Hello, can I flash Sprint firmrware on AT&T Note 7 phone?
I did on T-Mobile version, but I need to be sure because I don´t want to kill my phone.
Thanks
Both are qualcomm chipset, but I don't know for sure if is safe
I already flashed Sprint firmware on T-mobile variant, but I dont know if it´s safe to flash it on A&T variant

Hello everyone,
yesterday, a family member gifted me an s7 from the USA (SM-G930P). He bought the phone off SPRINT as a SPRINT unlocked version, and, of course, because I live in Europe and want to use the phone with a European SIM card I have the "hands free activation" mark that is sitting on the top left edge of the display. I also noticed some changes, for example the "mobile data" toggle is nowhere to be found and also I don't have the options to choose the network mode (2G/3G/4G). I love the phone and I also would like to keep using it, I only need some answers from you guys.
My first question is, if the phone will actually let me use 4G network with my European SIM card, or will I be limited to 3G?
My second question is, If I can flash an international firmware for another carrier and another country on the phone, and if so, will I have the advantages of that firmware, like the Mobile Data Toggle??
Thank you very much for your answers.
If you install the 'Network' app you might be able to change the network type.
In general you should be able to use an unlocked P variant with a foreign SIM but you may have to activate with a Sprint SIM first.
You can't flash the international version since it's Exynos and the P version is Qualcomm CPU.
I am not sure if this model has Samsung region lock which is another thing to consider.
If I was you I would try to flash the U firmware (US unlocked) as it has the most support for international 4G bands among the Qualcomm US models. It also doesn't have all of the Sprint bloatware on it.

Thank you for your reply. I am currently using the European Sim from my carrier and I have no problems with it. I managed to get rid of the Bloatware by using Package Disabler Pro, but it still sits there somewhere on my phone. So far, the phone is working very well and other than the bloat sitting on my memory and the lack of LTE, I have no complaints.
Can you tell me if someone has tried to flash the U firmware on a P model with success?

Could you tell me how you did it, or link me a guide??
I had bought an unlocked Sprint galaxy S7 (930P) off ebay which died on me. Got it repaired from the service center and they sent me a locked device instead. The phone is currently on Software Version - G930PVPS4BQC1 and the hardware revision is Rev 0.6. I'll be using the phone in India and have a few questions.
1. I need to get this SIM unlocked from a service online. Does anyone know of a reliable place to do so?
2. If I flash the U Rom on it after unlocking it, will I lose the unlock? (I don't mind downgrading from Nougat to Marshmallow)
3. Should I unlock first then flash the ROM or flash the ROM first and then try to get it unlocked?
4. Will flashing the ROM directly unlock the phone itself?
Please advise.
...
you could try gsm zambia to unlock your phone it works i tried it myself a few days ago, also after my phone got unlocked i flash the U firmware/rom and the unlocked remained. so you should unlock your device first then flash the U firmware :good:
PS. if you one nougat better to downgrade if you can do marshmallow so when you wont have any issues flashing to U firmware. :cool

Hello,
As the title says, I'd like to flash the tmobile stock rom or perhaps the tmobile variant of the SM-G935U on my SM-G935FD. Tmobile is my service provider and I'd like to be able to use wifi calling and samsung pay. I know I can flash these roms without issue, but I was wondering if it would be possible to revert back to stock SM-G935FD firmware, since the tmobile ones have locked bootloaders.
Would it be possible to either flash stock SM-G935FD again or do a hard factory reset?

You cant do it, odin will not allow the wrong firmware to be flashed.
And in the this case your talking about flashing firmware from a snapdragon devcie onto a exynos device.
That alone should have been enough to realize its not happening.
Your far better off with exynos anyway, locked bootloader on the snapdragon version...that is crap

You can setup and use Samsung Pay on an international device -- check the Samsung Pay thread . I have the DBT (germany) CSC on my phone; before that I had XSG (Saudi Arabia); and both times I have successfully used Samsung Pay.
Wifi Calling won't work AFAIK.
Currently have a stock N910W8 (Unlocked, Telstra branding), thinking it would be a direct unlocked replacement for my N910T (T-Mobile USA SIM). However the N910W8 can't get 4GLTE no matter how many adjustments I make to the APN
The model number printed in the battery slot is the same, N910T. I thought this would be an easy switch.
I tried flashing the stock N910T firmware via ODIN but was unsuccesful. Kept getting a secure check fail about error using stock N910T DOK2 BL/CP and N910T EPK firmware. Do I not have the right versions?
Is there any other way to do this through ODIN without installing a recovery and rooting? Is it even possible?

