from what i understood the difference between those two models is the dual sim?
i own a SM-G955FD .. i wanted to ask if it's possible to flash a SM-G955F firmware on it.
btw, is there a way to find out on which firmware i am exactly at? i mean, i have the build number, but i'm not sure of which country.
thank you!
There is no difference in the firmware for 955F & 955FD.

wouldn't it cause problems with the dual sim functionality? (software wise)
and if it wont.. that means i can just flash any of the F firmwares on my FD phone?

The software(firmware) is equipped to identify whether it is a Single SIM or Dual SIM variant. You wont find any Dual SIM version of the firmware exactly for this reason.

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

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.
Hello, I bought S7 in internet. It was sold to me as Verizon version (SM-G930V). Actual software (G930VVRU2APB5) means that it's Verizon version indeed, but IMEI check shows that it's Sprint version (SM-G930P)... So I have few questions about this situation:
1. Is it bad that box and phone says that it's Verizon but IMEI says that it's Sprint? What may it cause in future? Or maybe phone is not original? Download mode works and Antutu checked confirms that it's original...
2. I wanted to upgrade my soft but how to do that? Update function shows me error while downloading so I wanted to do it via Odin but again - which version should I download? The latest from Verizon or Sprint?...
3. I live in Europe - will this phone work in our network? I mean 4G etc
My 930P has been flashed with 930V, 930A, 930T1,and 930U firmware all snapdragons are universal in that they can be flashed with all other USA carriers firmware

930U is unlocked and debloated firmware but gets updated less frequently. The rest is really up to you on which bloat you prefer. If you are wanting to root I'd suggest 930V
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.

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:
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=0C53FCC1D0CA11E7A5F9FA163EE8F90B
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
