Anyone using a SM-G930F on T-Mobile US?

[tyrone1]

hello guy can i install note 7 firmware on s7 t mobile 930 t???

No. Bootloader locked preventing.

If you have g930f you can install n7 Roms.

does anyone have a dump file for s7 t-mobile?

It works, Thanks guys... Bought 1 username and password for 14.99 Euros (1 credit) and did a direct unlock... works like a charm.
For Samsung devices, use the Samsung Remote client (comes with the software package)

took less than a min to unlock. No rooting necessary.

Hi everyone I just wanted to point out that I was able to obtain Volte and WiFi calling on my G930FD while using "[Rom] FULL N7 Rom BASE PHA Now With VOLTE Support 9-4-16 by sac23" I just did a full wipe and installed only the rom and to my surprise all the normal speeds with the added bonus of volte and WiFi calling working and a 100% tested. Even the lte icon was similar to the tmobile one. And yes volte appeared on the screen. My speeds were 38/45 down with 20/25 up average so I think that of we can replicate whatever is working right on that Note 7 port maybe we can replicate it on a S7e rom? I Uninstalled it because it was kinda buggy and letters were too small but tmobile service was working perfect.

So if I flash that ROM wifi-calling will be enabled on all carriers or only for T-Mobile?

I have been using my engineering-kernel-rooted TMo G930T since July. Having a locked bootloader and troublesome kernel to achieve root has been very frustrating, making the S7 in many ways less satisfying than the S4 it replaced. I recently picked up an International version (Exynos-based G930F) and it is SO much better than the 930T! Full TWRP/ROM support, performs noticeably better and far better battery life than the T version. With the CSC mod, any TW-based ROM (even if not baked into the ROM) can fully utilize WiFi Calling and VOLTE. I have to say, the 930F now does everything the USA S7 should have done, with the bonus of the superior Samsung CPU. If you're a ROM flasher and are considering switching, I highly recommend it. I totally regret buying the T-Mobile version, but hopefully I can sell it and recoup some of the wasted $. In a nutshell, the 930F is everything the US S7 models should have been. See the link below about how to gain TMo features on the F version:

Hi everybody... good thread here... had a few questions...

I'm running LineageOS 14.1 on my 930F, and everything is great, except I get a total signal drop quite often, if i go airplane mode on/off it comes back up, but its very consistent, and aggravating as i have to re-send a lot of messages when i don't realize it was down again. or it will drop at an inopportune moment...

I'm hoping there might be a radio update, or something simple to fix this. Speeds are always lower (my LG G3 d851 phones always get ~35 down / ~11 up, whereas the 930F gets about ~10 down / 2 up)

I can live with the slower speeds, as its adequate, but the signal dropping out completely is a pretty big problem.... any hope for a fix to this? btw i live like a mile from the T-Mobile tower, theres no good reason for the 930F to be dropping signal.

I guess i'll try:
"TMB", "USA T-Mobile branded (Qualcom,) CSC linked in the last post

I have the MS-G930F also and I just changed my csc to T-Mobile USA. The moment I rebooted, wifi calling was working without me having to mess around with anything else. It was right up in the notification bar since I'm on wifi with airplane mode. I can send and receive SMS/MMS just fine.

Does anyone know if this will improve cell reception with this csc?

Hello, whats the best firmware to use on a g930f on tmobile in the US? Can I also have a link to the firmware, Thanks.

Bump, I am also curious.

Bump, I am also curious.

Omega Rom has always been one of the best if not the best ROMs available and I think he has just updated the ROM for the G930F. Don't know how well the F modem will work with T-Mobile though.

I wish I could run it on my S7 but it's a T variant so it won't run Omega.

You can google it to find on XDA

G935F on Tmobile with VoLTE and Wifi-calling

Hello, whats the best firmware to use on a g930f on tmobile in the US? Can I also have a link to the firmware, Thanks.

Bump, I am also curious.

