Re: Can't send/receive MMS on Wi-Fi
This doesn't need Root, just a version of the Samsung tool (Odin) that is modified to ignore the model checks (flashing G935T software onto G935A phone) Since you mentioned root - I presume you are somewhat tech-savvy yourself? Hopefully T-mobile moderators don't mind the links to firmware (I don't have time to read all the "terms and conditions")... Anyway, it was kinda scary for me as friends couldn't afford to buy new phones (never done before) , but someone I work with told me if it didn't work Best Buy has a samsung rep who would reload the Stock AT&T software on it so you only lose time trying it and can then restore your files/apps after... This doesn't trip the Knox security bit, nor does it cause e-Fuse issues, you just need to hope there is Tmobile software out there at same bootloader (BL) version as you are running now -- I can't do this to my S8 Active as TMO is BL v1, and ATT is BL v2 😥 ...I have to wait until TMO updates to BL v2. The latest firmware on TMO is G935TUVS4BRC1 so you'd need to locate that from a reputable source (DISCLAIMER - I CANNOT GUARANTEE sources of firmware - USE AT OWN RISK) I did a quick look and found the latest firmware on this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/help/galaxy-s7-edge-tmobile-stock-rom-t3729776 Patched ODIN loader is on this thread Patched Odin 3.13.1 | Android Development and Hacking Anyway, if you wanna try yourself there are other things to research: Put phone in developer mode and enable USB debugging (they say it helps) Use Smartswitch to back up data (move private files to a folder before backing up - flash will erase phone) Put phone in recovery mode and do factory reset, then reboot, then do clear cache partition Put phone in download mode and connect to USB Port (do NOT use USB3 ports - they can cause issues for some odd reason) Open Modded Odin, put files in each of the 4 boxes labeled (BL, AP, CP, CSC) Click <START> and pray LOL Watch screen, in about 5 min or so it should finish - but be patient AGAIN - THIS IS ALL AT YOUR OWN RISK - Tmobile won't support you if ya mess it up and I 'm not liable as I barely know how to do it myself (But it wasn't that bad - but I'm an IT guy by trade) do lots of research if doing yourself - GOOD LUCK10Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Can't send/receive MMS on Wi-Fi
The other option is find a VERY tech savvy person to put T-mobile firmware on your Galaxy S7. My friends ported their unlocked S7's from AT&T over to Tmobile and had the same issues intermittently. so I downloaded firmware G930TUVS4BRC1 off of a developer's forum ( Android Forum for Mobile Phones, Tablets, Watches & Android App Development - XDA Forums )and used the Samsung tool "odin" to write it to the phone. This totally erases the phone (best way) but you can back it up first using Samsung Smartswitch software then restore it afterwards. You'll need to re-login to apps that save login and redo some settings but it's worth it. Now their phone boots up with T-mobile logo not AT&T and looks just like a G930T (T-mobile version of Galaxy S7) This is NOT for the inexperienced person as it can cause issues if done wrong but they now have ZERO issues....and didn't have to go out and buy new phones at great expense! To moderators: if this sort of post isn't allowed let me know and delete it, but this DOES work and it's not that hard to do! Dave in Tampa17Visto0likes0Comentarios
