While looking around on forum posts I see people saying just restore the stock firmware with odin. Am I missing something because there is no firmware file yet for the Verizon Galaxy S7, right?
There's a stock VZW firmware on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65764861&postcount=14

Hi guys,
I really need some help here, maybe I'm just lost on how updates work?
I have an AT&T phone which was running KitKat 4.4.2, I had tons of issues upgrading to 4.4.4 but finally managed to do so last night. Months ago AT&T released the upgrade option for the S5 to upgrade to 5.0, I tried and kept getting "Setup Interrupted" errors. My girlfriend who has the same phone and the same carrier had no issues upgrading her phone to lollipop. I gave up on it. Fast-foward to last night, I managed to finally get to 4.4.4 but when I run a Software Update Check I get a message that the firmware is up to date. Same thing in Kies.
I contacted AT&T who told me Android had no "cleared" my IMEI for the update and then they proceeded to send me a copy paste from the web with instructions of flashing using ODIN. Those instructions were clearly for SM-G900F, my model is SM-G900A. Is there anything I can do to get lollipop on my AT&T S5? Thanks in advance.
As far as i know, the odin process is the same for both variants......
The only thing you have to consider is that as your device is AT&T, it comes with a locked bootloader.....meaning that ONLY an AT&T branded firmware will successfully flash.
You should be able to get the correct firmware from either sammobile dot com Or samsung updates dot com (we're not allowed to post links to those sites on XDA)

I already looked at that post, it doesnt provide me with what im looking for. I need stock rom minus all bloatware and banners and updates disable. i want to be able to just flash the phones with odin.
I think it's impossible to flash that rom that you want via Odin
Hi
I have been trying to flash the 8.0 935U Firmware to the 935P but I keep getting Fused 6 Binary 4.
I can see now from reading threads that's its not possible to flash this Firmware.
So my question is, is there any unbranded firmware I can flash to this phone in this state. Even 7.0 or custom.
Thanks

You updated the stock Sprint firmware to a newer version. It won't work.
I haven't tried this, but it was posted in the S7 flat forum.

There is a YouTube video and a link to a written directions. The files are hosted on Android file host, so it seems legit. I think @jrkruse did something similar, but I couldn't find the thread to check.
Hi,
I am trying to flash my SM-G935A AT&T S7 Edge (not carrier unlocked) with the new SM-G935U firmware (G935UUES4CRG3/G935UOYM4CRG3/G935UUES4CRG3/G935UUES4CRG3) that I dowloaded for my US AT&T S7 Edge. I upgraded my S7 Edge to the latest Oreo firmware via OTA around a month ago.
I used SamFirm to download the image to flash. Anyhow, even though I put every file into its respective category on Odin 3.13.1, I get an "SHA256" mismatch error. I've seen some instruction that say to only add the AP file onto Odin and others say to use the prince cosmey version of Odin. What could be the problem? Does the phone need to be carrier unlocked? Is my firmware too new or of the same version? Do I need to use the prince cosmey version? Is it not possible to flash the g935u firmware onto a g935a phone? Should I use another download source? Should I use the slightly older G2 firmware? Anything else I should consider?
Also, I noticed that I could not download firmware for the SM-G935A using the ATT code with SamFirm? Any reason as to why?
I realize that there are many other threads that touch upon this problem but they are either with a different edition of the phone, firmware version or some other variant. I'm posting a new thread because I want to be as thorough as possible and make sure not to brick my phone by receiving safe advice before moving forward. Thank you for your time!
Below are the SamFirm download details:

Correct Thread?
Did I post in the wrong thread or something? Is that why there is no response? Would someone be kind enought to point me in the right direction if this isn't the right section for such a question?
Thank You
Hi did you find any answers to this issue? i got stuck on same point as you...
Stock Odin checks the version on the device and fails because the U version doesn't match the A version you are "upgrading". There are patched versions of Odin that skip this check, and that is what you need to do a cross-carrier upload.

Use a patched odin to flash the firmware, it will go through.

Hi, yes it worked!
Flashed to G935U, but now need to flash back to original branded Verizon so I can sell the phone.
Looking for G935V to flash with Odin.
Thanks
