[Q] SM-N9005 trouble getting LTE enabled (hong kong firmware)

hey guys i've seen and tried a number of potential fixes for this issue but none have worked for me so far.
i can't get LTE/4g enabled. the hardware is capable, but the firmware won't have a bar of it.
i recently bought a note 3 sm-n9005 lte from a seller based in hong kong and as such, i have TGY as my CSC code.
N9005ZHUENF1 is listed as my bootloader, baseband version, pda version and csc version
i rooted it and tripped my knox flag within an hour of receiving it (lol, whoops, oh well)
being shipped with android 4.4.2, it seems to have the new bootloader that will not let me flash any other firmware. even other 4.4.2 firmwares from carriers in my own country wouldn't work, odin wouldn't get past the system.img.ext4 error. other users found the UK BTU rom to be the solution, but it wouldn't work for me. it seems strange to me that other 4.4.2 firmwares don't have this new locked bootloader or whatever.
i've had limited success with one of the solutions on smokey's wordpress, solution number 2 (google it, i cant post outside links yet). of course the LTE option in mobile networks never showed up, but i was out somewhere and when i checked my phone the LTE/4G icon was displayed up on my taskbar instead of the usual H+/3g one, and i did a quick speedtest and it was definitely running LTE, but then soon after that it stopped working again and i haven't seen it since. so at least i know the device definitely is compatible with my network's lte, its just a matter of enabling it properly on my device.
my learning curve on these things has been pretty steep the last couple of days.
i have a couple of questions.
1. can i change my csc on a 4.4.2 note 3 sm-n9005/has anyone done it yet?
2. if i can change the csc.. what implications will that have? i mean will that mandate certain firmware for a particular region, etc?
3. can i do some kind of wipe to remove this kitkat bootloader, so i can install new firmware from scratch??
thanks very much in advance, i'd love to gain some insight from you guys on this.

How many CSC codes available in your current firmware? If you have only 1 CSC in the firmware, you cannot change it without flashing another firmware.
You can check how many CSC in the firmware by install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app, go to menu 'CSC Changer'.
Please see the screenshot.

Hey thanks for the reply. There is only one csc within my current firmware. I wouldn't mind flashing new firmware, except as of yet I haven't found any that I can, because of this locked boatloader so far it will only accept the current firmware, the others I tried all failed and softbricked my phone within about 5 seconds of starting odin. If anyone knows of any others that might work for this phone, im all ears.

If you purchased from Hong Kong, check if it's a 16gb model. If it is, no other firmware will work add they are for the 32gb models, which would explain the failure. The bootloader isn't locked, but the partitions would be a different layout.
Sent from my leanKernel 3.2 powered stock 4.4.2 (NF1) SM-N900T

Damn. Yeah it is 16gb. I didn't realise the size would affect things like that. Should have bought the 32gb. I guess all I can do is wait for an official update now. Will research more thoroughly before I buy next time

