I am new to s7 and I own a G930V Verizon unlocked version of s7
I was wondering if I could flash those roms with tags [G930X] and [G930F]
will it cause any problem such as locking the phone back?
also will there be Chinese language available in the roms and if not can I install manually? Thank You so much!!!!:highfive::highfive:

Hello, no you can not flash those ROMS, if it is not stated in the topic that you can. All models must have specifically built for them ROMS in order to work. As for the question about the language, again, go into the topic of the interested ROM and see there what languages are supported, normally it should already include all languages.

Since the galaxy s6 edge has the exynos 7420 cpu does that mean international roms will work on US carriers? just have to change the APNs?

I have been wondering the same thing. Have you gotten any further with this?
I'm in South America and would like to flash an INT ROM hoping to get LTE working here. LTE Band where I am right now is 1900 mhz. Would flashing an INT ROM "unlock" the phone for that? Are there other "consequences" that one should be aware of when flashing an official International ROM? Any comment on this is appreciated :good:

no i haven't found any information on it sadly :/
Im searching information about too. I tried install some 925F roms then flash 925p kernels but no luck. GPS not working, data/voice not working, even no mobile operator setting in setup.
You would need more than just download and flash!!! You need to port libs, xmls, framework, apps etc to make it compatible with Sprint
Anyway of getting a sprint compatability zip?

Thanks for the info. In my case I don't need to make it compatible with Sprint since I'm in South America. Any suggestions on how to flash an official International G925 Rom?
I think that will happens only when somebody write unified kernel for F/I/*/*/*/and P version of this phone. I researched this and found that noone from kernel makers want not do this. In nearby thread one programmer offer to try modified bootloader for 925p (to be able rollback to 5.0.2). He can't even find testers(. No one want brick their phones.

Not true..... People have been testing bootloaders. Still more work done to be done to it. There have been about 5 testers

Sorry. Didn't know that. Wish you luck in bootloader unlocking.
S6 G920F roms on S6 G920P?
Dear users
I would like to have S6 International roms on my S6 Sprint but I can't,
is there a compatibility for sprint file to fix the other touch screen and other processor (exynos and snapdragon)?
Please, can anyone reply if you know it?
PS: Sorry for my English, it's not good.
Hey, what's up guys?
Need some info please....please don't bash me...lol
I will be getting my Note 5 soon and would like to start tinkering with it, I would like to know if i can install another firmware on the device? I did some research and to my understanding, only corresponding firmware can be flashed. e.g. any other country N920i firmware can be flashed on a N920i variant.
I will be getting a T-Mobile variant soon and would like to know if i could somehow wipe the device and flash another variant's firmware?
I know it could be done with the HTC M8 so i'm a bit curious if it can be done with the Note 5 device too.....
p.s. I chose the t-mobile variant because of all the attention and development its been receiving compared to the other models. International variants usually have the most developments, roms and especially faster software updates....but t-mobile seems to have the lead for now with roms etc. Feel free to enlighten/correct me please......
So I've seen that it's possible to flash the US firmware between the carrier firmware and US international firmware (U). I'm wondering how that is possible since there were problems with the S6 international variants flashing US carrier firmware onto the phones. Does the U use the Snapdragon processor and that's what allows it to be flashed?
The reason I ask is because I know someone with the S6 international (G920I) on T-mobile and wishes to enable WiFi Calling but they don't have that option. I know that this isn't the S6 forum but I noticed people flashing U firmware onto their carrier branded phones and vise versa and figured that those who figured it out would have some understanding as to how it works. I just want to expand my knowledge of why he can't seem to find a solution even though there seems to be some compatibility there.
Thanks for the replies.

Well, it could be possible.. But since this is the forum for the international version of the s7, I think you might have better luck asking that same at the US s7 forums.

I thought this was the general S7 forum, covering all S7's?

Nope, this is only for the international version. For the US version there are four different forums, for all of the carriers. Here's a link to the T-mobile forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7
Hi,
I've bought a couple of S6 flats which are potentially American variants, I haven't received them yet. I used to have the G920F and we had BTU and XEU firmware that we could flash which didn't include any carrier bloatware.
My question is, is there a similar firmware CSC for the American variants that doesn't include T-Mobile bloatware for example?
Thanks.
I have the T-Mobile variant S6 Edge, but I don't know of any official firmware that can be flashed directly onto a T-Mobile that doesn't have their bloatware. I know you can flash any custom ROM like OdexLite on it that supports either the G92xT or G92xW8, as they are both compatible with each other. The downside to doing that is that you'll obviously trip KNOX, the upside being that you'll have a very debloated ROM, even more than what you would have being on an official, non-carrier ROM.

Ok thanks for your response, I'll probably flash custom roms on them if they turn out to be full of crappy apps.
Thanks.

There is really many good ROM's with support T-version From those what I tested, every one support T/W8 And also good kernels like N0G33K or Aldeon. ROM's are really diffrent so I cannot recommend you anyone because you could'nt like it But for me best are two S8 ports: Ultimate and Noble and also Ultimate but "normal", S6 stock-based

I'll probably go with odexlite, it's stock based. The phones are for family who just use them for daily use, texting, calls and photos. I used to have noble ROM, odexlite, Griffin ROM etc on my s6 a few months ago before I got the s8.
Hi all, I recently installed Lineage OS on my S6 however there are a few too many bugs for my liking, mainly enormous camera lag and lack of ANT+ functionality which I desperately need to pair fitness devices. I've tried the ANT+ enabler from Google Play but this didn't work, nor did the commonly touted ANT+ APK file that seems to be sent around.
In 'about phone' mine is apparently a SM-G920F (Telstra, Australia). However the back of the phone states it is a G920I. I've been to Sammobile but no firmware exists for the G920F. Am I ok to install the G920I from Sammobile do you think?
No firmware exists for G920F? This is what, then?

Thanks for the reply.
Sorry should have mentioned, none for Australia. Am I ok to install any of them, or will they include the relevant carrier's bloatware when I install?
If I can install any of them, which would be best to install?

Ahh, now it makes sense. I usually try to install the latest version available. About carrier bloat, you have to install the 'unlocked' variants. Take a look here: https://www.imei.info/download-firmware/samsung/samsung-g920f-galaxy-s6/SM-G920F/. Sort the list by carrier. The ones that says 'OPEN' are unlocked variants, and doesn't include any bloatware. Just pick one
Thanks heaps for that. Seeing as Australia isn't on the list, am I ok to install the G920F firmware instead of the G920I (seeing as it says "G920I" in my phone but "G920F" on the back), or should I stick with the latest open G920I firmware from that list?

If I got you correctly, yes, as far as I can tell its OK to install G920F firmware instead of G920I. In fact the 2 models are the same, only sold in different places (and maybe they have different carrier-band support).
