Hi all,
I'm new to Android so please forgive my ignorance. I have a T-Mobile S6 edge plus and I want to replace the software with the canadian Rogers variant. Is this even possible? I know that the stock fw for G928W8 is not yet available, but when it'll be, could it be installed on a t-mobile phone? I mention that the phone is rooted and unlocked and it works perfect on Rogers.
thanks!
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.

hey guys,
My brothers unrooted at&t s6 edge+ (SM-G928A) entered an infinite bootloop on at&t's crappy software. We live in europe, so we can't get a replacement or get it fixed, even thought it's still eligible for warranty
I read somewhere it isn't possible to install samsung's software or any other rom made for the unlocked s6 edge+ on this device.
Is this true?
If yes, why? The hardware should be exactly the same (except for some bands missing), right?
In the past I have flashed stock firmware on various samsung phones bloated by carriers, so I don't get why it wouldn't be possible now.
Thanks in advance.
Bump
It's still bootlooping
Where can I find the latest Nougat firmware for unlocked AT&T without the bloatware?
I ordered a manufacturer refurbished S7 Edge the other day...it's an AT&T unlocked phone so no doubt has the factory Marshmallow o/s plus bloatware. It hasn't arrived yet but I wanted to be ready to reflash it with Nougat. I looked about but did not find a definitive Nougat package for this handset that removes all the AT&T bloatware. Can you please point me in the right direction? Thanks!
I'm using the 'U' version for my S7 Edge AT&T phone. No bloat and wi-fi calling, VOLTE, etc.
Today the wife and I jumped ship from Verizon and brought our own S7 Edges(935V) devices to Tmobile. My phone is running the 935U Android 8.0 firmware already from Verizon and works great on TMobile service. Her phone on the other hand is G935V on official Verizon firmware still. Her phone works great on TMobile just as mine but her phone is still on Android 7.0 Verizon official. As far as taking updates now or reflashing with Odin,would it be safe to flash her phone with U firm from TMobile? Are all the U firms the same? Would flashing the TMo firmware help any at all with the tmobile radios and such? Any help greatly appreciated! Enjoying the TMobile service so far! Way better service here in Lansing,Michigan with Tmo than the Verizon.
I've used both the G935U and the G935T firmware on my S7 edge from Verizon no problem on the TMo network. People have said the U Firmware radio doesn't have quite the signal detection range as the others, but you might just be sacrificing a bar of service for more consistent connectivity.
Eventually I ended up using the G935T firmware instead because the TMobile bloatware helped my wife manage her account and such. If her phone was still on Verizon Official and needed flashed for a non developer, I would go with the Tmobile firmware just for less confusion.
The Verizon S7's really were never carrier locked in the first place, and the S7 has universal modem firmware.
