my phone updated to it today
the ver my phone has isG930PVPU7CRG3 sprint
Sprint must really not want their phones be unbranded or flashed to another carrier.

i use this link to check what firmware samsung is testing, see here
for sprint, use this one
this also means that, once this update is released, at least for the unlocked S7, we won't be able to downgrade to marshmallow or nougat . I assume samsung is doing this so remaining s7 users are forced to stay on oreo forever

I'm sure this is just coincidence, but I've been trying to get a Sprint S7 working properly on T-mobile's network and was communicating with both T-mobile and Samsung support all last week, advocating for both of them to increase their bootloader version. In particular, I think it makes sense for the 930U to always match or exceed the highest carrier version. I'm not sure if there's any substantive difference among bootloader versions, but that way users would always have the freedom to switch carriers. (The 930P often fails to make calls on T-mobile's network, since it doesn't support VoLTE).
This should probably drop around mid-November based on past updates and codes.
I have bootloader version 7 I think if it goes by the 5th number. I keep getting fuse errors when I try to flash this phone and I've never flashed anything before.

Sounds like you are trying to flash a firmware that isn't b7. This would result in the fuse error.

Ahh OKay I figured mine was 7 because I'm on Oreo and my PDA: G930PVPS7CRH2. IM on the sprint variation and I'm just stuck at this point. I rooted my moto 4 plus the first day I tried which is a snapdragon as well. This Odin things tricky though. I guess I can't get the new xposed either then unless it's possible to install without flashing. I really would appreciate anyones help thanks ?

I'm not sure about xposed, but if you're stuck with your phone in a non-functional state after trying to install a lower bootloader firmware, you can always re-flash the latest stock sprint firmware.

Why didn't att just play nice and update to V3? Instead they update To V4 so I can't flip flop between t-mobile firmware and there's. Does root still work? On the other hand, I can flash Verizon firmware I guess.

I can't root, looks like it's back to the drawing board. It figures this happen as soon as I feel it necessary to root my device......
I advise everyone to not take any OTAs after the first August patch so you can still be able to root and flash roms. It isn't a problem for me since I wasn't planning on rooting this phone again anyways..

@raremind couldn't root on BL4. It's unfortunate how we can't root on API2, but if the developers are willing to find out a new way to gain root access on API2, then it wouldn't be the end of the world for anyone who wants the latest OTA but still want root.

Has anyone been able to get WiFi calling or VOLTE to work on the U firmware? I haven't been on it in a while.
Edit: not sure why i quoted you for this question. Lol sorry.
I have been trying to get it working as well. I wish that att would support wifi calling like T-Mobile does I only get 1-2 bars and sometimes no signal when I'm at a certain spot in my workplace and when I had the original att software on my phone I loved wifi calling, I don't particularly miss VOLTE though
Thank you so much for doing this. I was using the wrong Odin to flash.
Quick question on this. Now that I am running the U firmware, will I get OTA updates? I'm using a Cricket sim card.
I hated the AT&T firmware so much. I'm so much happier with this.

Need to flash T-Mobile firmware in order for at least wifi calling to work.
after flashing this firmware.. I noticed a huge gain in performance.
and mobile hotspot works, I run cricket unlimited, and will come in handy.
I like the clean appearance and the smooth responsiveness, I used the AT&T firmware and I used PDP to disable a ****load of bloat, but nothing like this smooth.
not to mention I'm getting updates, which I'm more happy about.
this is really nice to have.

Next put your phone in download mode and open odin make sure all firmware files are in the right spot and click start wait until your phone boots into recovery mode and restarts, after that to clean up old temp files factory reset in recovery when your phone boots to the welcome screen, after that you are finished. THIS is For att and tmobile phones only unless your verizon phone is using one of the two carriers sprint won't work due to proprietary activation processes.

As long as you had att unlock the phone you are fine

Please help me understand
I see some forums on this site that says, " G930UUEU2APEH flashes to g930a" then you have this post that says G930U firmware on SM-G930A. It seems as if one is saying to take the G930U and go to G930A and the other saying G930A and go to G930U. I thought the advantage is to go to the U and get off the A. Please confirm if this is the case. Granted then if this is the case... then, what are the advantages of going to the U? From what I understand it gets rid of the bloatware, and makes it so you can tether?
Also once I go, are there any negative reasons for me not to go from A to U?
Does this give me the current version of Nougat?
Do I get the upgrades from AT&T to keep up with future version of Nougat?
Also before proceeding to the U version MUST I first ROOT my phone?
Also MUST my phone be UNLOCKED?
Thanks in advance,
DavyCrockett said:

I flashed the Verizon one. The reason I asked my previous question is because Volte/WiFi Calling is important to me because I get LTE signal just fine in my area but no 3G/HSPA so I rely on those two for phone calls at home. Volte and WiFi calling are working good. Thanks for the upload.
Since this is the stock ROM would dirty flashing as a update work okay?
EDIT: Nevermind, I used my eyes and read the OP.
EDIT 2: Successfully flashed. You the man! Been waiting to get this VOLTE fix. Big thanks :good:

