SM-G930U Now Flashes to SM-G930T

With the latest update of PI3 on the SM-G930U the bootloader is now on version 4. Found out trying too flash a version 2 bootloader from Verizon firmware.
What this means? Users on the SM-G930T that wanted a bloat free smooth firmware can enjoy just that now by downloading and flashing the latest PI3 firmware on sammobile or samfirm tool.

Damn ! That's some good news after so long !

So you were able to flash the SM-G930U firmware now?

Perfect.. hope you are enjoying the ROM.

Can you root this firmware?
Edit: Root is possible.

Be careful if you want to go from 930T to 930U and then back to 930T...I had to use Smart Switch because I was getting an error when flashing AP with ODIN...

Just a note, you'll lose FM radio support. I was really hoping they would include it in the update, but no love sadly. I have the U and am considering flashing the T for it. Comes in handy at the gym for watching tv, but then I'll have bloat. Decisions decisions.

Can I flash the tmobile modem over this and get the 4x4 mimo support? Or does that also include some code in the firmware?

No issues on my end. I flashed T then back to U without any hassle. Probably is your odin or faulty usb cable or port.

On another thread someone said to flash the tmobile radio from the latest build to get TMB specific features. You can try at your own risk and report back.

A somewhat silly question but does flashing the U firmware automatically unlock the SIM? Or is it still SIM locked?

No, flashing the U firmware does not Sim Unlock the device. You must first unlock then flash if you want to switch carriers. Otherwise just flash and use your same provider SIM.

Should i be able to get the JC update through Smart Switch?

I'm on GL and when I check Smart Switch it says I'm up to date, but I know there is a JC update out there for my phone. So should I be able to get JC through Smart Switch?

why don't you flash Cricket firmware on your phone from here. :
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=F16BA8328DDA11E7963AFA163EE8F90B
Then you should receive updates all the time.

Thats cool, I didn't realize that Cricket had their own firmware for the S8+.
Is Cricket slow to update?
It looks like G955U1UEU1AQH3 is still on the August security patch.

Still need a little help, got a couple more questions.
Do I need to flash all 5 files that are in the zip? And if so which CSC file do I flash first? Will odin 3.12 work?

I cannot even do a backup with Smart Switch with my AT&T S8+ I could on my S7. Do not know what is going On???

Android Oreo comfirmed

As I mentioned earlier we will get oreo and they will skip 7.1.1.

Very cool! Looking forward to it! :good:

I'm expecting the bootloader will be anti rollback but hopefully some kind of method is found so root and custom ROMs can still be done with Oreo on the H918.

Yep I would for sure make a flashable if the files are the same

As long as att releases Oreo. If not this version can be ported to support the other variants. If a dev is up to it. Hopefully. Then the v20 can also receive lineage 15.1
Edit: sent an email to LG inquiring about a possible att oreo software update. Basically said they had no plans in the immediate future and to contact att about it instead

I will port Oreo to the H910 if AT&T doesn't release it. I can't do it for other models since I don't own them. Well, I will TRY, but it is hard if you don't have a device to test on....
I know I can *PROBABLY* do it for the H915, H910PR, the VS995, and the LS997
-- Brian

Sorry to say that but LG has a very lazy software development team

Cool. What about H990N (Hong Kong)?

Will the model US996 get it as well? Us unlocked GSM

Not sure they, however, did say the V20 will receive the update so you could assume they mean all the variants.

Maybe they accidentally leave a loop hold in the oreo version. I mean we pay for the device why lock us in. I mean if you have the warranty it's up to you to root and lose it but if you are already out of it then they should just let you do what you want but if anything happens it just on you.

you can't... it's a fuse that's blown once it's set so the best to can do is leave it at 1 and give us back fastboot. if they release it as ARB 0, every owner of the LGV20 is ****ed that updated to the current as of right now including users that didn't root

Will unlocking the bootloader in view 10 wont give me ota updates?

I want to unlock bootloader before i start using view 10 permanently as unlocking bootloader wipes data. So i wanted to know does unlocking bootloader stops view 10 from receiving ota updates too. Pls help

No, if only unlock it you will still receive OTA updates.
Once you flash TWRP or a custom rom you won't get them any more

Thanx bro cause someone was saying that after unlocking bootloader he received update but then after flashing the update his update option went away. He says no matter whatever update now he flashes, he still remains on his previous version. So wanted to confirm this

Btw what is the command to relock bootloader

No idea about that, I was only n stock long enough to get one update lol. Now I'm on a custom rom so I won't get them any more anyway
But from all I know the bootloader unlock has absolutely nothing to do with updates, only flashing a custom recovery or rom will stop them.

Yes it was - unlocking was the 1st thing I did :laugh: :angel:
I wouldn't worry about it anyway - if all else fails you can just re-lock the bootloader again. Or do what I did, ditch Emui and use a nice OpenKirin custom rom

Wow this huawei is surely problematic. In snapdragon i remember i had a mobile which didn't even had volte but the devs made it available by patching the modems. And here even after 2 years of it kirin is giving so many problems.

T-Mobile variant clarification

After reading a few threads, it would seem that there is an msmtool for the tmobile variant now but still no method for root? I'm not counting the method to convert to international version.
Do I have this all correct or am I missing something?

The T-Mobile MSM tool is to revert back to the T-Mobile firmware. If you use the MSM tool to convert from the T-Mobile version to the international version, you can root but you must be SIM unlocked prior to converting to the international version.

Is there no way to just root on my stock rom? I kinda just want a custom kernel and themes.

There are no issues what do ever with LTE of Wi-Fi Calling. They work great. The newest update for the Global/International version fixed the issue some had with Wi-Fi calling not switching over fast enough.
