[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Usaf-lt-g:
Thanks, although I'm a bit confused on the steps your outlining here. I assume you're stating that I'll need to somehow modify a ROM (in this case SAC's N7 ROM for S7 Edge Exynos), and inject an IMEI? I'm not entirely sure how to do that to change the IMEI (this would be my first time attempting to do that). Then I would reflash that image, and then re flash the CSC update to AT&T? Maybe I'm not understanding, but my iPhone 6 is on my account and fully capable of wifi calling. In fact we have 2 iPhone 6s on the account. What exactly did you give up on?

Hate to sound like a newb here (although in a way... I am), but can you step me through the process so I can follow your line of thought? Appreciate the help!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Psyscope:
So first of all an Android WiFi Calling and IPhone Android WiFi calling are different you will need to tell at&t you have an AT&T branded Android phone that has WiFi calling. This will lead at&t to add the ability to add wifi calling on your account.

Have you rooted your phone and installed a custom rom? If so then you would flash ttkg84's csc package and choose att. Which will flash most if not all the files. I got all the way to confirm my address and enable wifi calling, but it never worked.

Do not insert another phones imei into your phone, you will brick it and will have a expensive paper weight.

I have given up for now and am waiting for a full release of Nougat.

PM my I can give you am imei to give AT&T to enable video calling, visual voice mail and give the ability to activate WiFi Calling, but it's not likely to work. Some things are still missing.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Psyscope:
You may never get wifi calling working because at&t uses a slightly different method then everyone else. I think they will standardize with Nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Usaf-lt-g:
That's what I thought.... So what about the King of Nougat ROM that's lingering out there currently? I realize Nougat is still beta, but have you tried the beta?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Psyscope:
I haven't tried King of Nougat. I am currently using Nougat? Are you on telegram?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Usaf-lt-g:
So... Interestingly enough. I just got WiFi Calling to work this morning... :eek:

Basically, I did the following steps:

1. No SIM Inserted into Galaxy S7 Exynos - SD Card only

2. Reboot to Recovery

3. Wipe

4. Download and Install SAC23's Full n7 ROM located here: http://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/development/rom-n7-rom-port-romcontrol-t3430358 - I did the V8 Debloated version

5. When prompted - Wipe Dalik

6. Insert SIM Card from AT&T iPhone (ensured WiFi Calling was turned OFF on the iPhone prior to removing from iPhone)

7. Reboot first time into N7 ROM

8. Go through the setup and connect to a WiFi location that you know WiFi calling works at.

9. Download a browser (Chrome or whatever) at a minimum

10. Eat a Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato Sandwich :good:

11. Reboot to Recovery

12. Flash CSC for the N7 located here --> http://xdaforums.com/note-7/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-v1-0-t3450911 - Grab the CSC snapdragon the Exynos zip

13. Reboot

14. Status bar will indicate VoLTE enabled up at top eventually.

15. Try going to the pull down from the top, and clicking WiFi Calling option a couple times.... no dice.

16. Try going to the phone app --> Click Settings --> Note WiFi Calling is off --> Try clicking it on a few times.... you'll get an adroid app stopped working.

17. After sitting on this sceen for a few minutes, note the VoLTE dissapears, and the icons on the phone app screen (The Call Start Button and the Call End button) switch to WiFi magically.... Try making a call with 0 zero cell reception, and indeed, the call is being made through WiFI on AT&T's network.

Now.... I have absolutely zero idea what's going on with the VoLTE icon disappearing.... and the WiFI calling suddenly working. If you reboot the phone, the same thing occurs. It starts in VoLTE.... and then eventually disappears, and eventually after a couple of minutes being connected to a WIFI connection, switches auto-magically to WifFi calling.

I'll take some screenshots.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] aramisathei:
Followed the method above using Superman 1.16 and CSC selector 1.86.

Haven't been able to test wifi calling since I haven't found an area with wifi and no cell reception, but so far everything looks like it's working.

Important to note that the AT&T account probably does need to be provisioned for a G935A rather than G935F, which is done by reporting a G935A IMEI to AT&T (and not changing it on the device itself) as mentioned previously.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Usaf-lt-g:
Hmmm, gotcha.... but if you report a G935A they typically want you to power off and power on the phone to check the provisioning while on the phone with them. And what happens if someone calls in and then tries to re-provision the same IMEI on another account? What happens to my SIM in my G935FD? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] aramisathei:
Far as I can tell they don't check IMEIs against different accounts.

I can't say for sure, but I haven't had an issue as my phone has a different IMEI (or IMEIs--G935FD) than the one listed on my account (which reads as a G935A).

In short, asking AT&T to change the IMEI on the account hasn't affected or changed the IMEIs on my phone, or caused any problems.

As far as provisioning, I told them I was on the phone, so they called me back a few minutes later and didn't report any issues or discrepancies to me.

