The only difference in your links is one is a later build than the other one. Either one should work fine but if I had my choice, I might pick the first update and then use OTA to get to present. NOTE: I had to restore my September 1 backup with TWRP as the December 1 security patch broke my Bluetooth and I use Bluetooth all the time, it is too important to me to lose over a stupid security patch. I have since frozen the updater to avoid being nagged to death install the December 1 update again. When the next "real" OTA comes along, I will thaw the updater so I can take it and *hope* that the Bluetooth issue is solved. I will of course *always* make a TWRP backup prior to doing *any* update so I always have a way to back out of it in the event something is broken over the latest security patch OTA. HTH :cowboy:

This is what I used...

Autoflash Script with MPHS24.49-18-8.

Reboot the phone, checked if it was unrooted (No root)

Did the update, device rebooted and it was SUCCESSFUL!

Back to the original software MPHS24.49-18-16

Which was December 2016 update

Hope this helps!.

Hi, I was wondering if any one else has been having this issue, lately Chromecast audio and other cast enabled devices of mine have not been working right. When I go cast to my CCA it hangs up at connecting and doesn't connect to it or sometimes it would work. Or it would disconnect after a minute or immediately after it connected same as my nexus player to I don't know if google has been addressed this issue or they are working on it
[Chromecast Audio] binarydad:
Sounds like the same issue I'm having with my Galaxy Tab ever since it was upgraded to 7.0. Sometimes, usually after it hasn't been used in a bit, when I cast, it'll disconnect the wifi for a bit. It does it only when attempting to cast. Doesn't matter from which device. Driving me insane. Did you ever resolve it?
[Chromecast Audio] Bingley:
Same problem. Dropping from both a lineage os tablet and a 5x on oreo
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
I decided to try the latest U-firmware on my G930V. I had issues with previous G930U builds having SMS/MMS issues. I gave PL2 a shot yesterday and I've been really happy with it. The phone is very snappy and everything works as designed. Verizon visual voicemail can't be used, but it's not a huge deal. VoLTE works well. You can download My Verizon from the Play Store. I'd highly recommend this firmware compared to the previous builds. Make sure to enable the Verizon APN in APN settings after install.

I'd like to note that my phone is completely stock at this point, NOT ROOTED, so I didn't need to apply any fixes to make things work. You should be able to root without issue if that's your thing.

Downloading the firmware from Sammobile takes FOREVER, so I uploaded it to my AFH account to cut down on that download time for you guys.

G930UUEU4APL2

Backup using Smart Switch, then use Odin and flash ALL 4 files. Do yourself a favor and don't use HOME_CSC. It'll make things much smoother if you don't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
Let me know if anyone runs into any issues. I know in the past, some have had great experience with the U-firmware and others had issues with no reception. I want to see if the same holds true for this build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] torr310:
Is this update in January?

Update: Yup, I took it last month and everything was OK. I am on Verizon Rom now just expecting it receives Nougat earlier than U furmware, which updates quarterly.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
I was hoping Verizon would see the official Nougat by this point. I liked the feel of the U-firmware, but reception was a problem for me on Verizon. I decided I'd give the latest U-firm a shot since waiting for official Verizon Nougat seems like a lost cause at this point. I'll stay with this until Nougat is officially released. This firmware is the December update, and since they update it quarterly, an update should be around the corner. Maybe the next U-firmware will be Nougat. I think Nougat-U would be damn near flawless lol.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Nobiscis:
What exactly are the benefits of flashing this? Do I get 7.0? How is the reception? What are the cons?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] xlectik67:
I have a pretty big problem. I attempted flashing the 4 files with Odin 3.09. After a couple of seconds the operation terminated and now my GS7 is stuck in a bootloop. Whats worse is that when i attempted to boot into recovery, now it shows a blue screen with the android logo that says "installing system update" for about 2 seconds then shuts off, then tries again. Does anyone know how to fix this, at least so I can flash stock back on it?

