Is there an american release for this firmware? The one I have seems to be an indian one and only has h data
The G930A is an American phone (It's the AT&T S7 model), it should only have American firmware.
Check updato.com or sammobile.com for G930A firmware.
I soft bricked and had to reflash it. Sammobile does not have any for the g930a but updato has g930az would that work?
Looks like the G930A was actually replaced by the G930U, so you can just use the G930U firmware. It's the unlocked generic firmware that works on any US S7 model anyway.
G930AZ looks like its for carrier Cricket, so probably not the best fit for your phone.
Here is the link to g930a firmware: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818222786056037245
this is the G930AUCU4CRE4 version

My wife has an S7 (at&t) G930A also. Oreo drains the battery from 100 to 20% in about 2 hours of light use. I just tried to download the FW for G930U from both Sammobile and Updato. In both cases when I extract them to a folder I get a message from Winrar that the files are corrupt. Not sure why.
Went and got a fresh download of 7zip and it ran without a problem. This may be this weekend's project.

Hi all,
I successfully rooted my S7 from Nougat using the guide below:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/heres-how-rooted-nougat-s7-edge-g935t-t3567502
But performance seems to be suffering since then. I'd like to unroot back to stock, but:
1. Can't find a stock firmware image of G930A to use with Odin
2. The newest version of Samsung Switch no longer has the "Device Initialization" tab as shown in the guide here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QhJngOuLQ4
3. I've tried with Samsung Kies as well, which seems to not properly recognize my device serial number.
Has anyone had success in finding an older version of Switch or other methods of unrooting the G930A?
Hi, same problem. Did you ever solve this? Thanks!
You checked both sammobile.com and updato.com?
If so try G930U firmware since it's just the unbranded firmware for US phones, works on all of them.

I did actually solve this a few days ago to unroot my Galaxy S7 G930A.
I used:
Odin V3.12.3 Patched
G930U Firmware (AP, BL, CP, and CSC files) from Updato (https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=9CDE46F3EB8211E7A5F9FA163EE8F90B)
After doing this it honestly feels like I have a brand new phone. Huge performance jump compared to the rooted package.
I was wondering if it's possible to enable VoLTE on an SM-G930F running BTU firmware on an AT&T carrier. Is there any way to get things like WiFi Calling and VoLTE on it, or am I just screwed since I'm using the international variant of the phone?
When I first got it brand new from Wal-Mart, it was running TTT firmware (from Trinidad and Tobago for some reason) and showed normal 3G, 4G, and LTE symbols on my status bar. Since I wanted to get the Nougat update early, I flashed BTU which switched the symbols to H, H+, and 4G. Does that have anything to do with it?
Thanks.
You're certain it's a G930F? And from Walmart of all places? Exynos isn't meant to be sold in the US.
If it's a G930F and you have TWRP you can flash the CSC tool in the development section which has the US carriers, and CSC is what enables VoLTE.
If it's a US snapdragon model you could flash the AT&T CSC via Odin without needing TWRP.

If OP successfully flashed BTU then it has to be a Exynos G930F, but I agree, most phones sold in the US claiming to be the G930F are modded Snapdragons faked to look like it, but they obviously won't allow a Exynos ROM to be flashed to them, so in this case OP has got a real Exynos
Could be the modem (CP) part of the firmware controlling which carrier services you can receive in your region, not sure I'd recommend flashing a US modem to a UK firmware though, unsure what would happen, although the G930F is pretty straight forward to unbrick as long as you can get back into download mode

Where is this CSC tool? I'm not sure what you mean by "development section". I have an Oreo G930F and I'm trying to get VoLTE to work with AT&T.

It hasn't been updated with the newer versions of Android so it's not really a thing anymore.
Next best thing is to download the entire firmware package for your carrier from somewhere like updato then flash only the home_CSC file. Although iirc this might now work if mixing and matching models, which is why the CSC flash tool was a thing.

The trouble is that the G930F was never officially released on US markets, so I can't find a US firmware. I'd gladly use another market's firmware if I knew it would support AT&T VoLTE and "LTE only" mode, but I have no idea how to figure that out!
So it turns out that I have the Canadian SM-G930W8 (as shown on the download mode screen), not the G930F (as shown everywhere else). Identical hardware, but I can only flash Canadian firmware.
I have flashed both the ATT and USC firmwares for the SM-N970U1 but still no wifi calling option. At this point I don't know if I've actually flashed the ATT firmware or not. Odin says Pass. Under the Service Provider SW ver. it makes mention of ATT/ATT/XAA but I'm not sure if that means the phone is on the ATT network or if that's firmware info. How do I tell what firmware I've actually flashed?

There is already a thread on this and one of the members was nice enough to post exactly what firmware to flash.
I suggest looking for that thread its exactly what you need
That thread is for the Note 10 plus. I'm asking about the Note 10. That's where I got the idea to flash the USC version from but like I said, didn't work.

Bummer, figured the thread would give you enough guidance to get it done on the smaller one.
Of course samsung has to make it difficult lol
I used the home_csc file instead of the csc. That should not have been an issue. I assume I'm still on the unlocked firmware but I have no clue. I don't see any AT&T bloatware or Logo. I downloaded the firmwares from the sammobile site. Even downloaded from the samfirm app just in case. So I flashed 3 times. No difference.

