S6 Gallaxy SM-G920T1 6.0.1 - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First Has anyone heard of this model SM-G920T1? I have been having a hard time finding proper firmware for this device. I have an octoplus box that I would like to use, but same issue there it recognizes the device but clearly states that I have a SM-G920T1 and not the SM-G920T So that got me thinking.
Are they the same? If not can someone explain or send me in the right direction. Much appreciated.

Galaxy S6 SM-G920i or Galaxy S6 SM-G920F

Hi,
Have a LG G4 unlocked (H815) and i am looking to buy a S6 unlocked.
I have seen those 2 models G920i and SM-G920F and I have no idea which one is the best for the US.
I am on cricket and have no idea which one would be the best. Seems that both have the good LTE bands but i am not expert.
Can anyone please guide me and tell me which one you have and why? Thank you.
Anyone please? I would like to order but need to be sure which model I need to take. Thank you in advance.
I've had both on AT&T. Both worked great, but when i took them cross country, the F version seemed to have slightly better LTE coverage.

Go with the F version, in my opinion it is better as you would be able to use Samsung Pay with that and not with the I version!

Samsung Pay missing

Hi guys. I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge G935F. However, despite having the latest update on my phone, Samsung Pay is nowhere to be found. Do you think a firmware re installation would help? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!! Also, as a sidenote, I have not made any modifications to the device, as the void counter still states 0.
I also think its worth noting that I previously had a rooted S6. Would this prevent me from using Samsung Pay on my S7?

I read that the latest update on the "F" firmware removed the Samsung Pay App from the phone. The person that reported it, speculated that it might be because Samsung is about to activate Samsung Pay in European countries and they removed it until the finalized app would be available. Again, that was just speculation. But it does appear that the app was purposefully removed by Samsung for some reason.

Yes. It's only available if you meet all Samsung Pay criteria. Check their website. It has to be model AND carrier specific.
It's not on mine either. And where I live, they don't have chip & PIN protection as well (yes the cards have the chip won't ask for my PIN). So not a huge loss.

Ok thanks. My model is the G935F and my SIM is a T-Mobile one. So they probably removed it.
I checked on this with Samsung. They don't have any idea if it will reach international unlocked versions. As of now is only avail in US and carrier locked phones.
Ah got it not sure how I missed that. Much appreciated.
Yes just a small reminder ... the Galaxy S6\S6 Edge\S6 Edge+ international edition are all still waiting to get Samsung Pay... I just bought the G935F.. I really hope\wish we get S Pay soon

SM-G930F to SM-G930W8

So I probably know the answer already, just making sure. I used to live in the UK, and now I live in Canada; I still have my Galaxy S7 G930F phone. It's unlocked, so it works here. The problem is Samsung Pay - can't get it to work at all, it has the UK version installed unfortunately and doesn't want to work here; probably due to the phone not being the 930W8 version.
So I know both the Canadian and the UK have Exynos processors, so should I attempt to flash the Canadian stock ROM to my phone? Any idea whether that'd work? Or, if not, any idea how I can make Samsung Pay work and avoid this?
Thanks!

Can anyone point me in the right direction for rooting?

I have a Sprint S7 Edge that I have purposely not updated much so I can root when I have free time. I now have some free time..
I am on
Software version G935PVPS4BQC1.
Hardware version Rev0.7
Model Number SM-G935P
I have done searches for how to root this thing, but seem to be getting more confused.
Thanks
Bob

Verizon Galaxy S6 SM-G920V, Android 7.0, Root

I just received my new phone today as my secondary rooted phone, although I now feel like I bought the one wrong model out of the bunch.
For the life of me I cant find any way to root this phone online, I am hoping someone can tell me if its possible. I dont care if I trip knox or its a paid program i have to get to run, I just want to make it happen. so any and all help would be appreciated.
I am truly sorry if there is a current thread that answers this, but so far everything I have found is pretty old.
On a similar boat and it seems that Nougat cannot be rooted. You can downgrade to 5.1.1 and then root but that seems not worth it as you are giving up features that are available only in Nougat. I myself might just switch to a tmobile S6 motherboard. I have the Verizon S6 variant but I'm on T-Mobile.
I can really care less about the services lost in the downgrade. If you know how i can downgrade to 5.1.1 to then mod, I'd still love to do it. I already have a S9+, S8 for back up and an apple s6. I really want to mod this Verizon, or it will have no use

I'm fine with downgrading as long as that means I can root my phone, is there any kind of tutorial for downgrading?
