Canadian ROOT? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dying to root my SM-G920W8 but Chainfire hasn't posted the files for our model. Has anyone succesfully rooted Canadian variant with a T-Mobile Chainfire autoroot file?
Thanks
EDIT: 920F Works for rooting! Bingo!

Hey just wondering are you on Rogers or a different canadian carrier? Was trying to use my Rogers S6 but it keeps failing on the write portion. Thanks!

It works on all Canadian carriers. Make sure you're using the latest version of Odin (3.10.6).

Hey great to hear! also have a sm-g920w8 (canada, FIDO) , did you loose files and apps during the rooting process? Does it reset the phone to factory?
have you experienced any issues at all using 920F on 920w8 ?
Thanks!

So factory reset kept the root, however caused all your info (apps/files) to be erased?

CF-Auto-Root didn't cause me any issues with Google or other apps, but it did kill deep sleep. I flashed back the stock recovery and cleared the cache and now everything works 100%.

Doesn't wipe data. The 920F root works for Rogers after OTA.

I want to do it but so hesitant.... It took courage when I used G925F root files on my G925W... but was successful.... worried about G920W.... as I already screwed a G920F......

Sorry new here
I have tried rooting my S6 edge with rogers I have latest odin 3.10.7 I used the proper kernel for my GSM925 w8......it failed.....when I put it in developer mode I see the video I saw he had an OEM on/off I don't see that for me just USB debugging. Anyone piont me in right direction or see my error?
Again sorry if I have posted wrong spot.
just tried again just in case.....custom binary(boot) blocked by a/l????

I have successfully rooted my Samsung Galaxy S6 from Rogers using the Skipsoft software.
I've been using a custom ROM while waiting for Rogers to upgrade to Marshmallow.
I understand Rogers is sending out updates now...Can anyone tell me whether or not I need to return to Stock to get the upgrade download?
thanks

Switched Carriers

Hello,
I recently unlocked my phone and switched my services from Bell Canada to Koodo. I bought the phone from Bell so it came
with some pre installed apps, myBell, etc. I was wondering if there was a way if I could remove these apps and replace them
with Koodo's or something. I flashed Koodo's firmware for Galaxy S6 5.1.1 to see if that would work, but no luck.
Thanks

Look for how to change your CSC code to the Koodo. This will factory reset you phone so back up as needed.

Never mind, I found that dialing *#272*imei#* will bring up a menu asking for you to choose the CSC you would like to change to.

Screwed up my SM-G930VL, please help!!

Hi,
I bought a SM-G930VL (tracphone branded, but verizon compatible) galaxy s7 for a pretty good price, however the advanced and wifi calling were not options (even though verizon told me they were before I purchased). I decided I would try to flash the VZW firmware from sammobile through odin, but it did not work. It originally gave me the ext4 error, but then flashing the csc fixed that. I then flashed the AP file, but it finished very quickly (about 3.5 min) and now will only boot into recovery when powered up.
Is there anything I can do to save my phone, or have I permanently screwed it up?
Thanks
holy sh*t got it working. Flashed the BL, AP, CP, and CSC files and it booted to welcome screen!!
Thanks all (and hopefully this helps anyone in the future who runs into this predicament)
It is currently checking wifi connection so hopefully all is well!
Edit: Is there a way to edit the title? That way this could be maybe help the next person rather than getting ignored.

Hi, want to ask a few questions. were you able to fully flash the Verizon firmware to this model with no issues? The phone is also supposed to be factory unlocked per my connections with reps.
Did the phone fully change to a SM-G930V, showing in settings and in Odin mode?
Yes I was able to fully flash Verizon and I have working wifi calling and advanced calling. In settings it shows up as V not VL as well. As far as I understand it is the exact same hardware just different software running on it

Great, i flashed one yesterday for a friend via teamviewer and even changed the model as SM-G930V in odin mode. So I guess due to this the phone has now a locked bootloader and ended up being converted to a full Verizon galaxy S7. Only thing it did not take his Metro PCS sim card. Unsure it would take any other carrier sim cards.

Was the boot loader originally unlockable? I was under the impression that all SD versions were locked down right. That's great that you got it to work also!

It seems it was as it allowed me to flash the verizon bootloader and full firmware. Normally tracfones only allow to flash part of a firmware and rejects all bootloader partitions.
Is bootloader locked after flash g930v firmware. Or can I flash back to straight talk?