Problem solved
i found a fix guys. anyone else with an SM-N9005 whos having trouble getting LTE to switch on can follow my lead here.
NOTE: YOU WILL NEED ROOT ACCESS FOR THIS, SO GET THAT DONE FIRST. where possible, try use a method that won't trip your knox flag.
this first potential fix below did not work for me, but i understand it may work for others depending on which firmware you have. credit goes to smokey's wordpress for this. (i cant yet post outside links or i would link the page here, just google it)
1. Change with a root explorer of your choice (e.g. Root Explorer, Solid Explorer or EF File Explorer) the value “false” in file persist.radio.lteon into “true” by way of build-in text editor of the root explorer. The file is located in root/data/property. Be sure permissions of persist.radio.lteon are set to rw, after altering the file save the file and make it read-only. Reboot your phone, now you will see and be able to pick the option “LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect)” in Network Mode menu. Important: before altering ANY file on your phone be sure you have a copy of the original, unaltered file!!! Advantage of this solution: even after a phone reboot the option “LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect)” will remain visible/activated.
if the above works for you then by all means, do it, and forget the rest of this post. but for me it didn't change anything, ALTHOUGH i did do the rest of this fix with the above already done. im now outside lte coverage so i cant be bothered going for a drive just to do some more trial and error lol. so it cant hurt to have this done first.
do this in an area that you KNOW has good LTE coverage, so you can at least get confirmation that things are working (or not working) throughout the process. if not, you will have no idea whether it worked or not, and if you missed something, it will be a pain in the ass to go back and forth trying to get it right.
its important that you do things in the order i mention below. i have done some trial and error and if the order is messed up, you will remain stuck on 3g.
1. download an app called "Advanced Signal Status" from the play store, and open it up. select "additional info", then select "device information".
2. open the first drop down menu, it has options like GSM ONLY, CDMA ONLY, LTE ONLY, GSM/CDMA, LTE/GSM, LTE/CDMA, LTE/GSM/CDMA. these all determine which radio combinations can be active at any given time. for most networks, choose LTE/GSM/CDMA. afterwards, it may revert back to LTE/GSM or whatever. thats fine, as long as you still get reception where you should. this should force your phone into LTE mode, but we're not finished yet. keep reading.
3. you may need to switch your data connection off then on again for lte to start working. if it still goes into 3g, go back into advanced signal status and select "LTE ONLY" to force any other connections off.
4. once LTE is active, then go back and select LTE/GSM/CDMA or whatever your network uses, as long as theres LTE/something else. the first page of advanced signal status should show signal strength values under LTE (4g). if everything is still n/a and you're not getting LTE reception, this solution isn't going to work for you. if the LTE is now working, awesome, but we still aren't finished, because it will reset the next time you reboot your phone and you'll be back to step one. not a huge deal, but just annoying. if you can live with that, then you can stop here if you want. personally, i like my fix to be permanent.
5. you need a root explorer app with a built in txt editor function. while doing my trial and error for this i tried a few different ones but the only one that really worked properly for me was called "Root Explorer". but use whatever works for you. root explorer is a paid app ($4.85 when i did it), the free version does not access root files. easily worth the money.
6. you now need to browse to /root/system and you are looking for a file called "build.prop". BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER, BACK THAT FILE UP! if you are using Root Explorer, like me, then it will create a backup automatically when you save changes, but do it anyway just to be safe.
7. open "build.prop" using the explorer's built-in text editor. it may ask you whether you want to alter the file's permissions in order to edit it, so yes you want to do that.
8. scroll about 2/3 of the way down and you will find a few lines that look like this:
#
# System props for telephony
# System prop to turn on CdmaLTEPhone always
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0
9. while being very careful not to change anything else, change the last character on the last line so that it looks like this:
telephony.lte.OnCdmaDevice=1
10. save changes and exit.
11. make sure LTE is still active, and reboot your phone.
12. open up the settings gui and go to Connections/More Networks/Mobile Networks/
13. you should now have an ADDITIONAL network mode selector (the original one won't have changed, and still won't have an lte option) and it should be set to something like GSM/WCDMA/LTE. if not, then change it so it is. and DONT TOUCH IT AGAIN.
14. if you want, you can now uninstall the "advanced signal status" app because you won't need it unless you do this all again some day. if you mess around with anything we've just done and you lose your lte service, you'll need to start again and do things in this order.
i hope this helps some of you. i got my note 3 a week ago and have been tearing my hair out over not having lte because that was the main reason i bought a new phone. i'm by no means an expert (but i am an IT student, so thats something), so theres probably a tidier way to do this, but hey, it works so i'll take it

Unlock all bands of your Qualcomm device! Use your phone globally! No bs!

