try this out. Don't want to lose hotspot hack.

Running nougat on my SM-G930U sprint right now. I managed to root it as well, guide going up ASAP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Cooljb:
You won't lose your hotspot hack. I'm running this on the S7 edge and you can still edit the APN with Shortcut Master Lite. I was going to predict that this would come out today since the edge version came out last monday, but I didn't want to go out on a limb and be wrong! :p I'm glad it's finally here for the regular S7. Don't sweat the update, it's all good. As I said I'm running it on my S7 edge and it's smooth as silk, and I still have hotspot.

Does anyone know the differences between the 930U nougat firmwares on sammobile? Is the Sprint version different than the t-mobile one? I have a 930P running the most recent Sprint OTA but I'm using a t-mobile service provider. I feel like I read somewhere that it didn't matter. I appreciate any insight. Thanks!

checking device status sprint omadm

Just flashed this firmware through odin and I'm getting checking device status sprint omadm message and it won't go away. Any one know what do to do about this. It's super annoying. Other than that I'm loving the firmware.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] UPdownLoAD:
Go to dialpad and type ##72786#

Choose yes to reset (don't worry, no personal info is lost). Phone will reboot 1-3 times and refresh itself on the network. You 100% will have to redo the hotspot APN hack.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] cjrivera04:
I get a invalid mmi code when I enter the code into the dialpad. Before upgrading I was actually on Marshmallow and went straight to the U firmware. I was connected to the network before without any problems. Went on Sammobile and followed instructions for upgrading to the u firmware and it worked like a charm. I get lte and can make phone calls. My reception doesn't seem as strong as it once was but everything works. I just get that pop up and it won't go. Does anyone think I did anything wrong? Thanks for your help by the way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] UPdownLoAD:

You would only lose the hotspot hack with a profile update... that's why it held through the ota

I can't figure out which firmware i need to download, the one with product code usc or product code tmk. does anyone know the difference?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] djschny:
Worked great here to on update to 7.0 Thank you to all how verified their results. FYI - my experience was that it auto updated my profile afterwards so had to re-add ",dun" but no big deal.

I would like to give the S8 a go but have seen there does not appear to be the same variance of versions we saw here. So all phones are a 950U model. Has anyone tried to see if the ",dun" trick with Shortcut master works on the S8 or have a link to a forum discussing about it already?

sprint s7 edge that was unlocked

I have a sprint gs7 edge that was supposedly unlocked. I put my att sim in it and it required me to change the APN info. what I noticed other than the annoying sprint screens, is it never shows the 4g lte icon, and also wont send mms when connected to wifi. should flashing the U firmware rectify these issues? its a SM-G935P, with software version G935PVPU4BQD2 on android version 7.0. I downloaded odin and all the files from the google drive downloader to do it, but im not sure this fixes what im asking for.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] FivePiece:
Do you have the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930P)? If so, it appears you should use neither of those files, but rather the Sprint version of the 930U firmware: SM-G930U SPR Spint (cdma) - G930UUEU4BQD2

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930U/SPR/download/G930UUEU4BQD2/130774/

I have not done so yet so I cannot 100% confirm, but I've been reading this thread in preparation and that's what I've found.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] user8932679:
Yes that's what I ended up doing. But I started with an older android 6.0 image so it took 2 more upgrade cycles to get me up to date :/

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] retepnart:
So I finally took the plunge and flashed to nougat 930u. I had to flash it twice before it worked. I was on stock pc5. The initial flash I didn't extract odin and ran the exe file from winrar and did not tick off the re-partition box. My phone was stuck in download mode and odin said failed. I was freaking out especially when I restarted the phone and it gave me some error message. So at this point I felt like I had a dead phone so decided to flash again. The second time I extracted odin, ticked re-partition and switched to a different usb port. I was thinking maybe I had a bad download from sammobile even though I had it hard wired. I was going to download it again if the flash didn't work but thankfully it took!

Now it's been almost a week and can't be any happier! Hotspot works, wifi calling works and got rid of bloat and runs so much smoother. Only caveat as others have mentioned is no voicemail. So I signed up for google voice but it's not playing nice. Not sure what I'm doing wrong... So I have a few questions if any of you awesome folks can help out:

1. Is there some special trick that I need to do on google voice? I just signed up 2 days ago.

2. Do I need to flash again with the re-partition un-ticked? Did some googling on the topic and still confused

3. Where did the uicc unlock go? I no longer see it under system update

TIA! You guys rock!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] FivePiece:
I see that everyone reports "No voicemail" after flashing to 930U. Does that just mean that the app doesn't work (which triggers the error notifications), or that you can't even access your voicemail by dialing your own phone number, pressing *, and entering your voicemail pin? Theoretically, the latter should work from any phone, so I'd guess that still works but I'd like to confirm.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] VandyCWG:
You can still dial your phone number and enter a pin to get voicemail .

I use Google Voice personally, and it works fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] onelovekir:
To answer your first question, yes, there was a special trick I had to do to get it to work for me, and that is to go to the regular desktop website (not mobile) of Google voice and there was a link to go to the "legacy" website which had a couple extra steps which included having to dial a special code that it gives you to register your Sprint number with Google voice. Sorry I'm on the road or else I'd be able to give you more specific instructions. Good luck with your other questions!