I have the G955F and am using it on tmobile. I use BatMan-Rom V1.1.1 by Tkkg1994. He is a very responsive developer and always gets back to all your questions. Make sure you have twrp and latest bootloader then flash his ROM. He has a CSC selection tool which you also flash and it lets you select your carrier. He has all the US carriers but you just select T-mobile. The batman ROM is a ported ROM from the S8 and is working well for me ( He also has a superman rom based on the S7 edge's stock rom if you like, i came from that to the batman ROM) . VoLTE is working as well. Wifi calling is in the menu but i never use it. others in the thread have said it works. Link Below. Also i tested my speeds on a a tmobile note 4 and this device and they are the same in the same location. So speeds look good for non tmobile branded device.

I've found my G930F has the exact same network performance as my G930T. The International version walks all over the T-Mobile model. Basically, everything the 930T does well, the 930F does just as well, including WiFi Calling and VOLTE. Where the 930T is weak, the 930F is strong - WAY better battery life, much more responsive, runs way cooler, unlocked bootloader, TWRP, lots of kernels and ROMs too choose from (most S7E ROMs also work with the standard S7). If (like me) you like the flat S7 for its size (the S7 Edge and the S8 are too big for me as a daily driver), do yourself a favor and drop the TMo version and get the International version. The 930F is really everything the S7 should have been all along.

I have a g930f and using it on Tmo USA. Works great. However, I can't find the WiFi Calling option. Where is it? Thanks.

hella, care to elaborate? Stock or custom ROM? In your settings, get the software and baseband versions and post them, please. Also, are you quite sure Wifi calling and VOLTE are working? In this thread, all reports of wifi calling and volte is that they don't work, so this is fairly suspect.

All:
The statements: "G930F works on T-Mobile" are very lacking in information, since the SM-G930F is just the model number of the hardware, but these hardwares come with all sorts of variations of baseband/software that may or may not work well with T-Mobile!
Many people have asked in this thread what firmware (baseband) for the SM-G930F is best compatible with T-Mobile USA (baseband: the firmware that drives the radio/modem hardware), but there has been no answers to this question within this thread. There are literally hundreds of possible software/baseband combinations that could come with this international phone (SM-G930F), each one can affect cell signal performance differently on any given network, and we are all talking about that in this thread with no actual mentions of what baseband versions are working and which are not. wow! serious confusion!

Example: I bought my international S7 from Newegg in California about a year ago, and it still has the baseband and software build number (software is Android 6.0.1) it had when I purchased (I've refused updates). I'd like to install an updated OS, but possibly just update the baseband to one that is most compatible with T-Mobile USA and then investigate what OS works well. For my phone, the baseband is G930FXXU1BPJJ (which seems to be India ??) and the build number is MMB29K.G930FXXU1BPLB (Brazil? these regions are according to samsung-firmware.org).

Some in this thread are reporting their phone from regions Germany, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, etc...... so, ya, it's a MESS of confusing information.

What people really want to know about their International S7 (SM-G930F) is: What baseband and softwares are the best fit for the T-Mobile USA network?

This might need to be asked more clearly in a new post, which I may do, but I think most people don't really understand the design well enough to understand the question and what is a real answer vs a non-answer.

 

[hella356]

I've settled in on Batman ROM, but I've flashed about a dozen different ROMs and have updated the baseband a couple of times. The network performance has remained more or less the same whether on the 930T or the 930F - I've not experienced a scenario with any ROM on the 930F where it wasn't getting reception in a location where the 930T did. Currently I'm on Batman 1.2 with baseband 930FXXU1DQF2 and Android 7.0. I have downloaded files while on a phone call, and the speed indicated that VOLTE was properly working. I've also successfully used WiFi calling at my sister's house; I have never gotten cell reception there on T Mobile with any phone, and the 930F was no different, but when I switched on WiFi, I was able to make calls. YMMV, but I have zero doubt that everything is working fine with the 930F and I stand by my previous statements that the 930F is equal to the 930T in every way, and vastly superior in several areas.

If you reread this thread, you'll see that all the reports of no VOLTE/WiFi calling are older posts. All the more recent posts are saying the same thing I'm saying. To get these working properly, you need to select the TMo CSC during ROM install, or if that isn't present, there is a separate CSC flash which does have it.

I've had good luck with the UK EVR version, the stock rom is fast and responsive too. The G930F is MUCH better than the G930T snapdragon version https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s7/firmware/SM-G930F/EVR/