You do everything here at your own risk. I take no responsibility for any broken devices/sdcards/your house going down on fire and everything else.
PLEASE DO NOT MIRROR THESE FILES!
Requirements:
root
ability to use mouse and keyboard
terminal emulator on your phone
What do you get for doing this?
Propably you'll be able to use a lot more bands than before. Most likely your phone will work on every place in the world now.

after
1. Download this zip Google it as it's banned from xda for the ability of imei change
2. Extract it and install QPST from that zip
3. Open the caller app and type in *#*#8778#*#* (it should go off the screen after you type in the last symbol "*"
3.5 Those on custom roms (tested on cyanogen 11 with s4 mini) can use the efs professional toolkit to change the mode to enable the diag port.(Thanks @blackburn !)
4. Connect your phone to your PC
5. Open ADB console
6. Type in these commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
setprop persist.usb.eng 1
7. Turn off USB Debugging, Disconnect your phone from the PC
8. Wait about 10 seconds (don't have to be exact, just let it all disconnect in the PC) and turn USB Debugging back on
10. Connect it back to the PC. It should try to install drivers. Wait until it fails to install all of them.
11. Open device manager - you will see your device model a few times. Go to details tab. Scroll down a single time on that tab. You will see MI_0x there.
12. Go through those devices until you find MI_04 under the second drop down position.
13. Select "update driver" for this device and install the htc driver from the zip.
14. Press start button and navigate to QPST -> QPST Configuration
15. Go back to device manager -> modems -> HTC
16. Find "COM*" in my case it was "COM3". It might be different for you.
17. In QPST Configuration click on "Add new port" and in "Port" type in your "COM*". In my case It's "COM3" in there. In Port label it could be anyting u want. In my case I used a Z1 so I typed IN "Z1".
18. It should look like this now.
19. Navigate to QPST/bin and open RV_NV_Manager.exe
20. press on settings -> Comport and choose your COM port.
21. Press on file -> read from phone
22. Wait patiently until it is finished. Now pay attention!
23. Go to line 1877, click it and copy the decimal number on the right side of a programme. right click - copy
24. Go to the place where you extracted the zip from the first step and start mzTool
25. On the left side you will see "Input radix" - press decimal there.
26. On the right side you will see "RF BC CONFIG" paste your previously copied number from the RV_NV_Manager.exe there.
27. You will see now what bands are you able to use on the bottom of the app in "Bit information"
28. Switch tab to "Band Preference (NV Value)"
29. In there select all GSM bands and WCDMA bands. This place is really a field of testing. In my case (C6903 LTE) I selected all of GSM and WCDMA. I wouldn't suggest you to do anyting else in here unless you know what your'e doing. Let me know if you got something interesting in there.
30. After you're done choosing what bands do you want - copy decimal number from the bottom right
31. Remove all commas from that number ( "," ) so it would be just a bunch of numbers without anything else.
32. Open RV_NV_Manager.exe from the point you left it (step 23) and paste your new number without commas "," there.
33. Press on write NV and then press on file ->write changed NV to the phone.
34. Open up the terminal emulator on your phone and write there this:
Code:
su
setprop persist.usb.eng 0
35. Reboot the device and hope you'll have the reception. If you do, hooray!
36. Type in *#*#SERVICE#*#* (*#*#7378423#*#*) to see your new bands that your phone can use!
If your phone can't boot then flash stock FTF to your device and you should have your reception back!
Enjoy!
I wanted to mention that I'm just the guy that was interested in this and the person that actually made it possible is @BlackSoulxxx all thanks go to him! He's the guy that did it! Please thank him in the second post!
PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME IF IT WORKS ON YOUR DEVICE! I DON'T KNOW. YOU HAVE TO TRY IT YOURSELF.
If you have any problems or issues here's some help from other users http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55321344&postcount=3
Tested on: ZU, Z1,SP,Xperia TL,Sharp-DOCOMO Aquos Zeta SH-04F

Dangerous stuff to experiment with. Already lost 2 phone (2 expensive paper-weight with OmniBalance design -_- )
But ENJOY!
And remember to check out *#*#4636*#*# to select band (I dont advice to do that, because to revert it you will have to reflash baseband)
And the setting

Nexus connection
1. Remove all installed drivers.
2. Install LG United Mobile Driver
3. Enable debugging and install adb driver if it's not automatically installed.
4. Using adb issue the following commands on a separate line
Code:
adb shell
su
setprop sys.usb.config diag, adb
5. Your phone should start installing drivers, once installed under Ports in device manager there should be (* indicates a number):
LGE AndroidNet for Diagnostics Port (COM*)
LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COM*)
Thanks for that @CHAMAVELI !