Update: Fixed it, was able to get into download mode and use odin to flash stock. The flash failed but it was able to trip the OS and recovery back to normal for some reason.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
No carrier bloat and a very smooth OS. The reception is great. The cons are that you don't get any of the carrier features, like WiFi calling, visual voicemail, ect.

Odin 3.9 might be too old. I've used Odin 3.11 or higher on the S7 and have never had any issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] karzan93:
thanks to you it works perfectly but HOME_CSC failed and caused recovery bootloop after that i tried other CSC and it was successful. I've got very upset on V firmware because they deleted a lot of features on galaxy S7. they are worst:confused::(

I'm still having issues with this latest firmwire. I do get LTE but not network connection. I still have circle with a line through it indicating that I don't have service. the service will come on for a second and then cut out. Service is called "123456".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
Did you choose the APN to use? If you are using a Verizon SIM card, then it should give you the option to use Verizon, but you need to select it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] matase:
So there's APN settings and Network Operators. I'm actually using a verizon MVNO called boom mobile. If I selected "verizon" network, I get a notification that says " no service - selected netweork verizon not available". The other one's that show up from the selection are ATT, T mobile, and some 310830 thing. None of them work. I use automatic network detection.

As far as APN settings, I do use Verizon and I get LTE data from that. I just don't get the phone service connection.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
Hmmm. This is passed my level of experience then. I'm only familiar with setting up and using authentic Verizon service. I can't speak for other services that use Verizon's network.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I was looking into flashing the U firmware for a while and I finally pulled a trigger after seeing this thread.

Everything works well on Verizon and it feels great to have a clean phone & freedom to switch. I think it's worth waiting a little more for Nougat.

jOdin3

hey guys,

this is the first non-nexus phone i've used, and I am excited about flashing the U firmware to get a clean stock experience on my g930v. I was wondering what files i should input in jOdin under the PDA/Bootloader/CSC/Phone fields after I extract the zip file SM-G930U? I have searched tried to watch some insufferable youtube videos on the matter have had no luck finding an answer. Also since I'm asking, is it possible to flash this firmware with jOdin3, sorry for the newbie questions, didn't know where else to go.

Thanks in advance to any helpful replies.

Solved the above, no need for replies.

Next though is when I try and flash using Jodin3 the pit file is acquired, the phone reboots and then it stays disconnected and I am unable to start the process after the phone reboots. Any suggestions?

Solved the above by using heimdall to extact pit.

I am close to giving up and flashing anything via jOdin3 I have tried pretty much everything to flash new firmware with no success, latest error is that there is a corrupt file, need to use Odin file...

HAS ANYONE had success flashing a Verizon S7 on macOS? if so please tell me where to go.

Tracfone vs. VZW firmware (U v. U)

HOME_CSC - not CSC.

Alternative is June 8th SM-G930U for (don't faint) Tracfone - that's what I have on my VZW-unique G930V (currently SIMless) G930UUEU4BQE2 - if you want the real-deal VZW, there is a U-version of the same firmware for VZW as well (same date as well). The Tracfone version is, in fact, as vanilla as it gets for carrier firmware - in fact, Tracfone appears nowhere. If SamMobile is too slow, grab it from updato.com - MUCH quicker.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] thechuck07:
I am on verizon using a G930V and tried the BQE2 release. Flashed BL, AP, CP, and HOME_CSC. I can make and receive calls, data works, and I can receive texts. However I cannot send text messages. There are also little things like the caps lock working funky on the samsung keyboard when setting up the device and extra, Sprint OMADM checking status notification, and odd entries (Q Tethering and some others) in the settings menu.

I flashed the BQD2 release since everyone seemed to have success with it. I didn't have the issue with the keyboard on startup, the settings menu looks correct, and I was able to send text messages, and there wasnt that ODADM popup.

I then took the OTA update, and verified texting still worked and everything else appeared normal. Did a factory reset and all everything was still normal.

