Just bought this model, I believe its the Chinese version with Snapdragon 820. My question is would I be able to try a different firmware, obviously a Snapdragon 820 version like the G935 (USA)?
Have you installed Google Play in the G9350?

Does it have FM Radio? I mean any version of S7/S7 Edge has FM Radio or not?
Thanks
I hope for your sake you purchase a Hong Kong G9350 (like mine) and not a Chinese one. Chinese one does not have Play store or any other Google services for that matter.

The G9350 has google play pre-installed already. No FM radio. Not sure what flashing that AP will do.

The Chinese variant of the SM-G9350 does not have Google play pre-installed. The Hong Kong variant however, does. If you get the Chinese version, you would have the flash the factory image of the Hong Kong variant to get Google Play.

Samfirmware and yes it will install Playstore for you
if you have the CN Version you will have to install the whole firmware
Hi,
I've also bought a Galaxy S7 Edge in Hong Kong, Model version is SM-G9350 and runs Snapdragon 820 CPU, but it is not clear to me if I can flash custom firmware on it. Is there something else I need to check?
When I press Power+Home+Vol Up, I'm able to access a Recovery Mode that says something like : MMD29M.G9350ZHU2APD1 . Does this mean I can install a or any ROM on my phone? If uncertain, is there any risk to do so if I try or will it just fail (without bricking the phone)?
Thanks for your feedback.
Aurora rom 3.0
I'm running this rom on g9350 hong kong variant. I'm in Canada on Rogers and it's working beautiful.
It has a bunch of custom features, (some are locked in Mandarin) but completely usable.
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-8320368-1-1.html
Has odin file which flashes a perfectly working TWRP, or zip for recovery flashing.
It seems to be the only custom rom in existence for this model right now.
Do USA roms work?
Hey, anyone know if using a USA firmware on a G9350 works? I bought it thinking it was an Exynos, but apparently I was wrong, I'd rather have my home carrier instead (T-Mobile).
I got my S7 Edge (SM-G935FD) Dual sim from ebay HK, and it has G935FXXU1BPLE ROM.
Where can i download this?
I need to return this to the seller, and want to flash it back to its original rom.
Tried sammobile but, couldn't find it
Thanks
Have you tried searching thru Updato... Try downloading the app from playstore or use your computer search thru updato.com.. Hope this help...

I have never seen that model here for sale unless you order it overseas. We have SM-G9350 in hong kong, that's the qualcomm version and its dual sim.

mmm... mine is dual sim exynos version
and i've checked on updato.com, none
Here's the screenshot
Europe/India/Malaysia model. If you never rooted or anything just factory reset it your fine. If you rooted and triggered KNOX they might not accept it back. That depends on the place of purchase.
I thought G935FD was dual sim. G935F was single sim. Did I miss something or do I have my models for Exynos bassackwards?
I suggest you use google to help you find the rom... I tried searching the rom you looking for just now using my phone thru google and managed to find some thread written in chinese and rom download wit pit files... Maybe it is the one you searching...

Not sure the model.
Never rooted, and I did factory reset.
KNOX is not triggered.
I need the rom, because I flash the phone with Indonesia (STOCK from sammobile) ROM, and I need to return the phone back for warranty repair (having problem with restarting and freezing).
If I were to send the phone back with Indonesia ROM, will they still accept the warranty?
And yes, it's a Dual Sim model (FD)
I found this: https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B9jhlAaVBesoOHRuOWhuN1IxTk0&export=download
Looks like it is Taiwan version.
I'm downloading now, how do you tell if the firmware is STOCK or custom/modified?
The file size is 2GB, but normal STOCK firmwares (based on sammobile) are around 1.4 - 1.6GB
I don't want to flash only to triggered my KNOX and I can't get it back for warranty....

