Use U firmware on SM-G930R4 - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

I have been wondering if I can use any of the U firmware on the R4.
Actually, this is just a question per se since I did the upgrade to Nougat yesterday and the U version doesn't have Nougat, I just want to know if this is possible. FYI my phone is GSM Unlocked, is not yet rooted due to me being lazy, but I know that doesn't matter since it's an Odin task.
Edit: I have made further investigation and the G930R4 uses the Product Code (USC) which is available to download for the G930U too, now I should wait for a real confirmation of this.

Answering my own question and for others to know.
You can flash any USA firmware on any USA variant.

Anyone have a combination file for S7 G930R4 Android 8?

Yes you can, flash the latest tmobile firmware file via file odin. On the tmobile s7 forums are a lot of guides to show you this. Please note this will convert your us cellular s7 to a tmobile s7 (software wise)

G955FXXU1AQH3 unlocked, bloatware grabage problem.

Hey fella's, and ladies. I just got my G955F, bought inside of the US off of the same person I usually go through. Turns out It's a UK model that came with Vodafone bloatware and shows 4G instead of LTE (even though it IS LTE). Is there a US variant? And if so can I flash the phone with any G955F variant software using odin? So I guess I'm asking, what is the best, and purest firmware if I am in the US. I have T-Mobile and I'm in Cali. Thanks ahead. (Sorry, but I posted this in the S8 section originally, like a dumb-dumb)
Also, could I flash with G955U unlocked firmware?

Here you can download the US ROM and use Odin to flash - these are official ROM's so Knox will not be tripped
NO
You CANNOT flash a G955U rom to a G955F device
It will definately soft brick or even hard brick your device
You can flash this rom ( https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G955F/EUR/download/G955FXXU1AQH3/184528/ )
No bloatware, multilang and fast updates.

DON'T GIVE WRONG INFORMATION!!!
If you don't know what you talking about, then say nothing!
You CAN'T flash G955U FW to a G955F
Do you know the difference between the G955U & G955F?
If you did, than you would have known the answer!!!

Read the post moron
He has a G955F phone with a UK ROM on it... he wants a US ROM so the link takes him to the US ROMS for a G995F phone
I didnt answer the last bit about the G955U as I only just saw that - and just to clarfiy the G955U is the Snapdragon version so no, a Exynos ROM will not work

This will be great if I can't find a US variant.

Got it. Couldn't find any US firmware on that page. Part of my question about the US firmware, or multilang firmware comes from the fact that Walmart sells G955F's. I would imagine whatever firmware is on there would be what I would want. Just don't know what that is.
-Thanks for all the replies so far. If I can't figure out what firmware comes on the US Walmart G955F phone, I suppose I will go with the variant listed above.
-Also, will VoLTE work on the multilang rom? Or is there a rom that works with T-Mobile and VoLTE? And if anyone is wondering, I wanted to Exynos variant, that's why I didn't buy G955U.

Well, I went ahead and used this firmware. Really like it, no problems at all and its exactly what you said it would be (hopefully its got great support as well). Appreciate the direction. Thank you.
If anyone finds out what comes on the US released (Walmart) G955F, I would really like to know. I've been searching and searching, and can't seem to figure it out.

No problem. Im sure that you will like it even more
If you can, please share a pic from the device info to see which CSC do you have
Hi guys, I've just got a G955F as an upgrade from Vodafone UK with lots of their bloatware. Can I flash any other firmware over it without tripping Knox or invalidating the warranty? I'm in the UK btw.

930a marshmallow update

Hello i had my unlocked s7 930a for 1.5 years now... it's getting slower so i want to update it... as i don't live in the states i dont get at&t official updates so i've been stuck in marsmallow...
My questions are...
do i have to update to nougat before updating it to oreo?
is there any detailed tutorial to update the phone?
i saw a few ones but i couldn't find those answers...
Go to the ATT forum and grab the 930U firmware and flash it. I'm on the latest 930U and it's way faster than ATT firmware

Galaxy s8 active update outside US

Hi all. I have currently bought Galaxy s8 active to use it in Europe - Poland. It is a sprint / tmobile U variant. I have checked with samfirmware and since it's on G892USQS5BSF2 version - I assume it's a sprint version. It is hard to determine as they are both coded G-892U. Anyways the phone works well but the security patch is from last year and it's still on android 8. There apparently is an update to Android 9 but the phone won't update via OTA. And so are the questions:
1. Since they both are the "U" versions - can I flash the tmobile android 9 rom on it? I am asking because it's being used in tmobile Poland network.
2. If not, can someone reassure me that it indeed is a sprint version and flashing the latest sprint rom will do no damage?
3. Any idea why the caller id and spam protection option is grayed out? Is this because of regional limitation?
Thank you

Samsung S10e not Receiving Updates (SM-G970U)

Hello guys,
I bought my brand-new Samsung S10e this year in early July and I havent received any update since the January 2020 security patch, which I assume was installed when the phone was manufactured. I was wondering if there's any issue with my firmware or anything. I have seen some recommendations for firmware flashing, I am a bit freaked out about it as I have never done it and I dont want to brick the phone. Additionally my phone is the US variant (Snapdragon) and New Zealand where I live has Exynos for the Default, further convincing me that the phone might have no compatible firmware for where I live to receive updates. I also read that it is not possible for Snapdragon to be rooted and so I was wondering if I could get comfirmation as to whether or not I could use custom ROMs. Any help, suggestions, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated, I am desperate for anything.
Phone model number: Galaxy S10e SM-G970U 128GB
Thanks in advance

Your best option is to download SamFirm 5.0 and download SM-G970U1 firmware XAA code. Youll get updates then. Search how to use SamFirm and tutorial how to flash with patched Odin.

Are you sure that I use the SM-G970U1 firmware and not the SM-G970U firmware, I just really don't want to screw it up, is there a link you could send so I'm not installing viruses? Thank you
