Sorry for not answering your question. How did you convert your device to G935F?

hi:
I converted the phone by flashing a special ROM then I rooted the phone, then there was a special file which worked on converting the phone from V to F.
Could you describe your steps and provide download links?
Not really possible considering the 935F uses a entirely different chipset, the G935V uses Snapdragon 820 and the G935F uses a Exynos 8890, that would never work. Perhaps you are thinking of the G935U firmware?

do ya have the links where can download special ROM
G935V to G935U
I would like to know if this can be done on my Verizon Galaxy S7 Edge G935V (Android 8.0) except
I want to convert it to the G935U to be more compatible with AT&T.
I read somewhere the hardware is the same for all U.S. versions of the S7 Edge, regardless of Verizon, AT&T, etc.
I have the phone working on Straight Talk using their AT&T sim.
Changed it from CDMA to GSM and added the APN info for Straight Talk.
The phone works but is missing LTE band 17, the one used in my area.
It uses another tower but the signal is really weak. Band 17 is really popular
LTE and in my area and the phone is sort of crippled without it.
I have read the G935U firmware for AT&T solves that problem. I am
assuming the phone would be unlocked too after flashing.
The phone currently is unlocked on the GSM side.
I have downloaded ODIN, Samsung S7 Edge drivers, and the G935U for AT&T w/ Android 8.0
Any tips or pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks, Ken

I would like to know if it's possible to flash the firmware for
T-mobile I'm looking to leave verizon I know that the Verizon variant does not have 2 of the lte bands that T-mobile uses can I use Odin to Flash the 935t firmware to get the band's or am I asking something that is not possible. Thanks in advance

The answer is NO you're asking firmware to replace/add hardware and that's not possible
I have a Verizon branded s7 edge and used Odin to load the 935U PI3 firmware. I am on T-Mo now and do have LTE band 12 working (validated with LTE Discovery). The research that I did found that the US variants have all the radios in them, but some carrier variants of firmware disable certain bands. By doing the 935U firmware, I also got rid of the notice on every reboot that I was using a non-Verizon SIM. So I now have all T-mo bands and no stupid SIM message.

I can vouch for same experience as SF-IT guy. I bought a G935V and flashed with G935U firmware via odin. Works on T-mobile, even wifi calling works. Currently on the latest PI3 version of G935U firmware. I would that you search the forum to see if you can flash the G935T firmware directly. The only downside of using G935U firmware is that the FM radio chip is not enabled in the firmware. I read that the all the carrier versions (September security patch and newer) of the G935 firmware have the FM radio chip enabled. I prefer the 935U version because it there is not carrier bloatware. Samsung bloatware is still there.

So what would the FM radio chip do? Just enable FM radios is all? Because if that's the downside then it's not a major setback as not too many people use the FM radio.
I don't think you can

You definitely can. All US versions of the S7 & S7 Edge are the same hardware and can be flashed to any other US firmware. (including the U firmware that automatically works on all 4 carriers)

So what you're saying is that flashing the U version firmware will unlock by default all 930"X" and 935"X" phones? As in it just unlocks the mofo and debloats some while you're at it?
What's the catch? It seems too easy

Bloat is definitely gone on the U firmware, which is great. My phone runs faster and has more free space too.
I think some carrier features aren't supported on the U firmware. On T-mobile everything works (VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling), but I think AT&T might have some issues with those.
If the phone is SIM locked to a particular carrier, I'm not sure that automatically gets turned off or not when you switch to the U firmware. You might need to contact your carrier first to get an unlock code?

What if I got a temporary unlock from t-mobile unlock app and then flashed this firmware? Would it make it permanent? Seems quite possible, but I don't know if the temporary unlock actually unlocks the phone or just inserts a bypass that would disappear if flashed.

I unlocked my US TMo phone when stock, rooted, and am running Echoe - which has a glitch where WiFi calling sort of works (can receive calls but not make them). In the TMo forum, there are threads on U - your comments here are more specific to what I am interested.
Which U firmware are you on and are you rooted (is is updated to latest v4 bootloader version), and did you have to ODIN and full wipe with CSC or did you get by with CSC Home to preserve data?
Also, are you on U CP or did you flash TMo CP to get all the bands?.

hello all ,
I just ordered a g935v on ebay a few days ago , it's still on the way , while I am planning to use circket wireless(att mnvo) on it.
As a common sense , flashing to g935u seems like the best choice , until the nougat for g935v is released recently and g935u still on mm ....
so , my question is , will it work if I flash it to g935t ? Or any advice will be appreciated.
I am worrying about the LTE BAND 17.
thanks.

Bad news :As far as I know since cricket uses AT&T there will be incompatibility issues.
Using will my phone work it says that you will have no 2G support, 3G says it will work, but 4G says "Device is compatible with some of the network carriers frequencies. It may work."
However it is missing 2 bands that AT&T uses for high speed LTE so you will not get high speed LTE so you might not get anything faster than UMTS/3G.

I don't suggest to flash any provider rom on U model. You'll loose LTE-CA. You'll only have 1 channel LTE. If you want to use any carrier rom and have LTE-CA, get that carrier phone.

HI Folks
I have heard that Samsung S7 edge on Verizon is by default GSM SIM unlocked. Is this correct ? dont we have to do any unlock or similar process to allow GSM sim cards to work from other carriers both domestic and international. Any limitations on this compared to a truly unlocked phone when talking of GSM/LTE features only ?
Thanks
Yes bro! It is unlocked in default. I am staying in India. I have imported s7 edge sm-g935v. It is now on android 7.p. But problem is, it has Verizon bloatware, Verizon apps, Verizon boot up logo, also say sin card is not from Verizon when I use local GSM sim card.
All the calls, messages, work perfectly. Problem is mobile data don't work properly. I tried setting internet configuration manually. Play store and apps work. But browsing internet on any browser don't work.
Let me know if there is any way to use firmware completely free from Verizon. It's annoying man!

