If you dont mind me asking, did you ever find a way to root the G930P with the 5th bootloader updates? Is it even possible at this point in time:(? Im new when it comes to rooting but with the amount of time Ive spent browsing the web it seems as if there is nothing. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Chanman:
I got screwed by this, I accidentally installed the P firmware, and now I cannot load U firmware because of this 5 > 4 error. I went to the blog you posted (arencambre), and I am only able to install the U firmware modem (CP package in Odin), everything else has to be P. And because of the P firmware, I am unable to edit APN settings to enable my native Hotspot. Is there anything I can do, besides wait for U firmware to come out with a Version 5 bootloader?

Actually, I am on Sprint, and your directions were awesome, thank you so much! The only thing I had to do was change the line to:

Hi all,

EDIT: I posted this in another thread that was about two years old, where I followed the instructions that caused this: https://xdaforums.com/sprint-galaxy-s7/how-to/samsung-galaxy-s7-sm-g930p-root-xposed-t3503599

That thread seems dead-ish and if you managed to fix this issue maybe you can help me also. Also what was lvpre's original post before he edited it, and would it apply here?

So the worst has happened - got a new (used) phone from Boost Mobile, tried this guide, and now I can only boot to the "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency Recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software." screen. Sometimes it does take me to the original "Download mode" screen.

Now, I should be able to resolve this by flashing the original firmware correct? (As in, the firmware that was installed when it came)? Or does it just need to be firmware from the same date range that has the same bootloader? ODIN will still let me attempt flashing on this screen, but I still get the same error when I try again, which on the Download mode screen showed "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [system]Fused 4 > Binary 1"

Any advice here? My S6 bricked when somehow OEM unlock enabled itself and I can't get around the FRP lock, I will be VERY annoyed if the same thing happens with a NEW phone. If I can't fix this I am never buying Samsung again. Any advice on this is very welcome! I emailed Boost to ask them which firmware is installed (because I'm an idiot and didn't write it down but have never had flashing go this wrong before).

EDIT: Booting to recovery just shows a blue "RECOVERY BOOTING...." for a second in the corner and gives a recovery bootloop, just keeps flashing that.

EDIT: I apparently tried to flash an earlier bootloader/etc through ODIN according to the directions in the post I linked above, and after that I now have this problem. Nobody else in the thread seems to have had this problem, and your post is the closest to anything I can find on this issue. I would be in your eternal debt if you could help me out here.

PLEASE HELP!

EDIT: Theoretically if I can find the original firmware it was on I should be fine, right? Everywhere I read if flashing goes wrong you just flash the original stock on it. I guess worst case scenario I download gigs upon gigs of firmwares for Sprint 930P over the last year and find the one that sticks? Or is the fact my recovery is bootlooping and I can only go into download mode mean I'm bricked?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] slvmecha:
Hello all,

To follow up on my last post, I found success restoring to stock via this firmware:

G930PVPU4BQH1_G930PSPT4BQH1_SPR_7.0.zip

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634799807

I left my original post just in case anyone messes this up the way I did. I still need root, but now I know how to reset to stock in the event this happens again.

For the record I bought a used Samsung Galaxy S7 off the Boost website.

IF YOU FOLLOW THIS GUIDE, OR ANY, MAKE SURE TO GO INTO "SETTINGS -> ABOUT PHONE" AND MARK DOWN WHAT FIRMWARE THE PHONE IS CURRENTLY ON AS STOCK. THIS WILL SAVE YOU A HEADACHE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHICH FIRMWARE YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD IF THINGS GO WRONG. DO NOT PAY FOR A FIRMWARE DOWNLOAD OR USE FILESHARE SITES, GO HERE: https://simunlockremote.com/galaxy-s-series-firmware/ AND FIND THE VERSION YOU ARE ON AND IT WILL DIRECT YOU TO A FAST GOOGLE DRIVE LINK.

Thanks to all the hard work all the devs have done that have gotten use. I still need root soooooooooo if anyone knows how to do that let me know!

CHEERS! I am so happy right now

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] jbuck2:
Switched from Sprint to T-Mobile. Am I out of luck?

I've got a Galaxy S7 G930P from Sprint. I just switched to T-Mobile a couple months ago and brought my S7 phone with me. I was hoping to flash my rom to either the G930U or the G930T (T-Mobile) version, but both are still bootloader v4 and I hit the same error that everyone else on this thread was hitting.

