[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] oponewbie:
Right now there is no way to downgrade to install the U version software. Sprint upgraded to the version 5 bootloader and is the only carrier in the US to do so, so you can't install any other carrier software on your S7 or S7 Edge right now once you have Sprint software installed on it. I have a SM-G930U I took to sprint this past July under the 1 year free service before taxes promotion. Fully unlocked version I purchased online, after having trouble installing a Sprint sim, I had to go in to the store to get the phone to activate.

Once activated Sprint sim locked my unlocked phone(found this out 2 months later when I tried to put another sim in it.) At this point it was still running the SM-G930U Unlocked firmware. I escalated a sim unlock request in September, 2 months pasted and they still didn't unlock my phone. I ended up having to go back in to a Sprint Store to facilitate the unlock, and during that process the Sprint store, flashed my phone to 5BQJ3, that being said, after they did that to unlock my phone they were unable to put the Unlocked firmware back on the phone in the store, I have failed to put the unlocked firmware back on my phone since also, I have escalated this to Samsung, as my phone is under warranty and Samsung say there is nothing they can do. So Sprint sim locked my unlocked phone, and during the process of getting my sim unlocked phone back unlocked, they hijacked my phones software and put all the sprint bloatware and malware on my S7 SM-G930U unlocked phone, and it can't be removed currently as Sprint is the only carrier using bootloader 5 in the US.

I ended up filling out a complaint with the FCC about this last week, and waiting for Sprint to respond as the FCC filed the complaint with Sprint on December 22, 2017. and they have 30 days to respond. But I have tried everything I can think of to get the phone back to the U version software without any resolve. As far as I am concerned Sprint owes me a replacement Samsung Galaxy S7 Unlocked phone or newer model, and right now the only "Unlocked" variant Samsung phone Sprint even stocks is the new S8 Active SM-G892U phone which is the same phone for Sprint as it is for T-Mobile; but we shall see what happens I am not holding my breath with Sprint and will probably just have to take them to small claims court for the replacement cost of my phone as it is cheaper than submitting a formal grievance with the FCC is the informal one doesn't solve the issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] The Android Attorney:
is there any other carrier firmware with the same bootloader version that i can flash to? i need a phone for Verizon, i'm stuck on the sprint firmware. there's a band that is disabled on the sprint one. hopefully one of the others, if there is one available, will have the bands needed enabled.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] kpl388:
Wow - nice persistence following up with FCC! Would love to hear how that gets resolved. I'm also stuck with a 930P v5 bootloader and no way to install 930U firmware. What is the best way to track 930U firmware bootloader versions so that I know if/when v5 is released?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] lvpre:
G930UUES4BQL1 is bootloader 4.

G930UUEU2APG9 is bootloader 2.

G930PVPU5BQJ3 is bootloader 5.

At the end, go 5 digits back and you will get the boot binary version. So when the U firmware gets to G930UXXX5XXXX it should be good to go. Based on the U history, it looks like the bootloader will get updated if/when oreo gets dropped to the device. It seems like they went with 2 for MM; 4 for Nougat; and hopefully 5 for Oreo. Every carrier seems to be updating the bootloader version about 5 months before the actual release of the new OS...maybe that means that Sprint will be the first to receive Oreo.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] kpl388:
Thanks so much for the great info!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] zed011:
If we wait for oreo and it has bootloader 5 then it will be great assuming we do not update the sprint oreo first potentially changing the bootloader version number again. Would be great but I guess now we will just wait and see

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Biregani:
You can move 100% of your apps data to the SD card using Link2SD app.

In order to use the feature you have to repartition your SD card and make a special ext4 partition for apps data and a regular FAT32 partition for other stuff.

I can't write every single step here but you can search for some tutorials on the web.

Hello,

My phone keeps turning on when I pull it out of my pocket. I tried turning ambient display off and it still does it. Any help is appreciated.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] ElShattered:
do you have a password or a pin ?

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] azeem40:
I have a fingerprint.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] dlads:
You must also have a pin or password, fingerprint cannot be set alone..

Turn off double tap to wake, turn off any gestures which may wake the phone from movement, it's possible that the phone is sensing your skin through your pocket.

It'll be one or the other. My money is on double tap to wake.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] azeem40:
Obviously it can't be set-up alone bro... Also, I doubt it is because my phone is touching my skin. It doesn't turn on randomly when it is in a tight pocket. I also don't have any gestures that turn only the lockscreen on. I keep double tap to wake off. I only have double tap to lock using an app called button remapper.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] dlads:
Lol trying to help.. your phone will only turn on via a a gesture or via your skin.

