If it's the G930V then flash the G930U firmware onto it. Should work.

Was told that was possible

AT&T Galaxy S4 boot loader help

Trying to switch my Galaxy s4 (at&t) to straight talk service. I love downgraded to mk2 and rooted /
Super User as well as Safe Strap. I'm on mk2 now and just got my wifi working. I don't know how to unlock the boot loader or what but it's in the stock slot. I messed up the default but I just want to be able to switch to straight talk.

Also: I have tried numerous APNs and none worked. I seen a post that said something about flashing a modem or something using Loki but I lost the page. Maybe I missed a step?

Ended up switching to a t mobile sim card. I figured since it's a att phone to use the att sim card.. but I tried the t mobile and getting some service but very little. ST is telling me a tower near me is down to give it 24 hours but I feel that's a goose chase lol I've used a t mobile sim card in the exact spot I'm in and worked fine. It was in the note 2 from Verizon fully unlocked though.

I have a at&t locked s4 on straightalk now. No need to root unlock or anything just the at&t compatible sim from them and adjust apns. I can't advise on the tmobile base for st since there coverage is horrid in my area but if you do use the at&t the apn I use for my s4 and my gf s4 is as follows
apn:tfdata
port:80
mmsc:http://mms-tf.net
mm proxy:mms2.tracfone.com
mm port:80
anything not listed above was left as either not set or whatever the default was when creating a new apn. I have no issues with data or mms using this apn on either phone. Hope that helps

Well they told me a tower was down for t mobile yesterday and they said 24 hours and it's still not hardly working. I can only use my gs4 on my couch with my hand near the window. About to call them and get I in their butt. It's not my phone is the apn settings or something on the ST end. Will update after this long as call
Unless I am mistaken the apn has zero to do with reception. Apn's are for your mms/data access. I have never come across a phone where the apn had any effect on the actual cellular signal.

AT&T S7 Edge work on Sprint?

I have a chance to get a AT&T S7 Edge from someone. Will I be able to throw my Sim in it and use it on my Sprint account or no?

It's on a Verizon base and this was the only way we could get it to work on Sprint

dude, sprint will NOT activate ANY phone unlocked or not. it isn't like a gsm where the sim card carries the network for phone calls. u can unlock a sprint phone and use it on a gsm carrier but not the other way around. the only way is to clone a esn from another sprint phone and patch it to the motherboard of the att phone. i would think it would be too much trouble to fool with. i have used sprint for 10 years prob i know how the network works

Using VZ S7 Edge on tmobile

Hi,
How can I get my s7 edge to work on tmobile without flashing special firmwares? Do I just get vz to unlock it and it will work? I want to give it to my mom.
Thanks.

Verizon is sim unlocked you can just put your sim in and go. If you want to get all the benefits of tmobile simple flash the latest tmobile firmware with odin then internet calling video calling and all that will work. Goto the tmobile thread to find the latest firmware.

Verizon ROM working on G935P!

So my phone is S7 Edge G935P. Playing around on it trying to get the trifecta of root, rom, and data. So I odined the G935P.I3 and it worked, then rooted, no data. Then I flashed a Verizon ROM just to see if it would work it did, I have data, but is there a way to activate my sprint phone with a Verizon ROM? The rom I used is stang5litre edition 5.0 s7e by blackrain. Everything works except for the Verizon stuff obviously, so I'm just curious if it is possible to change those things to sprint?
Thanks

Yes you can go back to stock or universal, but I'm still trying to figure out how to activate the device under sprint after root. If anyone can help that world be great..
Activation just sets your apn/profile.
Have you tried adding a sprint apn?

I was going to try this also but never had the time. You should go to the rom thread and ask stang5litre and ask him. He is cool and well help as much as he can. He might have a legit answer?
If I put this rom on a sprint phone could I use it on a verizon network?

You will still need a donor Verizon phone to activate the Sim. You will only have lte coverage as cdma on Verizon still requires imei number. I would just flash the U firmware if you are thinking of going... Same service minus the bloat ware

Can I completely delete Sprint from my Samsung Galaxy S7 edge?

I have an "unlocked" SGS7 edge that I bought from a friend and he had it with Sprint. I tried using on AT&T network but it asked me for an MSL code in order to be able to change the APN settings to the AT&T ones. I was able to get the MSL from someone who know more about phones than I do. After this, I am able to use the network and data from AT&T but it still has some features blocked because I can't get past the "Hands Free Activation" from Sprint. These features are the hotspot and voicemail among other.
So my question is if I can completely delete Sprint from my phone by flashing the AT&T firmware for the S7 edge onto my device.
All help is welcome.

Read the back of ur phone if it says 935u then it's an unlocked version.
Use the xda samfirm tool put
Model SM-G935U
Region ATT
It will download the most recent firmware from samsung servers.
Set to auto
Flash the files in that zip with odin.
