I am trying to start a thread for our Qualcomm s7 for firmware flashing of other variants ,so mods please be patient as the s7 development is a little slow , I am confirming that Verizon and sprint are interchangeable according to another thread and a rom Being flashed that wasn't version or sprint, I have seen that the g930u firmware can be flashed to all other Qualcomm devices , I have recently flashed pg9 with errors to g930p so I was unsuccessful, if anyone would help and give more insights on how they flashed there s7 to other carriers using firmware flashing on odin,there is also a way to unlock more bands for lte on our devices

I'm seeing conflicting information on how to flash our phones with official software and have a few questions:
Where is the carrier-free US S8 (not plus) variant firmware? I've searched, what even is the CSC for it? XAS, TMK? XAA?
I found a thread that seems to have the EXACT process for flashing any carrier firmware, it says to download the G950/G955W firmwares, which ones? There's some for Bell, Fido, etc. The op failed to provide links.
Has anyone actually successfully debloated their US carrier S8 with a non-carrier firmware, a firmware simular to what we had on the G930U? If so, could you post your EXACT process, down to the very download links you used?
I'm using a T-Mobile US Galaxy S8, and my friend has a Sprint Galaxy S8+, we both want the carrier-free firmwares flashed, but things seem to have changed a lot in the many years since we've flashed phones (the last phone I used Odin with was the Note II!)
Thank you
I'm not too knowledgeable when it comes to the US variant of the S8, but I can tell you this much, the SM-G950W is the canadian model it seems, and XAC is the unbranded non carrier firmware for that model.
Who then got to flash the Sprint phone firmware from the Verizon?
Interested in the possibility of installing the firmware from G935v in G935p
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?
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.

Would it be possible to run a Galaxy S7 G930F with say a flash of the G930U firmware and open up the other LTE bands to use with Sprint?
Either that or is there any news on a possible root with the latest G930P bootloader? I didn't think there was any root options for the G930P's previous firmware so I upgraded it as it came out...
