What happens if i update my sprint note 5 with a international firmware?

i unblocked my sprint note 5 920p to use it with any provider, What could happen if i update manually with a international firmware instead a sprint firmware?

I dot think will start up, there is a tutorial in XDA developers about installing a kernel so you can flash roms made for other models of Note5 and did not work for me..
So so far we are stuck with sprint original firmware and OMR rom which i think is the only rom available for Note 5 SM-N920P

how could you unlock it ?

if you have APH1 you can now flash API3 to have unlocked g935u

So i had taken the update for my verizon g935v which updated to APH1 which disabled you from going to the 935u... well 935u received a new update. API3 is now installed on my phone. Heres the screenshot. check it out!

Thanks I was just going to post and confirm this. I'm on PI3 from PH1 as well. I'm uploading PI3 now and will post the link here when it's done.

is this only if you are rooted?

No, if you don't want to root, you can have stock u firmware without root, but you're not going to have WiFi calling or volte without root, at least you had to have root before haven't checked on the new firmware.

If we update from PH1 without root can we go to PH3 and follow the root process

On sammobile there is a USA version and also a USA (Verizon) version. Is there any difference in the files?

What else is broken on this Firmware for Verizon? I don't care about Wifi Calling or VoLTE.

Vvm I think that's it.

OK, do you have to root the FW to be able to use it?

I get the dm-verity issue when I flash this on my ph1 device

Here if you want to root here is a new root bat with latest supersu image just extract zip enable adb on phone plug in phone run the root.bat
S7Root.zip
Then to fix volte and VV mail and wifi calling flash this in flashfire

I dont think this is a U firmware issue, I had this issue on rooted PH1 too.

Hi, when you say unlocked, you mean SIM unlocked?
As far as I know Verzon´s s7 edge comes factory sim unlocked or do I have to flash this firm to hav it sim unlocked?

Is it possible to flash TMO firmware on vzw gs8+?

I know the new odin has userdata flash support, has anyone flashed TMO over vzw gs8p?

I don't think I've heard of anyone flashing user data yet

Has anyone flashed another carrier or unlocked version yet? I did it with the S7, but I haven't seen anything with this phone yet. I would love to flash the unlocked version.

Check the R&D carrier switching thread in the S8 forum.

Thank you

How to add Sprint Call Plus on unlocked s8+?

I'm using an unlocked s8+ on Sprint network. Everything works include Wi-Fi calling. But I didn't get any update for call plus like Sprint version did.
Is there any way to add call plus on unlocked s8+? Hope I don't have to flash Sprint firmware.
Thanks

According to seawolf, the Sprint Community Manager:
"Only Sprint phones will get CallingPLUS because that's our product, not Samsung's."

Ok, I have the same problem. I have a G955U1, which firmware will give me CALLING PLUS and VOICEMAIL, SPR g955u or g955u1?

Just for updates, I flashed Sprint firmware and been using the call plus feature - I like it.
The only problem is I can't dial certain numbers, like #CHP or #NHP.

I just flashed my phone with Sprint firmware. Are you supposed to get the Sprint splash screen? I didn't.....I cant find the Calling Plus setting. Where is it?
PS. Just checked....no internet while on a call. So, not working, why?

TMO OnePlus 7 Pro

So... I have sim unlock, received bootloader unlock code from one plus... now what? From what I have read, I am able to root the stock firmware with Magisk.
If I want to go the custom rom route, it looks like a majority of the roms are based on international version and I need to convert to international first.
I did hear the TMO firmware is optimized for their Network for volte and wifi calling, so if I do change to international, what will be the advantages/disadvantages?

I'm using the int version of the OP7P with a TMO US Sim and cannot report any problems, VoLTE and VoWifi do work.

I think @joemossjr found there may be a LTE band priority difference between international and T-Mobile specific ROMs. TBH, I stick to an official T-Mobile ROM primarily because I want to get the best possible performance on T-Mobile's network.

I'm on T-Mobile, but have a rooted international rom installed. VoLTE and VoWifi ALWAYS work without issues.

So what's the advantage for a rooted international rom vs a rooted tmo rom?
My understanding is that most of the custom ROMs available are based off that version, but if I stay stock and rooted, other than updates coming faster, would there be any reason to do the conversion?

Well, the international rom comes straight from oneplus, so it won't be over bloated with T-Mobile background apps. Won't have the magneta boot screen. Of course these things can be delt with in a rooted tmobile rom version. So mainly quicker updates (fixes).

Thanks for the feedback. I know the international version is way more popular than tmo, so the conversion is inevitable. Maybe someone will be able to work some magic and be able to help us figure out what the tmo optimizations are and have some kind of patch we can zip with twrp.

That would be awesome! But yeah, I'd like to know if there's a huge difference in the mobile data or whatever compared to the T-Mobile rom as well.

Anyone know? I'm just wondering if the only advantage using the T-Mobile rom over the International one is better Volte and Vowifi? Or are they pretty much the same?

Using the int version (bought it to avoid the unlock and reflash hassl, return the TMO OP7P.to the TMO shop after I found out after having asked when buying) with US and DE TMO sims, I did not find any issues. The OP7P finally supports VoLTE and VoWiFi with German TMO which the OP6 did not.

The only thing I've noticed so far running International on T-Mobile is a couple times I've lost signal completely and I'll get two SIM card symbols in my staus bar until I reboot. Otherwise it's been perfect.

I'm on TMO, bootloader unlock, rooted with twrp installed, for some reasons i can't install adaway it says not enough storage. I have plenty of storage like 230G. Can't find any answer as to why.
