The model is a variant of the Verizon Model SM-G930V. I believe the model is also factory unlocked.

SM-G930V or SM-G930P ?

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

Oh, that's right So how do you think, is there any difference between all firmwares for snapdragon. I'm wondering now which one should I download...

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

Flashing My Note 20 Ultra 5g N9860(BRI) with SM-N986U1 firmware

Hi,
I was wondering if its possible to flash US unlocked firmware onto the unlocked dual sim Taiwanese variant of the Note 20 Ultra 5G (SM-N9860).
There are certain features like Samsung pay that is somewhat limited for me because its still shows the region as Taiwan.
Of course I don't want to brick my phone but wanted to see my options in terms of changing the region to a US version.
Also, just to confirm, there is no way for this 5G variant to get 5G with US carriers, correct?
Thanks

I dont believe there is. You may be able to chop a csc together. But I'll let some one else chime in

Just use a VPN and make sure it's connected to somewhere in America and you should be fine.

VPN does nothing when the Samsung services are based on the CSC. I have PIA and Adguard but this will not work.

SAme question here.. can anyone help please? also can anyone help in this issue:
I am living in UK, have note 20 ultra 986U1. all 5g Bands are not active, on android 11 (UI3.1) there was a way to access to service menu and enable all 5bands. and I was using the 5G here. now, I updated, and that can not reach seavice menu to enable right 5G band. anyone has any idea what should I do? even I can not flash with UK rom, as UK rom is for Exynos, but mine is snapdragon. any other idea maybe? or other rom that works with my phone and also enabled 5G bands?
do you think if I just change the CSC , my problem will solve? if yes, which CSC I must flash and how?

Yes but if it's the US model you need a paid unlock service first. If it's exynos then you don't. I had my N986U1 unlocked here.

Question Would the SM-S908E FW work on a SM-S908U1?

Just wondering to know if I can flash SM-S908E (brazil) unlocked fw on my SM-S908U1 bought in america. Will it work everything properly?

No. The E variant is Exynos. The U1 is Snap Dragon.

That's sad, once I was trying to flash any brazilian fw version. Do you know any version (further E variant)? Thanks

Complementing: Are you sure E version is Exynos? Found info here saying that it is snapdragon and B version is Exynos...

I looked again. Yes, the E version is SD. I'm still not sure it'll work though. You can't unlock the boot loader on the U and U1 versions.

Have anybody had the same experience?
I'm on my head with it. Not sure if I might try.