Without root its impossible.
You need a modified custom rom from n910t that is compatible with n910w8.
in order to do that you need root and twrp recovery installed.
I beleive LTE bands are different in both models even if you flash n910t rom not sure you will get LTE.
And for wifi calling you will require N910T modem and with N910W8 its not compatible.

WiFi calling I can deal without, LTE I cant.
Just throwing it out there, why can't one flash N910T firmware on an N910TW8? The hardware between an N910W8 model is literally no different, the model number on the sticker of the N910W8 is N910T. It's not like I'm expecting N910T firmware to run on a Verizon or Sprint model.
There has to be some method to essentially brick a N910W8, removing all trace of N910W8 firmware, CP/CSC/BL data, then install N910T firmware and have it wake up in N910T hardware. Anyone?

Were you able to flash the Stock T-Mobile ROM to the W8 or did you have to root? I'm in the US and even after playing with all the settings the max Down/Up speeds I saw were 2Mbps/0.1Mbps on the Telstra N910W8, compared to my previous 50Mbps/50Mbps on the Tmo N910T.
No you will have to root....easy just flast team win with odin....then download su.zip and flash with your new recovery......why wouldnt you want to root?.......hell i still have my n910w8 motherboard rooted with custem rom if you interested in an extra. ..hope i dont get in trouble for saying that
I prefer to keep it unrooted for the OTA updates. Don't get that with root, updating would just be one more thing to keep up with.
Yes but me personally, like to update when i want to not when they decided i have postponed the update long enough and the next thing you know ur phones updated and u didnt get to have a say in it...but thats just me....not to mention first thing after root is removing all the blot and stupid apps ill never use...back ups are a life saver...iv bricked a device 6 or 7 times in a 12 hour period. ...
1. What about flashing the N910T PIT file along with the PDA, CSC, BL, and CP files for the N910T? What will stop this from succeeding?
2. What about a JTAG service?
3. Is there a differencertain between what ODIN does and using an unbrick image from a N910t from the SD card after a hard brick?
Open to anything at this point, except of course, using a 910TW8 firmware on 910T hardware which is all this is.

Hello There,
I have purchased a Samsung S7 on ebay, they sent Sm-930A instead of SM-930F, I am stuck with this phone now and I can not use any of ATT services as I am outside USA.

This firmware is the unbloated rom, it does not have any carrier bloat. The SM-G930F uses an exynos chip and you cannot flash g930f firmware on the g930a. AT&T and US S7s are all qualcomm chips.
Hello there,
Although I'm new, I have experienced trying to flash the "F" firmware to USA qualcomm Galaxy S7 (SM-G930P with "U" firmware) phone and it will not work.
The SM-G930F uses the Exynos chip while SM-G930A uses Qualcomm.
Hey guys,
I am currently on Samsung S10+ in Canada, which has a single SIM and unlocked. As I need a dual SIM now, I am planning to sell it off and get an international model with dual sim.
My question is: Do I need to change the new phone's firmware to Canada to get OTA official updates? Can it be changed?
Thanks!
The answer is no. You cannot flash the Canadian firmware on the international version. For starters, the international version is Exynos chip. Also, Samsung Pay will not work in Canada with the international version.

Thanks so much for the reply! So what about updates? Will I still be able to get them without changing the Firmware (as you mentioned I can't anyways)? Yes, heard about Samsung Pay, but I don't use it much so that should be ok. But I wish we had an option for Dual SIMS here in Canada
Thanks again!
You will not be able to get Canadian OTA updates. You will have to download international firmware releases compatible with your device and flash them.

You will get updates normally but not same as the Canidian model. so if local s10 get update dosent me you will and same way other way. When ur model code has an update you will receive it ... so dont worry u can buy and you will get OTA normally ... or you can flash other FW on it but i dont know about snap and exn .. I always flash my Brazilian s10+ with eurpian verison and leave HOME CSC so SamsungPay still brazilian.
