how would I pull those from a canadian let say koodo firmware ? or if you can't explain because it would be to difficult, is there somewhere I might be able to learn such a feat ? For some reason I flashed the at&t modules to get wifi working for hyperdrive and no matter what method I use samsung switch, kies3, or odin I can't make my baseband update. I'm about to pull out all my hair... baseband stuck at ni1 and I can't update it. I'm a koodo client running 5.0.1 stuck on baseband ni1 if that makes any difference.

In a rooted stock ROM navigate to /system/lib/modules/ and copy all the files (should be two I think) from there. Insert them into a flashable zip (just take mine, delete the two files and paste the ones from your device) and flash it.
Hello,
Just bought a topaz blue unlocked S6. I think it came from an Asian country. The phone arrived perfectly with plastic in box with the same IMEI as phone. However it was rooted with SU. I went into the app and clicked to remove root. It was on 5.0.2. They I tried to flash original firmware with Smart Switch with no success.
I used odin to flash stock 5.1.1 firmware from the UK. The firmware was for 920F. It went all good. I have LTE, SMS and phonecalls. However, sometimes the baseband appears as unknown, but I still can make calls and have LTE. And it still shows the same IMEI as it is on the box and it has always shown it. Is there a way to fix this? Now, I try to flash stock firmware with Smart Switch and it says it can't initialize.
I would REALLY appreciate help. I would love to be able to flash stock firmware from Smart Switch.
I'm in México with Telcel, which uses the same bands as AT&T.
P.S. I really searched and couldn't find anything on my specific situation.
That happened to me when I was still on 5.0.2 and flashed only the 5.1.1 modem. I would suggest downloading the modem.tar file and flash that. Should all be good after that.
I'm currently downloading G920FXXU1AOD4 BTU firmware to flash it with Odin. Might that help me better? My main goal is to be 100% stock without any weirdness. And having Smart Switch recognize my phone!
Well, I'm sad.

You cannot downgrade to 5.0.2 from 5.1.1. Your bootloader will not support. I have the issue with 3G connection. Where to get the Modem.tar?
OK, no matter what method I try I am unable to achieve a successful flash of my phone. I have tried it via odin with many different firmware versions but all seem to fail almost immediately. The only way to resolve this is to use samsung switch and reset phone to stock. The problem is stock firmware is german vodafone full of vodafone bloatware, I want to get rid of it and flash a UK unbranded firmware but no matter what I do I am unable to achieve this. I can see from the forum that there are many people out there with the same flashing problem but with no real responses on how to achieve the goal. There must be people out there that have achieved this task but don't seem to be offering up much help?
ok

Is your phone international unlocked out of the box? I dont believe it was, because as far as I've read international unlocked phones come with "unbranded" firmware. The unlocked ones I know can be pretty much flashed with "any" international firmware, which is what you are trying to do.
If you dont know for sure. Odin the stock German Vodaphone. Let the phone boot. Boot back to stock recovery, then factory reset and clear cache.
Then let the phone boot...Download phone info app by vndnguyen (free version is fine)...Open the app, go to CSC Code tab. Then that will tell you the active CSC code and your firmware CSC code...you are looking for the line that says Available CSC Codes. If it only lists German Vodaphone (VD2), then I believe you are stuck til the phone is unlocked.
Anyone, jump in here if I'm mistaken. I am using this as reference as, I've checked my G920F. Mine is unlocked tho and I can flash any firmware from any region with no problem. Hopefully I've answered your question.
I had no luck with the firmwares on the firmware page either.
If you are on OI9 check http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/guide-android-6-0-marshmallow-beta-how-t3277533
And try flashing the first stock firmware https://drive.google.com/folderview...sharing&tid=0B40ItdHKfkyQd1hJQXVDU3dDU2c#list (not the android M one!) via ODIN.
Basic process is:
Download the above file, extract, there should be 4 files inside (AP,BL,CP,CSC), simply select each one to go in the relevant box on ODIN, then go into download mode on your phone and click start...
N.B. Be aware that the above firmware contains a PIT file which will reformat and resize the partitions on your phone, so make sure you have a copy of the stock firmware that works before trying the flash (i.e. the one which Smart Switch downloads). You can grab it from your windows %TEMP% directory during the smart switch download (it first downloads a file to TMPxxx, then extracts it into a directory of the same name, its these files you want. They should be the four files beginning with the type of ODIN file you are flashing (AP,BL,CP,CSC). The files get deleted after the firmware has flashed so make sure you watch the process. If things go wrong you can re-flash these files via ODIN
As far as I was led to believe and when I purchased the phone it did state factory unlocked. I was able to put in any sim when I received it and didn't have to go through any aftermarket unlock process?
I have the same problem i have a unlocked G-920F with egyptian CSC and firmware 5.1.1 .when i try to flash BTU 5.1.1 via odin, i have the same problem and only way to recover is via smart switch.BTU firmware is from sammobile

Any ideas?
Ok, tried to get stock firmware when samsung smart switch was downloading and installing but couldn't see where the firmware was being downloaded to? Tried windows temp etc but nothing appeared during download and install?

