I've have a G930S (S7) from SKTelecom is there any way i can remove all the unwanted carrier apps and flash stock rom to it?
If its an Us model, I don't think there is a way but you should still check out the s7 theards for the snapdragon versions
Good luck

Hello, I bought S7 in internet. It was sold to me as Verizon version (SM-G930V). Actual software (G930VVRU2APB5) means that it's Verizon version indeed, but IMEI check shows that it's Sprint version (SM-G930P)... So I have few questions about this situation:
1. Is it bad that box and phone says that it's Verizon but IMEI says that it's Sprint? What may it cause in future? Or maybe phone is not original? Download mode works and Antutu checked confirms that it's original...
2. I wanted to upgrade my soft but how to do that? Update function shows me error while downloading so I wanted to do it via Odin but again - which version should I download? The latest from Verizon or Sprint?...
3. I live in Europe - will this phone work in our network? I mean 4G etc
My 930P has been flashed with 930V, 930A, 930T1,and 930U firmware all snapdragons are universal in that they can be flashed with all other USA carriers firmware

What about Europe firmware G930F? Is there actually any difference between USA and Europe versions?

Oh, that's right So how do you think, is there any difference between all firmwares for snapdragon. I'm wondering now which one should I download...

930U is unlocked and debloated firmware but gets updated less frequently. The rest is really up to you on which bloat you prefer. If you are wanting to root I'd suggest 930V
My device is GALAXY S8PLUS SM-G955D(SC-03J).DOCOMO
How can I Root it? I need help(╥ω╥`)

Unfortunately the SC-03J has a Snapdragon chipset which isn't currently rootable
Exynos variants are the only ones you'll be able to root.

Half correct. I dont know about the Japanese version, but HK/China Snapdragons are likely to get rooted at some point.
What's for sure is Samsung locks the bootloader of its Snapdragon S8 in the US and Canada. So indeed these variants most likely wont ever be rooted.

Japanese phones are usually heavily locked down. I remember 2-3 years ago there was a lock on top of a locked bootloader, on top of an 'unrootable' ROM/device called a 'Miyabi' lock - 3 locks. Not too sure if things have changed.

Purchased a S7 advertised as a NiB 930A. Showed up flashed with 930F but the markings on back of phone were 930A. I know in most other threads, folks recommend it be sent back to seller, but he has offered a partial refund to make it right.
My main concern is security. I don’t know who installed what on this device. Would reflashing it be a reliable method to get this device back to stock and ensure it is secure?
Any other recommendations? I would like to keep it if possible and maybe flash it to 930U.

Install "android phone info" from playstore or "cpu-z" and identify which cpu the device has, you will then know what you can and cannot do with your phone.
G930F=Europe
G930A= USA AT&T
G930U= USA (Exynos) Unbranded
CPU Exynos = Brilliant
CPU Snapdragon =Nightmare.
It's snapdragon att

Try flashing G930U but you'll always get limited reception in a different region than the USA
Thanks for the suggestion. I already sent it back.

The G930U is snapdragon, the USA doesn't have an Exynos model
Would it be possible to flash an SM-N970U US model phone snapdragon version with an international, Chinese, or other version firmware to get root and then overlay it with English fonts etc... just looking for a workaround for root?
That may work. But I wouldn't risk it. As some of the modem drivers maybe different
Would that really maybe work? I feel like someone would have thought of that already. But man, it's tempting to try.

Unfortunately the two models do not share the same CPU... So it would absolutely brick your phone.
Thanks for the feedback guys....nothing ventured nothing gained

Every site I checked said the sm-n9700 has the snapdragon 855, which is the same as the sm-970u and u1 have.

It would be nice if you provided a source for your claim, since I did so. For example, you could say: "I own the n9700, and it is exynos", or "I'm there engineer that designed the note 10, and the n9700 is exynos"
Someone who has the n9700 could check with cpu-z and settle this dispute.

But I think that site says sm-n9700 is snapdragon.
The Hong Kong Note 10 is a Snapdragon, one of the few international variants with bootloader unlock and snapdragon. Not sure if it would work, otherwise people would do it. Good luck if you try, but be careful.
I have n9700 and its Snapdragon

Hi,
I was wondering if its possible to flash US unlocked firmware onto the unlocked dual sim Taiwanese variant of the Note 20 Ultra 5G (SM-N9860).
There are certain features like Samsung pay that is somewhat limited for me because its still shows the region as Taiwan.
Of course I don't want to brick my phone but wanted to see my options in terms of changing the region to a US version.
Also, just to confirm, there is no way for this 5G variant to get 5G with US carriers, correct?
Thanks

I dont believe there is. You may be able to chop a csc together. But I'll let some one else chime in

Just use a VPN and make sure it's connected to somewhere in America and you should be fine.

VPN does nothing when the Samsung services are based on the CSC. I have PIA and Adguard but this will not work.

SAme question here.. can anyone help please? also can anyone help in this issue:
I am living in UK, have note 20 ultra 986U1. all 5g Bands are not active, on android 11 (UI3.1) there was a way to access to service menu and enable all 5bands. and I was using the 5G here. now, I updated, and that can not reach seavice menu to enable right 5G band. anyone has any idea what should I do? even I can not flash with UK rom, as UK rom is for Exynos, but mine is snapdragon. any other idea maybe? or other rom that works with my phone and also enabled 5G bands?
do you think if I just change the CSC , my problem will solve? if yes, which CSC I must flash and how?
