I just bought a used S7 Edge for Sprint and was wondering if there were any free ways to unlock it.

My wife purchased the S7 active unlocked for AT&T and even though it was unlocked it still wouldn't work on Sprint. Sprint devices use different radios that will not work on other carriers except maybe Boost?

Sprint phone use certain frequencies in there radios but it will still work on certain carriers just not verizon 700mhz and ATT but will work on tmobile and a few others.
Might try flashing 935u software.

T-MOBILE S7 Edge works on Verizon, ATT with unlocked Sim card! I also have LTE on All 3 Networks.
First question is how did you get your phone unlocked? I thought tmobile made you wait 45 days before they would unlock the phone

A lot of times if the phone is paid off, it'll unlock as long as it meets 1 requirement.
Sweet Verizon is super fast and coverage is virtually anywhere.

Does it have CDMA support?
I am able to make calls. I'm not sure because I use dialpad for all of my calls.

I said that I was going over seas for a trip. Then the device unlock app was activated.

Verizon uses a lte sim card for data only. There will not be(shouldnt be anyway) any call support because the 935t does not have cdma, unless verizon is using different bands on newer devices like tmobile(band 12 - 700a)

how did you get sm-g935t to work in verizon please help me i have my s7 edge unlocked from t-mobile and i am trying to used it on verizon
Just moved and tmobile service is horrible here. I have to switch to verizon. I got my tmobile s7 unlocked and have heard different feedback as to whether or not it will work with verizon. Some say yes, some no, and others have said it will but not with 3g signals.
Anyone know the truth?
I am almost positive the T-Mobile (and AT&T) versions do not have the CDMA radios enabled, and Verizon (and Sprint) need CDMA.

Well you're almost positive because you've never tried it lol which is a negative. Just flash the unlocked US firmware.
How to enable the cdma? Can I root it and flash a Verizon firmware?

you have to flash the SM-G935U over the SM-G935T. And that should take care of the problem. Just make sure that you unlock your phone via the t mobile unlock app. otherwise you wont be able to use other carriers signal.
here is a link where you can get it the SM-G935U
https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G935U/
So by flashing the verizon firmware on an unlocked tmobile s7 edge, you should be able to use it on verizon?
Thanks!

Absolutely not, it will NOT work but if it was the other way around
and you wanted a verizon s7 edge phone and use an at&T or
t-mobile sim then it would work. The verizon s7 edge has a sim
slot which is not used if it's on the verizon network.
All S7 Edge Verzion phones are sim unlocked.
Good luck, have a great day!
Thank you for the help!

is there a step by step process to unlock and setup/flash/install phone completely to be able to use with Verizon?

Hey everyone,
I have an ATT S7 Edge and was looking to switch to Tmobile. My S7E is unlocked with a Prepaid Tmobile sim in it now and all is working well (even VoLTE which I was shocked about). I'd like to have Tmobile software for wifi calling if it is at all possible. It seems as if VoLTE compatible so I figured the hardware was the same, just different software/basebands. I know Samsung is a nightmare with their carrier versions/locked bootloaders so I assume the chances of this being possible is unlikely, but I figured I should at least ask.
You won't be able to flash TMo firmware on your AT&T phone. Sorry.

Well.. he could at least try to flash the T-Mobile US firmware... worse it could do is fail to install, right?

I think worst case scenario is he bricks his phone.
Trade it on CL for a tmobile one.

i feel the same way except i have a unlocked verizon s7e, but it doesn't feel the same as the t-mobile one.

A Verizon s7e is not the same and will not work properly on tmobile service.

DO NOT do that.If you do so then you can flash your framework back to ATT. I flashed my g935p with g935t framework afterward I can't go back to Sprint framework.
I'm trying to convert my T-Mobile to AT&T because volte isn't working right now. Did you have any luck going from ATT to Tmo?

Were you able to figure this out? I read SOMEWHERE that it's definitely doable but now I can't find the post with instructions.
Hi, I wanted to know whether an unlocked AT&T branded S7E would work on Verizon without flashing the U/V firmware, despite missing band 13. As in, would Verizon approve the IMEI and send in the SIM card because I do not currently have a Verizon SIM and am planning to join their unlimited plan. Thanks
Try it and report back. IM still waiting on my unlock code to come
It will not work with Verizon. Only unlocked phones the except are Google devices and iPhones

Why do you speak of things you don't know about? This is 2017. Most Samsung and iPhones are the same model through every carrier now aside from using carrier specific firmware to lockout certain bands. Right now I am using an att S7 edge flashed with Verizon firmware . But of course you have to sim unlock it first before using on the network. I've been using it for the past week and everything works great. Thank you kindly.

How do you sim unlock the phone first?
Recently bought an S7 Edge, G935F. Lots of stuff on here about rooting/flashing custom ROMs, and I successfully did but am now under the impression it won't work on the Verizon network due to different basebands, something or other. Someone in another thread mentioned that it *will* work with a nano SIM card but Verizon's online checker thing says it won't work on their network for whatever reason.
Can anyone confirm it would? Or .. wouldn't? Again, G935F.
Also, are there any other S7 Edge (or newer Galaxy models) otherwise that have an unlockable bootloader that WILL work on Verizon?
Kudos in advance!
The "V" variant is Verizon Wireless one. These ones are GSM. I think LTE is interoperable, but lower standards are different.

Yes, but don't quote me on it. I think you can't just pop a sim card in and have service, you would need to call VW and have it attached to your account. And if the system doesn't like your ESN, you're SOL.[emoji2373]

No, if you want to have custom ROM, switch to GSM provider (T-mobile, AT&T wireless...)

Verizon wireless is a CDMA carrier. CDMA carriers require CDMA specific devices and the only Galaxy devices made CDMA are for the American market (all bootloader locked). If I were you I'd switch to T-Mobile or At&t (both GSM carriers i.e. fully compatible with international unlockable variants).

Yeah, I've gathered that there's really only a handful of Verizon variants with unlockable bootloaders. Currently looking for a new Verizon variant I can flash a custom ROM on. Google Pixel models look decent, but I'm going to look around a bit more.
