Hi All,
I have a moderate experience in flashing firmwares and modding my samsung devices over the years.
I have recently purchased an S7 which is unfortunately a SM-G930V model, i thought it would have been the SM0G930F which would have made life much easier.
I want to know if it is possible to get the original Australian firmware or even generic stock firmware on this device?
My issue is with the network settings where i have manually put in APN settings my match my carrier and 4G coverage in australia.
If not am i able to just flash a different baseband to this device preferably Australian?
I have read that flashing a different model firmware will soft brick the device, i just want some insight before i start breaking things, also what are my options.
Much appreciated, thanks, Will
You have the snapdragon s7, you can't flash the exynos 930f firmware on it, you can only flash the american firmware. You might have luck with the 930u unbranded firmware just do some research on it.
Thanks mate,
I'm going to flash this firmware using ODIN, do you know if it will be successful?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/xda-community-love-g930u-t3415875
not sure how to check my bootloader version etc
No clue, goto the verizon subforum and see if anyone flashed the 930u firmware on their 930v.
Just tried to flash the firmware to my phone and recieved an error, the phone is now stuck at download mode with error:
sw rev check fail : [system] fused 3 > binary 4
this means the bootloader won't accept the firmware?
LOL, guess ill try another firmware.. Any ideas?
I have bought a Samsung Galaxy S7 in China. It comes with Chinese firmware (has English language though) but mostly with Chinese software, bloatware and without Google play store. So it does not sync with Google, searches go through Baidu, I can't find and install most apps so it's essentially not very fun to use.
So i want to replace the firmware with any US firmware like G930A, G930U etc. I personally think its possible cause Chinese S7 has Snapdragon 820 chipset like US S7. So basically the hardware of Chinese & US variants of S7 are same.
Just i need a proper step by step guide or ODIN tutorial to make this change. I am really tired of Chinese apps and bloatware. So please guys help me to get ride out of this. Please.
updato.com has all the firmwares for the various models and countries, and it has a step by step guide for flashing with Odin.

Boot into download mode, whatever model it says in there is the one you can flash new firmware for, do not try flashing firmware for the wrong model S7 or you can brick it
Exceptions are G930V can use G930U firmwares, and FD can use F firmware, I am not aware of any others
I recommend SamMobile for the firmware download and Odin for flashing it.
Read carefully the flashing instructions.
There are many threads with tutorials, we'll not going to post another tutorial here. Just use the search button and you'll find all the information you need about flashing with Odin.

I know how to flash with ODIN. But i wanted to change my firmware. My S7's model is SM-G9300 which is for Chinese open model. But in this model, there is no google apps and lots of bloatware everywhere. So i wanna replace it with any US firmware specially with SM-930U firmware. Cause i heard it gives smooth performance and bloatware less.

i saw some user changed their S7's G930A or G930V firmware with G930U firmware because of all the US model of S7 has snapdragon's hardware setup. That's why i am interested cause my G9300 also has snapdragon's hardware though it Chinese model. I know i can't flash exynos firmware in snapdragon's model because its completely different hardware setup.
So i wanted to know did anybody can successfully changed their G9300(Chinese) firmware with any US firmware? If did then what's the process? Or how can i replace it? Is there any way to do that without ODIN like with 'dongle' or 'magic flash box'? These are my queries.

I already explained, only 1-2 devices have other model firmwares that are compatible, yours is not one of them, nothing to do with hte snapdragon hardware, bootloader etc is different and will BRICK
See here for TWRP and try custom / root to get Google services

