at&t to verizon - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

I just picked up a used s7 edge from a at&t customer, every thing that I could find said once unlocked it would work on any network. I unlocked it via at&t, checked that it works on an at&t sim and Tmobile but it is not working on my Verizon sim and their techs can get it to work either.
Will an At&t s7 edge work on a Verizon network? if so how? Or should I find a different phone?
Thanks
Andy

That is an interesting question. I believe all the US based Snapdragon S7 and S7 Edges have the same hardware, so you would just need to flash Verizon or unlocked firmware over the AT&T image. That part is confirmed, as people have gone from V to U and A, and A to U and V. If I were you, I'd probably go for the unbranded firmware, but that's a personal preference.
The real trick is getting Verizon to properly provision it.

At&t is gsm and Verizon is cdma not compatible with cdma you need to give carrier imei that's how cdma works not just with SIM card

The US (Snapdragon) S7 and S7 edge share the same physical hardware. There is a better than average chance that if he flashes the U or V firmware, and can get Verizon to put on their network, it will fly.

Question: to convert from one firmware to another do I have to install U first? I want to convert my G935T to G935A to be able to use wi-fi calling. My phone is unlocked and everything works on At&t except for wi-fi calling (Or VoLte as I see it referred to often)

If this is your first device with AT&T to support WiFi calling, you may have to get a new SIM (or get your current SIM provisioned correctly).

So are you saying I don't need to install the G935A firmware?

Which G930U firmware for Sprint phone on Verizon network?

Hi all.
I have a G930P just unlocked (USB/hardware method via GSMZambia). Currently has older OTA-restricted ROM to allow the unlock.
I'd like to update to the newest G930U firmware to get rid of all the Sprint stuff.
We are Verizon (USA) customers, and will uset he phone on the VZW network. I have already confirmed this works after the unlock (using the SIM from my own VZW S7).
Question is:
Which G930U firmware do I use? on the download pages they are specified for Sprint, Veriozn, AT&T etc.
Do I use the G930U for VZW because that will be the carrier? What is teh difference between these, I assume it is the splash screen and which radios are set as the default?
Thanks
Wanted to follow up on this.
After some careful comparison I realized that ALL the "u" firmware files listed - for each of the different carriers - are in fact all the same file. Which make sense b/c it's intended for a phone that starts off life w/ possibility to go to any network.
So after putting the "u" firmware on my formerly Sprint phone, it works flawlessly on Verizon. As far as I can tell all the relative radio bands are working equally well as my other G930V (native Verizon) phone.
Hopefully this will be helpful to somebody else in the future....
who did you get lte and voice to work. for some reason i can only get one or the other to work. not both

I didn't do anything special at all.
I literally installed the reference ROM, and it worked. It has since auto-updated itself several times, and works flawlessly.
It's my wife's phone, I have a G930V w/ Verizon firmware etc (never done anything special w/ it) and the function the same. Just a few skin differences where Verizon has added extra stuff to mine AFAIK.

I would like to know if it's possible to flash the firmware for
T-mobile I'm looking to leave verizon I know that the Verizon variant does not have 2 of the lte bands that T-mobile uses can I use Odin to Flash the 935t firmware to get the band's or am I asking something that is not possible. Thanks in advance

The answer is NO you're asking firmware to replace/add hardware and that's not possible
I have a Verizon branded s7 edge and used Odin to load the 935U PI3 firmware. I am on T-Mo now and do have LTE band 12 working (validated with LTE Discovery). The research that I did found that the US variants have all the radios in them, but some carrier variants of firmware disable certain bands. By doing the 935U firmware, I also got rid of the notice on every reboot that I was using a non-Verizon SIM. So I now have all T-mo bands and no stupid SIM message.

I can vouch for same experience as SF-IT guy. I bought a G935V and flashed with G935U firmware via odin. Works on T-mobile, even wifi calling works. Currently on the latest PI3 version of G935U firmware. I would that you search the forum to see if you can flash the G935T firmware directly. The only downside of using G935U firmware is that the FM radio chip is not enabled in the firmware. I read that the all the carrier versions (September security patch and newer) of the G935 firmware have the FM radio chip enabled. I prefer the 935U version because it there is not carrier bloatware. Samsung bloatware is still there.

So what would the FM radio chip do? Just enable FM radios is all? Because if that's the downside then it's not a major setback as not too many people use the FM radio.
I don't think you can

You definitely can. All US versions of the S7 & S7 Edge are the same hardware and can be flashed to any other US firmware. (including the U firmware that automatically works on all 4 carriers)

So what you're saying is that flashing the U version firmware will unlock by default all 930"X" and 935"X" phones? As in it just unlocks the mofo and debloats some while you're at it?
What's the catch? It seems too easy

Bloat is definitely gone on the U firmware, which is great. My phone runs faster and has more free space too.
I think some carrier features aren't supported on the U firmware. On T-mobile everything works (VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling), but I think AT&T might have some issues with those.
If the phone is SIM locked to a particular carrier, I'm not sure that automatically gets turned off or not when you switch to the U firmware. You might need to contact your carrier first to get an unlock code?

