Samsung SM-G935F/SM-G935W8 ROM difference?

Greetings!
I would appreciate if someone could tell me the difference between these two Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs? I know for previous models, It was safe to flash a 'F' variant ROM onto a 'W8' variant.
Does this still apply?
I'm interested in flashing the SuperNexus 2.0 build on my Canadian Galaxy S7 Edge.
Cheers!

i have a sm-g935w8 currently flashed with king rom v8 and jesse kerne and no problem
and from what i have read is the f version is the international one and w8 is only for canada but seems to have the same hardware but different software like modem and bootloader

That's what I was thinking. So you've flashed the F kernel on your W8?

Do you have the Bell SM-G935W8? What Root did you use? Did you use Philz Touchwiz for 6.xxx? What ROM did you use? Thanking you in advance.

I've never used philz. Always twrp and I use chainfire for rooting. G935F model is exactly the same as our Canadian model.

If i flashed the g935w8 firmware on my g935f, would it work?

God no. Why would you want to? No advantages whatsoever. You can only cross flash custom ROMS

Oh Interesting I was hoping it would. Since its the same hardware, I was hoping that maybe I would be able to use band 30 if I flashed the g935w8 modem and firmware on my g935f.

I believe you could flash the modem through Odin but don't quote me on that. I know that even if you wanted to flash firmware Odin won't let you do it. If you tried modems only maybe? I think the bands are hardware anyways, can't manipulate them.

I see, that makes sense then. I was just reading other's posts that said the g935w8 is the same hardware as the g935f (considering they are both exynos), so I thought maybe that the LTE bands were due to software differences. But if its a hardware difference its probably a bad idea for me to try it.

Thanks for the feedback guys! Currently running Debloated DD1.1. Really recommend it!

Guys I bought a canadian g935w8, and I do not live in canada. Right here I get a weak 4g signal unlike my wife's g930f. I would like to try and flash g935f modem over my g935w8. Do you think it's possible ? Is there a risk that I loose my IMEI ? Can I try ?
Please advise me. Thank you in advance

I wouldn't do it if I were you mate. Criss crossing custom roms is fine as they are compatible with each other but flashing one variant of modem over another is a big NO NO and could potentially brick your device.

Rooting PJ2 and Switching to T-Mobile

Currently have a SM-G930P, 6.0.1 October 1, 2016 patch, baseband G930PVPS4APJ2. Is this version rootable?
My ultimate goal is to root and then flash a T-Mobile based rom (SM-G930T) since I use T-Mobile with this phone.
Anyone know if this is possible and have any tips?

No, its not rootable

I also would love to flash a T-Mobile rom

when I had a T-Mobil gs7e I flashed an att rom and bricked it.
recovery impossible.

If your phone is unlocked from Sprint you can Odin the 935U firmware and use a Tmobile sim. That firmware also unlocks all the lte bands for Tmobile. I am using it now. Make sure after you Odin you have the Tmobile sim in the phone if the Sprint sim is in it will lock again.

Don't flash BTU. Your phone will be bricked. As all International models are in exynos you can't flash an exynos Rom over snapdragon
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

For VoLTE you need an Indian localized rom (for Samsung usually the local unbranded one works, too). Since in India the Exynos variant is distributed you will have a hard time to find a suitable rom for your Snapdragon one. If your provider does not have any app based solution you may be out of luck.

Volte mobile is good i love all features and speed of this phone. I like its work fast and did not hung.

I was in the same boat... Just flashed a U firmware over USA model and rooted it.
Then via flashfire, Flash this CSC Which was basically pulled out from S8 CSC selector file by @Tkkg1994
VoLTE should pop-up after reboot.
Even wifi calling toggle comes up but Jio is yet to implement the feature (Don't turn it on... you'll miss calls when on wifi)
Thank the original developers.

Why can't you root? You can't use this CSC via Odin.. it's a flashable zip.

Quick question. I have a galaxy s7 sm-g930t1 which is the galaxy s7 with metro-pcs. Will this work on this model. It has snapdragon which has a locked bootloader that makes sure its signed. I would assume it would work as long as I also flash the bootloader with this version but I want to be sure.
I ended up just giving it a try and it worked. Thank you!

I'm getting the "sha256 is invalid" error when trying to flash this - I'm using the AT&T Nougat version and want to get my wifi-calling back. Any reason why this may be happening?

what odin version is recommended to use?

Yeah it does. The only file I didn't use in Odin was the CSC. I then just went Settings/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names and added my own MetroPCS access point and deleted the rest. Here is my settings and it works great.

What do you do with the Home_CSC file? I haven't seen this before. Thanks.

Can I flash this to the unlocked US VERSION? I never thought I'd say this but the tmobile version gets updates faster than the unlocked version.

I am receiving an error while i flash it. The error message was along the lines of invalid ext4 and incorrect volume size.

HOME CSC keeps your data, CSC wipes the device, do note that you can only use the HOME CSC if you are are coming from a T-Mobile based firmware

Needs at least ODIN 3.12.10 to flash

So does this just restore back to Full AT&T with all the bloat crap -- or is it without ATT bloat?
I assume VoLTE and WiFi Calling work ??

Google is best search engine. If you type in in Google search " Download Odin 3.12.10" you will get results in mater on seconds.
I don't think there is odin 3.12.10, last one official is 3.12.7 and is here : https://thedroidguru.com/download-latest-odin-odin3-all-versions-full-collection/

Just following up on this request. I purchased international unlocked both sim and bootloader.
Right now my ATT sim works in my SM-950F/DS. But I think its not getting 4GLTE.
I'm hoping for a CSC flash for this international version, but if a stock ATT flash will work as well, then I'll do that.
Yes hoping to keep dual-sim capability with GoogleFI.
