My girlfriend bought a S7 off craigslist which she was told was for T-Mobile.
It kinda works but is very slow and she gets these random popups with half naked chicks, and you cannot close them until you click on them it takes you to a webpage that never works and then you can back out of it.
I ran virus software and factory reset multiple times. the virus software will keep the pop ups at bay for about half a day.
As a last resort I am going to reflash back to stock with Odin.
In my search to find the stock firmware looks like the software on it is European or something.
Should I try to flash the USA firmware? What version should i flash?
That's NOT the T-Mobile version, that's the international version. T-Mobile's is the 930T, not F.
Keep in mind that that model will not get wifi calling or VoLTE on T-Mobile, nor access their extended range band (LTE band 12) for voice calling, which could potentially be pretty bad depending on your location. You also have no warranty whatsoever in the US.
Your about device should look like this. Also download "Genuine Galaxy-Phone Info" from the play store. It looks like you got a clone.
Thanks for the replies.
First things first i want to fix the virus issue. Should i just flash back the firmware version it has?

A clone has different hardware, flashing something from Sammobile which is believed to be the correct version could hard brick your device. Flash anything at your own risk.

How do i know its a clone with that app? It says its a Galaxy SM-G930F
Well dude, sorry about your luck. That is definitely a clone aka fake galaxy S7. A real galaxy 7 has 4 gb of ram, not 500mb and definitely not a 32bit Mediatek processor which is why is so slow. Also your device has a modified version of lollipop android, a real one come with marshmallow out the box.
-edit-
The "F" model should have a Xynos 8890 Processor in it, not a Qualcomm like mine.
I even went a step further you you . Here is the firmware page!!! Good luck, your on your own from here.

Thanks all for the help. I'll figure it out from here.
Wow that sucks. How much you pay
How to know please if my phone is new or not? Knowing that the box was opened and unsealed when I received it?
I installed the application "Phone INFO" but apparently since Android 6.0 it is only possible to know this "counter informations" (Number of times of the USB cable and headphones have been connected) by rooting the device before.
But my Snapdragon-based model is not yet rootable, so it's not possible to get this counter informations via the "Phone INFO" application.
So, how to get this informations otherwise? Or what other application can give me this please?

Not sure, but why did you accepted unsealed box?

Exactly you shouldn't had accepted it.
Take it back to store and get replacement.
You can give a try by calling Samsung and giving them the IMEI number and could figure out if has being activated or not.

I live in France, and I ordered it on Internet at a Ebay UK shop apparently known and serious, which themselves received the product from HK.
Following my question, they sent me this answer:
"All items are brand new, original and unlocked.
Some of the items may not be sealed in Asian market.
The item will be undergone quality assurance process, original box and
Seal may be used as a warranty.
But the answer does not reassure me, and I want to check if the product is really new?
How to contact Samsung please?
Is there any other way to know if the phone has never been used?

It's best to return it, I'm from Asia and i never bought unsealed phone, I've even been to HK and even bought Moto Milestone few years ago and i got it sealed, i even bought an iPhone 5S from Singapore once, i got it sealed pack and i live in India, even in India i always got sealed phone
Sometimes it can't be sealed because some phones are region locked and need to be opened to place a 5 min Phone call to unlock the region lock
Use the app "charge cycle counter" to read how many times the battery has went through a full cycle. It will read the info from a text file on the device that will survive any reset to the device.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.cerebrum.ChargeCycleCounter
I know the screenshot says it only counts since the app was installed, but that's not the case with Samsung phones as the battery stores the info
Thank you all.
The app "charge cycle counter" is not reliable.
It would be a shame to return the phone if it is really new. I want be sure...
Other solutions please?
Shuthefrontdoor is correct, they are opened to remove the region lock then repackaged. You could also check the tires for wear to see if it was driven around...

The SM-G9550 model (HK) already factory unlocked. Why to open the box then ?
What is "Shuthefrontdoor" and "the tires for wear"? I did not understand...
Shuthefront door is the name of the member that replied to the thread, it also could be customs that opens the packages and the check the tires is humor.

Since the latest firmware of Samsung, it needs root to read the Usage Counters, as well as the Original CSC.
It is due to the fact that Samsung has strengthened its security policy. It is NOT the app's mistake.
If you have root, you still can see those info.

