Firmware for SM-G930F

Hi,
I do have an unlocked version of Samsung Galaxy S7; model SM-G930F(international model), which I brought from Jet.com. I am using T-mobile sim prepaid sim on it.
For the past few weeks its showing problem of re-starting and hangs on Samsung boot screen(first screen with Samsung name and galaxy s7 logo) with blue light on top always on. I tried factory reset, but did not work and happens too often these days. There is no fixed way of getting out of it. Sometimes it works by clearing the cache, at times by logging in on safe mode and rebooting, then at times by charging for a while and turning it on etc...
From looking into the forums and discussion, I have the feeling that its related to bootloop or bricked phone. The only thing left to do is install firmware once again with ODIN. But I am confused on which firmware to download. Can anyone help me with which is the best one to install? Below is the phone details.
AP : G930FXXU1BPLB
CP: G930FXXU1BPJJ
CSC: G930FUUB1BPL4
Any help of this is much appreciated.

you should install all of them, in the order it says,

OK. But do you have the link to the firmware that I can use? I am not sure from the above information which firmware would be suited for my version of Galaxy S7. Looking for the downloadable firmware.

Hi mate
You had a Marsmellow firmware you can basically flash any official firmware you want , as long as it belongs to a G930F , pick a country similar or same to where you live
Check here
Get a Nougat firmware they are working fine, follow the intruction in how to flash , pick CSC or home_csc , CSC will factory rest your phone will it leave it like new , if you use home_csc has to be same as the one you have your phone then you will not lose any data

SM - G930F
Thank you!!
I got the file downloaded now. Do I need to select all the AP, BL, CP and CSC on the ODIN software to reset it?

Today morning again the phone got hanged in the bootscreen. So, I decided to run the ODIN3 with all the 4 files selected. I installed the Samsung drviers and followed all the instruction and run the application with all the 4 files selected. The process showed success in the ODIN3 application. But even after that, the phone is stuck on the bootloader Samsung with Galaxy S7 logo.
Any idea what to do next or how to resolve this issue?

Did you factory reset from recovery and flashed firmware again?

Perhaps someone can answer a similar question for me? I have the XEU nougat beta firmware, can I flash the BTU final nougat without needing to factory reset?

OK.... here is the SAD news.. I gave the phone for repair on a local cellphone shop. They did some testing on it and said its related to software. After trying to fix it with installing software and other fix they called me a while back and said `THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT`.
Not sure what to do with it. Bought this unlocked only 6 months back and its already dead....
Never going for another Galaxy for sure.

Yeah, you can do that, but is preferable to do the flash then a factory reset...

How to downgrade from Nougat 7 to Marshmellow 6.0.1

How to downgrade from Nougat 7 to Marshmellow 6.0.1​
If you want to save the thing's you currently have on your device, then do a backup using Samsung Smart-Switch.. Because everything WILL be deleted!
First open settings and go to about phone then tap 6 to 7 times on the Build Number until you see developer mode activated. Then go back to the settings list and look for Developer Options and tap it. Now look for OEM unlock and turn it on. This step is important and NEEDS to be done or you'll have problems later, not kidding!! In the same list as OEM unlock, look for, and make sure USB Debugging is on.. Make sure you have no accounts on the phone before starting this( if you're not going to enable OEM unlock) delete all of them especially Google accounts! If you don't do this you can be locked out for 72 hours! Delete any fingerprints and lock screen pins also!! (Create your backup using Samsung Smart Switch or KIES or whichever you want BEFORE deleting any accounts!! Meaning LEAVE your Google account on the phone until your backup is FINISHED and THEN you can remove it.)
On a Windows desktop download odin(unless you already have it) and download firmware number N920VVRS3BPI1 from my Android File Host here ----> N920VVRS3BPI1 onto your windows desktop. If you use any other firmware besides the one I'm posting, it may or may not work so I suggest you use this one first.
After downloading the firmware shut your phone off (Did you make your backup and save your stuff FIRST? If not DON'T start this) and then put it into download mode by holding the volume down button, the home button and the power button at the same exact time (all 3 together). When the screen turns on immediately let go of the buttons and press the volume up button to continue. At this point odin should be open on your Windows computer, connect the phone and when you see it says added on odin you need to go into options and uncheck auto reboot, you NEED to do this! This is the only thing you SHOULD be ticking in these settings, do not tick on re-partition or anything else. Then go back and tap AP and select the firmware N920VVRS3BPI1 that you downloaded (extract it 1 time on your PC first) and after it verifies (odin might crash and say it's not responding on some systems, just leave it be it will finish and work again) then tap start and let it finish. When odin finally says PASS and you see successful 1/ failed 0 then disconnect the phone and immediately press and hold the volume down button and power button at the same time and when the screen comes back on select factory reset and after its finished the phone will reboot on it's own and you're done and booting back to Marshmallow 6.0.1.
If you don't follow these steps correctly you're liable to get stuck or something else and your phone is not my responsibility if you do something wrong and it doesn't work it's because you made the conscious decision to do it likely you'll have no problem with this if you follow directions!!! I did all the testing on my own Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Verizon model before posting this and did it several times to be sure it worked correctly.​

