I currently have an unlocked Galaxy S5,g900v (b), looking to update to lollipop. I use a tmobile sim so I will not be getting any OTA's from verizon. How can i update to lollipop without installing custom rom, and maybe with a tmobile instead of verizon pre loaded apps/settings.
Thank you.
I have a AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 (Unlocked) and I am currently using it on Cricket wireless. The phone is currently running on Android 4.4.3 and I would like to update the same to Lollipop. Samsung Galaxy S4 got Lollipop rolled out by AT&T recently but I was not able to get the same since I switched carriers.
Now what is the best way to update the phone. If possible I don't want to root the phone. I went to best buy local store but they were not able to do the same as they said the phone is unlocked. Please let me know how I can update my phone to the latest version. It will be really helpful if someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks all in advance for the help.
Will putting a AT&T sim in my phone help with the OTA? In the sense if I get an AT&T sim card from someone or purchase one and put it in to my phone will that help with the OTA? I am not sure if this phone was unlocked by AT&T.
I was able to successfully install the updates on my phone. I was able to downgrade my phone by installing stock 4.4.2 using ODIN and then was able to upgrade my device to 4.4.4 first and then update to 5.0.1 via OTA. It was an easy process and the instructions in the ODIN thread was really helpful.
Similar situation
I too have an unlocked SGH-I337 that is unlocked from AT&T and I'm using it on T-Mobile. How did you perform the Lollipop update without an AT&T SIM? I took mine to the Samsung experience at Best Buy and they weren't able to do it via Kies and they believe it's because it's unlocked. Nothing else has been done to it, just the AT&T unlock so that I could switch carriers.
Thanks in advance,

My phone is on G928VVRU2BPD4. It's a Verizon carrier unlocked phone I currently use it with AT&T I'm on marshmallow 6.0.1. Since I use it on AT&T I cannot get any Ota updates I have to use odin. My question is can I switch it to AT&T firmware? Also is the AT&T version root able if I am able to switch it?
Unfortunately no.If y had an....lets say g928f carrier locked then yes switching is easy but since you have an g928v (the v at the end stands for verizon) you cannot change to another firmware since its a verizon model and there are no other firmwares for it.
I swear I am not stupid, I realize this sounds insane, but originally my S7 Edge had the model number: SM-G935V.
I soft-bricked the phone trying to get the safestrap feature and when I went into the download after bricking it, it had the model number: SM-G935A. I tried multiple times to flash a stock verizon rom, but it wouldn't work. When I saw the model number I decided to try the AT&T firmware on a whim... and it worked
I don't understand how this happened, I feel like the MD5 file I used had a problem with it, or it was not made for verizon (but instead AT&T) but i desperately need to fix this. What do I do?
AT&T has a newer bootloader than Verizon, so... you can't go back. Not until Verizon releases a firmware with the same bootloader version.
Install BRA1 Verizon s7 edge image with Odin, Prince comsy version.

I think I might want to install the G935U (AT&T) firmware on my Verizon Galaxy S7 Edge G935V currently with Android 8.0
I have downloaded ODIN, Samsung S7 Edge drivers, and G935U (July 24,2018) AT&T version.
Is there any reason I can't do this to my G935V? I am confused on the Boot Loader issues and how they apply
with firmware changes for example when changing a G935V to a AT&T G935U.
I also would like to know if all features continue you work and are there any features you loose.
I have the G935V switched from CDMA to GSM and added a APN config for my Straight Talk AT&T sim.
It works but I don't have LTE band 17 which is used in my area. I barely get coverage on Band 2 in my area.
Thanks,

The Oreo firmware is out here:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935U/
I read that I can install the firmeware of sm-935U in my sm-935V, but when i enter in sammobile page ,there is a huge list of 935U firmeware, wich of those do i have to select to work fine in my phone
So I switched to T-Mobile from ATT. I kept my unlocked S7 but didnt realize I would lose WI-Fi Calling which is a must because I get pretty bad service.
Does anyone have the files and steps to flash T software via Odin?
I have:
G930A 7.0
Baseband: G930AUCU4BQF3
