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?.

Thanks everyone
So I've spent a few hours searching XDA to find the right resources on how to flash a different U.S. carrier's GS7 Edge firmware on the T-Mobile branded device. I found out that since all the internal hardware for all U.S. devices are identical, I'd be able to flash any one carrier's firmware on to any carrier's device, provided there are no inconsistencies with the bootloader versions of the firmwares.
The phone is intended for an extended family member and I am able to purchase a T-Mobile GS7 Edge for significantly cheaper than from any other carrier. Because it will be used on AT&T's network, I wanted to make sure I got everything right before I get started. I either want to flash the AT&T version which will allow it to be fully compatible on the network, or the Unlocked version. Apparently, the unlocked version is completely debloated since it's not associated with any carrier and provides better benchmarks, especially battery life, so I'm interested in that.
I've compiled the resources I need in the following:

http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=SM-G935U&order=date&dir=desc&exact=1
etc.
One question I have is whether I am able to flash the Unlocked firmware at all. I don't currently have the device in hand so I can't check the baseband version, but my understanding is that the Unlocked version is currently on a lower bootloader version whereas it is v4 for AT&T or T.Mobile. This would mean I would be able unable to flash the Unlocked firmware if the device already has a higher version of the bootloader, right? Conversely, I would be able to do so if the T-Mobile bootloader was on the same version as the Unlocked version (e.g., if the device hasn't had an update to its bootloader).. The same issue would arise if I wanted to go back to a carrier firmware. Where can I find a list of T-Mobile firmwares and their bootloader versions so that I can check? Threads I've searched are saying I can't go to 935U from 935A/T because of mismatching bootloaders but others are saying I can go back to 935A/T on Nougat (same bootloader versions?) so clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Just discovered the bootloader version can be determined by looking at the 9th character in the baseband version. Pretty simple!
Another question I have is whether flashing the AT&T firmware will give me VoLTE, Wifi Calling, tethering, etc. on AT&T's network. I've established that if I flashed the Unlocked firmware, I'll lose these functions (unless I root the phone, but that's a no-go since I need Samsung Pay intact). Just wanted to make sure that I would retain these features if I flashed the AT&T firmware on the T-Mobile device. Also, would I receive all OTAs pushed from AT&T while I'm on their firmware, even though it was a T-Mobile device? Or would I have to manually update it somehow?
Many thanks in advance.
Yes you can flash the unlocked firmware, I do recommend flashing the at&t CP (radio) though for better signal.
For tmobile all we lose is video calling, we retain everything else. I can't answer your other questions since I have not used this phone from tmobile on at&t. I have used the at&t model on tmobile with U and had no issues.

^^^^^this man is correct. Also, is the device you want to flash Carrier unlocked? Even though youre flashing a different carriers firmware or even the U firmware I believe the IMEI still needs to be unlocked from the original carrier. Obviously just pop the at&t sim card in the t mobile phone to see if its unlocked. hope this helps.

Yes, it'll be unlocked, so there won't be problems there. If I flash the AT&T firmware and not the Unlocked firmware, I will retain video calling, yes?

flashing the at&t firmware will just be like having an original at&t s7 edge so yes. The Unlocked firmware will be lighter with no video calling(no carrier apps, no carrier boot animation, some of the quick toggles will be different) you will retain VOLTE HD calling, wifi calling(if at&t has that) and with the at&t you will have all the bloat (about 2-3 GB of used storage plus more a tad bit more use on ram usage) which will use more battery. remember like stated above, if you do decide to flash the U firmware, make sure you flash the latest At&t CP being you will have better coverage since youll be on the at&t network.

I was able to flash back to T mobile from the U, I never tried anything with a At&t variant or the at&t firmware
I am also interested. If I flash
1) Will the device status remain "Unmodified" - I use Good for Enterprise for work email and it won't function on rooted or modified devices
2) Will Android Pay Work?
3) Will I get Software updates directly?

I Flashed an AT&T S7 Edge with T-Mobile firmware and:
1) Status remains unmodified
2) Android pay works (as well as Samsung pay)
3) I've already got 2 T-Mobile pushed firmware updates that installed without any issues.
Don't know if this helps, but I'd think it would be the same going from T-Mobile to AT&T.
I did also have to use a modified version of "ODIN" and flash a "PIT" file because T-Mobile has a different partition than AT&T.

