This is amazing, I was looking for flashable stocks ROMs because for now I don't have access to my PC. I will download and try the LA version.
this is awesome

The only modifications from stock are that dm-verity and force encryption have been disabled in the boot images, and unlocked device/dm-verity warnings have been disabled in the logo images.

Thank you! Good job!
However, please advise this in red.
And perhaps you want also to add a link to an untouched stock. It's great to have the originals of boot.img and logo.img.

I'm really not sure but 137-35 looks familiar. I'm not on stock right now but i use the stock DEODEXED rom when I feel like stock. Is the 43-5 update the most recent one to that? I use sprint but I feel like that doesn't matter since it's carrier unlocked
Can u just use the Verizon build for the rest of the US? (METRO)

The only U.S. OTA currently is the VZW one.
Any of the builds will likely work fine.

I'll try it out tonight. Thanks for the feedback
I flashed the Verizon one. The reason I asked my previous question is because Volte/WiFi Calling is important to me because I get LTE signal just fine in my area but no 3G/HSPA so I rely on those two for phone calls at home. Volte and WiFi calling are working good. Thanks for the upload.
Since this is the stock ROM would dirty flashing as a update work okay?
EDIT: Nevermind, I used my eyes and read the OP.
EDIT 2: Successfully flashed. You the man! Been waiting to get this VOLTE fix. Big thanks :good:

Why didn't att just play nice and update to V3? Instead they update To V4 so I can't flip flop between t-mobile firmware and there's. Does root still work? On the other hand, I can flash Verizon firmware I guess.

I can't root, looks like it's back to the drawing board. It figures this happen as soon as I feel it necessary to root my device......
I advise everyone to not take any OTAs after the first August patch so you can still be able to root and flash roms. It isn't a problem for me since I wasn't planning on rooting this phone again anyways..

@raremind couldn't root on BL4. It's unfortunate how we can't root on API2, but if the developers are willing to find out a new way to gain root access on API2, then it wouldn't be the end of the world for anyone who wants the latest OTA but still want root.

So, anyone flash this yet? I'm tempted but won't be back home to a PC (in case something goes wrong) until tonight. Just looking for some general impressions.
So, I did this. Pretty impressed with the overall device feel now, SE9 is nice . No hang ups other thank it took a long friggin' time, also remember this will WIPE all the data, so make sure to do a backup prior to. The initial/first phone setup is very iPhone-ish, imo.

Be warned; this update is ONLY for SM-G930A firmware - it has a second-stage updater that blocks all other versions (including SM-G930T, which I myself tried). In other words, it is a carrier-specific update, folks.

You could try flashing G930A firmware in Odin and updating that way.

If it weren't for this being a daily driver, I'd consider it. However, because it is, that's not an option. So I'll have to wait for either a neutral version or one that will work with the SM-G930T.

I'm sure this is just coincidence, but I've been trying to get a Sprint S7 working properly on T-mobile's network and was communicating with both T-mobile and Samsung support all last week, advocating for both of them to increase their bootloader version. In particular, I think it makes sense for the 930U to always match or exceed the highest carrier version. I'm not sure if there's any substantive difference among bootloader versions, but that way users would always have the freedom to switch carriers. (The 930P often fails to make calls on T-mobile's network, since it doesn't support VoLTE).
This should probably drop around mid-November based on past updates and codes.
I have bootloader version 7 I think if it goes by the 5th number. I keep getting fuse errors when I try to flash this phone and I've never flashed anything before.

I'm not sure about xposed, but if you're stuck with your phone in a non-functional state after trying to install a lower bootloader firmware, you can always re-flash the latest stock sprint firmware.
Got a few PM on this already, and saw that videos are starting to be posted on this.
MOD EDIT: LINK REMOVED
Clearly shows that it's done just like mine. And shows the global rom as well.
I can say my experience has been great. Signal on att and TMobile seem to be the same, they work great. I also have used Verizon as well.
The phone has got 5G on TMobile in a lot of places.
The software now on global seems faster, no Chinese pop ups etc, no forcing you to use the stock browser when clicking links etc.
The telegram user posted earlier in another thread here on xda, is the same person who generated the key to unlock mine.
Thanks for this. The only thing not clear yet is whether people who flashed global will get OTA or not
People who flash global rom with unlocked bootloader do not get any OTA updates
which means you are stuck forever on the leaked beta 20.2.24 until someone releases a new version
