Yea I felt your frustration. I'm good without root so I'm ok. Hope you get it figured out tho if you decide to go back to the U firmware.

What does a H mean when you make a call it's where the LTE is
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] t12icky0:
Pretty much it's what volte should be stopping. When you have volte(which the U firmware doesn't) when you get a call it doesn't lose lte. Without volte it loses lte coverage and goes down to like 3g in order to take the call over the network.

Just wanted to say thanks to OP. My son tried rooting his s7 edge and got it stuck with bootloop att/samsung logo. I let him fret for several days then took over. Tried several firmware updates off you tube then found this discussion - worked the first time with info from first post. Thanks!!!!

Just some feedback for anyone considering going stock nougat. Multiple times a day my phone becomes a laggy, janky POS since updating to Nougat. This is after clearing cache and going through any of the normal fixes. I've no doubt it's because of some of the apps I run continuously (Parallel Space with multiple FB installations etc) but I didn't have problems with stock marshmallow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] t12icky0:
I can say I don't have this problem. Thank goodness.

Hello,

So I got a new S7E, it updated to 7.0 while still on AT&T firmware. I tried the firmware in the OP, however after Odin successfully completed the install, the phone reboots, goes into "Updating Android" mode, stops at 32% and says Erasing.

After that im stuck in a boot loop. Repeated the process 3 times with the same result.

I was able to flash back the stock ATT 7.0 firmware and the phone is back.

Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] t12icky0:
Try this version of odin. I had the same issue and used this one and it worked.

It's right in the op man.. 7.0 is what I have on my server.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] jshamlet:
Mine has too, to the point I'm beginning to regret buying the thing. I didn't really run it on MM that long because it got the update the same day I bought it. I'm thinking of switching to the unlocked variant just to see if the performance is any better, because right now this thing feels more like a cheap junker than a flagship phone.

I have done a few things suggested here that have helped, but the keyboard is still jerky at times, apps sometimes just hang for a moment, and games actually run better on my old phone, despite it's slower processor. It's almost embarrassing, but it still works fine as a "phone" so I figure it isn't a warranty issue (yet).

I just use Google Voice as my voice mail. Visual voicemail was covered a few times by people wanting it but i don't think any apk or resolution popped up that works. If anybody needs this and finds a solution that works i'll add to OP but for my needs I haven't used carrier vm in a while. Google voice text transcribes which i likey. That or YouMail is a good secondary vmail app, lots of customization.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] stew1411:
I use the vmail app from the play store. It works, but doesn't auto refresh. Sometimes it will show a voicemail in the status bar AND a visual voicemail icon. I hate having everything show up twice. I'm about to give up on visual voicemail. Does the app you mentioned replace the basic voicemail functionality?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] byte9:
YouMail I have not used in a while but it does replace the actual voicemail provider and has a lot of functionality Google Voice as well does the same I prefer Google Voice these days. I was just providing a few options for people to try either or.

Can we still flash this U firmware over att latest PK1?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] marcusva79:
If it's Bootloader 4 then you should be okay. I've been trying to update to the latest patch and my phone is still on September patch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] faslane:
Correct. I am running G the latest APK1 TMOBILE MODEM 4X4 MIMO ONE and get an LTE icon after reboot that wasn't there before. So yes. I just flashed all the 4 files in Odin and then went back and flashed the CSC by itself for apk1

So baseband is APK1 (NMnewest modem) and model is G953U, and build number PI3

Running perfect. Very fast ZERO bloat except one T-Mobile app I can uninstall but want to keep and I think 2 Samsung files you can't delete but before on stock firmware theres like 9 apps you can't delete unless rooted. I didn't root. Too buggy for me. I tried and did all the fixes and tweaks etc and it wasn't good still so I factory reset and got it to this point and it's never been this fast ever and I have about 80 apps total maybe 60 so yeah it's the fastest it's ever been and zero issues and I have VoLTE and wifi calling with the Apk1 T-Mobile modem as well.

Happy as a clam. Gear be, gear s2 etc all work. Everything works in fact.

