Any way to flash G930T firmware on a G930P that is on QJ3 current Sprint firmware?

[prnorm]

Basically my phone is updated to Sprint version G930PVPU5BQJ3, and that version apparently has an updated bootloader. T-Mobile's current rom is G930TUVS4BQJ2 with an older bootloader.

Since the QJ3 bootloader is new, I can't successfully flash any firmware that is below QJ3, meaning I can't successfully flash T-Mobile firmware (or unlocked S7 firmware).

Does anybody know if there is anyway around this, or do I need to just wait a month or so for a new version of T-Mobile's rom that has the bootloader updated the same as the Sprint firmware?

Gotta wait a month or so and hope they update it as well.

Thanks. That's what I thought I but was hoping I was wrong.

firmware bootloader ver.

I have the same problem, no mobile data is killing my functionality. Regardless of whether or not I'm connected to a T-mobile APN I get nothing but calls and messages (texts only no mms/pics), no mobile data of any kind.

Is there a place where the current bootloader priority for some/or all of the various s7 roms (carrier &/or custom) can be looked up? I was considering using a custom rom but need to pick something that will flash with the firmware I have now and work with T-Mobile network. Ideally I would rather use stock carrier rom, since I'm really just a noob trying to use a Sprint phone on T-Mobile network. I really dont want another failed flash and to have to waste more time setting my phone back up with the partial functionality it has now. I'll wait if necessary but I wanted to ask about the bootloader priority and to see if anyone had any other suggestions. Thanks!

Sorry for the question is this new bootloader locked or unlocked. if it is unlocked you can flash a custom bootloader and with that you can flash any rom you like.

Just read Ivpre's post today on a 930p thread, bootloader version is the 9th digit in the firmware name.

How can one determine whether or not the bootloader is locked

Sorry for the question is this new bootloader locked or unlocked. if it is unlocked you can flash a custom bootloader and with that you can flash any rom you like.

I'm sure I'm asking a noob question but there is a very good reason for that

Hi. I just joined T-Mobile from Sprint. I entered the APN settings recommended on the tmobile help site, which only worked for about 5 minutes. After calling customer service, I was directed to create another APN profile, basically identical to the one I had originally done, without deleting the first one. After saving and selecting the new profile, go to Settings>General Management>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Push the button to make it so then power cycle. Mine has worked ever since. Of course that was only Monday but still. The tech said that the majority of the time it works although he could not explain why. I talked my wife through the same procedure on her S7 Edge and on hers mms doesn't work. Don't know why.
