i guess you could try one from tmobile since they are partnered with tmobile? otherwise i didn't seem to find one..
why did you try flashing a firmware in the first place if I might ask?
You can tried Sammobile website.

we have a thread in the general section with all firmwares posted. It's stickied.
Hi,
I do have an unlocked version of Samsung Galaxy S7; model SM-G930F(international model), which I brought from Jet.com. I am using T-mobile sim prepaid sim on it.
For the past few weeks its showing problem of re-starting and hangs on Samsung boot screen(first screen with Samsung name and galaxy s7 logo) with blue light on top always on. I tried factory reset, but did not work and happens too often these days. There is no fixed way of getting out of it. Sometimes it works by clearing the cache, at times by logging in on safe mode and rebooting, then at times by charging for a while and turning it on etc...
From looking into the forums and discussion, I have the feeling that its related to bootloop or bricked phone. The only thing left to do is install firmware once again with ODIN. But I am confused on which firmware to download. Can anyone help me with which is the best one to install? Below is the phone details.
AP : G930FXXU1BPLB
CP: G930FXXU1BPJJ
CSC: G930FUUB1BPL4
Any help of this is much appreciated.
you should install all of them, in the order it says,

OK. But do you have the link to the firmware that I can use? I am not sure from the above information which firmware would be suited for my version of Galaxy S7. Looking for the downloadable firmware.

Hi mate
You had a Marsmellow firmware you can basically flash any official firmware you want , as long as it belongs to a G930F , pick a country similar or same to where you live
Check here
Get a Nougat firmware they are working fine, follow the intruction in how to flash , pick CSC or home_csc , CSC will factory rest your phone will it leave it like new , if you use home_csc has to be same as the one you have your phone then you will not lose any data
SM - G930F
Thank you!!
I got the file downloaded now. Do I need to select all the AP, BL, CP and CSC on the ODIN software to reset it?

Today morning again the phone got hanged in the bootscreen. So, I decided to run the ODIN3 with all the 4 files selected. I installed the Samsung drviers and followed all the instruction and run the application with all the 4 files selected. The process showed success in the ODIN3 application. But even after that, the phone is stuck on the bootloader Samsung with Galaxy S7 logo.
Any idea what to do next or how to resolve this issue?

OK.... here is the SAD news.. I gave the phone for repair on a local cellphone shop. They did some testing on it and said its related to software. After trying to fix it with installing software and other fix they called me a while back and said `THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT`.
Not sure what to do with it. Bought this unlocked only 6 months back and its already dead....
Never going for another Galaxy for sure.

I just got my phone about a month ago, it's currently running in Android 6.0. I'm trying to update my OS through Odin but I don't know which firmware is the correct one. I don't know which of the figures I see in settings is my firmware.
Do I download any PDA for S7? Is the baseband version I see under software info my firmware? Or is it the build number?
I'm so lost. Please help me out, guys.
My phone model number is SM-G930F
Baseband Version: G930FXXU1APDA
Since the G930F is international the firmware is pretty much the same other than carrier changes.
If you go to updato.com or sammobile.com and enter in the model (SM-G930F) and filter by your country and carrier, you'll have all the firmware for your device by release date. But if you really wanted to you could use another country and carrier without issue.
They should also have flash guides for Odin on the site.
Download app called Phone Info *Samsung* and give us screenshots from Software card. We will know for sure.

For some weird reasons, I can't upload the screenshot.
But here's what I see.
Firmware and Active CSC code are both XSG
CSC Country is Korea. There are no product CSC and original CSC infos available.
Under firmware tab:
Bootloader version is G930LKLU1APDA
PDA Version is G930FXXU1APDA
CSC Version is G930LLUC1APDA
Baseband version is G930LKLU1DPLP
If there's any other info you'd like me to add, please let me know. Thanks, by the way.

Oh! so basically I can download any PDA I see for G930F and they wouldn't be any issue but there would only be an issue when I download G930V or G930A for my phone, right? Am I correct?
This is all mixed up. You cannot determine what what it is.
Best thing to do now, is to go to download mode and see what model is displayed there.

Pretty much, it's still best to flash for your country / carrier as things like VoLTE, OTA updates, and carrier bands vary in firmware versions.

You have G930L version, not F. So you need to download L firmware. Where are you from?
Has anyone succeeded in enabling volte for this model. Especially in India it doesn't work with Reliance Jio simcard.
Can someone advice about this?

