I have heard of a website called cect-shop, and they are selling this device with the option for an international firmware with Google Play Store. I saw this website on a review for this phone on another website, and the review said that it worked fine with no bugs. Just thought I'd check before I buy. Has anyone experienced this website before?
Thanks in advance,
Nathan.
Beware: This is not official NUBIA international ROM!
I have bought the device from them.
Their international ROM is international and has Google apps in it, BUT it will not do OTA:
Unless they have changed the ROM (which I doubt) you are stuck at V2.39 and we already have
V3.09.
They told when asked that they would tell me when a "real" international will become available.
They would not take the phone back, since their rules only allow for this if the phone is bad.
So I have to admit that I feel fooled by them (all the other sellers do the same).
I have worked with the phone and have installed several other ROMs mentioned in this forum.
But am still waiting for a real international ROM.

Sorry, officially we are at V3.06!
So what does v3.06 have and v2.39 doesn't?
To be honest I do not know.
I assume it just 3 months "better", more stable, better translations, etc.
Thanks for the quick reply, what is the best way to install Google apps and also retain OTA updates?

1. Flash twrp
2. Flash official Rom
3. Install full gapps
4. Flash Standard recovery (to replace TWRP)
(to prevent reboot in into TWRP after an Ota update)
I have to admit I have not tried #4 myself

I just installed CP and BL files for G930T QE1 and AP and CSC files from here,
Rooted with mix of Goodroot by @Quickvic30 and Nougat_S7_Root_2_82_All_Carriers_V1.zip by @jrkruse (used supersu from v1.zip and root script from goodroot, edited root script lines to point to 2.82 apk), installed kernel auditor and set both cpu govenors to ONDEMAND, WOWWW, MY PHONE is completely **** free, rooted, faster than ever, no more lagging whatsoever, and just feeling so great of a device that I always knew it is but never felt by its performance.
Thanks @muniz_ri, He has always posted many firmwares that I used, I just was in process of upgrading my S7 yesterday, didnt see this updates posted by him and had to wait 4+ hours to get it from SamMobile, so I just uploaded to mega myself, hope it helps anyone.

I'm a nood to this, I want to use whatsapp+ however 930u has the default whatsapp installed and I can't install plus. Is there a way to remove it from the system? Thanks in advance for the assist
The BL and CP link provided is already the TMO version of the modem. No need to find an flash TMO modem separately for VOLTE, 4x4mimo, etc to work ? I am not looking to root. Just want to have a bloat free firmware.

Question: how do I de-bloat this sucker? I don't like all of these samsung apps on here...
I have not receive my S7 yet, waiting for them to ship to me. I am curious how did it go with you. Are you able to use Radio, VOLTE, wifi calling, mimo, etc. In regard to the Samsung Bloat, the only way is to root and uninstall. How's the performance and battery wise. Thanks for your feedback. . Hope to get my phone by next week.
OK, to clear some things up,
THIS IS OFFICIAL SAMSUNG.
I believe it does not trip knox if you are not planning to modify system. If you are please follow root guides.
BL and CP are from G930U, in my case I just flashed them and they are working more than good enough for my purposes, but if you prefer TMO ones, please grab them from https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...ware-g930t-qe1-android-7-0-5-27-2018-t3613122 thread by muniz and thank him for uploading them.
about usage: Battery life is excellent, however I am rooted so I had to flash engineering boot image, Which of course makes phone lag, but I took care of lag using Kernelauditor and setting CPU to ondemand. I let kernelauditor do its thing whenever I restart phone by leaving it alone for 2-3 minutes. after that I can not see any difference in performance of Stock 930U and rooted 930U. Adfree is a MUST for me so I love root. Try that and decide for yourself, Oh I love samsung feature that puts background apps to sleep. I think it has given huge battery boost and I go thru day with moderate usage easily.

