According to that, you were supposed to get the tmobile variant for all LTE bands. Oops

900T with ATT - Where is the ATT modem ?

Hello,
I have a 900T that I am using on ATT network.
Where is the ATT modem that I can install?
It currently has the T-Mobile NK2 baseband.
thanks haeffnkr
You don't need to install an att modem. Just update the APN and you're good to go (assuming your phone is unlocked)
Hi,
Yes I am getting connected to the ATT network with tmobile modems but....
I am getting download speeds under what my ATT S4 was doing and my signal drops from time to time.
I would really like to use the ATT modem and see what difference it makes.
Does anyone have a link the the ATT S5 modems?
thanks haeffnkr

Hello,
You can either extract them from the stock ROM or search the SM-G900A forums.
I did a quick search and got this

thanks I did not find that when I searched.
Any chance you can find the - G900AUCU2AOA1 version
thanks again haeffnkr

T-Mobile Stock Rom on AT&T S7 Edge

Hey Guys,
Recently switched over to T-Mobile cell service, but I've got an AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge...
Is there any way to flash the Stock T-Mobile Rom onto my model?
Any advice on the matter would be greatly appreciated - thanks!
Yep, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-s7-edge/help/att-t-mobile-bootloader-version-t3473281

Why didnt my phone get nougat?

I recently bought my s7 edge directly from the samsung website at&t version and got it unlocked to be used on the tmobile network. I tried updating the phone to nougat but at&t software update would say that I am on the latest software which was 6.0.1. I even used a working at&t sim card because I thought maybe you need to be on their network but still it gave me the same thing. Finally I just used odin to update to nougat but I wanted to know if anyone knows why I was not able to update ota?

You are on the international version if you bought it directly from Samsung. They haven't released the international N for the S7 Edge. I know this is frustrating but you aren't the only one. If you can put up with ATTs bloat then go flash the Odin files, they have been released for ATT.

Samsung S7 edge Verizon - G935V GSM unlocked

HI Folks
I have heard that Samsung S7 edge on Verizon is by default GSM SIM unlocked. Is this correct ? dont we have to do any unlock or similar process to allow GSM sim cards to work from other carriers both domestic and international. Any limitations on this compared to a truly unlocked phone when talking of GSM/LTE features only ?
Thanks
Yes bro! It is unlocked in default. I am staying in India. I have imported s7 edge sm-g935v. It is now on android 7.p. But problem is, it has Verizon bloatware, Verizon apps, Verizon boot up logo, also say sin card is not from Verizon when I use local GSM sim card.
All the calls, messages, work perfectly. Problem is mobile data don't work properly. I tried setting internet configuration manually. Play store and apps work. But browsing internet on any browser don't work.
Let me know if there is any way to use firmware completely free from Verizon. It's annoying man!

I have heard the same, but I got S7 Edge from Verizon and is not unlocked...
so I heard this as well and randomly while giving payment asked them if I could have the 4 digit code to unlock... 5 mins latter I had code and on way it was really pretty easy =)

To remove the bloatware just install the Stock 935U firmware. That will remove all the verizon bloatware. Not to sure about the unlocking. I have heard both versions, that is GSM unlocked by default and it is locked and cannot be used on any other GSM network either.
So i have s7 edge verizon and i am currently in india. i got a vodafone sim card and it was working but the network wasn't stable. all of a sudden i cant access any network on the phone but when i insert a sim card i brought along fro africa i get roaming network.. can anyone assist? thank you

I have a SM-G935V (S7 EDGE VERIZON) USA. This is what I did, I put the Sim card in another phone (T-mobile) S7 edge, then copied the APN Network verbatim. Put the Sim back into my Verizon phone and been doing ok for almost 2yrs. The data does drop when you make or recieve a call or text message. Service is very spotty, majority of the time. If anyone knows if there is a stable rom for this situation, please let me know, I'm still on pb5

Verizon models lock out certain LTE bands from use that the network does not use, simply flashing the G935U firmware would be the best bet as it will unlock all available bands and remove all the Verizon carrier bloatware. When i first had my Verizon S7 G930V i was not able to get band 12 on T-Mobile, now that i flashed the G930U firmware i get all the bands and carrier aggregation i wasn't able to before. Same goes for the G935V and U models.

I just used my SM-G935V in Japan with a Y!Mobile SIM card for 6 months with 0 issues. Granted, I only used it for data, but it worked exactly as I would have expected. We did have to manually input the APN info, but the Y!Mobile sales associate helped me out with it.

I'm getting updates fine on both s7 and s7 edge, i have the latest March patch as well.
i had the same problems with verizon's s7 edge in dominican republic. pop up messages told me it's not a verizon sim card and data and internet would not work. then I downloaded sm-g935U international, carrier-less rom and installed it on my phone. all of the sudden my phone became a generic s7edge phone without the verizon crap apps. no more pop up and everything worked fine right from the beginning. data and internet work flawlessly and phone became a super phone.
Love my s7 edge.
Would you know if flashing the g935U firmware would also add LTE bands 12 and 17? I want the phone to be more
compatible with AT&T. Band 17 LTE is used in my area. My Verizon Galaxy S7 Edge G935V is at Android 8.0

I have the Verizon S7 Edge G935V. I want it to have more AT&T bands as it currently lacks band 12. When you say flash with the G935U firmware I noticed there are several versions for different carriers.
Would you mean flash the 935U firmware associated with AT&T? Or would I flash the verizon version of 935U? I am guessing the AT&T 935U for more AT&T bands, ??

I have this same question. My son has my old SM-G935V bought from Verizon, but it hasn't been connected to any service. I'm looking to connect it now that he's older, but I'm not paying the $XX /m Verizon wants to add a line for my kid, so I'm looking at Mint Mobile @ $15/m. I found these U firmwares:
Samsung firmware download - find All Official Android & Samsung Updates | updato.com
Are you looking for the official Samsung software to download? At updato.com, you'll find the latest Android device updates. Check on your own!
updato.com
But, which one? Do I use the Verizon one because it's a Verizon phone originally, or do I use the Tmobile firmware since Mint runs on the Tmobile network? Thanks.
UPDATE: Nevermind, I went with the T-mobile marked ROM and it worked flawlessly, at leas to connect to Mint, the service itself is garbage though so I'm going to try ATT ROM with Boost next.
