The answer is NO you're asking firmware to replace/add hardware and that's not possible
I have a Verizon branded s7 edge and used Odin to load the 935U PI3 firmware. I am on T-Mo now and do have LTE band 12 working (validated with LTE Discovery). The research that I did found that the US variants have all the radios in them, but some carrier variants of firmware disable certain bands. By doing the 935U firmware, I also got rid of the notice on every reboot that I was using a non-Verizon SIM. So I now have all T-mo bands and no stupid SIM message.

I can vouch for same experience as SF-IT guy. I bought a G935V and flashed with G935U firmware via odin. Works on T-mobile, even wifi calling works. Currently on the latest PI3 version of G935U firmware. I would that you search the forum to see if you can flash the G935T firmware directly. The only downside of using G935U firmware is that the FM radio chip is not enabled in the firmware. I read that the all the carrier versions (September security patch and newer) of the G935 firmware have the FM radio chip enabled. I prefer the 935U version because it there is not carrier bloatware. Samsung bloatware is still there.

So what would the FM radio chip do? Just enable FM radios is all? Because if that's the downside then it's not a major setback as not too many people use the FM radio.
I don't think you can

You definitely can. All US versions of the S7 & S7 Edge are the same hardware and can be flashed to any other US firmware. (including the U firmware that automatically works on all 4 carriers)

So what you're saying is that flashing the U version firmware will unlock by default all 930"X" and 935"X" phones? As in it just unlocks the mofo and debloats some while you're at it?
What's the catch? It seems too easy

Bloat is definitely gone on the U firmware, which is great. My phone runs faster and has more free space too.
I think some carrier features aren't supported on the U firmware. On T-mobile everything works (VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling), but I think AT&T might have some issues with those.
If the phone is SIM locked to a particular carrier, I'm not sure that automatically gets turned off or not when you switch to the U firmware. You might need to contact your carrier first to get an unlock code?

What if I got a temporary unlock from t-mobile unlock app and then flashed this firmware? Would it make it permanent? Seems quite possible, but I don't know if the temporary unlock actually unlocks the phone or just inserts a bypass that would disappear if flashed.

I unlocked my US TMo phone when stock, rooted, and am running Echoe - which has a glitch where WiFi calling sort of works (can receive calls but not make them). In the TMo forum, there are threads on U - your comments here are more specific to what I am interested.
Which U firmware are you on and are you rooted (is is updated to latest v4 bootloader version), and did you have to ODIN and full wipe with CSC or did you get by with CSC Home to preserve data?
Also, are you on U CP or did you flash TMo CP to get all the bands?.

I need to use VoLTE servie on my s7 edge G35U , but its not the option I am getting easily. I need to use the Jio4G service, but I dont have that option on my G935U (single sim) Global variant. I could have flashed the Indian INS firmware, but the issue is, indian version is Exyons veriant and the U one is running with the snapdragon, also the indian one is a G935FD (dusl sim). So, I cant flah the Indian firmware. So, what are all the avilable options for me to get the VoLTE working on my G935U ?
I have tried the T-Mobile (G935T), Version (G935V) frimware which support VoLTE for US carriers, but it wont work for Jio4G network.
So, the doubt is can I flash the U frimware with the Indian Firmwares CSC and check for the VoLTE support? will the exynos vartiants CSC (G935FD) works on snapdragon (G935U) ones?
Or is there any particular solution for getting VoLTE? Eagerly waiting for a resolution, please help me!.

Hey, I am also struck with the same.. I am using Jio4G service. Why could not you use that? I can help. Coming to the CSC, someone has to modify the 935U firmware CSC with INS/INU, until then we can not use it. I have tried to flash 935FD CSC along with other AP,PD etc of 935U through ODIN but it failed. ( T-Mobile and verizon firmware does not work as they had their respective CSC codes and also 935U has all US CSC codes)

Yes, I am currently using the Jio4GVoice app, but still it's not stable to work flawlessly... also the device is supported but.. without proper software it's not working. So, I hope someone has a solution or any developer could help us with this. What to do?... How to modify the CSC to work with this U device.

Okay. While we awaiting someone's attention - let me run this thought by you.
Firstly, Im new to the android world, firmware, rooting, etc... However with the limited googling done, I wanted to check if this will work.
What if we root our phone and disable/uninstall the RCS application (in my case it would be TMobile) and then that will allow Jio to act as RCS App??

If you are having issues in using the Jio4GVoice Applicatiom. Just install the G935U Firmware so that both data and calls work. Though VoLTE is not there, the Jio4GVoice Application will work and also all bands are unlocked in G935U , you can also select specific bands of Jio. Only thing is VoLTE is missing in G935U , maybe someone can get that feature... hoping for best
I'm pretty sure you need to change CSC to your region. Give that a shot and post back your results. I know the SM-G935U can't flash kernels because it is boot-loader locked, but I'm sure you can flash system and csc via flashfire and odin. So tinker with it see what you come up with.

If you want 935T back again, flash the latest version of the 935T firmware. That's it, but even having the VoLTE on T doesn't help with Jio.
No solutions yet.. I am using jiovoice app for the time being..
You need hyour own carrier CSC file for VoLTE etc. But using your own CSC with the BTU nougat ROM breaks things, and cannot be used. You need to wait for your carrier to update.

It's not possible bro. U can only do this if u have exynos version bought in any country. U,T,A,P,V models have Snapdragon version.
When it is come to Samsung, They maintain regional settings in CSC file which has all these regional settings like volte, APN etc . These CSC file made for exynos won't work on Snapdragon.
I have tried many combinations earlier, flashing snapdragon firmware and Exynos CSC but doesn't workout. I have 935U earlier and tried all these and sold my phone.
We also can't Unlock bootloader for Snapdragon Version and Can't even achieved proper root. SO Volte is not possible.

We can try same on S7.
I have a S7 Edge unlocked TMobile, using it in India. I flashed G935U on G935T, I have lost VoLTE however able to use the phone just fine. Will I be able to flash G935FD os7 (Indian firmware) on my phone and have everything working fine. Or will that cause any problem.. I basically want to be able to use VoLTE and yeah also have the latest os!! Please guide...
We should be able to flash any of the stock firmwares with no issues. As far as VoLTE I'm not sure, you should guinea pig it and report back.

Other firmwares will work you might just be missing features like WiFi calling. I don't know the exact dialer code but they is a preconfig dialer code to select csc so once you got the latest you could try that. All the firnwares are identical for each us model you wont brick from flashing another carriers
So thats yes right? I can use other carrier rom without any problem?
please some one answer... my device is att s8 smg950u. so can i use smg950u1 firmware to flash 950u?

Yes, the thing is I don't have my carrier CSC available for download since I'm using it in Europe. Wondering if I need to revert flash how to source TGY (Hong Kong) factory rom? Seems all available for download are US-based CSCs only.
My main concern is OTA is currently failing completely, I am hoping to restore by moving away from the TGY code, does that need carrier switching process or just flash 950U1 on top including user data ?

Im pretty sure u1 model pretty much is csc-less i would try to flash the u1 firmware directly and flash the home csc in u1 firmware which should leave it open. BL" "AP" "CP" "CSC" is all you should flash. User data would add a carrier. If you dont it will leave it open.....
If updates are all your lookong for. Just use odin to manually update

You are either using the wrong odin or a older firmware.
Or. To flash unlocked firmware you must first flash the combination file then unlocked firmware.