It seems as if you have flashed the wrong cscs or something as it is showing several different things I would find the stock firmware and start clean
Thank you for the answer, I get this phone from china.
So I didnt flash anything.
The strange thing is that the S/N on the back site is not the same when I search via *#06#.
On the back site is written like SM-G950F.
maybe is a fake one ....... as I Know the S8 series an others .... are built in Vietnam

This may also be true I have seen a lot of 'clones' in my day and can tell em apart sometimes
May be one of those cross flashed refurbs
We had this issue in lg g4s real bad claim to be one model with other firmwares....ended up being 1 model with other parts and other firmwares which made for a crap of a time
Heres the issue you have a exynos model according to some info and us snap model by others. So its real hard as you may need to find what true bootloader is on the device as you may brick trying to restore as snaps are bootloader locked
I would contact the seller and ask What is up that you know something isnt right. And you are not happy as you cannot upgrade as the device has much misleading info inside it
Thank you for the information , maybe its a refurbished phone.
I will have to contact the seller.
Hi,
I recently bought a S8+ (Exynos) from a Korean friend..
It works fine but constantly ask for roaming cause I'm not in Korea.
so I tried to install Official firmware SM-G955F with Odin but it didn't work.
I have to install the official firmware SM-G955N again to be able to use it and also I could root it.:fingers-crossed:
It is possible to change the firmware from SM-G955N to SM-G955F?

No, yours is snapdragon, g955f is exynos. You can't flash firmware from that model since they have different chipsets

SM-955x specs
This is just an FYI for anyone else that might read this thread looking for info.
It is correct that many of the SM-9500 (S8) and SM-955 (S8+) variants (US, Canada, Japan, China, Hong Kong) use the Snapdragon 835 chipsets but all of the variants of both S8 and S8+ that the whole rest of the world got all use the Exynos 8895 chipset. That's a ton of phablets. There's a lot of misinformation out there but if you look at the spec sheets that Samsung has themselves supply as well as the official Wikipedia page, you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. Another for instance, I've seen lots of sites that say the S8+ has 4GB of RAM which is only true of the 64GB version. The 128GB version has 6GB of RAM.
If you look around on XDA and a handful of other sites, people have flashed different CSC's with varying degrees of success. I have no idea where the issue stand currently, but I am working on figuring out what I'm going to do with my SM-955N variant right now. I don't need it working completely ATM as I still have my daily driver but I will be rooting (no warranty anyway since it was imported) and flashing. I am playing around with it and so far everything works great. I just haven't gone as far as getting it on the network as my SIM is one of those that can be resized to different sizes. It's currently a MicroSIM and once I snap the edge off to make it a NanoSIM I can't go back...without some super glue LOL! I'm not sure I want to risk that just yet as I don't want any of that glue getting inside my phone.
Hello friends!
I'm considering upgrading to a SGS8 and before making a purchase I need your help confirming what I should look for if I want to have an unlocked bootloader in order to install whatever ROM I please ans be free from Samsung's tyrany.
Please tell me if im wrong or missing something here when looking for one of these on Amazon:
-Model: SM-G950F or SM-G950FD (This is because these models came to the market with the "OEM unlock" option under dev settings and they have an Exynos chip)
-Running stock Android Nougat 7.0
-Bootloader version: ??
Got it right? Thanks for your help!!!!

Nobody here will guarantee anything probably, and neither do I, but I'd say that what you wrote sounds good.
You can send it back within 30 days with Amazon anyway
thanks mate, just looking forward an educated piece of advice from someone versed on the whole story and current dev state about this phone =)
I understand there is a whole bunch of models SM-G9500, SM-G950F, SM-G950FD, SM-G950U, SM-G950U1, SM-G950W, SM-G950N....
Some Snapdragon, some Exynos...
I understand its best to go for an Exynos one, and among those the SM-G950F, SM-G950FD.... perhaps someone can tell me why is that or correct me?
F & FD are same. They use the same firmware.
The only difference is FD version has hybrid sim slot (2 sim or 1 sim + sd card).
Whereas F version has 1 sim + sd card option only.

Definitely go for an exynos version. Go for a G950F/FD. What these people said is correct, FD is dual SIM version. they are unlocked international versions with unlocked bootloaders. There is quite a lot of development ongoing for these devices.
