Firmware for SM-G930F

Hi,
I do have an unlocked version of Samsung Galaxy S7; model SM-G930F(international model), which I brought from Jet.com. I am using T-mobile sim prepaid sim on it.
For the past few weeks its showing problem of re-starting and hangs on Samsung boot screen(first screen with Samsung name and galaxy s7 logo) with blue light on top always on. I tried factory reset, but did not work and happens too often these days. There is no fixed way of getting out of it. Sometimes it works by clearing the cache, at times by logging in on safe mode and rebooting, then at times by charging for a while and turning it on etc...
From looking into the forums and discussion, I have the feeling that its related to bootloop or bricked phone. The only thing left to do is install firmware once again with ODIN. But I am confused on which firmware to download. Can anyone help me with which is the best one to install? Below is the phone details.
AP : G930FXXU1BPLB
CP: G930FXXU1BPJJ
CSC: G930FUUB1BPL4
Any help of this is much appreciated.

you should install all of them, in the order it says,

OK. But do you have the link to the firmware that I can use? I am not sure from the above information which firmware would be suited for my version of Galaxy S7. Looking for the downloadable firmware.

Hi mate
You had a Marsmellow firmware you can basically flash any official firmware you want , as long as it belongs to a G930F , pick a country similar or same to where you live
Check here
Get a Nougat firmware they are working fine, follow the intruction in how to flash , pick CSC or home_csc , CSC will factory rest your phone will it leave it like new , if you use home_csc has to be same as the one you have your phone then you will not lose any data

SM - G930F
Thank you!!
I got the file downloaded now. Do I need to select all the AP, BL, CP and CSC on the ODIN software to reset it?

Today morning again the phone got hanged in the bootscreen. So, I decided to run the ODIN3 with all the 4 files selected. I installed the Samsung drviers and followed all the instruction and run the application with all the 4 files selected. The process showed success in the ODIN3 application. But even after that, the phone is stuck on the bootloader Samsung with Galaxy S7 logo.
Any idea what to do next or how to resolve this issue?

Did you factory reset from recovery and flashed firmware again?

Perhaps someone can answer a similar question for me? I have the XEU nougat beta firmware, can I flash the BTU final nougat without needing to factory reset?

OK.... here is the SAD news.. I gave the phone for repair on a local cellphone shop. They did some testing on it and said its related to software. After trying to fix it with installing software and other fix they called me a while back and said `THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT`.
Not sure what to do with it. Bought this unlocked only 6 months back and its already dead....
Never going for another Galaxy for sure.

Yeah, you can do that, but is preferable to do the flash then a factory reset...

G930FD keep restarting itself after nougat

Guys really need help here, I just got a used indonesian g930fd (strangely it shows g930f on phone info) which keep restarting itself after upgrading to nougat (OTA). Also even if I already "power off" the phone, it still restarting (or booting?).
I've tried to factory reset from recovery, still keep restarting. Btw at first factory reset, somehow data partition got corrupted then second one success. Also when my data partition corrupted, the phone doesnt restart/on by itself like I mentioned before, so seems firmware related issue instead of hardware.
I also tried to go to two samsung service center, because first one somehow tell my imei is from singapore and second center tell mine is fro arab (wth) so I can't claim warranty eventho still below 1 year.
My question is:
1. Does reflashing stock (7.0) firmware will fix it?
2. Why phone info show my phone model as SM-G930F instead of G930FD?
3. Is it possible to change Product Code? rite now my product code is definitely Indonesian (SM-G930FZDUXID), originical CSC blank, everything else XID / Indonesia . I kinda have doubt now because two service centers tell different country, also sticker on back cover somehow tell its G930F, and print one on glass cover G930FD
Mind me if these question alrd asked before, but I already tried to search and googled everything and Im still lost here.
here's my firmware information from *#1234#
AP: G930FXXU1DQE7
CP: G930FXXU1DQD7
CSC: G930FOLE1DQCV
Model: SM-G930F/DS

Thanks a lot!