Hi,
I bought Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930S from the store which was converted into SM-G930FD as I was not having Korean sick apps installed in my mobile and there was no Korean logo of "BANDLTE" while switching off and switching on, when I saw my phone model name it was SM-G930FD and was supporting dual sim both had a same IMEI. But when I restarted my mobile after getting home phone got locked with this message "Custom Binary Blocked By FRP Lock" so decided to got into boot menu there I saw SMG930S written so i flashed mobile with SKT Korean firmware of smg930s but when I installed it I got tons of Korean apps and getting "BANDLTE" logo while switching off and on my phone I lost that Samsung Original logo which I had when my phone was converted into smg930fd. Now I want to switch back to Smg930fd settings/firmware so get rid of these Korean apps and Model to be appear as SMG930FD as the back of my Samsung Galaxy s7 glass has a phone model SMG930FD. I don't know Shopkeeper scammed me or what I told him I wanted to buy SMG930FD but he gave me this converted phone Kindly help me to get back to SMG930FD firmware/settings

The same experience... If you are not on Oreo, I advice you to stay on Nougat or even Marshmallow.
Although this post has been posted for a long time but I still want to ask you that how did you get the g9300 device rooted properly?
Hello amazing XDA devs,
I need a bit of advise and help with flashing oreo firmware on my device. I have already done a lot of research already but have failed to find any satisfactory answer. So here is my story,
I purchased my galaxy s8+ from korea. Model number is G955N. I wasn't able to get volte signal on it hence, rooted it and changed the csc to India.
In the process I also had to update my BL to AQL3.
I am now trying to flash an indian firmware on my korean device. i.e. installing SM-G955FD firmware on SM-G955N device. I undestand hardware of both the devices (korean and indian) are same. So, there should not be any problem in this cross flashing of firmware. However, ODIN doesn't allow this.
Here are my few queries which I hope you can help me with
1) Would it allow me to flash *FD firmware on *N device if I use prince comsy odin or some other custom odin?
2) Do I need to flash *N oreo BL if I decide to flash any other custom oreo rom which supports F/FD/N variants?
3) Where can I find *N oreo BL and AP to flash if only option is to install custom oreo rom?
4) If I flash oreo firmware for *N variant, would I loose my csc changes and I will have to start all process again to get back volte signal?
I know this is a long list of question. But, I am sure a lot of people have these queries and it will help all of them in understanding the process and upgrade their devices if these questions can be answered.
Would appreciate your help on this matter.
Thanks,
I got it..just flashed the oreo rom from twrp and everything seems to be working fine.
hello. which custom did you flash ? also need it. thanks
I have my G955N made 2 sims aleady.
I observed that the developer did the following steps:
1. They made it support 2 sims: IMEI guru software
2. They flashed custom that supported G955X:Renovate ICE in xda
3. They changed 1 slot sim tray with 2 slot sim trays.
4. I observed that BL and CP are of G955N but AP and CSC are else from G955X.
Thanks?.
My wife works in a hospital and we used wifi calling because reception was poor.
It's still poor with Tmobile but no wifi calling. When we moved from At&t the wifi
option was greyed out. Tmobile states that it works fine on their network.
Is there any way to get a samsung s7 g930a and a samsung j7-j727a to use wifi calling
on the Tmobile network?
I'm sure it will probably involve something over my pay grade but I am willing to try
anything needed to get this feature to work

If your current firmware has WiFi calling (Volte) You can only use Volte if the network supports it. There are however many apps you can use for WiFi calling look on the play store.
Not sure what volte is, I have had some other issues with the
service that I thought might be resolved by installing a
different rom
Tell me if i'm wrong
Thanks

Volte is wi fi calling over a network which the network operator supports without the need for a specific app.
Please tell me exactly what you are trying to do
What network are both phones using?
Which networks were the phones on initially?
Have you modified the phones in any way? Root? or TWRP?
What firmware are both phones currently using? Go to Settings>about phone>software information>baseband version G930A????
Sorry for not getting back sooner
Both phones are currently on Tmobile network
Both phones were originally on At&t network
No modification
Samsung s7 g930a baseband version G930AUCS8CRL1
Samsung j7-j727a baseband version J727AUCS4BRL1
Note: Wifi calling was available on original at&t network but is now greyed out on tmobile network

Ok since wi fi calling is network specific (some have it some don't) you either need to have unbranded firmware on your phone so it works no matter which network is providing it, or you need to now flash T Mobile firmware for it to work again on your phone.
US networks are a nightmare when it comes to this sort of thing and it's a right pain in the a** to solve it. So what you need to search for now on here is how to flash different firmware on AT&T S7. You should always try to flash unbranded firmware so everything works easily, if not it will have to be T Mobile Oreo.