Either way one of them is the cause.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] azeem40:
You're not helping much, to be honest. I already said that it isn't because it is touching my skin. If that was the case, it wouldn't be turning on in my jacket pocket when unzipped. I already mentioned that none of those are the cause.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] dlads:
What can I say, you've got a one of a kind phone which magically does things on its own.

Perhaps you can call the A-Team or the Ghost busters.

Good luck with your phone.

[Crosscall Smartphones] Brazyxs:
Hello everyone ! I hope you're all doing all right :D

I make a third post about my issues (and probably yours for those who have the same phone) on

reinstalling the original firmware of my Crosscall Trekker M1

.

My situation had evolved since the time I started making researchs on that phone.

For now I have the original Firmware and the method to install it.​

There are the links of my 2 previous topics on that subject if you want to learn more :

https://xdaforums.com/general/help/apply-update-sdcard-failed-rooted-t3676453

https://xdaforums.com/general/help/crosscall-trekker-m1-how-to-reinstall-t3691514

(For thoses who want to have it, here's the link of the firmware)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/zpz2p0b75rlw1pl/LU652R%28HS-L635%29_L1185.6.02.00.EU00_MultiDownload_201601292005_user.tar.gz?dl=0

So it appears that I can reinstall the stock rom as an uptade with a sdcard by going on the Emergency Mode

(When the phone is power down : press volume buttons + & - and power button to go on the emergency mode)

The firmware at first is compress on a .tar.gz format.

When I extract the archive with 7zip, I got a i635.v1 file

I'm suppose to put it on the root of the sdcard to perform the installation.

So I formatted my sdcard and put the file on the root.

I put the sd card on the phone

Unfortunately for me when I start the phone on Emergency mode I have an error message:

No update file on TFcard

There are somes pictures that I took during that operation so you can see step by step :​

My 32gb sd card just formatted

The contain of the ROM

Here you can see the extension of the i635.v1

Here you can see the ROM archive before I extracted it

This is when I launch the device on Recovery mode (by pressing Vol - and Power buttons)

This is what the Recovery mode looks like

The Rom appear on the Recovery mode

This is what appear when I launch the device on Emergency mode

And this is the error that I have

On an other tutorial who explain how to install the ROM with an sdcard,

I saw that the extension of the unzipped archive should be i635.v1.bin​

Link of the tutorial mentionned

http://forum.gsmdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=8728

I started to think that my problem for now is the format of the ROM.

Maybe I need to convert it on .bin

Am I wrong ? Does someone got any more clues ?

I'll stay alert on the post and during the time I'll have an answer I wich you a nice day ! :good:

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orange335:
So, being a fool, I decided to jump right into flashing and rooting without bothering to take a backup of anything - I'll never want to go back to stock, so why would I back it up, right? Wrong, because it turns out I've made it much much harder to update my firmware, which is required to use the latest ROMs. I'm currently on 3.35.61.14. The only RUU I've been able to find is for 4.19.61.1. HTCDev also has 1.32.61.15, but I'd have to build it from source, and by the looks of it, downgrading is tricky and I have no idea how easy building from source would be. Upgrading from v3 to v4 is also not easy outside of OTA updates which of course don't work if you've flashed TWRP and rooted.

So, I'm wondering what my options are now. As far as I can see, they are:

1) Stick with v3 firmware and use older versions of ROMs that are compatible with it.

2) Pay $25 for Sunshine to S-OFF so I can flash a different RUU.

3) Get hold of a v2 or v3 stock RUU for SKU 61 somehow.

Does anybody have any other suggestions? Thanks.

Further information:

I have a bootable phone and have downloaded the OTA update, which I have also pulled off the phone and extracted, however the update fails, I assume because my system partition was modified when I rooted it.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
I doubt you'll find an RUU for it so make sure it's definitely an M9, s-off, change cid to htc__001, mid to 0PJA10000, flash 3.35.401.12. Take the 2 ota updates to 7.0.

S-off is worth $25 just to debrand your phone.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] indian84:
Try changing USB port or use a different USB cable. The is known to solve the issue.

Also once you are in fastbot, reboot again into fastboot using "fastboot reboot bootloader"

And the flash TWRP image

If you still get the error, install Fastboot drivers from Essential website.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] aer0zer0:
Use the adb/fastboot from the drivers from essential. It sets environment variable in Windows. Uninstall any other adb/fastboot, and check your environment path to make sure only essential bone is there.

You could easily brick your phone using the wrong adb/fastboot. Beware of dragons and such.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] dsulps:
Did that, but somehow it didn't help. Tried a different computer, installed the essential drivers, and used the cable that came with the phone; everything went smoothly. Still don't know what the problem was, the first computer does not have any fastboot/adb in the path variable, after removing the essential drivers, but I suppose the problem's solved, for now.

