[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] raouf1996:
Hi, I have Galaxy S7 G930FD, On back and in software it shows G930FD, But in download mode it shows G9300 and i want to upgrade to nougat what firmware should i download and its normal?????
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Grey market sellers will flash fake firmware to make non-930F models to appear as 930F. If download mode says G9300 then that's what you have, a chinese snapdragon model they've faked to look international.

Install CPU-Z, it's probably going to confirm you have a SD820 and not an exynos.

You can still flash firmware, it will just have to be stock firmware, and compatible with SD820. Any 930F firmware is probably going to bootloop you.

In your links it says "Onedive incoming , Android incoming" . Is upload in progress or you are planning to upload to those sites later? Thanks in advance, I need restore files to restore my soft-bricked phone, and figured might as well restore to latest most version.

Modem issue

Does anybody have modem speed issues with this firmware? I don't know whether MIMO is enabled. I used to get 40MBps on the C1 modem and after the update, I only get 20Mbps at the same spot.

i have t-mobile firmware installed on my at&t phone & whenever i try this firmware..my phone gets stuck on Samsung logo. Help is appreciated. thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] justda:
Stuck as in you waited 20 seconds and fave up or stuck as in you waited 10 minutes and gave up?

Are you using home_csc or the csc file?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] babbar559:
im using home_csc & i waited 20 mins.. & didn't gave up...re flashed again & waited another 20 mins. Then went back to T-mobile firmware again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jpcdeux:
Flash it, wait for it to say that it's installing update. As soon as it shuts off hold home and volume up. It'll boot to recovery. Wipe data/factory reset and clear cache (I do each one 3x to be sure) then reboot. It'll take a few minutes (After updating to this it did seem to take longer than normal) but it should startup

QE2 Firmware

I haven't checked LTE speeds but I noticed higher battery drain. Has anyone else noticed it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Jimmy4485:
QE2

LTE speed= 30mbps download, about 22 upload. I had tested the T-Mobile PK1 firmware and I was getting 60 or 70 at the same location. I have opened all bands.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] eugenile:
battery life on this one doesnt seem as good?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] justda:
I've noticed it too. It isn't horrible but there is slightly less battery life with this update. I am down to about 40% at the end of a 8 hour day on the older firmware, with QE2 I am at about 30%. With moderate to medium heavy use.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Jimmy4485:

Does anybody know what they improved with this update?

The guy stating he can make video calls is the only guy who I have ever seen claim it works. He has no screen shots to back up his claim. I have a feeling he is just a troll.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Jermin8tor:
In your previous firmware for 4/28 you specifically state there is not root available for it. Is that still the case with this one?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] justda:
We did eventually root QD2, found out it was a package a called "com.sprint.camellion" apk that had to be frozen before you start the root process.

More info can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3605516

I am under the assumption that the same method should work for QE2. I haven't felt the need to root with the issues associated with the eng kernel so I cant comment on the stability or usability of the new root. But anyone who wants to chime in and drop some knowledge is more than welcome.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Jermin8tor:
Man i had a whole reply typed out but it didnt do the quick reply after i logfed in. Ill type it again later.

Its rooted using the 2.82 super zip package and i believe i used odin with the engboot stuff before that. That was after installing the image from this thread to a 7.0.0 sm-g935t.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] maliibu31:
Carrier Aggregation problems

Which file is the modem? I notice that Carrier Aggregation (CA) is not active when I run a speed test, thus making the LTE speeds slower than if 935T was installed.

If anyone wants to try, dial *#0011# to open up ServiceMode, then open the Speedtest app. Run a speed test and use the recent apps button to return to the Service Mode window to see if CA is active.

On my 935U, CA is not active using a T-Mobile SIM.

Hi I have the sm-g935u and I'm on t-mobile but I flashed the USC or US cellular. Should I use this firmware instead? And if so why is it better. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] iPedrow:
OTA Update is not working after changing to U firmware.

I had stock T Mobile last firwmare installed, but I was sick of poor battery and lag so installed this firmware, full wipe.

Now I have worst battery performance. 12% draining overnight (6 hours) without touching the phone at all. It shows a new update but it fails when I OTA update. looks like the update it's being installed but fails at the end. Don't know what's wrong but totally hate battery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] lazarom:
I flashed my TMobile S7 Edge, SM-G935T for the noobs, yesterday with this SM-935U (non-carrier, I think of the U as Universal) ROM. Short version: THANKS justda! It worked GREAT!

Long version: I download all the files, then into ODIN I clicked in the BL and AP from the U ROM, the CP for the T-Mobile Radio as I am on SIMple Mobile, and the CSC from the U ROM.

For the noobs: I set my phone to developer, unlocked it, activated USB debugging, took off the PIN because I wanted (and recommend just as justda did) a complete reset, rebooted with the appropriate key combo (Down+Home+Power, then Up), clicked Start, waited, unplugged when the phone reset, and voila: NEW phone.

I also recommend the T / TMO radio, no matter what carrier you are on, as our phone DOES have the TMO radio. If you have a carrier specific radio, go for it, but do not use the U / Universal radio.

Finally, this is the phone as it should have been from DAY ONE. It is fantastic and I havent even unlocked developer mode. I uninstalled the VERY slight Samsung bloatware, and I can now use the always-on display and not end up with a dead battery from it + all the cruft wasting away the juice all day. New love for the Sammy, thanks to justda and the MANY developers that ironed this out along the way.

(Developers dont get enough love!)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Zardonic:
I did exactly this, downloaded U firmware and T firmware, got the BL, AP and CSC from U firmware and the CP from T firmware. Phone data is stuck on EDGE. Tried the U modem as well, same issue.

Literally just went back to T firmware, which is a shame, because I would have loved this to work. The U firmware is super smooth. Almost feels like when I flashed CyanogenMod in my Note 3 back in the day.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Noraan:
OTA update question

First, I wanted to say thank you for the Firmware. I recently switched from Verizon to T-Mobile and was having lots of issues with the Verizon radio stack with calls not connecting, data not working during calls, no MMS, poor signal strength.

Downloaded and installed the 935U Firmware and used the T-Mobile radio file. Everything is working great today. I did not realize how much Verizon messes with on their Firmware.

I do have one question though. Will I be able to receive future updates from Samsung through the OTA Software Update on the phone or will I need to install a new firmware with Odin in the future?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Jimmy4485:
Updates

You will have to update through Odin because you have the T-Mobile CP software.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Noraan:
Thanks Jimmy. Can I just flash the CP back to the Unlocked version and then upgrade OTA? Or is a full set of software needed to flash the phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] justda:
If you flash the same CP as the other firmware, yes you can OTA.

But

If you are worried about wiping all data updating the OS through odin, just flash the home_csc file, it doesn't wipe data. I don't recommend a none wipe flash update, i always jave issues but that's your call.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Forkinator:
Hey, So im on the QD2 Firmware (Its a SM-G935T on G935U Firmware) and its been a while since i did any kind of odin usage/updating.

Couple questions.

1. Can I go back to stock EVERYTHING if i want right now? How is this done?

2. With the firmware I am on right now (QD2), I am unable to get any ota updates. What would i have to do to get OTA updates on QD2?

3. Do we know what changed in QE2 vs QD2?

Most important questions are #1 and #2.

Thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] bothambhai:
My G935P has a baseband G935PV5BQL1 . I am having a real torrid time using it on Tmobile. I don't get calls or texts ,if that works I don't get data. Can I flash this firmware and will it work ? bearing in mind my baseband.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] justda:
1. Yes you can go back to stock everything. Just to flash the stock files through Odin, you will lose all data

2. To get OTA you have to flash the QE2 U firmware CP file, aka you have to install the stock U modem which is horrible outside of a major city, and horrible in a building in a major city (U modem foes not have the 600 band which is the penetrating band)

3. They say enhancements, but honestly my phone has slowed down on QD2. The security updates is all I can 100% confirm changed
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] justda:
You can and should flash the U firmware if your device supports it, but flash the t mobile radio (CP) or you will have crap service.

935P is sprint? If so yes you can flash the U firmware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Forkinator:
Thank you so much for that info.

I decided (if it's at all possible) that I just want to root my phone. I hate to ask one last question, but how would I root my phone? I know how to root, but I don't know if it's possible to root a G935T while on G935U firmware.

If this is possible, could you point me in the right direction? I can't find anything on Google.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] justda:
There are a few posts about how to root, doesn't matter what carrier or U firmware. I would search and link the post but I am mobile right now.

I am no longer rooted. The lag and battery life decrease wasn't worth it for me anymore. But a lot of folks don't mind it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] bothambhai:
I flashed the firmware from here along with the Tmobile radio via Odin 3.13.1, it failed in Odin and now the phone is stuck on the samsung logo. I used the BL and the AP from the zip, the CP I used from the separate tmobile download link. For the CSC I first tried the CSC that is in the package and when that failed I tried the HOME CSC even that failed. the User data I kept blank both times.. Then I tried it a third time same as above except in the CSC I put the CSC file from the zip and in Userdata I put the Home CSC file, it failed again. Am i doing something wrong ?

Update: I have been trying to flash the stock firmware from samobile, but I am unable to do even that. It keeps failing. I downloaded the firmware from here https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935P/SPR/download/G935PVPS5BRA1/206887/, extracted it, added just the AP and as per instructions went in to download mode, clicked on start and it keeps failing. In Options only auto reboot and f reset is clicked.

I would really appreciate any help to unbrick this device, it is stuck on an exclamation mark saying " An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software". Smartswitch is not recognizing this device saying it's an unsupported device so emergency restore software wont work from there

After having flashed 935U firmware, will I get U firmware OTA update or do I need to flash update through ODIN ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] justda:
If you use the CP (radio) from the U firmware yes you can OTA.

If you use the tmobile CP file then you must use Odin.

I recommend the tmobile radio though, the U radio is horrible.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] lapocompris:
Do you have a link for the latest U firmware with tmobile radio ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] justda:

You have to download the whole firmware file for both versions, and just pick the files in odin.

Will this make my t-mobile phone work on verizon after flashing to the U latest PDA G935UUES4BRC1 and CSC G935UOYM4BRC1 from sammobile? Also, I would not be able to get the Oreo update after this, unless I download it from sammobile right?

This is permanently unlocked with t-mobile unlock app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] justda:
Your phone should work on Verizon out of the box, with only VPN changes, but yes the U firmware is carrier free.

Yes you will have to download Oreo and flash it yourself.

What about TMK USA U Firmware? I flashed it and runs just fine and have not gotten the sim card yet. Still on T-mobile because my brother is out of state. What does TMK mean for the country code? Got it from sammobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] justda:
TMK is the tmobile version of the U firmware. It has the tmobile VPN info by default, so you will have to change it to Verizon's VPN settings.

Battery enhancements and force touch features baked in when using certain launchers, Gifs directly in certain messaging apps, Fingerprint swipe baked in, Daydream VR, other Nexus/Pixel features which can be easily installed as long as the base OS is matching.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Zulfigar:
Ah, so what you're saying is that they already have an ETA because it's already been stated that Daydream will be coming in the summer. Cool.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Jonathan-H:
So nothing worth having then?

Battery is already over 8 hours SOT on QHD+, force touch is useless as the only force touch a S8 can use is the home button area OR if you are a Jedi, GIFs? seriously? Just use Gboard, Daydream VR? Compared to gearvr it's rubbish, and Nexus Pixel features like what? Bugs and crashes? No thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] rontonomo:
coming from a nexus 6 with 7.1.1 i can say in my experience this phone even unrooted is BETTER in every way. i truly saw no difference what so ever between 7.0 and 7.1.1
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Velrix:
Eh that SOT would only be with light usage, low screen brightness and on WiFI. Other users time will vary for one. I avg around 5.5-6 depending on my usage however I can definitely eat it up faster so anything extra is always nice. Any device can support the "force touch" type features with long press to enable extra options. For instance launching a new tab in chrome straight from your home screen.

I use Gboard the fact is it's baked in other apps that don't support it. Google messenger, Hangouts, Allo, ect.

Daydream is about as ****ty as any mobile VR option they all suck compared to PC but the fact is options are always nice and not being locked to one vendor.

If you honestly think the Pixel is a buggy device I can't honestly say much more to you on that. You would have honestly never had to use one to come to that conclusion. The S8 is buggy, **** force closes, half the apps can't use the screen, it's resolution is just not widely adopted yet and won't be for years. I constantly touch the side of the screen while trying to press something on the other side with one hand, the Bluetooth can be buggy sometimes just dropping my car and headset only to reconnect instantly or sometimes not at all. The heartbeat monitor is hit or miss, it doesn't always work for me. There is plenty of flaws then again it's a Samsung not much different than anything else they release.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ChrisM75:
The Pixel is buggy, it has one of the highest return rates, and customer complaint rates for any current phone at a certain reseller in the UK (which you can take my word for or not, dont care).

So why doesnt Samsung use 7.1.x? Its also buggy, and largely pointless over 7.0. The android that runs on many OEM devices isnt AOSP, it often contains fixes and improvements you wont find on the Nexus/pixel, ones the OEM has had to create themselves. Sometimes these just happen to be similar to the ones that Google implement on later android versions. Why if the OEM has fixed a thing would they bother then updating to a later Android version that doesnt offer anything more, but may contain new bugs?

Contrary to popular belief Google isnt always right, its not perfect and sometimes its programming is frankly very questionable.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] optimummind:
