I have a factory unlocked sm-g920t.
Unbranded from amazon.
I flashed tmobiles firmware (G920TUVU5FQE1_G920TTMB5FQE1_G920TUVU5FQE1_HOME.tar.md5 this one) from 6.1.1 to 7.0
I lost my unlock and can not unlock with tmo's native unlock application.
If someone could direct me to the correct 7.0 firmware for an unlocked g920t to flash i'd be very greatful or help me figure out what i need to do to regain my unlock carrier status.
Any help at all would really be appreciated.
:edit:
From what i've found i may have a Cellular South model of g920t, if anyone knows how i can check my phone to find out, i'd appreciate it.
Cellular South firmware worked.

Does anyone know what is the official factory unlocked firmware for the UK model? and would flashing that firmware enable you to get ota's faster than the network locked model? (EE UK)
I'm not as concerned about this for ROM flashing. I'm wanting to find out if my G920T can use G920I or G920F modems/bootloaders, etc.
Here's my deal. I have a T-Mobile G920T. To unlock this phone I need to get away from the G920T modem. I previously had a G920T1 (MetroPCS) firmware set installed and it worked great, but the rom sucked.
I've since restored back to stock G920T and i've rooted/twrp, but I see other ROM's and I'd like to give them a shot. The catch - they all say I need to have the newest OI7 firmware installed. I'm still on the G920T sim locked OH8. The only OI7 modems/bootloaders I can find are for the G920F variant. I can't find OI7 for the G920T1 variant. I don't know if the G920F variant will sim unlock my phone. I don't want to brick my phone to figure that out, so this is the reason why I posted this question. I can flash ROM's all day long, but if I can't use my Cricket sim when I'm out in BFE then the ROM is pointless.
Does anyone understand what I'm asking?

DO NOT flash any FIrmewares through odin if its isn't your model number, if you purchased your phone and don't have an EIP you could sim unlock with the app, so any rom your on unless its not Touch wiz based (aren't any available besides touchwiz)
Currently have a G930T on ATT sim thats rooted and all (bought it because I though it would have an unlocked bootloader lol). I wanted to flash this G930A rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...30apf2stockdeodexeddebloatedrom-7-12-t3417012 because I wanted the AT&T wi-fi calling and video calling to work.... I've seen in another thread that the firmware between G930T and G930U has different bootloaders currently? Is this the case between the bootloaders of the G930T and the G930A as well? Also, does anybody know how I can find which bootloader I currently have?
Thanks.

I am looking for either Tmobile marshmallow firmware or the US unlocked Galaxy S6 firmware to install via odin to switch my unlocked Sprint Galaxy S6 over.
I am not able to find a complete set of firmware files that I need which is the bootloader, modem, rom and csc home file.
Any help is appreciated.
My Uncle got me a verizon galaxy s7 from USA and now I am trying to run a 4G sim in it but it isn't working as VoLTE is not activating ( something called Advanced HD Calling) as verizon wants verification for it and as the device is here we can't do that
I was thinking of flashing an Indian Firmware on it
Will that help me ??
Or is there anything else I can do.
Please Help.
update 1 : I managed to unlock the bootloader
If it's a Verizon S7 it'll be a G930V which uses Snapdragon, you can't flash Indian firmware on it because India uses the G930F model which has Exynos SoC.
Also despite the bootloader unlock option being available and toggleable in developer options, it doesn't actually do anything on USA models. Don't attempt to flash custom recovery, it'll brick.
Your best bet would be to flash the unbranded USA firmware (G930U) which should rid the phone of Verizon, however it's unlikely that'd let you use local carrier VoLTE.
I can run an Indian Sim in this device its just that the Volte doesn't work
I can still make it work with an app from the provider
should i just make do with the app or try the unbranded firmware?
also the other s7 my uncle sent me has FRP locked and the seller can't obviously give me his gmail to unlock it.
Is there anything I can do to bypass it or do I have to send it back to USA? also i have no clue if it has OEM unlocking enabled
