Users can still use SamFirm_V0.3.6 to download SM-G930U_G930UUEU2APG9 firmware to flash on our US Verizon S7's. The firmware contains the latest 8/1/16 security patch.

Thanks to zxz0O0 for this program and OP! Thanks to princecomsy for the modded Odin 3.1.2.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] DeathAngel66669:
This one too, just in case!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] FoxyDrew:
Wait I'm confused the firmware version says its for the G930U, but also saying its for VZW? Which is it lol, the G930U or G930V. I know you can flash the U firmware on the V model but I'm just asking to make sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] DeathAngel66669:
There were two identical versions of the "U" firmware. Sorry for the confusion. You can use the program to download the "U" firmware to flash on on our Verizon S7's.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] FoxyDrew:
"This" firmware can be used to flash "said" firmware?

Sorry to make you elaborate it seems simple but I can't quite tell whats going on haha.

I need to download both and flash half from each? Or flash one first then the other?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] DeathAngel66669:
You can download either one. The XAA and VZW firmware are identical. I just flashed the "VZW" one and it made no difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] FoxyDrew:
Oh lol, and it came with VZW bloat and worked with the Verizon specific features and all that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] DeathAngel66669:
I'll let you know once I get through the setup.

Edit:

Added screenshots. The firmware is unbranded, no Verizon bloatware.

Sweet thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] DeathAngel66669:
I found these for the S7 edge:

http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=sm-g935u

Again, either one will work. I hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] FoxyDrew:
Yeah thats the one I downloaded, but when I loaded it into Odin the CSC showed as OYM, and not VZW.

Oh well lol I'll keep this running I don't have it set up yet so I can't speak on battery life or performance (although I'm sure it will be similar to PF2) but as far as my signal goes there are no issues so I'll keep this installed. Thanks for the guide and for helping me out.

Edit: Oh, didn't know the U firmware let you straight up uninstall some of the Samsung crap, not just disable it. Also didn't realize that all the 3rd party bloat was Verizon's doing, not Samsungs I disable all that crap with Package Disabler Pro anyways, but still didn't realize how sh*tty Verizon is lol.

I flashed the new U firmware and man my phone is back to normal. I want to root it but it was so sluggish with the root kernal even with the v15 fixes and all the tweaks I read here. Opening apps were taking 5 seconds, unlocking the phone was taking a few. It literally felt like I was running some crap $50 chinese phone lol. Also my battery was going down 10% every half and hour. Now with the fresh stock install no root no tweaks I've lost 3% in 1h and 33 minutes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Nobiscis:
What exactly are the benefits of doing this? Doesn't the U firmware have an unlocked boot loader, or something along those lines?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ororick:
No unlocked bootloader, just 0 Verizon bloat to bog down the phone, so it tends to run much cleaner.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] DeathAngel66669:
I've only test this with T-Mobile, but with the correct APN settings and a T-Mobile SIM. Everything was working except VoLTE and WiFi Calling. Normal phone calls, texts and internet worked though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Nobiscis:
Okay, so this doesn't slow down my phone if I flash it? If I do, it isn't like the root where It slows my phone to ****, correct? And does it factory reset?

If you flash this, it installs the stock vanilla Marshmallow as intended by Samsung. Best of all, no carrier bloat! Well almost.. You get Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, and a few Samsung apps you can disable with Package Disabler Pro.

Hi

I have a strange issue. I have the samsung s7 verizon version and i downloaded the XAA firmware and updated via odin. Everything went fine and works like expected with zero verizon bloatware.

Problem - Network is not registering. Tried two different sim's . One is a 4g/3g sim and the other is a LTE sim. The phone reads the sim as the apn gets automatically loaded based on the sim correctly. The signal bar shows 4 bars but the phone is not registered with the network.

I loaded all the four files downloaded with the U firmware. I am not sure what i am missing and i have done too much googling at this point to freeze on an issue.

The fone was working fine just till the firmware update. I am thinking of may be downloading to the old verizon firmware to see if that helps, but this issue is strange and i am unable to find what could be the issue.

Can someone guide me where i am missing what?

Tried different network mode, tried searching for automatic network(does not work), and it basically is not registering with anynetwork.

Thanks in advance

Vj

I had this since the beginning on U firmware. Never found a fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jlbizkit1:
So wait, does everyone with a verizon sim get the error Heavenhated described? Does this only work if you're using a different sim?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Illogi.xbone:
I am using a MVNO sim currently. Using VZW network though so should work the same as a VZW sim. I can connect to LTE just fine but shows unknown network and either loses signal or goes to E-HRDP and roaming. WHEN it does connect to a network the only one it shows is Verizon, when LTE ONLY, or 123456. I just went back to 930v firmware and used app package disabler to disable all bloat. Still, wish this was fixed, so I can just go on without it even present.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] DeathAngel66669:
I'm using a Verizon SIM and the only time I show "network disconnected" in about phone is when I'm connected to Wi-Fi. Is the issue related to something completely different? I was not aware the issue even existed. In network settings, I have "LTE/CDMA" selected.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] DeathAngel66669:
I found a fix for the VoLTE(Advanced Calling), WiFi Calling, and VVM problems on the SM-G930U firmware.

