I tried, but could not get it to work. None of the test voicemails I left ever showed up in the app. I tried restarting my phone but still nothing. I've tried to get it to work before and have never been successful. It's just as well anyway. Why in the world does a voicemail app need access to my location???!!! I hate apps that ask for broad, unnecessary permissions. That's why I don't run the Sprint firmware on my phone. What a horrible bloated mess it is. I don't see how people put up with all that crap on their phones. So many useless background processes running for all the bloatware that you can't uninstall. No thanks. ;)

Thanks to Package Disabler Pro, I have a grand total of 11 processes running at any given time on my phone. And it runs fast and smooth, like it's supposed to. No lag, no stuttering ever. It really is a crime what carriers (and even Samsung) do with loading all their crapware on their phones.

Just curious, are you able to use this app on your phone with the U firmware? Did you have to jump through any hoops to make it work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] lvpre:
I use google voice and forward to it for voicemail. Yeah, I just did a little research and apparently unlocked editions (Sprint calls them Special Editions) of the S7 and S8 have to use the old fashion voicemail because the system is only provision to work with the S9. Simple fix by Sprint, but then again..... I read a small lead about a tech who could reset something in the system to change it from the current system back to the old 9016 method. I'll check more into it. Sorry about it not working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Cooljb:
Thanks for trying anyway. :good:

Works great

Thanks very much for this. I loaded the this firmware on my SM-G935P and it works great with no problems at all. I put an activated AT&T sim card and an activated Tracfone sim card in my G935P with this firmware. Both were automatically configured with the correct bands when the phone booted up and everything I have checked seems to work perfectly and very fast with very little bloatware. Thanks again

Will it work with the cellphone above v4 Binary?

Will it work with the cellphone above v4 Binary?

coz i have updated the mobile and i m pretty sure that it updated my binary version too.

now i have to go back to U firmware will this work? or im still stuck with this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] lvpre:
Yes, this will work if you are above b4. If you are on b4, I would stay, but this will get you out of the Sprint screw job on that.

RCS features not working on U firmware?

Flashed U firmware just today and i was wondering if anyone else was able to get the RCS features to work? When i was previously on sprint firmware it was working just fine but now i see no option for the chat messages setting in the messages app. Everything else seems to be working though. Data and wifi calling. No bloatware! :cool:

Unlocking On U Firmware

Thanks for all of your work on this. I just have a question. If I update to the U firmware while my phone is still locked, will Sprint still be able to unlock it down the road?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] lvpre:
Sprint will unlock it in their system, but it may not activate on the phone initially without the sprint firmware. I unlocked with the sprint firmware then went to the u firmware.

It will work fine. Voicemail will be wonky though. You'll have to call your number to check it because the sprint voicemail app won't work. That's the only real quirk. Wifi calling worked without issue for me too.

Hello,

I have the exact version as shown in the pic attached by Uche0987. But I want to use it on an international carrier and not Sprint. Will it work for me ? My S7 Edge (SMG935P) is unlocked and I am able to use it on other international carriers but not all LTE bands are enabled presently.

I am assuming that if I flash the U version of the firmware, it will enable and support all LTE bands.

Thanks!!

1. Is there a way to make Mint Mobile sim work with this update?

2. Where do I find the firmware to take advantage of VoLTE and Wifi Calling for T-Mobile or Att or Cricket?

Would that be a separate update from the one I just did? Or would it be in addition to?

going from sprint to t-mobile

My G935P is running G935PVPS8CRK2 and I would like to use it on T-mobile. Do I need to find a U or T firmware that matches the 8CRK2 or can I use any T or U firmware as long as it has the 8 in the firmware? I see there are several bootloader 8 versions for download: G935TUVS8CRL1 /G935TUVS8CRJ1 for T-mobile and G935UUEU8CRJ2/G935UUES8CRK1/G935UUES8CRK2 for Unlocked or is it I can use any with 8 or higher in it?

Also is there any advantage or disadvantage to using the T-mobile official T rom vs the U rom? (i noticed even for the U there is a t-mobile version, that doesn't make sense to me as i thought an unlocked version was carrier independent?). right now I'm using the sprint rom on t-mobile, after adding in the apn settings voice, sms, mms and lte data all seem to be working. Not sure on VoLTE or Wifi calling, I can't seem to find settings for those, nor have I tested hotspot yet. Thanks

Dear [MENTION=4145897]lvpre[/MENTION],

Thanks for the file. This brought my phone back to life. It is working now. The model number seems "SM-G935U". However, when I turn on the phone it still checks status for Sprint by running Sprint OMADM. It gives me following error: "Attention. Power off device, insert the service provider UICC that came with the device, then power on the device." My phone was already unlocked and worked with all carriers. Indeed, I wanted to convert my phone to the global firmware to get rid of this issue. But it didn't work. Do you have any idea how I can get rid of the Sprint stuff in my phone?

Thanks!

Definitely disable any overlays and such first. You don't have to unroot though. Just do a flash-all.bat (remove the -w) in fastboot too update, then boot system and let it finish setup. Then you have to root again.

You don't need to unroot to sideload but you should uninstall any overlays before you update.

Yes you then have to reroot. Easier now, boot to TWRP then install the Magisk zip in TWRP. Done.

---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

Copy the canary build Magisk zip to your phone. Put the TWRP img file in your PC folder that has adb and fastboot in it.

Adb reboot bootloader

Fastboot boot TWRPfilename.img. Using the full filename for twrp.

In TWRP install the Magisk zip.

That's it, rooted without TWRP installed.

Sorry - what is the proper way to manually update to the new firmware on an unrooted 3 XL with a locked bootloader? OTA Image? Factory Image? And which method?

And how to do it without wiping data?

EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out. For anyone else wondering:

If you download the OTA zip file, you can sideload that in stock Recovery without unlocking bootloader, and if you flash it there via Google's instructions, it will not wipe anything at all.

If you download the factory image zip file and flash that instead, I believe you can stop it from wiping data by removing the "-w" in the batch file, but keep in mind, if you haven't yet unlocked your bootloader, which is required to flash the recovery image in fastboot, the unlocking process will also WIPE everything!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
With the latest version from TWRP.me? That has been an off and on issue with the Pixels, but you are the first I have seen say that on a 3. I just did it that way and it decrypted.

Magisk won't work.

I patched the november boot image in magisk and copied it to my computer, flashed the new factory image and then flashed the patched_boot.img but system stuck at boot.

With stock boot.img the phone boots up perfect.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
I'm not sure why anyone is still patching the boot image in Magisk lol (no offense or anything). With TWRP available, it's soooo much easier. Just do the flash-all.bat, let the system finish updating, push Magisk 17.3 and twrp.img (the latest one for the 3xl), then reboot to bootloader, fastboot boot 'path to twrp'\twrp...img. Then in there go to install, downloads, flash Magisk.

I can confirm this all works. No issues with decrypt here. Put in my PIN and got in fine three times.

The one thing I DID have a problem with was repackaging Magisk. When I did it a couple weeks ago, it immediately didn't work anymore, no root too. This time, it worked, at least everything seemed to, rebooted and all of a sudden I had two Magisk Manager's installed. One wouldn't open, then the other one showed a popup right away asking if I wanted to download and install Magisk manager... Anyone else having this problem? I know there were a couple when we first got root.

---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

On another note, my phone seems a lot snappier after the update an re-root. Like, everything that needs to load right after boot (widgets, etc.) load right away, and the phone just runs a lot smoother. Anyone else notice this?
