WOO HOO! Update: USB cable solved the two, 12 hours days of PIT issues!

and that first boot-up.... with the 'S' instead of that AT&T's logo... ho ho ho

Merry Christmas 00)

where'd all the apps disappear to.... JK, this phone feels 4 lbs lighter. we're celebrating, going to take a hot run into the cold river for a swim.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] jshamlet:
Yeah, once you go unlocked, it's hard to imagine ever going back to AT&T FW. I'm amazed Samsung is okay with what they do these devices.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] JeffDC:
Yes, I was afraid this phone would be stuck in that locked up land forever. I have always had unlocked and rooted.

So with a non AT&T ROM now, I still have not seen folks using the 'standard' SU rooting methods (not the eng BL). I thought once you rid the locked (AT&T) boot loader, the phone was open for standard rooting?

Secondly, if I can not use the standard method of rooting, given that folks do adb commands, etc, can I just push a file I need into the root/data directory (without having root)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] jshamlet:
Nope, because if it were that easy, everyone would just install U FW and root it. That said, there is a lot you can still do with ADB, package disablers, VPN based firewalls, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] JeffDC:
I real my only have one primary need to fly at this time, which is to move my saved game file from my old phone to this new one. It goes into root/data/data. As I've read up on adb today it looks line that would require root to get into that directory.

Other than the engineers BL, root temporarily, I run loose all my data, just to put a single file into data/data, I've got to wonder if it's worth it.

I'm not aware of any other method to get that file into that directory. Any ideas would be appreciated. Or getting a working Titanium on the system? .. root again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] JeffDC:
Now that I have the U version of Nougat, do I root according to the version U, or to the fact that this phone came from ATT and must use the engineers BL, or just run Chainfire su process, or?

Still seems a little unclear.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] jshamlet:
You root all Snapdragon based S7 devices the same way. Yes, this means the engineering kernel. Unfortunately, the bootloader is still locked on these devices, so the standard recovery installation isn't available. On the other hand, the engineering kernel appears to never trip the Knox warranty bit, so it is entirely reversible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] JeffDC:
jshamlet,

Thank you for the information. I'm going to give this phone to a friend and get an S8+ F, so I can mess with it to my hearts desire!

This phone, on the U rom, is very nice.

I have an S7 Edge from AT&T as I work in Canada and the US. I unlocked the phone and use a CDN sim when in Canada and put the AT&T sim back in when in the US. When I try to add a Canadian credit card to Samsung Pay, I can't because it won't let me put in a Canadian Postal Code for my credit card. Only allows a US ZIP code. I believe Samsung Pay sees my phone as a 935A and knows it is for the US.

Does anyone know if the 935U version will allow Samsung Pay to use a Postal Code like the 935-W8 (Canadian version of S7 Edge)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] faslane:
Yeah but not in the settings menus and certain other areas unfortunately. But I do the same thing my icons are at about 60% in Nova as well as having it in settings in the display area like you mentioned but it's the menus in the other places I don't like it's that big. I'm just weird like that I suppose LOL thank you though plus one
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] byte9:
Word. Let me know if you do it. I haven't tested it w adb since we got display settings. I feel like stuff broke at 460 maybe that is fixed since they updated system wide for Scaling. You're not weird. I used to run 380 on slightly lower dpi gs4. [emoji3]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] faslane:
You got it bro I'll let you know, I probably won't try it until tomorrow though I've read in several places that so you can edit the build.prop without having root is just to pull it down and then put it back
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] byte9:
No. Its in system as you know. It doesn't edit the build.prop it just issues an adb dpi command and reboots. Unless something changed in ADB for MM but I don't think so.

adb shell wm density xxx

Even change resolution

adb shell wm size 1080x1920

For batt saving. Same as Nougat do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] faslane:
Ahhhhh that I didn't know.. haven't ever done it that way so assume you just pulled the .ro file down, made edits and pushed it back via adb
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] byte9:
Changing resolution f#$$ed Good lock. So backup GL(if you use) if you want to play w that. :) I'm playing w now. Also it gave me bad dpi errors. Not sure it responds to dpi changes anymore. Looking more
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] faslane:
Yeah I haven't done it in Marshmallow so not sure but you used to just change the 640 to say 600 with a text edit that was in the system.lcd.ro build.prop file (that's not the correct line I know but something like that) and save and reboot and you were done but it required root to edit a system file. So it may be totally different now. Not sure.

I do use good lock. I like it actually and the resolution change isn't important really. Not enough to root for imo. The root is very buggy as it sits now so I unrooted and am staying on U with the T-Mobile APK1 modem and that's it.

