I'm thinking about following suit. I know they are different devices, but the AT&T S5 finally achieved root after 2.5 years. Kingroot found an exploit, they updated the app and broke their own exploit.

Now, S5 devs are citing the S7 and Prince commey Odin, they have reversed his Odin, made more changes, and are almost able to push full system images. They are in testing stages. If it succeeds, Maybe S7 devs will see if we can get something similar. Then the AT&T firmware would look a lot more desirable, de bloat it, and be stock.

Not getting my hopes up, but I had an S5, and devs gave up on it because it was said to be the most unrootable phone, with the most locked down BL. So, here's to hoping.

Tbh, it's very fast. I've always said the speed gain isn't there with U. It's just the few GB gained back really. My main use was wifi tethering but that's not as important anymore to me. I only disable maybe 4 things. Battery is good a little worse but not abysmal. Wifi calling polls GPS but you can turn it off when not needed. Other than that I enjoy it. Volte ftw

[MENTION=4903942]byte9[/MENTION], did you have any issues going back to stock? Read where one person could not make calls after flashing PI2 firmware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] byte9:
I had 0 issues. I used an older at&t base ROM from October and then it OTA after Odin install and all was good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] peacemaker885:
Sticking with U for now. Tethering is most important for me currently.

For sure. That's why I'm keeping the thread and hosting servers firing. Some people are benefiting greatly with the wifi tethering. I just use USB tethering on A if I need it.

Hi guys! Back in November I flashed the 935u on my AT&T phone with no issues. I ended giving the phone to my wife to replace her S6. Anyways, she cracked her screen and got a replacement through AT&T insurance. Can I flash the 935u again or now restricted due to updated firmware, baseband and builds?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] smknutson:
Can still flash, just need to have the same BL version
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] ted583:
Does this touch the bootloader or the modem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] cstayton:
replacing the others.xml file did not work either i had posted a guide on that file but turns out with the sammy devices (at least this one) that does not enable volte or wifi calling there is likely smali edits that would need to be made to a few files, i haven't looked into that aspect as of yet tho.

P.S. also flashing the AT&T CSC although it should have worked did not, i was stuck in the proverbial boot loop until reflashing the U CSC, after some comparisons between the two CSC packages there are some significant differences between a majority of the included files which is what most likely causes the boot loop.

No flashing the CSC on this device did not work, i went back and tested on an earlier device and it worked fine but i am assuming this device is checking the signature and knows it is different from the firmware signature

I finally installed this ROM last night and loving my phone again. I can't really speak on battery life yet, but my phone feels significantly faster and my fingerprint unlock has been working flawlessly (constantly gave me issues in the past, set up multiple times)...

Thanks so much for hosting the files and making this thread!

ATT branded phone. It does seem like I have less signal bars (understand bar representation means little) and slightly slower speed test results but will play with it more before flashing any other modems.

Edit: immediately updated to APL4 after flashing ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] Ricardo Cheing:
FYI to everyone, I was not receiving the PL4 update because my 935A was on the PI3 firmware but modem was T-Mo's PK1. I loaded the PI3 modem to make the phone back to "stock" and when I checked the updates, it finally started downloading. It appears you need everything to be on PI3 before Samsung lets you OTA.

Can you update using the OTA without messing something up? The update is coming from Samsung not AT&T right?. I am now using an AT&T S7 that is on 935U. And if so can you please tell me if the update is worth it or should I get package disabler pro? Also, will it still be okay to update if i am on the unlimited data plan and want to continue using the hotspot.

How do you disable the OTA update? Which package is it when using Package disabler pro? It keeps popping up on my screen asking to update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] faslane:
That depends on your carrier. If your carrier supported VOLTE and wifi calling before you installed U (like Tmobile does) youll still have them. Some carriers still dont support one of the other but Im not sure which since Ive been with Tmobile but I use wifi calling in my home daily and VOLTE everyday of course too and have settings for both. And one nougat arrives itll be pushe as an OTA like everyone else since U is a samsung firmware and not a rom etc. Not sure if being rooted would help or hinder that but Im,not rooted.....it was just far too unstable. I love my S7 edge on U

..especially with it supporting Tmobile MIMO LTE speeds. Sometimes my LTE is much faster than most hotspots like at a starbucks etc and uploading in LTE is definitely far supperior than wifi so I use LTE instead of wifi to upload but my wifi download is about 200MBPs whereas my LTE varies from about 20-90Mbps depending on where in my city I am but its much faster than it used to be by far. I used to get like 10-15 up and down...LTE

Lol. Its way more than that now. On U,with the latest APK1 modem. And the security patch being Sept. is totally normal for U as well. Im not sure if U will,get nougat sooner or after or about the same time as other carriers will. No idea but Im patient. Id say at the latest a few US networks if not all of the big 4 will have Nougat. Since most of them were in the beta and soak test especially Tmob.