It'd be just as easy to tell the rep the phone isn't available though, so just ask them to change the IMEI and you can call them back later if there are issues if that's a concern.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mangus99:
Looks like great news. I was happy I was able to activate my 935F via AT&T (I gave them the actual IMEI and they activated it). I'm on Superman ROM and flashed ATT CSC. I get visual voicemail and the WiFi calling button, but it doesn't actually work. I'll see if I can get a valid 935A IMEI and ask them to activate again. Hopefully that will do the trick. I get a horrible signal at home, and the 4G/LTE icon is constantly flickering on and off... AT&T Video call option shows up in settings, but won't turn on... no wifi calling setting in the settings menu, just the quick settings button.

Any guidance appreciated!

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] tonymy01:
I ended up with two Optical Scanners too (smart switch from Note 4 then Smart Switch N7-N7 due to replacement grr).

I thought it may have appeared when I went to Galaxy Apps and spotted some listed in there (updates showed nothing but sometimes it shows me apps with the round like reload image which I think is an update..)

But perhaps I ended up with two versions for the reason you mention? I purged the lower number version of the two when I sorted alphabetically the other day and moved some known Samsung things to Samsung folder and saw the two same app names.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] naruto.ninjakid:
This is why for New devices I rather re-download all my apps and restore the device manually. Automatic backups always seem to carry over issues it seems. Especially when there pulling over data as well.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
Here are my battery stats for my first full day post-rebuild. Hugely impressive and way better than my Note5 and previous Note7. Miraculous compared to the decline I saw with my post-Smart Switch restore on my current Note7.

P.S. - My biggest battery drain isn't the display. I use my phone for business and it's the syncs and background processes that drain the battery fastest.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] GeorgeP:
My first Note 7 initially had very noticeable lag overall, and unbearable lag in the Gallery app. I used Smartswitch, but only for text messages and phone log. Because of the fact that lag in the Gallery, in particular, was so bad, I also suspected that Samsung Backup might be the primary culprit. I have 13 GB of photos and videos and maybe backing all that up was putting drag on performance. I also thought that maybe the restored text messages and phone logs were contributing to the problem as the OS was indexing and linking months of text messages and phone calls to my contact data.

Anyway did factory reset on that first Note 7, did not use Smartswitch, and turned off Samsung Backup before reinserting the micro SD card. The lag was gone. It was still not quite as snappy as my S7 Edge, but pretty close. I then wiped the device cache and after the cache was rebuilt, performance is even better, on par with the S7 edge.

For the replacement Note 7, I did not use Smartswitch at all and left Samsung Backup turned off. I then cleared device cache after setting everything up. The new one is about as snappy as a the first (after the factory reset). But the the new one is slightly smoother (i.e., it seems the animations and transitions are rendered with more consistent frame rates).

As far as battery life is concerned, standby drain is almost exactly the same. Screen on time has been maybe 10% longer with the replacement, but I'm not sure if that is meaningful since that can obviously vary significantly depending on use.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
My second full day's battery results. My Note7 is the most efficient Android phone I've ever used. Keep in mind I'm a productivity user so push syncs and background processes are what chew up my battery more so than display time. My results are comparing me-to-me against my Note5, first Note7 via Smart Switch, and second Note7 with and without Smart Switch. Comparing "you" to anyone but you is futile because no two users configure or use their phones the same way. With such a dramatic before-and-after difference the lesson I've learned is to always rebuild your phone by hand vs. using automated restore solutions. Even though it's a royal pain in the ass.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ars0n:
just curious how your internal wifi transfer speeds are? are you getting 400-700k? or 3-10MB?

Considering going this route, have had weird slow downs, did a smart restore as well..=(

[Galaxy View Android Development] dia:
Has anyone tried it on LTE version yet?
[Galaxy View Android Development] justjayhere:
I don't believe so... I have the Verizon View... but there isn't a firmware available; to revert to, in the event it doesn't work.
[Galaxy View Android Development] Slick Willy:
Verizon LTE

Does not work with Verizon LTE variant, fails in Odin regardless of version used or developer options ticked.
[Galaxy View Android Development] justjayhere:
Thanks for the info
[Galaxy View Android Development] quikmeister:
I just tried on my att version with no luck. It also failed in Odin.

Has anyone tried changing to a different version of the firmware using ODIN and then installing TWRP?

This one looks the most up to date:

Galaxy View LTE	SM-T677	SER	T677XXU1APG1	Android	5.1.1	05.07.2016

It can be downloaded here:

http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-T677

I am guessing you'd have Russian language after switching firmware, but should be able to go back to English once you reboot.

I'd also imagine clearing cache from recovery after the new firmware installs would help aviod a bootloop.

If anyone is daring enough to try this let me know if it works.

I think installing supersu from TWRP after you install it could give root access.
[Galaxy View Android Development] linkhunter:
holy moly we got root now i gonna wait a bit for OTG/MTP I using my USB OTG on my view (WiFi) to watch anime/movies offline 32GB is not enough storage lolz
[Galaxy View Android Development] MajorWinters:
Thanks for your work.

Buuut maybe a stupid question...Anyone an idea why i can not access the download mode by pressing Power+Vol Down to flash twrp with odin?! Everytime Viewstarts normal - Bootloader is unlock in developer settings.

