You're on latest update, as you can check here http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=bln-l21c185b140&firmware_page=0 without a model debranding, at the moment you cannot receive other updates.

So I wont be getting emui 5 or 6 for that matter?

Exactly, not for now at least without a device rebranding. Oh yes, EMUI 6 will be on Oreo, and we still don't know for sure if our device will finally get it or not.

Ok sorry my bad, i put the B140 at the end and obviously MT site found only matching build firmwares.

You could try to force the update by going on system update -> clicking on the 3 dots on upper right corner -> choose 1st option, "download latest update". If nothing is found, you could flash latest update by dload method.

Flash these files via dload. it should update you to the BLN-L21C185B361 version.

Good luck

You sure its safe right? Because I've seen a lot of posts about manual updating where people are facing missing themes/fm radio/updater app and lots of bugs...
And will this void my warranty?

This happens the most when wrong firmwares for your build number are downloaded, but with the 3 packages that shashank linked to you yes, you are safe. They're official packages that matches your build

Thanks. Will flashing these void my warranty.
And if you don't mind, could you give me instructions on how to flash via dload...

These are absolutely stock version and no warranty loss.
For dload, check my signature below for dload guide. It is quick steps for all requirements and you can flash files easily.

Call customer care or chat with their online support they will ask for IMEI and few other things and updated will be there within 48 hours they have that hi care app where u can get online support or from there website or twitter or simply by calling customer care number

Thanks

Hey guys, sorry for the necrobump. I successfully flashed update.zip using dload (had to move it to internal storage to flash successfully).
But whenever I try to flash the 2nd file "update_full_BLN-L21_hw_meafnaf.zip" it goes upto 5% and fails. Also while booting it says "Your device has failed verification and may not work properly". On top of that, I lost file manager and update option in the settings (probably because the 2nd file did not flash). And for some reason, my build no. is "NRD90M test-keys" now...
Please help.
FYI, I'm still not rooted nor unlocked Bootloader.

I had the same problem: recovery stuck at 5 % until timed-out. Please make sure that your device is not connected to your computer via USB and then reboot into recovery mode. I unplugged the cable from both devices to be very sure.

Official sm-g930t TWRP missing?

Hello all,
My goal is to image my phone with TWRP(which I have used when I had a rooted EVO2,) I am not after root. My goal is to test different NON-ROOT backup programs and restore if something is missing. So I have to ask the experts here, I see NO official TWRP rom for sm-g930t, whats the deal?
Here is what I find at TWRP website for Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) (herolte)

}

The alternative is the Chinese variant. Also why does it say herolte in the first place? This is not to be confused with the hero phone?
This concerns me as I find guides to install TWRP for the sm-g930t from places like androidinfotech.com/2017/03/root-samsung-galaxy-s7-t-mobile-sm-g930t-nougat.html and Youtube.com using ENG-Root-USA.zip as the TWRP rom.
Thanks in advance for any help,
XDAGuy

G930T is Snapdragon SoC which has a locked bootloader, you aren't getting TWRP onto it, it's not possible.
herolte is the codename for the Exynos SoC S7's, which is the SoC you need for TWRP.

Thanks @Beanvee7. So am I able to image my emmc partitions with adb for my cloning purposes atleast? Can they ever be returned? And finally you are saying if I have G930T, I cannot install TWRP on it period (even with Odin)---then what are some tutorials and success for... trololol? And is this lock thx to T-Mobile?
Thanks,
XDAGuy

emmc partitions I believe fall under boot partitions, which are locked by the bootloader.
Yes I am saying the G930T cannot install TWRP on it period even with Odin.
Odin can only flash what the device permits, and a locked device won't permit boot modifications.
If you can find me a tutorial where they successfully flashed TWRP onto a G930T I'd like to see it.
The lock applies to all USA models, it's not specifically T-Mobile. It was likely AT&T and/or Verizon that forced the requirement onto Samsung.
Smaller carriers would be prevented from allowing an unlock method, because it could then be used on AT&T and Verizon models since they have the same SoC.

I linked one in the first thread(without the protocol +www for anyones imagination,) they limit new posters on links. I also found one on you tube with people saying in comments worked on G930T, however cant find it since I cant search comments and its annoying.
androidinfotech.com/2017/03/root-samsung-galaxy-s7-t-mobile-sm-g930t-nougat.html
or
fastunlocker.in/root-samsung-s7-sm-g930t.html
Finally, whats this @ 1:49 youtube.com/watch?v=3yJY9RSpV0c, for custom OS? Cant change boot but can OS?

Those guides are both nonsense tbh, first one is full of errors without any photo or video, second one under the TWRP says 'we can't provide the files, find them yourself', so where's TWRP?
The video they show is also for a different model.
As for your youtube video, that's just standard recovery and download mode. All Samsung phones display the same warning, even models that can't actually flash custom firmware.
TWRP looks like this
Standard recovery looks like this
After some more digging, there is this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7/development
https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/development
You still don't get full custom ROM's, but you can run some modded zips.