My main problem is that my S7 phone can't send/receive MMS messages on T-Mobile, even after updating the APN settings, and, even worse for me personally - my phone gets below average reception everywhere I go, presumably because my Sprint G930P rom has locked down some of the bands that T-Mobile uses.

Aside from getting a new phone, do I have any options? Or am I stuck waiting for either a G930T or a G930U update based on bootloader 5?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] lvpre:
If your phone is uicc [sim] unlocked from sprint... you can try the following.

1. Odin a dec/Jan firmware...like QJ3. But replace the cp slot with the file from the latest u firmware. This is the modem file.

2. When your phone starts, you will receive a pop up message, just hit cancel.

3. Install a package disabler like sabs, bk, adhell2. Disable securitylogagent . This should remove the annoying message. Sabs takes a little effort to setup, but you may need it for the disabler part. Restart after disabling.

4. Pop in sim. See if the additional bands are unlocked.

If you fail, you can always just odin back to a v5 sprint firmware. But don't try it unless you are stuck on the current firmware and your phone is doing nothing. It won't brick your phone.

While the firmware is not downloadable, modem files can downgrade one major update.

This worked for me, but I only have sprint and haven't tried it elsewhere.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JeffDC:
You have double checked you flashed the correct firmware?

I'd try this if the above is 'yes'.

If you do have an SD care, remove.

Either boot into recovery (stock), and clear cache/reset phone . . . and reboot. You'll lose data.

TWRP, backup, wipe dalvik/cache and cache, reboot.

If not resolved, re-check OS, and re-flash.

Others may have more precise methods, but this is the way I'd go after it.

I just got the XZ1 (new from eBay), it had 47.1.A.2.313, I've updated to 47.1.A.12.34, looks good so far, and, this is Android 8.0.0.

I know there is at least one more update, perhaps the 47.1.A.12.75 mentioned in this thread. Is that Android 9.0.0?

I'll update to that, but not now, I'm using my phone. Is there any big change to the latest version?

This is my first Sony phone, since I used a Sony-Ericsson a long time ago.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Raz0Rfail:
You can update multiple times with OTA to get the last firmware, this process needs more time to complete. Or you can download the latest firmware for xz1c 47.2.A.11.228 with xperifirm (https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/pc-xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142/amp/).

For flashing you can use newflasher (https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/progress-newflasher-xperia-command-line-t3619426/amp/) or flashTool (http://www.flashtool.net/index.php). I prefer the last one.

In flashTool is xperifirm included, so you doesn't have to download the tool as well.

1. Download flashTool

2. Install it

3. Open it

4. Open xperifirm application (their is a button for it)

5. Select the firmware for your xz1c

6. Click on download

7. Wait for complete

8. After download is finished close xperifirm

9. Wait the progress bar is finished In flashTool

10. Install the USB drivers for xz1c if you didn't had it already

11. Click on the bolt Icon In flashTool and select flash mode

12. Select your downloaded firmware

13. Don't change any hooks, click only on next

14. Wait for the mask which says how you have to connect your phone to your pc and do it as described

15. Wait for flash progress finished

16. Reboot phone and have fun

The detailed progress how to use newflasher is described in the xda link. I didn't use it, because I think the gui of flashTool is easier to understand.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stigartur:
My Z3C has root and unlocked bootloader on Android 4.4.4. Trying to get custom recovery nothing works. When I flash recovery with fastboot, sending and writing is okay but booting into recovery only leads to stock recovery. I have tried different custom recoveries using fastboot and TWRP app but the outcome is the same. When flashing still another it failed because ”size too large”. I have tried:

1. Factory reset – no effect.

2. Using Xperia Companion to repair. When I tried to relock the bootloader it didn´t work: after 60 minutes I got ”Too many links”.

3. Flashing 23.0.A.2.93 via FlashTool. ”Preparing files for flashing. ERROR – null. Cannot open bundle. Flash operation canceled”.

4. Getting a new kernel via NUT´s Kernel Builder. ”Unpacking the uploaded kernel… Copying base packages...” After 30 minutes still nothing more.

To solve this problem I am planing to format the partition for recovery but can´t find it.

This feature wasn't working for me, but I figured out what was doing it. In my case it was LastPass, the accessibility being turned on under services in settings was the culprit. If you turn it off it works you turn it on it doesn't.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Last Pass has caused other problems too. A lot of people had to ditch it. Causes lots of lag. There was even a thread about it, besides comments in other threads when this phone was first released last year.

This phone is super smooth. When people complain they have lag, I always think "Are they perhaps using Last Pass?" Or either they disabled stuff that then causes lag.
