Can u tell me if this works on g930p pc5 firmware
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] bobbinferbears:
I followed the end of the guide for getting the native hotspot running. Installed the x tether module from xposed and modified the two apns with aSQLiteManager. After reboot I lost data on the phone. Any ideas what went screwy or how I can get data back?

I get an error when I try to update the two rows in the telephony db:

Error Code: 1294

(SQLLITE_CANTOPEN_ENOENT)

Caused By: Specified directory or database file does not exist.

(unable to open database file (code 1294))

Any idea on how to resolve this? The hotspot is the whole reason I am rooting the phone.

So I own the SM-G930P with Qualcomm running PVPU4APL6. I try and revert back to PVPU2APE1 through ODIN and it fails everytime. I tried running boot image with PL6 but it doesnt work. I get data but no cellular or texting not to mention its seriously slow and laaggs.

Has anyone come up with a solution for the locked bootloader for the Sprint S7 as of yet? There has to be a way around this...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] The Android Attorney:
unfortunately you cannot downgrade once your'e on PL6. Do not root if you're on anything other than PE1, as data,texting and calling do not work on any other firmware. There is no fix, and with the S8 coming out soon, i don't think there will be.

I'm rooted on G930PVPU4BQAA sprint nougat and it's a lot smoother then marshmallow and I have no issues with it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] The Android Attorney:
How did you root?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] canynballa:
what helped was I disabled these with package disabler pro before flashing the eng boot file:

Chameleon

Security policy updates

SecurityLogAgents

Samsung DM Phone Interface

Samsung DM Service

CMHProvider

com.samsung.dcmservice

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=71287574

I got the eng boot from here

after you disable those packages flash the eng boot file then after it reboots you can run the root.bat to root it. To get things going at first for me I made superuser grant all permissions instead of being prompted so that I could use trickster mod to audit the kernel, which I set to interactive and set on boot. once it has been rebooted and trickster is working you should be able to switch it back permissions to prompt. also once your rooted enable CMHProvider

Important: make sure you use a build prop editor to change the follow :

Set ro.cdma.default_numeric to 310120

Ro.cdma.default_alpha to Sprint

Ro.build.characteristics to Sprint

I couldn't tell you if it did I never use it and from what I heard that the only way you can get it to work is if you set it up before rooting but that was on marshmallow

Help appreciated

Hey guys,

I just bought an unlocked SM-G930P, activated it with ATT and got the APN deal sorted out... The phone came with PJ2 and it is nagging me to upgrade which I keep delaying... hopefully it doesnt do it on its own. I want... no I NEED root or I wont feel like it is my phone. I also want to get away from the sprint rom asap... sprint is the devil. What are my options? The only guide that I can find that looks like it might work for me is this one.

Ok so I have a G930PVPU4BQD2. Can I root this? If not can I put the U version on it? I desperately need hotspot. I use PDA net with USB for my desktop, but it will not stream. I really need WiFi hotspot where I live, out on the sticks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] The Android Attorney:
if you really need a working root, i would go to QC1, as it is working. I flashed the U firmware, 7.0 i am not rooted. I wouldn't try rooting the U yet cause it doesn't seem to work according to a few posts.

---------- Post added at 04:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 AM ----------

Also, i think that trick where you enable Hotspot as soon as you turn on your phone still works. it might say something about a subscription thing at first, but just enable the hotspot again and it should work for a few hours until it shuts off. this method doesn't need root, its just a hit or miss and annoyingly inconvenient.

---------- Post added at 04:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 AM ----------

Let me clarify that when i state QC1, i meant the 930P QC1, not the U version.

Hi all,

So the worst has happened - got a new (used) phone from Boost Mobile, tried this guide, and now I can only boot to the "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency Recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software." screen. Sometimes it does take me to the original "Download mode" screen.

