Hi I am having trouble downloading the Sprint G935U firmware from SAMMOBILE. I've been able to download previous files but for some reason I keep getting errors when downloading. Does anybody have G935U firmware available for download. I would really appreciate the help thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Mikke1873:
use the spr root file and if you have service and update prl and everything else. then flash eng boot img with prince comsey. go to where spr root file is and open command window here by using shift and right click on mouse. when commands window opens type root sprint bat how it is displayed in file Explorer and then update super su with updater only file the same way as you ran the sprint bat file. I think its called super su 282 updater only bat. This worked for me. Then follow post on entering apn info. set up super su. install busy box. worked great. thanks to everyone who worked on this.

I downloaded the files on updato. I have the mm files which would update Ota. Now I also have nougat files but I have s7 not edge. I used this method with spr root bat and then update only super su bat file and it worked beautifully on s7 g930u. Thanks again for your time and trouble.

I did this on g930u and it worked great. I read the post first ( all 20 pages). I used spr root bat and then updater only bat file. Thanks for all the help and info. thanks jkruse and godpower and anyone else I forget to mention

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

thanks a lot for all the info. I used the spr root bat after eng boot. It took a few tries but what worked for me was to use file explorer after extracting file and open command window here. then I typed spr root bat as it was displayed in the file explorer on pc. When using update file I had to view properties in order to see complete file name. I believe it was super su update only bat. This worked on a flat s7. After entering apn info it works great. the other files made me lose my phone number but spr root bat and updater only worked for me. Thanks again everyone

2 quick questions for you.

When swap pro starts and does its thing, can we close it, or should it always be running in the background?

and I was curious as to why we install busy box in 2 places. Thanks for all your hard work!

WiFi Calling and Carrier Name

Hello people after various efforts of rooting flashing unsuccessfully, I finally was able to get Root. Yeeeeeaaaaahh!! . I have a question has anybody been able to get WiFI calling and also the Carrier shows as Samsung is it possible to change to Sprint. Appreciate any help thanks in advance.

After the first time you run the program it will automatically run on reboot. It does not seem to have any settings to make it disappear after running. I just use the back button on the phone.

Hi Guys

I just bought G935P unlocked for GSM from ebay. It has Android 6.

Will I loose the GSM unlock if I flash via ODIN this FW G935UUEU4BQD2 ?

Once it is flashed will I be able to access and set my own APN?

I`m reading that the U version is free from Sprint and Samsung bloatware and battery is much better , do you agree?

thank you, I`m new to S7 family.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
GSM unlock is linked to your SIM and MEID, so it shouldn't disable the unlock. However, make sure you download the correct firmware package that matches the hardware and follow EXACTLY, the instructions in post #1.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
Root also works with G935U QE2, and QF3 SPR U firmware (nougat).

If you are already running G935U QD2 or QE2 rooted, then you can ODIN the HOME_CSC_OYM_ CSC from QF3 along with the other QF3 (BL, AP, and CP files). This will retain all your apps and non-root settings. After reboot, let the Nougat update complete. Power off, then restart in bootloader mode. Then re-ODIN Nougat_S7_Edge_EngBoot.tar.

The run root.bat again as detailed in post #1.

After reboot, you will need to re-establish privileges for SuperSU, re-install BusyBox, etc.

Samsung to Sprint and Wifi Calling

HI people, I was wondering if anyone had a disabled package xml file that doesn't effect wifi calling. I'm super psyched about my phone having root but also bummed of not having this feature. I don't have an unlimited phone call account, although everything else is, like unlimited data, texting... If anyone has one or is it possible can you please share also for the life of me I can't change Samsung to Sprint. I mean it doesn't affect the function of the phone but I would like to change it. Any help would definitely be appreciated. Thanks in advance.:D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
FYI, I'm getting much better performance with QE2 vs QD2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Euronymous88:
Same here. QE2 seems to much faster/smoother than QD2 for me as well. All I have is busybox and Speed Up Swap running. I also have the dual speaker mod working. My only problem is with the debloat script. I followed your instructions and some packages would not delete...I got the read-only error. Any thoughts?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
Did you select run the script as root?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Euronymous88:
Yes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
I can post a Flashfire flashable zip version. However it also debloats non-English language fonts, and tts files, and installs my custom red text shutdown and boot animations for night mode reboots. The embedded script has been updated to reflect slight package name differences between U and P firmware.

Sure, that would be great.

After you flash the boot eng image are you running the root.bat?

I recently updated the instruction on post #1 with the new root bat with SuperSU 2.82 from jrkruse. Also, you need to enter the sprint-specific apn settings after running the root.bat as detailed in Post #1. Did you do that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] momentman10176:

@ jrkruse and godpowerr messing around in root browser and found carrier specific build.prop for XAS and SPR in Vendor/Carrier just open root browser and scroll to Vendor and go from there, I wonder if possible to swap P firmware file with this one also on XAS changed Chameleon to Sprint and 310000 to 310120 now have Sprint for header instead of Samsung but when I changed SPR folder 310000 to 310120 it greyed out APN that I made and showed all the default Sprint Apns but mine wasnt selected, hope this helps

Update: changed the build.prop 310000 to 310120 in the SPR folder and added new APN then restarted the original apn we were instructed to modify disappeared and all got greyed out but the new one i made was selected with 310120 and dun added but all greyed out and hotspot works
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
I am on CREDO mobile, that doesn't require the changes in the APN's that you need, so I can't help you. You might check with @superrr since he supplied the APN settings for the Sprint network in post # 1. Are you adding the

I think I figured out where I was going wrong with the rooting of the U Rom LOL.

U Rom you add the APN after rooting before the phone reboots itself because after trying to do the APN setting it suddenly reboots that's when things go wrong.

P Rom you do the APN before you root because the Sprint stuff will lock the APN and you can't modify it and have to start over.

That's what I get for not reading it properly thinking the root is the same as always P APN before you root and U Rom you APN after rooting.

Well that's what I am hoping for stuck at work I spent 5 hours this morning trying to get this to work stuck on U Rom stock for now.

Oh on the stock U Rom I had to do the ## data # msl then APN to choose the APN2 LTE to get my mms working but the calling text data worked out of the box stock after flash. Will update once I get home and retry rooting my phone.

Sincerely

LockedNLoaded

Update it was trying to do the APN right after flashing the eng bootloader that was my error. I followed it to a T right after eng bl root.bat 2.82 and then edited the APN that's how I rooted and got this post updated STUPID ME LOL
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
Yes. The sequence of steps in post #1 is not optional, otherwise something WILL screw up.

Yes, these are steps for U firmware, not meant to be translated from P firmware as an alternative method of approach.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Mikke1873:
I had same problem you need to search thread for root_spr. bat file. then use updater only bat file. when I used root. bat file I had no data also. Run these 2 spr bat files and then put in apn info. this worked for me. I rooted many times before I realized this. After I read entire thread I saw what I was doing wrong.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
I am wondering if you rooted the phone with the older posted version of root.bat (SuperSU 2.79), then allowed SuperSU to update from the Play Store, which would then disable root because it won't update the SuperSU binary. The flashable zip would solve that problem. If that is what happened, then the newer root.bat from [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] that I linked in Post #1 installs the current SuperSU 2.82 should be used instead if you are starting from scratch to ODIN stock U firmware.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Mikke1873:
I used root_SPR. bat. which installed old supersu. Then I used update only bat file which updated to supersu 2.82
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] radink:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Mast3rZero:
If you noticed your device is going slow while charging try to turn off Fast Charging . Fast charging really heats up your device for maximum throttle .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
By update, how did you ODIN the QE2 firmware? From scratch (including wipe data and cache) or use the HOME_CSC method to retain apps and settings from the QD2 version?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Lockednloaded:
I am loving this rom thanks for the heads up on fast charging phone gets super heated during charging and the charging slows to a crawl.

Though I got a dumb question when factory reseting I lose su and run into many problems is it due to the locked bootloader.

I used to factory reset to clean my system and redo things clean every 3 months tried that and ran into so many problems
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
If you factory reset you will lose root and probably phone and data because of the packages that were removed by adb during root. So you will need to RE-ODIN the stock rom from scratch.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] momentman10176:
Finally got data working. However phone was slow, buggy, unstable, and kept having crashes. So I'm back to stock for now, as I need Google Maps, Waze, and stability for work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Mast3rZero:
Must've not done it correctly. I use Google maps and Waze just fine. Only app that slows down my device is snapchat.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
The problems you describe sound like cache and factory reset were not done before flashing the U firmware as required to start with.

If you could add this to OP. It's imperative and took me a month to figure out.

