I have the sm-g970n variant
Which has skmobile integrated on it
Can i flash the sm-g970f on odin to get rid of the boot animation and korean bloatwares?
I'm not sure you can do so but here are all the firmware for your variant: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s10e/specs/SM-G970N/#firmware-model-list see at the bottom of the page
The "Korea" one should be the best option.

Hello folks,
I just got another S7 (I sold mine at a great price, got another one and kept the change )
What I need to know is: my new model iaccording to Samsung phone info app is SM-G930F heroltexx, original CSC is blank, firmware and active CSC are both CRO, available CSC are CRO and DHR, CSC Country is Croatia / HR.
Phone has annoying T-mobile boot animations that I'd like to get rid of, and also flash Nougat via Odin. What should I pay attention to? Is any G930F firmware fine, or I have to look for specific one? Any chance flashing will remove T-mobile branding on boot and shut-down?
Phone itself is simfree, knox 0x0
Many thanks!
This subsection is for T-Mobile US (G930T), you should ask in the general S7 forums.
I'm a beginner trying to upgrade/flash a S7 from China to have access to Google apps, but with no success so far (Secure check fail: Boot). In Odin mode "Product Name SM-G930F" is shown, but in Settings->About device->Model number = SM-G9300. How can I determine which ROM to use?
Boot the phone into download mode (Volume Down & Home & Power)
Whatever model is shown there is the correct model, firmware has likely been faked to sell the phone as the G930F - very common

Thanks for the information. Then I can assume that it is a G930F which is shown as Product Name in Odin/Download mode and that it has been flashed with a G9300 firmware. It would then be safe to flash it with a G930F ROM.

If it says G930F in Download Mode then yep you need to flash a G930F ROM, not sure why anyone would flash a G9300 ROM to a G930F S7 though, it's usually always the other way around

Sorry, my mistake. It actually says "G930V" in Download Mode, but on the back cover of the phone it says "G930U" (fake phone?). It was loaded with G9300 firmware which would make sense for the Chinese market. I've flashed it with a Verizon stock ROM and it seems to work. Just wondering if there is any "cleaner" firmware (G930U?) with less bloatware and the possibility to change the language completely and to get rid of the "Sim card not from Verizon" notification? Without rooting...

Not a fake phone, just modded to look like a different model, you can flash the G930U firmware to the G930V iirc
Yea looks like it's been faked to look different, common with the G930V's.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/search/g930u/ those G930U firmwares should work, basically any snapdragon firmware would work on any snapdragon S7 I thought.
Another resource is updato.
I recently bought a new SM-G930F and it shipped with the Marshmallow firmware. I would like to update to Nougat via OTA but there are no OTA update settings anywhere in the settings menu.
Does anyone know what's wrong, and if so what I can do?
(Some extra information: It was bought manufacturer refurbished and appears to be a Verizon branded S7 that has had all of the Verizon bloatware / boot logo / settings stripped from the device. It is also a Snapdragon variant.)

You'll need to flash the correct firmware for it if you want Nougat
If it is a Verizon, G930V firmware is needed, you cannot flash G930F, that's just something they do to fake models to sell Snapdragon phones as Exynos
Double check in Download mode (Volume Down & Home & Power) for the correct model number
You can flash the G930U firmware on the V model, which is the unbranded version of the firmware (Not containing any carrier bloat)

Hello i am new here i have some questions plz.clear my mind issue is i have galaxy s7 g930p when i dial*#1234# it shows AP, CP G930P AND CSC G930F what is this??? I want to update oreo which firmware should i use i am in pakistan and already use os marshmallow
Boot into download mode (Power + Home + Vol Down) and check what model number it says you have there.
Then download the firmware specifically for that model and nothing else.
Thanks for reply... in download mode its shows g930p and also in settings same model name and also back on phone side same but in recovery mode shows g930v
Here is some detail...
In the Downloads mode SM-G930P is displayed,
in the Phone Info also SM-G930P,
in the manufacturer "Samsung / Verizon",
product code "Not Active",
Original CSC code is empty,
CSC firmware code VZW,
active VZW firmware code,
available CSC codes are empty,
SCS country USA / HK,
Bootloader version G930PVPU4APL6,
PDA version G930PXXU1BPIA,
version CSC G930FXXU1BPIA,
radio module version G930PVPU4APL6.
Which model firmware should i download
Download mode is the only value that can't be changed by modifying the firmware, so it's your true model.
The G930P is the US Sprint S7 model running Snapdragon, so you can use any Snapdragon firmware with Odin (G930U/V/T/P) but don't attempt to flash anything Exynos as it will brick your phone (G930F/FD/W8/K)
G930U is the carrier unlocked generic firmware, so the best one to use if you don't want bloat etc.
Thank u so much can i now install latest update of g930u? in odin fill all boxes with g930u files also csc g930fxxu1bpia with g930u file?
Thank you so much sm-g930u firmware with oreo now working in my sm-g930p no any issue here thanks
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.
