Nope, as of now there are no de-bloated firmwares available for the US versions.

I do have a G930P and I did flash it with a G930U FW which doesn´t have any company bloatware, phone works better than before, mine was unlocked since I bought it and I'm using it with a Mexico SIM with no problems.
Please check this post in the S7 AT&T section:

Flash 920F build G920FXXU3COI9
I recently switched my S6 from Verizon to T-Mobile. Can I flash the T-Mobile firmware on this phone?

In short no. The closest to what your thinking is like having a s7edge and instead of running your providers firmware, in your case (T-Mobile) but you got a Verizon phone, you could download and run the "unlocked firmware" for the phone. In this example it'd be SM-G935U if say you had a SM-G935R4(U.S. Cellular), I know you can also flash other providers to the s7edge like verizon to a us cellular phone. Don't think it flys with the s6 like that though.
That's what I kind of figured. Verizon has their phones extremely locked down but figured I would ask before I tried and bricked it. Thanks for the imput and help.
Hello,
What is the difference, other than carrier bloatware, in a carrier-unlocked Galaxy S7 (G930[A,T,V...etc]) vs a factory unlocked S7 (G930U)? I am planning to buy a T-mobile S7 at full price and then get it unlocked by T-mobile customer rep because it is cheaper for me to do that than buy a factory unlocked version.
The following questions are what I have thought to ask so far:
Installing custom ROMs -- can I install custom ROMs for the G930U on the carrier-unlocked version?
Unlocking bootloader -- Can I unlock the bootloader for the carrier-unlocked version?
Factory Image -- If I just want to get rid of T-mobile bloatware but keep Samsung's factory image/ROM, can I install the factory image of the G930U on the carrier-unlocked version?
What other limitations are there, if any, between the 2 unlocked versions?
Thank you for all your feedback and time.

You can't go custom or any other fun things with any US model S7 (Snapdragon)
You need the International S7 (G930F)
Thanks for the reply. I was thinking about getting the international but I heard it has poor reception with US carriers

Can't help you with that one I'm afraid, hopefully people in the US using International S7s can reply
Maybe make a new thread titled:
"Anyone in the US using G930F?"

I have a factory unlocked s7 and I'm using it on T-Mobile. I am having some issues though. I am not getting LTE in places where I had LTE with my S4. I also get 3G a lot when I am supposed to have LTE and no data goes through on 3G for some reason. Not sure if it is an issue with the model I have or if it is a common issue. The factory unlocked one has the bands for T-Mo USA though.
Also there is a thread about this in the tmobile specific galaxy s7 subforum https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7/help/using-sm-g930f-t-mobile-t3335753

Hi
most of the times is a CSC issue , you need the right CSC and that your carrier offer the service. Double check your CSC , ask in the T mobile forum .
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7
Do not flash different stock ROMs for different model phones. Flash back Verizon ROM and flash the CSC for T-Mobile
@bahmonkeys so in other words go back down to my original Verizon ROM then just flashed the CSC tmoblie if possible can you give me a small step by step thanks
Has anyone successfully able to get the beta for Android 8.0 on unlock firmware?

you CANT use att unlocked s8+ on verizon, it only works on GSM carriers. if you want to use verizon, sell the att s8+ and get Verizon s8+
i have unlocked att s8+ when i put in Xfinity mobile simcard which uses verizon towers. my unlocked att s8+ got no signal.
Oreo is out for at&t users anyway, look in the guides section. Apply update from SD. Easy and smooth.
