THIS IS FOR SAMSUNG GALAXY J7 METRO PCS VERSION. DO NOT FLASH ON OTHER VARIANTS.
If you have messed up your system while trying to root and need J700T1UVU3AQC3 firmware to recover, or if you just need to upgrade to the latest firmware, here is the official unmodified Rom:
Download link:
https://mega.nz/#!ltcgwYLZ!R0n3FyaDUCtY8yiMrppFpbxNaSHnjiSUZSMQiU_o-kk
1- The firmware is on Mega servers. Please use a PC to download. If you have to use your mobile device to download, use the Mega app or set your browser to "desktop".
2- The firmware files are zipped. They should be unzipped and flashed via Odin.
3- This version upgrades the bootloader version to 3 and therefore downgrading to previous versions becomes impossible. So if you are happy with your current firmware and you think you may change your mind after the upgrade, stay away from this.
3- Rooting this firmware is possible through flashing TWRP via Odin and then superSU via TWRP. As I am sure you are well aware, that process will trip your Knox flag and renders your warranty void.
4- As usual, I share this with you AS IS and I have no responsibility if it breaks your phone. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I was having network problems..calls kept disconnecting and phone would freeze. I restored my twrp backup with no issues.

Are the TMo and Metro devices interchangeable yet? In other words a Tmo sim in a Metropcs phone and vice versa?

The EFS stuff really scares me when it comes to flashing. With that said. Where can i download the latest rom for metropcs. Sammobile only appears to have T-Mobile from the last time i checked. Does not hurt to have it at hand just in case.

Hey guys. Are any of you experiencing random reboots on the latest firmware? My phone randomly reboots for no reason. It has done this several times and the 2 times i can remember was 1. Phone rebooted when i was connecting to wifi. 2. It also did a reboot while in a middle of a game. What gives?

The metro qc3 works nice in the T-Mobile and does not harm it any way, I did mine , no problem
Rooting is a problem with this security 3 since no TWRP is working with this version yet. But there is a eng root boot.img out which does the job, they charge 50 USD for this file.

I have t mobile.i flashed this firmware once with flash fire, and then once with odin.lost my efs both times. I had someone send me the t mobile one and it was fine, I flashed the same twrp and it was like normal. I don't know if someone uploaded a different version of twrp or what, but the ones that have been on xda for the past 8 months do the job fine. I switch between the twrp for the j7, then the j700T specific twrp. I don't run stock, but all the roms I run with this twrp and all 3 kernels I use in development I also root through these recoveries.
@ Droid, what ROM are you running?
My Tmobile j700t qc3 had no issues when using j700t1 qc3 all was good. But twrp not working with qc3. Maybe yours was different firmware. But looking at other Samsung Tmobile and Metro pcs I never had an issue cross flashing them. Maybe you used not compatible firmware when you Lost efs , usually that happens when using lower bit or wrong modem file.

Question: if I am on kitkat 4.4.4 it would not be wise to install these lollipop 5+ modems/ bootloaders correct?

If you are on Stock Touchwiz 4.4.4 you will need to flash a 5.1.1 ROM in order to use the newer modems and bootloaders. IMEI number can be lost if something happens to the EFS partition. You could try to flash a stock firmware for your device model and your region; a factory reset may also be helpful, though my guess is that there isn't much that can be done unless you have a back up of the EFS partition which you can restore.

appreciate the very fast reply. thank you.
I am hesitant to upgrade to 5 as i am not sure if i can return to 4 if need be or if it may be easier to fix this mess in 4 perhaps.
I wonder if its possible to use some1 else backup and then change the imei parameters in the efs folders. at least then all i have to worry about is getting an imei changed back to my own. i doubt its that simple tho of course. :s its been a long day.
Im still unrooted (shame)... if i flash this stock modems with Odin, does that gonna trigger my Knox?

If you haven't triggered your KNOX counter then you will have to flash an entire firmware because the modems and bootloaders require the ROM to be of the same firmware.
Hi @Battlehero
most current modem and bootloader for CM13 pls ?
After flashing these, I lost voice roaming however roaming data is available. My carrier label is as No Service. All is normal when not roaming though. Any ideas?

This may be dependent on what ROM you are currently running. The files I provide are unmodified as I have simply extracted them from the Odin flashable firmware.

Can I install N920C stock ROM on AT&T N920A mobile
I would like to know if it is possible to install one model's stock ROM on another without any problem.
I have an AT&T SM-N920A mobile which is rooted on lollipop. So I am not getting any OTA updates. If I install N920A Marshmallow stock ROM, it will carrier lock my device which I don't want as I am living in middle east.
Need advice from all the techies around here...

Fw package is just short for firmware package and here it is in a nutshell, i believe at&t has locked bootloader, that being the case you can't flash a custom recovery like twrp to allow you to flash the rom only, which means you're sick with two options 1)anything Odin-flashable or (maybe)2. Adb push if you turn on USB debugging....that said, you don't sound like someone comfortable with using Linux to connect via adb and run command line terminal commands to push files and set permissions, not to mention some things will require root- so I'm gonna say, really, your only option is Odin, so unless you can find a full set of PIT files and are competent recovering from Odin errors and repartitioning your device i wouldn't even recommend that...anything short of that, or a factory supplied repair bootloader isn't going to allow odin to flash firmware for another device variant (eg A to C)...and even the repartitioning trick is hit or miss, I've seen successes and failures, but one thing for sure, 2 things for certain- you need to be capable of recovering from odin flash errors and possibly even corrupt partitions before attempting any of this...i would sell my device and buy a variant of your choosing before i bricked it...unless you're comfortable taking a LOT of time to read for about 3 months and flash after new years when everything I've just said fits together like puzzle pieces.....fwiw...

If I'm wrong and you have an unlocked bootloader than just flash latest supersu in odin then latest twrp, reboot to recovery with the button combo, and use twrp to flash whatever rom-only or rom/kernal package you want...flashing in recovery doesn't touch (usually) your bootloader or modem (ril) layers (partitions) like a factory odin full firmware does....this is why it's often necessary to upgrade by odin before flashing certain roms you'll find on xda...anytime the bootloader has to be updated (and that's usually any new factory firmware "base" to be released) out takes an odin flash to do it...then reroot, install twrp again, etc etc...

Can jump from version G925AUCS5DPK5 to this version ? when flash is stuck in odin, is there any way to do it, stays in file analysis for a long time but does not load, any idea how to fix it?:crying:
Here's everything I've tried
1) Change USB port
2) Administrator mode
4) Rebooted phone
5) rebooted computer
...... any other idea ?
Does this require a phone to be on a specific version before flashing? Just want to be sure everything is good to go before moving forward.

Now it´s working, I unzip all 4 files to md5, and then load the ROM successfully, but it stuck on black screen for about 30 min and never started, I had to go down to the previous version now with imei corrupt and now my cell phone no longer has signal, I do not know what went wrong or where I was wrong?
I flash this files in my g925aucu4dph5 phone, I will upgrade to nougat? What about ADB files? Do you have a video tutorial to this process?
just received my g925a 128GB version, currently has the build number LMY47X.G925AUCU3BOJ7, can i use Odin 3.10.6 and just flash this on it after zipping all 4 files down to md5? (bl, ap, cp, csc)??/
I'mgoing to assume it will not b rootabe after this? If so, to what firmware can i. should i update to so that I may root as flash some other ROM? What I really want to accomplish is just rid myself of all the AT&T bloat, as I do not use AT&T.......and would like to be a more newer version of android then 5.1.1
excuse of it seems nubish, but been using OnePlus One for 3 years now, and stumbled upon getting this phone on a great deal on getting this phone for $240.....so new to the samsung scene, but not to the rooting/bootloading unlocking flashing scene....
Also saw that another poster lost his storage flashing odin....something not cool on a 128gb device and another lost his imei....not cool either
Thanks for the update! Worked beautifully. Now waiting for may update.
Once you load these are we supposed to get updates from ATT? I ask b/c when I hit update it never finds anything and I don't have the most current OS I have the previous to current using these methods to update
has anybody done this without losing original storage or imei??? have a 128GB att edge and would not want this error to occur on mine...still in 5.1.1 build OJ7....

Hi Vincom, yes i have already read the article. the main reason im flashing the rom is because of the hidden DATA icon in the toggle screen. and also i want my phone to have the OREO update as well. this is my first samsung phone. i have experience in flashing ROMs in my xiaomi redmi 1s phone. so im a bit skeptical if i can do this on my own. this odin process is very new to me. so what is the worst thing that can happen it i brick my phone? can i do a hard reset and will it default to the stock AT&T ROM if ever?

yes and no, csc controls what bloatware and which settings are setup by default dependant on carrier and country, hence why this is a universal fw and not dependant on original csc files.
if u truly have the att s7edge g935a, which is what i had, then yes.

yes and no, csc controls what bloatware and which settings are setup by default dependant on carrier and country, hence why this is a universal fw and not dependant on original csc files.

i finally finished downloading the zip file earlier. i will flash it later after i go home from work. and one other thing i need to make sure. with this Oreo rom, the DATA connection icon will be available in the toggle screen right?
@vincom, this Oreo rom has already the DATA icon to be toggled on/off right? this is one of the reason i want to flash the att rom as well.

I did read all of it but your description was vague on the att part so I didnt know if you modified it which it sounds like its just the 935u firmware and Im not a newb n00b
@vincom, initially got an error sha256 when i started to flash it. and my phone started to boot loop after i use a different odin, the prince odin. but after some searching. i fount out i just need to use the newer patch version of odin - Odin3 v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD and now im running Oreo on my s7 edge. hopefully this can help others too.

yup i tried that one the first time. thats when it gave me the error message sha256. then i tried the prince odin that gave me the error mmc something.
The author claims performance and battery improvements but has anyone that switched over really noticed that big of a improvement?
I mean i already disabled all the carrier bloat with adhell isn't that basically the same as installing this rom? Does the universal maybe have a different kernal/different system level tweaks?

will not change your current sim lock status, no fw exists that would change it
Thanks
Thanks a lot, this firmware works for me with the 3b patched odin on the first try.
Before I start, I apologize and I know this shouldn't be in the Q&A Thread but I am a new user and unable to post it in the other thread
So I recently purchased a Galaxy S10 from Best Buy and I noticed I didn't have Advanced Call features such as Wifi-Calling and Video Calling. When I had asked about this, it turns out that I had purchased the unlocked S10 and had them set it up with my provider as Verizon.
I have been reading some posts by iBowToAndroid and I am wondering if I would be able to flash my phone into being locked with Verizon and get the Advanced Calling features without losing anything on my phone currently.
I already have the G973U firmware files from iBowToAndroid's post as well as the Verizon USERDATA file. I also tried setting up Samsung USB Drivers but the install failed. I'm not sure if this is necessary as I am still very new to this whole thing.
If this is possible, what version of Odin should I be downloading?
Is there anything else that I would need?
I'm using v3.13.3 and it's working perfectly fine.

I've always used that same version and the patched one.

I've been trying to use that as well but it fails every time before it is able to download anything.
Not sure if I am doing something wrong but I have all the files necessary for it

I had this happen as well...then got a firmware image (from sammobile) with a later date than the firmware that was on my phone already. Flashing that newer firmware image was successful the first time through. Although in my case I was flashing back from T-Mobile firmware to unlocked firmware, same idea. I think that it might have been related to needing a newer boot version or something, but until I got the later version of unlocked firmware, the flash would fail reliably at abl.elf, before it got rolling.
And the version of Odin that worked for me was the patched Odin3_v3.13.1_3B. Didn't try the unpatched version.