What if I got a temporary unlock from t-mobile unlock app and then flashed this firmware? Would it make it permanent? Seems quite possible, but I don't know if the temporary unlock actually unlocks the phone or just inserts a bypass that would disappear if flashed.

I unlocked my US TMo phone when stock, rooted, and am running Echoe - which has a glitch where WiFi calling sort of works (can receive calls but not make them). In the TMo forum, there are threads on U - your comments here are more specific to what I am interested.
Which U firmware are you on and are you rooted (is is updated to latest v4 bootloader version), and did you have to ODIN and full wipe with CSC or did you get by with CSC Home to preserve data?
Also, are you on U CP or did you flash TMo CP to get all the bands?.

Installing AT&T firmware on unlocked Verizon S7 Edge SM-G935V

I've purchased an unlocked Verizon S7 Edge, model SM-G935V, but haven't received it yet. I'm an AT&T customer. The phone should work on AT&T's network since it's unlocked, but I just realized it'll probably still have Verizon-ified firmware, and might not work with certain AT&T-specific features like HD voice, video calling, or voicemail. How will the Verizon firmware behave when it's on the AT&T network? Can I install the latest AT&T firmware on this phone instead, using a similar method to what people are doing for the 935U firmware? I prefer a stock AT&T firmware rather than a beta or rooting. Thanks in advance!
There's another thread in this forum "Stock Firmware for SM-935A (AT&T)". Should I just flash that to my unlocked SM-935V, and essentially turn it into a 935A? I believe the hardware of all S7 Edge models is identical, so I'm hoping that will work.
I did this and applied the 7.0 update - and now I can't seem to revert to any other software. If I were you, I'd flash the U update and forget about carrier-specific garbage.

Thanks. Did you have any problems getting LTE data to work with your 935V once it was on the AT&T network? I saw a few mentions from people saying they could only get slower data connections, until they called AT&T to "provision LTE for their SIM" or something. I get the impression it's not enough just to have an AT&T SIM card - like the AT&T network has a registry of phone IDs, and non-AT&T branded phones won't be in it, and so won't get LTE data.
From browsing the 935U thread, it sounds like that firmware is receiving updates much more slowly than the carrier-specific firmwares. The U firmware also wouldn't provide the missing AT&T-specific features I was looking for, like HD voice or WiFi calling, so I'm not convinced it would really be an improvement over just keeping the Verizon fw. But maybe I'll feel differently once I actually get my hands on the phone and play with it - all I'm doing now is reading forum threads and checking my mailbox.
Honestly couldn't tell you. I'm on Verizon with my main device (S7e on U FW). I only flashed the AT&T FW (PK1) so I could flash the unreleased Nougat files.
Now, I can't seem to flash anything but an AT&T rom.
Also FWIW, the U firmware is getting updates slower than carrier roms, but it's still the better rom - untouched by the carrier's bumbling idiot of a dev team, no pre-loaded carrier junk you can't get rid of (only disable), better battery life and better performance.
More FWIW, I don't care about HD Voice or Wifi calling - both those are irrelevant to me.
At&t release today on 2/17/17 official update to Nougat 7.0 build BQA6 with February security.
Clicking from Edge of Galaxy.
I want to do the opposite - flash G935V onto G935A, with the intention of eventually being able to flash back G935A. Not sure if I could do this, though.

I've got my phone working now. The short answer is yes, as far as I've found, you can flash any carrier's firmware to your S7 Edge. There may be some limitations if the bootloader version on your phone is different from the new firmware's bootloader version, but fortunately I didn't run into that. I went from the Verizon firmware to the AT&T firmware and then to the unbranded 935U firmware.
But for best results, a branded S7 Edge should be used with the same branded firmware, and on the same network. Otherwise you may run into some problems, or certain carrier-specific features won't work. In my case, my Verizon-branded S7 Edge is unable to get Wifi calling and HD Voice (aka VoLTE) on the AT&T network with an AT&T SIM card, no matter what firmware version I use.

Really? That's strange. I successfully flashed V firmware on my A and HD voice & WiFi Capping are active

So you did the opposite direction of what I did? I've read that AT&T is more restrictive about these features than some other carriers, which is maybe why it didn't work for me. I can't find it now, but there was an AT&T community forums thread in which a rep straight-out said that those features won't work on a non-AT&T-branded phone or other unlocked "bring your own device" phone.
To be fair, I'm not certain HD Voice isn't working, since there doesn't seem be a definitive way to test for it. With the AT&T firmware, attempting to turn on wifi calling would give me an error saying it couldn't be activated on my device. With the unbranded 935U firmware and an AT&T SIM card installed, I don't even see an option for turning on wifi calling.