You da man, very much appreciated for your time. I checked out the piece by Kevin, looks like he spent alot of time on it. Thanks for helping, but again, I was just looking to get TWRP installed so I could image my phone and test non-root backup solutions. I do not want ROOT atm. From what I am gathering I cannot change the boot parition to put TWRP, correct? And via ADB I cannot image my phone? And if I could image my phone, I couldnt restore the images to my phone, correct?
Thanks again,

Question IMEI & Baseband are gone in latest firmware version

I rooted my Samsung device previously, but has since done a clean flash and locked the bootloader so it's back to how it originally was. But now, if I update my phone, the IMEI & baseband are gone. I discovered that clean flashing the firmware A125FXXU1BUG1 seems to fix the issue for me.
So my question is, is it possible to update my phone without loosing my IMEI and baseband? And is this an issue caused by Samsung or me rooting my phone?

The same thing for me, I rooted, then go back to stock like you did but can't update to the latest version A125FXXU1BUI3. I'm currently on version A125FXXU1BUF9.
Edit.
I tried multiple times and couldn't upgrade. I updated it from the first available firmware Android 10 to the latest Android 11 in my region (A125FXXU1BUI3 XTC) with no luck. I tried every existing firmware on my device without success in updating to the current version, and I'm still stuck on version A125FXXU1BUF9. A125FXXU1BUI3 is only 710 MB in size, but no dice. I believe we are to blame for rooting our phones.
No luck means invalid IMEI and invalid baseband.

The issue isn't because you rooted your phones. Since the update A125FXXU1BUG6 I have also experienced IMEI and Baseband errors and I've never rooted my phone. I think the updates have a bug in them or something. Same goes with the latest A125FXXU1BUI3 update. I thought the latest one would fix it but it didn't. Waiting to see if the November security update will fix it

These are fimware issues made by samsung, they are not happending because you rooted your phone or triped knox or other... It's a ordinary fimware bug I thought they would fix in BUI3 which relased after BUG6(where the issue started happending) I thought then someone would allready report that, I don't actualy know if samsung knows this is happending or they just don't care to fix it.
And it's like as if anything over BUF9 is good... it really isn't. Some people say thay get bootloops and other weired issues on GSIs with fimware over BUF9 version. I haven't tested that my self yet, so I'm going of others people words. I dindn't test it because when I first saw the IMEI issues I didn't care to test.
Anyway, going to send a modem.tar file which could fix the issues, haven't tested....

I've flashed the new A125FXXU1BUJ4 November security update and the bug is still there but I was able to flash this IMEI/Baseband repair file and it fixed it. I actually reported to samsung but their response was to visit a help center. I guess they don't know it a bug in their firmware. Just flash the file using Odin and add it in CP.
The fix was posted on this forum:

not a driver problem its a failed verification on the stock patched.img through magisk diferent verifiction key for the two images

OK

So did you ever get it figured out? I have the moto g pure as well. I have it bootloader unlocked but have been unable to find a boot.img to try to use Magisk on. The stock file I tried to get from the Motorola tool keeps giving me an error saying the file failed to decompress....

Untouched Poco F2 Pro (SJKEUXM) Unknown baseband after latest update (13.0.8.0 SJKEUXM)

Hello,
I dunno if this thread is still active but I have the EU variant Poco F2 Pro and this has been untouched since 2020(no I regret not unlocking the bootloader). And just last week, (I think) after receiving the latest patch update, I suddenly lost my baseband. Hence I now have no signal. I have raken my ohone to a technician for consultation and checkup and he was the one who noticed the "unknown baseband", Suffice to say my IMEI is also gone. He told me that rhe only way to solve this is to reflash OS. Unfortunately, my bootloader is still locked because I said this is still untouched (I regret it now).
So I did some research and came across this DFT Pro Tool for mobile maintenance which works on multiple brands and claims it can fix the IMEI/baseband issue even with bootloader locked. PROBLEM IS, you have to buy it for $70 and for something you'll gonna be using just once, that is a huge sum.
Now I have sent Fredback to Poco about this and requested for a rollback update (idk if they reply to such cases) just to see if the current update is the issue. I have also tried redownloading and reflashing the full latest firmware via the update menu but it did not solve anything.
The last thing on my mind is to reflash an older version (maybe 13.0.5.0, 4.0, or 3.0) via recovery but I know xiaomi and Poco implemented an anti rollback feature (which I now think is kinda selfish and stupid of them).
I also have this crazy idea of extracting the baseband zip from a previous version of the rom, renaming it 'update.zip" and flashing but I doubt that it's as simple as that.
Anyone encountered a similar issue?

V13.0.8.0.SJKEUXM is a stable beta, and yes Xiaomi is updating with Beta versions on the stable channel and this is nothing new, many like you have found themselves with bricked phones.
At first tried with https://www.xiaomitool.com/V2/ if no result reposted.

Will it work even with locked bootloader? Thanks for the reply anyway.

Yes you are right. This method is not guaranteed. I tried to trick the tool into thinking my Poco F2 Pro was bricked. I got as far as to the firmware selwction for my device (there was IMI and IMI-new) but I thinkini represents redmi k30 pro because when i tried to proceed it was searching for china rom (when in fact I have F2 eu variant). Idk what imi new is. Maybe that is my device/global and eu f2. But when i tried to proceed i get this error i was lucky to cime uo upon doing google search.

Try with the same rom or update.
This tool is able to detect the rom.
