Here is more info about the Settings submenu options:

Here is some more detailed info:

The submenus under settings give me options like K twophoneservice; T roaming; Giga LTE. I think it is CSC related as those carriers are Korean based. I think this may be my issue along with a few others I've seen on reddit. Just wondering why it says that though. I used the G930U version, so not sure why this would appear.

Any help or suggestions?

Thanks

Bootloop

Did you get Oreo working while running on v5? Have followed steps in that video but the phone always gets stuck in a boot loop. I extracted the latest Oreo files from the AP file and every seems to flash right but gets stuck in a boot loop after flashfire reboots. Have tried multiple times with same result. Would rather not upgrade to v6 but was trying to get Oreo working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] lvpre:
I didn't try Oreo, but I didn't have any success getting Nougat to work. It would install and run fine, but I never got it to connect to a network. I tried flashing different imgs and making zip files with additional files to add to the system and same result. I do have additional LTE bands unlocked (12,13,17), but since I still have sprint, I have no way to test it.

I assume that everything would work normal except for VoLTE, but I think you could add that with root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] elesbb:
You have to follow the other guide on here about disabling packages. The only problem: you can't disable packages anymore with the apps from the play store. Samsung stopped that. There are system level applications that are blocking you from connecting to sprints network after flashing eng_boot. My guess is you flashed eng_boot, phone booted, then shutdown and reboot, now no network connection? This happens with the binary 4 version as well. I have been on nougat rooted using U firmware for a good while. I once had to re-install everything and when I went to disable the apps, I couldn't. There is a way to disable them via ADB but its not easy and requires patience. But once those packages are disabled, you will have a perfectly running phone with root.

Here are the packages:

I came here looking to see if the same eng_boot works on Oreo. Guess I will just have to go ahead and try it myself
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] lvpre:
The version used by GSMZambia includes a boot.img file, which removes the eng_boot and root after a factory reset. It sounds like you are actually still b4 for everything. This version is for people on b5/6 and want to install the U firmware. However, you are correct about disabling those packages when rooting on the U firmware. You lose root and eng_boot by flashing the stock boot.img in flashfire. The point is to have the U firmware without root on a b5/6 Sprint S7/Edge.

Maybe it would work if you flash the eng_boot again and disable, but then you are stuck on the eng_boot. Plus it messes with Knox, so I'm not sure if something like SABS or Adhell would even work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] elesbb:
But from what I read in the original post is that BEFORE using flashfire to flash the original boot.img, you are running the eng_boot.img. Is this correct? Btw, flashfire NEEDS root. So you ARE rooted at some point. Therefore, this is why you are being kicked from the network. Thus, disabling those packages will prevent that. But SABS and Adhell no longer work, at least I couldn't get them to. I even paid for the one and used it once. So I'm a bit annoyed with that. But yes, I am still on binary 4 for the BL. It was a requirement when purchasing my phone on Craigslist xD

But, what you are after may not be feasible. This is what you want: 100% U firmware on Sprint Binary > 4 WITHOUT eng_boot?

I always thought the whole point of being on U firmware was for root access though. But anyhow, once you get the U firmware flashed, which BL version is on the device? Is this an exploit that allows for older Binary to be flashed?

I'm intrigued by this method for other reasons. I would really REALLY love for a custom boot.img to be allowed but you can't. If this method is a way to block checking of BL, AP, etc hash checks, then the similar method should be possible for a custom recovery and custom kernel. I miss my kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] lvpre:
AdHell 3 still works on Nougat at least. You have to get the newer version because Samsung changed their SDK keys program. I'm not on Oreo, so I'm not sure if it will work. But if you are rooted, you have better options. If you need the new version of AdHell3, I'll post a link.

Basically, when you finish. You'll have the U firmware on the phone, but the BL with still be 5/6. So some things like Knox, System Updates, etc..won't work because of the conflict and will say the phone has been compromised. Also, the phone doesn't bootloop because of those items you need to disable, because you did it before using flashfire.

It works fine after applying the changes after rooting, but it is after the flashfire flash and factory reset that doesn't. Modem you can flash, but the CSC files mostly get erased because parts of them are install to the system with the rom. When you check, the phone has no CSC setup available. Which is why it probably displays Korean carrier settings since that is the default with CSC files present.

The original point of U firmware was to get rid of carrier bloatware and the ability to use most carriers easily with most addons (VoLTE) available.

So in conclusion, you have the U4 firmware running on a Sprint S7 with b5/6 installed without root. Since the phone runs fine with the U firmware, something is causing connection issues to Sprint. I assume he is in Africa (Zambia) and by using a GSM only sim card, it will work.

Unless you want to upgrade to b5/6 and try it, that's probably the only true way to test it. Plus, who wants to be on b4 anyway?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] elesbb:
Yeah I am currently rooted with the U firmware BL4. I want to upgrade to Oreo, hoping for performance improvements, better battery, etc. But I guess since the Oreo U firmware is still BL4, I can just downgrade if I can't get root back.

