I just recently purchased a Verizon S7 (SM-G930V). I also just recently found out that VZ doesn't push updates to non VZnetwork 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 own an unlocked Samsung G920A which I actually flashed to a G920AZ (Cricket Wireless (who is owned by AT&T)). I now want to flash to T-Mobile as I want to be able to 1. get Marshmallow. Cricket may never. 2. Be able to use WiFi calling and you can only do that with the TMO image (from what I read). I downloaded the G920TUVU3EPD1_G920TTMB3EPD1_G920TUVU3EPD1_HOME.tar and using Odin tried, but it fails.
Is it possible to flash to the T-Mobile firmware/ROM ?
If it is impossible, then I think I would want to go to the G920A again to get Marshmallow 6.0.1, then simply pop the T-Mobile SIM in, update APN, etc. Unfortunate though as the LTE bands all work. Seems sh***y it wouldn't work to use their firmware.
Hi folks,
I have an American T-mobile factory unlocked Galaxy note edge (SM-N915T) that I use in the UK on Three's network.
I would like to flash an official unlocked international ROM, preferably with a Marshmallow, so I get faster updates (Tmobile is very slow at this) plus no additional Tmobile's widgets and apps.
Any suggestions? I tried flashing a BTU region N915FYXXU1DPC3 via odin but got an error, I imagine it is not compatible with my phone?
Is there any way to wipe at&t and write stock bell mobility on the s7
Thanks
The model # for the Bell and AT&T models are not the same so it would not be possible to use Odin to flash a stock Bell ROM over the AT&T ROM as the process would not pass Odin's security check.
The S7 from AT&T has a locked bootloader which means unsigned AT&T software cannot be loaded onto the phone without tripping Knox.
All canadian models use the Exynos model. Bell's software wouldn't be compatible with your snapdragon version
Thanks guys
Ok, so my question ha a few points here. I have been flashing roms for many years but never really though of this until recently as I now have an unlocked phone.
1. As my Sprint Note 5 is unlocked, can I flash say the Unlocked Version of software to the phone taking away carrier branding? I manage a store from another carrier and I hate that when I boot my phone it shows Sprint. I know it will not trip knox as long as it is Official Stock software.
2. If I do flash said Unlocked version software replacing Sprint software, will it change my connection at all? I have seen that flashing ATT software on a Verizon device did manage to improve ATT tower connection however I wonder if this is maybe a placebo effect as opposed to actually changing the bands and connections the device makes.
If you guys could help me out that would be great. :good:
Cheers
There is no unbranded firmware for the Sprint model because well, it is a exclusive model so even if you flash XAS instead of SPR firmware some or all apps will still appear. The only way to get rid of everything Sprint is via custom ROM= tripped KNOX. The SM-N920P cannot run another firmware.
Have an unlocked tmobile s8 active I'm using on the AT&T network that I'd like to be able to use wifi calling on cause i get lousy cell reception at my place, is it possible to flash the AT&T fireware onto the device? ive already tried using odin and the stock AT&T 8.0 android oreo firmware i found in a different thread but it fails.
