G920i running Tmobile firmware? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can the G920i run the firmware for tmobile? Is it possible for me to get updates from tmobile as well using the international variant? I want to utilize their VoLTE and their wifi calling, I just happened to buy the G920i... was wondering if the firmware for a different model will work

No it can't.

Absolutely, just get a T-Mobile SIM ($15 at a T-Mobile store) and go online at T-Mobile.com pick your plan and activate. FYI - the 920I is not international that's the 920F. 920I is region specific North/South America. I use 920I on T-Mobile without issue. Just received Lollipop 5.1.1 update.

Yes because your S6 is the TMO variant SM 920t. If he tried to flash the TMO variant on a 920i variant it will cause a soft brick.

Is it possible to downgrade to different region and older firmware?

Hello, I currently have SM-G9208 S6 on 6.0.1 which is Taiwan model.
The problem is I live in Australia and with Vodafone and their current firmware for SM-G925I is 5.1.1.
The reason I want to use older firmware for Vodafone is to be able to use voLTE.
Currently I don't have voLTE option on my phone.
So can anyone help me out? Also if possible to I need to wipe everything out as well?
Thanks

Use Firmware Of A Different Model

Hi,
I have a S8+ with the model SM-G955FD and was wondering if I am able to download the firmware for the model SM-G955F?
The phone was purchased outside of Australia and doesn't use the Australian (Telstra) firmware that I would like it to. I just figured they are the same phone just different model numbers so there shouldn't be any issues right? I might just lose a couple features or something but the phone should work correctly?
Thanks in advance.
Yea, the G955FD is the dual SIM Exynos variant, right?
I'm sure the dual SIM uses the same firmware as the single SIM, so you should have no worries flashing Aussie firmware.
But I would suggest you flash the XSA (Aussie unbranded) firmware, not Telstra firmware. You'll lose nothing, but you'll get faster updates.

I thought as much, thanks so much for clarifying. I will download the XSA firmware as well.
Thanks
I'm using Metro PCS service on a Singapore XSP and experiencing some terrible 4G service. Is there anything I can do about this, looked perhaps flash smother CSC onto my 955FD?

Hi there I am a silly person who purchased a Galaxy S8+ from Kogan which is flashed with Emirates firmware
Its model SM-G9f55FD G955Fxxu1AQL5
No VOlte and Samsung pay etc
I need to use Telstra network (im rural but in a VOLTE area) and so I need to flash it with Australian Firmware so it gets all the local features.
I would just like to know how I know what chipset to use - I dont think its snapdragon
And where to get the firmware.

Here's the XSA (Australia) firmware:

Flash it. Doesn't matter if your device is G955F or FD, the ROMs are exactly the same.
Does the method works with G955J SCV35 model? I'm running NTDocomo firmware on KDDI model to unlock network (single SIM) . I wan't to flash unlocked U firmware but getting scared that the phone will be bricked.

t-mobile wifi calling possible on exynos?

Hey I am based in New york city USA and i use an s7edge exynos variant. Is it possible to get wifi calling on my phone in the US? Do i need to flash ANY t mobile firmware package to my phone or it would have to be a USA t mobile firmware? ( i assume its not possible to flash that to my exynos phone?)

US TMO to Euro?

is it possible to maybe convert this phone to european firmware? I'm not sure if ALL variants have carrier specific things or not but just curious because the T-Mobile version has T-Mobile everything
