Hey all,
I wanted to confirm with anyone that has a rooted Verizon Pixel if it isn't just me who is having issues sending picture and group texts...I can receive them but not send which is strange to me....?
Anyway, I did multiple things to confirm that it is root that is causing this issue I have. I didn't believe it was rooting that caused it. But I am 99.9% certain. I went back to stock to confirm twice. Meaning I sideloaded the original Marlin P firmware with out root and with root. Everytime I re-rooted my mms issues reappear. So I am not sure what is going on.
I didn't want to go into chainfires root thread to let him know that it most likely is the cause.
I just want to confirm with anyone else on a Verizon Pixel with an unlocked bootloader that has root access.
I am not sure if a logcat would catch anything like that? Can someone let me know if that would please?
Thank you.
I also have a rooted Verizon pixel that I am using with at&t, and I cannot receive MMS messages at all. They never download, and always end up showing, "failed to download." I had the same problem on a rooted MetroPCS lg k7 used on at&t.
I'm rooted on Verizon, no MMS issues. On the APN type I added MMS

I have tried to add mms in apn settings. No go. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it.
When rooted it does not work. Unrooted works just fine.

I have a Sprint HTC M8 , S-off and bootloader unlocked. Also have super CID, with latest Sprint Firmware. Whenever I flash an AOSP Lollipop ROM, I can never get MMS to work. I have tried getting an APN app, and manually setting it. I have used hangouts and the stock messaging app. I have MultiRom, and a GPE ROM works perfectly fine. I don't understand why AOSP will have issues with MMS. I could have sworn I seen Sprint users have success with it. My Profile and PRL are all up to date too. Any help would be great! I really want to run some Lollipop goodness!
I have the m919 unlocked and using my at&t sim card in it. But I'm not able to send or receive MMS. I've checked all the settings in APN and everything is like it should be, but with no luck. I've also noticed that compared to my sisters at&t version s4, my phone has considerably a lot worse network connection. I'm also on AICP ROM but was wondering if there is any work around for this. I'd really like to have a fully functioning phone. By the way I've googled this and couldn't find anything to help me.
Thanks in advance!
Which unlock method did you use? I am on 4.4.4 NH7 and have not tried one yet, but am close.

It was already unlocked when I got it. So I'm not sure which method the person before me used.

I decided to try the latest U-firmware on my G930V. I had issues with previous G930U builds having SMS/MMS issues. I gave PL2 a shot yesterday and I've been really happy with it. The phone is very snappy and everything works as designed. Verizon visual voicemail can't be used, but it's not a huge deal. VoLTE works well. You can download My Verizon from the Play Store. I'd highly recommend this firmware compared to the previous builds. Make sure to enable the Verizon APN in APN settings after install.
I'd like to note that my phone is completely stock at this point, NOT ROOTED, so I didn't need to apply any fixes to make things work. You should be able to root without issue if that's your thing.
Downloading the firmware from Sammobile takes FOREVER, so I uploaded it to my AFH account to cut down on that download time for you guys.
G930UUEU4APL2
Backup using Smart Switch, then use Odin and flash ALL 4 files. Do yourself a favor and don't use HOME_CSC. It'll make things much smoother if you don't.
Let me know if anyone runs into any issues. I know in the past, some have had great experience with the U-firmware and others had issues with no reception. I want to see if the same holds true for this build.
Is this update in January?
Update: Yup, I took it last month and everything was OK. I am on Verizon Rom now just expecting it receives Nougat earlier than U furmware, which updates quarterly.

I was hoping Verizon would see the official Nougat by this point. I liked the feel of the U-firmware, but reception was a problem for me on Verizon. I decided I'd give the latest U-firm a shot since waiting for official Verizon Nougat seems like a lost cause at this point. I'll stay with this until Nougat is officially released. This firmware is the December update, and since they update it quarterly, an update should be around the corner. Maybe the next U-firmware will be Nougat. I think Nougat-U would be damn near flawless lol.
I've been running it since beginning of January no Issues
What exactly are the benefits of flashing this? Do I get 7.0? How is the reception? What are the cons?
I have a pretty big problem. I attempted flashing the 4 files with Odin 3.09. After a couple of seconds the operation terminated and now my GS7 is stuck in a bootloop. Whats worse is that when i attempted to boot into recovery, now it shows a blue screen with the android logo that says "installing system update" for about 2 seconds then shuts off, then tries again. Does anyone know how to fix this, at least so I can flash stock back on it?
Update: Fixed it, was able to get into download mode and use odin to flash stock. The flash failed but it was able to trip the OS and recovery back to normal for some reason.

