I have a chance to get a AT&T S7 Edge from someone. Will I be able to throw my Sim in it and use it on my Sprint account or no?

So I need to root it first before entering my Sim? Or can I leave it stock and just throw my Sim in?
No root. Just Odin stock without the sim

Cool. So after I flash Sprint stock fw, will Sprint recognize the meid of a Att phone?
It should with the sprint Sim. Worse case scenario, you would have to root and change it manually

Does the at&t phone have to be unlocked? Or do those phones come unlocked factory? Because this person is unsure if it's unlocked. They only used it on at&t

dude, sprint will NOT activate ANY phone unlocked or not. it isn't like a gsm where the sim card carries the network for phone calls. u can unlock a sprint phone and use it on a gsm carrier but not the other way around. the only way is to clone a esn from another sprint phone and patch it to the motherboard of the att phone. i would think it would be too much trouble to fool with. i have used sprint for 10 years prob i know how the network works

Hey guys, Right now i am sitting here very confused. I have two Samsung Galaxy S4's from Sprint. They were given to me by my god sister but i cant figure out how to make them work for Straight Talk. They are both running 4.4.2 and the base band is L720VPUFNAE. I was told by sprint last night that they could be unlocked and that all i needed was a MSL number. I was given the MSL for both phones already but don't know what im suppose to do to the phones to be able to unlock them. I have looked through several threads throughout several forums and i have tried several codes such as *#0011# as well ##3423# but nothing works. I cant find any concrete answers that don't completely confuse me. So my question is...Is there anyway to actually get this phone working on Straight Talk? Does it have to flashed or unlocked first and if so how to actually do that? Is there anyway to do this without rooting the phones? If not whats the easiest way to root the phone to make this possible? Please im Just looking for some help.

IF you follow everything. And perform the international unlock plus domestic. And put the Sim card in plus set the APNs to the correct ones then you should be fine.

Since my baseband is NAE do i just use the original file or use the one for NAE mention at the end of the international unlock thread

Everythign was going perfectly fine until i got booted into philz Recovery. In the video it wasnt stated that a new rom had to be placed on the phone until after everything was wiped.
I didnt have anything on the SD hence i didnt know i had to install from the phone. So i picked the option to reboot but now I cant get past "Samsung Galaxy S4" screen on Start up. I tried to re flash the phone through odin but everything i try fails. I dont know what to do now. I cant start up or get into Recovery Mode, only download mode. When i try to get into the recovery mode all i get is a message saying "Firmware upgrade encounter an issue"
If anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it.

I have seen where AT&T and Verizon users have flashed the unlocked firmware from the G930U on their devices. Is it possible to flash the Verizon firmware on the G930U?
Update! I took the plunge and installed the Verizon firmware with Odin and all is working well so far.

Interesting... I was wondering the same thing, thanks for answering, observed one post where a fellow flashed the 930U firmware on a verizon and indicated he's using it on Cricket without a problem (even activated LTE band 17). You would think it would give a model number miss match message and fail. Thanks for info...

I picked up the unlocked one because it was $10.00 cheaper to but out right and from Best Buy it had a $75.00 gift card. So I picked up a Gear Vr with it. I wanted Verizon WiFi calling and visual voice-mail which you cannot do with the unlocked one. Since the others can flash the unlocked firmware it mad3 since the unlocked could flash Verizon. Glad I did not create a pretty paper weight.
There's a whole thread on it in the edge forums, many have had success unfortunately for me I can't get data and phone calls working on mine so I had to go back to the Pe1 build.

Good to hear I've been wanting to give it a try again but haven't felt like sitting in front of the computer for two hours if it doesn't work. Maybe tomorrow or the next I'll give it a shot again.
Thanks for taking the plunge! I've been wondering if it was possible or not to flash the 930V software on my 930U. Good to know it is. Any idea if flashing this and taking Verizon OTAs could possibly lock down the phone in any way? Like make it impossible to go back to the 930U stock software at some point down the line if say I switch carriers or want to sell the phone. This is what is mainly keeping me from doing this as I'm not sure.

Should be able to flash back to 930u firmware via Odin. Worst case may need a newer version than the original 930u firmware.
Okay cool. I might give this a shot. Thanks!

There is no Verizon G930U firmware. The G930U has its own firmware with no carrier bloat. I installed the the G930V PE1 firmware for the Verizon version of the phone on my unlocked G930U. If you want the G930U unlocked firmware you can find it on the AT&T S7 forums. It will work on the G930V but you will loose WiFi calling and visual voice-mail.

I have no idea. I bought the phone on a Friday and on Saturday I flashed the Verizon firmware. I have used the phone for a week and half with the Verizon firmware and it is fine. I only used the U firmware for one day. I wanted the Verizon version all along but Best Buy had the unlocked 930U for $10 cheaper than the Verizon version and a $75 gift card with purchase.

So my phone is S7 Edge G935P. Playing around on it trying to get the trifecta of root, rom, and data. So I odined the G935P.I3 and it worked, then rooted, no data. Then I flashed a Verizon ROM just to see if it would work it did, I have data, but is there a way to activate my sprint phone with a Verizon ROM? The rom I used is stang5litre edition 5.0 s7e by blackrain. Everything works except for the Verizon stuff obviously, so I'm just curious if it is possible to change those things to sprint?

You will still need a donor Verizon phone to activate the Sim. You will only have lte coverage as cdma on Verizon still requires imei number. I would just flash the U firmware if you are thinking of going... Same service minus the bloat ware
This is stock firmware to return back to stock etc ... Flash this with odin!

I honestly don't have the device I sold mine so flash at your own risk bootloaders might be the same or just wait for other users to test worst case you will need to flash to original firmware .. just make sure you have a backup firmware if it fails at some point

If you flash from ATT to TMob, is SIM unlocking even still necessary for it to detect a TMob SIM?

On another note, does TMO boot still have the awesome white screen you could morris code to outer space with and the TMO jingle that you can hear in outer space also? Its annoying as heck, when your working on your phone trying to be quiet and not light up the whole house when your phone boots.
