What is a dual chip?
Is there a difference between g930w8 and g930f?

Stock ROMs definitely won't, you'll brick your phone if you manage it
Bootloaders are different at the very least

Just to let you now that I flashed nougat (SuperNexus) to my sm-g930w8 (canadian). trhe room is ever an edge based one. it works good except these issues:
- In multiuser, I cannot configure a display lock except in the main user (very bad for me because I wanted to secure all my 3 users). When I try, the setting app close itself.
- no separated fingerprint either for each user.
Except that everything is perfect. note: I did not flash the bootloader neither the modem.

@mr__T
Please read my past post. Is that answer your question?

You have to be creative maybe take the best from the 2 roms
Take a look of the wishes from the other roms here on edge forum and make them happen
Just a suggestion
I think the greatest wish is to make the edge screen work under resurrection remix / CM 12.1 but that will maybe be impossible because of the way Samsung has build the edge display function in touchwiz

After so much time and effort dealing with the note edge canadian version I got the tmobile one, I tried a few roms so far and this one is great, Im not a big fun of the edge screen but I really like some of the features like the night clock, I also love the software from the original samsung S6 Edge, everything looks so crispy and good, I dont intent to offend anybody I just want to share what I did because It looks amazing. I installed the rom from this post http://www.echoerom.com/echoe-roms/n4-n910t/ plus the kernel from this thread https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347767709 and it looks fantastic, no fc , some edge funtionalities and I am very satisfied with the way it looks. I use CWM recovery, Im not sure if that makes any diference.

HI Beetle, nope tried the few kernel options we have and no mobile GSM signal, probably just need the modem changing in the romantic as shows unknown baseband, don't think there are and flash able modem files about and not sure what would need to be taken from an existing rom. Perhaps Starbucks or Evan know the answer , was hoping someone might of sorted this.
The rom however is great in all other aspects and would be a worthy addition.

I had the same issue on my n915g, I have a few flash able bootloaders (boe1, bof1 and bof3) and none of them helped. It was very fast for the few hours I had it installed, but I'll stick to note edge roms. I couldn't see the point of the s6 edge, for me it was a little bit of a backward step.

Flash a G930F Rom on a G930K SGS7?

Hello everybody,
I'm looking for the answer of my question but I still didn't find it. I live in Hong Kong and I bought a SGS7 from Korea, the model is SM-G930K. The phone is unlocked but there are bloatwares from the carrier and I can't remove the sound of the camera on this model.
That's why I was wondering if I could use an international rom like from the SM-G930F? I wanted to try but I'm afraid of bricking the phone. The SM-G930K from Korea is also a Exynios version, so I really hope I can flash it with an international rom.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I made a mistake! How move the topic to the questions and answers section?
G930K user here, too. Yes you can, but directly flashing G930F firmware through odin is not possible due to difference in partition sizes. Still, you can flash custom ROMs which can be installed through TWRP(e.g. Superman ROM).

But custom ROMs have to mention G930K or not? Or just a classic custom ROMs from G930F is ok?
I remember, a long time ago, may be before Android, I edited the ROM just with an hexadecimal app, and I could change the model and some stuff. We can't do something like this neither?

Just flash G930F ROMs, it doesn't matter whether G930K support is mentioned or not. No need to edit anything.

Isn't it what the re-partition option for?
Sorry to bump an old thread, but that't the clearest discussion I've found so far regarding flashing on the K variant.
I'm asking this for the S7E though (G935K > G935F) and everyone on the other forum says that it is just impossible to do anything on the K version ( which seems weird to me since the hardware is exactly the same and root/TWRP work fine).

I made a research during few weeks about that, and it's still not clear. I have also read that the modem is faster than the classic S7. But I have not found a loud and clear answer.
Until someone try to flash a G930F rom on a G930F phone, we won't know.

Hi. Apparently you cannot. If you want another rom, you have to install an alternative recovery, root your phone, and install a custom rom.
Anyone found clear answer?