Thanks! I am almost ready. Final checks
- I downloaded 935U firmware from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/4-28-t-mobile-935-firmware-t3597866 (File is G935UUEU4BQD2_G935UOYM4BQD2_TMB.zip)
- I am planning to use ODIN 3.12.7
- Since I am on ATT Network I will use ATT Radio (CP File). I downloaded ATT firmware from here => https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-s7-edge/how-to/odin-files-to-s4bqc2-g935a-t3582874
I will use this CP => CP_G935AUCS4BQC2_CL10280464_QB12904088_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
Am I doing everything right?
Should I just flash all U files (including Radio) and flash ATT Radio later?
Please advise
Hi team
I have the tmo ime version of the s7 edge, but flash the ATT firmware BQC2 and now I can not go back to tmobile firmware or the U firmware I got the following error in Odin:
Error device info
Who can help me,?I going to gift my s7 edge to my brother and he is on Tmobile network
Galaxy S7 active
I have a at&t Galaxy S7 active unlocked and i transfer my service to T-Mobile but I am not able to get updates can I flash T-Mobile firmware so I can have the T-Mobile interface and updates. What do I need to do to get the updates.
All US variants can flash the firmware interchangeably. Just download the corresponding firmware and flash everything(Except for the modem if you'd want to keep the original modem). You dont need anything special. If the default odin dont work, then try the comey "cracked" version.

Why is it that we use the CP for AT&T; however, use the Unlocked CP for TMobile? Are the radios the same for the unlocked and T-Mobile variants? Where would I get this information if I needed it in the future?
I have a GS7 edge locked to T-Mobile with the Device Unlock app. Will flashing G9350U firmware unlock my device and bypass the Device Unlock app or will I still need to use this app to unlock?
Radios are different. I flashed ATT Radio after I flashed U firmware. Though honestly I cannot tell the difference

OTA Update is not working after changing to U firmware.
I had stock T Mobile last firwmare installed, but I was sick of poor battery and lag
so installed this firmware https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/6-8-t-mobile-935u-firmware-qe2-t3619151, full wipe.
Now I have worst battery performance. 12% draining overnight (6 hours) without touching the phone at all. It shows a new update but it fails when I OTA update. looks like the update it's being installed but fails at the end. Don't know what's wrong but totally hate battery.
Edit: Android pay is also not working..

And can u tell me when the pie update will come for this device.
Also can i install pie beta on my phone? Bcoz its tells that it will work on snapdragon but doesnt tell att or t mobile or verizon...

Other firmwares will work you might just be missing features like WiFi calling. I don't know the exact dialer code but they is a preconfig dialer code to select csc so once you got the latest you could try that. All the firnwares are identical for each us model you wont brick from flashing another carriers
So thats yes right? I can use other carrier rom without any problem?

Yes, the thing is I don't have my carrier CSC available for download since I'm using it in Europe. Wondering if I need to revert flash how to source TGY (Hong Kong) factory rom? Seems all available for download are US-based CSCs only.
My main concern is OTA is currently failing completely, I am hoping to restore by moving away from the TGY code, does that need carrier switching process or just flash 950U1 on top including user data ?

Im pretty sure u1 model pretty much is csc-less i would try to flash the u1 firmware directly and flash the home csc in u1 firmware which should leave it open. BL" "AP" "CP" "CSC" is all you should flash. User data would add a carrier. If you dont it will leave it open.....
If updates are all your lookong for. Just use odin to manually update

You are either using the wrong odin or a older firmware.
Or. To flash unlocked firmware you must first flash the combination file then unlocked firmware.
I have a Sprint Galaxy s8, but I am no longer on Sprint.
Is it possible for me to flash the unlocked ROM, effectively making it SM-G950U1?

Only if Sprint unlocked the device through uicc unlock. If you flash u1 on a locked it's still stuck to the original carrier. As for guides there are several guides in the general section for carrier switching

Yes it is. I just did it yesterday. I was on G950USQS5CSB1 and didn't get wifi calling or VoLTE on Mint Mobile but after flashing G950U1 I now have them.
Since you say you are no longer on Sprint I assume you just want the unbranded G950U1 firmware.
Using samfirm on your computer putin G950U1 as phone and XAA as CSC and search. You should get G950U1UES5CSB2. It is the latest and has the same bootloader as you. Download it.
Download and use the 3B modded version of Odin.
Back up your phone as it will be wiped.
study here how to use Odin..... there are many guides
Use the CSC file not Home_CSC.
Have the sim of your current carrier in the phone when you flash.

