Hello, i have a Galaxy S6 that i bought from Carphone Warehouse which is unlocked. I am on a vodafone contract and want to be able to use WIFI Calling. I have been told that it will only work if i bought the phone directly from Vodafone. After some research i found on sammobile that the official firmware is availble on Vodafone. If i were to flash this file, would it activate the features? Would this reset the phone or void my warranty?

Thanks
I did exactly that, but by mistake. It lead to me losing my phone's IMEI and baseband. It is fixed after reflashing the correct one again though.
Also, most likely Odin will fail flashing it at Hidden.img
Thanks, think I will give this a miss then!:good:

Does ANYBODY happen to know what the right firmware is for these models? I am trying to revert to stock to return the phone. I've tried all 3 firmwares from the UK (H3G, O2 and Vodafone).....the H3G Odin'd properly but it's obvious that is NOT the firmware the phone came with, and the other 2 FAIL in Odin. As the title says, this an unlocked SM-G920F bought on Amazon in the US and being used on AT&T. 32GB btw.
Anybody have any help?

Have you factory reset after installing H3G? If yes, then it would be very difficult to find out the stock rom.
But if you have not reset then install phone info from google play, and check the csc. It will tell your original firmware code.

Hi All,
I have a moderate experience in flashing firmwares and modding my samsung devices over the years.
I have recently purchased an S7 which is unfortunately a SM-G930V model, i thought it would have been the SM0G930F which would have made life much easier.
I want to know if it is possible to get the original Australian firmware or even generic stock firmware on this device?
My issue is with the network settings where i have manually put in APN settings my match my carrier and 4G coverage in australia.
If not am i able to just flash a different baseband to this device preferably Australian?
I have read that flashing a different model firmware will soft brick the device, i just want some insight before i start breaking things, also what are my options.
Much appreciated, thanks, Will
You have the snapdragon s7, you can't flash the exynos 930f firmware on it, you can only flash the american firmware. You might have luck with the 930u unbranded firmware just do some research on it.
Thanks mate,
I'm going to flash this firmware using ODIN, do you know if it will be successful?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/xda-community-love-g930u-t3415875
not sure how to check my bootloader version etc
No clue, goto the verizon subforum and see if anyone flashed the 930u firmware on their 930v.
Just tried to flash the firmware to my phone and recieved an error, the phone is now stuck at download mode with error:
sw rev check fail : [system] fused 3 > binary 4
this means the bootloader won't accept the firmware?
LOL, guess ill try another firmware.. Any ideas?
Hello
I have a s8+ that was originally from Vodafone UK. The person that have sold it to me unlocked it. I've flashed as well the no brand firmware for UK to have the wifi call. Because I'm with ee I would like to flash the EE firmware to have Volte as well. I've tried many times with Odin but always fail at the end after hidden.img
I tried many suggestions found on line but none was working... Once I was again back to Vodafone firmware as well also if I was flashing the EE one. Someone Could help me with a guide step by step how to install ee firmware without errors?
Thank you very much indeed

Which CSC did you use to flash:
CSC_EVR or HOME_CSC_EVR?
You must use the 1st one: CSC_EVR
So, you have to flash: AP BL CP & CSC_EVR (your device will be resetted)
I have an unlocked phone on Marshmallow.
Will it become locked again if I upgrade it to Nougat using Odin and the official firmware?

Model SM-N920T
i flashed this latest firmware below via odin v3.12

Thank you for the firmware source.
Just to clarify, you flashed only that AP, no additional modem or bootloader files?
In addition, is T-mobile a cell phone provider also in Arab emirates? I did some search in internet and it seems the answer is no.
Would it be possible somehow to compare if your phone and mine have been unlocked the same way?
Thank you for any additional help

No my service provider is Etisalat not Tmobile but i bought this phone on Craigslist and it was locked on Tmobile network so the owner sold me very very cheap he didn't know how to unlock it.
I bought it in 140$ and and it's brand new condition almost untouched.
i used a software in windows pc called "Z3X samsung tool pro v29.2" a cracked version to be honest to unlock this phone permanently.
After that i flashed nougat via odin just in AP tab and still unlocked.
I did not flash modem or bootloader separately because this firmware comes in full package Bootloader+Modem+CSC+System all you have to do is use AP tab and upload firmware then flash it.but remember you have to do factory reset from stock recovery immediately after flashing successfully otherwise it can get bootloop
Even though i try Tmobile sim unlock app that comes pre installed but it didn't worked cuz i don't have Tmobile sim card.
I am not sure your phone situation to be honest but since its UNLOCKED already so give it a nougat shot.