Ok, If you think unbranded is the best way to go can you point me in the right direction
updato.com and sammobile.com both host firmware and have flash guides. SamFirmTool also is good for downloading firmware, but only lets you download the latest version and isn't as user friendly.
For unbranded you'll want to look for G930U firmware.
For best compatibility you flash all 4 files using (AP,BL,CP,CSC) this will wipe the phone clean. Otherwise you can try Home_CSC instead of CSC (So AP, BL, CP, Home_CSC) , which keeps your data but may not fully resolve your issues.

What beanvee has said but I think it's worth mentioning I find Sam Firm tool pretty straight forward to use and you'll always get the firmware in separate parts which can be useful.
I found a link for the G930A here
I'm not really understanding the differences in firmware. How is flashing with this firmware
any different than what's on the phone right now?
I am just trying to get the wifi calling to work, How is flashing it with at&t version firmware going
to help me on the tmobile network.
I guess I don't know what I need, stock, unbranded, official or custom rom.
I checked all sites listed and there is no firmware for the J727a, alternative?
I would rather someone more knowledgeable guess what I need to do, if that is what is
necessary because the phones are no good to me without that feature. Any suggestions
would be appreciated.
Each carrier deploys their own CSC file, which contains carrier specific configurations, and its this file that determines if VoLTE or VoWIFI is enabled and how it connects.
AT&T may have different VoWIFI settings to TMobile, which is why using AT&T firmware it doesn't work. Some carriers outright disable it since they don't offer it.
Your best bet would be G930T firmware https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=SM-G930T&rpp=15&order=date&dir=desc&exact=1
However unbranded G930U should also work because the unbranded firmware is meant to work on all cariers. G930A would likely get you no where since it'll be AT&T specific
The phones in the USA are all identical hardware under the hood, the only difference is the carrier branding and firmware.
But that's only for the S7, I'm not familiar with the J7.
And it's not through lack of knowledge @JohnAtlas, US phones are a nightmare to do anything with. There are several options available but it's difficult to explain what to do and how to do if you are not familiar with how the software works.
There are many guides on how to unlock the software on all US networks, and depending on the network can include multiple steps to complete, you just have to search and read.
Ok, I was able to find the latest firmware for the G930 phone
I installed odin and have the files, BL, AP, CP, and CSC or Home CSC
My question is, Do I load all files and then start or do one file at a time in odin
I tried all files the first time and got failed error and dismatch

That is the system recovery and when you flash with Odin you need to put your phone in download mode first press volume down+home+power. The phone should not go to that screen you have posted either before or after Odin, its a completely different recovery mode.
Get your firmware from updato. Com or sammobile
G930U, filter by USA and choose the latest XAA or USC and use the modified version of Odin. We know this works because thousands of people have used it to do what you are trying to do.
Thanks for info, I used G930U TMK version since we are on Tmobile carrier
It seems to be working fine and wifi calling is available
There is no TMK version for the J727U but will try the XAA for the other phone
The way I understand it is that the U means unlocked and the XAA is generic and not carrier specific
Please advise if I'm not on the right track
Thanks for your help

