I have the S6 SM-S906L model. This is the "tracphone straighttalk version of the S6 which apparently has same hardware as the Verizon 920V
This model only has 1 stock firmware available which is 5.02
I am stock and rooted on this device on 5.02 with TWRP 3.0 ...........I simply want to upgrade past 5.02
I don't care about fingerprint
I don't care about having root
I don't care if I cannot downgrade.
I just would like to be running 5..1.1 or 6.01 firmware
I have successfully TWRPed 920V and 920F 5.02 custom roms onto this device.
QUESTION : Wouldn't I need to flash compatible bootloader for 5.1 or 6.0 before I can successfully upgrade past 5.02? If so, what bootloaders would work?
I have been told I I can flash 920R6 6..01 stock rom on this by removing the bootloader and modem files from the tar and just flash................ If so, couldn't I do the same with Verizon 920V 6.01? Or even 920F 6.01?
And back to the same question........don't I need to upgrade bootlooader before upgrading ?
Any help or suggestion is appreciated.

So my friend has an S6, it's the international 920f model and it's currently on a rooted 5.0.1 with TWRP flashed. I'm not really anywhere near him, and he has no PC to flash it to stock with Odin like normal. Is there anyway he can flash it all to stock on the phone itself and then being able to update to 6.0.1 via ota?

This the official firmware for your Galaxy J7 (T-Mobile USA)
Hello,
I'm pretty new to roms. I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge G935F and want to install The King of Nougat rom. In the install instructions it asks that I install the new bootloader and baseband. I just rooted this phone and installed twrp and it is still on the stock firmware Nougat 7.0. My question is if I update the bootloader and baseband will it affect the my backup of the stock firmware if I restore back? Also will it affect any other roms i decide to install in the future or do all other roms come with their own bootloaders and basebands? Any advice is very much appreciated.
Thanks
Hi! I have flashed and engineer boot file to my S7 and it is stuck in a boot loop. I am having trouble finding the stock firmware to fix the problem. What I have found is not fixing the loop. Does anyone have the stock firmware I can use/buy to fix the problem? Can I use a different version as long as it is an AT&T variant? I cannot risk wiping the phone when i do this procedure.
Thanks!
You can't flash stock firmware without wiping.
Updato.com and sammobile.com have all the stock firmware for all model devices.
You should be able to flash any G930A or G930U firmware, except you won't be able to downgrade (i.e. you can't go from nougat to MM).

Thanks for the reply Beanvee! I'll check Updato.com. I wasn't familiar with this one. Sammobile and Samsung-firmware didn't have this firmware version. Anybody else out there have the firmware for this model?
Thanks

I flashed 7.0 on my S7. Also; it was a 930A I flashed to a 930F. Works excellently. I have Xposed as well. So the firmware can be found here in XDA.
I recently purchased a samsung s7 unlocked phone as an upgrade for me and the wife. It is an unlocked phone but has a AT&T rom, and i am asking for help installing a verizon rom stock is fine. I have tried the regular odin 3.12 and the princecomey odin i was getting a sha-256 error. please advise I am just trying to get a stock verison sm-g930 rom to work on this at&t phone
You will not be able to flash a stock Verizon ROM into the att s7 because the att phone has locked bootloader.
Flashing stock firmware via Odin on the same SoC should work no? Just custom and downgrading that locked bootloader prevents?
Plenty of people flash G930U over their G930A/T/V's
