That is impossible if you look at CDMA vs GSM

Get it sim unlocked via Ebay listings (remote unlock) abt 6usd after unlock, flash U firmware and follow this guide to get Indian CSC in case you want Jio VoLTE working in it.

At present its disabled by Samsung as earlier there was no VoLTE services in Middle East. And since your phone is from UAE, its disabled right now.
wait for Samsung. they will enable very soon.

Is it possible to do it without rooting the phone
My phone is not showing India CSC(INS)
I saw the available CSC codes for my phone G935fd using the phone info app and I dint find INS in the available codes... So does that mean I will not be able to flash the INS version of the firmware?
Flash Indian firmware through Odin. With the csc file. It'll work.
Using a Dubai phone too.

Flashing international Firmware

Hello everyone,
yesterday, a family member gifted me an s7 from the USA (SM-G930P). He bought the phone off SPRINT as a SPRINT unlocked version, and, of course, because I live in Europe and want to use the phone with a European SIM card I have the "hands free activation" mark that is sitting on the top left edge of the display. I also noticed some changes, for example the "mobile data" toggle is nowhere to be found and also I don't have the options to choose the network mode (2G/3G/4G). I love the phone and I also would like to keep using it, I only need some answers from you guys.
My first question is, if the phone will actually let me use 4G network with my European SIM card, or will I be limited to 3G?
My second question is, If I can flash an international firmware for another carrier and another country on the phone, and if so, will I have the advantages of that firmware, like the Mobile Data Toggle??
Thank you very much for your answers.
If you install the 'Network' app you might be able to change the network type.
In general you should be able to use an unlocked P variant with a foreign SIM but you may have to activate with a Sprint SIM first.
You can't flash the international version since it's Exynos and the P version is Qualcomm CPU.
I am not sure if this model has Samsung region lock which is another thing to consider.
If I was you I would try to flash the U firmware (US unlocked) as it has the most support for international 4G bands among the Qualcomm US models. It also doesn't have all of the Sprint bloatware on it.

Thank you for your reply. I am currently using the European Sim from my carrier and I have no problems with it. I managed to get rid of the Bloatware by using Package Disabler Pro, but it still sits there somewhere on my phone. So far, the phone is working very well and other than the bloat sitting on my memory and the lack of LTE, I have no complaints.
Can you tell me if someone has tried to flash the U firmware on a P model with success?

Could you tell me how you did it, or link me a guide??
I had bought an unlocked Sprint galaxy S7 (930P) off ebay which died on me. Got it repaired from the service center and they sent me a locked device instead. The phone is currently on Software Version - G930PVPS4BQC1 and the hardware revision is Rev 0.6. I'll be using the phone in India and have a few questions.
1. I need to get this SIM unlocked from a service online. Does anyone know of a reliable place to do so?
2. If I flash the U Rom on it after unlocking it, will I lose the unlock? (I don't mind downgrading from Nougat to Marshmallow)
3. Should I unlock first then flash the ROM or flash the ROM first and then try to get it unlocked?
4. Will flashing the ROM directly unlock the phone itself?
Please advise.
...
you could try gsm zambia to unlock your phone it works i tried it myself a few days ago, also after my phone got unlocked i flash the U firmware/rom and the unlocked remained. so you should unlock your device first then flash the U firmware :good:
PS. if you one nougat better to downgrade if you can do marshmallow so when you wont have any issues flashing to U firmware. :cool

Its Verizon.
The model is SM-G935V
I think the only solution is to change the logic board.
I tried almost every 3rd party unlock site, contacted Samsung and Verizon but no luck.
Ummmmmm I think the u firmware is carrier unlocked and nor does Verizon lock there phones so it should be unlocked dude

Its fckd up, i opened the back and on the motherboard it says SM-G935A. So its AT&T but the software on the phone is SM-G935U.

The "U" model is the newer model that Samsung introduced on June 30 of 2016. It is UNLOCKED for North American carriers. It will run all of the big 4 (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, & T-Mo) based on which carrier's sim card you put in it. Samsung introduced similar to some of the Motorola models or the Nexus/Pixel models that can be taken from carrier to carrier. That is ONLY true of the 935U. If it does not say U, it is not the North American unlocked model. It was sold directly from Samsung, Best Buy, and other online electronics resellers. None of the four US carriers sold this model since they sold their own model. Because it is not carrier locked, there is very little bloatware. Now having said all that, the bootloader for the "U" version is absolutely locked by Samsung so it cannot be rooted or flashed at this point. That is everything I know at this point. Good luck. The product is reaching end of life, so you should pick one up soon if you want, but you can take it to any carrier in the US.

I opened the phone and it says on the motherboard SM-G935A which is AT&T but it is flashed with SM-G935U and its Sim locked. I will try to unlock it with a code from a third party :/

So you are asking about 935U software running on 935A hardware? That doesn't seem to be what the original post says. Everything I told you was about 935U hardware only. In reviewing your original post, it seems you are asking a hardware question. Nevertheless I wish you all the best with whatever device you have. Good luck.

If the motherboard says 935A, you have the AT&T version that was flashed with the unlocked U firmware. The U firmware can be flashed on any of the US carrier versions. Flashing the U firmware removes the carrier bloatware but it won't unlock the phone. If the phone was fully paid for and not blacklisted as lost or stolen, AT&T should unlock it, otherwise a 3rd party unlock service should be able to provided it's not blacklisted and you tell them it's a 935A, not a 935U.
Hi all. its probably T-MOBILE G935, then check out IMEIFIX.com, if not then Sprint G935P check out IMEIGURUS.

at&t to verizon

I just picked up a used s7 edge from a at&t customer, every thing that I could find said once unlocked it would work on any network. I unlocked it via at&t, checked that it works on an at&t sim and Tmobile but it is not working on my Verizon sim and their techs can get it to work either.
Will an At&t s7 edge work on a Verizon network? if so how? Or should I find a different phone?
Thanks
Andy
That is an interesting question. I believe all the US based Snapdragon S7 and S7 Edges have the same hardware, so you would just need to flash Verizon or unlocked firmware over the AT&T image. That part is confirmed, as people have gone from V to U and A, and A to U and V. If I were you, I'd probably go for the unbranded firmware, but that's a personal preference.
The real trick is getting Verizon to properly provision it.
At&t is gsm and Verizon is cdma not compatible with cdma you need to give carrier imei that's how cdma works not just with SIM card
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using XDA-Developers Legacy app
The US (Snapdragon) S7 and S7 edge share the same physical hardware. There is a better than average chance that if he flashes the U or V firmware, and can get Verizon to put on their network, it will fly.
G935T to G935A

Question: to convert from one firmware to another do I have to install U first? I want to convert my G935T to G935A to be able to use wi-fi calling. My phone is unlocked and everything works on At&t except for wi-fi calling (Or VoLte as I see it referred to often)

If this is your first device with AT&T to support WiFi calling, you may have to get a new SIM (or get your current SIM provisioned correctly).
So are you saying I don't need to install the G935A firmware?
