Is there any TWRP or other recovery for SM-G930V

Seems like the only recovery is see in TWRP is for the edge or international versions of the model, so I'm having a hard time adding a recovery. Can anyone help??? I'd greatly appreciate it.

No...the phone just got root and the bootloader is really locked down. No one saw us getting root, so who knows what can happen.

IF we get anything it will most likely be safestrap. So no AOSP.

Use FlashFire!

Are there any Roms or Custom recoveries compatible with this specific model number? Doesn't seem like it.

FlashFire is the compatible recovery. There are two ROMs for the Verizon S7 Edge. http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/development I have personally verified that the PlayStore ROM posted for the Edge will work on the S7 flat.

I should mention that you need to be on the U firmware prior to flashing those ROMs. The ROM also installs the G935 engineering kernel, so you need to flash the G930 boot kernel with Odin afterwards. I can make a write-up later if there is any interest.
I can even modify his ROM with the correct build.prop and kernel for the G930V.

How's the stability and finctionality?

A guide would be awesome. How do I get it up and running lol.

Sounds interesting, don't know if the different firmware/kernel would run better on our Verizon variant.

If you intend to root it, then you still need to use the same engineering kernel. I will say that before I rooted the U-firmware, the phone was much smoother and faster in stock form than the stock Verizon firmware.

Does flashing the engineering kernel unlock more LTE bands by chance? Band 12 to be specific..

Not just the kernel alone. Flash the U firmware and you will be able to select any band, as long as the radio is in the phone for it.

Thanks. Is it the G930U or G935U firmware that's needed? I'm guessing the Edge U firmware is what you're speaking of.. is it a simple flash? I'm running PE1 rooted at the moment.

930u for flat 935u for edge. Just flash entire image over. Shouldn't need root

OK I just accessed service mode on the PE1 firmware.. no Band 12 or 17 option. I'll flash the 930U firmware and attempt again to see if there's a difference at all.
Also, is rooting the 930U firmware the same as the PE1 firmware process?
Sorry for hijacking this thread.

I flashed the G930U firmware and was able to receive Band 17 successfully. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction with the U firmware!

Did you flash the 930U firmware on a flat S7 or edge Verizon variant device. I have a rooted Verizon device and using it on T-Mobile.
Version 6.0.1 July patch.
Can you pm or reply here on how you managed thanks

G930v custom recovery pass dm verity
Can someone point me in the direction of a thread to install custom recovery on the Verizon varient S7? Say hypothetically I could pass the dm-verity check.
How would I go about implementing the pass to install a custom recovery.

Flash T-Mobile S7 ROM on AT&T S7

Hey XDA,
I just recently purchased a AT&T S7 (SM-G930A). I also just recently found out that AT&T doesn't push updates to non AT&T network phones. I am using the phone with T-Mobile and I was wondering if it was possible to flash the T-Mobile stock rom without tripping Knox or anything of that sort. I remember being able to do this to my AT&T Note 2 back in the day. If it is possible, can someone kindly link me to the file and instructions on how to flash the stock ROM from T-Mobile? Thanks!

You can, however once you do you can't go back. It may be possible in the future, but Tmobile has a v3 bootloader, and AT&T is still on v2 bootloader.

Thank you! One more question, I have the stock T-Mobile ROM and for the CSC, there are two files:
CSC and HOME_CSC
Which one do I choose in Odin for the CSC option?
Thanks

When attempting to flash using Odin 3.12.3, I get this error in the log:
FAIL! SHA256 is invalid
This seems to be because of a corrupt file?
I downloaded the ROM from two different sources now and still I get the same error.
Thanks

So TMobile ROM on 930A . Any issues ? Did you try going back to AT&T ROM
All that talk out bootloader versions and not able to restore back to AT&T ROM
Can you odin Unlocked 930U version ?

I'm using Cricket on AT&T S7 variant and I couldn't get any update from AT&T, which pissed me off. So I decided to flash G930U firmware and I succeeded. But unfortunately, there isn't a single G930U update been released so far, which is quite surprising.
Other than the update, I'm extremely satisfied with the new firmware. It's so fast and clean comparing to my previous bloated AT&T firmware, free of all kinds of overheating, battery dropping, slowing down, crashing, auto-restarting, bugs and lags (Just so you know, my G930A firmware was the newest. I had to take my phone to Best Buy to update. And I used PDP to disable bloatwares). I highly recommend everyone to flash G930U. The new firmware also has an APP called Samsung+. It's very useful and it tells you if it detected slow charging, or reminds you to restart your phone if it hasn't been restarted for a while, etc.
I'm still wondering if I can receive OTA after flashing anther variant firmware, but I can't confirm since there's no update for G930U yet. I'm curious to know if OP could receive any T-Mobile update after flashing.

I flashed to the latest update of the ROM so I can't prove it works. But from what I've heard, after flashing the ROM you need to factory reset the phone so it can unregister from att and register to whatever carrier you are using it on. I am not sure how true this is but I read it somewhere and it seems to make sense.

if you ever switch ROMs please check about the issue of bootloader version and not able to revert back .
Not able to revert back is the only issue keeping me from odin to T mobile ROM
If bootloader version is a problem then you cannot flash 930U firmware also
Is that so ?

I'm not sure what bootloader the G930U has. The att ROM has v2. If it's newer than that, then downgrading isn't possible. Is its the same, then it should be fine.

Stock T-mobile on AT&T GS7 Edge??

Hey all.
I have searched and cannot find a specific answer.
I am switching from AT&T to T-Mobile. I have unlocked my device, i want to be able to flash the T-Mobile stock rom on my at&t variant.
Is this possible and how?
Thanks in advance.
Ryan

The ideas I'd try is first try to directly flash the Tmo firmware through Odin or Smartswitch. The other idea would be to go from At&t to U firmware and then to Tmo if the first didn't work, but I'm not sure if there would be any complications.