Power+Vol Up stock Recovery starts...?!?

What did I am wrong?!
[Galaxy View Android Development] DoubleR:
I had the same problem, but you can use this little program to enter into downloadmode, just click on the picture on the left side and it will boot into bootmode/odin mode.
[Galaxy View Android Development] MajorWinters:
Thanks [MENTION=285907]DoubleR[/MENTION] for the little Programm!

Now TWRP ist installed and root access too! Thanks a lot [MENTION=4222965]deadman96385[/MENTION]
[Galaxy View Android Development] deadman96385:
I had the same thing but i figured out if you hold power + both volume buttons it will boot into download mode.

Edit: Added that into the install instructions so that won't happen to other people
[Galaxy View Android Development] tauntt:
I did all of the above and I can't get it to work on my wifi SGV. I', in Windows 10 and it just fails after 1 second.

[Galaxy View Android Development] Adilost:
Great, my MacBook Pro does not recognize my Samsung Galaxy View Tablet when connected! :(

I've tried Odin 3.10.7 for windows on my mac (via Wine), not recognizing my Tablet. (even after i've installed the windows samsung usb drivers in wine).

Also tried heimdall/JOdin 3 for mac.. Same problem. NOT recognizing the Tablet.

Obviously i've already have both USB Debugging & OEM Unlock enabled on my Tablet, also tried many different MicroUSB cables..

EDIT: Also installed Android File Transfer on my Mac. When connecting with MicroUSB to my Mac, AFT opens and i do see all the available maps showing of my Galaxy View Tablet, so somehow there is a connection.

However, leaving AFT running on background, and starting up (along with it) Odin/(Heimdall)JOdin still is not resulting to a recognition of my Galaxy View Tablet in both these programs.

Some one has experienced the same thing? If yes, is there a solution my Macbook Pro recognizes my Galaxy View Android device when connected via USB?
[Galaxy View Android Development] inspron:
Is it possible to adapt this to simply ROOT the Galaxy View AT&T variant?

Would love to just settle for root on my AT&T device.
[Galaxy View Android Development] deadman96385:
I doubt the AT&T bootloader allows custom images to be flashed so there would be no way to root it sadly.

boot loop

I can now get into TWRP (I attempted to flash the supersu .zip file) but my view is stuck in a bootloop. the only thing that I tried was a data wipe through TWRP. any thoughts?

EDIT: It was supersu version 2.46 that was causing the bootloop. After I flashed 2.78 on the device through TWRP it is now rooted and running great. Much thanks to the developer(s) on this one!

I have updated op with a new twrp that fixes mtp and otg as well as updates it to the latest twrp version so oreo rom zips can be flashed.
[Galaxy View Android Development] ben95870:
Hi deadman, this maybe a stupid newbie question but do I have to go through the original steps from the first page to install the latest twrp?

Cheers,

Ben.
[Galaxy View Android Development] deadman96385:
Either the way in OP or if you have the original twrp installed you can use the following method:

1. Extract the recovery.img from the downloaded tar

2. Transfer it to your device

3. Boot to the old twrp

4. Click the install button

5. Click the install image button

6. Go the folder where the recovery.img is

7. Select recovery

8. Swipe to flash the image

9. Go to the reboot menu and reboot to recovery

10. You should now have the new recovery
[Galaxy View Android Development] ben95870:
Cheers mate.
[Galaxy View Android Development] ben95870:
Deadman, major problem. Followed your instructions to the letter but when I rebooted into recovery everything froze, no touchscreen, no reaction at all and not even power button will shut off the view. Ideas?

---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

Do i have a total brick here? This is my daily driver....
[Galaxy View Android Development] ben95870:
OK, problem apparently solved. Whilst trying to download important files from the view I figured why not try to get it in download mode? I had tried holding power with volume up or down but not all three together. So I get it in download mode and from there tell it to reboot (volume down) and the tablet reboots in the latest twrp but again frozen, no reaction whatsoever. So I go for a second try but this time when in download mode I tell the system that I want to proceed with download (volume up) and straight away abort (hold power and volume down). The tablet rebooted in TWRP again but this time not frozen so it allowed me to reboot into system and Bob's your uncle, all back to good old normal.

I do not know a lot about this stuff so I tried to describe my process as accurately as possible. Any idea as to what happened deadman?

Cheers,

Ben.
[Galaxy View Android Development] deadman96385:
Thanks for the report I haven't had this happen before but I'll see if I can reproduce it. In general holding volume down and power for a short while will force reboot your device when booted into anything.
[Galaxy View Android Development] ben95870:
It didn't want to in my case, completely frozen, you can imagine my panic when this happened.

All is well now though and looking forward to lineage on my tablet.

Thanks for your efforts mate.....

Ben.
[Galaxy View Android Development] deadman96385:
I have been able to reproduce it now, working on a fix
[Galaxy View Android Development] ben95870:
Hi deadman, any luck with a fix? As you may have read in the lineage thread I also lost OTG with the new twrp, was working fine before with old twrp.
