Need working firmware - Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers

I want to start with saying sorry I'm not very savvy in this stuff so forgive me ahead of time. My little sister was goofing off with me phone trying to mess stuff up and somehow managed to do a full wipe including removing all firmware from my phone. My phone carrier sent me to samsung who told me they have no records of my model number ever even existing so they aren't able to re-flash my phone. I eventually found a rom online and flashed it but this one won't connect to data for internet. The model number is SM-J700M and it's a Samsung Galaxy J7. Please help! I don't care what fancy features the Rom comes with or if it's rooted or not I just want my phone to work again

Flashing different model firmware onto G930VL

Hello,
I bought a G930VL (Straight-Talk) S7 a few months ago, but I'd like to use it on a different service, specifically ting, to save money.
I have read about others flashing the G930V firmware onto the G930VL and successfully using the phone on Verizon.
I'm unsure of what model firmware to flash however to make it work with ting (G930V vs G930U vs G930F), or where to find a guide I can follow to go about doing this.
Thanks for any help,
Matt

All I know is the U software is way better after ya locate a way to unlock the bootloader on the phone so it wouldnt interferes with other security part and lock ya from using it at all bricked software iv'e done it with a galaxy proclaim a while back and I really love it without cell service preinstalled locked bloatware tht ya cant completely uninstall em but uninstalled updates for em and disable em is comes close to u firmware

[Completed] Help!! Galaxy J100H not registered on network.

Greetings, sharing here my particular problem from top to bottom just to take advice in general.
First of all, I live in Cuba, so my one and only network is Cubacel which runs GSM 900 mhz, so far so good with most phones.
I am between phones so I boorrowed this used J100h from a friend, which received it as a gift and has never been used. I performed a hard reset to wipe password, data, etc. Phone boots ok but no calls with cuban SIM.
The curious thing is that it does recognizes Cubacel network, it evens shows the changes on signal intensity. Bu when I try to manually add it, it finds and displays the network by its name, but reports an error when trying to register.
After 3 days of internet search I´ve narrowed to the following: I suspect the phone was unlocked or flashed previously, there is no network promo when turning on the phone but there is chinese rooting software installed and the cell is, or seems via root checker, rooted. Thought an extra /01 after the IMEI was a sign of corruption until I leraned about IMEI SV. Anyway, following this thought installed busybox and root explorer, checked efs folder, finding subfolders such as imei, factory app, etc, BUT NO .NV file. inside imei folder ther is a imeino1 file with the correct imei, but no .nv file outside. Is this fixable?? GSII repair doesnt work because seems theres is an error with the busy box install, what gives me doubts if the phone is really rooted, and if i need to be online to install busybox properly.
So, If I decide to try and flash stock rom and see if this fixes the problem here is my main doubt, which may seem obvious for some but i simply can figure out. Which stock rom version do I choose? the product code of the cell is ITV, and the bootloader also points to the italian version but the currently installed rom ends in AOG2, seemingly a greek version. I live in Cuba and everywhere I look people say that since the telephone is sim free you can install any rom, but the is no "any" or standard rom either in samsung firware o sammobile. Do I flash the same rom? do I flash the one matching the bootloader? Which stock rom version should I choose?
Very much appreciated if you have gone so far in this reading and have some piece of advice. Also excuse terrible English.
Hi !
I see plenty of firmwares on samsung website so pick one and see how it works , it doesn`t matter the region , you won`t damage anything , maybe the modifications that has been made on the device borked the network , clean stock firmware flash may resurrect it and try the one which matches the bootloader
You may have a look here as well https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-gennxt-prerooted-stock-t3126368
Good luck !

I need Note 7 N930X Help

I need help. I happen to get my hands on a note 7 sm-n930x live demo unit here in Denver, CO, USA
SM-N930X UD
S/N RF8H71JQGFD
64GB
Exynos 8890 SoC
4x Exynos M1 @ 2.3 GHz
4x Cortex A53 @ 1.6 GHz
Mali T880MP12 GPU
I had it running by flashing a sm-n930f firmware to it, which I understand is the same phone. I then attempted to flash the hydra rom and now I can only access download mode and it stays on the "Hydra Rom N7" splash screen. I dont remember the original phone info because the paper it was written got tossed out. To further my string of bad luck the SD that stored the NAND got corrupted.
I've tried to wipe everything via PIT and reinstall the 930f firmware, but it always fails. Sometimes it fails immediately and other times it actually starts installing for a moment and then fails. I've tried to install Hyrdra again and it fails. I've repartitioned in an attempt to wipe it without success. Info on the 930x version is hard to come by as I've come to find out. Today I finally found the fw listed below is the stock firmware for the international version, but the only downloads I can find are in a foreign language and want me to pay for it which I don't trust at all. At least I think these are the stock for the 930x, please correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm not sure of the baseband because someone threw away the paper I had written it on or the imei # which is all zeros with a one on the end now . How can I fix the loop and get it working again? Is it failing because I can't wipe the cache through recovery and it's too much overwriting at this point? Since this is the "x" international variant, is it accepting of any of the exynos roms? Does anyone have access to the firmware versions below that they could share with me or clue me in as to where I can find the downloads myself?
My goal is to get the Note 7 working again with hydra, or any other rom. I just need it to work and be able to use it on my carrier which is currently at&t. I may have tried to flash the wrong ROM, the efs could be missing, andi know the imei is gone. It is probably safe to assume all are true.
Do I need to repair the imei before it will accept an install? If so, how would you suggest? I have QFIL, QPST, SPC but am unsure exactly how to utilize with great affect as I'm still teaching myself or if they are the correct programs that I need in order to remedy my situation. I'm no pro but I'm not a newbie either. I'm great at following detailed, precise instructions so please guide me to resurrecting my Note 7. I'm not sure what happened but I know I can fix it with a little assistance. All guidance and suggestions are welcomed and greatly appreciated. Cheers

Fix imei note 7 sm-n930x Needed for return
Can someone guide me in restoring the imei for the note 7? I called the return phone number and they need the imei. For some reason the serial number isn't sufficient.
Did u find a solution

Variant n930x has no efs folder. How did you make it You just put a ROM of the version n930f?