I never mentioned a bootloop? Is this about something else? The point I am trying to address is the loss of Sprint connectivity after flashing eng boot. This is because of the packages that need to be disabled.

So you flash everything, eng boot, and are currently rooted. You then flash the provided file via flash fire, factory reset, and now you no longer are able to connect to Sprint network? When you say "can't connect to Sprint network", are you referring to data or to Sprint network entirely? If you go under your "about phone" section, what does your IMEI and phone number display? Don't actually type it here, but it should be something comprehensible. It shouldn't say "unknown" or a bunch of zeros, etc. [/quote]

True..

I do. A lot of people want to be back to BL4. There is NO difference in the newer bootloaders EXCEPT a special "key" type of thing that prevents downgrading. That is the only thing different. This is why the U firmware is still on BL4 despite having an Oreo update. Sprint changes the BL version just so people like us have extra hurdles to overcome when we want something different. Its very stupid tbh.

But, I would like to help you guys out, however, I AM NOT upgrading to the BL5/6. Noway nohow. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] lvpre:
It actually shows a crossed out circle for the signal strength in the status bar. I'm pretty sure I tried it by flashing just the system and system with boot, which removes the root. Even entering apn info had slight issues.

I was hoping someone with more knowledge and a b5\6 phone would give this a whirl. If you get bored, maybe it would be like you flashing the U firmware with b2.

My wife's phone is still b4, so at least one of us didn't get the Sprint screw.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] elesbb:
Hmm. That's weird. What does your about phone section say for IMEI and phone number? Everything good? I wonder if something is affecting the PRL. Try updating that via settings menu before you flash the firmware and factory reset. The CSC shouldn't really affect that part. I have changed mine multiple times to just eff around and see what/if anything changed. Its more for the phone to know what menu options are available and such. For instance, call recording shows up when its not a US branded carrier.

Sadly I will never flash the newer BL. But I will definitely keep trying via the thread and if you would like to discord or something similar I would be down. School starts in about 2 weeks so I'm basically free till then

sim boot loop

I have the same issue. I can install the g930u Nougat firmware on my BLv5 Sprint phone (you seem to need BLv6 for Oreo), however, the phone will not connect to the sprint network. I flashed the cache.img file and it does the same thing. It forces you to reboot to finish setup then errors out on the blue sim card screen in recovery. I removed the AutoPreconfig app through adb shell to bypass the forced reboot and tried to just select Sprint as the network under connection settings where you can search for available carriers. That too failed...it just sat there for a while then said that it couldn't connect and shows the emergency calls only as the network up top and low signal bars.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] lvpre:
Thanks for posting this!!! I'm glad that I wasn't the only having this issue. I tried it again using a different method and still got the SIM boot loop. This method probably works great if you have anything other than Sprint or Sprint MVNO, but something is conflicting like it does during a typical root of the G930P. Anyway, hopefully, someone else will be able to figure this out.

I run a samsung galaxy s7 (qualcomm), and I run the nova launcher as a replacement for the default touchwiz home launcher. I have only one theme downloaded to my phone (Purple Tech by prapas chantavali, from the samsung theme store/app), and I like it, mostly for the purple color. Most themes I saw on substratum and here are dark themed but with barely any purple; and for what themes not on substratum, they say "its trial only, but use root explorer, move/delete some stuff, and its free"

TL;DR for a person who has a qualcomm s7 and therefore can't root or flash, what really are my choices for themes. and for those hosted on either substratum or here, are any of them purple and free? free themes with no ads are really preferred
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] maXDAmn:
just buy it on Theme Store.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] lladwein:

Jk.

The only thing that you can do is to purchase it over playstore or Samsung theme store.... Because Samsung is a heavy modified UI most of the themers are selling their themes (for a good reason)

Hi, first time posting so no doubt I've probably posted in the wrong spot, wrong format or given a remedial, uninformed, dumbarse response, or a combo of everything all at once.

No biggie, considering my noob questions about rooting are coming next - I'm also Aussie so that will be making me laugh for years to come - but if a lack of themes are your only issue, go get yourself a copy of KLWP and KWGT and make your own with relative ease. Or download free presets from G+ and PlayStore or buy some of the really sweet presets from the PlayStore....

OK, now to go find a stupid arse spot to post questions about rooting. Lol...rooting :laugh:

Can not be done without root - I am actually trying to discover exactly at what level band locking is done from so I can develop an app just for band locking on Qualcomm chips.

I do know that root is required because we have to interface with the chipset and access phone state as well as RIL manipulation and I think even the network constants.

I am very new to programming but have scoured the code for hours and hours and have a pretty good idea how the modem and os communicate in relation to frequency bands.

NSG is the only app that currently can lock a specific frequency.