Is anything for the Att to flash to get wifi calling working on u firmware ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] stew1411:
Not unless you flash root. The only way to get VoLTE and wifi calling without root is to be on the AT&T rom. I've read reports that AT&T users are flashing the t-mobile rom due to having less bloat, and VoLTE works out of the box, but no wifi calling.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] Joe237:
Where I can get the t-mobile firmware and Odin?

I tried the U firmware and rooted but I wasn't able to flash the csc to get the WiFi calling

Thank you

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] sv7007:
I just wanted to say thank you for this! I have my phone through cricket and was forced to go to a best buy's Samsung experience booth to get updates which is a real pain. Now I can get them straight from the source and still get to use Samsung pay and all my favorite goodies!

Side note: I also had to use the alternate Odin to flash with but after that I had no issues and this is running flawlessly!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] byte9:
Hey Joe, please search the forum. There is a process to get the WiFi calling working if you are on AT&T in several other threads, it involves getting an others.xml file from a rooted AT&T phone and placing it in system. That is off topic though for this thread, I state clearly in the OP that it is not for root conversation and further that the things you want are not present. That's simply for the point of keeping the data clear for users that take this for what it is. If you go off that path this thread isn't for that, as stated in OP. Sorry sir.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] byte9:
Fantastic! So you know, the updates have been slower coming from Samsung but at the very least we'll get the N update directly from them and hopefully they pick up on security updates once that happens.

[MENTION=1264662]faslane[/MENTION]

I've read some good things that I can't confirm until we get Nougat. It seems Nougat handles the others.xml / CSC different, some AT&T users got WiFi calling on Nougat non-official AT&T without root. I manage expectations until i see proof but that would be great for me. Not that you will be effected by this since T-Mo handles enhanced LTE services and Wifi calling less nazi like. Wish i got MiMo but i still see 90-95Mbit at night so it's a draw, not like i can complain.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] faslane:
That's awesome!! Yeah T-Mobile has been the best carrier for me ever in my area and this S7 with the U firmware and APK1 MODEM is the fastest it's ever been. Loving it. Not even going to root it. No reason to for me personally. Glad to hear ATT is FINALLY adding wifi calling. This is something that everyone should have. Its 2016 for crying out loud. +1

We've had it a few months. Just they handle it annoying that it only kicks in on 2bars or lower. Also, yeah- the engineering kernel boot is the worst case we could have. Personally I've diverted my hobby energy into solving all things without root and I've done it all(sysyem wide adblocking, samba networking,battery stats). Sometimes need to push an adb command for this or that but otherwise I'm good also.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] faslane:
Awesome still. I need to edit my LCD in build prop to about 580 from 640 and adb it back and I'll be happy. I htmate things huge...but don't want to root just to do that lol.

I am a late to the party noob. I have a g935a on 6.0.1 MM. What is the easiest method to backup all my phone info before i go ahead with this? I can back up photos(sd card/pc) and contacts/calenders(google), but i want to have access to my call/text history after a clean install of the 935u nougat 7.x bloatware free near stock experience. Will the front page info still apply to me... like odin version and the latest 'U' firmware that i want?

My model says G935AUCU4APJ4 if that means anything.

Thanks youuuuuu

edit: ps... is the fp 7.2.1 or 7.1.2? my buddy who works at google told me that those are the versions i want and told me not to bother with any older versions of nougat and to stay on 6.0.1 if not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] byte9:
Samsung has not released 7.1 for any device yet including the Galaxy S8. Very few Android devices besides Nexus, Pixel have it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] Dvoraak:
It sounds like you bought the AT&T model and it immediately updated. The AT&T firmware is notorious for becoming a performance disaster after the 7.0 update. Usually the issue can be fixed by going into the recovery menu and wiping the cache partition. It takes a minute or two to get through the whole process the first time but just let it do it's thing and you'll probably find you like your phone again afterward. My problem with the U firmware (that you originally quoted) is more random and probably linked to apps installed in Parallel Space.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] nikoli707:
so what would be the best way to backup my phone(call/text history etc.) before i flash the firmware?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] t12icky0:
Honestly, smart switch on the pc works great for just backing up phone logs/data, messages, contacts, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] byte9:
Samsung Cloud is probably the easiest.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] jshamlet:
Yeah, I made the mistake of using the Next program instead of just looking for a used device in Swappa like I should have. (I have company discount that ties me to AT&T) I'm trying to decide now if I should suck it up and convert to the unbranded ROM or stick it out on the AT&T ROM. I ran the unbranded US developer edition on my M8 for the same reason - AT&T bloated the bajeezus out of the stock ROM on the M8 as well.