I forget to tell you that this can works with UB and LB If you want to unlock for non-Xperia device that power by SD PM me....

Is it also supposed to work on the LTE bands, or just GSM and WCDMA? For instance, would it reveal any 'hidden' LTE bands on LT30AT?

Yes, works with GSM/WCDMA/LTE, even with CDMA if you phone supporting them. About hidden band, just give it a try
But if your phone is 3G variant, it will unlock wcdma/gsm band only. Using LTE version, result like OP screenshot

But why?
Hello M1cha,
I'm sorry if this is obvious but what exactly can I use this for
Is it changing my IMEI?
And if so, why would I want to change it?
Again, I'm sorry if the answer is obvious and I'm just asking a stupid question.

Do you know if Xiaomi.eu will really shut down or not? I can't seem to get straight answers on the Q&A forum

On mi2 u can't change the IMEI because it's locked.
But you can change several settings and unlock bands.
I don't think MA shuts down soon but Marks ups and downs are very annoying.

but when I enable WCDMA ..i can see the network [0]=CellInfoWcdma ..... but the type of network is still GPRS ... maybe some setting?

I don't think so. That's the normal behavior if a band isn't supported.
You can even enabled LTE but it won't work because the hw doesn't support it.

Modem Dead
I'm sorry to bother you again, but I have a big problem ..... with Qualcomm QPST I have a modified live parameters for the WCDMA network, but now the modem does not work anymore (2g, 3g, lte) and I can not connect the phone with QPST (say NO pHONE) .... I can do something ??
thanks

Well you have to restore the parameters to the original ones. I hope you made a backup.

Does somebody know which code it is for Redmi2? *#*#717717#*#* doesn't work... I want to try to unlock LTE band 20 (800Mhz), do you think any chance?

Any of you have got unlock 900MHz 3G on MI2 with this ?

Hi M1cha, I'd like to so a backup, but I can't let it work.
My problems start from the biginning: when I enter the code I got no toast message. I tried to connect anyway the phone (when is on, with and without debug option), but I don't see much devices, only the usual MI2 MTP.
Suggestions? Could be ROM releated?

