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)..

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
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 All,
Is there any way to essentially put Tmo version of the software on the AT&T LG G5?
I gave my AT&T G5 to a friend, with the unlock code, and they've been fine on Tmo, but I've noticed they are not getting the AT&T updates (Sept 30). In additional I see the Tmo Updates are further ahead than AT&T anyways.
Since they are on Tmo, is there anyway to flash the stock Tmo software on?
Thanks in advance!
I hear its possible but you would run into so many problems such as bootloops and bricks. Its best advised you dont flash t mobile firmware on it. I remember when I had an LG G2 from verizon someone made a stock custom rom the the t mobile variant. That would be your best option, to make a custom rom from the t mobile g5 and flash it to the at&t variant. But since it will be a custom rom, you will get notifications saying you have an ota but they never work
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 from US Cellular SM-G930R4. I'd like to use a custom ROM with it, but I'm pretty sure its a Snapdragon, and from what I see on these forums, all the custom ROMs are for Exynos. Why is that, and are there any compatible ROMS I could use?
Thanks
US S7's are all Snapdragon models, which all have a locked bootloader. With a locked bootloader you can't modify the boot image which are what custom ROM's change. So no there aren't any compatible ROM's for your device.
Exynos lets you unlock the bootloader easily, which is why it has all the custom ROM's.
Hrmm ok thanks for your reply.
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.
