http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...e/downloading-flashing-att-galaxy-s6-t3260744
I was able to upgrade my phone from G890AUCU2AU2AOF4 to G890AUCU3BOJE using ODIN. But I can't upgrade from G890AUCU3BOJE to a newer firmware.
I get the error below when I try to apply this upgrade "SS-G890AUCU3BOJE-to-U3BPB3-UP"
adb like in option 3
Code:

I'm getting the error below
Code:
"/system/SW_Configuration.xml" has unexpected contents
E: Error in /sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)
I have read your link regarding thet status 7 error, but I don't find a solution.
Can you help me ?

Just use smart switch. It is safest and fastest method for upgrading.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer. I have already read the post and try the link (http://www.droidviews.com/fix-status...pdate-or-roms/). I haven't find an answer to my problem.
I have try factory reset and apply all the upgrade without configure anything, I still have the same error.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer.
I can't upgrade my phone using Smart Switch. I don't have an AT&T card and I live outside USA.

Oh, OK.
Messed up CSC configuration causes this error. Try this;
Flash the latest Odin-Flash available FW via Odin. After you've flashed, do factory reset from stock recovery. Then, when the phone boots up, just reboot to bootloader and flash the latest Odin-Flash available FW via Odin again. When the phone boots up, do factory reset from Settings application. After the phone boots up, try to install update via ADB.

My issue is a little different, I have ATT and live in here in the US. Im on android 5.1.1 with build lmy47x G890AUCS3BPDS.
When i try to update using smartswitch but it says my device is up to date. how do i get 6.0.1 to load in this case?

We have to wait until ATT makes it available to get the OTA or update via Smart Switch.
There's another thread in here on how to use Odin and load MM, but it's not the 'official' way.

Hi,
I just test your solution. Unfortunatly, this doesn't solve my problem. Do you know if I can download an ODIN version of the firmware for Android 6 and the Galaxy S6 Active ?

Help.........!!!
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.
**Edit** found answer by searching. (sorry to jump post heheh

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....

localization of 7.0 AT&T
Hi guys. Sorry for possible offtopic, but I have a guestion for people who upgraded to Android 7 on this device:
Is there any changes in localizations list? Can this phone switch to russian language?

I just got a Samsung S6 from AT&T and I am trying to root it. Nothing I've found has worked at all other than these files. I constantly get write errors in Odin and TWRP doesn't install nor does SuperSU. These four files however loaded on without any problems and completely restored the phone back to how I got it. Still no root though. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks in advance.

You cannot install TWRP or root it via flashing SuperSU because the bootloader is locked on at&t model.

I had a feeling that was happening because all steps mention something about OEM unlocking and I wasn't able to do that.
Is this version rootable or am I stuck with this?

From what I'm reading it appears that AT&T's 7.x isn't rootable...
The baseband version I got is G920AUCS7ERC1. Can I downgrade the phone to Android v 6.x and then root or am I totally locked out of this phone and should look to get something different?

You cannot downgrade to previous version. If you want to root phones and install custom roms always buy the internation model (european) with exynos chipset

Thank's for clearing this up for me. I didn't buy this phone, rather I got it as a replacement when I filed an insurance claim, meaning I had no control over what they sent me. What is the main thing I should look for when I get another replacement?

How do I do this? Is there written step by step instructions?

Click on the 'BL' button, then choose the file that starts with "BL" inside your extracted firmware folder. Next, click on the 'AP' button and choose the AP file inside your extracted firmware folder. Click on the 'CP' button, choose the CP file inside your extracted firmware and finally click on the 'CSC' button, choose CSC file inside your extracted firmware and click START

Actually you can downgrade to 6.0.1 and any Revision aka BIT 5 firmware. The reason for this is that the Rev 7 or 7.0 Firmware has the same bootloader firmware as 6.0.1 as long as its BIT 5 aka Rev 5 Firmware you are flashin. Also use Odin 3.13.3 SHAE 256 Fix_ATT_Verizon. PrinceComsy Odin may work as well. But I have done several of these downgrades on G920A with no issues-

Flash this combination file in the AP section in Odin https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1ZHcN_h2mzFjZpnkea5hbJycofIezoeW5
After that the phone should boot up, go to settings and do a factory reset from there.
And now flash this firmware again (G920AUCS7ERC1) and the protection should be removed completely

I Downloaded The Fw From Sammobile, Yes Its Was Very Slow, Thats Why I Re-upped It Untouched To Androidfilehost, Much Faster To Dl For Others.
Only For Snapdragon Variants, Its The Universal Firmware, Its Free Of Carrier Bloat But Has Some Samsung Useless Apps.
Not For Exynos Variants Like The Sm-g935f, Etc.

The Zip Has The Att Extension But All Universal Snapdragon Fw Are The Same Afaik, It Does Not Install Anything Specific For Att,
Im On Telus/koodo Using The Sm-g935a Without Issues, Shows Lte Signal When On Data Mode.
Idk If Auto Updates Work, Although Update Options Are Available From The System Menu
Instructions:
Dl Zip, Extract Zip, Put Phone In Dl/odin Mode. Run Odin As Admin, And Load Each Cp, Ap, Bl And Csc(Dont Use The Home Csc As I Read Its Fracks Things Up), Just Use "Csc_oym" File In Odin
Fyi. I Used Princes Odin But Failed, Used Untouched Odin And It Flashed Successfully. Was On Nougat 7.0 Sim Unlocked SM-G935A At&t Branded Stock Fw. I Included Both For Your Pleasure.

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.

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?

Bro , what will happen if my unlocked at&t s7edge installing this ? Is there sim will be locked again or not ? Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english...

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.

Unable to turn on WiFi Calling on Samsung Note 9, SM-N960U1

Hello all, I was trying to find a way to turn on WiFi calling on my Unlocked Samsun Note 9. I found a couple articles saying that I need to flash the phone for this to be possible? While I have never done this before I'm willing to try but I don't want to screw it up. Could someone help me find the proper version to get my wifi calling back? I don't mind the garbage Verizon installs as long as I could get my Wifi calling.
I found a couple other articles but I was confused and I want to make sure that I install the proper version. As it is in the title, my phone is a SM-N960U1, unlocked running on Verizon currently.
Thanks

Use the SamFirm tool to download load the most recent VZW firmware, then use parched ODIN 3.13.1_3B to flash it to your device. This will wipe your device so make sure you back everything up.

Thanks for the reply. Why use SamFirm instead of Odin? Or perhaps I am not understanding the process?

one downlaods the dirmware.
the other flashes it to your ohone.

SamFirm to download it
ODIN to flash it.
So you actually use both. And. You can download the firmware on different websites, but the SamFirm tool is SO much quicker. That's why I always recommend it. You can find rhr tool and instructions on how to use it with a Google search.
