Would it be possible to run a Galaxy S7 G930F with say a flash of the G930U firmware and open up the other LTE bands to use with Sprint?
Either that or is there any news on a possible root with the latest G930P bootloader? I didn't think there was any root options for the G930P's previous firmware so I upgraded it as it came out...

I am trying to start a thread for our Qualcomm s7 for firmware flashing of other variants ,so mods please be patient as the s7 development is a little slow , I am confirming that Verizon and sprint are interchangeable according to another thread and a rom Being flashed that wasn't version or sprint, I have seen that the g930u firmware can be flashed to all other Qualcomm devices , I have recently flashed pg9 with errors to g930p so I was unsuccessful, if anyone would help and give more insights on how they flashed there s7 to other carriers using firmware flashing on odin,there is also a way to unlock more bands for lte on our devices

Who then got to flash the Sprint phone firmware from the Verizon?
Interested in the possibility of installing the firmware from G935v in G935p
In November last year I bought a factory refurbished Galaxy S7 with the Snapdragon chip which came saying it was a G930F. However, I have come to realise that the G930F is not an actual model of the S7 and is simply a Verizon S7 which had the firmware debranded but will not receive OTA updates because it is not recognised as a real version. Is there anything I can do about this?
F is the international model that does not use the snapdragon processor and can unlock the bootloader. The U model is the US varient that uses the snapdragon processor and is bootloader locked.

All you can do is flash the latest G930V (Verizon branded) or G930U (Debranded) stock firmware using ODIN 3.12.7 or newer
But double check in download mode which model it shows there first, likely it will show G930V in which case either of the above firmwares will work fine
Or take it back and get your money back / demand the G930F
How do I flash this ROM?
I am swapping over to Cricket this week and am currently on Tmobile firmware.
Can I flash using the G930-AZ firmware and get HD Voice/wifi calling/etc on my Edge or is it incompatible? Or just flash AT&T firmware to my phone? I can't find any G935AZ firmware anywhere. Don't believe Cricket supports the Edge variant.

As long as the firmware number is the same or higher, yes. You may need a custom version of ODIN that doesn't check the OS on the device, but any US model can run any US version of firmware. I converted mine a short while after I bought it and it's been running 935U firmware ever since. I would warn you that you can't downgrade the bootloader, but in this case the A firmware is almost invariably more recent than the U firmware so this isn't an issue. (That said, you will have to run firmware built around BL8 or later if you do the upgrade)
