Let me preface, I'm using a 920T
I've been able to determine when I flash a 920T based rom, android su root disabled, I can configure and use android pay.
When I flash a 920F/925F rom I get an error that it can't verify device or software running is compatible. I've tried using xposed modules (device cloak and disable device checker) and still no go.
Is there some way to get the base to act/be/fake different than what is actually installed?
Similar to fix the Netflix bug you change the model in build.prop to 920K.
Could a rom that has a 920F base, be transposed or features migrated to a 920T rom, for example?
Either 1- I run a rom that doesn't have the features, battery, speed I want and have android pay. 2- run a rom I want and no android pay. 3- have a nandroid of a 920t stock rom and flash back and forth when needed (a pita for sure).
As far as I know there is no way you can use android pay and have a rooted device.

Yes you can.. The issue is because most roms are European base, android pay is only available in the US. So roms specifically for att, tmobile, Verizon, sprint all should work; as my test of two roms proved

I thought pay would detect the su binaries. That's what a Google developer said.

Couldn't test it though.

I tested by rooting a sprint s6 then adding a credit card with no issues what so ever. The problem definitely lies in EU based ROMS

Exactly. So some way need to fake our rom to be based on USA rom.
I hope some devs can look into this..
Maybe it's because of the fact that Android Pay is only available in the US.
I tested it by installing the apk on a stock unrooted G920F but it wouldn't let me add a credit card because Play Services force close.
And I live in Germany.

i've been out traveling and been out of the loop for a few weeks. around June i was following a few threads where apparently root has been achieved on US versions (specifically interested in Tmobile 930T version).
can i install custom roms on these devices or not? or does that require bootloader unlock?

There are no roms available for the US s7 as of now. Since the root was achieved quite recently and it is not quite stable now, it will take some time for developers to make a rom for it. If I were you, then for now I would just install de-bloat script, xposed, adblock etc..

thanks friend. I have had the debloater for a few months now. I also disabled auto updates from tmo and Samsung using the debloater just in case the updates would mess up the future root. reading the forums yesterday though I saw people rooting with the latest updates though. now I'm wondering if I should update my software or not.

Well, it depends on you. If you feel that you need the update then go ahead. But in the future I wouldn't suggest updating, because sooner or later Samsung will patch the root.
Hey, my s7 edge is not rooted yet should I root now?
Only root if you know what you want to do with it afterwards. Don't root for the sake of it if you know what I mean

I am going to try out some roms is it worth it or there is not any good roms yet?
I used to be a keen rooter and user of custom roms but I realised slowly you can achieve most of the desired benefits of rooting by not rooting. It depends on the person, but for me it was blocking ads and removing bloatware. Now you can get Package Disabler Pro which disables anything you want, and 3rd party apps like Adguard which block all ads also. And the added benefit of having a working Android Pay (Though it does work on rooted stock)
I want a pure stock android like lineage os should I root for this matter ?

Yup theres a lot of good stable ROMs though they may still be unofficial. Some ROMs even go up to having Nougat.
The best ROM out there is the SuperMan ROM though, a lot of features and liked by many.

did you spend any money?
I initially rooted the phone to try out different ROMS, xposed etc... but I'm now regretting it. I cannot use Samsung Pay, something that is generally used by most S7 users here in Korea and globally.

I should have said I stopped rooting on my previous s5.
So when I ran into major problems with this phone(s7 unrooted ), I had no problems getting it repaired by Samsung.
So no it didn't cost me anything.
If I did root I probably would have been screwed!!
So be aware, and think carefully if you need root.
Is there any custom kernel that can allow overclocking on the J330FN Oreo?

Nope. It is highly unlikely that a custom kernel or even rom to be made for this device as no one is developing anything on it. The device has reached end of life considering it is a budget device after all.

No problem and i am aware since she helped make sampwned32 for the sm-j327t and sm-j327t1 I found the root method that was used on the s8 variant with a locked bootloader and brought it up and even tested the root method on the device and it worked. But a month later samsung released a new update that patched it. If it wasn't for ashyx converting the files from ARM64 to ARM this method would have never worked. Also after samsung patched the root method they only released one more security update and ended up cancelling the android oreo update for metropcs and tmobile after we was told our device would get it. Oh boy i was pretty pissed. Like come on samsung you could atleast unlock the device's bootloader and allow us to make our own custom roms which would be alot better and would be oreo based. It is sad how samsung forgot about us and didn't even bother to release a new phone to the metropcs and tmobile market in the budget area. The mid range J7 Prime got more love than this device did fr.

Hi,
I'm wondering if there is any way to get the panama version of the A8 to have VoLTE support on T-Mobile in the USA with a GSI? My Moto X4 battery is dying... So I dug out my A8 and am trying to get it working.
I found another post that suggested changing the CSC by installing it from another phone that has a USA version and that person posted some files but I'm not using the stock ROM and its not a good idea to randomly flash random zips you find on the forums without asking first.
I also don't think CSC applies to non stock roms?
Any help would be great!

i havent had a non-stock ROM on my A8, but a GSI doesnt seem like it would even be capable of supporting a CSC as they are carrier specific. Dunno man.

What about just removing all the google and samsung junk from the stock rom is that possible? How would I do that?

the GSI is supposed to be stripped of as much samsung stuff as possible which follows the course of the AOSP from where it really got the idea from which has always been about being as pure of an android experience as possible. Even the term GSI stands for Generic System Image, that being said tho, the phone would be a really interesting paperweight without the google stuff

Yeah the GSI is stripped of all the google stuff, but I was thinking perhaps I could recreate the sort of lineage os type experience by stripping out all the google nonsense, like the store, the assistant etc. and samsung junk but using a stock samsung rom as the base that way I could find some way to swap a different CSC and get VoLTE and Wifi Calling working. I've seen other threads around where people have used a CSC from a different model to get theirs working.

if you want to do that, just flash lineage and magisk, then get titanium backup pro and freeze or delete whatever you dont want
Been looking for a solution to convert this device to the global variant successfully with the modem working or to get Verizon to release the update. It's been one year since Android 12 has been released and it doesn't seem like OOS 12 is coming anytime soon, so if anyone knows how to get the modem working on the global variant, I'd be glad.
The hardware and kernel source are fundamentally different on the Verizon model. Even if you somehow got global firmware installed with working data, you'd have a lot of other bugs and glitches because the hardware isn't compatible with the Global OS.

It works quite well. on the V model (that's what I have). but you need to back up your modem for data. It's best to reset to 11 factory. Then you can run ROMs that are OS 12.

I believe he means that you can run Android 12 ROMs, not custom ROMs, unless I misread?

I did not use a specific guide. I have been rooting the phone for some time and found that I could flash os global using a fastboot flash ROM. If you root your phone and save the stock os the 11 modems you can replace it in the global rom.
I will correct myself and say that I don't remember for sure if global will work (for modem replacement) but you can get custom ROMs to work well with that method.
I would have to go back and sort through for the links or try again to be sure. But if you know what you're doing, it is pretty hard to brick the phone. So play around with other guides. (with your own risk and discretion involved).
You can even run android 13 on the V model( not good IMO. buggy).

Stock modem does not work. That is for sure. I've moved to the pixel 7 Pro so I won't be messing with the one plus anymore.