If you have the box the device came in, the IMEI should be on the box somewhere.
If you had it activated on a network, that network should have the IMEI for that device in their system.
If all you need is the IMEI to file a claim on the device then getting the IMEI from the box or from your network support team might be enough. If so, it won't require dealing with the technical issues involved with trying to restore a corrupted IMEI.
I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE
also if he would instead have taken a device without (or at least with a lot less) planned obsolescence (aka. if he would have a device with a battery you can take out) the IMEI would iirc be on a label below it.

I bumped into a locked firmware and I don't know what to do

Hi guys. This is my very first post here. I searched all over the internet for my problem but nothing. But it seemed that similar questions redirected me to this forum and that's why I decided to join.
So, all started this morning, when the colors of my Galaxy S7 Edge became faded, it was more noticeable on the black color. I tried to find a solution online and they suggested doing something under Developer Tools. The next problem and my big big mistake, was that I unchecked and rechecked something, that after restarting my phone, wouldn't let me enter, showing a text "Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock". I searched for a solution and I saw that the only way was to install a new firmware.
I always thought my phone was SM-G935FD, because that is what it read on the "About device", but at the download screen it showed SM-G935W8. So I downloaded a firmware for the SM-G935W8. This is what it says also on the back of my phone, i noticed it just some minutes ago. So I went and I searched for W8 firmwares. I got the 6.0.1 from Canada and Bell carrier if I am not mistaken. I did the instalĺ. It started well, but after some updates it went from 6, to android 7 and it blocked my actual carrier. I can't make any phone calls.
Now I don't know what to do. I live in Albania and I purchased the phone here, it was a used one. I think at some point the phone was rooted because I had some very strange apps that has to do with rooting apparently (I never rooted a phone and I don't know much).
I want to know if there is a way to have an unlocked firmware. I don't even know what carrier was the phone on the first place.

Try flashing the SM G935FD, it probably had the G935FD firmware flashed on it so that it would work in your region, flashing G935FD again might make it work again.

Okay but, which version of FD? Because I search it and I see versions for countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Nigeria etc etc, and I am not sure if it will be a locked version again.

If it was rooted before, it was probably rooted so that some things could be modified to make it work in your country.
You said you flashed an android 6 firmware then you did an OTA update to android 7. That might be a problem because it might not be able to root again in order to make the modifications that were originally done to make it work in your country.
Here is a link to all the Russian firmware for SM G935FD, try the 6.0 firmware, try the various 6.0 firmwares and see if any of them work. After flashing the 6.0 firmware, if you get a notification saying there is an update available, DO NOT ACCEPT IT, keep the 6.0 android version. You will probably still be blocked by FRP, according to XDA rules, we can't help you bypass FRP, you'll have to figure that out yourself.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935FD/SER/
Once you get FRP straightened out, do some searches for:
"How to root SM G935FD"
Then you can work on getting it configured to work in your region on your carrier. Sometimes this involves flashing a separate modem(radio) file that has been extracted from a different firmware in order to make your radio work with your specific carrier. You might be in for more than you bargained for. I don't know which specific modifications you'll need or what files you'll need to make it work in your region, im just trying to give you an idea of what you need to look into.
You can try some of the Russian android forums, someone there might know how to make the device work in Albania. You might want to ask around in those forums first before you try anything, that way you won't waste time trying things that might not work. It will save you time if they know where you need to start and what you need.

Question Samsung S21 VZN need unlocked or converted to ATT. Tried odin.. Maybe I am an idiot.

Hello.
Got a free phone from a buddy S21 5G. I am wanting to swap it for the S10* 1tb I gave my wife to use it was a bit expensive. So I'd rather ti go back in the box.
Popped the sim in it, it works makes calls sometimes, sometimes not. Texts seem to always work, I am currently on ATT I would prefer to have that firmware as I live in the stick with ho cell service. ATT has wifi calling which is pretty much a necessity here.
So what exactly do I need to do to get this off the VZN fir
Hello. Could you all provide me the links for what I need? Found a link that had a patched Odin plus the firmware. I installed in booted how I was suppose to. Tried to install in and it errored out. Also. I do not know what file to select for the user data selection, I do not mind deleting all data as it 8s hacked up and can put ti back with smart switch.
Hello, did you manage to flash the phone?, I'm stuck with a similar case, mine is a factory unlocked unit from Verizon, it turns out that even if it is factory unlocked, is locked after a few minutes by verizon, I have tried everything to get rid of the VZW firmware but it seems that Verizon locks the bootloader so I can't flash it (it passes om odin and everything but the firmware doesn't change)
I even paid SamKEY credits to change the CSC but it didn't change either.
