Hey guys
Any difference between G930F and G930FD apart from dual sim? Processor? Any issues / availability of root and ROM between the two? Had bought a G930F but being offered a G930FD .. So wanted to know before I take that one..

Hi Guys,
i am not so aktive like in the old days in installing and modding ROM so may be its a dumb question.
I have a european Samsung Galaxy S7 and i want to take it to India. So i would like to install a Asian (Indien) ROM so it has language choice like (Englisch (India)) and other settings relevant for India.
Can i do this and if yes which ROM should i use?
Thank you
Sam

Indian version uses Dual SIM you can't flash it I guess.
Nobody knows if the model G930-F can be used in some way also in dual sim modality?

Single SIM version has no SIM-2 pins present. So can't convert it to Dual SIM version by flashing a different firmware. But the opposite can be done I guess.

So, is there no hope? Are you sure that 930F model hasn't SIM-2 pins?
Do you think the differenze between F and FD models could be in the phone and not in the slot?
I don't need the Dual SIM but would like to have Indian language pack and other Stuff on the S7. Becasue it's a gift for someone and i bought it in Europe.

So, if I insert the slot of FD model in a F model, do you think F model will work with two sims??

Nope. If it's just that why didn't Samsung sell all the phones with a DUAL SIM capability. FD versions have the pins for the SIM-2 where F doesn't have it.
Hi,
I have a S8+ with the model SM-G955FD and was wondering if I am able to download the firmware for the model SM-G955F?
The phone was purchased outside of Australia and doesn't use the Australian (Telstra) firmware that I would like it to. I just figured they are the same phone just different model numbers so there shouldn't be any issues right? I might just lose a couple features or something but the phone should work correctly?
Thanks in advance.
Yea, the G955FD is the dual SIM Exynos variant, right?
I'm sure the dual SIM uses the same firmware as the single SIM, so you should have no worries flashing Aussie firmware.
But I would suggest you flash the XSA (Aussie unbranded) firmware, not Telstra firmware. You'll lose nothing, but you'll get faster updates.

I thought as much, thanks so much for clarifying. I will download the XSA firmware as well.

I'm using Metro PCS service on a Singapore XSP and experiencing some terrible 4G service. Is there anything I can do about this, looked perhaps flash smother CSC onto my 955FD?

Hi there I am a silly person who purchased a Galaxy S8+ from Kogan which is flashed with Emirates firmware
Its model SM-G9f55FD G955Fxxu1AQL5
No VOlte and Samsung pay etc
I need to use Telstra network (im rural but in a VOLTE area) and so I need to flash it with Australian Firmware so it gets all the local features.
I would just like to know how I know what chipset to use - I dont think its snapdragon
And where to get the firmware.

Here's the XSA (Australia) firmware:

Flash it. Doesn't matter if your device is G955F or FD, the ROMs are exactly the same.
Does the method works with G955J SCV35 model? I'm running NTDocomo firmware on KDDI model to unlock network (single SIM) . I wan't to flash unlocked U firmware but getting scared that the phone will be bricked.
Hi,
I recently moved to India and have the Unlocked S8+ G955U model with me.
I am not getting the Volte (Jio sim) on it when connected to wifi.
So I want to flash with Indian variant G955FD.
Since I am flashing with different model stock ROM will this work? or I cant as it is Exynos and my device is Snapdragon.
Also need steps how to backup current existing G955U stock from the phone.

Short answer: NO!
You CAN'T FLASH -FD- firmware on a -U- device!
It is Exynos and my device is Snapdragon.

No you can't. The firmware is different to match the hardware.
Hi
Anyone trying installing G930FD on G930F. I have an australian Galaxy S7 which I want to flash with Indian G930FD. I want to do this because, I am giving away my mobile to one of my family member in India.
Thanks in Advance
Most 930F and FD firmware is the same package and should work on both devices.

FD are dual SIM ROM. For weird reason, Samsung only released Dual Sim variant only in India.
Firmware is still the same, it just goes by hardware detection. If a second SIM is present the firmware reads it, if not then it doesn't. You can technically make a G930F dual SIM by changing the board and faking a second IMEI.
Here's a few previous questions on the same topic

g930fd to g930f
friends, my g930f changed alone to g930fd after undo root ...
The problem is that the SIM does not work anymore ...
how to get back to g930f?
Hi guys!
So...yeah. Another one of these. But I never seem to find a very clean answer. I'd like to know if there's any hardware difference between those two. I can see both are Exynos CPU, and both have the hybrid SIM/SD slot. Is there any other hardware that could possibly be different? Anything else I should look for? Can I try to flash the G9700 firmware on this unlocked G970F/DS?
Thanks!
G9700 is Snapdragon device so it's not possible because G970F is ******* Exynos.
Thanks...I would have thought G9700 HK model was Exynos too. Sadly I can't check it anymore, my previous S10E took water damage T.T
