Hey XDA,
I just recently purchased a AT&T S7 (SM-G930A). I also just recently found out that AT&T doesn't push updates to non AT&T network phones. I am using the phone with T-Mobile and I was wondering if it was possible to flash the T-Mobile stock rom without tripping Knox or anything of that sort. I remember being able to do this to my AT&T Note 2 back in the day. If it is possible, can someone kindly link me to the file and instructions on how to flash the stock ROM from T-Mobile? Thanks!

DO NOT DO IT . I believe AT&T has the exynos processor and I know for a fact T-Mobile has the Snapdragon processor I'm pretty sure you will perma brick your phone. Tmobile also has a locked bootlaoder.
Just change your APN settings
Actually, I posted this in the AT&T forum as well and they said it work fine and it did. The phones are identical. The problem is that I can't go back to AT&T stock because AT&T is still on BL V2 while T-Mobile is on BL V3. I flashed anyway and it worked fine. Make sure to use Odin 3.12 from the Verizon Root Guide!
All US carrier S7's are Snapdragon based
@goofwear, All US based S7 and S7E have the Snapdragon SOC. And ALL have a LOCKED BOOTLOADER. @IbbiAnsi, you can flash just fine. Just read more about them in the threads and follow at your own risk.

Hi guys, i just recently upgraded from a SGS 2 Skyrocket T-mobile rooted running KitKat 4.4.2
to a SGS 4 I337m running android 4.3 from the mexican company Telcel (I´m living in Mexico)
The s4 is now rooted and running CWM v6.0.4.7
I generally didn´t have any problems installing custom roms for the S2 since most were highly compatible with the model
but I´m having a HARD AND CONFUSING time deciding what roms are compatible with my mexican(telcel) s4 since on the descrpitions for
most roms they only mention compatability to models like (AT&T, Tmobile, Canadian and its variants)
I understand that the Canadian model is also I337m and At&T is I337so my question is
IF I install a rom designed for the Canadian model I337m, shouldn´t it also be compatible for my Mexican Telcel I337m???
if so, then whatever issue should arise in the future which I hope does not happen, Can i simply rely on the tutorials for the Canadian model or perhaps??
(obviously if I somehow softbrick this phone I´m not going to use canadian firmware but the one available for my region)
NOTE: I have looked all over to and read forums but I just can´t get a specific answer, please help!
and I dont want to test it all out on my own because the last thing I wanna do is Damage the phone THANKS!!

I can tell you that I have flashed the Canadian Rogers ROM I337MVLUFNC1 from Sammobile (flash instructions are included in Sammobile's webpage) and it works perfectly fine with Telcel's i337m. I have used it with Telcel's 4G network and Movistar's 3G network with no issues at all.
I should warn you that I have only used ROM I337MVLUFNC1 , there are two newer ROMs from Rogers that I have not tried. After installing Roger's ROM, you can continue to root as you did with your original Telcel ROM.
Cheers
Are there any roms right now that support the sprint edition sm-G930P Galaxy s7. Every rom that I have come across appears to be based on the international G930f version. Apparently since the oneplus is not compatible with sprint networks I am basically forced to either get the s7 for something comparable and flash it or switch carriers. Any recommendations?
Snapdragons are bootloader locked, if you have root for 930p you may have a working custom rom (check T-Mo forums)..
So basically as the title states, can you flash a tmobile rom on the Verizon s3? i got my tmobile sim to work, and id like to use the tmobile software as well. Can it be done? if so, what ported roms are available?

I wouldn't. Even though it's the same device basically it will cause issues. Only flash specifically for a universal d2 or d2vzw

Hello all,
Since there wasn't any thread for the general questions here, I opened this one!
I have a note 8 from AT&T with the Android 7.1.1 on it (baseband N950USQS3BRA8) which is sim unlocked so I can use it on T-Mobile.
Using the software update on the phone doesn't give me the recent update, I've already read all threads and I think the only resolution is to do it with odin. On the other hand, I like to have a rooted phone (didn't know samFail came out and always was sorry to be forced to use the stock ROM)
Now my question is which is better for me? what's the gain updating to Oreo? Isn't better to root instead? if so, what instruction to follow to root 7.1.1 on my phone?
Auxilary questions:
I don't have video call anymore (after switching from AT&T to T-Mobile), would it be enabled after root?
I don't know how to change 611 mask number from whatever number AT&T is using to the one from T-Mobile (just curious to know if there is a possible way, maybe using T-Mobile ROM instead of one from AT&T) So is it possible to use another carrier's ROM on my phone?
Please, anyone?!
no answer?!
Ok so i have a G955U Verizon unlocked S8+. I want to use it on AT&T but i was told that verizon had disabled a few of the AT&T bands. I dont care about rooting, but if i could root and get all the AT&T bands and no bloat ware that would be above and beyond. I would mostly be happy with just having the capability to use all the bands. So i saw PartCyborgRom had a custom rom that has just recently been updated to work with the v3 BL. Would this rom give me access to all of my AT&T bands? Sorry im a newb haha 15+ year forum creeper, first time poster. Need some help guys this new stuff is over my head! Cheers and thanks!
EDIT: So i have found bboii86's thread on the AT&T S8+ Stock Oreo G955USQU3CRD4 Odin files: https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...g955u-stock-g955usqu3crd4-odin-files-t3789751 and because im already running the same baseband version somehow but with Verizon bloatware im going to try flashing it. I suppose having the AT&T bloatware rather than verizon would just make me feel better lol. So new question with parts of the old still in place: will running PartCyborgRom give me access to all the bands on the AT&T network and will I be able to use it being on the 8.0 (oreo) Android Version? Much appreciated my friends.
