I have learned that CSC code for this device is ATT.

In the link to "use samfirm tool", I tried this procedure, it appears designed to download (from handset to PC) existing firmware image.

I do not believe there is functioning firmware image on this handset (handset needs firmware installed at the "Downloading..." page on handset.

How to use SamFirm Tool to download Firmware (ROM)

Step-by-Step guidelines to use SamFirm Tool to download the Stock Firmware of any Samsung Smartphone and tablets in the world.

androidmtk.com

directs me to

Download Samsung Stock ROM for all models (Latest Firmware)

Download the latest Samsung Stock ROM (original firmware) for all Samsung Smartphone and tablets with instruction manual.

androidmtk.com

however, I do not see entry for SM_G930A

I also looked at

Download Samsung Combination File for all models (Tested File)

Download the latest Samsung Combination File (original) Firmware for all the Samsung Smartphone and Tablets in the world.

androidmtk.com

however, I do not know if "combination file" is useful at this step, and I do not know which file to choose if it is useful.

Thank you for help so far, can you suggests next step?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] V0latyle:
This happens because you're trying to flash an older binary. Your current binary is 11, you cannot flash a lower binary.

You don't need to use any special tools beyond Odin. You can download firmware from SamMobile or SamFW. You can also use third party tools like Frija or Samloader.

What's the version of the firmware you're trying to flash?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] wb0gaz:
Thank you V0latyle for the quick reply.

I am trying to bring a Samsung S7-G930A (AT&T US carrier, locked) back to service after it developed problem (using stock retail/updated firmware) that resulted in "boot loop" (AT&T logo chime repeated over and over.)

The latest version firmware I could find is contained in this file:

G930AUCUBCTB1_G930AATTBCTB1_ATT_FULL_8.0.rar

I have basic background in microcontrollers and pushing firmware, but no experience with Android handset firmware restoration. I am only trying to bring the handset back to initial condition. It was in service until a few days ago, was fully updated running Android 8.0, and I believe from the error messages I saw on the phone after my first attempt to use ODIN (to write it to version 7.0 with a different file set) that it was expecting maybe "version 11"?. The above file name was the most recent file set I could find.

Basically I am not sure which is the correct file set to use or where to obtain it. I am not trying to "root" the phone or do anything other than restore stock operating condition so I can return it to service.

Thank you for your interest in my task!

I repeated the process (starting handset in Downloading state, attach USB to PC, start ODIN3, assign the four files, then click START.

In this state (again, waiting for "downloading" after what appeared to be a succcessful download from ODIN3).

I powered the handset off, then pressed power buttun until "recovery boot" (small text), then it appeared to begin installing Android, but stopped part way through and proceeded to a screen (with android icon) and text "Erasing". That (Erasing state) took several minutes, then screen went dark..

Sorry, cannot really help here.

With a little research on XDA, and the right keywords you may find the error.

'advanced search' for "SM-G930A"

* title only

gives you this query:

https://xdaforums.com/search/70462367/?q=SM-G930A&c[title_only]=1&o=date

maybe one of those threads(scroll down) inhibit the info you need. I

bet its just the wrong file/model you try to flash.

After finding the exact correct file/version you need, it should work.

Did you try and read older tutorials, and look for some steps you are missing? Some of them still have functional downloads for the stick ROM.

Startpage Search Results

"Startpage.com - The world's most private search engine"

www.startpage.com

I guess its kind of try and error until it works, or you find a missing step/info in one of those threads/tutorials

I know how you feel :)

good luck...

I use my phone ONEPLUS3 as Hotspot / USB Tethering and when I keep it on for a long time like an hour or two it just gets itself a soft reboot and it hangs for that period till it softreboot happens this thing does not happen with other phones which have lying around like Samsung.

What I am supposed to do any help ?.

The Phone is running on Oxygen OS 9.0.6 Android 9 stock ROM
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] pitrus-:
As there won't be any updates to OxygenOS, your only possible solution is to switch to LineageOS or derivated ROM and hope tethering over USB works better.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] vikasbharaj30@gmail.com:
it happens on both hotspot and USB tethering
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] pitrus-:
Can't really tell if this is normal bug on OxygenOS, my OP3 has been sitting in a box in the basement for three months, and even before that I always flashed LineageOS to get updated system and I for sure never had problems with wifi hotspot on LineageOS 15/16.

I've tried deep flash cable first, but it didn't work, then I've tried Test Points, no device appeared in devmgmt.msc, Problem was made when I was resizing system partition, I made a mistake probably in inputting storage sectors. I've got a theory that that deep flash cable damaged data transmission and that why I cannot enable edl using Test points.

PS: I have unlocked bootloader and EDL authorized account as well.

Could you give an advice what to do, please? :)

Hey guys,

If I get a phone that supports BB Connect or a Diamond ROM that does, what else do I need to get this service working? Would I need to subscribe to something from my Telco and pay for the service every month?

Hi,

I have a Trinity - P3600 with a Bepe Rom and it works perfekt with bbc_4.0.0.97. :)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Blob8me:
This post is "kinda" in the wrong place, but....

The Trinity is not the Diamond - At present bbconnect DOES NOT work with any Diamond Roms. Many of the Rom Chef's have stated that they will look at this when they have time and Walshieau has promised both a working Rom and the possibility of a new "special" bbconnect release for Diamond but we'll have to wait and see - these guys are busy and its not easy work?