US model 4gb. Bought it from amazon, non amazon version obviously since I flashed this. I used the VZW build since I'm on Verizon.
Just FYI, it appears with the new Blv3 firmwares, the device will only accept official firmware. Meaning, no more flashing U1 firmware on the carrier models, or vice versa. No more flashing U or U1 firmware to the Canadian W models. Flashing between carrier firmwares is fine as long as it's on a carrier branded device (running TMB on a VZW device, etc). But running 950U firmware on a 950U1 will result in a brick, that is this far unrecoverable.
If your currently are running U1 firmware on a U device, vice versa, or running W firmware on a U or U1 device, or vice versa, you need to flash back to the firmware version that shipped with your device BEFORE you accept any OTAs that take you up to Blv3. Currently the S series is still on BlV2, but may go to Blv3 like the Note series just did.*
This has been tested and confirmed.
Credit goes to @me2151, @FatalONEM8*for discovering this and warning people. I didn't find the issue or test, it just passing on the info to hopefully save some bricks.
Update from @mweinbach:
EDIT: After being tested by XDA Senior member me2151, it turns out cross region flashing does work. Prince Comsy Odin is working, but we can not test if the factory binary flashing will hard brick your phone. So flashing US unlocked onto a US carrier device should work.
This myth has been completely busted. We are not sure what bricked the tester's phone. He was not trying to downgrade from Blv3 to Blv2, nor did it have anything to do with FRP lock or user accounts as some people (who weren't involved in the testing) suggested.
But as we have verified, and has also been verified by users here at XDA, Prince Comsy ODIN still works on Blv3. Carrier switching still works on Blv3. @BlueFox721 has posted the Factory Binary files for Blv3 as well as a guide for carrier switching.
So carry on! Canadians, feel free to use U software! U users, feel free to use U1 software!
I am happy to admit I was wrong, and I apologize for any frantic flashing and factory resets I caused. I genuinely was trying to prevent hard bricks, and decided to err on the side of caution, even if that meant I overreacted.
Thank you for understanding!

Seriously, post back here when you test it.

Im confused by what is posted by OP. I bought an unlocked device directly from Samsung and if I recall, it was a U1. I immediately flashed the Verizon firmware version (1AQ15) and have been getting OTAs. This morning I updated via OTA to 3BRA5 with no problem. Given no issues, should I worry if I ever need to ODIN a Verizon firmware with v3 BL in the future?

You may have lucked out. I'll bring it to the attention of the Telegram group.
Can somebody smarter then me explain what this means for me?
I'm currently a 950W device running BLV3 CRAD from the 950U
From what I understand, don't accept OTAs, so I've turned off auto update,
but from what I can see, I'm not able to register my phone to receive OTA's
because I'm on unreleased firmware.
ignore it, aslong as you flash a BL3 firmware through odin, I was on oreo too and used the nougat 7.1.1 with BL3 which was just released, you can flash with odin with no issues whatsoever, Only use firmware from N950U and youl be fine

So far there have been no issues with the oreo leaks on blv3. But what we've seen is once the official releases come out, if you accept an OTA or ODIN to the new official firmware. It will brick if you're trying to use a different region CSC. I.e. running 950U firmware on a 950W or vice versa.

Ohh okay, that makes sense, so for example, if I stay on this build, once an official odin of the 950W comes out with BLV3 I can safely odin to that?

Not pleased that I'm going to have to either stay on my current build of Nougat forever or flash back to Sprint, as Sprint disables things like Samsung's built in caller ID and replaces it with their own pay app. Not to mention a tonne of other unwanted bloat.
How does the boot loader know the firmware has been cross flashed anyway? I thought all that mattered was that the image was signed by Samsung.
There are only Snapdragon Devices affected, or also exynos devices?

True i didnt think about that half of it....
Oh well good thing I like where i'm at.
Forget sammy and Forget Oreo
I don't asked because the modded Odin, I asked because that new boatloader update. The boatloader for Exynos are different to Snapdragon. But I think you guys are right. I could bet that new secured boatloader entries are also into Exynos boatloader.
Edit: ok, i just have read the article again. Exynos boatloader are also patched [emoji852]

WHAT?! Who am I going to harass in the N8 forums now?!
Got a few PM on this already, and saw that videos are starting to be posted on this.
MOD EDIT: LINK REMOVED
Clearly shows that it's done just like mine. And shows the global rom as well.
I can say my experience has been great. Signal on att and TMobile seem to be the same, they work great. I also have used Verizon as well.
The phone has got 5G on TMobile in a lot of places.
The software now on global seems faster, no Chinese pop ups etc, no forcing you to use the stock browser when clicking links etc.
The telegram user posted earlier in another thread here on xda, is the same person who generated the key to unlock mine.
Thanks for this. The only thing not clear yet is whether people who flashed global will get OTA or not
People who flash global rom with unlocked bootloader do not get any OTA updates
which means you are stuck forever on the leaked beta 20.2.24 until someone releases a new version

Yup, and it needs to come with the keys from black shark. I have latest global released rom, not the crap beta floating around. This is what I have.
I'm out.

Nice and is it better then the Chinese model? I have the 512GB Chinese model and it's a great phone, but the rom has some issues, mostly notifications. I still wait when it's available on Black Shark EU, but it takes ages there.
