Update (PH7) - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

I updated to PH7 to see what would happen. After update I try to root with success but after set up a pop up notification said Samsung has detected your device is rooted.
I got no activating reboot loop it just didn't active me at all, not even manually .
So I flash a stocked PG1 and staying stock until a good rom arrives. I edit my APN at lease i got tethering.
I tried the Echoe Rom but I got stuck on splash screen.

Thanks for sharing your findings. I was tempted to try it, but I'll hold off.

Yes sir.. your welcome. PH7 detects your rooted and will not activate your phone.

I also got stuck on the splash screen after flashing Echoe. I am on PF2.

I hope they fix Echoe...

You try the ##72786# trick to get your number associated with your SIM card? I had to do that when I rooted and couldn't activate, ended up activating after doing the ## and rebooting. Though it wasn't the update you're talking about, and I didn't get the "your device is rooted" and notification. Anyways, thanks for the heads up.

Anyone have an odin flashable PH7? I tried to OTA update and it fails. I even tried factory reset / reflash PG1 and OTA still fails.

I checked at Samsung-Firmware.org and PH7 is not up yet. Did you extracted PG1 zip into a folder and added to each slot in Odin?
BL AP CP CSC the last slot is HOME_CSC not CSC_SPT . Try PF2 or PE1

Whoops, no, I didn't do HOME_CSC .. will try that now, thanks.
EDIT: Awesome, the OTA worked after that.

You can download PH7 here but you need to register it free

I tried twice and activation didn't stick no success

Same here, I tried a lot of different things and could never get the activation to stick while it was rooted. Ended up going back down to PG1 so I could keep it rooted.

IDK why anyone would want to update to PH7 It wont activate your phone. PG1 is working perfect

I was previously rooted and flashed via ODIN back to stock PG1, and everytime I try to OTA Update to PH7 and it fails at 32% during the update. I think it knows some how that I was previous rooted or some ****. I'm going to have to flash the PH7 via ODIN if I want to update, but I'm sure it'll reset my entire phone, unlike the OTA... RIP

can't boot phone

Hi, I started a thread needing help with my wifi but it has developed into not even being able to boot at all; it stops at the galaxy logo and either freezes or keeps booting. I have gone to the Odin page with all the different things to do and flashed the file to get back to the original rom but that is really where the trouble began. right now the only thing I can do with my phone is get into download mode, I can't even get into recovery. I have flashed a pit file that worked the first time but I don't know if that is part of the problem or not. Can someone please give me some directions, thanks
Also the phone won't boot at all unless hooked up to a power supply, the battery alone doesn't do anything.

More info is needed. What firmware / bootloader are you on? Was it rooted? Did you have a custom recovery installed? What version of ODIN are you using?

Right now, it sounds like you might need to use enewman17's ODIN debrick file.

It is the AT&T s4. To be honest I don't know what firmware I am on, it is the one the Odin page said to use if you want to go back to stock. I never rooted it. The bootloader would be whatever the latest update was for this phone. I can't get into it to tell you anymore. I am using ODIN 10, the latest one. thanks
Well I finally got into recovery and did a factory reset, now it boots into the AT&T white splash screen before it just turns off. I am also wondering if my battery just died for some reason?

ODIN 10? Try using ODIN 3.09 and see if that helps. The latest update would be Android 4.4.4 NJ4 firmware. This link should help you, it will give you root with safe strap recovery though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/guide-odin-to-stock-updating-rooting-t2926642

