Hi guys, have a quick question. i have Samsung Galaxy s7 on qc1 firmware rooted it is really lagging and battery drains fast, is it possible for me to flash U firmware? and could you tell me what guide to use.Thank You.
As far as I know, anyone with one of the US S7 variants can flash the U firmware on their device. The first post in the following thread should tell you what you need to know: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s7/help/bloat-free-firmware-930u-tried-t3428974
I found root to be as clunky on U firmware as it was on the P firmware that came loaded on my phone.

I own an International Samsung S5 (Exynos Variant) So i was wondering if i could install the S5 Neo firmware on my phone as it is on Lollipop 5.1.1 and is far better performing than my sluggish lollipop 5.0
I am not a newbie to this just don't know what will happen if i flash different firmware. I am currently rooted and running a custom rom.

Greetings,
I've moved your question to your device's Q&A forum so you can get your question answered by the experts.
Most likely though, no, you shouldn't flash anything on your device that isn't specifically made for your device.
Good luck!
Thanks for replying! Its just that if somebody can tell me what are the main components of a rom like kernel, libraries,etc so that i can create a new rom or maybe just port some features of S6 but i need the help with framework.
Most definitely DO NOT flash firmware from another phone variant other than those designed for you model. You will encounter problems or brick your phone.
Hi there,
im looking for S5 (900F) international stock unrooted lollipop and stock marshmallow.

Hello I recently updated my galaxy s7 edge to nougat and it couldn't read sim anymore all I got was "emergency calls only" a friend of mine helped he rooted it and downgraded it to marshmallow, now I am stuck on marshmallow I can no longer get OTA updates which means I can't change my screen resolution anymore coz this function seems to be in nougat only any help xda saviours??
why did you get that error in the first place? ?
download a nougat rom from http://sammobile.com and flash it on your device.
take note that you must only download the rom for your particular model. for example if you own a g935f, don't flash a g935fd rom.

I flashed that rom from sammobile the particular one for my sm-g935fd and that's wen the error came on so I am downgraded to marshmallow rooted and stuck here, I loved the adjusting screen resolution on nougat but can't have it anymore
try a TouchWiz based custom rom like super stock rom. I hope it'll work fine on your phone. ?
Hello Everyone
I've been searching for some information regarding galaxy s7 edge at&t but i cannot find specific info related upgrading this phone from nougat 7.0 to oreo 8.0 ? My phone is unlocked so i'm using different carrier but i believe bootloader of the phone is still locked so i cannot flash custom recovery or custom roms. My intention is flashing official oreo 8.0. What is the official oreo for this model ? Actually there are some that i found on the forum but i'm a bit confused which one it is. Is it possible to flash official oreo 8.0 without unlocking bootloader via odin ( people say you cannot unlock bootloader of U.S. versions ) ? If it is possible how can i flash it ? will be appreciated for any suggestions .
Thank you
Search for androidfilehost on google enter the site and search for G935A and you could use the first file , i'm currently using it (you'll need odin if you want to flash it , if you want any help ask) Have fun!
Hello everyone.
I want to go from PartCyborgRom to stock S8+ (Or maybe to flash a better rom if one exists for this damn AT&t device)
I know he mentioned his ROM updated the bootloader to v2 so I can't just flash what I had before.
Hoping some intelligent kind soul can help me avoid crushing mistakes.
My soecs:
Samsung Galaxy S8+
SM-G955U
Android 7.0
Baseband G955USQU1AQK1
Build NRD90M-G955USQS2BQL1
Any advise is appreciated thank you.

man, you got rooted a while ago!! bootloader revision 2? yikes!! anyways, heres the unbranded S8 firmware. Get the Frija tool or Samfirm to download it in less than 33 lifetimes
What kind of benefits come from 9.0 Android on G955u?
Is it rootable without any compromises?
