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.

@kiranhdg - I flashed my phone with 935U and I am able to use the Jio App, cannot make calls or Text via the regular dialer. Now, If i wanna get back on the 935T which did have the VoLTE, do i just flash the it with that firmware, or I can never revert the phone?? Thanks for your help though!!
download the tmobile firmware and flash it back. No big deal.

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.

I am using SM-G935W8 S7 edge from canada in India right now.
I want to use volte feature on reliance jio on my device. I have tried odin with different firmwares but was not able to flash stock firmware on it.
I want to know whether 935w8 supports VOLTE service or not? And if it does supports, then ehat is the procedure to so.
Please help me out guys. I want volte on my device.
VoLTE will work only if jio networks provides configurations for W8 variants. Better go to Jio office and put on a request. They can only solve your problem.

The G935W8 probably does support VoLTE in Canada, but it won't in other countries due to the lack of an Indian CSC for the W8 variant.

It'd be impossible to get one, because Samsung would never allow it.
You could try exchanging your phone for a G935F/FD and flash the Indian firmware on that to get VoLTE.
Although you'd lose some money, you'd get VoLTE and the ability to get Indian software updates.

HI Folks
I have heard that Samsung S7 edge on Verizon is by default GSM SIM unlocked. Is this correct ? dont we have to do any unlock or similar process to allow GSM sim cards to work from other carriers both domestic and international. Any limitations on this compared to a truly unlocked phone when talking of GSM/LTE features only ?
Thanks
Yes bro! It is unlocked in default. I am staying in India. I have imported s7 edge sm-g935v. It is now on android 7.p. But problem is, it has Verizon bloatware, Verizon apps, Verizon boot up logo, also say sin card is not from Verizon when I use local GSM sim card.
All the calls, messages, work perfectly. Problem is mobile data don't work properly. I tried setting internet configuration manually. Play store and apps work. But browsing internet on any browser don't work.
Let me know if there is any way to use firmware completely free from Verizon. It's annoying man!

To remove the bloatware just install the Stock 935U firmware. That will remove all the verizon bloatware. Not to sure about the unlocking. I have heard both versions, that is GSM unlocked by default and it is locked and cannot be used on any other GSM network either.
So i have s7 edge verizon and i am currently in india. i got a vodafone sim card and it was working but the network wasn't stable. all of a sudden i cant access any network on the phone but when i insert a sim card i brought along fro africa i get roaming network.. can anyone assist? thank you

I have a SM-G935V (S7 EDGE VERIZON) USA. This is what I did, I put the Sim card in another phone (T-mobile) S7 edge, then copied the APN Network verbatim. Put the Sim back into my Verizon phone and been doing ok for almost 2yrs. The data does drop when you make or recieve a call or text message. Service is very spotty, majority of the time. If anyone knows if there is a stable rom for this situation, please let me know, I'm still on pb5

Verizon models lock out certain LTE bands from use that the network does not use, simply flashing the G935U firmware would be the best bet as it will unlock all available bands and remove all the Verizon carrier bloatware. When i first had my Verizon S7 G930V i was not able to get band 12 on T-Mobile, now that i flashed the G930U firmware i get all the bands and carrier aggregation i wasn't able to before. Same goes for the G935V and U models.

I just used my SM-G935V in Japan with a Y!Mobile SIM card for 6 months with 0 issues. Granted, I only used it for data, but it worked exactly as I would have expected. We did have to manually input the APN info, but the Y!Mobile sales associate helped me out with it.

I'm getting updates fine on both s7 and s7 edge, i have the latest March patch as well.
i had the same problems with verizon's s7 edge in dominican republic. pop up messages told me it's not a verizon sim card and data and internet would not work. then I downloaded sm-g935U international, carrier-less rom and installed it on my phone. all of the sudden my phone became a generic s7edge phone without the verizon crap apps. no more pop up and everything worked fine right from the beginning. data and internet work flawlessly and phone became a super phone.
Love my s7 edge.
Would you know if flashing the g935U firmware would also add LTE bands 12 and 17? I want the phone to be more
compatible with AT&T. Band 17 LTE is used in my area. My Verizon Galaxy S7 Edge G935V is at Android 8.0

https://www.frequencycheck.com/models/A1XZL/samsung-sm-g935u-galaxy-s7-edge-td-lte-samsung-hero-2
I have the Verizon S7 Edge G935V. I want it to have more AT&T bands as it currently lacks band 12. When you say flash with the G935U firmware I noticed there are several versions for different carriers.
Would you mean flash the 935U firmware associated with AT&T? Or would I flash the verizon version of 935U? I am guessing the AT&T 935U for more AT&T bands, ??

Verizon models lock out certain LTE bands from use that the network does not use, simply flashing the G935U firmware would be the best bet as it will unlock all available bands and remove all the Verizon carrier bloatware. When i first had my Verizon S7 G930V i was not able to get band 12 on T-Mobile, now that i flashed the G930U firmware i get all the bands and carrier aggregation i wasn't able to before. Same goes for the G935V and U models.
how to root my phone
I have s7 edge verizon G935V with androd Oreo so if I install G935U firmware all verizon stuff would disapeir? could I rooted later? or how can root it?

Yes bro! It is unlocked in default. I am staying in India. I have imported s7 edge sm-g935v. It is now on android 7.p. But problem is, it has Verizon bloatware, Verizon apps, Verizon boot up logo, also say sin card is not from Verizon when I use local GSM sim card.
All the calls, messages, work perfectly. Problem is mobile data don't work properly. I tried setting internet configuration manually. Play store and apps work. But browsing internet on any browser don't work.
Let me know if there is any way to use firmware completely free from Verizon. It's annoying man!

I have this same question. My son has my old SM-G935V bought from Verizon, but it hasn't been connected to any service. I'm looking to connect it now that he's older, but I'm not paying the $XX /m Verizon wants to add a line for my kid, so I'm looking at Mint Mobile @ $15/m. I found these U firmwares:

But, which one? Do I use the Verizon one because it's a Verizon phone originally, or do I use the Tmobile firmware since Mint runs on the Tmobile network? Thanks.
UPDATE: Nevermind, I went with the T-mobile marked ROM and it worked flawlessly, at leas to connect to Mint, the service itself is garbage though so I'm going to try ATT ROM with Boost next.
