[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.
P.S. All credits goes to jrkruze. :good:
You mentioned to install Nougat beta first before installing t mobile firmware. Is that necessary? Also, any link for Verizon apn?

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?

Beta 2 Verizon Nougat
Unable to select network
Under "Network Operators" I selected Verizon Wireless, waited 5 minutes, and now got Unable to select network. Then, maybe a minute or so later, it says "Unable to connect. Try again later." Is there a way around this?

I noticed this too, thought I was going crazy lol. That was the only think keeping me from rooting, and considering how horrible root is on this phone, I'm going to Verizon tomorrow to get a Pixel.

You have to update your device manually. AT&T does not provide update, when you use another carrier sim.
Here is the AQF7 Firmware. I found it somewhere here in XDA. Download and update via ODIN. If you don`t want to lose your data, then put Home_CSC file in CSC tab.

Hello,
Many thanks for your help! I have updated the firmware successfully, I am glad I haven't lost my data I have put Home_CSC file in CSC tab. I have now AQF7 firmware. However, the navigation bar wasn't updated, how can I get the update for navigation bar?
Thanks,

Not sure. What you mean by Nav bar was not updated. Above AQF7, I guess you`re pretty limited to change the nav bar color and all. If you are talking about that update then, You have to update to AQG5 or AQG1. Same process by ODIN.
https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0BxSORq_9mu52MFJkQ3VFTWNUZ2c&export=download
But not sure, This one has Nav bar updated.
Thank you for your reply!
I mean I cannot hide the navigation bar and I afraid from screen burn-in problem happen to my phone! Do you know if this version has Home_CSC file? The reason I am asking I do not want to lose my data after the upgrade. Is this version official AT&T like the one you provided me before?
Best Regards,
I don't think AT&T has rolled out the update with the navbar changes yet. You can flash the Xaa firmware on your AT&T and get the navbar changes and get update directly from samsung. Here a link if that interest you https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s8+/how-to/unlocked-version-firmware-galaxy-s8-t3607592

Could I be able to maintain my data using home_csc? I do not want to erase all data.
Thanks,
You can but, you could have issues. Try backing everything first with Smart Switch and Samsung cloud. Just in case you run into any problems.

I have successfully updated it to "Firmware From Unlocked US Cellular No Bloatware - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7r...ew?usp=sharing" However, I am not able to receive updates yet, when I check for software update I see "Software is-up-to-date" Any explanations?
G930U phone. Nov 1 Android update from Samsung, installed as normal. After reboot got the typical hung phone problem with switching SIMs. So rebooted in menu mode and normal boot, no resets, which fixes that first issue. But now no data connection on Verizon network with Total Wireless. TW tech support is useless. Anyone else?
Could be that the update broke your CSC somehow, which is where all the carrier network settings come from.
Try going to updato.com, finding the right firmware for your phone, and flashing just home_csc via Odin, there is a flash guide on the site. If TW has their own firmware variant, use their CSC.

Thanks for the response. Always appreciate the input. I should have mentioned I'm on pure stock, not rooted, so re-install firmware would be a biggy for me.
Turns out after over an hour on chat and phone with TW and Samsung the fix was to do turn off mobile data, "Reset Network Settings", then "Search Networks", reboot and turn on mobile data. LTE popped up on the status bar and there's joy again.
Hope I remember this after the next update from Sammy.
No worries glad it's sorted.
For future reference in case you run into a pickle, flashing via Odin doesn't require root or trip Knox, and won't break warranty. It can be used for 100% stock flashing in the event you have issues, or want to upgrade/downgrade.
Flashing home_csv specifically also doesn't wipe your phone.

That's very good to know. I've done no flashing of roms but what you just described could turn me into a "flasher", uh, so to speak...
Thanks.
Update: Not fixed. Now I can either use calling or data, not both. Samsung said the update reverts APNs back to default. Apparently that removed the Total Wireless APN, but there's no way to manually enter or edit their APN. Auto select network doesn't solve it. Still looking for an answer.
Folks,
Happy 2018,
Quick one:
I bought a locked ATT SM-G955U & reflashed it to a SM-G955U1 (currently on the latest December Security update) but the issue here is that despite doing this and eliminating ATT bloatware my phone continues to show Service Provider SW Ver. 9889544437594c3958 XAA//ATT
My buddy have an unlocked SM-G955U1 out of the box & there is no Service Provider information on his phone settings. He also gets all updates via OTA without issues, whereas I need to flash using ODIN manually which is not an issue for me but will be easier to get the OTA updates.
My phone is almost perfect but is there any possibility of flashing the specific CSC file for the SM-G955U1 on my SM-G955U transformed to a SM-G955U1?
I guess this was explained clearly.
Thanks for your support. XDA is the best.
SW, if listed as xaa/xaa/att...is what you wanted. The last three are always hardwired. I bought a T-Mobile U1 and switched it to Verizon. So mine now says vzw/vzw/tmo. If I read correctly in previous postings, you may still be forced to update manually, if on ATT. I believe...
If you flashed the files correctly in ODIN, then you wont see the provider version at all. It doesn't appear in the unlocked firmware. And you'll also get OTAs just fine. I know, because I bought a VZW 955U and flashed it with the unlocked 955U1 software.
Yup I can confirm too. I flashed the unlocked firmware to my spring g955u.
I can get OTA updates same with unlocked phone
Precisely .. I need to flash the correct one...
Where do I get the unlocked firmware ?

Did you use regular ODIN or the modded Odin?
Where do you get the unlocked firmware from?
I got it from sammobile & the SW version persists

Hey, first post so sorry if I say anything off lol.
I have a G996U purchased from Verizon that I flashed to U1 firmware like 2 years ago when I first got it, and have had no issues since. I had a OTA software update the other night that seems to have triggered a carrier lock in my phone. The phone works fine for 5 minutes, then I get a popup telling me the phone is locked and to contact Verizon, despite the phone being from Verizon and running a Verizon sim. I went to them and unfortunately nothing they did could resolve it (new SIM, eSIM, etc), so they shipped me a new phone via insurance. I'm wondering though if I could save myself the hassle of transferring everything and do an in-place flash on the phone to see if that clears up the issue. I am already on the newest firmware (G996U1UEU5EWB1), so I can't upgrade, but I was wondering if I'd be able to flash the same firmware already on the phone while keeping all my data. Thanks.
Yes, just flash with home_csc.

Thank you, just also want to ask bc I'm actually not sure which software to go for. I thought I had flashed XAA long ago, and I'm definitely on U1 firmware, but when I check "Service provider software version" in settings, it says VZW rather than XAA. Is it safe to download XAA firmware for a reflash or should I just do VZW to be safe?
You can flash any csc firmware.