That's brilliant , glad your up and running.
So the letter "U"after the "G930" denotes the region of the world the device is build to operate in, the Americas just happens to be U. The unbranded firmware is the one that has a region but no network assigned to it, so a 3 letter code is used instead, in your case its USC, or XAA.
Europe is G930"F" or "FD" and the 3 letter code for unbranded is BTU & XEA.
Anyway if your phone is running great on T Mobile then don't update it anymore, turn auto update off. The advantage of keeping it T Mobile is you have the wifi calling, the unbranded firmware needs more fiddling around with the get the wifi calling working on the network your using, so best to stick with what works.
I will have a look for firmware for the J7 you have to see if i can recommend doing something with it to get the wifi calling working.
*update*
So it seems the J727 is the same as the J7 in terms of the internal components, everything is the same in both models so that's great news. I think the "27" bit is just a marketing thing.
In theory you should be able to flash the latest T Mobile Oreo to your device from this link https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-j7-pop/SM-J727T/TMB/download/J727TUVS4BRK1/249137/
Now before we start please check / do the following to avoid further problems.
1. Save everything you need from the phone to your pc.
2. Check that you have OEM unlocked in "developer settings" and "USB debug" enabled.
3. developer setting menu is, settings>about phone>software and information>build number>tap 7 or 8 times, developer menu should now appear. (Sometimes it's somewhere else but build number is what you want to find and tap on 7-8 times).
4. To avoid any issues with device FRP lock, delete your google account off the phone., settings>accounts>google. delete it. When successfully flashed you just add the account again when the phone starts for the first time by signing in.
5. Use the same version of Odin you used to flash your S7.
you can also use updato.com (i think it's slightly faster than sammobile.)
Let me know how you get on.
Remember J727T (TMB) is the firmware you want.
Greetings,
I am a new user here. I just bought Galaxy S10e and I really like the phone, but the problem is that I ordered it from USA (I live in the Republic of Georgia). Originally the phone was from AT&T, but the seller had it unlocked for any GSM carriers and it works fine with my Georgian sim card. The only problem is that I do not receive any software updates. It is stuck on Android 9 and One UI 1.0. When I try to check for updates, it says that my software is up to date. The same happens with Smart Switch.
I tried Frija and Odin. My CSC is G970UOYN1ASD9 and PDA is G970USQS1ASD9. There is no way to download firmware for my own country's CSC, because there is no firmware for SM-G970U (Snapdragon chipset), in Georgia they only sell Exynos ones officially. So, I tried to find updates with CSC ATT in Frija and it does not give me anything. I tried XAA and XAS (which is for unlocked phones) and still nothing. I tried TMK (I think it is for MetroPCS) and USC (This one is for US Cellular) and also TMB (T-Mobile) and they do have Android 11 firmware. But now I am afraid I will break something if I install above mentioned firmware to my device. Or maybe I will not break anything by changing the CSC, but maybe there is also a chance that if I install the above mentioned ones, the phone will get locked on these carriers and I won't be able to use my sim card. Is logical, or am I just overthinking it?
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
don't flash your nations CSC- that shouldn't matter. Snapdragons LTE bands should be good enough to work internationally
go and reflash a USC or XAA rom with patched ODIN... I had to do this for my phone and OTA started working once it was on the correct CSC
you could even flash it to the latest firmware if you wanted too.

Thank you for your answer.
What do you mean by correct CSC? I believe, my phone is on correct CSC now. I have already pasted it and in about phone > Software information > Service Provider it says ATT/ATT/ATT. But it seems that ATT doesn't receive updates outside US.
I cannot seem to find firmware for XAA/XAS, there is one for USC but I have already downloaded TMK. Is there any difference if I install USC or TMK? (TMK is MetroPCS).

Greetings,
I have already updated to Android 11 using U1 XAA firmware and it works great. I used Frija and then Odin if anyone wants do to do this. Weird thing happened though - when I flashed the firmware and when Odin did it's job, the laptop suddenly shut down and I couldn't turn it back on. I had to disassemble it and unplug the integrated battery, plug it back on and fortunately it turned on again.
As far as your question goes, I am sorry but I cannot check it since I am already on Android 11.

Hi GSamkh,
I am experiencing the same issue as you, purchased an AT&T branded SM-G970U for use in Australia. After you flashed to Android 11 using U1 XAA firmware, do you now receive OTA updates? cheers