Yes it is. I just did it yesterday. I was on G950USQS5CSB1 and didn't get wifi calling or VoLTE on Mint Mobile but after flashing G950U1 I now have them.
Since you say you are no longer on Sprint I assume you just want the unbranded G950U1 firmware.
Using samfirm on your computer putin G950U1 as phone and XAA as CSC and search. You should get G950U1UES5CSB2. It is the latest and has the same bootloader as you. Download it.
Download and use the 3B modded version of Odin.
Back up your phone as it will be wiped.
study here how to use Odin..... there are many guides

This is exactly what I'm doing. Switched to Mint, but don't heav Wifi or VoLTE. Glad to hear that G950U1 works with both those (was worried I would have to flash TMO to get it).
Thanks again!
Hey Everybody,
So I've come to realize that my unlocked US S10+ on AT&T didn't have VOLTE or Wifi calling as options in the communication/call settings menus. this is pretty disappointing as it seems that using the unlocked phone with Verizon you get these features, and they make a decent impact on my use of the phone.
My understanding is if I flash the ATT firmware to the phone I would get the functions, so being an amateur I followed some simple guides to SamFirm AND ODIN, and downloaded the ATT CSC firmware for my model number. However after going through the Odin process and resetting my phone it is still showing the same Software information as prior to my installation, and I do not have the features.
I saw a thread on the board stating that the ATT firmware isn't available yet, so I'm not sure if what I downloaded was actually any different than what is on my phone,and my phones "Service Provider Software Version" did already have ATT in the description, which is a bit confusing to me.
Am I correct in understanding the only way to get the features would be through a firmware flash? And would anyone know if I had flashed the right firmware, and what the original firmware CSC would be for my model if I needed to revert?
My information is:
Model Number:
SM-G975U1 (S10+ ceramic white 512GB - Unlocked US)
Service Provider SW ver.:
SOAMC_SM-G975U1_OYM_ATT_PP_0018
R38M205LY2B
ATT/ATT/XAA
Firmware file obtained from SamFirm:

If it's anything like the S9 was, you can't just ODIN the firmware/CSC. You'll just get the bloat with none of the features you want.

I've heard this as well. If you want those features on a Samsung phone, it has to be at&t branded. I ordered an at&t phone from Samsung since I make good use of wifi calling. It works fine on my unlocked P3XL but no dice on the Samsungs.
I have the same phone and service and when I went to update my imei they told me it could not find the phone. So I was without lte/4g for a day until I gave them a imei to a s8 active. Now I have data at least

So I have the same service provider software, on my unlocked s10+, however when I went into an ATT store and looked at a branded S10+
I noticed the service provider software version to be : SOAMC_SM-G975U1_OYM_ATT_PP_0033( thirty three at end),
so anyway to update the service provider version? does that come from the SIM ??
I have an unlocked S10 plus and I flashed the AT&T Firmware. I now have VoLTE and WiFi calling unlocked on my phone using AT&T. You need to make sure you flash the U version of the firmware, not the U1 one. Unlocked S10 is using the U1 firmware already so flashing that one again changes nothing.

Where did you get the att firmware?

I kinda doubt it but did any of you with unlocked phones that flashed the AT&T firmware get any better service? I've been considering it to get VOLTE but just wondered

I followed this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s10/how-to/att-ota-ota-updates-t3909697
At first like you I downloaded the wrong version and nothing changed. I finally flashed G975USQU1ASBA and now have VOLTE/WIFI Calling and of course all of the bloat. But at least those two functions are working. Make sure that you complete a clean flash when I did a dirty flash I had problems sticking on the loading screen.
I believe you just need to call in ATT to take care those carrier specific features .
Which firmware can I flash with Odin to my S10+ Xfinity Mobile unlocked to get AT&T OTA updates? Currently have ASF7 flashed from the latest unknown firmware uploaded to Sammobile. I flashed w/o USERDATA. I just want to be able to get future OTA updates as I just switched my carrier from Metro by T-Mobile to AT&T. I was using U1 US unlocked firmwares on my Note9 & S10+ but want to use carrier perks now with AT&T.
What's with AT&T being the only ones to not release update files? You would think they all would be required to release them. More AT&T customers need kick up a fuss about it.
