Hi everybody.
I'm from Italy. In Italy we haven't got galaxy s7 in dual sim version, but i need it.
I can buy it outside Europe, through e-commerce. The problem is that the seller doesn't know the precise code of the model, he only knows that is dual sim and sim free. I would to know if there are different models of galaxy s7 duos sim free, and what are the 4g/lte frequency, to understand if it's compatible with italian sim operators.
Thank you.

There are 2 that i know of.
SM-G930FD - This is the "European" model, u can install Single Sim ROM and Dual sim will work ( faster updates from samsung )
SM-G9300 - Chinese / Vietnam version , no Google Play and some Chinese apps .
About bands, read on those 2 pages
Thank you a lot.
We waiting for other utents if they know other versions.
A question: what means "u can install Single Sim ROM and Dual sim will work"? Is it necessary to change ROM to use the telephone?

No, i just did it because mine came with CSC for Nigeria. I choose an rom for XEU ( UK/Ireland Unbranded ) because they receive updates faster then others, and is closer to me then Nigeria ^^
ok, i understand.
Is this procedure invalidate warranty?

Hi Guys,
i am not so aktive like in the old days in installing and modding ROM so may be its a dumb question.
I have a european Samsung Galaxy S7 and i want to take it to India. So i would like to install a Asian (Indien) ROM so it has language choice like (Englisch (India)) and other settings relevant for India.
Can i do this and if yes which ROM should i use?
Thank you
Sam

Nobody knows if the model G930-F can be used in some way also in dual sim modality?

Single SIM version has no SIM-2 pins present. So can't convert it to Dual SIM version by flashing a different firmware. But the opposite can be done I guess.

So, is there no hope? Are you sure that 930F model hasn't SIM-2 pins?
Do you think the differenze between F and FD models could be in the phone and not in the slot?
I don't need the Dual SIM but would like to have Indian language pack and other Stuff on the S7. Becasue it's a gift for someone and i bought it in Europe.

So, if I insert the slot of FD model in a F model, do you think F model will work with two sims??

Nope. If it's just that why didn't Samsung sell all the phones with a DUAL SIM capability. FD versions have the pins for the SIM-2 where F doesn't have it.
Hi there!
I was wondering, I currently have the SM-G930FD (Exynos Duos) and with the announcement that Samsung Pay is coming to Canada soon, I wanted to flash a Canadian firmware onto it. Would a Canadian firmware work on my device? Thanks!
You'd possibly lose the dual sim capability flashing a single sim firmware, as for the firmware working let alone samsung pay is anyones guess, most likely no.

Dual-sim wasn't a big concern to me (didn't even know the phone had it when I ordered), but thank you!
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.

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:
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=0C53FCC1D0CA11E7A5F9FA163EE8F90B
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.
Hi
Anyone trying installing G930FD on G930F. I have an australian Galaxy S7 which I want to flash with Indian G930FD. I want to do this because, I am giving away my mobile to one of my family member in India.
Thanks in Advance
Most 930F and FD firmware is the same package and should work on both devices.

FD are dual SIM ROM. For weird reason, Samsung only released Dual Sim variant only in India.
Firmware is still the same, it just goes by hardware detection. If a second SIM is present the firmware reads it, if not then it doesn't. You can technically make a G930F dual SIM by changing the board and faking a second IMEI.
Here's a few previous questions on the same topic

If there is no physical hardware to support second sim, then it won't work.

Jsut remove the csc from that carrier... reflash the device with another firmware.. im on N970FXXU1ASHE from europe and i'm on america.
How i can remove the CSC, my device is not root and bootloader unlocked too.?
Do tou have a tutorial?