I think there is something wrong with the BQE2 firmware that was released on 08.06.2017. At least the version uploaded to updato

Ok about to flash one of these 930u firmwares on my Verizon Q930V which is currently on stock verizon just got it android version 7.0, security patch level, may 1, 2017 and baseband version G930VVRS4BQC9.

I'm thinking of flashing the G930UUEU4BQF3 USA (Verizon) from updato.com

Do I need to use any specific version of Odin? and should I be using HOME_CSC or just CSC?

I'm currently on the original unlimited data plan and am trying to get wifi tether working without rooting. (also wouldn't mind getting ride of verizon bloat. )

This is mainly because it looks like FoxFi doesn't work on Android 7

From what I can tell from reading posts is that I will no longer have visual voicemail from verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
From someone who has flashed pretty much every ROM for the S7 across different firmwares, my best advice is to follow this https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73054049&postcount=808

Except use the latest version of the ROM posted here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73122022&postcount=825

This will give you the unlocked wifi tethering, along with debloating a ton of junkware. There are mods built in as well. All around it is the smoothest ROM for the Verizon S7. It does require you to root your phone initially, but root is wiped during the flashing process, and the factory kernel is reinstalled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] cdeleoxda:
[MENTION=6697968]CVertigo1[/MENTION] thanks for the quick reply. Sounds like that covers all my needs. Just curious as I think I would be good with running android MM 6.0.1 because I could use FoxFi. Could I just download the 6.0.1 from sam mobile or updato and flash that? Or will this not work because of the bootloader that I have on now and what would be flashed with the 6.0.1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] cdeleoxda:
What would be the differences between using the rom/method you suggested and using the G930U? Both offer tethering and removal of bloatware both run off the non eng. so should be fast. Both are non root, G930U does have updates that are pushed (some may see this as a negative or positive)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
The ROM I suggested is built on the Verizon firmware, and works extremely well with the Verizon services, including HD calling, video calling, WiFi calling, and Visual Voicemail.

The stock U-firmware works well, but it only has HD calling, so video calling, WiFi calling, and Visual Voicemail are not available. You can add these features with root, but you mentioned not wanting root.

There is a ROM based on the U-firmware that also uses the factory kernel without persistent root. The Verizon ROM and U-ROM are very similar, almost identical, but I seem to get better WiFi calling when I'm running the Verizon ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] cdeleoxda:
Thanks for the info it's not that I'm apposed to root just don't want the lag that comes with the engineering boot loader which I believe is required for root (correct me if I'm wrong).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
If you root, you get the laggy engineering kernel, not bootloader. There are some fixes, but it'll never be as fast or smooth as the stock kernel. By going to the Verizon ROM, you need to root the phone, but it essentially becomes unrooted during install, so there is no need for the engineering kernel after install. That is the biggest benefit of that ROM. You get all the features you want, with all of the crapware removed, and running on the factory kernel. It performs like a stock phone, just better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] cdeleoxda:
Thanks for the info and clearing up my mistake on saying bootloader instead of kernel. I definitely don't want the lag. You may not know the answer to the next question as it is very specific to my situation but thought I would give it a try.

So I had an S5 that I used FoxFi on, not because of root but because FoxFi allowed me to use a chromcast in my car that would connect to my FoxFi WiFi and also allow for my phone to use the google home app to cast the screen to the chromecast. All while being able to allow other devices in my car to connect to the FoxFi. I like some of the features of Nougat so I want to stay on that but I noticed that FoxFi no longer works on Nougat. I can use the built in wifi teather however it looks like it has client isolation turned on so I can't get my phone to be able to see the chromecast that is connected to it.

Do you know if the Rom you suggested allows for tethered clients to "see each other" or does FoxFi work on it?

I also tried to see if I could go into network settings and change the APN then start FoxFi and then change the APN back to Verizon. Not sure if that would work but on the 930U rom it seems to be locked to Verizon and I can't change or add another APN. I have of course the 930U (verizon) rom not sure if using another one like TracFone would allow for me to add/change the APN.
