PB5 firmware download? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

Is there a download for PB5 firmware? Want to give the unlocked firmware a try but want a stock firmware to recover to if it fails.
PB5 is the release firmware from my understanding as I never updated.
samsung-updates mirrors have a 2GB cap for the free download.

Found this while looking for the same thing. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=56089

PB5 is only an update version. It's still marshmallow

I have a gs7 that had updates blocked and PB5,
It started bootlooping this morning.
battery has run out and powered down.
Waiting for recharge then hoping to boot to download mode to push PB5 tar.
If fail then will try latest rom tar.

Weird, i was thinking that this is one of the Canadian versions avaliable for download http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/72507/N910W8VLU1DPE2_N910W8OYA1DPE2_BMC/
Also i forgot N910T it's not from north america.
This is ridiculous! T-mobile updated all of their scheduled MM updates, except Note 4s and Tab S2! Whats wrong with them!!! I'm soo mad...

This might have just came out after i posted this... but if it will work with your phone as long as the model match then no reason why you can't upgrade....
if you want to download it, just get samfirm and download it using that with model number as sm-n910w8 and either use TLS (Telus) or RWC for Region.
Set the option to decrypt automatically. You can use odin to flash.

Fwiw, it decrypts/ extracts as a .zip file, so won't flash in Odin. I assume it's a zip due to it being a downloadable update directly to the phone. Flash in TWRP or CWM?

Well...it is indeed from North America, as the USA is in North America. However, it is not the "North American" version.
Will it work in a N910T? Beats me.

if you upgraded from 5.1.1 to 6.0 you have lost root more then likely.. you may need to wait for a new way to root 6.0..

Actually the DPE2 firmware is posted as a zip, but once you unzip your download (which is over 2 GB in size, btw!) you will have a .tar.md5 file that you flash with Odin in the usual way.
As for the question of whether you actually _can_ flash the DPE2 firmware for the N910W8 on the N910T, at least one developer, Ovrdrive, who tried it on his N910T said it wouldn't boot, and I haven't seen any posts here from anyone saying they got it to work on a N910T. So - any brave soul who tried DPE2 on his N910T and made it work should post about his success here.

NO it will not work on the 910T. not through Odin anyways as the model number won't match. Sefrcoko is working on a flashable zip and deodexing but at the moment is having issues with deodexing so it may work through flashing in recovery with a MM kernel. We will have to wait and see

Not for me. I downloaded it using SamFirm (as mentioned earlier), and set to "Decrypt Automatically. It completed as a Zip file that would not unzip. Perhaps it was corrupt. ?

I've never used Samfirm. I was talking specifically about the zip files posted at sammobile (link for the N910W8 version in my previous post), which are intended to be unzipped to a .tar.md5 and flashed with Odin.

I assume that since you upgraded to MM, and T-Mobile has yet to ship MM, you have a N910W8 and you installed DPE2. It's the bootloader that came with DPE2 that is the problem. All the custom ROMs, even the MM port ones, are intended for the most recent T-Mobile bootloader, which is DOK2 Lollipop 5.1.1, or the most recent Canadian equivalent, COK3 Lollipop 5.1.1. When and if T-Mobile finally, FINALLY ships their version of MM, the custom ROMs here will probably be based on that bootloader instead. T-Mo and Samsung should be ashamed about how long MM is taking. Verizon has it. EVERY Canadian carrier has it. Looks like T-Mo is shooting for the distinction of being the very last carrier anywhere to ship MM.
Anyway, until then you need to use Odin to downgrade to COK3 (or, at least the COK3 bootloader) before any currently available custom ROMs will boot.

hi all,
i've been running the g935a handset with the g935u firmware for ages now, just wondered when you flash the u firmware does it unlock the bootloader on the handset? as when you flash the firmware you flash a bootloader file?? and does it make the phone like the u model as in can i root and flash custom roms for the u model on the phone???? probably asked already so sorry in advance if it was.
cheers for any info

No guarantees it will flash properly. It depends on the size of the hidden partition. I would wait for a debranded firmware like BTU or XEU.

Bro did u flash complete firmware or skipped CSC??
Can the firmware be flashed over 925I model?? Since the hardware is same I guess it shouldn't be a problem??
Thanks for your input @ joecool666 and @lynxblaine.
This morning I just received the 7 OTA on my device and is installing as we speak. It's aprox 200MB smaller than on the S7e (i'm on S6e).
For anyone interested.. I flashed this last night.. but it FAILED on hidden partition... had to emergency repair it. I'm using g925f in the UK on Vodafone..
Edit...
I flashed the UK Vodafone from sammobile
can i flash it with odin or i must install twrp recovery first?
has anyone tried secure folder app ?
I've installed it from Sammobile but it does not run saying "unauthorised"

Flash it with Odin. Why would you install TWRP for the purpose of updating to Nougat Official?
Does not make sense. Hence, good luck and happy flashing official OS 7.

Unable to downgrade from U1 unlocked to ATT U firmware

I currently have the U1 unlocked firmware flashed and am trying to flash it back to the original U firmware because of the new bootloader issue. I am receiving an Odin fail error all the time with different USB ports and computers. Is there something I did wrong? Also, I purchased this as a G950U device. I recently got it unlocked through ATT so does that mean it is now a G950U1 device?
The G950U is the unlocked version, so why did you have to unlock it through AT&T?
It should've worked straight off the bat.
This is the U version (For USA, unlocked version) https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s8-8161.php#g950u
And the AT&T version is the G950A.

Is the bootloader version on the firmware you're trying to flash the same as the one that's on there now? You can't downgrade bootloader versions.

I'm honestly not sure. The firmware was the original stock ATT version and I was running the latest Nougat update. I switched the CSC code back to ATT from AIO this morning using the main guide here, but I am now stuck on that Factory Binary screen. Is there a firmware for v2 bootloader for ATT out there?