My advice would be to monitor the forums and look for any updates - there is a specific Thread for Blackberry updates - see link bellow:

Hope this helps....

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] angriest:
Hi,

I've just bought a secondhand Mi 9 (my original Mi 9 screen broke when I dropped it :mad:), but when trying to unlock the bootloader, I get this message:

[IMG="couldn't unlock"]https://imgur.com/79J5Qqm.jpg[/IMG]

which google tells me means the phone has been locked by account 157***980 'by looking for the phone and cannot be unlocked'.

I take this to mean that the phone was linked to the Mi account 157***980 by the original owner, and therefore can't be unlocked using the Mi Unlock software.

Is this right or is there any way around this? I'll have to return the phone to the ebay seller I bought it off (I don't think they were the original owner, so wouldn't be able to delink the phone).

Just to be clear, this isn't a question about circumventing the wait time to unlock - it's asking about the above situation.

Thanks in advance.

----------------

EDIT: It turned out that was my account - I seem to have two, one associated with my phone number, and one for my email address - trying for a third time sorted it out for me. Gah. Mods, please feel free to delete this thread as I don't think this question will be useful to others.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProtonCar:
Hi everybody,

I recently got an S6 edge in my hands and wanted to flash Lineage OS (as I'm already familiar to it). I found this site:

https://www.los-legacy.de/

Does anybody know if the ROM developpers are known and if the ROMs are as safe and secure as the official builds were? I would really appreciate an experience report as I am still very insecure about those ROMs.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] becho21:
all custom roms here have three big bugs and that's echo on call,bad camera and battery drain so if use daily then stay on stock rom or use stock based like marduck or ultimate nougat 3.1 is great too which is based on port from s8
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProtonCar:
Hi becho, thanks for your information. I wasn't aware that the echo on call bug is in every custom ROM - thats a good advice for me. I'll go for a stock based ROM as you suggested.

My roms are safe because they are created with a private key and not with a test key from lineageos.

I need to check then. Because prime video does not mention resolution but just adjectives like good, better, best. Need to manually compare the quality.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] hrishi92:
When you're viewing in 1080p in PrimeVideo it has a small logo on the bottom left corner - 'HD'.

Thats how you know you're playing 1080P.

Generally phones that have Widevine L1 get 1080p streaming on PrimeVideo/Netflix.

YouTube on the other hand doesn't care about any of those.

[Windows RT General] tobiasvanc:
Did you start with the clean recovered 8.1? And also rebooted after disabling the UAC? Did not connect the new installation to the internet? And run the InstallPolicy.cmd as administrator?

Could you please verify that you executed all these steps, and maybe re-run them?
[Windows RT General] Driv:
Oh no. Everytime I go into recovery and try to recover from the USB it just restart into recovery Mode. I can choosen to recover from Disk and USB but i cant chose for example the D:/ drive..

I just "cleaned" Windows rt without wiping data.
[Windows RT General] tobiasvanc:
I first had the same problem. I booted the recovery mode (starting while holding screen-windows-button, vol up and press power), then "Use a device" and tried all the USB devices showing up until I was lucky it rebooted to a different recovery screen. As far as I remember this recovery from the USB drive had less options in the menu. There were indeed no clear options to select like D:/ or USB drive, SD card, SSD partition 1. Would have made it easier. So I would suggest to try all the options in the "Use a device" menu with the recovery USB inserted.
[Windows RT General] Driv:
Can you please post a Screenshot or a photo of the Yoga running Windows 10?

Surely, I've opened up "About PC" and 'msinfo32' and made a picture of my device:

Also I've rechecked the recovery booting of the device:

First picture, Booting the device using the 'onboard' recovery (got to this screen using the windows 10 installation and rebooted to recovery menu (advanced startup), not so sure using volume up/windows still goes into recovery):

Second and third picture, a prompt for a keyboard layout when booting from the USB drive. In my case the 'correct' USB Drive to use in the previous recovery menu 'Use a device' was the one at the bottom right.

I used a USB drive with an indication LED so I could see when it was being read (also booting to the recovery took significantly longer)

[Windows RT General] Anyparktos:
Quick question, what did you do exactly to get internet access to the yoga 11 while no drivers where installed(when keyboard, wifi drivers etc. don't work)? Because to use a usb wifi adapter you'd need to install it's setup, which doesn't work because it's rt and it doesn't support it. So how did you exactly get internet access? Did your usb bluetooth adapter not need a setup? And also, do you know why usb tethering doesn't work? My only usb wifi adapter doesn't work because of the above reasons, so I tried tethering trough usb with my phone, but it would just show up as an unkown device with RNDIS as the name, and it wouldn't work(still no internet). Could you please help me out?
[Windows RT General] tobiasvanc:
In my case the USB Bluetooth adapter just worked. I think another wifi adapter should also work. You need a device which works with the generic drivers which are included. I think USB tethering requires some drivers that are not included by default and therefore need windows update/an internet connection.

I suggest you try another USB Bluetooth/wifi adapter and maybe borrow one somewhere. You can also try to force install the generic driver on the wifi adapter you have laying around, it may work.. I have no hopes for USB tethering.
[Windows RT General] Anyparktos:
Hi again,

Thanks for your answer last time.

If it's no bother, could I ask which bluetooth/wifi adapter you used?
