Has anyone successfully (or have any info regarding) converted from a SM-G930U (7.0) to a SM-G930T (8.0)?
I have a completely stock, working S7 SM-G930U (that I previously converted from SM-G930V), updated to the latest Unlocked 7.0 version. I was eager to get Oreo, but didn't want to wait for 930U firmware so decided to just switch to the T-mobile version because I'm on a T-mobile MVNO. However, when I tried just flashing the G930T files with Odin it fails right after the "emmc_appsboot.mbn.lz4" step (whatever that is). This made the phone unbootable and would just boot loop.
I was able to successfully recover the phone by re-flashing the G930U files again after downloading from Updato. So the phone is working again, but I'm right back where I started.
So, my question is: Is there something different that I should be doing, or some other secret to go from U -> T, with the intent of getting Oreo? Would it work if I flashed the 7.0 version of 930T, then taken the OTA update?
Edit: As indicated in the responses below, the solution is the latest Odin version (3.13.1), and I successfully converted. Good luck!

You need to update your Odin. Oreo ROMs use a new compression format that your old Odin can't handle.

Update to what? I was using 3.12.7.
Edit: OK, looks like I found it. 3.13.1 is for Oreo, etc. Thanks for the heads-up.
Hi. I have the same Verizon s7 and have also got a 930u rom on it but I am desperate for Oreo. Have you managed to successfully flash the 930t oreo rom? And if so where did you download it from?

Yes, I was successful. You can get the firmware from Updato here: https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=SM-G930T&exact=1&r=&v=Oreo(Android+8.0.0)&rpp=15
But ignore their update instructions, as they are outdated and meant for Nougat and below. You need Odin 3.13.1, from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/guide-flash-oreo-g955fxxu1crb7-using-t3755789.
If you try with an older Odin version it will soft-brick your device (as I found). Otherwise flashing instructions are simple and the same as when you switched to 930U.
Great thanks. I will try it!
I can't get it to start. I've loaded up the firmware into odin, connected the phone in download mode and it won't start flashing. What could I be doing wrong and is it worth doing anyway?

I can't tell you if it's worth it (I think it is). But you also need the Samsung USB drivers installed on your PC, and you need USB debugging turned on, etc. Make sure you have a working connection before flashing.
It worked. Thanks!
Does it has the whole bloatware thing???
I'm still gonna flash it, but I wanna know, cuz I'm not in my house right now, and also is it laggy???

Define "bloatware thing". There's like half a dozen T-mobile apps, plus a small handful of other "pre-installed" things like Whatsapp, etc. Virtually all of them can be disabled. The only one I've found that can't is the official T-mobile account app. But I just cleared the apps data, and never use it. I'm not logged in or anything, so it sits there idle.
Regarding "laggy", I can't really say. It works as well as Nougat did. And I think I can say the battery life is definitively better.

U firmware is just firmware without carrier bloat. You can flash any carrier on an unlocked phone. I provided the link to my thread with the official TMobile Oreo stock files just get Odin. https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm.../sm-g930t-official-stock-oreo-update-t3810449
hello. I had flashed my smg930a with smg930U firmware. after that everytime I restarted my mobile, it showed error " no network connection " sometimes it picked up network after a restart and sometimes it picked up network after weeks. Tried flashing smg930a firmware again but the error remains same. Now i flashed it with smg930t firmware hoping the error will end but it shows "searching" and I've no network connection.
any help will be great.
Hi, there's bloatware and it's mildly annoying as is the t-mobile splash screen and sound effect. I'll switch bach to 930u when Oreo is available. You'll also have no data toggle swith in the shortcuts when you pull the screen down. However, I added mine using adb. You can also uninstall programs uing adb but I haven't. If anyone has the adb script for removing t-mobile apps I'd be greatful if they'd post it.

Call your network provider or carrier and see if they can change the settings or to make sure your data settings are set up right. Things like apn settings, network, etc.

What network SIM are you using? You kind of need to match the firmware with the carrier you are using, as it enable certain radios. That being said, the 930U should work universally. If it doesn't, then you probably didn't update or use the right APN settings to enable LTE. You'll have to do some online searching to look for the appropriate APN settings for your carrier, especially if you are using a firmware version that doesn't match your carrier.