Thank you.
The question now is how to root the SM-G9550...
why dont you just check if the phone has anything scratches
If your phone is working and does not have any kind of lock and if there is no way to return i would suggest to just forget everything and use it like a new phone
Such sad news, I literally got my device today!
The problem for me is that even though I could unlock my device now, the pull of users and developers to this device is going to plummet to zero on xda , there won't be any (or very few) ROM's, adopters will avoid the device... It's a horrible move from huawei who have a sponsor partnership with xda?? Xda have said they're going to fight it but my guess is huawei may look at their wallet rather than their hearts and stick to their guns.
By all accounts it's "to provide a better service". ???
I have a cooling off period for another 13 days.
If things don't change in a week I'm sending this wonderful opportunity phone back.
Never again

Edit: all that being said, I like this phone too much, even runs ppsspp and dolphin the same as the onelus 5 did, I've unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp and rooted and now it's running perfectly.
Going to give it a chance.

In the same boat mate, received the phone on Wednesday, got the bootloader unlock code sitting in my email index waiting to be used....and now I see this.
In two minds about the whole thing, on one hand love the phone it seems pretty damn great to me, only want to root for 2 issues (not fault of phone, just personal preference) but on the other hand, lack of ability to unlock bootloader will kill the community here. Do I keep it, unlock and just roll with it, or do I send it back and get something else (Galaxy Note or S9+ probably, community there aint dead lol)?
Have to have a good think about it over the weekend I think.

Avoid the galaxy unless you like baggage and more rules, if I was to buy another phone it would be the HTC 12, no doubt about it.
Personally I've used the unlock code twrp installed and I'm rooted.
Phones a beast, I personally think Huawei will decide against their decision, by all accounts HTC did the same and look what happened to them
Currently looking at debranding from the L09 to the L29 as updates are more timely. Either that or wait for some ROMs to drop.
I'm keeping it now, it's swayed me.
Although I'd I could get the HTC I'd do it in a heartbeat, epic development on XDA.

Since the phone is treble enabled we can use GSI. So theres no "real" need to have an active development community dedicated for this phone only.

You don't necessarily need to convert from L09 to L29 to get faster updates, you just need to change region from 782 to 432. The L09 & L29 firmwares are interchangeable and are released together but it's UK specific updates that are lagging behind.
Saying that, I don't think there's a way to convert to 432 without being converted to L29 in the process anyway lol

Would like to get unlock code, to be on safe side if I some day (probably sooner than later) want to use it.

Keep hold of the bootloader unlock code you got as if they go ahead with removing the service, they're likely to release updates in the future that will relock unlocked bootloaders on install. You should be able to re-unlock with the same code but it's a pain as an update won't wipe data but then having to re-unlock will ?

There's another site that does them.
Can't recall the name.
Just ordered the P20 Pro today after I upgraded my partners one yesterday to the P20. Its looks a fantastic phone so I had to go one better and get the pro. I got the unlock code for hers and will request mine tomorrow. Is there any need to use the unlock code? I don't plan on hoping for a better ROM as the stock one looks pretty reasonable to me.

It is but rooting etc has its benefits, you've only got to go on a few threads here to see that.
Plus who knows what the future holds plus treble is always an option
I'm in China, and am getting a 7 Pro, but they don't have the global firmware for sale.
Is it possible to flash the Chinese phone with the global firmware?
If so, how?
Out of curiosity, isn't that illegal as a Chinese citizen?

If nothing changes from previous generations:
Download OOS, full ROM, not OTA file
Put the zip file in internal storage (/sdcard aka. /storage/emulated/0)
Settings - System - System updates - Gear icon on top right corner - Local upgrade
Factory reset if GApps FC
They made it so H2OS and OOS can be easily converted, so it doesn't make sense if they changed the policy.

That's correct, no need to unlock bl or anything.
I'm not sure how their warranty works overseas (but I assume no cover). If you have enough time in China, you can try to flash it and, if anything goes wrong, mail the device back so they can get it fixed, should be with no charge.
The availability is more a problem, I've heard something like, you need a voucher code in order to purchase (sometimes there's no inventory even with the code), or you need to wait for a certain time period. The CEO says they've started sending some inventory for foreign countries back to mainland China, so things could get better over time.
BTW they didn't seem to expect the 12G variant to be this popular (in fact I was talking to my friend during the announcement, saying 8G is more than enough, who needs 12G; then in the end I was like, screw it, I'll buy the 12G )

I contacted support and they said:
(1) I would need to send the phone to the service center to change the OS
(2) Warranty is only valid in the region of purchase.a
Not sure if the OS change is really impossible to be done by the user alone, but the warranty thing sounds like a firm no.

