SM-G930U Now Flashes to SM-G930T

[aromerblz]

With the latest update of PI3 on the SM-G930U the bootloader is now on version 4. Found out trying too flash a version 2 bootloader from Verizon firmware.

What this means? Users on the SM-G930T that wanted a bloat free smooth firmware can enjoy just that now by downloading and flashing the latest PI3 firmware on sammobile or samfirm tool.

So you were able to flash the SM-G930U firmware now?

Perfect.. hope you are enjoying the ROM.

Can you root this firmware?
Edit: Root is possible.

Be careful if you want to go from 930T to 930U and then back to 930T...I had to use Smart Switch because I was getting an error when flashing AP with ODIN...

Just a note, you'll lose FM radio support. I was really hoping they would include it in the update, but no love sadly. I have the U and am considering flashing the T for it. Comes in handy at the gym for watching tv, but then I'll have bloat. Decisions decisions.

Can I flash the tmobile modem over this and get the 4x4 mimo support? Or does that also include some code in the firmware?

No issues on my end. I flashed T then back to U without any hassle. Probably is your odin or faulty usb cable or port.

On another thread someone said to flash the tmobile radio from the latest build to get TMB specific features. You can try at your own risk and report back.

Great, thanks for the input. Am sure a lot will find this handy.

A somewhat silly question but does flashing the U firmware automatically unlock the SIM? Or is it still SIM locked?

No, flashing the U firmware does not Sim Unlock the device. You must first unlock then flash if you want to switch carriers. Otherwise just flash and use your same provider SIM.