IF YOUR DEVICE IS RUNNING 5.1, FOLLOW THE GREEN INSTRUCTIONS!
In order to attempt to get Verizon/Motorola to push out a new update with a fix for the removal of the option to switch to GSM, please sign this petition on Change.org and share it to anyone who you know will sign it! https://www.change.org/p/verizon-daniel-s-mead-stop-carrier-locking-motorola-moto-e-lte-xt1528
Background Info: I work at Walmart in the Connection Center, and today I had a customer wanting to switch to Family Mobile from AT&T, so I showed them our Family Mobile devices and T-Mobile Devices, they didnt seem interested in them and said they wanted somthing that had Android 5.0 Lollipop, I thought about it for a minute and remembered that the Moto E (2015) shipped with Lollipop installed, I also knew that Verizon phones come unlocked, so I showed them the device and they decided to go with it, they bought the Family Mobile Micro SIM starter kit, and the Moto E, but once I powered it on, I couldn't get it to connect to Family Mobile, so I tried to access the advanced radio menu (*#*#4636#*#*) to no avail, but I eventually got it working, with full LTE support, heres how:
POSSIBLE SIM SWAP WORKAROUND (Reported by wogeboy):
Disable vzwAPNpermissions.apk and vzwAPNservice.apk using this program: http://bit.ly/1HHyVao
I have not tested this as I dont have a VZW Moto E to test it on.
5.1 Updated Instrcutions:
With the SIM you want to use the the phone :
1. Put the phone into Airplane mode (I'm not sure this is needed, but it doesn't hurt)
2. Go to Settings -> About Phone and tap on "Build Number" until it says you are in Developer Mode (~10 times)
3. Go back one menu, and right above About Phone there should now be an option for Developer Options, go into that.
4. Turn on USB Debugging
5. Connect the phone to your computer and type "adb shell" in your CMD window
6. Run the following commands in adb shell :
pm clear com.android.providers.telephony
settings put global preferred_network_mode 9
settings put global preferred_network_mode1 9
settings put global preferred_network_mode2 9
7. Turn off Airplane mode
8. Power off and Restart the phone
9. Open up the settings app, go to the mobile networks panel, select "Prefered Network Mode" and change it to "4G"
10. Input the appropriate APNs for your specific carrier
11. (Optional). Disable all Verizon apps through settings or Titanium Backup.
CREDIT: docna
.
5.0.2 Instructions:
1. Power on the device with the GSM SIM card in the SIM card slot
2. Connect to WiFi and complete Google Sign-In
3. Go to the Play Store and search "Network" download the first app (A white circle with a black phone in it) (This will allow us access to the advance radio options)
4. Open the "Network" shortcut
5. Change the radio mode from "CDMA/LTE PRL" to "GSM/LTE Auto"
6. Open up the settings app, go to the mobile networks panel, select "Prefered Network Mode" and change it to "4G"
7. Input the appropriate APNs for your specific carrier
8 (Optional). Disable all Verizon apps through settings or Titanium Backup.
The only thing I couldnt solve was how to remove the "SIM Card is not from Verizon Wireless" error in the status bar permanently, but thats just an annoyance, and causes no usability decrease.

This Works!
Thanks a lot, had been trying to get the GSM working. The "Network" app in the Play Store give access to the hidden radio selection menu. Verizon was able to disable all other way to enter the radio selection menu but this one did it. I think there is a apk file somewhere which disables the annoying "NOT verizon SIM" message. I will post here if I find that works.

That's a lot easier than poking around in NVram! Thanks, OP. And yeah, there's a Setup app or something you need to freeze for then sim error. I'll have to get mine out and find it.

Here are screen snaps. The VZ phone is actually picking up LTE for Ting (T-Mobile).

Thanks a ton for this! Do you know what the APN setting should be for T-Mobile? That's my current challenge. Every site has a different opinion. Including T-Mobile.

APN: fast.t-mobile.com
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
that should be all you have to set

Method Works on SPRINT AND BOOST too
Thanks
This method works on Boost and Sprint too.
Tested in INDIA working fine with indian GSM carriers.

The device may not support Ukrainian bands, check with your carrier to see what band they use for HSPA/LTE

I'll have to get mine out and find it.

This only kinda works with T-Mobile. No LTE or 3G, just edge - and that keeps disconnecting and reconnecting about once every minute or so. I'll have to look into the return/exchange policy if I can't get data working.

Yep. See my snapshot above for Ting GSM (T-Mobile) in Florida. 4G LTE indicated.

I figured it out. With WiFi on my cell signal strength fluctuates wildly, but as soon as I turn off the WiFi the signal settles down, and I get a solid LTE connection averaging about 32Mbps. Strange, but I've seen crazier things.
Side note, the XT1528 is not eligible for the Motorola unlock program, and cannot be rooted by any method currently available. Several "one click root" tools claim to support it, but don't actually work.

That root thread won't root the XT1528?

Root must be flashed with a custom recovery, which in turn requires that the boot loader be unlocked. Since the boot loader on the XT1528 can't be unlocked, we can't use that root technique.

