G950X to G950F, can I root and unlock bootloader? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hello mates. I would like to ask, because I just flashed my S8 LDU (G950X) with a G950F stock firmware. Everything works just fine, well except for cellular network. If it is possible to unlock bootloader, root, and install a custom ROM using the same methods as the G950F?

Can you give a link for the firmware you flashed in G950X ? Does the biometrics work after flashing?
It will be a great help I can't find anything and now answer to your question
Cellular network doesn't work in it because it has no bands for network transmission. You can just change you logic than it will be possible to use cellular network

Galaxy S5 G900W8 cant enable LTE (ex. Wind Mobile phone)

Hi there,
Im not sure if this was discussed about this particular situation.
I recently switched from Wind mobile to Fido which offers LTE connection. Unfortunately Wind disabled Lte network mode And the only mode I can connect to is 3g.
I have rooted the phone and tried various methods on how to enable LTE
including guide on xda how to enable all bands.
The only thing i have not tried is flashing new modem firmware.
Here is my question:
1. Would flashing new modem firmware enable lte network mode?
if so which modem firmware should i use and is there a guide?
2. Would upgrading to new rom solve the issue?
Please help me, thank you for any suggestions.
Senya
Anyone?
U can use videotron or Unknow Firmewire on Sammobile u will get LTE enable already

Will flashing a new ROM on a CDMA unlocked US Cellular variant relock the phone?

Hi,
Tomorrow, I will be paying a visit to the US Cellular store so that they can unlock my phone for use on GSM networks. I usually run the unofficial build of CyanogenMod 12.1. But I learned that in order for them to unlock it I must be on stock. My question is: after I get it unlocked, will I be able to flash back to my backup of CyanogenMod without relocking the phone? I know on full GSM phones it's more of a hardware thing. But I want to be sure once it's unlocked that it's permanent.
(Also, I forgot to mention it's the US Cellular variant of the Galaxy S5)
Thank you!!
ROMs don't affect SIM lock afaik, or you'd be able to unlock them with a custom ROM too

Change verizon rom to international rom

Hi people,
Can i flash international rom on a Verizon galaxy S5?
If yes, how can it be done?
Thanks!
To install international G900F rom, must be bootloader unlocked:
Same way as flashing a normal kltevzw/G900V rom, find a klte/G900F rom and flash it. Any incompatibility warnings are probably outdated, but be careful, and remember, you can't make too many backups.
Just know that you won't be able to use CDMA networks (Verizon is CDMA).
To enable 4G/Phone service in other countries, works with locked bootloader:
You're stuck with the G900V rom. If you're just looking to get support for extra bands in other countries, look into GalaxyTools by Idoneapps. It can give you international support on most existing roms, stock or not. Kinda hard to use but you'll get used to it.
Both methods will most likely require some APN settings modifications.
If your cat suddenly gets eaten or you need clarification, I'd be glad to help.
(You weren't too clear on your request - I didn't know if you wanted an international rom or international support, so I tried to include both.)
I have G900V model but I do not have verizon services in my country. I wanted to get rid of verizon rom as it's of no use to me. Therefore I was looking for a intrenational varient. I am running MM6.0.1 with rooted and bootloader unlocked. Will flashing a G900F rom again lock the bootloader.
How to proceed withave the process. Please help.

G950F model with T-Mobile US

Hello is there a way to flash the T-Mobile (G950U) firmware onto a G950F model phone or change the CSC without root? While the phone is working, I do not believe it is able to take advantage of carrier aggregation and VoLTE without the proper region code for my area. Wondering if there is any way to achieve this? Thank you.
You want to flash snapdragon firmware on an exynos phone? You sure?
I'd like to know this too...
so is this not possible??
Guess I went the wrong route by purchasing an unlocked phone to use on the Tmobile network. the internet is sooooo slow...

Vodafone Germany on SM-G935T

Hey guys! I brought my unlocked T-Mobile USA S7 Edge to Germany and it works fine with either Vodafone or Telekom, but no Wi-Fi Calling works. They suggested me to get one of their phones but since I had to fully pay for this device to get it unlocked I don't want to throw 800 bucks away like that.
Is there a way to get this to work? Is it possible to flash a different CP / Modem / Radio / Firmware that could potentially get this working? I know the bootloader is locked but I'm not sure if there are any workarounds as I've seen people successfully getting G935U firmware to work on their unlocked T Mobile S7E.
Any advice? Thanks in advance!
Anyone? ?
You can easily flash "T" model with "U" firmware - been there, works well.
What do you mean by wifi calling? Ggl duo/hangouts, whatsapp, all that kind of apps work fine on whichever firmware.
PS. Flashing T/U versions works even if your bootloader is locked (mine is).
Hey!
Thank you for your reply. I managed to Flash the U Firmware but WiFi Calling or VOLTE still won't work. I can over whatsapp and it's cool I guess but would be good especially when calling some people overseas who don't UE whatsapp as wifi calling means no international roaming charges.
That or also the ability to just flash about any custom Roms would be cool too.
