LTE Bands Supported

Anyone know which bands are supported by the VZW version? Is it only 2/3/4/5/13?

I just read about this. According to this review: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2500353,00.asp
"It (Verizon Wireless Samsung Galaxy S7) has LTE bands 2/3/4/5/7/8/13/18/19/20/38/39/40/41. Samsung unfortunately removed key LTE bands for the other major US carriers—12 for T-Mobile, 17 for AT&T, and 25 for Sprint—to make it difficult to use this model elsewhere."​
I doubt it was Samsung that removed it - more likely, Verizon had them remove the others. Just a guess, tho.

Is there an ELI5 version of this thread? What is the importance of knowing which "bands" are supported?

Using the phone LTE in other carriers. Carriers 'own' certain frequency bands which are used to communicate with your phone. Your phone and the tower need to be able to use the same frequency band in order to communicate.
Most phones work on 2G/3G world wide (except on CDMA carriers like Verizon, generally most phones don't use the tech/frequencies for verzion nor would Verizon allow then on their 2G/3G bands of they did). But LTE is new enough that most phones don't support the 20 odd frequency ranges used (2G/3G use less then 10 combined for most of the world).

The modem supports all the bands, Verizon disables it in software. What a bummer! I will suggest you to buy G950U or US cellular model.

Or flash the firmware of the carrier you want to enable the modem which has been successfully posted on a few xda threads and other sites. All snapdragon us variants can be cross flashed.

Yes, AT&T bands are in that firmware, evoke TMO bands are in there. Most gsm carriers have all bands except Verizon and Sprint bands enabled

I don't have links to the firmware, I'm at work. If you look at updato.com you can find the latest for the g930a, or you could get the g930u nougat update. There are plenty of threads that work through Odin usage in each forum in the QA

You'd have to check on the s8 forums. An s7 probably would as I think only the Sprint and tmo phones were simlocked. Not sure though as I've only had my ST phone and read the vzw phone being used on several carriers.

So are you saying that the actual bands are software based not hardware based. So all we have todo is flash the right ENG and ROM and wala I have right radios for my carrier?? US Based.

Yes, flashing the fw of the carrier loads the correct radio drivers. The radios are hardware based, but locked down by what the firmware has the instructions to look for and run.

Great explanation, I’m new to this stuff - we all have to start somewhere right?
So is root required to flash? The reason I ask is that I’d like to buy an S7 but I want to be able to WiFi hotspot tether without carrier provisioning and some versions of the phone allow it while I’m pretty sure others block that (like att)...By the way do you know which version would be best to flash to for WiFi tethering and ALL LTE bands made available? Thanks!

I use the hybrid rom that is loaded with vzw and debloated custom to my needs. It has tethering enabled. You'll just need to use root long enough to get the flashfire setup going and then once you're done it is unrooted. You'll have to check other threads regarding performance tweaks if you decide to stay rooted.

I thought the bootloader was locked on the Verizon S7 which doesn't allow rooting?... So rooting actually is possible on the Verizon S7?

Using the engineering kernel for nougat you can achieve toy, but it's buggy and slow since it wasn't meant to be used for daily devices. That's why the hybrid ton was developed to show some root uses without needing to keep root, like removing bloat permanently or getting the tethering service setup.

Flashing T-Mobile Rom on Verizon S7 Edge

Hey guys. I just bought a Verizon S7 Edge today and I've read online I can convert it to a full T-Mobile version with wifi calling, get updates, etc. Is there a guide to do this anywhere? I searched, but couldn't find it.

I wouldnt recoomend it. Once you flash the T-Mobile rom, you cannot go back to Verizon due to different bootloader versions, which means you will lose your warranty.

Wouldn't you be able to flash back to Verizon after? I'd like the wifi calling and upcoming updates for better lte speeds on T-Mobile.

No you will not be able to flash back to Verizon because T-Mobile is on bootloader v3 and Verizon is on v2. You cannot go down versions. It's entirely possible, in fact it's exactly what I did but I do regret the move. I would recommend flashing the U firmware which is the US unlocked version of the s7e. That will unlock pretty much all of the bands and you should be able to get wifi calling and you can flash back to Verizon.

Thanks, do you think the u firmware will get the updates for the 4x4 mimi etc that are coming to T-Mobile shortly for faster speeds? Also, is it possible Verizon will eventually go to a v3 bootloader and thus be able to flash back again? Do you have a link to the guide to be able to flash the U firmware?

Yes 4x4 mimo should be twice as fast as Tmobile. There's a chance that Verizon and U will be updated to bl3 but there's no way to know. Honestly I would flash U and stick with it.

Fair point. Just know that if you do this, you cannot go back and it will void warranty. If you want to do it, just download the tmobile version firmware, download odin from that post that I linked to and flash using the instructions from the post.

Where do I turn on wifi calling? I couldn't find it in the settings.
-edit- Nevermind, I turned off the phone, put my sim card in, and restarted and it popped up. It wasn't showing up due to the fact I put the sim card in while the phone was on I guess.