I imagine you need to change your phone CSC's. To do that you need a PC with Windows and an internet connection (you need Latest Odin3 and Samsung USB Drivers), your Galaxy A8 with its USB-C to USB cable, latest official firmware for your model and csc and the Factory Firmware tar for your phone and with correct bootloader rev (to know what's your current bl rev download "Phone Info ☆Samsung☆" app from Play Store and check your Bootloader version inside it, the bootloader rev is after the phone model number and fw country/type; ex. A530FXXU3):
- A530F Rev 1
- A530F Rev 2
- A530F Rev 3
- A730F Rev 1
- A730F Rev 2
- A730F Rev 3
If you downloaded and installed all the needed, do a backup of all your data and files, then follow those steps:
1. Boot your phone in Download mode
2. Open Odin3 as Administator, go in "Options" tab and enable Auto Reboot and Re-Partition, then click on the AP button and select the COMBINATION tar file you downloaded previously
3. Connect your phone to your pc and click the Start button in Odin3, flash should start
4. You phone now should boot in Factory Firmware. Select IMEI option at the bottom of the screen to bring up the dial pad, then dial *#243203855#
5. Select your new CSC code (in your case INS) and wait for it to install and reboot
6. Wait for phone to reboot and do a Factory Reset in Settings app
7. Reboot to Download mode again and setup Odin3 like before
8. You now need to flash your official firmware, so put all the tars from the firmware you downloaded on their section (AP inside AP, BL inside BL, CP inside CP and CSC inside CSC)
9. Connect back your phone in your pc and click Start in Odin3
Your phone should now be back to the Stock Firmware and with the correct CSC set, to check it go inside Settings>About phone>Software info>Service provider SW ver. and check if the first CSC sales code matches the one you choosen previously.

Thanks for your detailed reply. Unfortunately there is no official INS firmware available for this model as it's not been launched in India. I tried flashing it with other countries firmware but it didn't work. Is there any other way?

You can try to flash A530F AP, BL, CP tars with A730F INS CSC tar. If it doesn't works you unfortunately need to root your device to install the correct csc in system (the guide I explained before is for non-rooted devices)

It's like one month we are behind it actually lol, but since recently you can finally root safely your device with flashing my TWRP 3.2.3+Magisk v17.1. Would suggest to flash my custom kernel also (MCK), but I wanna suggest to wait till' next version comes out since there will be a lot of under-the-hood improvements over the current version (v1.2)

As I said previously, you need to set the correct CSC sales code in your device in order to get the features you need for your country/SIM. To do that you can follow the guide I wrote above or, if you're rooted, you just can edit the "/efs/imei/mps_code.dat" file and replace the current CSC with the one you prefer.

Hi there,
I purchased a note 8 SM-N950F few days back. It was working perfectly till I got an OTA notification. I downloaded it and updated my phone and boom there it goes stuck on Galaxy Note 8 Powered by android screen.
I waited for 20 minutes (long than usual) then restarted it forcefully.
It then started to boot to android with closed eyes [possibly missing recovery screen] and after that back to galaxy note 8 powered by android screen [the loop continues].
I tried many firmwares with no luck,
Then I found a way to start it up, by flashing everything except CSC. In this way my phone started and I'm able to use it normally but with these following issues:
Internal storage 32Gb instead of 64Gb
Codes like *#0*# or *#06# etc not working
Once I factory reset it, the same problem occurs and I have to flash again in the same way i.e. without CSC, if flashed with CSC it doesn't boot up and the problem with that android logo with `x` on his eye persists.
Need help pleaseeee.

You flashed the wrong firmware, the firnware that you flashed was for the 32GB version of your device, that's why it won't boit correctly when you flash the CSC.
Find the same firmware version for the 64GB version of your device.

Try finding a PIT file for your model number, then flash the stock firmware along with the PIT file, the PIT file goes in the PIT tab in Odin. The PIT is what tells Odin which partitions to flash the various parts of the firmware to.
Place the firmware file(s) in their slot(s), then make sure the "re-partition" option in Odin has a check beside it, then go to the PIT tab in Odin and place the PIT file in its slot. Then click the start button in Odin.
If it still bootloops after flashing, try booting to recovery and factory reset then wipe cache partition then reboot.

Thanks alot I'll try later today and will update here. One thing, should I be worried about backing up efs folder? Oem is not unlocked as device is in prenormal state.
Can I backup efs folder without root? If yes how so? I can't find any method to back it up without root.

So here is what I did,
I already had the same firmware downloaded, so I downloaded the PIT file extracted it and flashed the firmware with all files including the PIT file and checked the re-partition.
Odin flash passed.
Device reboots in recovery and starts installing the firmware same as it did for OTA update,
after installing it reboots again and goes to the same "No command" screen :/
I can only able to run my phone if I flash everything except CSC i.e. AP,CP & BL. [Same issue as stated in start of thread]
Any other suggestion please?
