Is it possible?
I've tried to flash my device with the CDMAWorkshop 2.7 but there are no EVDO tab and some other features. I can't find any newer version with full functionality. like 3.6 or 3.8. Demo versions can not write PRL's and EVDO/CDMA settings.
qpst 2.6.366 can't flash this modem too. Is there any way to downgrade CDMA firmware without any brick?
I'm thinking no, but wondering if it is OK to flash a stock Odin fw that is different from the device's carrier? Has anyone tried this? From what I recall from other Samsung devices, worst case is it would fail but not brick the phone. But still want to see if there's any feedback for this phone.
Have a SM-N915V here (SIM unlocked) in Canada and would like to flash a Rogers stock fw onto it if possible.
I guess NO
Reason : both the device have different partitions(that is the only thing i guess). if partitions can be matched it can be tried as hardware is more or less same.
Still i would suggest take a full Nandroid backup including the efs, and flash the firmware, even if you brick you can recover.
Thanks. I assume this is where .PIT's come in - but I understand the danger of force-flashing a PIT of one model to another model. Too scared to brick. Will stick with Verizon firmware ;D
I am trying to change a sm-920t to an sm-920r4. I would like to use this phone with us cellular but because it is a 920t it's not possible. Is there a way to root the phone and change this? I'm familiar with Odin and changing firmware but I don't know about changing models? Any help appriciated.
I bought 2nd SK Telecom unit (930S), which has same SoC as 930F. Is it possible to flash 930F modem to 930S? I get this issues regarding mobile network in LTE doesn't work well, I have to lock it to WCDMA in order to make network run again. I suspect this as modem issues, but is it? Or is this OS problem? Tried 3 carriers, problem persists.
While they are the same SoC, there are some differences that will make flashing G930F over G930S result in bootlooping.
I assume you're not in South Korea?
The firmware will be configuring for Korean carrier / networks. Your best bet would be flashing TWRP, then using this to change your device to your carriers CSC https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-30-t3392957

It could be the stock ROM on there (with sk apps). When I bought mine I immediately flashed TWRP, NAND backup and flashed a custom TW ROM and had zero network issues. I never bothered seeing if the stock ROM was worth using. I'm using BlackPearl with zero problems with network or otherwise on AT&T.
I should clarify many custom ROM's work on goth 930F and 930S, but stock 930F images will bootloop a 930S.
hello, im using g930s too with g930s stock bootloader and baseband/modem. but with hyper alvi 4.1 rom. still got problem in 4G mobile network signal. should i try to change csc or modem file? i think the csc was from wrong country, could that be the culprit? thanks guys
To get faster updates?
Possible to maybe put the N986U1 firmware on it, but I think it uses a different modem - only other firmware that would be compatible in the N986N firmware.
Has anyone tried? no. I don't want to brick my £1000 phone
Does anyone want to try brick their £1000 phone? no
Right now 9860 has the most updated rom. Just FYI
