I tried flashing several custom roms on my Ntelos S6 Edge but all of them were for other models and I can't seem to find one for the SM-G925R7. They boot up and work perfectly except that they don't detect my SIM card. For some reason I also can't find the right firmware to flash it back to stock. If anyone could point me toward a custom rom that would work, the stock firmware, or anything that could help my problem it would be greatly appreciated. Also if I used any incorrect terminology or anything like that please forgive me as I'm not the most knowledgeable in this sort of thing.
How did you root it? I can't find the solution anywhere.
Try roms for Sprint S6 Edge since your carrier is based on CDMA network.
Any GSM rom you flash will not have correct mobile network settings for CDMA.
I have the entire firmware uploading if you still need
what roms have you tried ?

I'm using the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, from US Cellular also a CDMA phone. I have a good root on the phone but haven't been able to find a rom that doesn't brick or bootloop the phone. I'm all backed up ready to go willing to test about anything at this point. SM-G925R4 IS PHONE MODEL SORRY FOR THE TYPO...

Ill have a look around for you mate, but to be honest I've never heard or seen any custom roms for g925r4 model.
What i would do if i was you would be to take the phone to a shop and trade it in for a G925F so many roms for this model

Hi guys. I got my Samsung Galaxy SII on a T-Mobile contract when it first came out. Unfortunately I got into a bit of a dispute with them and left, and am therefore unable to get my unlock code.
So I rooted my phone and unlocked it and the phone worked fine for a few months. Then all of a sudden I lost my signal EVERYWHERE.
So I tried messing around installing a few roms trying to get my phone's signal back. And may have possibly corrupted my EFS also.
I know (using various guides) how to get my EFS and everything back. However I have no idea which rom to choose.
My phone came from T-Mobile, but I am now on a Three contract. So which carrier do I select when getting the stock rom?
Also CSC? Modem? There are several variants of the stock rom it seems and I have no idea which one to pick!
Sorry if I have missed something, this is my first post. I scoured the website for a good 20mins and couldn't find anything that would help with my particular problem.

Phone: Galaxy S2 I9100
Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, just thought I'd update.
Luckily I remembered one of my family has the exact same phone that was on the same contract. So I typed in *#1234# and boom, I had the correct PDA, PHONE and CSC.
Thanks for the links also. Really helped
hi guys, just bought the s6 edge and was wondering which variant the g925L is compatible with? is it the same as the g925F in terms of ROMs and such? im actually tempted in flashing a different stock firmware because i dont like the stock korean apps, will it be okay to do that? thank you
+1 for this
anyone? can i root?
Dear @awitee
1)In case of flashing you can flash it with different country but it must be for your model (in case you dont wont to trip knox and use samsung pay)
2)still no root from chainfire fro your model.
Regards

Hi thanks for the reply.
So does that mean i cant flash the stock G925F firmware on my G925L model? what will happen if i do?
simple, you'll get bootloop that stays pretty much on the Samsung start logo. Or maybe even nothing at all. You could be directed to Download Mode and it could say update fail, please try to update again. This can all be solved by flashing the designated firmware meant for your phone model. So it's basically a soft brick. No biggie. I won't suggest you try to flash a different model-firmware on your phone. But if you're keen in seeing the results, please go ahead. Just make sure you have your model-specific firmware somewhere, and the non-model-specific firmware that you want to try out (obviously).

Yes. It is possible. But what are you trying to gain? TMO is one of the friendliest carriers to Samsung unlocked phones. You already get VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling. VVM is available via Play Store app. That's probably the one carrier where I would never consider flashing branded firmware.
If you really want to do it, just flash U firmware with normal (not HOME) CSC. You can get it from lots of places like SamFirm or the various firmware websites.
Be sure to use the 3B patched 3.13.1 Odin found elsewhere on XDA.
Thanks for the information. I have unbranded my SM-G965U to SM-G965U1.
OK so I have a T-Mobile SM-G965U. I can flash the room and get a different rom on the phone? I though that I had to root the phone in order to install another rom.
Is there a rom that focuses on Tethering my phone data, under the phone datas apn.
One thing I can't figure out, there are so many developers, but there hasn't been a solid app , that can bypass signature checking and use the phone native hotspot feature under the phones data APN not the hotspot APN, so that it hot spot data comes up as phone data.
There has to be someone lol

You certainly don't need root to run a different firmware provided by Samsung for your hardware model. To do anything else, ROM-wise, you do need root. That doesn't exist for this model. Something like hijacking the APN in the manner you describe requires root. Your only hope is an app like PDANet that consumes phone data and provides it through another means like USB tethering. I think they have some support for Wi-Fi as well, but read up on that.
It's been forever since I've been here, missed this place. I am practically a noob now.
Here is my scenario:
I have a Verizon-branded S9+ / SM-G965U on the firmware/baseband G965USQ3BRK2. It is paid off, assured it is carrier unlocked and has also never been modified, pure stock. I'm looking to switch carriers from Verizon to another service. It's also my understanding that Verizon phones are a pain in the hiney and there may be issues with data, features, and other nags and warnings because a non-Verizon SIM is in use. Had an S5 that worked on other carriers but was a nightmare to configure.
Will I be condemned to a similar nightmare of nags and warnings, or will it rebrand it's self and allow me to receive OTA updates on the new carrier? Just not sure of what my options are, the search results yields conflicting information where some had to flash some firmware and others didn't.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
I converted an unlocked Verizon S9+ to an unbranded, unlocked device, using it on T-Mobile and couldn't be happier with it. You have the option of flashing your own carrier's firmware or the factory unlocked, and it will improve your situation, no more SIM card notifications and all that.
P.S. I was in the same situation as you, used to be on here all the time but felt like a noob all over again. But a super helpful member here guided me through the process and it was completely painless, one quick flash with Odin and it was all good.