Root and install FlashFire per psouza4's guide, then flash the Fix/Debloater script. Reboot, and flash the following file with FlashFire:

I changed another newer sim and it seems to work. I have a feeling having the sim inside may have damaged the sim. I borrowed a friends sim and it worked for both calling and data on the same network. The sim which was working before the FW upgrade has completely stopped working not only in S 7 but also other fones. Going to continue to test and report and waiting for a new sim now to see if that fixed.

1 doubt - whats the PE1 and PE2 firmware. Is is the older firmware for s7?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] DeathAngel66669:
PB1 was the release fw. I forgot about PE1 and PE2. It was 6 months ago. Now they are up to PF2(V) and PG9(U).

Update

The new sim worked. I am able to make calls which is good. But few things conked off. The root is suddenly revoked (i am not connecting these two together now :)) the messaging is not working and i guess thats due to wrong csc or wrong number in the message centre set up. BUt both i cannot change or even access without root now.

Going to flash the boot image and try fixing that. For those where sim is not working can u check if you still have root and try finding if csc or message centre numbers are proper and apn is also set up right.

Also, do u see the tower signal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] HamBone625:
Wow you went to the wrong Verizon I work at a Verizon retailer and we most certainly don't charge for a sim card so somebody was planning to make $20 off you.. sorry to rant but that doesn't help with the Verizon stigma
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] DeathAngel66669:
Didnt realize it was a third party dealer. Verizon core stores don't charge. Got mine at work for free.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] heavenhated:
DId it work after the update? deathangel66669

Mine works for calling and internet. SMS is not working. I am going to talk to the service provider to find if there is something missing on their end for its not the phone issue. I tried my wifes sim and it works.

I simply went back, flashed U firmware, completed all security updates, got the root and simply restored using flash fire. Now phones good and the battery is pretty decent. I used a mix of both the lag fixes and with govtuner and greenify the phone is snappy yet with a day of life in it. More than sufficient for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] DeathAngel66669:
Nah! I had to go back to the original sim that came in the phone. Now everything is fine. Just had to find it, lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jlbizkit1:
Took the plunge and installed the U firmware. First flash triggered dm-verity but 2nd flash took. Totally works great. Voicemail though still looking for a fix without root. I tried Youmail but not liking it a ton and thinking of going back to Google Voice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] vcmstone:
Thanks for this! Got a G930V for dirt cheap and need it to run with my T-Mobile SIM until the Pixel phones come out. Gonna load the G930U FW on it to avoid all of the bloat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ZeoFateX:
I installed 930U on my 930V after previously being rooted. Root was too unstable for me so I decided to go back to stock. Samsung Pay is saying it detected unauthorized modifications to the device. Do I need to go back to the Verizon stock version? I like no bloat on 930U... Knox has not been tripped (supposedly).

Edit: Tried a new account to see if it was an account lock. New account didn't fix anything. Going to try formatting device and cache next. Ultimately I'll try going back to Stock 930V and will report back. =(

Edit: Factory reset did not work.

Edit: Going back to stock Verizon ROM did not work.

This is frustrating, probably more to do with original root than this 930U version though.

Edit: Needed to flashing BL file when unrooting. Not sure if it will work with 930U, but I assume it will since BL isn't touched by it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ororick:
I was in the exact same situation. As long as you flash the bl, Samsung pay works just fine on the u firmware on a 930v.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ZeoFateX:
Awesome. My next question is, can we indefinitely use 930U as soon as new 930U updates come out or are we reliant on someone else to modify files. Will any 930U version work on the 930V? Will it get OTAs, or do we have to install manually for every update? I don't want to have to set everything up again every time there's an update. And, what are the advantages besides a debloated ROM. That's a big enough advantage itself, but are we looking at faster updates or no?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] cmw787:
I wouldn't risk it

Regardless of what this forum is saying that method does not properly flash your 930v. I don't know if you read all the issues that everyone had when they've tried it, myself included, but it gets you stuck in a boot loop and then it leaves your phone in limbo and it leaves you with a constant security Notice that will not go away. And now I'm stuck in this situation I just don't understand why there are so many strings that claimed to root every phone when clearly the Verizon version is still very hard to root if it's even possible all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] recklessbrilliance:
SUCCESS!

Last night, I successfully installed the 930U XAA firmware onto my 930V S7. I did not encounter any issues during install. Just make sure to unzip and install ALL relevant files. It came with 2 CSC files, but I chose the first one that started with CSC for my install. I don't remember was firmware I was on before... Everything works (non-rooted) - LTE, Wireless, bluetooth, calls, texts.

I did though come from a rooted phone.

This might sound obvious, but after flashing make sure to do a factory hard reset by holding down Home + Vol Up + Power, then reset both system and cache.

That usually clears things up.

930V flashed to 930U on version 4 (PI3) still refuses to work with a Verizon (MVNO) sim card. Actually that's not entirely true...when you first boot it (initial), the signal is great then something in the phone degrades the signal as you're configuring it (wifi, Google account, etc) until it doesn't work (circle with the slash through it). Even flashing the 930V radio substituted for the 930U radio doesn't make a difference. Is something missing in the phone itself or is there something buggy with the firmware that's causing it?

There were two other files in one of the "U flashing" threads (forget which one) that managed to get rid of the "no signal" icon.

There's probably some way to fix it but somebody really needs to look into it and I doubt anyone's that dedicated to getting it to work.
