Hello guys!
I live in the states and I get weak cellular signals most of the time. I have the exynos variant because i heard it has better ram management and battery. I have flashed the bootloader and modem BL_G930FXXU1BPIF and CP_G930FXXU1BPHJ and installed superman rom on it. I also flashed the csc for TMB because i use tmobile. So the problem is that I dont get good lte speed and the cellular signal is always low. Can i flash G930T modem on the exynos version or it will cause problem because G930T is the snapdragon variant?
Any help is appreciated!

I think it is only the bootloader that you have to be careful with. Try the modem - you can always ODIN back the CP above if you have issues.
PS - try this new CP/modem module - it has the new TMo LTE-A in it - over doubled my download speeds:

Come to think of it the modem may also be hardware specific, so the qualcom one will not go on your 930F.
I would search the threads here and in the US TMo threads to see which phone firmwares (by country) are working best over here on 930F/935F(I have seen some when I was considering getting a 935F or FD), and then download the full firmware and extract the CP from the one that works good and ODIN it.

Hey guys!
Yesterday I got a Sprint carried S7 SM-930P as a gift. The only problem is that although it works flawlessly on my sim cards (I'm not in the US), I found out that the 930P won't get the 7.0 update. Is it possible to flash the G930U firmware without messing my phone up?

I wouldn't do it unless your absolutely sure, I wouldn't be so sure if it's for a different model number. If they were able to have the same firmware flashed Samsung would just release it, they obviously didn't because it requires extra effort, pointing towards the conclusion that the firmware is not flashable on 930P

You can flash it, i have done it myself. There are many guides over here that tell you how. All S7s in the USA are the same exact thing hardware wise, only the software (firmware) is different. Am currently running SM-G930U firmware on an SM-G930VL S7. @op the sprint s7 (SM-G930P) already has android 7 as of last 3 weeks

SM-G930P converted to SM-G930U
Hey guys. I was able to flash the sm-g930u firmware downloaded from sammobile... the problem I have now.. I have a blank csc. No product code.. and on software updates it fails to register my device. Also in settings . I have some weird options. Which some of them are repeated. I will upload screenshots.. Also there's a system UPDATE option and also software option. Which one of them fails to register and the other only works with Wi-Fi. Should I revert back to my stock sprint firmware. If so do I need to wait for a firmware with same build date or newer. Because on sammobile haven't uploaded a firmware with a build date on par with the current install. Then I would have to wait right. ? If using a older firmware it will brick or do something to my phone ?

Thanks for the reply. Already solve.. what happen i flash home_csc. So ir was like that. But then i made a back up.. and flash again using the csc file. And all work perfect. At first phone was with the SPT csc.. then after i restored phone and pop in my sim it did something.. and now I'm with XAA csc. Works perfect. And could receive updates (phone registered). Just waiting for the july security patch update. Btw phone works better in every way.. battery even last longer..

Hey Buddy. I would recommend doing a full back up on your phone., using Smart Switch app
It saves all your numbers, message, etc..
Then proceed to flash the latest firmware for the Region or Provider. Using (CSC) not (home_csc) which means flashing the csc will wipe your phone data. Phone will be like new again. Proceed tru set up. Loggin in gmail. Proceed to update smart switch app if not found in apps. Then restore from the back up file. And good to go.

actually all S7 are not the same hardware fyi. The Sm-g930p has chipsets snapdragon and uses cpu procesaor quad core but the sm-g930F has the chipset Exynos8 cpu is octa-CORE the chipsets vary from these two. Flashing firmware for one chipset to the other may cause major problems bot to mention bootloops.. but I looked up sm-g930U and it uses the same processor as the P model.snapdragon

He said all S7's in the USA are the same, which is correct. Exynos/930F isn't sold in the US, only way to get one is to grey import.
You can flash any USA model's firmware onto any other USA model because they're all the same hardware.
anyone running the 930p with current update how did you get around the binary 6 lock all the 930U firmware versions I can find are binary 4 I think t-mobile is 5. Anyone got links to a firmware we can push to sprint variants that are binary 6.

You can't get around it. It is currently impossible to "downgrade" the bootloader binary version. All US carrier variants are version 4, except Sprint that is 6. You are stuck.
The only way it would ever be possible is if (a) one of the carriers, in a future software update, increases their bootloader version to 6, or (b) if someone figures out how to unlock the bootloader for the Snapdragon models.
Neither of those options is likely to happen, ever. You might get lucky and hope the G930U unlocked version has a higher number (it hasn't been released for Oreo yet), but I wouldn't bet on it.

Blame Sprint; there is really no reason for them to do what they did except keep users from switching their phone to another carrier. This isn't a Samsung thing. I don't believe you would be able to do this with any other Android phone, either (i.e. go backwards in bootloader versions).
Yesterday I Bought G930F Device Working Great And Officially G930F Then I Flashed G930T Firmware by accident
And G930T bootloader is locked i can't flash G930F firmware
What Should I do???I tried to intitialize Device With Smart Switch But It says device not supported
I have Rooted G930T 7.0 Noughat and i would like to go back to my G930F 7.0
Any Idea?
So you didn't hard brick your device? I thought the G930F was Exynos and any US firmware would kill it. I'm not too sure if this will work but have you tried using Flashfire to go back to the G930F firmware?