No carrier bloat and a very smooth OS. The reception is great. The cons are that you don't get any of the carrier features, like WiFi calling, visual voicemail, ect.

Odin 3.9 might be too old. I've used Odin 3.11 or higher on the S7 and have never had any issues.
thanks to you it works perfectly but HOME_CSC failed and caused recovery bootloop after that i tried other CSC and it was successful. I've got very upset on V firmware because they deleted a lot of features on galaxy S7. they are worst

I'm still having issues with this latest firmwire. I do get LTE but not network connection. I still have circle with a line through it indicating that I don't have service. the service will come on for a second and then cut out. Service is called "123456".
Did you choose the APN to use? If you are using a Verizon SIM card, then it should give you the option to use Verizon, but you need to select it.

So there's APN settings and Network Operators. I'm actually using a verizon MVNO called boom mobile. If I selected "verizon" network, I get a notification that says " no service - selected netweork verizon not available". The other one's that show up from the selection are ATT, T mobile, and some 310830 thing. None of them work. I use automatic network detection.
As far as APN settings, I do use Verizon and I get LTE data from that. I just don't get the phone service connection.

Hmmm. This is passed my level of experience then. I'm only familiar with setting up and using authentic Verizon service. I can't speak for other services that use Verizon's network.

Yes you can.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I was looking into flashing the U firmware for a while and I finally pulled a trigger after seeing this thread.
Everything works well on Verizon and it feels great to have a clean phone & freedom to switch. I think it's worth waiting a little more for Nougat.
p.s. Anyone has an idea on when official G930U Nougat will be released?
Will this work for my AT&T S7 on PJ4 firmware?
jOdin3
hey guys,
this is the first non-nexus phone i've used, and I am excited about flashing the U firmware to get a clean stock experience on my g930v. I was wondering what files i should input in jOdin under the PDA/Bootloader/CSC/Phone fields after I extract the zip file SM-G930U? I have searched tried to watch some insufferable youtube videos on the matter have had no luck finding an answer. Also since I'm asking, is it possible to flash this firmware with jOdin3, sorry for the newbie questions, didn't know where else to go.
Thanks in advance to any helpful replies.
Solved the above, no need for replies.
Next though is when I try and flash using Jodin3 the pit file is acquired, the phone reboots and then it stays disconnected and I am unable to start the process after the phone reboots. Any suggestions?
Solved the above by using heimdall to extact pit.
I am close to giving up and flashing anything via jOdin3 I have tried pretty much everything to flash new firmware with no success, latest error is that there is a corrupt file, need to use Odin file...
HAS ANYONE had success flashing a Verizon S7 on macOS? if so please tell me where to go.

Flash the Verizon firmware from the Verizon threads
Has anyone flashed the NKG47L June Security update for Tmobile/Fi Carriers to their Pixel? If so, did you lose VoLTE or Wifi Calling or both?
Wifi Calling and VoLTE were working fine on N2G47O and then I flashed the NKG47L OTA to my Pixel, which I am using with T-mobile, and I can no longer make a call without dropping to HSPA, and calls will not be made over wifi anymore.
Because you said you flashed the OTA I'm going to assume you didn't wipe your phone, so I would try doing that first after backing up all your data.
If that doesn't fix it then I would try flashing NJH47B and seeing if that solves it. NJH47B has the same radio and modem images as N2G47O.
Was going to leave a comment to you on reddit but felt like it would do more help here.

thanks for the reply.
I have a Verizon Pixel that I am using on Tmobile, so it wont let me unlock the bootloader to flash another image. I cant flash the OTA for NJH47B because it says its older than my current baseband.
just wondering if anyone else has the same problem so I can know if its my phone or the update.

I'm waiting for the OTA I'd rather not sideload. I'm in the same position as you are, Project Fi, Verizon locked phone. I'll let you know once they push the update.
edit: I just thought that this might be the reason the OTA hasn't gone out yet? Perhaps they are working this out before they push it. Be interesting to see if anyone else that sideloaded has this issue. Can you post the reddit thread for perusal?