Hey, so I just bought a second hand s6. When purchasing I only checked the major hardware stuff like everything in *#0#* and the calling etc and didn't bother to check other stuff which is stupid on my part. Anyway, when I got home and tried to use themes nothing happened. The Theme Store button didn't do anything when I tapped it and still didn't work after I added a samsung account and everything. There a bunch of other issues as well such as all the options in the System Update menu being pretty much useless, they all did nothing when I tapped on them.
Sorta got fed up of all this and decided to do a factory reset. Once I get back into the phone after reset, the screen grid option that you get when you pinch in was greyed out which is really annoying since the 4x4 is just not for me. Then I decided to root it so I can just get a custom rom in and get rid of all these issues altogether but when I got into download mode it said the phone's version is G920P instead of G920F. The guy I bought from said it's the international G920F and it even says G920F in the about phone section. The confusing thing is that it instead says G920P when I get into download mode. I don't even know what it is anymore, is it sprint or is it international ?
Anyway, is there any fix to all the issues I've been having like the screen grid option being greyed, the system updates menu being useless and the theme store not working at all.
Also, what do I do about rooting and roms ? Do I treat it as a sprint variant or an international variant? It'd be a pretty massive bummer if it's sprint since there are pretty much no worthwhile roms for me.
Pls halp
Here's all the stuff it says in About Device:
Model Number: SM-G920F
Android version: 5.1.1
Baseband Version: G920FXXU2COH2
Kernel Version: 3.10.61-5496010

This bad or good ? ;-;
Also worth mentioning that it says 920F on the back as well. Would flashing the whole stock firmware of 920F through odin be a feasible option ? It says 920F on the back so it has to be that variant right ? If this is possible please direct me to a firmware I should flash and a guide of how to do it, bit of a noob here.
Bumping this up before going to sleep, any help would be appreciated, thanks.
When I get mine s6 there was a sticker at the back showing its serial number. It's written on its box also. If you have this you can use Samsung kias to flash the firmware designed for your phone.
There's an S/N at the back, I'm assuming this is the serial number. I want to root and install some custom roms though but I'm not sure how to go about doing that since I don't know what version my device exactly is.
Pls halp
Attached a screenshot with more info. Hope this helps.
I'm not sure what the previous owner did but your device code name zerofltespr is P variant.
I see, so I should treat it as a sprint variant for rooting and custom roms then ? Just making sure before I go through with the stuff so I don't brick the phone.
Also, anyone got up to date links for how to root and install custom recovery on the sprint version of the s6 ?
@Skyrus5150
Download the Phone Info app for Samsung, take a screenshot and post it here.
Settings show G920F, that can be changed by editing build.prop but the back cover shows 920F as well? That's the odd part.
The previous owner has somehow got the device name to show zerofltespr which is a G920P (Sprint). Not sure how he got a CDMA device code on a GSM device.
Boot into Download Mode, see what it says there, that can't be changed as far as I know.
It will show the actual model number, whether it's 920F or 920P.
Here you go, what should I do. Yeah the bootloader says 920p but the back is 920f, maybe the phone was opened or smith.
Pls halp
Downloaded root checker, according to it the phone's rooted as well. Downloaded TWRP Manager as well, should I just go ahead and install custom recovery with it and select S6 Sprint in the device options ?

Rooted with 0x0 KNOX, some dark magic is at work here. Maybe engineering bootloader?
Anyway, just download a G920P stock firmware and flash it. Then proceed to do a factory reset/data wipe in stock recovery and have your phone back to normal, which is a G920P.
Back says G920F, but it should show an IMEI and S/N as well, do they match those of your phone? I'm certain they don't, but still... check.

LOL, the back says 920F but I entered the IMEI into two different checking services and they both show it as a 925F (S6 Edge), this phone is going places.
Anywho, the stock firmware is supposed to be flashed through odin yes ? Could you please link me to a guide and links to download, maybe even let me know which specific firmware I'm supposed to install. Sorry, I'm a former LG user and I have no idea how Odin and all these shenanigans work. Also, the phone will remain unlocked even after flashing stock firmware, yes ? Currently using it in Pakistan.