930U Firmware for all phones!!! New Update

930U FIRMWARE​
Those of you on Sprint that have been locked into the Sprint only firmware now can go back to the beloved U firmware...or flash a carrier firmware of your choice. If you are still on b4, I would stay, but if not, now is the chance to install the U firmware.
Check your current bootloader version. You may not be able to odin carrier firmware after install the U firmware.
I'll put the files in this Google Drive folder
1. Download Odin3_v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD.zip (Check Odin Folder)
2. Download SM-G930U_B.zip this is the newest U firmware (Check G930U Firmware Folder)
SM-G930U_A.zip if you are on 'A' firmware and want to go back to carrier
SM-G930Ub9.zip if you are on '9' firmware and want to go back to carrier
3. Extract both zips
4. Open Odin
5. Place the files from SM-G930Uxxxxxxxx.zip into the correct BL, AP, CP, CSC blanks.
6. Put phone into download mode (power, home, volume down)
7. Connect phone to computer. Odin should now say phone is added. If not, install the Samsung phone drivers
8. Press START. This process will take about 10 minutes
9. Phone will reboot with new U firmware and Oreo installed.
HotSpot
1. download the QuickShortcutMaker app from the playstore.
2. Search for lte
3. Expand com.test.LTEfunctionality
4. Click on the new com.test.LTEfunctionality
5. Press Try
6. Scroll to LTE APN Settings
7. Click APN2 LTE internet (may be different outside of sprint)
8. Scroll to APN Type
9. Add " ,dun " The line should show read < default,mms,dun >
10. Click 3 dots to save
Random Questions/Answers:
1. Is it multi-csc? Yes, it should support any US carrier if your phone is carrier unlocked
2. Wifi Calling/VoLTE supported? Wifi Calling=yes; VoLTE=not sure, sprint doesn't support it.
3. Are XXX bands used with my carrier unlocked? All bands with major US carriers appear to be working. You can follow this guide for unlocking additional LTE bands to confirm or unlock more international bands. Change the dial code for the USB settings to ##3424#
________________________________________________________________________________
Old Stuff
The "U" Firmware will work on any G930 Galaxy S7 (basically, USA variants) and is the Samsung Galaxy Touchwiz OS without carrier bloat. There is Samsung Bloat, but some can be uninstalled or disabled with a program like Package Disabler Pro or just disable it under application manager.
This should not trip Knox and will allow you to flash back to your original stock firmware. Warranty should not void, but I'm not responsible for bricked devices, exploding batteries, crying babies, Earth crushing meteors. If you have a question, best to ask it first!
There is an OTA to PG9 after you install this firmware. Feel free to upgrade after you flash this!
Installation:
1. Download
Updato Firmware Website ​or​ Sammobile Firmware Website ​or​ PL2 Firmware Google Drive (post 365 for MD5)​
2. Extract files. May be best to download files over a wired connection!
3. Open ODIN and place the BL; AP; CP; CSC from the rar in the corresponding slots.
4. Place phone in download mode. Power + Vol Down + Home
5. Connect Phone to computer
6. Odin should recognize your phone. If not, you need to download and install the Samsung Driver Files
7. Press Start
8. It should flash the "U" Firmware.
____________________________________________________
Pit Mapping Error Fix
1. Download the Pit File Here
1a. You will have to down the Sprint PE1 firmware from Pit File Here or Pit File Here
The bootloader changed from v3 to v4 after the PGx update. If you are going to odin the latest firmware, you shouldn't have any issue. Going back to PGx to PCx/PEH will require this.
2. In Odin click the tab that says "Pit"
3. Odin will pull up a Warning dialogue. Click ok.
4. Click the long rectangular "Pit" button to select the pit file
5. Select the file that says "HEROQLTE_USA_SPR.pit" from the files you downloaded from my link.
6. With the pit file nw included, Add the AP, CP, and CSC files again and flash. (may need to reboot and go back into download mode)
7. Now odin the older 'U' firmware
____________________________________________
You cannot root this firmware with the Sprint model. Here are some apps that will give you some root/xposed features without them.
HotSpot
1. Download Shortcut Master Lite
2. Search for LTEfunctionality
3. Click on com.test.LTEfunctionality
4. Launch