Now, I should be able to resolve this by flashing the original firmware correct? (As in, the firmware that was installed when it came)? ODIN will still let me attempt flashing on this screen, but I still get the same error when I try again, which on the Download mode screen showed "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [system]Fused 4 > Binary 1"

Any advice here? My S6 bricked when somehow OEM unlock enabled itself and I can't get around the FRP lock, I will be VERY annoyed if the same thing happens with a NEW phone. If I can't fix this I am never buying Samsung again. Any advice on this is very welcome! I emailed Boost to ask them which firmware is installed (because I'm an idiot and didn't write it down but have never had flashing go this wrong before).

EDIT: Booting to recovery just shows a blue "RECOVERY BOOTING...." for a second in the corner and gives a recovery bootloop, just keeps flashing that.

PLEASE HELP!

EDIT: Theoretically if I can find the original firmware it was on I should be fine, right? Everywhere I read if flashing goes wrong you just flash the original stock on it. I guess worst case scenario I download gigs upon gigs of firmwares for Sprint 930P over the last year and find the one that sticks? Or is the fact my recovery is bootlooping and I can only go into download mode mean I'm bricked?

Not having a good month of phones here, I appreciate everyone's help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] slvmecha:
Hello all,

To follow up on my last post, I found success restoring to stock via this firmware:

G930PVPU5BQL1_G930PSPT5BQL1_SPR

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329069590

I left my original post just in case anyone messes this up the way I did. I still need root, but now I know how to reset to stock in the event this happens again.

For the record I bought a used Samsung Galaxy S7 off the Boost website.

IF YOU FOLLOW THIS GUIDE, OR ANY, MAKE SURE TO GO INTO "SETTINGS -> ABOUT PHONE" AND MARK DOWN WHAT FIRMWARE THE PHONE IS CURRENTLY ON AS STOCK. THIS WILL SAVE YOU A HEADACHE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHICH FIRMWARE YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD IF THINGS GO WRONG. DO NOT PAY FOR A FIRMWARE DOWNLOAD OR USE FILESHARE SITES, GO HERE: https://simunlockremote.com/galaxy-s-series-firmware/ AND FIND THE VERSION YOU ARE ON AND IT WILL DIRECT YOU TO A FAST GOOGLE DRIVE LINK.

Thanks to all the hard work all the devs have done that have gotten us this far. I still need root soooooooooo if anyone knows how to do that let me know!

CHEERS! I am so happy right now

Hi.... I've been following this thread for months now and I'd like to says thanks for all the hard work, sleepless nights and straight up dedication that everyone has done for awhile now with this stuff. I've been interested in getting root on my boost flashed sprint s7 but am unsure of what's outdated, whats the best way to do it and just straight up confused on the whole procedure. Ive rooted many of my past devices so im familiar with some adb, odin and others but with this phone and its somewhat current firmware ( havent done an update in about two months) im not sure what i can do with root atm. Is it possible yet? Can i flash the u firmware and root that way? Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

What bootloader did you use?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] lvpre:
He used the binary 4 one. Look at the firmware number and go backwards 5 digits. That number will let you know. You can go higher or the same, but you can't go lower.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] Brianmagoon:
Anyone still playing with this phone or no? I just read something in another thread about getting root on the latest firmware by flashing the bootloader file from a F firmware. I wanted to see if thats really the case and we dont have to mess with that cobbled up laggy BL anymore?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] lvpre:
The F firmware? Not sure I would try it. Those models use a different chipset and I believe the bootloader is unlocked or can be unlocked. That firmware is usually associated with the international version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] reaperlinkzz:
Root can be achieved on binary 6 using the same method as binary 4-5 but the lag is still there after rooting. Although I should point out this is on 7.0 not Oreo even though I doubt we have that yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] Brianmagoon:
That was my thought exactly. The guy claims his mom locked her phone and forgot the password. So he bypassed the FRP lock and explained the method he used to do it and F firmware bootloader file was used. I will see if I can find it again and paste it over.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] reaperlinkzz:
How do you know the kings bl he mentioned is from a F firmware, cuz I did flash it and it did flash properly and my phone did boot afterward but I didn't have a frp lock, I was just trying to root so I didn't use the frp unlock part just the BL and then the original root.bat as I mentioned before.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] Brianmagoon:
He said he downloaded the one for P but the download said F. So do you know if it really is F or just the engineering boot? This has me quite curious. Also was you able to get root? He said he did but I never got a reply.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] reaperlinkzz:
Yeah I was able to get root using the boot file from f which is the same one he mentioned honestly I am not sure if it is for f, is there a way to check?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] Brianmagoon:
Absolutely no clue. Is it as laggy as engineered boot method?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] reaperlinkzz:
Yes the lag is still there however the fixes posted worked fine though I had crappy battery life so I had to install the original boot after rooting to get close to stock battery with the root.