No I didn't hard brick my phone but the bootloader changed completely to US and I Can't Do Anything to go back with odin
and with flashfire i can't flash bootloader it says partition protected
i tried to flash G930F System With flashfire but ended up with no samsung logo
i tried smart switch to intialize device with my model name and serial number that written on back of my device but it says
(The Model Information That You Have Entered Cannot Be Verified;The Device Initialization Cannnot Procced Please Contact The Service Center)
So Smart Switch Didn't Work,,FlashFire Didn't Work,,,Odin Not,,,I Guess I Should Contact The Service Center
And I'm In Kurdistan,Iraq So No Service Center In My Country
Any Way To Flash A G930F Bootloader without Any Problem??Because My Device Is Exynos And It Should Be A Reason For Success
This Is Insane Right?

Okay so are you 100% positive your device is G930F and not U? Because I don't think your phone should even be booting if you flashed a Snapdragon firmware on an Exynos phone.

Yes Because Before I Flashed G930T Firmware I Tested Geekbench And It Was Exynos 8890 Octa
And Other Applications That I have Tested It Was Exynos 8890 Octa
And On My Back Of My Device Serial Number And Model Name Is Good
I'm %100 Positive That My Device Is G930F Because Before I Flash G930T Firmware The Bootloader Was G930F
And Beside All Of That On The New G930T Firmware I Feel That My Device A Little Laggy And Not Running The System Perfectly

The u1 is bootloader locked. The u firmware is bootloader locked
If you own a u device and it is not sim unlocked the only advantage u1 firmware give is carrier bloat.
The u1 firmware can be flashed on a u device. But other than listed above no other perks come from this.

I can semi-confirm this. From the recovery menu I can select bootloader and it boots to SOMETHING.....but it looks like it's booting to their downloader version and not what people would traditionally see from a normal bootloader screen. I do know this screen does NOT work for having the phone detected by Platform Tools so no way to use that at all as far as I can see. UGH. I swear I should have just bought a Pixel 2 when I had the chance. GODS Samsung is annoying. :crying:

When you click reboot to bootloader it takes you to what as known as download mode which is how we flash stock firmware. And maybe a couple other things but yea mainly for stock firms. Its used by a program called odin and the latest is 3.13 i believe.

Yea hopefully someone will respond to my main question in the noobie thread. Or maybe you would know. So I know Odin is the program Samsung uses to load new ROM on a phone. And I thought I read somewhere that there was a modified version of Odin that someone made that could install new/different ROM's. But I also saw in another message that either the current version of Odin, or the current version of the modified Odin could still load other ROM's and that someone had tested this. So that was my original primary question.
Is there a way I can use one or the other to load a Stock Android Pie ROM like what might come with a Pixel so I can avoid all the garbageware from Samsung? Or is there a chance doing that, that I would have some of my hardware features disabled since that seems to be an issue loading a ROM from another phone? And if so. Has anyone made a ROM for Samsung phones with all the garbage programs removed? Or is it still too early in the release of Pie for Samsung for that to be a reality right now?
Thank You for the info.

There is a pie beta I don't know if it is official yet. If you flash the unlocked firmware I've read you lose features like WiFi calling and volte. But I have not tried pie or unlocked firm ware on mine. There is a thread on installing safestrap then doing a rooted system images then from there depending on the flashed image if you do debloat. Again I haven't tried the new root method. I'm still on a really old revision from end of 2017

Ok thanks for the info. So apparently right now it's just a bit too early to be trying to find a Pie ROM that would work with my phone and not loose some hardware features. Which I guess makes sense since Samsung is only just now releasing it for S9's I believe in european countries I guess primarily to make sure how they borked it with their own software and tweaking didn't totally screw up their phones. Heh.
Oddly enough I got all excited when I saw it said there was an update today, but all it was for was a security update to bring it up to "Feb 1st, 2019" Android security level.
Thanks for the info about things. :good:

Yes you can flash the u1 firm Ware as long as its the same revision bootloader 5th digit from the last.

No, that would 100% lead to a brick. If you're looking for a way to bypass the locked bootloader in order to flash TWRP, give up on that idea. There is no way around the locked bootloader on Verizon Samsung devices, many people have tried many, many, many different things, everything and anything you can possibly think of and absolutely nothing works. Flashing stuff isn't going to change that.

920v is a Verizon device, the Verizon stock firmware should have 4G LTE. What issues are you having? If you're on Verizon stock firmware and have a 4G LTE SIM inserted, you should be getting 4G service.
If you're using the device in a different country, you probably won't get the 4G working.
The only thing I can think of is, find out which 4G radio bands your service provider uses, them do some searching see which 920 firmware(s) support those 4G radio bands, then download the firmware and extract the modem.img from the firnware, then convert the modem.img into an Odin flashable .tar.md5 then flash the modem via Odin.

If flashing the original stock firmware does not fix the sensors, I don't know what to try from there.

After flashing the stock firmware, have you tried booting to stock recovery and factory reset in recovery then wipe cache partition?
Check to verify that your IMEI still displays in system settings.

Take that phone back to basics. Hook it up to Kies and restore it back to factory OS, then go from there. Report back.