Check out the link I posted in my last post. It should help you get your phone fixed.
I have been there. I went to the very last option which seems to be what I need unless I am missing something.
Neither odin 3.09 or 3.10 will even flash any file now. it either says invalid md5 or fails when it attempts it.
Well, I finally got it to boot into android but it is flaky at best. It is android 4.3 instead of 4.4 where it was initially. The wifi still doesn't work and now the keyboard keeps crashing everytime I do something. The build is jss15j1337ucuemk2 which I know is older than I had before. Does this give anyone a better idea of what I need to do? If I can get a stable flash then can I flash a modem file to fix the wifi? I really need some direction, thanks
Turns out the battery was completely drained which was causing some of the boot problems, I don't now how that happened but I am charging it now.
Well after using odin 3.8* I got it to install some older firmware ending in mk2 rather than the nc1 or nf4 that I had before the trouble. After I got it to boot, I went back into download mode and flashed the modem file and now everything works execpt I had to force stop Samsung keyboard and use swype. I would like to upgrade my firmware but since for a couple of more weeks it won't have a sim card I can't upgrade OTA. For some reason Kies says that firmware upgrade and initialization isn't supported with this model which makes no sense to me. It also says my firmware is up to date
Does anyone know how to flash to the latest firmware without me going through this nightmare again? thanks

If I were in your shoes I'd flash the nb1 tar file in Odin, any vein should work. See this for the tar file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56453100. You can then ota to the latest firmware which is 4.4.4, nj4

I agree. But google has basically all he needs. More so rapidgator
I haven't found anything from Samsung to download. If I flash a newer build, do I also need to flash a modem file and a bootloader or can I just flash the PDA? thanks for explaining this to me.
And can I do a dirty flash so I don't have to lose everything again?
well, now I see that there is no sound. so I guess I will have to flash again.

There's. Something I'm yet to understand. Did you finally manage to boot into recovery? If so, flash a custom recovery (I recommend philz touch recovery) then use it to make complete wipe.
Then boot into download mode and flash latest pda firmware in the compressed file you downloaded. Ps: make sure it's from your region.
May be if you provided me with your region I'd get you all the files required

Just got n910t november n910tuvs2epk2 ota update in 60mb

Just got November ota update in 60mb i am just curious to know if it is gonna lock the bootloader.
UPDATE-/ BOOTLOADER STILL UNLOCKED I TESTED & DOWNGRADED TO 5.1.1 OK1 .
I just received it as well. I use my phone for work so it's encrypted but could you try to downgrade and let's us know what happened
Yes, you can still downgrade to 4.4.4 with the new update
This update should give me enough time to read the details of the update before it reboots my phone in the 25 seconds. At that point, we don't have the ability to "abort" or decline the agreement anyway.
Note 4 tmo, downloads the 60mb update, phone enters recovery mode then i get "update failed phone will recover the original configuration" .
I'm full stock, no root, no custom recovery no nothing. Anyone could help me?
I'd recommend you use the desktop version of ODIN with the latest FULL ROM to restore your device (without wiping) to the version before the OTA update. You can then try the update process again.

I encountered the same error last night. I held POWER + VOLUME DOWN to boot into Recovery mode, then I rebooted to System. My phone went through the app optimization process (you know, the screen that you'd see after wiping the Cache/Dalvik Cache).
I assumed that the update failed, but when I checked "About Device," I noticed that it now has the November 1, 2016 security patch (Baseband Version N910TUVS2EPK2).

Stock Android N

So I see a few threads about this being released already and on the dev section for N ROMs, I see that you need to have already flashed the stock Android N ROM before flashing the dev ROMs through TWRP.
I've checked Sam Firmware and cannot see an N based ROM for the S7 Edge on there.... Am I missing something?
Also, if I manage to find a download for an N based stock ROM, what are the options to use in Odin?
I've flashed many ROMs in Odin, so should know this, but I always like to be 100% clear, so as to save myself a headache!
you could... download the last BTU mm firmware. then update via ota will pop out directly after you finish setting up your device.

In Spain, PHE, we don't have it.
I can confirm flashing BTU will give you Nougat OTA straight away

The I needed to unroot my phone and tried following the unroot method on that thread. But I got an error with odin saying "FAIL! (AUTH)" and thought it was the version I was using. So i tried downloading a few different versions and tried the latest update for the s7 and it failed which boot looped my phone. And if i hold power + Volume Up + Home it says recovery booting.... and keeps doing that over and over. so that doesnt work. All i want to do at this point is get my phone unboot looped and unrooted If anybody can help. please do. BTW i have the SM-G930V

new update - BRA5

New update last night. Security patch to January 2018. Still 7.1.1. Camera update. Quick install, no issues so far. I'm not rooted so no idea on impacts to root.

