Hello seniors
i got a s7 box and model no. shown in settings is sm-g930fd with baseband -G930FXXU1APEQ,
and in the phone info app
PRODUCT CODE: SM-G930FZDUXSP
PDA VERSION: G930FXXU1APEQ
CSC VERSION:G930FOLB1APEQ
BASEBAND VERSION: G930FXXU1APEQ
ANDROID VERSION : 6.0.1
i assume as per device seems either of Thailand, Vietnam or Cambodia
but the App says Singapore and model as SM-6930F
Anyways I am in India, but want to use a network which works only with VoLTE, but when I try to activate it it says VoLTE is not supported by your current software version. So seeking help regarding changing region Rom shall solve my issue and if it does , which country variant would best suit for me (preferably India, not an issue if any country variant supports VoLTE).
Expecting expert advise on how to update to another country variant Rom, or any other thing could solve the issue.
thanks
Amit
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.)
What version firmware and CSC is the American non LTE version? I figured out I have the Korean version running R760XXU1APL2/R76O0XA1APL2. Would it be possible and safe to flash the US firmware if i I knew which ones they were and where to find it?Thanks.
What do you think?
I'm on the T-Mobile network in the USA, with my unlocked international S7 (SM-G930F), running Android 6.0.1, which reports baseband version G930FXXU1BPJJ and build number MMB29K.G930FXXU1BPLB.
The phone has been bugging me to update to Android 7.0 for a while now, which I ignore, because I'm just not a fan of running the first major releases on my daily drivers. But, I am curious to keep my eye on what versions become available in what regions. Which leads to questions about what international region codes are best matches for use on a USA GSM carrier.
I matched my build number to firmware revision number on updato.com, and I see that it is designed for the SouthEast Europe region (code SEE). Also, I purchased this phone through Newegg in California. Is the SEE region code a good match for T-Mobile USA? It's my understanding that a Samsung stock firware update can and often does replace the baseband (modem/bootloader?) and software ("ROM").
Any opinions on:
What other international region codes would be recommended for USA GSM (T-Mobile, AT&T)?
Slightly off topic:
Is Android 7.0. the latest available stock firmware from Samsung for the SM-G930F? (it seems well past time for an official 7.1 release from Samsung)
bump
is it possible to maybe convert this phone to european firmware? I'm not sure if ALL variants have carrier specific things or not but just curious because the T-Mobile version has T-Mobile everything