I got great speeds too. I was just out and got 35-40Mbit down and 35 up easily where before it was a third of that at least and I'm not near a tower yet even so I'm pretty happy with that for where I live definitely.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] byte9:
It is the same I think as it was. Before we would modify build.prop and could have also done it this way via adb but didn't need to. Now we only have this method without root. Either way, let me know if you get a better result. I got errors. I wanted to run 1080 at a lower dpi for power gain. No success here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] faslane:
The new modem rocks for me and I'm not even near the tower until I go into town for work. Lol. This is definitely about 3.5-4 times faster than I used to get at home.

You flashed this U software through ODIN, then flashed the latest T-Mobile CSC on top of the U firmware? And it works? That's very promising, might have to try this then :D

Yep

http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-s7-edge/help/installed-sm-g935u-sm-g935t-firmware-t3482945/page24

Yep. That's why this thread is. All you do is put all 4 files into their respective slots and flash. Then after setup and restore of my apps I flashed the CP Modem APK1 and it HAULS ASS. no bloat because "U" isn't for any carrier so no carriers have touched it to add their crap, and if on T-Mobile the new modem is MUCH faster. I'm getting 4 times the speed I used to get in LTE using Speed test. Wifi of course doesn't matter that's up to your LAN speeds and your cable plan at home but just no bloat running in the background is a godsend and the new T-Mobile is also. Woot.

No root needed as your not flashing a rom, it's real firmware so no root needed but if you have root you'll of course lose it but can root again but it sucks right now no matter all the post install fixes. Was still getting tins if FCs and slloooooow performance even after tweaking kernel etc and I rooted and setup twice to make sure so I'm not rooting at all. Don't need it personally anyway.

It's awesome. I'll like another thread where peeps are loving it as well. :)... gimme a min

I'm running G935U on my T-Mobile S7 Edge and the new APK1 MODEM and have wifi calling and VOLTE as well and the modem if 4 times faster for me than it was before I flashed the apk1 version. Woot!!

I hear ATT has wifi calling two also but not until they have like 2 or less cell bars then it kicks in but can't validate that. Just read it in XDA.

But yeah. I'm official T-Mobile for a few years now.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] Lightshield:
Has anyone noticed a signal strength difference using 935A firmware as opposed to the 935U firmware?

I got in a used 935A Saturday, and didn't even really use or test it before flashing the Unlocked software. Everything seems to be working ok, except I'm consistently only showing about 1 bar of signal that will sometimes move to 2 or 3 briefly before going back down. I'm curious if it's a software thing or a hardware thing since this was a used phone.

For reference, at home my iPhone 6S Plus usually has 2 to 3 bars. I know that's not directly comparable, but I'm just curious.

T-mobile network lock

I have a USA T-mobile S7 Edge. Although the device is rooted and running U firmware, it is still network locked to T-mobile. I would like to use it on Orange in Europe. I was wondering if booting the device with Orange SIM after flashing U firmware again would unlock it as suggested by byte9 in a reddit thread (/r/GalaxyS7/comments/6swapx/is_it_possible_to_unlock_a_tmobile_s7_edge/). Has anyone tried this method with success? Do you know of any other free methods?

I've always noticed that my Samsung devices get lower signal range than my other ones. For example my Nexus usually had 2-3 whereas my Galaxy S7 Edge has 1-2 @ work. I've had this issue dating back to pre-smart phones going from a Motorola Krzr to a Samsung keyboard style (I forget the name).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] zeropants:
Signal bars are not technically relevant. What you see on the screen is the programmed display the manufacturer sets based on the signal decibel level. Samsung can choose to show 3 bars for same signal the iPhone shows 5 bars for and LG shows 4 bars for. Unless you see the decibel readout from each device you won't know what they are actually getting for reception.

Does your actual usage reliability differ? Or the GUI signal representation. Interesting if usage, the antennas are pretty stellar in this guy.

Thinking on going back to U FW. Currently on 935a November patch. Used 935u in the past but data speeds were insanely slower and I want to see if others have the same issue or at lease other comparions. I see other Odin T-mobile csc and making a difference , but with only T-mobile users. Has any Att users used this method and has,changed anything for them
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] byte9:
There are no bandwidth issues with the 935U PI3 build, it concerns me if you had issues in the past though because there never has been with any of the U builds. I don't know if you're talking about an LTE failure or just lower than what you would like to see in the GUI. In several builds across several carriers though I've not heard of anybody having signal or bandwidth issues. That didn't exist as a 'bug' and if you had it then maybe it was a bad download or a bad flash. The T-Mo you're talking about is 4x4 Mimo which is something that is not deployed by AT&T and would do nothing for you. If your phone is fine now and you're just having a flashers itch then maybe just stick with what you're on. It's not a magical difference, the biggest difference is no forced updates from AT&T pushing partner applications and the ability to remove a few more things. If you're mostly happy then stay with what you're on.

Samsung has said they will release Nougat on the U but has in fact been getting slower security updates which doesn't really bother me for my use cases, i don't install insecure applications from insecure places. Your #1 concern, bandwidth- it's not an issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] marcusva79:
