Choosing the right S7 edge

Can you please help me choose which model number should i buy? I'm from the Philippines and no silver color available locally so i have to ask some seller but the model number is Smg935fd. Is this a good model that i can root and more developers? TIA for your answer.

Yes 935FD is the best of both worlds! It's like the International version 935F which can be rooted. The letter D stands for dual sim. And don't worry u can install all roms/mods that r for the 935F on the 935FD because they share the same Firmware.

So can i install the cf root file of 935F on the 935FD model??

G935FD has the same firmware of G935F. U can flash any exynos g935f based rom in ur g935fd. I m using this model also

the build no is different for sm-g935f and sm-g935fd.so can we root?

Change Region of my S8

Hello
I have a India Region S8 which is not locked by any provider. As I am in Australia I wanted to install the Australian version so that I get the Samsung Pay options for Australia.
Does anyone know how to update the Samsung Pay or entire OS to Australia?
Will installing official samsung version of Australian rom trip my knox?
Please help.

Anyone??

Since urs is an Indian model of the s8.. It will be the Exynos variant.
If Australia also sells Exynos variant (which I think it does), then u can directly download the Australian firmware from sammobile for ur model and flash it with odin.
Make sure u download the firmware of Exynos itself.
And flashing this wont trip Knox.

Can I change model number of Verizon G930F to another number to receive OTA updates?

In November last year I bought a factory refurbished Galaxy S7 with the Snapdragon chip which came saying it was a G930F. However, I have come to realise that the G930F is not an actual model of the S7 and is simply a Verizon S7 which had the firmware debranded but will not receive OTA updates because it is not recognised as a real version. Is there anything I can do about this?

F is the international model that does not use the snapdragon processor and can unlock the bootloader. The U model is the US varient that uses the snapdragon processor and is bootloader locked.

All you can do is flash the latest G930V (Verizon branded) or G930U (Debranded) stock firmware using ODIN 3.12.7 or newer
But double check in download mode which model it shows there first, likely it will show G930V in which case either of the above firmwares will work fine
Or take it back and get your money back / demand the G930F

How do I flash this ROM?

Going to convert G935T to G935U. Do i need different EU CSC?

I live in Euorpe but have an imported S7 Edge G935T (T-Mobile). That i will flash the G935U firmware on. But i wanna know if i can flash the CSC from a G935F? Is the reception better?

I'm far from a guru on this and I also want to learn if I can convert my Verizon S7 Edge G935V to something more compatible with AT&T
but from my reading the actual 935F cell phone has a different processor and from my reading it won't work with the U.S. versions of the S7 Edge which
all U.S. have the same hardware. The international version is the 935F. Now there is a post somewhere of someone who said he did make a U.S. version work
as a 935F but it was slightly more involved.
I would be happy to find someone to help me with converting from a 935V to something more compatible (Radio Band wise)
before I try and might be disappointed.

Help needed - Imported s8 network issue in india

I bought s8 (G950N-Exynos-singled sim) from south korea though i live in india. Here voLTE wasn't working before, then i flashed a custom rom hadesrom one ui by corsicanu. Now voLTE works almost fine.
But the network service of my device is very poor than indian s8 (i compared it with indian s8). I was wondering if i can flash the bootloader and modem of indian s8(G950FD) via odin .
But the problems are 1. my phone is singled sim, 2. there are no such indian s8 firmware of android 9 on sammobile.com.
What if i flash the bl and cp of G950F ?

voLTE is a carrier specific service. if it wasnt working on your previous ROM and is currently working on the new one, then the dev baked in the goodness of voLTE on your ROM where it was absent prior in the previous ROM.
Anyways, as far as what will happen if you flash the G950F firmware, it will boot and then the phone will think its a G950F. Thats it. Exynos processor S8's can accept the F firmware