I don't use WiFi calling, but the VoLTE is nice. However, the real kicker is that I *finally* have it setup pretty close to the way I like it - less the fonts (which is only fixable with root now) That said, if the performance of the U Nougat ROM were significantly better, I'd be tempted to restart one more time.

So I picked up 2 brand new 935A's from Walmart today...$200 clearance priced! :D

What is the easiest steps to get to newest 935U firmware. I got the unlock codes as well and was wondering if the 935U firmware opens up any additional bands...band 13 in particular?

Thx for the thread!

Edit...they came with 4APK1 and I am allowing one to take ota Nougat now...I guess I will then flash the file from OP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] byte9:
You can go from any 935 Snapdragon to any 935 Snapdragon rom(same with the 930) the only barrier is if they're a different bootloader but pretty much anything late Marshmallow and after is bootloader 4. So pretty much in short if your phone has a fairly recent firmware flash away. Your only risk is odin flash errors and lost time trying.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] byte9:
The 935u(as linked in my op) has no carrier config so it's a phone fully unlocked to all bands the hardware supports. See the Samsung link I have posted to its product page.

These are Samsung S7 Edge with no contracts. I think most people including myself got the SM-935A version though some got the Verizon version.

I already received and applied the unlock code from ATT. Wife wants to stay with Sprint. Am I correct that I can use the steps in this thread to mod the phone software from G935A to G935U and it will work properly on Sprint network?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] mrpickem:
Totally awesome, I tested with TMobile and Verizon, both times phone said reboot to update carrier setting and it seems to work great...full speed LTE and coverage as good as my Verizon S7 Edge. This is awesome, Thanks!

Yeah, this has been happening for awhile and very hard to find any more. $212 out the door, not even an AT&T customer.

Try this link and put your zip code in http://brickseek.com/walmart-inventory-checker/?sku=106810943

I had to drive like 3 Walmarts away to find them. Also so many people bought them, you can find new ones on swappa for around ~$350 which is still pretty damn cheap. I still owe more than that on my Verizon S7E...l.ol

Now that the unlocked Nougat build is out, how is it comparing to the AT&T Nougat build? I'm getting pretty frustrated with this phone requiring me to clear the cache every few days and restart periodically, and I'm hoping that the unlocked build will be an improvement. However, I've now had the phone long enough that switching is going to be mildly painful.

EDIT:

Oh yeah, it is way smoother than AT&T's variant. Having set up the unlocked ROM, I feel like AT&T nerfed my phone pretty good. Every aspect feels smoother and faster, and there are new options that AT&T hid (like bluetooth tethering?)

Also, backing up apps via adb worked great. I was able to restore my progress in all my games without a hitch. It wasn't quite automated, since the adb command to list all packages has changed since the last time I played with it, but once I got past that, it was pretty easy.

I never had VoLTE, HD calling, or WiFi calling on my old phone so I doubt I miss them now. The only thing I am slightly wistful for is maintaining a proper network connection while on a voice call, but that's not terrible.

I only wish I had switched to unlocked earlier.

Yes, Samsung FINALLY released Nougat for the 935U. It is so much faster/less janky than the 935A Nougat ROM it feels like I upgraded to a whole new phone.

AT&T nerfed the 935A to the point where I was seriously considering fixing the battery in my old phone and switching back. It wasn't quite as bad as my Galaxy S2 Skyrocket running MM, but it wasn't far off either. I was even thinking maybe mine was defective.
