Hi Folks,
I am having problems with the flashing process of my s7 edge china phone. I have been reading through the forums trying to find the solution but just cant seem to find one.
Is the an idiots guide anywhere on how to do this that i just cant find? Or can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Hi and welcome to XDA. You should first make yourself familiar with the rules.
Regarding your issue, I'm afraid you won't find anything useful in the original S7 Edge forums. The S7 Edge forums are entirely dedicated to the original S7 Edge Exynos and Snapdragon variants. Firmwares and almost all mods here are not compatible with any other device. If you tell us the exact brand, model name/number and CPU we might help you find the right forums where you can find help.

Thanks for the reply.
What would be the best way to find out that info? Would a screen shot from mtk tools provide everything?
All help is very welcome.

I'm not sure. I don't know anything about MediaTek devices. Just go ahead and post it.

Hey guys I have a Canadian Note 4 and am unsure how to go about rooting it. I have rooted and installed custom roms on various android devices in the past. This time though I am not seeing N910W-8 around the forums very much. Am I simply not seeing something or is my phone model not supported?
Links to the guides and such is all I really need. Any further information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a ton XDA!
Look in the T-Mobile threads.. the W8 is interchangeable with the tmo.. Just need to flash a W8 kernel before you boot.
Is there ANYONE who can provide a list of ROMS compatible with my Note 4 .. I have tried a few and HATE I cant use other roms meant for ALL Note 4's. I have a snapdragon Note 4 I was really hoping any and or all snapdragons would be able to be used with my device but im guessing this is not the case ... hence why im asking whats compatible???

Please post in question and answer section. Post reported.
Am I right in saying your model is the verizon variant ? This thread might be interesting for you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/general/howto-converting-retail-note-4-to-t3358957
Plus there is a verizon forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon
Is this reply for me? If so THANK YOU atleast someone is nice around here. Im afraid to offend #Crimsonthunder they seem a bit touchy and already got me into trouble so I need to watch what I say LOL.
I already follow the Verzon forum ... I was hoping since I had snaldragon I could flash any and or all snapdragon ROMS ... seems that is not true. I have flashed a few others that were meant for SM-N910F phones and they worked.

I have been scouring the threads .. I haven't found 1 ROM I fell in love with I thought I did and I am unable to use this ROM its for the F model Note 4. that's my dilemma I can use another F model ROM but not any in this forum ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev
Hi all, I've just joined and have just finished rooting my Samsung galaxy note 3 sm-n9007. I've tried searching on the net for custom rom but they all seem to be for other variants of the note 3. Can someone point me in the right direction. I did notice the cm14 rom but that was for sm-n9005 so I'm assuming it won't be compatible. In case you can't tell I'm far from being a pro at this sort of thing but just wanted to try a different rom out as I'm sick of Android 5.0. Thanks in advance, Michael.
Hi there,
I will move your thread in the correct forum dedicated to Galaxy Note 3 Q&A for more relevant answers.
Good luck
You may have difficulty with that model .

Thanks, yeah it does seem like that. There's plenty for the n9005 but I'm assuming I can't use those rooms on my n9005?

Be sure to open up the ROM post on the forum and read the compatibility list. In most cases, they use N9005 as a base but it also might be compatible with other variants
For example I'm using an n7 port which only mentions compatibility with the N9005 (but it does not say EXCLUSIVE for the N9005) but as I kept reading on the same post, I learned that the N900T (my variant) is also supported to install
So please read the forum carefully and/or use the search function on that thread. You'd be surprised to know how many people have asked if their Note 3 variant is also supported
Hope this helps!

Hi Guys,
I'm wondering if its possible to flash UK/EU stock rom on my S7 that I got from USA. Ideally I want to get rid of the usual bloatware that comes preinstalled from Sprint.
Now my question is that If I managed to flash EU/UK rom, would I still be able to get updates notification as and when Samsung release updates over the air...? Please send me in right direction.
I really appreciate your time and efforts.
Many thanks guys in advance for your help.
anyone up for help please....

You cannot, as the Sprint Galaxy S7 has a locked boot-loader and a Snapdragon chipsets, while the UK/EU variants have a unlockable bootloader and an Exynos chipset. So no, you cannot flash those roms on this phone. However, you can flash the U firmware (find it here: http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=48A2011F925C11E7963AFA163EE8F90B ) which will work perfectly with this device, and has no sprint bloatware.
Many thanks for clarification buddy. I really appreciate your help.

Hey mate, your device model indicates its a verizon one. This forum is for international exynos variant. Always search for your correct forums before posting. Ask it here :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/help
Even this sub forum is for guides etc, not for help. Please post in relevant forums and subforums to get applicable solutions. And be sure to read the rules if you are a new user
As for your question, search or post on your relevant forum, your model has snapdragon processor and it has a locked bootloader. There was a method to root snapdragon variants using engineering kernel etc but I am not updated with the latest development on snapdragon variants. Search on your relevant forum for more info. Good luck