Works normal for me, on Fi on T-Mo.
I'm on T-Mobile and turned off WiFi calling several months ago because incoming callers didn't hear a ring on their end and would hang up before I could answer. Can anyone verify if this is working on the latest release?

Still waiting for the ota also, patiently
It appears to be fixed in the June update... for me at least. (After data wipe) Everyone used to complain about not hearing a ring when they called me while wifi calling was enabled. They now tell me that it's ringing when they call.
As far as the volte and wifi calling issue I had, a factory wipe fixed it. Sux that I had to do it, but it's working properly now on NKG47L

Okay good news I got the notice for the ota today by going into settings and manually clicking check for system updates. It's there but won't let me download it with my data, says to connect to wifi to download and install. But after June 15th it will let you download with data?
Verizon Pixel XL, but switched to T-Mobile, due to then saying their device was unlocked as well. Still on the May 2017 security patch though. Never received an OTA update for the June security patch. It's now July 4th. Anyone have the same problem? Anyone know how to fix it without having to sideload?
TBG3,
I'm having the same issue. I spoke with Google two days ago and the tech said that they hadn't pushed all of the June security updates out yet. I questioned him on that because it's now July. I asked him why hadn't all of Junes updates been pushed through? No logical answer was given. I'm hoping to receive an update for July.

Welp... today i updated stock ROM to the latest version, after that i unlocked bootloader on Motos website, flashed TWRP, installed LineageOS and coudlnt get signal to connect to GSM, then flashed Resurrection Remix and same problem, everything works except calls, signal bars at at 0, no service.
This reminds me of some issues i had years ago and i needed to flash an older modem for calls to work.
Is anyone else having issues after updating to the latest stock ROM version?
EDIT: just confirmed theres something in the latest OTA that blocks GSM funcionality on custom ROMS, i did the exact same proccess with my brother's phone which is the same as mine, Boost E4, but this time without updating the stock ROM, just went directly to unlocking bootloader out of the box and this time is working perfectly.
I need some help now on how to go back to stock ROM and unlock mine.
It is really sneaky for them to do that! Anyone else run into the same problem? I am hoping to use my 1766 with GSM as well. Any luck reverting the changes?

Follow the instructions in my stock firmware thread here to restore your device to the most current stock Android OS and firmware config. https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e4/how-to/firmware-restoring-moto-e4-xt1766-t3820749
However, as far as downgrading your radio firmware, the bootloader (/aboot) has a feature that prevents downgrading. Attempting to downgrade the bootloader will trip a qFuse and hard brick your device. Sprint is notorious for network restricting their devices. They've been doing this for years. Downgrading the Android OS itself is no problem, but downgrading protected firmware partitions is next to impossible.

I read the thread but it is not clear to me if this will solve my problem. From what I understand, the latest OTA blocks GSM usage. But I'm not sure if it also prevents me from using it with other MVNO. I don't see a way to edit APN. It lets me select from a list of Sprint APNs but none of them works. No way to edit or add.

On another CDMA, the difficulty will not be with the device itself, but rather with MEID whitelisting.

I was able to register Boost Moto E4 with Tello. I can make phone calls but I cannot use any data (same account, so I know there should be data). The behavior is similar to GSM carriers before APN is setup. I am not sure if it is related to the update.

Oh okay. That makes things clearer. With Boost Mobile being a Sprint owned subsidiary, and Tello being a Sprint affiliated MVNO, you are correct that with voice being functional, your data connection should likewise work. (Contrary to popular belief, Boost Mobile is not an MVNO and never has been.) I believe that, in your situation, the last OTA is likely not the problem, but rather with your ability -- or lack thereof -- to edit the APN settings. But, on a positive note, with root of the stock OS, using a root file editor can be used to manually modify your apns-config.xml file to add the 4G/LTE data and MMS parameters for Tello. I believe there are also root dependent apps which can edit APN settings.
Since your xt1766 is the Boost Mobile variant, your default APN & telephony parameters are configured specifically for Boost Mobile. I'm making an educated guess that using root permissions to add Tello data and MMS parameters should fix your issue.