[Lenovo A6000/Plus Questions & Answers] 1VANPAUL:
Hello, I own a Lenovo A6010, I recently tried to install a custom rom from a forum in this website, as i am newbie to all this, I think i screwed somewhere. Now my phone is stuck on boot screen. I cannot even start my phone in recovery mode or the menu that takes you to recovery mode.

Before flashing i had taken a backup of the dalvik cache and system and data and all those options available in the backup option in twrp which kept on my pc. Now i dont have any idea what do.

I even downloaded the stock rom of my phone from some website, but it was available in a rar file.

When I connect my phone with a cable while pressing the volume down button the same boot screen pops up and my computer starts to install device drivers. I think my phone can be brought back to normal, but i don't know how.

can someone please help me with some suggestions on what to do with my brick.

Thanks in Advance...

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Jan Philipp:
Are you sure that there's no dead touch spot on the screen? Try to turn on visual touch feedback in the developer options to check the area around the home and recent button. But I think there's no way to avoid a reset. Don't forget to back up your stuff!
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Akinaro:
also make sure that you dont have any overlay app, like dim screen, rounded corners etc. They often mess up system buttons, because this is how android protect from fake touches made by apps.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] raynan:
This happens with any camera; it depends on the refresh rate of the screen and camera. You could try changing your locale to the US or UK, depending on what you're on now. This usually changes the refresh rate of the camera.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Voicebox:
Yeah, there are multiple threads at the Google Pixel forums about this. But don't waste your time going through them. They basically just say all phones have this, it's all in your head, reboot the phone, run it is safe mode. clear camera cache, blah, blah. Since nothing has been done about it since the phone came out, t is probably hardware and not software. I compared my Pixel 2XL to a Note 4 and Nexus 5X, and the pixel has the worst banding.

Here's a typical thread, though not the most annoying. In many, the shills will claim it is the same as all phones have, and repeat that over and over.

I purchased an Essential Phone PH-1 from BestBuy. The first had issues, so I returned for another. I dropped that one and broke the screen, and got a new warranty replacement. The replacement has poor call quality, the charge LED turns green at 90% instead of 100%. I saw here that someone said that is normal Android behavior... However, the two Essential Phones prior to this one turned the charging LED green when it was 100%, not 90%. None of the other brands I've owned over he years exhibited that behavior either.

The issues plaguing this phone have me wondering if their is a difference between the retail unlocked version of the PH-1, opposed to one purchased from a carrier unlocked. I ask because, this phone that drops calls constantly, and suffers from poor call quality, has Sprint System files in the ROM, and my carrier is AT&T. Does anyone else not using Sprint as a carrier have these files on their PH-1?

To view, Touch Settings, Data Usage, Cellular Data Usage... Then touch Android OS to check for the Sprint System Files in the picture below

Not entirely sure but I would think Sprint files are in all builds. Otherwise, there would be 2 versions of every update, system image, etc. And there's just one.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
I remember that Pixel phone had Verizon files in the ROM as well. These are placed there in case user would be using the phone on Verizon and in your case on Sprint.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] i killed tupac:
there are CSC files for every major carrier worldwide in all the ROM's

having said that...it is still possible that unlocked Sprint ones are different. Lots of problems with those, Sprint says they are working on it though.

edit: i have carrier unlocked one from Amazon and it has that Sprint file in there too. Let me check our S8 and see if it has it.

it does not
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] heov:
There is an OpenUS and Sprint variant. To see which, start the device in fastboot mode by holding volume down and power button during bootup. It will say. FYI, bootloader locked has nothing to do with anything (in case that cattches your eye)

If you paid full price, you should have been given OpenUS version. However, there is no hardware difference between the 2 versions other than Sprint should be locked until Sprint releases/unlock it.

Make sure you are on latest OS.

90% green is normal on all essential phones, and also Pixels. Sprint files are normal.

Hopefully you performed a factory reset before writing about your unsolved problems. Although issues with this phone exist, they are "consistent issues". Only exception is the speaker grill variance.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] kbonnel:
Unless you are like me, and seem to have a PH-1 that doesn't have any specified Variant. My phone came from Sprint, is SIM and UICC unlocked (though I noticed the Variant aspect even before it was UICC unlocked), and it just says " Variant - " (just blank, no Sprint or OpenUS)

I opened a support ticket with Essential to see what they think.

Phone works great on T-Mobile, Sprint, and Project Fi (via T-Mobile). I am not sure if it is just my phone, but if I boot up (after a fresh restore) without a SIM, the phone starts up (eventually) the Sprint OMA-DM software to try and register. I thought that was interesting. If I boot up with a T-Mobile sim (after a fresh restore for instance) everything works as you would expect, no Sprint DM software starting at all.