Welcome. Looks like there's some instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...icial-stock-firmware-thread-samsung-t3764479. However you will want to make sure you find the patched version of Odin to get past the fact that you are flashing a different firmware than is currently on the phone. And you will want to flash G965U or U1 firmware, that also has a 3 as the fifth number from the end, just as the firmware that's already on your phone.

Thanks for your help and for answering the questions.
Is there any benefit to flash U1 or would just U work?
Would the firmware downloaded using SamFirm work with that version of ODIN you linked?
Do I have to go through a rooting process and install TWRP prior to going ODIN on my phone? Or can I just go into download mode on my device, click yeah about a custom OS, then do the ODIN bit?

The U firmwares are those from carriers and the U1 is from the factory unlocked unbranded variant. so it's up to you if you want your carriers own firmware or just a generic Samsung version. If you need Wi-Fi calling and or volte, there might be a better chance of it working with your carriers firmware but the unlocked firmware does a good job with that as well, I have both of those features working perfectly with the U1 firmware and a T-Mobile SIM. Just make sure to use the CSC as opposed to HOME_CSC, so that your phone is fully wiped and configured for your sim card. I will say one advantage of the unlocked U1 firmware is free built-in caller ID ?
No rooting necessary, in fact it's not even possible on the US models, so just boot into Odin and flash the firmware using the patched version of Odin.
Hello, looking for some help to see if anyone can help me find the firmware of my A526U specifically for AT&T? I have moved my phone over from TMobile where I purchased it from, and am looking to re-flash it to AT&T. Was working fine for a few months, now I'm no longer able to make or receive calls.
After inserting the new AT&T SIM card, the TMobile splash screen still shows up. The Service Provider software version reflects TMobile still as well and I'm concerned that for whatever reason the phone did not fully update after inserting the new SIM. I spent 2 hours on the phone with AT&T support after the store said they couldn't help me. Pulled the SIM card out, restarted phone, put it back in, reset network settings etc. I've searched sammobile and I cannot find the AT&T firmware, only TMobile, Sprint, and TMK. I would sincerely be greateful please if anyone could help me by pointing me in the right direction for the firmware for this model phone.
AT&T doesn't make their firmware available publicly - for any device. I have a source who can get me Samsung firmware for any USA device - even AT&T. But he charges me for each one
I appreciate the quick response! Is there any option I have here? Could I try flashing a "U1" firmware to his phone then? He's currently on A526USQS4CVA6. I actually found your other post as I was also working on my note 10 plus - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/n975u-and-n975u1-firmware-links-here.3957648/. If I'm reading that correctly, I should be able to correct? If so, how can I tell if the version I'm downloading is "downgrading the bootloader"

1. Yes, you can try flashing U1 if you want
2. You can't "downgrade the bootloader" - Odin won't let you.
3. In A526USQS4CVA6, "4" is the position of the bootloader level/revision/binary. Make sure that whatever U1 firmware you download also has a 4 in that spot and you'll be fine. (Or just get the firmware from Frija or one of the other similar firmware download tools, because those throw you whatever the newest version is automatically)

Thank you very much sir! I shall give this a go this weekend! You guys rock!
My AT&T N10+ N975U is running on Pie. It transitioned seamlessly with no changes made on my end. It was already using 4G VoLTE though. Same sim card.
I would contact AT&T advanced tech support as there may be an easier way.
4G VoLTE needs to be enabled in hidden settings.

Your AT&T phone? So it's originally an AT&T model that you're still using with them? That's not the same situation that the OP is in

Yup. But OP has a T-Mobile model that they moved to AT&T. There's also no guarantee that a Note 10+ will work the exact same way as an A52. You're also running 3 year old firmware, while OP is fully updated.
So i don't see the correlation.

The old firmware works fine on 4G VoLTE... that's likely not the issue. What is the issue is it wasn't running on 4G VoLTE so it's likely the settings and sim card need updating not the firmware.
Hi All, thought I would provide an update... After spending hours on the phone with AT&T support this week and being frustrated with the AT&T store, I decided to proceed forward with flashing the U1 version. What started this all was last week my son could no longer make or receive calls on his AT&T A52 phone (we ported it from TMobile September 2021). The store and AT&T advanced tech support said there were issues with people's BYOD devices, even though the A526U and A526U1 shows on the supported devices list. The store rep said he's been getting people in left and right that can't make or receive calls, and all they can do is upsell customers to an AT&T branded phone.
SO... my son's phone was on A526USQS4CVA6. Startup screen showed TMobile still, even with the AT&T SIM card in it. I proceed to flash the A526U1OYM4CVB2_ATT that I found from Sammobile. Was hoping someone had just the "U" version but I couldn't find this anywhere. When doing the flash, I used the Home_CSC file (I had to download a patched version of ODIN as it was stuck as setting up connection) and when it finished it would just keep going back to the download screen on the phone and I freaked out. I did some more research and decided to flash again using CSC instead of Home.CSC (I did a backup using smart switch on my PC luckily). This WORKED! I'm guessing because the software version he was on was different than what I was trying to flash too so maybe this is why I needed the CSC for a clean flash (there was no user data file that downloaded from SAMMOBILE).
Now, calls are working on my son's phone again! AND his service provider software version now reflects ATT vs TMB! Man this has been one heck of a journey lol. I've seen numerous forums on google of people having the same trouble with me, their BYOD devices not working. Seems a flash of U1 worked for me, so hopefully this helps others out there!