It has a new bootloader which will block the ability to odin flash images from other carriers or the unlocked images on the US devices. So no more Verizon version using the unlocked firmware.

Has anyone been able to pull a Verizon ODIN file for the Note 8 from SamFirm??? I can't get any SM-N950U file with a VZW region.
Im curious too. If I flash the BRA8 from the BRA5 (which I'm on) will I have network issues. I believe the BRA8 is for ATT/TMO no?
I can't decide if I should update at the risk of losing out on being able to try the Unlocked firmware for my phone. hmmm
I just tried to odin the BRA8 so that I could apply the Oreo update and it Odin'd fine but it got to 32 percent on the phone during reboot and gave me an error code. Tried to Odin again and the same result. Rebooted phone just fine though.
Update: decided to install the update.zip and it worked. Oreo works great.

It was from here. https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-s8-note8-android-oreo-february-security-patches/
Only select BL, AP, CP. I did get an error during reboot but everything seems fine. Then I installed the update.
Update 2: life focus is very choppy and slow. Strange because the rest of the phone feels buttery smooth.

Any updates? I tried to Odin the BRA8 and got a fail as well. Then tried to install the update and got a fail there too. If you have had success...let us know. Thanks!

I updated on Monday afternoon. It went without a hitch. My phone DID NOT reset all data, I do not know if I got lucky or what.
I just followed the instructions and put the update on my card.
Everything is working good. Sometimes i get a message that some app like the phone may not work due to compatibility issues but they always work.
I am looking forward to the release because I really like some of the changes.
Peace

We're you on the BRA5 build?
I installed the 3BRA5 VZW ROM via Odin then Odin'ed the 3BRA8 AP, BL & CP files without reboot & installed update.zip via recovery. Now MMS texts won't send.
Anyone else have this problem??
I took the OTA from verizon then I tried this Update to Oreo.
did you do the cscs file? If I remember correctly there were 4 files to flash.
/
I got it to work for me. I downloaded the newest version of Odin v3.12.7 and started the installation of the BRA8 software. It did the installation up to 32% and failed. I then applied the update.zip and it went through with no problems. We'll see how she goes from here on out.

None of my phone was reset either which was kind of nice. No need to do a factory reset if you dont want to. Again, my steps:
ONLY select BL, AP, CP. I did get an error during reboot around 32% but everything seems fine upon start up. Then I reboot into recovery and installed the update from the SD card. Everything is great with the exception of live focus...little choppy.
I did all 4 files from the BRA8 firmware. It tried to install and got to 32% before fail. My phone actually booted directly into recovery mode and I selected the update.zip file. It took a little while to process, but when the phone rebooted...BANK!!! So far so good. Haven't checked out live focus yet.
FYI: I did a factory data reset this morning and now the phone seems to be running much smoother. It also seemed to be draining the battery a bit faster after the upgrade. Since the reset it seems to be better now. I'll keep you posted in case anything crazy/weird happens...but so far so good.
Newer Version CRB3
Someone posted that there was a newer version of this firmware over at samsung.firmware.science. It is build CRB3. If you try to simply flash the update.zip it will fail. You will need to use the BRA8 files (BL, AP, CP, CSC) to downgrade. Here are my steps for those interested: 1)download CRB3 firmware and put it on your SD card, 2)use odin to downgrade to BRA8 (I used Odin 3.12.7), 3)get the 32% installation failure on the blue screen, 4)wait...the phone will boot into the recovery mode, 5)use the menu to install update.zip from sd card, 6)wait til it finishes and BANK!!! I'm on the newer version as we speak. Not sure of the differences yet, but some have reported linking to android wear devices was sketchy on CRB1 but not so much on this build. Give it a whirl!!!
My Verizon Nte 8 is showing N950USQU3CRB5. Works great. No more rooting for me.