Ok so dumb question but I figured I'd ask. If I use Odin do I need to root?

No, you do not. Odin is worked through the PC to your phone which is in download mode.

so just to recap ...
no need to root.
just use odin with the stock tmobile rom, and flash it. and it essentially makes this phone a tmobile device being that i am sim unlocked??

Yeah but double check smart switch first. I'm wondering if you put in a T-Mobile SIM if it'll do the dirty work for you. With Odin you may also need a PIT file. Just double check on that as well.

ok, so can you elaborate? i thought the Samsung smart switch was for just transferring content of the device, not carriers. not to sound like a noob but my gs7 edge is the at&t variant.
Also where can I get a PIT file.
one last question.
i downloaded the stock rom, unzipped it. will i need to flash all the respective files in the .zip through odin?

It does transfer content but it also can reinstall firmware. I'm not sure if it'll help carrier variant switch over, but if it does I'm sure it's better than messing with Odin if you don't have to.

Ok got ya. So do I need to flash all the files in the stock zip or just the home one if I use Odin?

Update.
I got it to work.
I had to use the prince comey Odin and flash all the files. Worked like a charm.

So you flashed t-mobile official Odin restore to the G935A? First I hear of something like this happening. Post screenshots

There's several threads with people doing this. I have the 935a, with 935u firmware, and the T-Mobile modem. I'm only sim unlocked. No root, no unlocking, no nothing. Device is 100% better. Better battery, download speeds, reception, and no boat at all.

You can flash any US carrier s7 (edge or flat) factory image to any s7 as long as the bootloader is the same version, or if the version you are flashing is higher. You just cant flash to a lower bootloader version. Been this way since s7 released. I've been running the Verizon nougat and t mobile nougat on my ATT s7 edge and they both work wonderfully. I also found the stock t-mobile firmware ran better on my ATT phone than ATT firmware. No root required. Just research bootloader version before doing this. Right now they are all on v4 so no issues.

[PJ2] Rooting and/or downgrading help?

I have the latest firmware (G930PVPS4APJ2) but I want to root my phone. Is there anyway to root on this firmware/bootloader? Or are there instructions to downgrade?

I didn't think you could get back to PE1 from PJ2 just by flashing the PE1 firmware. I also did not see where you explained how to get Voice and SMS back (possibly not needed if you are coming from PE1). Is this info included in the download (dropbox is preventing download because you're soo popular ) or does the XTether mod fix this issue?
I have heard that flashing the Echoe Rom from PE1 fixes most issues.

Yes you can start on PJ2 Firmware, however before you start rooting process you have to be on PE1. My guide includes how to get back down to PE1 before you start rooting. You can use Odin and the firmware included to flash you Samsung completely back to PE1. The only reason you can't use PJ2 is because it has updated PRL's and they wont allow you to reactivate your service, therefore to reactivate your phone service you have to be on PE1 Firmware using the older PRL's.
I do not know anything about a pit file, I have done this process many times with no problem. The reason I've done it so many times is to test out its success rate, and every time I've done it, the method gets easier to do, and it works 100% of the time.

As it says in the post, I did not create this method, I simply make it easier to follow. How to get sms and calling back is in the link reference under the subtitle "4.Rooting:". He shows how to root the device and then get everything working. He just doesn't explain the setup,how to install Xposed, and he does not show how to get back to PE1 so that's what I've done with my post, is just make it easier to follow.
SIDE NOTE: Service and sms is very easy to get back on PE1 I tried many times to do it on PJ2 using different methods, the PRL just wouldn't allow me to activate my device.

When I tried this method it said pit fail immediately in Odin. I tried adding the pit file but it still failed

just tried it too. Same result. execept i didn't try with a PIT. think you could provide it for me? @vegoja

Flash G955U1 With ENG_BOOT.tar And Modified ODIN. HOTSPOT, NO BLOATWARE (Confirmed)

Successfully flashed from G955USQU1AQEF to G955U1UEU1AQE3 using this method.
1. Backup your data. I found out the hard way that the ENG_BOOT.tar will reset the phone (I know... noob mistake).
2. Reboot into download mode and use the modified Odin to flash ENG_BOOT_G955U.tar under BL.
(I rebooted after this and went through the setup... Im not sure if you have to, but I know it will work if you do)
3. Reboot back into download mode and flash the G955U1UEU1AQE3 files in their appropriate fields.
(I didn't use the HOME_CSC, and everything seems to work great!)
I take no credit for the existence of these files.
Enjoy!

I think this is just a Engboot. Not a root method with Engboot. Just Engboot.

@Lmax579 @hazmad
There is no root or bootloader unlock, it's just the engineering bootloader. The only useful thing that I have found is that it allows you to flash the G955U1 firmware. It may allow for downgrading, but just attempting what I already did was enough risk for now... Maybe I'll try it at one point.

Right, we don't have the ability to flash zips until BL unlock is achieved.

Yup, I'm taking the progress. Thanks though

So do you have to use the Engineering Kernel to switch firmware versions now?
I thought you could just flash the U1 firmware using the modified Odin if you wanted to.

I couldn't flash anything but my same firmware without it.

It doesn't have carrier bloatware, and enables tethering for other carriers. Possibly quicker updates, because there would be no wait for the carrier to release it, not positive on that tho.

But do you have to use ENGBOOT to flash the Unlocked firmware?
Before the last update you just had to use modified Odin from the other thread.

If i remember right you can flash u1 without engboot

After I flashed the firmware, i no longer had the hurricane symbol but do I still have the features of the engkernel?