Hi. No you cannot. Check my previous message, the only way is to install custom rom.
Those devices have same hardware. But the partition sizes are different. If you want to know, just flash custom recovery (TWRP) to your korean S7 and flash LineageOS or RR. Because all of them suggested our devices as well like this: (G930 F|W8|K|L|S). It will fail when you try to flash it by recovery. Because Galaxy S7's Korean variant's partition sizes are different from international and canadian S7s. There was one guide to flash AOSP ROMs to Korean S7's. There will be guide to resize of partitions on ROM's installation. But all commands are needs Linux Based OS, but not Android. I was tried it by Termux on my Galaxy S7. ext2simg command was still not available on Android's terminal . Others was available... so sad. And python codes are so simple to run. One day I will try it on Linux Based OS'd PC.

Not fine. But our devices have same hardware (F = W8 = K = L = S). Only the partition sizes are different. You just need to flash custom recovery (TWRP) then choose custom rom what you want for your S7. I'm suggesting SuperMan ROM and BatMan ROM. They are so stable, and clean. BatMan ROM was not fully stable on my G930K. Then I tried SuperMan ROM's clean, stock installation method on AROMA. It was really clean and Stable on my G930K. Try it bro :fingers-crossed: all of them TouchWiz interfaced. If you want try AOSP, you need to resize your partition sizes by this guide.
Is it possible that I install twrp to install smg930fd firmware in my smg930s Samsung s7 and uninstall twrp after doing this ?

ROOT a fake S6 ?!

Hello everyone,
I read several forums, so I installed cpu-z to know on what mtk my phonewas running. Strangely I was on Exynos Octa 7420. So I put my phone in download mode, and appeared a Chinese menu (that's how I know I have a fake s6).
So I would like to know, is there a way to install a recovery and a rom on a phone like this ?!
PS: model number is sm-g920l on lollipop 5.0.2
I think you can try kingroot because supports a lot of smartphones, and if the root method works then you can try follow this guide for switching to supersu

i think its just fake info keep in mind they still can trick apps to show fake info if you want to root it without knowing what are you doing it may end up dead forever
I found that it's a mtk mobile. But my version (mt6735) is unrootable ... Any idea why ?!
Why so you even have a fake device? How about returning it for a real one?

There are a few root methods for this chipset, you need to make sure the bootloader is unlocked though 1st before trying. I had a quick google for root methods and did see a few possible working ones.

S8+ Roms 'scene'

Hey guys, I am planning on getting the S8+ and Ive been looking around Xda for Roms for it but there are not a lot of them(stable neither) so my question is why are there not so many Roms and how is the future looking? I always root my phones and like to experiment, so should I buy it?
Thanks in advance, Ray
Which s8+ do you have?

I live in Germany so which ever one is sold here (european)
If you like testing ROMs go with OnePlus 5T, i'm also thinking about switching.
OnePlus 5T is a good choice if you want to use developer apps and sideload mods, tweaks, roms.. etc.
I think if you go with a Exynos processor S8(international variant) you should be ok, as is it has been rooted fully already.
Check this post out for a list of different S8+ variants.

The Snapdragon processor hasn't been fully rooted like the Exynos version. So make sure you get the right model for your location.

Not that it matters in this case but your statement is not accurate. We do have root and it's stable. What we don't have is an unlocked bootloader which the Exynos version DOES have.

Quite so. If you didn't already do it you could head over to Cross Dev or the S8+ ROM forums and see what's available there.
Presently the vast majority are modded Touchwiz-based ROMs, which are quite excellent and offer great customization/battery life etc. If you are specifically keen on LOS-based (or other non-Touchwiz) ROMs there are very few under development, but it seems like quite a way to go yet.

Question firmware version with dual sim enabled

Hi all!! I bought the a53 in Argentina and, to my surprise, there's no option to use the dual sim which the phones supports by hardware.
After reading a lot I find out that this is something that is hidden by software so I wanted to check with you which version have it enabled so maybe I could flash it into my phone.
Thanks!!