can you help me please with Note 5
can you help me please with Note 5
I have bought a Samsung note 5 from Dubai and it is working on my sim card at Egypt internationally for 5 months without problem.
I discovered that it is a Verizon modified to work internationally!!!.
However I was going to sell it and i did a factory hard reset to delete my personal data then the night mare began.
First of all the phone stuck at the set screen of accepting the terms and never reached the point where i can input my google email and password, whenever I accept the terms it get back to the first screen of language selection.
then i tired some pc applications to bypass the FRP lock but one of them made an uncomplete download which give an error and i can only enter the odin download mode nothing else ??
My question now is will your firmware N920VVRS3BPI1 solve this problem and let me use my local/international sim card line as before or shall it get me back to Verizon original firmware that is locked only to their lines ??

an update :
I have installed the firmware N920VVRS3BPI1 and it was amazing and working very well .... although it started with Verzion logo at beginning where i had a nightmare ha ha ha ... but after start every thing was ok and the sim card was accepted from Vodafone.

Just so you know you're using the wrong firmware on that phone because it's a N920F not a N920V that phone has an unlocked bootloader and can be rooted with chainfires root and it can pretty much accept whatever firmware because of the unlocked bootloader.

Thanks for reply
But does this mean that I can install firmware from N920C for example ??
And I can upgrade to Android 7 ?
And still my Sim card from Vodafone can be working without being locked ????

Bootloader is locked. And there is not such model of note 5 like 920f. I don't know how sellers rename n920v to n920f... My phone now on official nougat QB9 and works flawlessly.

There is a F model it's the international one.
SM-N920F
And it says Verizon now because he flashed the firmware from my android file host account.
Personally I don't think the phones real because that F version usually means that it's a knock off from Thailand.

In Europe galaxy note 5 is N920C. F version is a Verizon version, just аltered by unknown way. N920F version never existed only as a disguised N920V. Just google it and you will see. There is no official firmware for "N920F".

I know but as I said the F version is usually a knock off from Thailand. Personally I don't even think it's real because if the bootloader is locked then how did they get it to say F? The only way to do that is to open the phone and change the chip inside because there's no way a real Verizon Note 5 would be able to do that.

So, you think these phones N920F are not good and I should sell it??, should I look for a new genuine one ?

If it's working fine keep it, no need to sell it if it's doing what you need it to do.

You should download something called phone info for Samsung so you can make sure the phone is real and not a knock off.. It should have the same exact specs a real one has and if it doesn't it's probably a fake one.

the phone info app is showing a real phone data ...... but when I enter the digits #*0*# it doesn't bring the test screen and the code *#06# doesn't show the IMEI .... is this normal for the Verizon phones ????

I may give this a go. Since receiving a replacement phone fr my original overheating one and getting Nougat update, this phone has been a pain...a real pain. Making phone calls activates the external speaker. I have to tap the speaker icon 3 times to get the ear piece speaker going then when call is answered it kicks back to the external speaker. Very fun in restaurants. Using Bluetooth radio while driving....forget it. Gmail will not download automatically. I'm about to go back to my Note 2.

Anyone who owns G930F and didn't have VoLTE or WiFi calling enabled on Nougat firmware BUT managed to get it working afterdoing "x" please share how to do it.
I'm tired of waiting for my Network to release the firmware...

Basically just want to know what would happen if I flashed carrier branded csc only with Odin.
E.g. would my phone refuse to boot, would my phone be carrier branded if it succesfully boots, trip Knox, etc...
Any info welcome - tired of googling the answers or searching XDA forum for answers.

