I have the Galaxy S7 (SM-G930P) from sprint, but im not currently living in the USA and i don't get the updates (plus the hands free activation doesn't work) can i update to the latest version G930PVPS2APG1 without problems? while keeping the phone unlocked to work in my country?
I've checked the file in sammobile but im not sure if its safe to install.
Also, if i update and i have problems, can i go back to the previous version to fix it? thanks.

So my cousin bought me a note 5 Verizon model from U.S , the thing is I think I get "software update is temporary unavailable"issue. a quick google concluded that I need a Verizon sim to get OTA updates . I was wondering is there any way I could update it without a Verizon sim , since I could no way get a Verizon sim in the U.K
Thanks

Take your current sim out and try Samsung Smartswitch. Download the one for the PC or Mac and give it a try. If that doesn't work manually update with Odin using these files. You might be out of luck for the monthly security patches but it's not a huge deal as far as I'm concerned.

Hi folks,
I have an American T-mobile factory unlocked Galaxy note edge (SM-N915T) that I use in the UK on Three's network.
I would like to flash an official unlocked international ROM, preferably with a Marshmallow, so I get faster updates (Tmobile is very slow at this) plus no additional Tmobile's widgets and apps.
Any suggestions? I tried flashing a BTU region N915FYXXU1DPC3 via odin but got an error, I imagine it is not compatible with my phone?
I have a S7 g930V that I moved over to T-mobile service. It still has the 6.0 Marshmallow since I no longer get the Samsung updates.
Can I flash the G930TUVU4BQH7 which is the t-mobile 7.0 firmware without bricking my phone?

Not only can you, but it's easily doable - I took my originally-VZW S7 (Snapdragon SoC and all) to the UnCarrier using that method.
1. Put the target S7 into download mode and grab the latest version of Odin. (You will lose your data.) Make sure you have a T-M or compatible nano SIM in the phone or no SIM at all.
2. Flash the latest SM-G930T (as in T-Mobile) firmware according to the directions.
3. The flash SHOULD be successful.
4. Restart the phone - following the new customer steps. (The setup should let you know about VoLTE. Unlike VZW, T-Mobile DOES let their MVNOs -- such as Tracfone - use VoLTE on their network; same applies to wi-fi calling.)
Both SamMobile and UPDATO have up-to-date firmware for T-Mobile S7s; the reason I prefer UPDATO is due to faster (much faster) transfer rates that do NOT require *premium* BS.
I don't see a guide/link on XDA on going specifically to 930T, just 930U. I'm also coming from 930V. Can you please provide the link?

The 930U steps work for 930T; the firmware choice is the only difference. The same steps apply for custom firmware based on stock (such as Project L).
Folks,
Happy 2018,
Quick one:
I bought a locked ATT SM-G955U & reflashed it to a SM-G955U1 (currently on the latest December Security update) but the issue here is that despite doing this and eliminating ATT bloatware my phone continues to show Service Provider SW Ver. 9889544437594c3958 XAA//ATT
My buddy have an unlocked SM-G955U1 out of the box & there is no Service Provider information on his phone settings. He also gets all updates via OTA without issues, whereas I need to flash using ODIN manually which is not an issue for me but will be easier to get the OTA updates.
My phone is almost perfect but is there any possibility of flashing the specific CSC file for the SM-G955U1 on my SM-G955U transformed to a SM-G955U1?
I guess this was explained clearly.
Thanks for your support. XDA is the best.
SW, if listed as xaa/xaa/att...is what you wanted. The last three are always hardwired. I bought a T-Mobile U1 and switched it to Verizon. So mine now says vzw/vzw/tmo. If I read correctly in previous postings, you may still be forced to update manually, if on ATT. I believe...
If you flashed the files correctly in ODIN, then you wont see the provider version at all. It doesn't appear in the unlocked firmware. And you'll also get OTAs just fine. I know, because I bought a VZW 955U and flashed it with the unlocked 955U1 software.
Yup I can confirm too. I flashed the unlocked firmware to my spring g955u.
I can get OTA updates same with unlocked phone
Precisely .. I need to flash the correct one...
Where do I get the unlocked firmware ?

Did you use regular ODIN or the modded Odin?
Where do you get the unlocked firmware from?
I got it from sammobile & the SW version persists

Hello everyone, this is my first post here.
I have a slight problem. I have an unlocked verizon Note 10+ 5G SM-976V and I changed CSC to GCF a while back because the verizon CSC had bloatware.
Now i have GCF/GCF/VZW. Im stuck on March 1 2020 security patch. The phone works great and everything is working well. I want to upgrade to android 11. That is somewhat not possible because when i try to upgrade from my phone it says, 'Your current software version isnt supported. Visit a service center.'
What firmware is for me? How can i get an firmware that can fix my usual updates? Or if i have upgrade firmware on odin, what version should i be choosing?
I do not live in the US anymore, phone was unlocked on verizon. All sims seem to be working on it. Attaching the files necessary for your study. Please help?

Have a look here for official ota updates from Verizon: https://www.verizon.com/support/samsung-galaxy-note-10-plus-5g-update/
If it does not work and you have an unlocked bootloader, you can flash latest stock firmware with Odin on pc.