I barely remember last week lol. But yeah sorry lol. I didnt look at the date of that and thought it was more recent. Everyone keeps calling it a rom but its important to know its and official firmware as you know. Other maybe, mabe not. :)

Roms tend to be repackaged with additional features different bootloaders, enhancements etc. An official firmware is untouched and released as it was by the official source but they are close.

That must be a different currency than we use here in the states. But I am definitely ready for Nougat. Someone said that U is on a quarterly update schedule, and that they were hoping we didn't have to wait until April.

From what I read nougat is rolling out to all unlocked devices from samsung in next few days. Beta testers being first in line. No word on those on the carrier firmwares as we know they have to add all their garbage and edit the firmware first.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] smknutson:
Whatever software you're on, will have a baseband version such as G935UUEU4APL4 - the first #4 before APL4 represents your bootloader version. As long as the one you're on and the one you want to flash match that digit, you're good.

I'm on apk1 can I flash the U
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] stew1411:
No. VoLTE only works for T-Mobile users on U, unless you root and activate it yourself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] byte9:
Yes, the newest u firmware is bl v4 like apk1. Cross flash away.

The simple reason volte doesn't work is att doesn't support volte on devices they don't sell you. Once you flash the u firmware its not an att sku and no more att function. Its fixable as we've said via root but our root is so bad I just use other volte like whatsapp or the like.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] byte9:
With the Note 7 recall people were using package disablers to stop the update that only allows the phone to charge to 60%. This was a software solution to a physical problem(fire) so Samsung pulled all the Knox licenses from all package disablers and removed the ability in all of them to stop ota services. I've pondered if maybe some patched old versions are out there of any of the myriad of package disablers. Ultimately though Samsung let them have cart blanche at first and reined them in. Now they can disable all but a few things like ota so in case another recalls needed or such they can push it.

I own a g935a. I saw many posts noting VoLTE but never the term HD Voice. I'm assuming they're both one in the same as defined under AT&T's Enhanced LTE Services option. Am I correct? I dont care about wifi calling personally. I have no problems understanding that this feature, enhanced messaging, and WiFi calling are not available with the unlocked fw.

Has anyone discovered a way without root around that? Being able to bring back those Enhanced features within the unlocked fw?

I am wanting to achieve better battery life with the unlocked fw but don't want to lose the AT&T carrier features.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] smknutson:
Simple answer, no.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] byte9:
An easy way on 935a to increase battery life is turn off wifi calling until you need it. Its constantly polling gps and mercs the battery. When I truly need it, I go into airplane mode and turn it on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] nate0:
I never use wifi calling so I'll look into disabling more related to that. As far as battery usage, what is the difference if I disable all the apps and services that the U fw would not have over installing the U fw?

My battery drain is not awful as I've disabled much already. It could be better I suppose. So the one distinct advantage I see with the unlocked fw is that we would get an earlier jump on the nougat update. Thoughts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] smknutson:
The way they've been updating the U, the A fw has a chance of coming out sooner...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] nugzo:
You'd think this would be updated before the carriers.. Most certainly not the case with this firmware. U has been behind on every update so far. Can't even keep up with security patches. This has surprised everyone. Maybe we'll get official N first, but I wouldn't count on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] byte9:
Currently this is rock solid with good battery life and the need for wanting new for just the sake of new is .. meh. I am on your thought process though, hoping we get a dollup of nougat first. On its own the phone has a software firewall then AT&T has a hardware firewall and realistically i'm mostly on wifi so there is another firewall in place. When i'm being practical about it (for my use case) i'm not in any risk and the phone is stable which i'm good with above all.

1. It is a NON CARRIER ROM so no functions of a carrier are going to be there. That is the purpose of U, Nothing from any carrier is present as i said in OP.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] nugzo:
I agree, it doesn't necessarily need an update just for the sake of having something to flash. Im extremely happy wirh the N beta, absolutely no complmaints. It's just strange that this type of phone would be behind the carrier when it comes to updates. Traditionally the opposite is true. I say they repay us with the first N for making us wait on everything else ;)

The rom version is posted in the title and OP for you to search / research. That said, if you root this thread is not for root discussion in any way. It's dedicated to this rom and people that run it in vanilla configuration.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] byte9:
There is a thread that has it, I can link you later if you need it. My solution to not having them was just to use alternate wifi calling tools for the emergency times like Google voice on wifi or WhatsApp calls on wifi etc.