Might have some carrier preinstalled crap but it won't trip KNOX nor prevent the phone from booting

That answered some of my questions, thanks.
Please see screenshot for my mutiCSC firmware. I am running Android 7 but haven't changed CSC since I got the phone in December 2016. I got it with Marshmallow on it. Everytime I upgrade firmware with Odin I select Home CSC so my CSC never changes.
Since the solution is in the CSC (afaik), which CSC do you recommend I flash with Odin? I understand how to flash with Odin if CSC not in my multiCSC firmware (tick re-partition, etc...)
My home network is Vodafone (CSC is XVF which is not part of my CSC).

If i got it right you are not root, right? if you are root there are other ways....
Yes you need the right CSC to make it work , in this case Vodafone XFV.
When you change to a different CSC is recommended to check re partition to adjust to the possible change in partitions
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930F/XFV/download/G930FXXU1DQD2/131635/
Download the firmware and extract the correct CSC from it , if you do not want all the vodafone stuff you could download and unbranded firmware and use the BL ,CP , AP from it and the CSC (XFV) from Vodafone and flash it all together
BACK UP FIRST .......

G9650 (Snapdragon) CSC Change/ Stock firmware change (NON ROOT)

Hi everyone,
Recently I flashed a stock ROM on my SM-G9650 and wandered around quite some time before gathering all the information to flash the firmware. Now I’m here gathering most (if not all) the information anyone might need to flash stock firmware to your device. This method does NOT require root and does NOT trip KNOX
First of all:
-Disclaimer-
I will not be responsible if your device gets bricked. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. This is a guide, and even though its pretty straight forward, stuff happens.
Now, onto flashing the device:
A few prerequisites prior to flashing the device:
- ODIN (latest): https://odindownload.com/
- USB Drivers for Samsung: https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows
- An ORIGINAL Cable for your device (Preferably the one that came with it).
- WinRAR or 7zip
- A backup of your data (Optional)
- Patience and time
Ok, now onto the flashing:
First things first: this is a guide for the G9650 (Hong Kong) Variant with UNLOCKED bootloader. If your device model is different, find a thread according to your device.
1- Go to: https://www.sammobile.com/forum/threads/40735-Galaxy-S9-G960-multi-CSC-pit-language , and find the correct Multi CSC for your country/Region. (I live in the Caribbean but chose to use ZTO because it has LTE+ and VoLTE, and the only bloatware is Word, Excel, PowerPoint, LinkedIn and One Drive.). Once you find your CSC, head over to https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and download your desired Firmware. Here is a link for CSC code meaning: https://www.androidsage.com/2017/07...specific-product-code-csc-and-country-region/
2- Once downloaded, create a folder on your desktop and move the zip file to it, then extract. (You can choose any folder you want, I recommend desktop because it is easier to find)
3- Install the USB Drivers previously downloaded.
4- Reboot your pc (By actually opening windows and clicking reboot.)
5- Open Odin and search for the folder you placed the Firmware in.
6- Load BL, AP, CP and CSC (NOT HOME_CSC) onto the correct slots.
Now onto the phone part:
1- Unlock your phone and go to Samsung switch.
2- Back up your data. (If you do not have personal data, then skip)
3- Factory reset the phone, through the settings option.
4- Wait for the phone to boot into the welcome screen.
5- Turn off the device
6- While holding down the Bixby button and the volume up, press the power
7- When the Samsung logo shows, let go of the power and Bixby buttons. Keep holding the Volume up button until you boot into recovery.
8- With the navigation keys, factory reset the phone, once completed, wipe cache and data.
9- Turn off the device.
10- Turn on the device while holding down the Bixby button and volume down. Once the Samsung logo shows, let go of the Bixby button. Keep holding the volume down.
11- Once in the download mode (blue screen with an android), let go of the volume down. Press volume up to select download mode.
Back to the PC part:
1- Once the device is in download mode, connect it via cable and wait for ODIN to recognize it. (a blue box indicating COM port is the indicator that ODIN has recognized the device)
2- Since the BL, AP, CP and CSC have been loaded onto the correct slots, and the device is connected and recognized, go into options and make sure that Auto Reboot and F. Reset time are checked.
3- Press start and BE PATIENT AND CAREFULL, Flashing a firmware takes time. If your cable breaks connection with ODIN, YOU MAY brick your device.
4- Once completed, your phone will boot up on its own, reboot it manually.
Congratulations, you have just flashed a stock, almost bloatware free Samsung Firmware.
If you have any question, feel free to ask.
- To Mods and Admins: Forgive me if I break any rules, this is my first thread. Just let me know what went wrong and I will fix it ASAP

You might want to consider changing the links you have posted for Odin - The latest version is 3.13.1 - The xda link has Odin 3.10.6 and the first Odin link has 3.12.x
Sammobile.com is one of the more reliable sources for Firmware & They conveniently have a link to Odin 3.13.1 as well..
XDA also has a link to the latest version of Odin here:
https://forum-xda--developers-com.c.../odin-available-3-13-1-oreo-fws-t3755957/page
It's strongly recommended to use Odin 3.13.1 to Flash Oreo Firmware ??