What did you type into the SamFirm when you searched for firmware for your AT&T?
SM-N970U1 and ATT

Maybe ATT doesn't put their firmware online as I tried searching and couldn't find on SamFirm. I am on T-Mobile and we have 2 different firmware versions.
If I type in SamFirm the following:
1) SM-N970U1 and region: TMB - I will get pretty much same unlocked firmware that I had on the phone, nothing will pretty much change after flashing this firmware.
2) SM-N970U and region: TMB - I will get T-Mobile firmware that is on their branded devices and all features.
Ask the OP in the below thread for latest ATT firmware file(userdata). If you recently flashed firmware, but the firmware in the thread is a bit older, you may not be able to flash until newer version is released.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10/how-to/n970u-n970u1-firmware-links-t3957705
So should I search for SM-N970U and ATT instead?
I did also do an ota update when I first got my phone so I have the August security update. Not sure if that's an issue since I have newer update?

Normally that is correct, but it doesn't look like ATT is putting their firmware up on server as other carriers do.
Go to the link I provided of that thread. Click on the first link that says U firmware. Then look a bit down where is says: SGO - 1 - 9.0. After this link opens, you will see first 2 files: N970U_SGO_1.zip and USERDATA_ATT... You can try to download these files, extract to a folder and flash including the userdata file. If it fails, then you may need to wait until this person provides new firmware and you will need to download the firmware and that userdata_att
Yeah At&t is horrible about posting firmware. I usually just use USC firmware and once installed it will provision to At&t based on sim and you will get all At&t carrier options such as Volte..wificalling..advanced messaging.

Thanks yeah that's what I'm about to do. My mistake was downloading from the U1 section instead of U. So confusing. Why even have any carrier firmwares under the U1 section?
Flashed the U / USC firmware and got AT&T firmware.

Are you on the July security patch? I just did this process with the ATT firmware and it says up to date with July security patch. On the U1 unlocked firmware, I was on August already. I just wanted to be sure I didnt mess up something and it wont update properly.
I am on the August security update. That was part of the USC firmware. I didn't do an ota update after flashing so at this point I don't know if ota updates will work for me.

Did you download your files from here https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=297974 ? Thats here I got mine and its for the SGO firmware on Note 10. Im thinking something went wrong now becasue mine wont update OTA and smart switch says im up to date when there is another firmware for ATT out - ASH4 version.
I got it from samfirm which is the ash4 version.

I bought a new S7 (G930F) at ebay. When it arrived i wanted to update to the newest firmware, but i got an error notification.
I contacted Samsung and they told me to send it in.
They checked it and told me, that they are not willing to help because the phone is flashed with a wrong firmware. I bought it as a new device. This is unpleasant.
The seller doesn't answer my messages, so i thought maybe i can flash a new firmware by myself. The actual firmware is working but it is outdated. (1. August 2018)
But how can i find out which firmware is correct for this phone? How to say if it is exynos or snapdragon?
The phone information
Modellnummer: SM-930F
Seriennummer: 5AF94C0C
Buildnummer: R16NW.G930FFXXU7CRH2
Kernel: 3.18.71-14274519 [email protected] #1
Basisband: G930FFXXU7CRH2
Android 8.0.0
Samsung Experience: 9.0
I would like to flash the latest firmware and i want to use the phone in germany. Can somebody identify the correct firmware?
Thanks a lot
What does the phone say in download mode? The ROM can be modified to lie about the model and firmware, but download mode will tell you the truth.
If download mode says it's a G930F then it's Exynos, if it says G930U/V/T/A then it's Snapdragon.
If it is a G930F then good news is you can just flash whatever G930F firmware you want over top what's on it. If it's Snapdragon then you're a bit stuffed, you can't flash Exynos firmware onto Snapdragon.
For updating it if it is G930F my recommendation would be to find out the region code for your device, e.g. from here https://updato.com/firmware-archive...act=1&r=DBT,XEG,DCO,DDE,VIA,DTM,VD2&v=&rpp=15 then download the firmware using that region code with SamFirm tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Download Mode says SM-G930V
I'm doomed
Yep that's a common scam. If you can't return to seller the next best thing would be to flash the G930U firmware, which is the generic unlocked firmware for Snapdragon.
It won't give you the equivalent experience, but it will remove any bloat and give you a carrier unlocked phone experience.
You can use the same methods I mentioned to get your hands on the latest G930U firmware and update the device, but you may need this specific Odin version to flash G930U over G930V https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572
Thanks. Does TMK, TFN, TMB,... make a difference when the phone is used in germany?
Should i flash all 5 files:?:
AP
BL
CP
CSC
Home
I tried and my result is: Flashing only AP was not enough. Flashing all 5 worked fine for me. I chose TMK and even LTE is working. Thanks a lot.
Glad its working, for reference CSC and Home_CSC are both CSC files and you usually pick just one. Home_CSC doesn't do a data wipe, CSC does.
But when changing from G930V to G930U it's always safest to do the CSC wipe.
My At&T s7 currently has this baseband g930aucubctb1. I previously had a s7 edge and was able to flash phone with a g935u baseband. It unbranded phone, it enabled wifi calling, caller id that is native to t mobile, I think so anyway. can I do that with my current s7?

Use Sam Firm Tool attached .
unzip and run application as admin
Model - SM-G930U
Region - XAA
Hit check update then download.
SamFirm Tool pulls firmware straight from Samsung servers much faster than free downloads.
It will decrypt once downloaded and your left with a zip file.
Unzip and place the 4 files in Odin to flash the G930U firmware. Code XAA is unbranded USA.
Use CSC for a new phone completely wiped or CSC_HOME to keep your files and settings.

It looks like you are trying to downgrade your firmware from TB1 to TA3 in the unbranded. You can't go down, only up. I think you need a G930UUESBCTB1 or newer in order to be successful in Odin.
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I used samfirm and 930u only has the firmware G930UUESBCTA3 my current firmware 930aucubctb1.
So I assume that my current firmware is a newer build than the 930u.
So without a later version of the u software and I don't think I can downgrade my current 930a.
I am out of luck until the u gets an upgraded firmware version,
Am I missing something?
