SM-920F unable to dial (call/use the phone app) on custom ROMs - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I'm hoping someone can help me with the following issue. For a long time I used a custom ROM(NNE 3.1) and was able to call out and to be called. Until recently the Phone App just started to crash on any number I wanted to dial to. Since I haven't reset the phone for a long time, I chose to try out some newer ROMs, assuming the calling out/in problem would be solved.
However, whatever custom ROM I'm trying, calling doesn't work anymore. After re-flashing the stock firmware(Stock Samsung Android 7 - G920FXXU5EQI6_G920FPHN5EQI2_PHN) with Odin, I was able to call and to be called again.
After which I thought/hoped, maybe the stock ROM would have fixed the Phone App issue, so I tried various custom ROMs installed with TWRP, but with none of them the Phone App works. Not even with the exact same ROM I've been using for a long time. (I backed-up that ROM back then, and re-flashed the exact same file this time [NNe 3.1]).
What am I missing here? Some Samsung hardware security feature that got flipped back somehow?
Help is much appreciated...the stock firmware is so slow...
Thanks in advance!

[Completed] [Q] Install Lollipop on SGH-I337

I have a S4 that I am trying to upgrade to Lollipop. I tried through the AT&T Software update and keep getting "Software Update Interrupted." I remember I had rooted it quite awhile ago (towelroot)? But I am selling the phone now and just want to restore it to stock and upgrade it to lollipop. Kies says it is updated (which of course it's not). I do not have an external SD card. I did a "Factory data reset" from settings to see if that would allow me to update but it didn't. I did some reading and a lot of old Google posts said just to bring it to Best Buy. Are there any other options as those are outdated and I am doubting BB will be willing to help. Any and all help appreciated! Thanks!

Hi, xml to put for using XDA Assist. If you're rooted or made any system changes the ota will not work. You probably have to flash the nb1 tar file in Odin and start over.

Two-Part Question: Manually Install Nougat and Then Root

Samsung Note 5
Model: SM-N920P
Android Version: 6.0.1
Baseeband Version: N920PVPS2BPD1
Kernel Version: 3.10.61-7231607/[email protected] #1/Thu Mar 31 14:24:41 KST 2016
Build Number: MMB29K.N920PVPS2BPD1
Rooted (do not remember the method I used to root)
After thoroughly troubleshooting issues with several Google Apps, I need to wipe my phone and start from scratch. I am currently running Marshmallow with OTA blocked. All of my data is already backed up. First question, once I wipe, will the phone automatically install Nougat? If not, what is the best way to manually upgrade to Nougat before wiping the phone? Second question, what is the cleanest and most effective way to root my phone once wiped and running Nougat?

LG Stylo 3 Plus T-mobile TP450 Sept 2017 software update?

Hi all, I got the notification of a T-mob software update end of September 2017 for my T-mob LG Stylo 3 Plus, the TP450. It currently is sporting the Android 7.0 with April 1 security patch, Kernel version is 3.18.31 and the soft version is TP45010b.
I am not seeing anything about that update on the T-mobile site.
Questions please, if you know:
- is this just a security patch as I'm guessing or a more serious Android version update?
- More importantly for now: if I go ahead and do it, will I lose all my apps etc? IOW does the phone reset to "stock" status with that update?
TIA

Just update with LG Bridge. You can regain root, either with SuperSU or Magisk, afterwards.
sorry if I wasn't clear. The phone is not rooted, for now, has stock recovery etc, and I need to keep it that way for a while. (edited OP for clarity)
well, since there was no reply about updating the stock phone, I took a chance and did the update, and if you are interested, it did NOT reset the phone. All my apps and their settings are still there apparently.
Good to know.
IT is now Soft v. TP450c . Sec patch is dated Aug 1 2017. Still Android 7.0 and Kernel 3.18.31

As a rule, a software update on a stock phone does not reset the system. Could you imagine the outrage if it wiped everything every time your phone updated? Even during a major version update it may. be recommended to factory reset, the manufacturer doesn't do that. They want you to keep using them and their phone and don't want to make it harder for you than necessary so you dont try another carrier or manufacturer.

Need GUIDE to ROOT my SM-J727P

It is my hope to locate the necessary files & utilities, ie., Odin, ROM, Recovery, TWRP, etc.,
to ROOT my phone, FIRST with a STOCK, DE-BLOATED firmware. If de-bloated is not an option, then a TWRP option would be the next most desirable.
It has been quite sometime (Summer 2013 on a Motorola Droid RAZR) since I flashed a phone with a custom ROM.
SO, it could be said I'm a bit rusty.
Please, TREAT ME LIKE AN IDIOT. As if I know nothing. Explain things as if talking to a child.
You CANNOT possibly hurt my feelings.
I need a clearly written, step-by-step instruction manual to perform the flashing of the phone.
I am very proficient in Windows, but am using an antique emachine running XP-SP3 with 512M of RAM, and 2.93GHz proc.
So, it has Wi-Fi to my phone, but no access to internet if the phone gets bricked.
A good backup plan, IN ADVANCE, is advisable. Suggestions are welcome.

Galaxy S7 recent apps button crashes phone after security patch

Today I installed the march security patch on my Samsung Galaxy S7, but soon after installing it I noticed that whenever I press the recent apps button my phone crashes. It does show the animation of the current screen turning into a card, but it does not show the recent apps. After that the screen goes black like it does when pressing the power button and the phone is locked.
The problem does not appear on the S7 of a friend of mine, even after installing the same update.
I have tried wiping cache and running in safe mode, and even factory resetting it, but nothing helps.
The problem does seem to be software related, because a test using 'one handed mode' with the software recent apps button had the same result.
Does anyone have an idea what would be the cause and what could fix it?
Some additional info on my phone, the installed security patch and the software version:
Model: SM-G930F
Android version: 8.0.0
Security patch level: March 1, 2019
I hope I provided enough information and posted in the right place.
Thanks in advance!

It simply notified me of the update like it always does, I pressed install, it restarted and went through the update process and booted up again.
Maybe I should mention my device is not rooted.
I'll just send everything on the software information screen so you have all the info you need, I hope