Samsung S7 edge Verizon - G935V GSM unlocked

HI Folks
I have heard that Samsung S7 edge on Verizon is by default GSM SIM unlocked. Is this correct ? dont we have to do any unlock or similar process to allow GSM sim cards to work from other carriers both domestic and international. Any limitations on this compared to a truly unlocked phone when talking of GSM/LTE features only ?
Thanks
Yes bro! It is unlocked in default. I am staying in India. I have imported s7 edge sm-g935v. It is now on android 7.p. But problem is, it has Verizon bloatware, Verizon apps, Verizon boot up logo, also say sin card is not from Verizon when I use local GSM sim card.
All the calls, messages, work perfectly. Problem is mobile data don't work properly. I tried setting internet configuration manually. Play store and apps work. But browsing internet on any browser don't work.
Let me know if there is any way to use firmware completely free from Verizon. It's annoying man!

I have heard the same, but I got S7 Edge from Verizon and is not unlocked...
so I heard this as well and randomly while giving payment asked them if I could have the 4 digit code to unlock... 5 mins latter I had code and on way it was really pretty easy =)

To remove the bloatware just install the Stock 935U firmware. That will remove all the verizon bloatware. Not to sure about the unlocking. I have heard both versions, that is GSM unlocked by default and it is locked and cannot be used on any other GSM network either.
So i have s7 edge verizon and i am currently in india. i got a vodafone sim card and it was working but the network wasn't stable. all of a sudden i cant access any network on the phone but when i insert a sim card i brought along fro africa i get roaming network.. can anyone assist? thank you

I have a SM-G935V (S7 EDGE VERIZON) USA. This is what I did, I put the Sim card in another phone (T-mobile) S7 edge, then copied the APN Network verbatim. Put the Sim back into my Verizon phone and been doing ok for almost 2yrs. The data does drop when you make or recieve a call or text message. Service is very spotty, majority of the time. If anyone knows if there is a stable rom for this situation, please let me know, I'm still on pb5

Verizon models lock out certain LTE bands from use that the network does not use, simply flashing the G935U firmware would be the best bet as it will unlock all available bands and remove all the Verizon carrier bloatware. When i first had my Verizon S7 G930V i was not able to get band 12 on T-Mobile, now that i flashed the G930U firmware i get all the bands and carrier aggregation i wasn't able to before. Same goes for the G935V and U models.

I just used my SM-G935V in Japan with a Y!Mobile SIM card for 6 months with 0 issues. Granted, I only used it for data, but it worked exactly as I would have expected. We did have to manually input the APN info, but the Y!Mobile sales associate helped me out with it.

I'm getting updates fine on both s7 and s7 edge, i have the latest March patch as well.
i had the same problems with verizon's s7 edge in dominican republic. pop up messages told me it's not a verizon sim card and data and internet would not work. then I downloaded sm-g935U international, carrier-less rom and installed it on my phone. all of the sudden my phone became a generic s7edge phone without the verizon crap apps. no more pop up and everything worked fine right from the beginning. data and internet work flawlessly and phone became a super phone.
Love my s7 edge.
Would you know if flashing the g935U firmware would also add LTE bands 12 and 17? I want the phone to be more

I have this same question. My son has my old SM-G935V bought from Verizon, but it hasn't been connected to any service. I'm looking to connect it now that he's older, but I'm not paying the $XX /m Verizon wants to add a line for my kid, so I'm looking at Mint Mobile @ $15/m. I found these U firmwares:

But, which one? Do I use the Verizon one because it's a Verizon phone originally, or do I use the Tmobile firmware since Mint runs on the Tmobile network? Thanks.
UPDATE: Nevermind, I went with the T-mobile marked ROM and it worked flawlessly, at leas to connect to Mint, the service itself is garbage though so I'm going to try ATT ROM with Boost next.

Question: Flashing SM-930A to SM- 930V unlocks Verizon bands?

I apologize, I tried searching for this, but I couldnt find the answer.
Out of curiosity... if I flash my AT&T S7 Edge with the Verizon stock Rom, will that unlock all the necessary bands needed to support a Verizon simcard?
No, the AT&T S7 is missing the CDMA bands that require to run on Verizon. You would have to get either the 930V or 930U variants.

It will unlock the Verizon bands, I can personally confirm this. CDMA part gets activated too. All US S7s have the CDMA portion, its the firmware that enables or disables CDMA. For example, if you flash the T-Mobile/AT&T firmware on a Verizon or Sprint S7, the CDMA is disabled by the firmware and if you flashed the Verizon/Sprint firmware on an AT&T/T-Mobile S7, the CDMA portion is enabled by the firmware. The US unbranded Firmware has the GSM/CDMA portions enabled by default.