There were reports of someone flashing the phone to an SM-G930U (Unlocked US S7). So apparently they are interflashable. I however have not gone to that extent as am yet to get my one to thinker with. I flashed previously to a SM-G930V via teamviewer for a friend. You can search the threads and verify.

You probably figured it by now, but MetroPCS is the only retarded carrier that locks SIM to IMEI. So if you want to use MetroPCS on any other phone than the one you currently have it on, you need to call customer service and give them your new phone's IMEI. Then your new phone will start working. If you want to switch back to your old MetroPCS phone you need to call them again and give them that IMEI, which is retarded. I don't know why they do that but it's really annoying if you frequently switch phones.
I have a 935V (S7 Edge Verizon) and now have 935U ROM on it using Tracfone. Initially I have Tracfone's Verizon service but I wanted the freedom to easily move from one phone to another so I converted it to a Tracfone-GSM(ATT) and been using it in my Verizon S7 Edge (with 935U ROM) and iPhone SE without any problem.

Could you add links to everything you used? I have the same model using straight talk and I want to be able to have a backup firmware to flash in case I ever mess up my phone (which seems to be a trend). And have you had any issues at all? Like, does everything work okay?

Samsung Galaxy S7 G930F with G930V Bootloader??

I recently bought S7 SM-G930F, but when I went into it's phone info and recovery, I saw that it has a Verizon bootloader. All the rest is of 930f. even the phone says 930f everywhere. I am not sure what this is. I am also facing some signal dropping issues, especially when I switch on to data network. I did the refurbishment check and it came out clean and original.
Can someone please guide me how to fix this? Perhaps a way to change the bootloader to that of 930F without screwing up the phone?
Please find the pics attached for reference.
Thanks in advance for the help.

you phone is a verizon see the snapdragon chipset and the baseband version
either you have flashed a phone with G930F kernel and rom
or whoever sold this to you tried to scam you
dont flash the F bootloader
Your phone is the verizon version which are much cheaper in comparison to the unlocked exynos variants
Flash verizon rom to get back proper caLL functions

Thanks for the response. I think I got scammed then. Two things though:
1) It somehow seemed to work the 1800 band for 4g, which is supported by 930F and not 930V I believe.
2) secondly, even the back of my phone says 930F .. like everything about it says 930F .. like is even the body changed??

Firmware - G930VVRS4BQC9
Process is simple if u know how to use odin its like regular flash.
And yes this firmware comes with all the verizon bad stuffs but good thing is that most of them can be disabled.I wouldnt care if i wanted to use Nought on my phone.
Still network signal is poor though.

No, that would 100% lead to a brick. If you're looking for a way to bypass the locked bootloader in order to flash TWRP, give up on that idea. There is no way around the locked bootloader on Verizon Samsung devices, many people have tried many, many, many different things, everything and anything you can possibly think of and absolutely nothing works. Flashing stuff isn't going to change that.

920v is a Verizon device, the Verizon stock firmware should have 4G LTE. What issues are you having? If you're on Verizon stock firmware and have a 4G LTE SIM inserted, you should be getting 4G service.
If you're using the device in a different country, you probably won't get the 4G working.
The only thing I can think of is, find out which 4G radio bands your service provider uses, them do some searching see which 920 firmware(s) support those 4G radio bands, then download the firmware and extract the modem.img from the firnware, then convert the modem.img into an Odin flashable .tar.md5 then flash the modem via Odin.

920v is a Verizon device, the Verizon stock firmware should have 4G LTE. What issues are you having? If you're on Verizon stock firmware and have a 4G LTE SIM inserted, you should be getting 4G service.
If you're using the device in a different country, you probably won't get the 4G working.
The only thing I can think of is, find out which 4G radio bands your service provider uses, them do some searching see which 920 firmware(s) support those 4G radio bands, then download the firmware and extract the modem.img from the firnware, then convert the modem.img into an Odin flashable .tar.md5 then flash the modem via Odin.

If flashing the original stock firmware does not fix the sensors, I don't know what to try from there.

After flashing the stock firmware, have you tried booting to stock recovery and factory reset in recovery then wipe cache partition?
Check to verify that your IMEI still displays in system settings.

Take that phone back to basics. Hook it up to Kies and restore it back to factory OS, then go from there. Report back.