I wish there was a way for me to check if it really is for f though, I tried another one that caused a boot loop though restoring was easy.

I am willing to test if someone is willing to try to get the thing working properly so we just need a dev that is good enough with some time on their hands.

I know a guy I may have him look at it.

I tried Battery Status, but it gave me strange results - for example battery drain with full brightness was less then with screen off (tested many times).

Could you recommend any really working application?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mikealder:
Make a dummy battery with contacts that align with those in the phone, and connect this to the phones battery via lengths of wire about 12" long.

Use a current clamp (I use a Fluke i30 for low current measurement) then sample the current ten times a second for one minute and average the results out to derive the current consumption - its not difficult really, and this method is far more accurate than software running on the phone - Mike

Hello guys, can someone explain me if i can use an old rom with the new bootloader ?

If not, did i need to flash the rom with the newbootloader before or after the update of it ?

Thanks you !
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fap4k:
If you upgrade your device to new bootloader you are not be able to boot with old BL ROMs unless you flash old BL(very dangerous can brick your phone) or go back to OOS 2.2.3.

If you are on old BL you need new BL to use new Roms with new BL..BL upgrade is one time process after that you do not need to flash BL again and again.unless you go back to old BL.

I have a different weird problem. I just got the S3 (T-Mo) came from the S2 (T-Mo). I have used the Note5, Note7 and S7 Edge all T-Mo with the S2. I got rid of my personal phone (T-Mo) and started using my work phone (S7 Edge Verizon) when I still had the Gear S2. My calls would sporadically auto answer or not be received at all; going straight to Voicemail. This phenomena never occurred when I had the T-Mo phones, so I am wondering if it has something to do with how the Verizon phones interact with T-Mo phones. This is now happening with my (T-Mo) Gear S3 connected to my Verizon S7 Edge. Is anyone having the same problem? Or anyone NOT having this problem but using a Verizon Galaxy phone with a T-Mo Gear S watch? I'm curious if I just need to tweak a setting I am not familiar with on the Verizon S7 Edge (some menus are different than the T-Mo phone) and the way they forward calls is different, as well and I don't completely understand how it works compared to the T-Mo phones.

1. Download SQLite Editor app from the playstore (it does cost money, and there are probably others that can do it but this worked for me) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.sqleditor&hl=en

2. Open SQLite

3. Tap the tab that says "Files"

4. Navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases

5. Then tap "telephony.db"

6. Then tap "carriers"

7. Look for the 2 lines that say "APN2 LTE internet" and "APN2 EHRPD internet"

8. Down those lines under "type" they both say "default,mms"

We will be changing it to say this

9. Tap on "default,mms" then tap the pencil in the upper right of SQLite. This will enable you to edit this setting.

10. Scroll down until you see the type "default,mms"

11. edit this to say ""default,mms,dun"

12. Tap save

13. Do this for both "APN2 LTE internet" and "APN2 EHRPD internet"

14. Exit SQLite and restart your phone

You can now enable the hotspot as if it were part of your service plan. If you go into to you settings>Hotspot and Tethering

Happy Tethering :o
