Hi family xda. Sorry for my bad English because it's not my native language. If you help me, you will be very happy to me.
I wanna ask some questions.
I recently bought a used SM-G930T. But i did don't know it's T mobile phone. I living in Turkey. I don't know this phone history(where did import to my country ? or who before owners, I buy that local phone shop.) Just one know it this phone import to my country abroad country. imei its the original imei write on the phone and it's box. Registered in someone's passport not illegal it's legal. I check it government site.
This phone release 6.0.1 Marshmellow. I wanna update this phone 7.0. I try manually but phone says me ''The device is up to date''. And then I download new firmware on sammobile for my phone model. SM-930T 7.0 T mobile firmware. I wanna update with odin. But I wonder it. I put in my simcard and I use this phone smoothly. I don't know this phone simlock or locked before owner. If the sim is locked the previously owner,somehow being unlocked. If I update this phone with odin 7.0. It's lockable again ? Thanks in advance.

G930TUVS4BQL2_TMB4BQL2 then odin it, it should bring your phone back to Nougot
then if you want to root and stuff follow this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-s7-s7edge-oreo-nougat-t3819616
go to under settings and account to see if that phone is using someone else account info? if its registered to google or samsung accounts with someone else name then if you do factory reset it will lock you in, other than that you shouldn't have any issues

Hi everyone,
I flashed the leaked ROM I9505XXUFNA5 to my GT-I9505 LTE back in January when it came out, all went fine. However, now when I try to flash the official Android 4.4.2, say I9505XXUFNB8, via odin v3.09 the process will fail after 20 seconds and I have to flash the leaked ROM again in order to have a functioning phone. My phone is carrier free and it is not rooted.Can anyone help me please !
Thank you in advance,
MaximusDacicus

You just killed your EFS :/
You still got a chance:
you can stay with the leaked rom, but you will have to install the latest "modem" (included in rom failed to install) while you keep the romactually installed
thats the only way it can be lucky and may be EFS get back to work may be. I suppose you dont have any EFS backup, so if restoring it fails that way --> you will have to get it repaired. Will be at least 40$ i think...
There a many posts on xda about EFS, but once gone, it is gone. Feel free to read some hours about it

1. IMEI code is not messed up (it's the same as the one on on the package);
2. I still have carrier signal;
3. I can lock the sim card by pin code
Do you know other signs that would lead to the conclusion that the EFS file is broken ?

Carrier free it means that my phone it's not sim locked in any network. My phone is working fine. I just want to install an official ROM not to stay with the leaked one. I want to install the one for my country so that when I connect to samsung kies via PC the csc and pda of my phone to match up in order to receive updates or to simply for KIES to recognise my phone. The bottom line is that I find it strange that I can't flash 4.4.2 product code COA (Romania) I9505XXUFNB8.

what region is the leaked fw for?
It's from the Sammobile, It seems I can't post links.
Country more likely Germany

Thats due to its a branded rom you tried to install (COA = cosmote branded).
Here is the unbranded version you need (ROM = unbranded for your country):

Good morning XDA,
I'm in desperate needing help, sorry but English is not my first language.
My brother bought a S7 G930F - Exynos that was GSM locked with one company here in Brazil, so he paid a guy to unlock it.
After getting the phone back I notice that the phone now shows G930FD, when I use *#06# to see the IMEI, shows two number, as if it was Dual SIM and both numbers are different that what is written in the back of the phone and the box and the rom seem to be 6.01 but with a lot of programs pre-installed.
So I downloaded the newest ZTO stock rom from SamMobile and flashed, now the phone is on 7.0 but can't connect to the network and still show the tow differents imei numbers.
Any tips or guidance and how can I Solve this?
Thanks, TggB!

