I have a Samsung S7 G930VL. This is the Straight Talk Verizon variant. It is now unlocked but there are still no hotspot options in the settings, even when using an actual Verizon sim card. Is it possible to flash the stock G930V firmware to the device? Anyone know of another way to open up the hotspot settings? I'm assuming they were removed for Straight Talk...

I have a sprint s5 rooted and flashed to 5.0 MOAR rom.
Im trying to use my straight talk service from my note 2.
Installed the SIM and it says "invalid SIM card"
Copied my APN settings over but the APN file disappears every time I save it.
Any ideas?

note 2s were mostly factory unlocked. what carrier are you trying to use with straight talk? (AT&T, T-Mob or VZW? i excluded sprint because if it was sprint via straight talk, it would have worked without issue)
This is happening to a s5 that I recently bought. Has there been a fix for such?
reflash the rom in TWRP. do it as a dirty flash. I had the same issue with MOAR a few times, a dirty flash fixed it
I own an unlocked Samsung G920A which I actually flashed to a G920AZ (Cricket Wireless (who is owned by AT&T)). I now want to flash to T-Mobile as I want to be able to 1. get Marshmallow. Cricket may never. 2. Be able to use WiFi calling and you can only do that with the TMO image (from what I read). I downloaded the G920TUVU3EPD1_G920TTMB3EPD1_G920TUVU3EPD1_HOME.tar and using Odin tried, but it fails.
Is it possible to flash to the T-Mobile firmware/ROM ?
If it is impossible, then I think I would want to go to the G920A again to get Marshmallow 6.0.1, then simply pop the T-Mobile SIM in, update APN, etc. Unfortunate though as the LTE bands all work. Seems sh***y it wouldn't work to use their firmware.
My friend got a used SM-G920R4, has AT&T, and wants root. I want to get the AT&T stock firmware to put on it, then root it. The sim works once AT&T settings get added to the network list, however mobile data doesn't work. He is running Android 6.0.0 and has an unlocked bootloader.
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
Have an unlocked tmobile s8 active I'm using on the AT&T network that I'd like to be able to use wifi calling on cause i get lousy cell reception at my place, is it possible to flash the AT&T fireware onto the device? ive already tried using odin and the stock AT&T 8.0 android oreo firmware i found in a different thread but it fails.