To remove the bloatware just install the Stock 935U firmware. That will remove all the verizon bloatware. Not to sure about the unlocking. I have heard both versions, that is GSM unlocked by default and it is locked and cannot be used on any other GSM network either.
So i have s7 edge verizon and i am currently in india. i got a vodafone sim card and it was working but the network wasn't stable. all of a sudden i cant access any network on the phone but when i insert a sim card i brought along fro africa i get roaming network.. can anyone assist? thank you

I have a SM-G935V (S7 EDGE VERIZON) USA. This is what I did, I put the Sim card in another phone (T-mobile) S7 edge, then copied the APN Network verbatim. Put the Sim back into my Verizon phone and been doing ok for almost 2yrs. The data does drop when you make or recieve a call or text message. Service is very spotty, majority of the time. If anyone knows if there is a stable rom for this situation, please let me know, I'm still on pb5

Verizon models lock out certain LTE bands from use that the network does not use, simply flashing the G935U firmware would be the best bet as it will unlock all available bands and remove all the Verizon carrier bloatware. When i first had my Verizon S7 G930V i was not able to get band 12 on T-Mobile, now that i flashed the G930U firmware i get all the bands and carrier aggregation i wasn't able to before. Same goes for the G935V and U models.

I just used my SM-G935V in Japan with a Y!Mobile SIM card for 6 months with 0 issues. Granted, I only used it for data, but it worked exactly as I would have expected. We did have to manually input the APN info, but the Y!Mobile sales associate helped me out with it.

I'm getting updates fine on both s7 and s7 edge, i have the latest March patch as well.
i had the same problems with verizon's s7 edge in dominican republic. pop up messages told me it's not a verizon sim card and data and internet would not work. then I downloaded sm-g935U international, carrier-less rom and installed it on my phone. all of the sudden my phone became a generic s7edge phone without the verizon crap apps. no more pop up and everything worked fine right from the beginning. data and internet work flawlessly and phone became a super phone.
Love my s7 edge.
Would you know if flashing the g935U firmware would also add LTE bands 12 and 17? I want the phone to be more
compatible with AT&T. Band 17 LTE is used in my area. My Verizon Galaxy S7 Edge G935V is at Android 8.0

I have this same question. My son has my old SM-G935V bought from Verizon, but it hasn't been connected to any service. I'm looking to connect it now that he's older, but I'm not paying the $XX /m Verizon wants to add a line for my kid, so I'm looking at Mint Mobile @ $15/m. I found these U firmwares:
Samsung firmware download - find All Official Android & Samsung Updates | updato.com
Are you looking for the official Samsung software to download? At updato.com, you'll find the latest Android device updates. Check on your own!
updato.com
But, which one? Do I use the Verizon one because it's a Verizon phone originally, or do I use the Tmobile firmware since Mint runs on the Tmobile network? Thanks.
UPDATE: Nevermind, I went with the T-mobile marked ROM and it worked flawlessly, at leas to connect to Mint, the service itself is garbage though so I'm going to try ATT ROM with Boost next.
I just purchased an unlocked S8+ from Samsung to use on AT&T in the U.S.
Do I need to do anything to the phone to be able to use all of the AT&Ts features/ VoLTE / get OTA updates timely?
Any help is appreciated!
I was not able to get any of the features on AT&T (including voice over lte).
The updates will not be coming from AT&T, they come straight from Samsung.
Basically you bought a phone that can work on AT&T, everything that got to do with the phone is not related to AT&T and not it's responsibility.

I'm not seeing the att portion in that thread..
and this flashing, does it wipe the phone and you have US att and the 950U1 and it then still worked for the USA att? (giving hd voice)? (need hd voice for s3 watch and numbersync to work apparently)
I just picked up a used s7 edge from a at&t customer, every thing that I could find said once unlocked it would work on any network. I unlocked it via at&t, checked that it works on an at&t sim and Tmobile but it is not working on my Verizon sim and their techs can get it to work either.
Will an At&t s7 edge work on a Verizon network? if so how? Or should I find a different phone?
Thanks
Andy
That is an interesting question. I believe all the US based Snapdragon S7 and S7 Edges have the same hardware, so you would just need to flash Verizon or unlocked firmware over the AT&T image. That part is confirmed, as people have gone from V to U and A, and A to U and V. If I were you, I'd probably go for the unbranded firmware, but that's a personal preference.
The real trick is getting Verizon to properly provision it.
At&t is gsm and Verizon is cdma not compatible with cdma you need to give carrier imei that's how cdma works not just with SIM card

The US (Snapdragon) S7 and S7 edge share the same physical hardware. There is a better than average chance that if he flashes the U or V firmware, and can get Verizon to put on their network, it will fly.
G935T to G935A

That is an interesting question. I believe all the US based Snapdragon S7 and S7 Edges have the same hardware, so you would just need to flash Verizon or unlocked firmware over the AT&T image. That part is confirmed, as people have gone from V to U and A, and A to U and V. If I were you, I'd probably go for the unbranded firmware, but that's a personal preference.
The real trick is getting Verizon to properly provision it.

Question: to convert from one firmware to another do I have to install U first? I want to convert my G935T to G935A to be able to use wi-fi calling. My phone is unlocked and everything works on At&t except for wi-fi calling (Or VoLte as I see it referred to often)

If this is your first device with AT&T to support WiFi calling, you may have to get a new SIM (or get your current SIM provisioned correctly).
So are you saying I don't need to install the G935A firmware?