Hi community,
A question for many of us in regards to 'unlocking' or "how to unlock" from our carriers, I have done a very simple and silly way to unlock my phone from T-Mobile.
I am currently under SM-G935U Firmware (4API3), coming from SM-G935T's 4APIA Firmware.
Follow these simple steps in order to unlock from your carrier.
***NOTE: THIS METHOD ONLY WORKS IN STOCK FIRMWARES. YOUR DEVICE WILL BREAK IF YOU TRY TO INSTALL UNDER A CUSTOM ROM***
1.- If you have previously installed a custom ROM (Echoe, Tekv2), say bye bye for now. Using Odin latest version (3.12.3), flash Stock Firmware '4APIA'. After set up enable developer options and USB Debugging.
2.- Download SM-G935U's official firmware from SamMobile or Samsung-Firmwares (Make sure you download the TMO region firmware)
3.- Create a new folder on your desktop, copy and paste BL & AP files from the SM-G935U firmware you just downloaded. From the SM-G935T stock firmware you downloaded, copy and paste CP & CSC_HOME files.
*Basically you will have BL/AP from G935U and CP/CSC_HOME from G935T*
4.- Flash these files through ODIN, but WARNING: After flashing your phone will reboot. Go into recovery mode and wipe cache/data + wipe data.
5,- You will get to see a dm-verityverification failed, no mount blah blah blah. Just ignore it. After deleting cache and data reboot again into download mode...BUT THIS TIME ONLY FLASH CP file from G935T while the CSC_HOME you will flash now will be the official G935U file.
6.- After reboot, done.
I was able to install Google Voice
Sounds promising going to try this when I get home, was having all those issues with dm-verity.
Have you tried just wiping the cache and not wiping data with success? (Dirty flashing)
Or we all starting from scratch?
since root with eng kernel makes my phone burn up and kills my battery, even with all the remedies. The g935u is an option I would love to play with.
But how did you unlock the sim? You have the unlocked versions firmware so less bloat and no carrier garbage but the phone itself would appear to still be locked to TMO. Splain.
Hi there. This firmware is so much better than the stock TMO firmware, everything works excellent. I used stock tmo firmware first APIA, next tmo G935U API3 next. I tried your way first on a S7 Edge with bad IMEI and it wasn't working. I used another S7 Edge but this time I flash all the G935U API3 firmware, it work flawlessly with one simple try. Just put AP/BL/CP/CSC and flash with the latest Odin, you wouldn't have problems. My 2 other TMO S7 Edge are on stock G935U and saying official.
Hey can make a video like you did please.

Yes indeed it is. G935U feels great, faster response, no lag at all and for some reason I get 4G LTE even with Roaming (Mexico) I am still with T-Mobile...were you able to UNLOCK the SIM?

Hey bori,
Every time I flash a custom ROM or even going back to stock, I always wipe cache/data. It is just the way I like to do things on my phone, not keeping any traces from previous ROM/FIRMWARE.
Make sure you download the official Firmware from SamMobile or Samsung-Firmware.
I heard updato is a fast download Firmware site.

Well i tried last night but ended up with the same results. Goes perfect in Odin. But boots straight into recovery even though I wiped everything and reflashed cp and home csc from g935t files.
For the TMO and other SM-G935 firmware, check out THEANDROIDSOUL.COM . They have about 90% of all firmware.

I'm not a big fan of stock roms, custom is the way but this TMO G935U FIRMWARE IS THE ****TTT !!!.
The last time I used a stock Rom was from HTC EVO 4G, after that was the Sprint S2 and I never USED ANY PHONES WITHOUT A CUSTOM ROM TILL NOW.
This TMO G935U FIRMWARE, I did a ANTUTU BENCHMARK LAST NIGHT after flashing the firmware. Mennn! The score was higher than the note 7 N9300 by 4000 points, I couldn't believe it. I did a second test samething. The battery performance is excellent.
All mine said was applied multi csc now I get lte+
Nah I didn't try to unlock it yet, I have to get an AT&T sim card or simple mobile card and see if it ask for codes. If that works that will be great for everyone ?.
Which U firmware are you guys flashing and what would be the differences between them? I'm currently on the T-Mobile U firmware.
tried this... asks code also ... but anycode can give message "network successfull".
BUT its not unlocked... still "invalid sim card inserted error" is there.
So this method works or not? I want to know before I take the plunge. Also Dm verity error doesn't sound good either. I had a note edge with that error and it was a major headache.

i was able to flash g935u firmware totally.. but didnt work for me.
Hi all. As far as I can see, the U firmware unlocked the phone. I inserted a SIMPLE MOBILE CARD into my G935T running G935U firmware, the phone boot into like recovery mod but the screen go BLUE and it configures SIM UNLOCKED SYSTEM, then it reboot and walla the phone have service on SIMPLE MOBILE NETWORK. I was very SURPRISED it works because the phone is locked to T-Mobile and only the DEVICE APP to unlock it. So at this point I'm only using the G935U firmware on my G935T, no more T-Mobile firmware bull crap. Next I'll get an AT&T SIM card and try that for 30 days.