Hi mate
Well mate , F and FD models have the same hardware and and use the same firmware , only difference is the SIM tray , they are different to fit one or or two sim cards depending on the models.
The model number is written in the build.prop ( do not know if somewhere else) if it only written there phoneinfo can be fooled , you can double check it by checking your IMEI at this site or other similar
http://www.imei.info/
It will tell you to what phone that IMEI was issued to. Check also with phoneInfo if the phone is original or refurbish
to your questions:
1. Does reflashing stock (7.0) firmware will fix it?
Is a good chance it will, if there is no hardware issues
2. Why phone info show my phone model as SM-G930F instead of G930FD?
do not know , check by your IMEI to see what the real model is
3. Is it possible to change Product Code? rite now my product code is definitely Indonesian (SM-G930FZDUXID), originical CSC blank, everything else XID / Indonesia . I kinda have doubt now because two service centers tell different country, also sticker on back cover somehow tell its G930F, and print one on glass cover G930FD
You can flash any F firmware with the desire CSC code , just download the firmware and flash it using CSC and not home_csc

Thanks for ur response! It's still original from phone info, now not tho since I already flashed new firmware.
Things that I already did:
1. Flashing two same 7.0 nougat for Indonesian version (updato and sammobile)
2. Tried entering recovery mode while charging to check if battery dead, result can't enter recovery mode means battery should be fine.
3. Checking serial number with Smart Switch somehow tell me it's from Arab. I can't restore tho since it keep restarting.
And restart issue still there. One thing for sure it does heat up everytime. While on odin mode, it never restart tho. I still can't find the problem
Is there chance for any other hardware failure somehow aside battery? Thanks!

Hi
It's still original from phone info, now not tho since I already flashed new firmware.
The original check in phoneinfo is regarding the hardware , it has nothing to do with the firmware also you can flash a different firmware to your phone and would be still original
1. Flashing two same 7.0 nougat for Indonesian version (updato and sammobile)
What files did you flash?
2. Tried entering recovery mode while charging to check if battery dead, result can't enter recovery mode means battery should be fine.
Not sure what you mean ...if you cant enter recovery while charging means battery is fine, that makes no sense, i doubt your issue is battery
3. Checking serial number with Smart Switch somehow tell me it's from Arab. I can't restore tho since it keep restarting.
I said check your IMEI to see to what device was asigned to , to see if it was assigned to a G930F or G930FD
Is there chance for any other hardware failure somehow aside battery?
motherboard...but if before of OTA was working fine i would think more in a firmware issue

Stuck in "odin mode". Help!

Hello. I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930F, but it said the firmware was modified in an unauthorized way. It showed the model as G930FD in the firmware but it's G930F on the back of the phone. I am guessing it was rooted. Then I did a cache wipe and it said the "FRP LOCK" wouldn't let it boot up, and now I am stuck in "odin mode". It says downloading and do not turn off target. The thing is I don't know the phone's country of origin so which firmware should I get? I don't wanna brick my phone. I live in Macedonia and I am downloading the Macedonia firmware at the moment but I don't know what to do next so please help. Thank you.

Just flash firmware for your country, if that doesn't work try flashing twrp and a custom rom. I'm not sure there is a way to tell physically wether it a F or FD maybe sim card trays are different, its pretty difficult to brick phone unless there is a hardware fault. Also have you tried Smart switch to install firmware, I've never used it but it supposed to be a good last resort.

It'll still boot into download mode due to FRP lock.
OT:
Use smart switch to restore your phone. You'll probably need information like IMEI and stuff for this. Do you have the original packaging?

Changing CSC

Hi.
I just bought the Note 20 Ultra from may carrier and First what i wanted to do was DEBRAND. So acknowladge from Note8 i thought that, ill download firmware XEO - for my coutry flash it via ODIN and BANG.... but nope.. it didnt went as i expected, i mean flashing went great but CSC doesnt change. As i read some forums there was solution for Andorid10 but Ive got Android11. So im asking here "is there any solution" to change CSC to XEO ?

yeah the android 10 version method works still. Downgraded my note 20 Ultra 5G with android 11(1. Jan Patch) to Android 10(build No: N986BXXU1ATGI ) must be the Juli patch! Changed the csc with ChangeCSC Tool and after that flashed the newest Android 11 Firmware again via Odin (Build No: N986BXXS1CUA2)
My Device was branded on Vodafone.

