I noticed its the wrong forum. apologies.

no. i was on U firmware from my previous ATT firmware version without unlocking the bootloader (and i think that is impossible for US version) and without modifying anything.

I was able to successfully flash G930U firmware on G930V phone using Odin. didnt need to open anything or to do modifications prior to flashing.

Yep, stock firmware doesn't require an unlocked bootloader unless you're downgrading. The snapdragon models also can't be bootloader unlocked anyway.

[Q] bootloader

i have a samsung galaxy s2 from bell it was flashed with xxki3 package that included a bootloader pda phone and csc files. i want to return my phone to the stock bell files ugkg2 but the firmware i downloaded does not have a bootloader just the pda phone and csc files.
am i right to assume that the bootloader that came with the xxki3 firmware even after i flash the ugkg2 firmware remains on my phone thats why whin i flash to it the phone wont boot?
i am a noob but my understand is there is check points in the bootloader and the firmware of xxki3 that must match up and if they dont meaning u change the firmware and not the bootloader and the phone wont load? is this correct?
also is the bootloader from xxki3 secure? meaning it cant be changed?
how do i find the ugkg2 bootloader to flash with the ugkg2 firmware?
or how do i unsecured the xxki3 bootloader so i can flash back to the ugkg2
sorry for the noob questions but i have been searching for about a week now to be able to get off this xxki3 firmware so i can load a coustom rom

Galaxy S7 SM-G930A Android V6 G930AUCS4API2

Hi! I have flashed and engineer boot file to my S7 and it is stuck in a boot loop. I am having trouble finding the stock firmware to fix the problem. What I have found is not fixing the loop. Does anyone have the stock firmware I can use/buy to fix the problem? Can I use a different version as long as it is an AT&T variant? I cannot risk wiping the phone when i do this procedure.
Thanks!
You can't flash stock firmware without wiping.
Updato.com and sammobile.com have all the stock firmware for all model devices.
You should be able to flash any G930A or G930U firmware, except you won't be able to downgrade (i.e. you can't go from nougat to MM).

Thanks for the reply Beanvee! I'll check Updato.com. I wasn't familiar with this one. Sammobile and Samsung-firmware didn't have this firmware version. Anybody else out there have the firmware for this model?
Thanks

I flashed 7.0 on my S7. Also; it was a 930A I flashed to a 930F. Works excellently. I have Xposed as well. So the firmware can be found here in XDA.

N971N - Korean Firmware to Uk Firmware

I was hoping someone could help me out. I have a Korean firmware Galaxy Note 10, i have scoured through the internet trying to find a solution or a flashable firmware to change it back to the UK firmware, to my recollection they both have the same processor.
I have gone as far as rooting so that it could open some doors in terms of reverting back to the UK firmware. i was wondering if anyone could help.
Everytime i tried flashing the UK firmware using Odin it would say the bootloader is locked, however i did unlock the bootloader before attempting to flash the firmware.
Maybe the UK firmware you trynna install is older than the one you already have? Maybe it's preventing flash for such Security reasons?
Tried flashing bootloader only?
Firmware without bootloader?

would you know where i would be able to obtain the firmware?
You can't install Uk firmware onto n976n, this model has only 4 CSC available and all of them Korean.

you cant trip knox on a locked bootloader.. custom firmware would fail.. i can get any stock firmware

Is it possible to flash T-mobile stock firmware on a Cricket G7 Supra?

I know you can't flash retus without an unlocked bootloader but I didn't know if cross carrier flashing would work with stock firmware?
Thanks in advance
I don't believe that to be the case but I could be wrong