He mess up your EFS partition and who know what else
Anyhow , check this thread

HI,
I have been on MM for a while and wanted to upgrade my phone to the latest nogut firmware.
So I downloaded latest firmware from sammobile, then did a factory reset, and flashed the phone via odin.
Everything went great, except I can not call or use data.
It shows "Not registered on network."
Can anyone please help fix this?
For your information, the phone was sent to me from Vietnam by a relative.
I downloaded a firmware of my region, Bangladesh from sammobile.
But it is now showing INS as the CSC instead of BNG
Could this be a reason? Do I need to download firmware from Vietnam region instead?
I actually don't remember what was the csc code before upgrading.
Thanks for any kind of input.
Reported lost or stolen, IMEI blocked maybe

Why would it be reported stolen after all this time?
moreover, My relative sent it with original box, charger cable headset etc with it.
I guess you can't steal a phone with all those accessories.
Anyway I still checked both of the IMEI's here.
http://www.imeipro.info/
both reported clean. Nor sure how authentic this site is though.
The problem appeared as soon as I upgraded the firmware.
If it was reported, then why was it working before?
sorry for the questions, I don't really know much about these.
If anyone else have this issue, I needed to take the phone to a repair shop, where they used octoplus v 2.5.7
A simple click on "network repair" fixed the issue.

So I've bought a second hand galaxy s7. It is a Canadian model SM-G930W8 . I live in Greece and have to use a greek sim card , the phone recognizes the sim card , but in the info it says unknown. Prior to an update I made it worked fine , but after the software update I am unable to get network reception . Anybody happens to know a way to fix the problem ? Will flashing a greek firmware solve the issue ?
You can try flashing just the home_csc, which contains carrier and frequency settings, from the Greek firmware onto your G930W8, but I'm not sure how different the 930W8 is to the 930F so you might risk a bootloop and have to flash stock. So make sure you've got what you want backed up.
What was the source of the update? Phone shows the correct IMEI?
I believe the 930w8 is exclusive to Canada.

Somehow the update messed it up? Is it a stock update from Canada? I have a Canadian s7 from bell on 7.0
I updated the phone from samsung smart switch , the phone was probably modded beforehand to run greek sim cards, and the seller never mentioned this.And with the update the mod was most likely wiped or something.

Try a different stock from sammobile or a Greek rom. But there shouldn't be that issue. Mine works in London with no problems.
I asked about the imei to ensure that the phone is showing the correct imei.
The model number has been confirmed in download mode?
Yeah I went in download mode and it is the one I have stated above , same model number on the back of the phone , I will check the imei when I get a hold of the phone , because a friend has it right now. Will try to flash greek firmware. And report back.
I booted into recovery and what is said there
-- applying multi-csc...
Applied the csc-code : TLS
successfuly applied multi-csc
That means that the phone is using the Canadian Telus Home.csc (I guess) .
So would flashing the home.csc from the Greek firmware work ? Does it have a chance to hard brick the phone ?
I bought an S7 recently with an IMEI blocked by T-Mobile.
Update: I have, successfully, flashed to G930U. This was done through Odin following this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...g930u-firmware-to-t-mobile-s7-t3533918/page1
Good news is that when I insert a different SIM card I now get access to a prompt asking for an unlock code. Maybe I can unlock it for Verizon, Sprint, etc?
Bad news is that I currently am on MintSIM which use T-Mobile networks. So it cannot be activated.
More information: I did ring up multiple times to T-Mobile and managed to get a difinitive answer that "Yes" it is still being financed, and therefore only the account holder can activate it.
I think my best option is to sell it making the bad IMEI number clear. Or to purchase a broken S7 in hopes of replacing the IMEI number physically.
Previously:
I want to switch firmware so I can unlock the IMEI without going through T-Mobile. Would it be possible to use Odin to flash Sprint firmware or Deoxed firmware?
I rooted the S7 and tried to install the Deoxed firmware through FlashFire but the S7 interrupted and restored it to default firmware. Which app files do I need to disable to stop this happening?

There is a guy that can change or unlook your IMEI, look in the forum you can find him. Change the rom or firmware does not change your IMEI.
hope it can help

I have changed the IMEI number to an old phone of mine. Which is legal AFAIK, but it still isn't letting the phone be unlocked by T-Mobile.