I have found if you configure a couple of things first, CSC change still works during firmware flash.
1. enable OEM Unlock (in developer options)
2. disable FIND MY PHONE, & logout of Samsung AND Google accounts
3. Go into downloader mode and flash XEO or BTU FW (use CSC file not CSC_HOME)
4. Boot up device with your SIM Card installed.
5. During setup, phone will reboot and change to the correct CSC to match the firmware flashed.
Be aware thet your data partition wil be wiped so backup everything before you start.
Also, note the prduct CSC will not be changed but SIM1/SIM2/eSIM will be changed as expected.
Finally, you will get the correct OTA upgrades automatically for the flashed FW CSC (BTU in my case)
Good luck.

Question One UI 5 is out. Flashing INU on EUX phone. What about OTA updates ?

Hello, I've been waiting a really long time for One UI 5 and I couldn't wait anymore once I heard the stable is out in India. I downloaded the INU firmware using Frija then I changed my CSC to INU using SamFwRP tool and flashed the INU firmware using patched Odin. Then I reverted back my CSC to EUX again with SamFwRP.
After all of this, finally did a wipe cache and factory reset. Now I'm wondering...since my CSC is back to EUX...will I still receive OTAs ? For example One UI 5.1 OTA or December security patch whenever that releases
EDIT: Weirdest thing is when I flashed INU HOME_CSC on my phone there was no data that was reset. Is it because they're both OXM ?
EDIT2: DISCLAIMER - I'm not an Android dev, I'm not knowledgeable on anything technical or otherwise. Please take advice from anyone else but me!

Thanks for the tip about Frija, I had forgotten all about that one (been checking sammobile and galaxyfirmware daily for weeks now) I'm downloading now and will edit this post with success or failure! (I'm EUY)
As for your question about still receiving OTAs or not, I honestly don't know because I've rooted every phone I've ever had in 17 years! but I can't see why it would be a problem if you didn't receive them as you can always download them from Frija surly not?
Okay download complete, I'm going in.. wish me luck!

Well yeah, you can. But I don't wanna lol. I'm not a ROM hax0r. I'm just a power user. I don't even have a Windows laptop around most of the time and Heimdall looks scary .
Is EUY the same as EUX ? I saw it on the firmware websites...but I never heard about it. Is it for France or something ? Rest of the EU uses EUX as far as I know.
I think EUX, EUY, INU are just the same ****, not sure. They all have OXM Multi CSC and they kinda look identical tbh as far as numbers go. So if you revert your CSC back to EUY...updates should work, no ?

Success!
I just flashed the Magisk patched AP file the CP file and HOME CSC file and all up and running Android 13/One UI 5... (also rooted) thanks bro..
I think if you revert your CSC back to EUY then yes I can't see any reason why you shouldn't receive OTAs

thought it was too good to be true, keep getting a service provider update required (but it won't update) and access denied here and there. can't even odin flash back to Android 12 for some strange reason hmm

It's working perfectly for me. Have you reverted CSC ? And deleted cache and factory reset after flashing. I have literally 0 errors and 5G works. But I deleted did a wipe cache and factory reset and reverted CSC as well

What Odin version too ? I used the latest PatcheD version from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/patched-odin-3-13-1.3762572/

XME - Malaysia released OneUI 5 Android 13 for Z Flip 3

This is how my INU firmware with EUX CSC looks.

I think it's to do with trying to root it. It detects root and denies access to the PC, to update the service provider and many more things something like 'we have detected a tampered device, please contact your customer service'

All okay now must have been gremlins .. I think it detects your CSC when installing, it reads your simcard.

Thanks for this thread!
It worked very well for me. Factory reset is a chore after, but everything works and I haven't had any issues so far. I do not root, so nothing to report about that.

Installed the firmware on my BTU phone
Works wonder 0 errors or issues
did Samsung and google cloud backups before flashing during setup restored both and its as if I never did a thing everything was put in its place and it was the most effortless phone setup I ever did
Now I'm just enjoying my android 13

Hi, flashing the home-csc does not restore the phone to factory settings ( wipe data etc ) If you flash the csc, then your phone will be wiped and restored as it was out of the box. Also you dont have to change CSC, i'm on XSA and I flashed the IDU firmware.... This does not chage the CSC of the phone anyway. A lot of the Samsung firmware are multi - CSC these days.

So I could actually just have stayed on EUX without changing my CSC while flashing and everything would have worked fine ? Thanks, that's really good to know!