I know this is a late response but it's good to know. SimpleMobile has been running under T-Mobile Network, whether your T-Mobile Phone is locked or unlocked it will work when a SimpleMobile Sim is inserted.

[ODIN] Stock Nougat Firmware [SM-G935T] S7 Edge
Instuctions provided by jrkruse (original post)
1. You need to be on Verizon Beta Nougat 2
2. In developer options turn on OEM unlock
3. Reboot to download mode
4. Load the files you downloaded in the corresponding slots in odin BL,AP CP, CSC the files are labeled this way
you dont use the G935TUVU4BQB1_Boot_Recovery_Image.tar.md5 until later
5. Install with odin the phone will reboot to recovery to finish the csc install
6. If the csc install in recovery fails reboot to bootloader in stock recovery
7. In odin reflash the CSC file in the CSC slot in odin. The phone will reboot to recovery again and install the csc files
8. Once the phone is done installing and wiping in recovery try and catch the phone as it reboots and reboot back to
download mode (PWR+Home+Vol Down )
9. Use odin Install G935TUVU4BQB1_Boot_Recovery_Image.tar.md5 in the AP slot
10. Let phone reboot and go through setup
11. During Setup you may have trouble typing info in the setup boxes the keyboard has some bugs in setup. I recommend skipping
adding any accounts and do it after your through setup. Or use the alternative method to find your google account
12. Once through setup download 4G LTE Switch and use to Change Network to LTE/CDMA auto (PRL)
13. I recommend downloading Package Disabler Pro (It Works now) and disable all Tmobile Apps
I found samsung pay wasnt working I found that the tmb bootloaders and persist.img needed to also be flashed I made a new odin flashable package and install instructions. All seems to work now except of course volte and wifi calling.
Explanation why you need to be on nougat beta 2
Download:
TMOBILE_NOUGAT_VZW.ZIP
ODIN v3.12.3.zip
Possible Issues and solutions :
Q: after flashing the bootloaders and persist.img, it broke all data and calls and texts again.
A: they need to be all flashed at same time. Maybe Wipe data and it might work
Q: The Google "email or phone" text input box still only accepts one letter and any extra letters overwrite the previous letter typed.
A: The samsung keyboard will work fine if you just goto settings on the keyboard to language and types and change to US english.
Q: So the question is..... this worth flashing or wait for vzw?
A: Other than no volte this definitely the best running Rom so far. It is much better than beta
Q: 13. I recommend downloading Package Disabler Pro (It Works now) and disable all Tmobile Apps
Care to share your list?
A: List of Tmo apps to disable
Q: Except MMS isn't working, for me anyways. VoLTE isn`t working.
A: I got volte working and video calling maybe this will help mms for you
Download App shortcut maker from playstore
Select all activities find IMS Settings and create shortcut
Open the ims settings from the created shortcut
Choose Ims service switch
Click on MMTEL switch
Click on RCS switch
Under MMTEL section I enabled all the options
Q: Cant get this thing to flash CSC...just keep getting the dm-verity error 0x02.
A: 1:Flash all 4 files in zip.
2:let reboot and see if you get dm verity error.
3:if you get the error than reboot to bootloader and reflash all 4 again.
4:after it reboots again it will say error.
5:reboot to bootloader and flash the csc again.
Q: in 4g lte switch, i dont see the option for lte/cdma auto. could this stuff be because csc didnt flash correctly?
A: if you have the verizon data icons you know the 4g lte then it flashed correctly. If you see data icons that ate not verizon then it didnt flash correctly.
When every one is starting over are you flashing a pit file when going pack to ph1. If not you need too.