Just type in %TEMP% into you windows explorer address bar and it will take you there. arrange by date modified and you will see the size ticking up during the download, before the flash starts it will extract into a folder with the same name, the md5 files can be grabbed from there
No probs here

Ok, Got it this time, all four files. Will give the method above a go and if it fails at least I've got the stock firmware to fall back on?
Magic, have had great success. Now on the BTU firmware and everything is up and running. Got the stock as well just in case but if this continues to work won't be reinstalling stock. So a big thanks to those who helped

Glad you are sorted
I have a Galaxy s6 SM-G920W8 which I originally bought from WindMobile in Canada. I switched Carriers to Koodo so when I did that I changed the CSC to Koodo's.
I have not yet received the OTA yet and I wanna get onto MM.
How can I do that, and after i do it will i still be able to receive OTA/Updates in the future?
My phone is not rooted.
Important thing: I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE ANY DATA ON THE PHONE. When I changed CSC's I didn't know it would wipe all my data, that was horrible.
Just download one of 6.0.1 firmware with your device's carrier, connect your phone to PC in download mode and flash the firmware via Odin3 v3.11.1
You can get Odin3 v3.11.1 here;

Finally on marshmallow
Has anyone successfully (or have any info regarding) converted from a SM-G930U (7.0) to a SM-G930T (8.0)?
I have a completely stock, working S7 SM-G930U (that I previously converted from SM-G930V), updated to the latest Unlocked 7.0 version. I was eager to get Oreo, but didn't want to wait for 930U firmware so decided to just switch to the T-mobile version because I'm on a T-mobile MVNO. However, when I tried just flashing the G930T files with Odin it fails right after the "emmc_appsboot.mbn.lz4" step (whatever that is). This made the phone unbootable and would just boot loop.
I was able to successfully recover the phone by re-flashing the G930U files again after downloading from Updato. So the phone is working again, but I'm right back where I started.
So, my question is: Is there something different that I should be doing, or some other secret to go from U -> T, with the intent of getting Oreo? Would it work if I flashed the 7.0 version of 930T, then taken the OTA update?
Edit: As indicated in the responses below, the solution is the latest Odin version (3.13.1), and I successfully converted. Good luck!

You need to update your Odin. Oreo ROMs use a new compression format that your old Odin can't handle.

Update to what? I was using 3.12.7.
Edit: OK, looks like I found it. 3.13.1 is for Oreo, etc. Thanks for the heads-up.
Hi. I have the same Verizon s7 and have also got a 930u rom on it but I am desperate for Oreo. Have you managed to successfully flash the 930t oreo rom? And if so where did you download it from?

Yes, I was successful. You can get the firmware from Updato here: https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=SM-G930T&exact=1&r=&v=Oreo(Android+8.0.0)&rpp=15
But ignore their update instructions, as they are outdated and meant for Nougat and below. You need Odin 3.13.1, from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/guide-flash-oreo-g955fxxu1crb7-using-t3755789.
If you try with an older Odin version it will soft-brick your device (as I found). Otherwise flashing instructions are simple and the same as when you switched to 930U.
Great thanks. I will try it!
I can't get it to start. I've loaded up the firmware into odin, connected the phone in download mode and it won't start flashing. What could I be doing wrong and is it worth doing anyway?

I can't tell you if it's worth it (I think it is). But you also need the Samsung USB drivers installed on your PC, and you need USB debugging turned on, etc. Make sure you have a working connection before flashing.
It worked. Thanks!
Does it has the whole bloatware thing???
I'm still gonna flash it, but I wanna know, cuz I'm not in my house right now, and also is it laggy???

Define "bloatware thing". There's like half a dozen T-mobile apps, plus a small handful of other "pre-installed" things like Whatsapp, etc. Virtually all of them can be disabled. The only one I've found that can't is the official T-mobile account app. But I just cleared the apps data, and never use it. I'm not logged in or anything, so it sits there idle.
Regarding "laggy", I can't really say. It works as well as Nougat did. And I think I can say the battery life is definitively better.

U firmware is just firmware without carrier bloat. You can flash any carrier on an unlocked phone. I provided the link to my thread with the official TMobile Oreo stock files just get Odin. https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm.../sm-g930t-official-stock-oreo-update-t3810449
hello. I had flashed my smg930a with smg930U firmware. after that everytime I restarted my mobile, it showed error " no network connection " sometimes it picked up network after a restart and sometimes it picked up network after weeks. Tried flashing smg930a firmware again but the error remains same. Now i flashed it with smg930t firmware hoping the error will end but it shows "searching" and I've no network connection.
any help will be great.
Hi, there's bloatware and it's mildly annoying as is the t-mobile splash screen and sound effect. I'll switch bach to 930u when Oreo is available. You'll also have no data toggle swith in the shortcuts when you pull the screen down. However, I added mine using adb. You can also uninstall programs uing adb but I haven't. If anyone has the adb script for removing t-mobile apps I'd be greatful if they'd post it.

Call your network provider or carrier and see if they can change the settings or to make sure your data settings are set up right. Things like apn settings, network, etc.

What network SIM are you using? You kind of need to match the firmware with the carrier you are using, as it enable certain radios. That being said, the 930U should work universally. If it doesn't, then you probably didn't update or use the right APN settings to enable LTE. You'll have to do some online searching to look for the appropriate APN settings for your carrier, especially if you are using a firmware version that doesn't match your carrier.