If you want stock android experience, I did it on my galaxy s7edge, flashed the custom ROM from FlashFire. Please refer to this thread for more info: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/development/rom-t3572739
It totally worked for me and I am not going back, but I dont think that rom is available for S7, wouldn't hurt requesting if you really want it.
@nanunoran .....TY for clarifying the files. and ty for providing the link to the TMO modem.
Hello everyone, I am using G930T and already converted to G930U running QC1 (April 1. 2017) version of 7.1. What is the easiest way to update to QD2 with baseband ending in QC1? I prefer not having to re-install all apps and loose data as I have no root. Checking for updates doesn't bring up the notification that update is available for download/install. Thank You for your help.

Here is what i would do
1. Download matching G930U CP file from one of threads in this forum and odin it. So all of your firmware parts are now matched. You cannot get OTA update if firmware is hybrid.
2. Do OTA to update your G930U firmware to the latest one.
3. Then odin latest G930T CP file from another threads here in the forum.
Dont forget to wipe cache to avoid problems or issues.
Before you do everything above, i would say wait a day or two since another G930U is soon to be out anytime now. Check sammobile.
Hope above helps.

Fingerprint work for me.
Anyone having issue with samsung pay?
I did what the origin author did but without root (at least not yet).
Flash:
G930T QE1 for CP and BL files (CP_G930TUVS4BQE1 and BL_G930TUVS4BQE1)
G930T QE2 for AP and CSC (AP_G930UUEU4BQE2 and CSC_OYM_G930UOYM4BQE2)
I follow the instruction and able to flash U version with no issue. I have been using it since. I also flash the TMO version of the CP files and I am able to get VoLTE and WIFI calling. I did not experience any fingerprint issue or samsung pay issue.. However, My problem is that the U version camera does not have the shutter sound options to turn off. The Tmobile version have that option within the camera settings. Can I somehow get the TMO version of the camera app and odin it or sideload it. If so, where can I get it.
And to be quite honest, the TMO version doesn't really have that much bloatware in compare. Just a few TMO apps. Trust me, I use to be with ATT and their phones are bloat cancer.
@vinberry,
Which BL did you flash? Can you posh all the version of each file you flash with? thanks.
@gundamdx. I flashed the U version of BL, AP, CSC files as provided by @nanunoran and flashed the TMO version of the CP file. I have no problem with SPay. Also, if you are looking to unlock you sim, you need to do it while you are still in tmobile firmware and use their unlock app. The app doesn't work in the U firmware. It will indicated something like device not qualify to unlock. remember what I mentioned about the camera shutter sound if that's something that would bother you.

If you love that feature...check this out. This is the most current version that can be installed on our API 24 from apkmirror. When you install this on top of the existing device maintenance feature, it allows you to completely put just about any user app to sleep for good! It adds another section under "Battery" called "Always sleeping apps".
Description: "Select apps that will be put to sleep immediately when they aren't being used. Always sleeping apps will never run in the background. They may not receive updates or send you notifications"

Will it work on the galaxy s7 model from cricket wireless, It's the model SM-G930AZ
I really want to install other firmware because cricket just tales too long with the updates of software
Ok, i bought this phone recently and i just realized that is a new smartphone from Samsung..i searched everywhere but seems that there is no TWRP or ROOT for this model SM-J701MZDNZTO... will there ever be one?There is a bunch of good apps that doesnt work without root that i miss from my previous smartphone.....
Thanks
I tried to install the J701F TWRP for a while it work but was unstable...ended up having to reflesh to original stock rom... it sucks having a android phone that doesnt have root ...
Same problem u.u
Any prediction to access the root of the galaxy j7 neo?
Im waiting for it too!
Did you find any solution? To root j701m
anyone found anything?
Something to try?
Don't know guys, for sure this device doesn't have a custom ROM ...Yet! I hope but if you have an unlocked bootloader(and if you don't, as I did, there's still hope) it can still be rooted, I used this method here to root:
https://unofficialtwrp.com/root-twrp-galaxy-j7-neo-sm-j701m/
I used it on my device (SM-J701M) and it worked, the TWRP version is unofficial (It's supposed to be compatible with J7 core, J7 neo & J7 nxt models) and a bit buggy but it's better than nothing, and you'll get root, so if it helps kudos to you all.
A word of caution: make a backup, it's pretty easy with SmartSwitch
For those who may have a locked bootloader after the Oreo update as I did, you can reinstall/flash your firmware from SamMobile (https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-j7-neo/firmware/#SM-J701M), using Odin, in most cases, the security patch is not upgraded yet and the firmware version still has the option to unlock bootloader in Developer Options.
You will have to create an account, and you must be specific with your device's carrier, take a note of your baseband version as that will give you an idea of the firmware you will download. I've also successfully upgraded to Pie. Hope this helps, Good Luck.

Hi!
I just received my Nokia 6 TA-1054 yesterday. Unfortunately turning it on, it has a 7.1.1 on, with a patch from 2017-Nov-6. No update since.
Tried several method to get the OTA going, like factory resetting and wiping the google services framework cache after startup and checking. Tried VPNs different regions. Alao tried with and without simcards, before and after a factory reset. I did not tried an other carrier sim yet, but it did not get an update before I inserted my SIM so I'm not full of hope here.
My question is: Can I check if I have the original rom or had the shop installed some other firmware that would break the OTA?
Thanks for any suggestion, cheers!
Maybe I'm just thinking for myself here, but I figured if the device came with Play Store preinstalled, it ahould be some custom rom isn't it?
By the way Nokia support said the device should bbare an original ROM. They needed the IMEI1 to check. Can they know from the IMEI number alone?
Same problem

I have the same problem with my phone. I purchased it in China without knowing that it's a customized ROM. I want to receive OTA updates. Any suggestion?
Well, I sent mine back to the local vendor, because laws in Hungary allow me to do that, and puchased a gloval version from amazon.de.
The main reason to do this was that the china variant is not in the android one program.
As a solution, because global version started to roll out, if you can't switch the phone, I'd just wait until someone dumps their rom, and would try to flash that.

The bootloader is unlocked and I have booted into a couple of versions of twrp but they're all really unstable and they end up causing my phone to boot loop when I try to flash something/reboot. Has anyone else had any luck with this phone?

Hello,
So I recently rooted and installed a rom on my Galaxy S8 (extreme syndicate method). But I wanted to unroot and go back to stock so I downloaded a firmware from sammobile and flashed it using odin (I only added the BL, AP, and CP files during flash) and now it gets stuck on the samsung logo at boot. Can't enter recovery (can enter download mode).
So I think I'm not downloading the correct firmware for my phone from sammobile maybe? I have tried 4 different firmwares (2x android 9.0 firmwares - gives the stuck on samsung logo issue and 2x android 7.0 firmwares fail to flash correctly in Odin)
How do I know the right PDA or CSC version numbers for my phone without being able to get into it? I'm in Australia and it's a SM-G950U however not sure of the origins of the phone (could be an import, not sure).
Or any other things I could try to get it back to stock?
Thanks!
Well you need to go to about phone and look at build number. And when you flash the firmware flash csc. You rooted and dont know what build number you have? The firmware you flash has to be on the same bootloader of the current firmware you have

Thanks for your reply.
So I followed the instructions here to root forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/development/root-t4060701 flashing the G950USQU7ASK1 firmware and worked fine.. I am unsure of the stock firmware/build number for this phone though. I can't find any compatible firmware on sammobile either.

I suggest getting your Stock ROM not from xda, but from Sammobile. To find your ROM on Sammobile, you need your phone model. You can find your phone model in Settings -> About phone. It's called "Model number". Then, use that to find your ROM on Sammobile.
The reason why your flash didn't work, is because you may have left out "CSC".
---------- Post added at 06:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------
It's me again. So this is the page for your exact model: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s8/firmware/#SM-G950U
But it only seems to have ROMs for USA.
However this other version of the S8 does: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s8/firmware/SM-G950F/XSA/
I suggest using the latter link. It's for a S8 from a different market, but it'll work regardless.

---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 PM ----------
If you used extreme syndicate method you are on or near the latest firmware. Despite being 7.0 you are still on the latest. So its gonna be a bit 7 firmware. 5th digit from the far right end. Will be a 1 through 7. You need any firmware with a 7.

If your on windows. Google and download frija its fast and quick for latest firmware. So much better than Sam mobile or any site.

Dude, I know. I mentioned it in the reply.
That ROM will work on their device anyway, and it has the latest security update.