The problem regarding voice and MMS is located in /system/build.prop

Enable root explorer, I use es file explorer and located in app menu towards the bottom. Open build.prop with es note editor or whatever you prefer.

Change/Update

ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Sprint

This has nothing to do with service. Changes Samsung to Sprint in status bar.

ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=310000

ro.carrier=unknown Very Important

telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=1 Very Important

persist.eons.enabled=true Very Important

ro.cdma.default_alpha=Chameleon Very Important

ro.telephony.default_network=10

ro.ril.def.preferred.network=10

ro.build.characteristics=Chameleon Very Important

Reason being selecting Chameleon is because of the numeric value 310000. A must for XAS.

Turn off root explorer so build.prop saves as read only(R/O). Apply to default.prop as well if you have one...Located in device folder.

Restart and enjoy!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
Hi [MENTION=7523343]godpowerrr[/MENTION]. I can't check these settings on my phone because these mods are not required on the CREDO Mobile network for voice and MMS. If someone who is on Sprint can check these settings and let me know they work, I will then post them in Post #1 as an update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
BuildProp Editor is probably better to use.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] thering619:
After a few tries, I managed to get everything working with one caveat:

Enabling secure startup (full encryption) by selecting Require password when device turns on will cause the phone to go into a bootloop after the next restart. Reflashing QE2 using HOME_CSC_OYM brings it out of the bootloop with secure startup still enabled, but loses root (as expected). Any idea how to get secure startup working properly?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Nexus85:
Same thing with me. I haven't found a solution yet my friend and I have done this multiple times. I usually flash eng boot again. I just wouldn't use it because it's a Knox trigger which then allows the system to detect root hence the bootloop
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
Did you flash the fingerprint fix? This will affect other secure login settings.

I recent;y rooted U firmware using this method. is there anyway to get wifi calling? I can no longer find it in the phone settings app and I have no packages disabled.

Edit:

After some researching, (because I can't live without wifi calling due to crap reception)

the settings to enable Wifi calling is in IMS Settings. and after checking through IMS settings IMS came out as false as some information is missing (I believe it's the information needed when you first register for Wifi calling? idk)

Don't wanna tinker with anything as I don't know If I am onto something or if I'm correct about anything but hey it's something.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
QF3 is rootable. See updated post #1
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
Well, the nice thing is that with the firmware releases thus far, if the HOME_CSC is used instead of CSC_OYM during updating the software (using the updated BL, AP, and CSC of course), then all the settings and apps are retained, and the only thing that needs to be done after the firmware update is to re-ODIN the engineering boot image, then run root.bat again. After rooting, SuperSU permissions and BusyBox will need to be re-configured, but everything else will be retained.

This can only happen if you download the stock firmware and use ODIN to update the firmware instead of allowing the OTA update to occur.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
As I have pointed out previously, I am on CREDO Mobile which is a mobile virtual network that operates on the Sprint network. So my successes rooting the U fimware are restricted to the G935P hardware running on the CREDO mobile network. It is for others who are on the Sprint service directly that need to trouble-shoot problems with rooting U firmware with their own G935P hardware. The instructions that I have posted in post #1 that are modified for the Sprint network per se (step 16 in post #1), are based on reports from you and others. If that step needs to be changed, I have to rely on those who report success in that regard. Please keep me posted. Thanks.

G935P to G935U

I want to use my Sprint G935P Qualcomm phone on another carrier, but need to switch firmware to G935U. My phone is currently rooted and I was wondering how to go about this. Can I just flash my firmware using FlashFire.? Do I need to wipe first or unroot to get the unlocked version.? And if so, what files do I flash.? EX: BL, AP, CP, and Home CSC or CSC.?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
I assume you are already on Nougat.

First, do a backup of your user apps with Titanium backup and settings, apps, messages to the Samsung cloud.

Then follow all the steps in Post #1 in order. Do not skip any step. As detailed, You MUST CLEAR CACHE AND FACTORY RESET AND DATA WIPE or it will fail.

After root is completed, then restore everything from Samsung Backup and Restore. Then using Titanium backup restore ONLY THE DATA FROM USER APPS, NOT SYSTEM APPS.

Since you are not in an area serviced by Sprint CDMA directly, I seriously doubt that you will be able to activate service.

What do you mean by "failed 2 times at step 14". What happens?

If you are flashing a different ROM it is always best to wipe the cache and data in the recovery mode. I will add this to Post #1.