Hey everyone
I just heard about Huawei been a bit more relaxed about rooting their Mate 30 Pro.
At First I was like that is AWESOME, the idea of been able to use the Mate 30 Pro with pixel experience (my favourite custom Rom) sounds amazing.... best Pixel stock experience on a beast like Mate 30 would be epic.
Then I found a strange taste in my mouth. There would still be some draw backs. Thought I would list some concerns and people could answer some of those concerns.
(Note....each concern/question has a solution or comment I think about the issue.....this is just my view and not to be taken as the only view)
1. Lack of full potential from cameras on the back?
I know some custom ROM camera apps are pretty good l, but to really experience the best from the camera's you would have to have some access to l the Mate 30 Pro stock camera app package to allow.
A thought I had is that Huawei could make a APK that's a bit like Goodlock and this app would allow you to download the stock camera app and other stock apps that people may use on their Huawei devices.
2. LTE and 5G??
I can remember using my Samsung S7E with Pixel Experience but one of the draw backs was that I could get 4G but I didn't get the extra features like LTE, wifi calling, HD call quality ect. If this remained the case then this would be a major draw back to a 2019 flagship device.
Maybe Huawei could needed coding and solutions directly to custom Rom developers....or allow then to be a open source so every ROM devloper had access these features.
3. General Custom ROM glitches and bugs
We are all used to our ROMs having strange behaviours every now and ad gain but do we want these bugs on our £800+ smartphone that we use eveqersryday.
This solution seems obvious Huawei need to work closely with custom Rom developers and helping them Iron these issues out.
4. Some apps dont work on custom Roms no matter what.
Back to my S7e I was able to almost all of the apps on my phone thanks to magisk manager but some apps still had issues. My samsung gear app would pair with my gearfit 2 no matter what. It downloaded but it would not find any devices. I found a fix but that caused my Google to stop working, so had to put it back. This happened with other apps as well.
The only solution I can think of is app developers would have to made aware that mate 30 users could be using rooted devices with Huawei's blessing and ensure there apps work on rooted versions of the phone.
5. Is Warranty still safe.
If Huawei are actually cool with us rooting our P30 Pro then they need to put their money where their mouth is and allow this activity with their manufactures warranty, private insurance companies need to follow suit as well.
Huawei could give us manufactures warranty but with the condition that if possible we have to flash the stock firmware of the device before sending it out.
That's it....that's just s few of my thoughts and possible solutions and would love to hear what you guys think and if you have any worries or questions of your own? Maybe if we make enough noise Huawei will notice us and take our ideas and answer our questions themselves.
(Make it easier....put which number comment your answering to so we all have a better idea what's going on)
Keep it friendly guys remember these are mine and others thoughts.... none of us are implying that these thoughts are right.
By the way... I am a Note 9 user but I am really excited of the potential of Huawei been the ultimate custom ROM brand.
Official Pixel Experience is pretty much nill on Huawei Devices. I see the Honor 10 has
again been dropped.
When the Ban is lifted Huawei will lock the bootloader again no doubt.
they have changed their mind, they will not unlock the BL for the Mate 30.
the only place this device will sell well is China, they are screwed pretty much everywhere else.
I just bought one in shanghai yesterday. Its a very neat and fast phone. especially the 40w charging is cool. you can watch percentages go up...
I asked for the 5G version but i was told its not availbale and should come November. I was wondering though if its already built in and just needs a software patch... like back then when Nvidia was reducing performace on Graphic cards by disabling shaders by firmware...

You could find out the specs from their website and check if the LTE bands covers T-Mobiles. It works on Bell's network though.

I am in TX, I got Mate 30 Pro from China, and it works with T-mobile showing "4G" icon. The speed test result is like to my old iPhone 6.
By the way, I have 2 sim card, one is China Union (works on AT&T's network) which support VoLTE, the other is T-Mobile which does not.

Thank you I think I'm convinced
I was trying to find a thread about the bootloader being unlocked on this phone and couldn't find one. I came across this video on YouTube where this guy turns on his phone and says his phone unlocked. He doesn't say how he did it but I'm thinking someone might want to contact him and ask him how he did it. About 2 minutes in he shows this

Most likely a review unit like others have had, release software dosnt have OEM unlock option in developers, if something comes of the int. Version we may be able to get rebranding but has yet to be seen
He commented about it being a devkit under the comment by Markus Haier here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5pxYxPSbl_s and said he was going to make a video on it but still nothing.
@o012 Well my P30-Pro (VOG-L09) has OEM unlocking under developer options but haven't tried unlocking.
All works in canada except certain banking apps google backup netflix google pay androis assistant needs to be rebooted everytime. Rest all works fine including google photo backup
Has anyone installed a custom ROM and TWRP to it yet.
Could a Gapps package help the issues? Gapps include all the google services and system setting to keep google stable and updating.
Think Gapps could be installed via the phones built in bootloader??.