5. Scroll down to LTE APN Setting
6. Add " ,dun " to APN2 LTE and EHRPD internet under APN type. That line should read default, mms, dun when you finish.
7. Native Hotspot should work. You may have to do this hack again if you update Profile.
Ad Blockers
None of these block ads on Youtube completely. Some will let you route through their servers to filter ads on Youtube via a VPN.
1. Adhell Uses Samsung Knox to block ads and trackers. Blocks most things on webpages and apps (no youtube), but saves a ton a battery since it doesn't require VPN. Also, it is FREE and well supported!
2. Disconnect Pro Similar to Adhell, but a paid app. Search the Galaxy App Store to buy it. Uses Samsung Knox too.
3. Ad Guard. Best I've used, but is a paid app for the good features.
4. AdClear. Some have had success with this, I've had mixed results.
5. BlockThis! Works well, but caused issues on some webpages.
Youtube Ads
This doesn't block ads, but it does silent and auto skip them. Cygery
Skip Tracks With Volume Keys
1. Frinky Music Controller Allows you to skip tracks with screen off.
2. Noyze Not sure if still being developed, but works. Let's you skip tracks by long pressing with screen off.
Voicemail Issue
I use Google Voice, so this worked for me. It is/was free to integrate your number with Google Voice...highly recommend if they still do it.
Install this apk for Sprint Visual Voicemail apk It will give you an error, but will take away the annoying voicemail notification. Then you can just hide the notification in the android settings and your problem will be solved. May work if you have regular voicemail, but probably not since it needs to write to system.
Doze Related
Remember to whitelist apps you want running in the background...like Pandora, Google Music, etc. I would leave them off at first and if it cuts off when the screen is off, you need to white list it.
For me, these both work best together and I saw a difference running both as opposed to either solely.
1. ForceDoze puts your phone into doze mode without the motion detectors and 30 minute wait. Great app! Does require you to install adb (adb installer) since you have to run a command to get it to run properly. Check Disable motion sensing and turn off while charging
2. Greenify The auto hibernation works great if we had root, but we don't. It works, but can be extremely annoying at times and can drain battery because it may continuously try to force stop/close an app you greenify. Plus, it will take a few seconds to re-unlock your phone immediately after you turn off the screen. However, I use it with force doze for the aggressive doze. I saw a difference in battery life by using them both.
Other Tips
Besides the obvious of gmail/facebook/whatspp/twitter/snapchat syncing
1. Turn off wi-fi scanning
2. Back up my data for Samsung and Google under back up and reset
3. Turn off some features under advanced features in settings...for example, palm swipe to capture if you never use it
4. Location History under Location
5. Change locating method...I leave mine on GPS, wi-fi, mobile, but some people want more battery life and turn it off.
6. Turn on developer options and change animations to 0.5
7. Turn off Always on Display under settings > display. I like it, so I leave it on...but takes about 2% an hour
Old stuff
Has anyone tried the 930U firmware for our Sprint phones (930P)? They seem to have success with it (935U) over at the Sprint S7 Edge forums.
On the Edge forums, they said you can root, but it messes with LTE/call abilities. However, it removes all Sprint bloatware and apparently allows for hotspot tethering.
According to the Edge forums, it is the universal firmware, so it should work on any qualcomm chipset phone. The firmware is for the Galaxy S7 Special Edition ( Link to Sprint site about it )
Anyway, here is the thread on the AT&T forum about it if you are interested. Didn't see a thread or info about here, so I was just wondering.

If you have a good tip or trick, let me know and I'll add it to the OP for easy reference.

I flashed it on my G930P and its working very well. Samsung pay is also working. The only problem is that it didn't get the latest security update. Hope this helps.

After flashing...does data, calling, texting and all that work fine?

That technique won't work with that version. I only got it to work on PE1 by rooting. I read that you can use PDAnet via the USB tether option.