Look at you apn settings and just copy it. I didn't mention about to install nougat beta, I mentioned that it was installed successfully on nougat beta and that you must be on latest bootloader.
Okay so I have T-Mobile Nougat installed on my device, and I've changed my VPN over to VZWINTERNET, and I can't seem to get anything working (calls or data).
I'll continue to toy around with things though.

The T-Mo one you posted. Odin with ap,bl,cp and csc selected.
After toying with tons of things on the Tmo firmware, I tried booting into Odin, and flashing the Verizon pi3 CSC. That gave me a bootloop. I then tried reflashing the entire Tmo Nougat with Odin, but replacing the CSC again with Verizons, same bootloop. So now my phone is being flashed back to the trusty U MM.
I can only assume now that running the Tmo firmware on VZW will require root to make CSC edits. But Verizon will release our own Nougat before we get root.
Now I guess it's just a race between Verizon releasing 7.0, and the G935U getting it.
$50 on Verizon.
Edit: After flashing the G935U firmware again, after the first boot I was greeted with a message saying "your device must update to use new features from your SIM card." And I booted to a weird all blue screen with a big SIM card on it. I've never seen anything like that. I'm not sure if the Tmo firmware messed with stuff, so I'm going to fully flash the G935V firmware, THEN reflash the G935U firmware, just in case the G935T firmware messed something up.
they also did something to disable all package disabler apps even if you go back to MM they dont work. They screwed us goood on this
so @spiderkr were you able to get it working or just going off of other reports?

If I flash unbranded FW on a carrier specific device, loke tmo or att for example, would it sim unlock the phone?
If I flash tmo FW on an att s8 would it in turn allow me to use the att original device on tmo? I ask these questions because I feel like it would work for both my questions since flashing the FW flashes both boot, kernel and baseband/radio. The which is needed for signal. Just some theories but would love to know the answers.
Btw, I have a F model S8+ and was planning on buying some US branded devices so I was curious.

No, it will not unlock the phone (Note: Verizon phones are factory unlocked and remain that way after a firmware flash)
Yes, you can flash any carriers FW to a US S8 and use it with a different carrier.

I'm very unfimiar with combination fw and always opted for the UK models for alot of reasons. Sorry for the confusion of my op question. I know on the s7 and edge if you flashed the US unlocked firmware it not only removed AOL bloat but it unlocked the device. So that is why I ask.

I had a TMobile S7 edge and flashing unlocked firmware never unlocked the device. That's handled by TMobile servers so...
Flashing unlocked firmware will give you just that. The smoother, bloat free firmware from another device but not the actual sim unlock.
I bought an unlocked device and wanted wifi calling so I flashed the g950usqs1aqf7 att firmware with Odin and it worked to enable wifi calling but I'm unable to get any ota updates and I hate the bloat. Is it possible to get WiFi calling with an unlocked firmware like this one? Also what is the difference between the U and U1 firmware variants?

There are plenty of threads on this, but I don't think anyone was ever successful. I flashed att Oreo to my u1 and got the options, but can't get my company to change my imei back.... My personal phone sim works fine. Quit at that point since it's an Ims registration error. You can try merging the wifi calling apks, but I'm pretty sure it's baked pretty deep in the os. The Verizon guys got some of it working. You can try their threads and see if any of it applies to us.

The thread right below this one entitled Oreo ota has all the details and it needs to be side loaded through adb. Not Odin. But you will need to Odin the 950u base to get off u1

Ok thanks. I need to flash anyways because I'm having terrible battery issues and just debating whether to go to a newer version of 950u or back to U1 and losing WiFi calling. In your opinion is oreo beta worth it
So just to confirm, I have read everything, but I am just a bit confused. If I flashed the unlocked firmware via modified odin on a locked AT&T S8 it will remove a lot of the carrier bloat and give my my wifi hotspot back, but remove wifi calling. Similar to when I flashed the T-Mobile firmware on my AT&T S7 and got rid of a ton of the AT&T bloatware but was able to activate my wifi hotspot but lost wifi calling. I stay locked to AT&T which is fine that is not my purpose for flashing

Hi.
I have a G955U Galaxy S8+ AT&T Factory Unlocked on Android 7.0
Baseband Version: G955USQU1AQD9
Android Security Patch Level - April 1, 2017
I no longer live in the US, and currently in the Philippines. Phone works great and the signal is too and all, but I cannot get OTA updates.
Can I just download the firmware file in this thread and flash straight through ODIN, or do I need to follow another guide?
I have the SM-G930UP baseband version G930PVPS4BQE1

In some of the reading I have done it appears advantageous to have the carrier modem of the service provider you use; I'm assuming because the carriers tweak the modem for use with their particular infrastructure.
I don't know if that's true, but I have seen a number of posts to that effect. It sounds logical and I figure it can't hurt as long as it works.

