I have a smg930v convertet into smg930f due sim support how can i update it to nougat to support all sims
930V and 930F are completely different chipsets, you can't just convert from one to another. What model does it say it is in download mode?
If it's a 930V then you can try flashing the 930U Nougat firmware from sammobile or updato, as it's the unlocked firmware. But if the phone is carrier locked to a SIM, you will need to get it carrier unlocked which can't be done with a firmware flash.
If it's a 930F you can flash the default UK firmware it ships with if you buy it carrier unlocked, also from sammobile or updato

Hi,
Has anyone been able to access Three and EE VoLTE on ether XEU or BTU firmwares? I am thinking of getting the S8+ Dual SIM but don't really want to have to flash a 3 branded firmware on a dual SIM model if I can help it.
Thanks.
Can't answer for dual SIM variant, but you can do it in a number of ways, you flash the three firmware and CSC, or you flash the EE firmware and CSC. Both will mean you get OTAs. I however used EE CSC and xeu rest of the firmware. I get the best of both worlds but have to manually update using a hybrid of the EE CSC and xeu rest.
I have flashed BTU firmware before with Three CSC but yes it causes a mismatch and OTA updates no longer work ;-(
I have a samsung s7, I had some problems with it so I had to reinstall it via Odin. I downloaded a firmware called SM-G930f Three sweden. and since then the phone was locked to three sweden. is it even possible?? How and why? I downloaded other software but the problem persists. Is there even a solution? I could use any sim card before i installed the Wrong firmware
I don't think it's possible for carriers to retroactively lock and unlocked device, each country and carrier has their own firmware which can affect your network compatibility if you're using the wrong one.
Try finding a non-carrier specific firmware from updato.com or sammobile.com and flashing that, you can also try flashing the UK BTU firmware since it's the stock unbranded firmware.
Start with just flashing home_csc and nothing else if you don't want to lose any data, but if you want to do a full flash them all 4 files using normal CSC.
I was wondering if it's possible to enable VoLTE on an SM-G930F running BTU firmware on an AT&T carrier. Is there any way to get things like WiFi Calling and VoLTE on it, or am I just screwed since I'm using the international variant of the phone?
When I first got it brand new from Wal-Mart, it was running TTT firmware (from Trinidad and Tobago for some reason) and showed normal 3G, 4G, and LTE symbols on my status bar. Since I wanted to get the Nougat update early, I flashed BTU which switched the symbols to H, H+, and 4G. Does that have anything to do with it?
Thanks.
You're certain it's a G930F? And from Walmart of all places? Exynos isn't meant to be sold in the US.
If it's a G930F and you have TWRP you can flash the CSC tool in the development section which has the US carriers, and CSC is what enables VoLTE.
If it's a US snapdragon model you could flash the AT&T CSC via Odin without needing TWRP.

If OP successfully flashed BTU then it has to be a Exynos G930F, but I agree, most phones sold in the US claiming to be the G930F are modded Snapdragons faked to look like it, but they obviously won't allow a Exynos ROM to be flashed to them, so in this case OP has got a real Exynos
Could be the modem (CP) part of the firmware controlling which carrier services you can receive in your region, not sure I'd recommend flashing a US modem to a UK firmware though, unsure what would happen, although the G930F is pretty straight forward to unbrick as long as you can get back into download mode

Where is this CSC tool? I'm not sure what you mean by "development section". I have an Oreo G930F and I'm trying to get VoLTE to work with AT&T.

It hasn't been updated with the newer versions of Android so it's not really a thing anymore.
Next best thing is to download the entire firmware package for your carrier from somewhere like updato then flash only the home_CSC file. Although iirc this might now work if mixing and matching models, which is why the CSC flash tool was a thing.

The trouble is that the G930F was never officially released on US markets, so I can't find a US firmware. I'd gladly use another market's firmware if I knew it would support AT&T VoLTE and "LTE only" mode, but I have no idea how to figure that out!
So it turns out that I have the Canadian SM-G930W8 (as shown on the download mode screen), not the G930F (as shown everywhere else). Identical hardware, but I can only flash Canadian firmware.
I bought a new S7 (G930F) at ebay. When it arrived i wanted to update to the newest firmware, but i got an error notification.
I contacted Samsung and they told me to send it in.
They checked it and told me, that they are not willing to help because the phone is flashed with a wrong firmware. I bought it as a new device. This is unpleasant.
The seller doesn't answer my messages, so i thought maybe i can flash a new firmware by myself. The actual firmware is working but it is outdated. (1. August 2018)
But how can i find out which firmware is correct for this phone? How to say if it is exynos or snapdragon?
The phone information
Modellnummer: SM-930F
Seriennummer: 5AF94C0C
Buildnummer: R16NW.G930FFXXU7CRH2
Kernel: 3.18.71-14274519 [email protected] #1
Basisband: G930FFXXU7CRH2
Android 8.0.0
Samsung Experience: 9.0
I would like to flash the latest firmware and i want to use the phone in germany. Can somebody identify the correct firmware?
Thanks a lot
What does the phone say in download mode? The ROM can be modified to lie about the model and firmware, but download mode will tell you the truth.
If download mode says it's a G930F then it's Exynos, if it says G930U/V/T/A then it's Snapdragon.
If it is a G930F then good news is you can just flash whatever G930F firmware you want over top what's on it. If it's Snapdragon then you're a bit stuffed, you can't flash Exynos firmware onto Snapdragon.
For updating it if it is G930F my recommendation would be to find out the region code for your device, e.g. from here https://updato.com/firmware-archive...act=1&r=DBT,XEG,DCO,DDE,VIA,DTM,VD2&v=&rpp=15 then download the firmware using that region code with SamFirm tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Download Mode says SM-G930V
I'm doomed
Yep that's a common scam. If you can't return to seller the next best thing would be to flash the G930U firmware, which is the generic unlocked firmware for Snapdragon.
It won't give you the equivalent experience, but it will remove any bloat and give you a carrier unlocked phone experience.
You can use the same methods I mentioned to get your hands on the latest G930U firmware and update the device, but you may need this specific Odin version to flash G930U over G930V https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572
Thanks. Does TMK, TFN, TMB,... make a difference when the phone is used in germany?
Should i flash all 5 files:?:
AP
BL
CP
CSC
Home
I tried and my result is: Flashing only AP was not enough. Flashing all 5 worked fine for me. I chose TMK and even LTE is working. Thanks a lot.
Glad its working, for reference CSC and Home_CSC are both CSC files and you usually pick just one. Home_CSC doesn't do a data wipe, CSC does.
But when changing from G930V to G930U it's always safest to do the CSC wipe.
Hello! i flashed with full wipe the SM-S908U DSH unknown firmware over my ATT branded S22 Ultra, thinking that it was the unbranded version. I still have all the ATT branding everywhere and also the ATT software update option in settings.
My question is: will i still be able to get OTA updates with this firmware?
Unbranded firmware is U1 firmware. DSH is Dish network/Boost Mobile

The weird thing is that even though I flash dtbe full firmware, when I booted up, I still had the ATT customizations, but in settings it shows the firmware is updated to the DSH that I flashed? Very weird.
The reason is that DSH firmware is still U firmware with a CSC that adapts the firmware to the SIM installed, therefore it reverted back to AT&T. As previously stated, you need U1 firmware, unlocked defaults to XAA in the US.
So what will happen if I dirty flash with the Home CSC the new DSH U over my SM-S908U1 that has been already flashed from U1 to carrier U Xfinity Mobile hard sim and a T-Mobile eSim ?
Will I still keep my same Xfinity Mobile T-Mobile carrier data ?
