G930F users, Which country?

Planning to try converting GS7 G930FD-Dual SIM to G930F-Single SIM by simply flashing the firmware of G930F.
FYI both are EXYNOS Version
Maybe flashing the right firmware will get the trick working. Will there be any issues with flashing except losing Dual SIM?
Will be good to know in which country is the G930F official sold so as to flash the appropriate firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G930F/
PS: Bought the Duos version because my country only sells it.
Thanks

I would say keep the Duos version. I'd to buy the duos as my country also sells only that version (yes there are other places to get but without warranty) and the best part for me was no bloatware. None at all.
Things that came pre-installed was general google stuff, MS word/excel/onedrive etc, facebook/whatsapp/intagram and the Samsung's own stuff.

The Global version single sim Exynos(G930F) also comes with minimal bloat.
So flashing its Firmware wont bring much bloats

Samsung S7 model SM-930FD - how to enable Samsung Pay / Westpac Tap and Pay Australia

I live in Sydney and have a new Samsung Galaxy S7 Duos, model no. SM-930FD, shipped from Hong Kong. Android 6.0.1, baseband version G930FXXU1APB6.
My previous unlocked S6, purchased in Australia, happily supported the Tap and Pay feature in the Westpac Bank app, which is enabled by Samsung Pay.
Unfortunately Westpac Tap and Pay is not supported on the SM-930FD model, as apparently Westpac limits the feature to certain firmware versions.
Am keen to figure out if I can update the firmware version to the same as the single SIM, SM-930FD model sold in Australia, which the Westpac mobile app does support?
Will that firmware version support dual SIM?

Have been doing the research.
I'm thinking to flash the phone with SM-G930F XSA firmware
I guess I might lose the Dual SIM feature, but that's ok.
Any comments gratefully received..

let me know how this works out... the only thing I am waiting for to buy my 935F is samsung pay... I refuse to use the USA carrier versions

The problem is how we flash the rom without triping KNOX? Will the Exynos SOC work flawlessly with a firmware used on the Snapdragon SO?

Can you use the drivers for an AMD chipset to run the hardware on an Intel-based motherboard? Same problem, same answer.

^^ That's what I was implying

Even I wish if this was available to my country but alas not even google pay/wallet nor any other similar app is working.
I downloaded the apk manually and tried to run it but would not go beyond the fingerprint/pin recognition screen.

I got it working pass that screen but only with a pin. I can't add any cards tho, it wont connect to the server

Getting a T-Mobile S7 & flashing or converting to US/stock firmware (SM-G930U)?

I'm thinking of getting an Galaxy S7 (T-Mobile version, SM-G930T) for my wife to replace her Nexus 4 which is on T-Mobile prepaid but my concern is "carrier bloat" that T-Mobile installed on the phone.
1. Is it possible to convert this phone to the regular US/stock version of the S7 which i believe is SM-G930UZKAXAA, I believe? I did some Googling and I see some discussions about "Odin" which I assume is the software to flash/convert the SM-G930T to the SM-G930U version?
2. Will Samsung Pay still work after converting it from the T-Mobile version to the US/stock version?
3. Any issues/disadvantages/problems to be aware of between the T-Mobile specific and non T-Mobile firmware to consider, in consideration of whether or not to convert?
Thanks, David

G930U and G935U firmware is maded for any US version that IS ALREADY UNLOCKED and want to convert it so you can remove all bloat preinstalled apps from the carrier and use the phone like it was G935F or G930F..
1- you can flash the U firmware on any US varaint Sprint, T-Mobile, ATT, but will REQUIRED a unlocked cell, and the bootloader had to be low or same as the U you want to flash.
2- will work, i already test it.
3- none, the U firmware is official from samsung and is created for that.. to be flashable on S7 unlocked for take it for overseas.
PS: its the same as g930F so mobile data icon will be enable, wifi call will not be there... and you can use bluetooh sharing.. etc.. but t-mobile features will be removed, if you have more experience you can enable them back.

I use a stock US galaxy s7 from T-Mobile, SM-G930T. From what I can tell it shouldn't cause any problems as it's not a custom Rom but stock firmware you can download directly from Samsung website.
I did some searching and found a few posts about sm-g930u extending battery life over sm-g930t with tmobile bloatware (can't say for certain as I've not tried myself).
In all it shouldn't harm functionally since it's stock firmware.
Hope this helps.

I extensively tested the U firmware before moving to T firmware (because I moved to the T-M side of Tracfone; the phone itself is ex-VZW); I have had exactly zero issues (with either U firmware or T firmware).
A tidbit; as a SM-G930T, you have access to both VoLTE *and* wi-fi calling - this was not the case for even VZW-native customers, let alone MVNO customers. (This has, in fact, been covered in the Verizon Wireless thread for the same phone.) It does not matter if you are merely using an MVNO (such as Tracfone). NO free Netflix, though. (Mice.)

Flash Non carrier OS on G920I (Currently Claro Carrier)

I Have a G920I which is branded by an international carrier called Claro, Is there a way for me to flash just the non carrier version of the OS thru kies? I don't have root just want it debloated and Ive already disabled apps but don't want claro showing up upon startup also.
If this is possible, will OTA still work?

Hi,
I think it's safe to install a different country 920i firmware using Odin. I used to have Indian firmware on my Brazilian 920i and it still receives OTA without problems, since the device is still stock.
All the best,
~Lord

SM-G9550 - Flash G955U1 or other firmware to device (stock)? Samsung Pay?

I've just received the SM-G9550 (6gb/128gb dual sim), which appears is the HK variant (when I clicked to enable Samsung Pay, it prompted to download Samsung Pay HK, I immediately canceled).
Based on some preliminary searching, apparently this model uses Snapdragon (same chipset as US models it seems), and as a result, someone suggested that the device may be compatible with SM-G955U1 firmware.
Is anyone aware whether it is indeed possible to flash stock SM-G955U1 to the device successfully?
Will Samsung Pay then correctly install as the US-variation of Samsung Pay?
Are there any gotchas I should be aware of?
Thanks!

Boy, you'd think someone would know the straight answer.
I have a 955F, converted to Note 8 via CarHD ROM v9, and I believe Samsung pay works on it.
