Hi Guys, I am looking for some advice, I have a carrier unlocked s7 edge from Sprint ( our contract just ended and we called to unlock) that I would like to use Red pocket (at&t MVNO) GSMA service on. Would it be better to put the sim card in and activate on the stock sprint s7 edge software, OR should I try and find a stock at&t firmware on the device? Thanks for any advice!

I bought unlocked sprint s7 G930P that I'm using with metro PCS, but it's not letting me update the profile (progress circle keeps spinning and times out) and because of that I'm not getting the wifi hotspot option (
it's completely missing from the settings). How can I get it to work?
If it is a Unlocked Sprint S7, I recommend installing the G930U firmware onto it since Sprint Stock does not play well with other sim cards even though unlocked.
I traveled to another country and bought and linked a pre-paid SIM data card for my Samsung S7 Edge and incorrectly entered the network unlock code too many times, and now my phone is permanently locked to AT&T (U.S) network. I've contacted AT&T and they say there is nothing they can do... Is there a solution for this?
Might be best to post this in the AT&T thread?
So I just bought a Galaxy S7 Edge from a guy on Craigslist and already got rid of my other phone. It keeps saying that I need a Network Unlock Code. I have called Verizon (the carrier I'm trying to use it on) and T-Mobile (The carrier it used to be on) and they both keep telling me that I need to call the other carrier in order to get it and neither can help me. T-Mobile even told me to download a SIM unlock app and by the end of it it was trying to charge me $40 to send me an unlock code. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Search unlock code for s7edge in Google you will get a ton of sites that sell the code. You can get one for as low as 15 bucks and it should work as it did for mine on Canada's Bell network.
I was wondering if its possible to flash the T-Mobile firmware on to my sprint s7 edge.. My phone is unlocked and I currently have a T-Mobile sim in it and it works just fine but I hate having all the sprint bloat on the device since I'm no longer using the phone on sprint network.
I have Sprint phone working on T-Mobile service,
Whit T-Mobile firmware.
Just flash the T-Mobile firmware via Odin and everything
Going to be ok (like if you have a T-Mobile phone)
s7 edge SM-G935P
Does the phone need to be rooted to do this? I just moved to t-mobile from Sprint, and some functions like receiving MMS messages, don't work. Otherwise I love it.
All,
I have an original TMobile, Galaxy S8, G950U. I unlocked it through TMobile and I purchased a Straight Talk BYOP kit from the local Wally-Mart, and put the AT&T SIM into my S8.
I know there are a number of guides out there, to do carrier switching. Trust me I have downloaded GBs worth of carrier firmware and combination firmware, eng boot, what have you. Nothing has worked as far as allowing me to carrier switch.
Here is my issue. The building where I work sucks for Tmobile. It is a hardened building and TMobile's signal does not penetrate. AT&T and Verizon work great. I unlocked my phone through TMobile and was able to flash the unlocked firmware on it. But, in theory, this did not enable all the AT&T radios, because I have an AT&T work phone and it works fine in the same spot, but my S8 cannot send or receive calls, in the exact same spot.
The problem is that I am on Bootloader V3 and I cannot for the life of me find an EngBoot with V3, so I can do a carrier switch and flash the AT&T modem. If someone has been able to do this, or if I just suck at searching, then please let me know, I'll be glad to take the hit.
So if anyone can point me the right direction for BLV3 carrier switches, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks all, for looking and trying to help.