Been locked out thanks to Google 2FA

Hello, I have been tinkering around with my Sprint S7 to the point where I had done something that prevented me from using the phone regularly. I have since then done a factory reset via the recovery menu but I am unabke to get past FRP as my Google account uses 2 Factor Authentication but the set up screen won't allow any calls for the code to come through. Will flashing this firmware be able to bypass this security measure?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] VandyCWG:
Why not disable your 2-factor authentication in order to get past it. Then go and reanable afterwards.

I'm not sure anything gets past the FRP. It's there for a reason.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] srohang1:
Has anyone figured out how to get rid of the voicemail notification permanently?? I tried GV, but the notification was still there. I prefer the you mail app over GV. I chatted with Sprint and told them to disable visual voicemail completely, and the person said they did. This did not permanently remove the notification. Any ideas?? My work building has sparse cell signal, so my phone notifies me all day with the false voicemail notification. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] FivePiece:
Did you try the steps found in the "Voicemail Issue" section of the OP?

I did try them, but still cannot get those notifications to go away. Does it work for you or others? Maybe I am doing something wrong??

Does this actually unlock the phone? I have a boost mobile version s7 will this work for it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] infamous23:
I have a question. I build computers and work with windows operating systems but haven't really dabbed in the phone area yet. 3 years ago i rooted my galaxy s3 and it died a year later and still wont boot to this day. but anyway if i bought a galaxy s7 930p "P" version, sprint, and flash it to the the "U" version does that open up all GSM and LTE bands like the U version does? Or am i still stuck with sprints limited gsm and lte network bands. I'm asking because i'm a At&t customer. and or can i flash the "p" version to the "a"version to open up those gsm and lte bands?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Rushstrike:
It will open up all the bands. I have done this on a sprint s7 to use on AT&T
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] infamous23:
So Rushstrike before you flashed the spring s7 930p to the 'U" version you were NOT getting all the GSM and LTE bands when it was the 930p? so you flashed it to the 930u and it opened up all the GSM and LTE bands that was not opened when using 930P unlocked mode?

like i know the 930p version, even unlocked but still just the unlocked 930p version that it does not have all the GSM and LTE bands.

dont know what to do i can get the 930u for $330 and the 930a (att) for $270 and i can get the 930p for $235.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Rushstrike:
I did not bother checking what att band the original.firmware supports and just assumed it didn't. I flashed the U firmware asap as soon as I got the phone. PM me where you are getting these deals :) I'd like to buy one for a friend at those prices

This worked wonderfully for me as well. Thanks a ton! Any idea if this method would work with the new Sprint firmware versions or is that all locked down? Only thing I wish this Samsung firmware had is Wifi-Calling still enabled. I found the settings apps using Shortcut Master and tried enabling it but it just doesn't want to enable. Guessing Sprint had some other things installed to make that all work.

Guys newb question,

Have a sprint SM-G930P, that is unlocked and ive been using it on ATT

Software Version : G30PVPS2APG1

It was either last week or the week before last, a

software update

Am I OK to flash the U firmware from (http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/xda-community-love-g930u-t3415875)

Will I have that APN greyed out issue? Should I factory reset the phone before I flash, and do i leave the SIMcard in as I do the whole process?

Thanks so much.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] shooterlgk:
Yes
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] .dan:
the only issue that i am aware of, for flashing the U firmware, is the inability to flash to phones that already have a higher revision bootloader. I only know of T-mobile firmware having a higher revision bootloader than the U firmware to date. I am not sure about the latest Sprint firmware that you have.

for conservative sake, i'd

1. check your current bootloader version and verify it's same as the U firmware. (i think its 2.xx, don't quote me). if bootloader is same or older than the U, continue.

2. backup phone with samsung software

3. remove sim card

4. factory reset

5. flash U firmware

6. boot up and set up phone with essentials

7. insert sim card and let the phone install carrier specific things such as APN.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] FivePiece:
I assume you're on 930U firmware?

If I were in your situation, I'd likely just do a factory reset and see if that fixes the problem. If you don't want to go that route you could install Better Battery Stats (using the info in post 4 if you're not rooted) and investigate further.

Downgrade To PC5 from QE2 - HELP!!! Please!!!

Hey -

So I was upgrading my S7 to the G930U from G930P and I completely forgot that the WiFi Hotspot Hack took place before the upgrade and now I need to downgrade because the APN Settings are OTA Wholesale + Global Roaming Only - I tried to add (which I can) new APN Settings but when I tried to change the values to match my current S7 - If I MNC is changed to anything other than 000 it won't save.

When this thread 1st started last year there was a STOCK_DOWNGRADE_G930P_PC5.tar.rar file that I saved before I graded to the G930U software which only had a .tar.md5 file - It didn't have the AP + BL + CP + CSC files

After not knowing what to do and reading more on the forum(s) I downloaded all the files I think I need to downgrade but now I need some help ... Please.

I see the PIT Mapping Error Fix says that I should only add AP + (Not BL ?!) CP + CSC (Home or Normal CSC File) - Do I even need to do this, looks like it may be just to upgrade but I saw "PIT Mapping on the code a couple lines up before the FAIL ?!

I tried to just flash the PC5 content and it failed - I'm currently on 7.0 (QE2)

Thanks for any help.

I have:

Odin 3 v3.12.7 + All The Samsung Drivers Needed

PC5 + PE1 = All Files (AP + BL + CP + CSC + HOME CSC)