I doubt it.
I've been using U-version (converted from SM-G930P) on T-mobile for a year and found no issues whatsoever.
I was reading the opposite, something like U-version has more LTE bands unlocked (which makes sense as it should work with all carriers)
Also someone here claimed it has extra bands for Europe. like band 7, 20

Interesting. That seems logical too.
Unfortunately I may not be flashing anything as every time I have downloaded firmware from SAMOBILE and extracted it I have got an error message that the AP portion has a problem. If I "retry" it gives me the same error. If I "skip" it unpacks everything except the AP file. I have tried several times with multiple downloads. Each one took the full two hours to download, so it's been a lengthy process with no results.
When you flashed the G930U which variant did you use?

I flashed version G930UUEU4APL2 with odin 3.12.3
It was back in January 2017. Note the number 4 in the version. This indicates bootloader version.
I believe you can no longer flash this version if your current version has 5 (or any greater number) in place of 4 because you're not allowed to downgrade the bootloader version.
Sprint is known to bump the bootloader version from 4 to 5 for (supposedly) blocking this type of conversions of their branded phones.

Sprint is currently on bootloader 6, actually. Crappy obstructionist commercialism specifically to block people converting.
I have been denying and rejecting the software updates since May of 2017 which is when I got that software version, so your G930UUEU4APL2 firmware from January would not work on this phone as my Sprint firmware is more recent.
I should be able to flash the most recent version of G930U, however. I just can't seem to download one that will extract the AP portion. It's really frustrating.

This is what I was saying. The last Sprint update I did on the phone was May 2017. I have been dismissing the update nag since then. Which means I could flash any G930U firmware with a date later than May 2017 with the same bootloader number.
Sprint has been trying to block this: their bootloader number is currently on 6, all the other carriers are on 4.

Yep. The link I used to download the latest version was in the first post of this thread. 3.13 worked just fine.
The problems I was having had to do with the my computer, but I solved them and was able to to flash the latest version of G930U.
The phone is snappy and without the annoying lag.
Call quality improved immediately. With the Sprint firmware on the T-Mobile network there was a glitch with using the voicemail icon on the dial screen - it would fail to call the voicemail and give an incomplete call error; the workaround was to call myself from contacts and enter my pin to get to my voicemail. Now the voicemail icon on the dialer takes me to voicemail without a hitch. When calling it doesn't have a 15 - 20 second wait before ringing the number (the top left of the status bar would read "Attempting"). Internet reception is also better especially in the NYC subway.
Also as soon as my phone went from Sprint to T-Mobile I could no longer send or receive pictures via text. Apparently Sprint firmware wasn't interested in sending MMS messages anymore, but with the U firmware they work just fine and regular texts go through more quickly as well.
So far battery life is about the same as far as I can tell, maybe a marginal improvement. Nothing to call home about.
But mostly I seem to get the overall desired reception improvement: it stopped dropping calls, and the call quality is solid and the undersea world that had been happening with the Sprint firmware is gone.
Also the fingerprint scanner is working better.
It's much improved.
I REALLY like how it seemlessly goes from voice on network to voice on WiFi.

Hey guys so I am brand-new to all this but need to convert my g930p to g930u. I just want to clear this up: because my software version is Q930PVPU6CRE7, I won't be able to flash the version OP used but must find a version with a 6 in it?
I'm in the same boat with my wife's phone. Limited bands available meaning it's on 3G more often than not, and MMS won't work if connected to WiFi. Not to mention the sprint junkware... is there any way to change from G930P to a G930U firmware if the phone is currently on bootloader version 6? I don't mind rooting...
I flashed G930U on G930P but network still not working. It shows unknown network and Radio Off. Mobile can read SIM menu and Contacts but no signal. Any help please?
EDIT: Now I know that changing ROM or rooting does not network unlock.