Hii,
Sorry for the questions, but it would be really nice if you could help me.
I recently got a s7 edge verizon model as it was way cheaper. I wanted your inputs on flashing either the unlocked or tmobile version. i understand that U version is better as there is chance to revert to verizon ROM.
Sorry i do not know certain basic things.
Does verizon model have all bands and just verizon did not open them up??
Do u get all bands on U version that tmobile uses once you flash with U-version
Can u get tmobile wifi calling HD voice features on the U-version
Any other advantages and disadvantages of either version?
other than the bootloader v2 vs v3.
will i get get updates with tmobile and what about samsung pay and android pay?
will samsung pay and android pay work on flashed Unlocked ROMS, i do not intend on rooting the phone.
If i flash the tmobile version will it be tmobile sim locked ??

I flashed the U firmware and then flashed the latest Tmobile, or at least it think its the latest (Baseband: G935TUVU4APIA), and all functions seem to be working properly, tested SMS, MMS, WIFI Calling, not too sure what other Tmobile functions also are related to the modem so let me know what else I should test.

Volte seemed to have worked fine. Anytime I was on a call 4g LTE was workibg. No HD calling or WiFi calling.

ATT is not my carrier, I carrier unlocked the phone and have only used the phone with a Tmobile SIM. I flashed the U firmware and the Tmobile modem firmware on it and I have seen better reception then when I had the ATT firmware installed opposed to the U firmware with the Tmobile Modem. VOLTE is not stated on the signal but the quality is the same as VoLTE of course there would need to be testing done on my end to prove if it is indeed working as VoLTE. Any suggestions? Would love to contribute with this.
EDIT: Unless of course you were asking if VoLTE was working with ATT on the ufirmware and if this is just ATT specific and if it is the case then my post wouldn't have much addition to the thread.

Calling isn't working?

Every Rom I tried on my GALAXY S4, lately my calling hasn't worked at all on any of the Roms, I would open the phone app trying to call Voicemail and nothing happens, it doesn't ring or nothing just a long pause and a single beep?. I tried finding ways online how to fix it but so far no luck :-/, has anyone found a solution to fix it? Because Im actually so lost on what to do about it right now.

This happens when running the latest stock ROM? Phone shows the correct IMEI from the dialler?

Yeah like my texting and data works fine it's just the calling that doesn't work, and I'm just like lost now and ran out of ideas, like when I go in the settings and go under phone info and it shows I'm connected to mobile network and IMEI info is still the same from stock ROM.

I'm stumped. The sim is working since text and data work.
Is the phone being used with the carrier that issued the phone or was the phone purchased outright and unlocked?

It was originally by telus Canada variant, but recently in Canada they made it free to get your phone unlocked under certain conditions, so I called telus and they unlocked it for me to be world wide, because my phone is actually so simaler to the US and European variant, on how they are built so I Flashed TWRP GT-i9505 on it and now so now I'm running XOSP-UNOFFICAL-20180114-JFLTEXX and everything works except calling, right now that's how I'm responding to this thread is by mobile data.

Yes, the sgh-337m (Canadian variant) and GT-i9505 are very similar but the radio bands supported by each model is different. Maybe certain radio bands need to be unlocked or enabled for voice?
You could try this website to check compatibility with a stock i337m ROM: https://willmyphonework.net/

I am using Freedom mobile is my current service provider, not the biggest company but they are growing. OK I'll look at that link

Did you modify the radio bands to enable AWS for Freedom? I know they are expanding their LTE network to bring LTE to phones that previously worked on 3g only like the iPhone 6s a1688.

Modify Bands? May you describe what that is and how? Because I didn't modify anything all I did one day was Flashed stock ROM via Odin from SamMobile and ever since them my IMEI hanged or anything

Freedom frequencies aren't supported by the i337m. The freedom version of the s4 is the sgh-m919v.

I just noticed now but in the screenshot of "mobile network state" that it says "disconnected" now I'm confused. About my phone is GT-I337M is the original model name.

I think it may be a kernel issue. Is the phone running the kernel included with the rom?

I never actually knew the differences were between a Rom and a kernel? For a while ithought they were the same, hold on I'll take a screenshot of it.

Flashing T-mobile firmware on Verizon s10+

Hello,
I had a s8+ and I was able to re-brand it from AT&T to T-mobile; although I don't remember the exact process. I recently got an S10+ Verizon from my boss and I have it carrier unlocked and running on T-mobile. I was wondering if you can flash T-Mobile branded firmware so I can get access to WiFi Calling and the built in visual voicemail. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thank you. Do you know if the hardware is the same for the verizon and tmobile phones? with it just unlocked and with the tmobile chip the signal wasn't as high. I'm hoping when I flash it with t-mobile firmware it flashes the radios to use the tmobile bands as well.

Yes, you get the correct bands. I compared before and after.
