Samsung Galaxy A7 - AF00FD -showing signal with no sim - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I just flashed a new rom to Galaxy A7 model A700FD because of bootloop issue after uninstalling SuperSU, the previous android version was still kitkat 4.4, and updated it to 5.0.2 lollipop version now.
I haven't tested yet if everything is working, but it makes me wonder why it is showing carrier signal even though there is no SIM attached to it. Is this normal? or do I need to flash/modify anything?
I did factory reset and wipe partition after flashing the new ROM.
This is Galaxy A7 2016 version.

A 2015 Series to Get Nougat Update

2016 series would be obvious, but 2015- from 4.4.4 to 7.1 possibly!
http://www.gsmarena.com/original_sa...id_70_nougat_update_in_january-news-22319.php
EDIT: The source carrier that "accidentally leaked" the update seems to have made a mistake on their data inputs. No nougat update for 2015 series.
Hypothetically, the A7 (2015) can get Nougat since it runs on Snapdragon 615 processor which is the same processor used by the Hong Kong/ China model of A7 (2016). Maybe developers can port it...
What?! OMG! That would be awesome. Although, I can't get my mind around it, A5 didn't get fresh Marshmallow either, with the new white-UI. How would it get Samsung Experience UI?
Cool, anyways I'm waiting for Sammobile to confirm it.
wow, i love samsung
i highly doubt, that samsung would choose to support exactly this phone to create a long-term solution for updates
We should be more then happy with marshmallow, although it looks like they've done a **** job with it though.
What about A3 2015 can't get update
Sent from my SM-A300FU using XDA Labs
I hope it's true
Someone must have made a mistake there...
It's more interesting why they thought the 2015 series would get Nougat, they didn't even specify it.
I think Sammy ended releasing updates (hopefully we still can get some security patches, though).

Yeah someone misunderstood something. Some sites said it would come to the 2015 series, some of them said just for 2016 and newer. Logical, though. But we don't get mad, do we? We have amazing ROMs to try!
Yep, I edited the OP.

According to this, there will be a Nougat update for the A8. But it doesn't mention if its the 2016 version or the 2015 version, can somebody confirm?

If Samsung doesn't forget about the 2015 version, probably it will get it, too. According to gsmarena, the original A8 was released in August, 2015 and launched with 5.1.1, so the one with newer UI.
I would say the 2016 version is sure to get it and the 2015 is also, likely to get it. However, Samsung cares about how much device can be sold in countries and continents. So if it wasn't a successful phone - like A5 - it's not sure. Check confirmation sites later, like Sammobile, Gottabemobile and other certification sites, like bluetooth and WiFi. Keep your fingers crossed!:highfive:
In my final sadness, I rooted my phone and installed a custom ROM...
As we said - according to the sources - Nougat won't reach our beloved A5s.
WHAT NOW? Optus confirmed it AGAIN that the first gen A5 will get Nougat update in this month!

Every phone comes with 2 version support generally, especially when its Samsung / HTC etc. So 4.4 will only reach 6.0 and that would be EOL.
Peace,

It's three then. My advice: buy a phone which is launched with a fresh Android (like S8 with 7.0) so it's sure you can enjoy the fresh Android-feeling through two years in three major versions.

Flashing another Region's firmware on Samsung J7 Pro (SM-J730GM)

Hello All,
Please I want to know the consequences of flashing the rom of another region on your Samsung device. Let me explain why I ask this
So recently I upgraded my Samsung j7 Pro (J730GM) to Android 8.1 Oreo and that update changed the binary version of my device to 5 (i.e. J730GMDXU5) so I tried downgrading the phone back to 7.0 but that did not work because Samsung has not released an Android 7.0 Nougat firmware with binary version 5 so downgrading the normal way was quite impossible.
Now I recently found out that Samsung has released an Android 7.0 Nougat firmware with binary version 5 but the region/country it was released for is Mexico while my phone's region is Thailand.
Now my question is, is it possible to downgrade my J7 Pro with the Mexico firmware although my device's region is Thailand because they are both binary version 5? If yes, what are the possible consequences?

Downgrading j7 software

Hello!
(I'm bit of a noob so I apologize for that)
So I wanted to downgrade my J7 because of the most recent android update my phones touch screen hasn't been working.
The phones screen got replaced once and before the update it worked perfectly fine.
My problem is that my phones binary number is 5 and none of the older versions of android on the J7 have a binary number of 5, only 3 and 4.
So is there a way to downgrade that too or do I have to do something else?
My J7 model: SM-J730F

TWRP custom bootloader on Galaxy M30

So i have had me galaxy M30 for a while now it came out with android 9.0(Pie) and just recently got the android 10 update to OneUI 2. I haven't rooted it or installed a custom boot loader yet. i wanted to do that and i was doing some research and I read about how TWRP isnt ready for phones that come with android 10 out of the box. i was wondering if the would have a problem on my M30 too or if its safe.
if it is safe to install TWRP in my M30 the has already been updated to android 10. Then where can i get the suitable version of twrp and the steps to install it. Also where can i get the stock boot loader incase I wanted to change it back.
device info:
Galaxy M30 SM-M305F
android 10 (OneUI 2)
Exynos 7904
security update version M305FDDU3CSL5
Thanks