The link i posted has ODIN 3.13.1, when you open it in the browser (request desktop site on mobile), under the first image is the button for it. I used that link and said (Latest) so that when you head there you get the latest odin. Also, the link for the firmware is sammobile . I now see that its not very intuitive so i will add the link for the firmware (just have to type the device model and download the desired firmware. Thanks for the heads up

It's on T-Mobile and I dl the stock firmware from the posted link but I don't think this is the debloated firmware. Any help would be appreciated as I don't know what all this CSC stuff is.

Your previous CSC was TEL? Is it grouped with the VXX in the multi CSC?

I would highly recommend searching the forums for your variant since it is a Snapdragon and probably has locked bootloader. This guide is for G9650, even though the process is basically the same.

I'm familiar with how to flash with Odin but just don't know what debloated stock ROM is compatible.

I don't see a section dedicated to just the T-Mobile version on the S9+.

Make sure the downloaded model matches your device model. For a US variant its pretty hard to find one since most (if not all) put some kind of bloat on them. Search for: Bloat free firmware g965U, and look around.

Don't forget to thank!

I bought an unlocked s9+ from ebay and later found out that its country sale came from Panama. My canadian GSM network does work on the device, but certain apps like samsung members show spanish promotions or samsung pay not being available.*
Can the csc code and country be changed in this case so i am able to get the canadian setting and access.
Model: SM-G9650
CPU: Snapdragon 845
Disclaimer: i have never tried alteration of any phone before so im new to this.

JULY Security update for ZTO (G9650) now available

Flash T-Mobile firmware on Unlocked Note 10 plus version?

I was wondering if we can flash T-mobile firmware on note 10+ unlock version.
I remember 8 series it was doable without any issue. Anyone had this done so far ?

I loaded TMO on my unlocked Note 10+ . no issues for me.

Where did you downloaded tmobile firmware? Can u see video call features?

If you use home csc file during flashing, it shouldn't delete data. I personally use regular csc file which resets the phone. Since you are flashing a bit different firmware I would suggest you to use regular CSC file so it would wipe the device. Use Samsung backup from your phone, to back everything up, including homescreen, your settings, your apps and so on

I was referring to post someone posted above there is U1(unlock) and U (All other variant) . Is there any T Mobile specific firmware which says TMB or something like that?

US Unlocked models are U1(XAA code) and carrier versions are U.
So T-Mobile version of Note10 (regular) would be: SM-N970U and CSC(or the region code) is TMB, that is what you could type in the search fields of SamFirm

I have attached SamFirm app for your PC. Open it and type in the model # such as SM-N975U and region which in your case would be TMB and make sure "Auto" is checked, then hit search. I have also attached screenshot how your search term should look like for your Note10+
To make sure, your phone is US unlocked Note10+?

Downloading now and its way faster than sam website. Thanks bud.
Does this looks okay from sam mobile?
Extract the firmware file you just downloaded. You should get 5 files:
AP (System &Recovery)
BL (Bootloader)
CP (Modem / Radio)
CSC_*** (Country / Region / Operator)
HOME_CSC_*** (Country / Region / Operator)
Add each file to it's respective field in Odin v3.13.3. Use CSC_*** if you want to do a clean flash or HOME_CSC_*** if you want to keep your apps and data.

Yeah, after that you would use Odin to flash these files. Your list didn't include USERDATA file. So total should be 5 files when you flash it. I have attached Odin, just unzip where you like

If you haven't done it already. - On your phone go to settings>accounts and backup>backup and restore, then do back up
After that is done, turn off your phone. Then press and hold Vol up and down + power button. Release power when you see Samsung Note10... wording on screen. The download mode will ask you if you want to continue, use Vol up to continue
Now into Odin app, you will place each file into the corresponding spot: BL, AP, CP, CSC and USERDATA.
The last step is connect your phone to your PC and in the Odin app you will see under ID: COM(will turn blue)
Now if you are ready, start it If successful, Odin will say pass, I think
