Hello everybody,
I'm looking for the answer of my question but I still didn't find it. I live in Hong Kong and I bought a SGS7 from Korea, the model is SM-G930K. The phone is unlocked but there are bloatwares from the carrier and I can't remove the sound of the camera on this model.
That's why I was wondering if I could use an international rom like from the SM-G930F? I wanted to try but I'm afraid of bricking the phone. The SM-G930K from Korea is also a Exynios version, so I really hope I can flash it with an international rom.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I made a mistake! How move the topic to the questions and answers section?
G930K user here, too. Yes you can, but directly flashing G930F firmware through odin is not possible due to difference in partition sizes. Still, you can flash custom ROMs which can be installed through TWRP(e.g. Superman ROM).

Thanks!
But custom ROMs have to mention G930K or not? Or just a classic custom ROMs from G930F is ok?
I remember, a long time ago, may be before Android, I edited the ROM just with an hexadecimal app, and I could change the model and some stuff. We can't do something like this neither?

Just flash G930F ROMs, it doesn't matter whether G930K support is mentioned or not. No need to edit anything.

Isn't it what the re-partition option for?
Sorry to bump an old thread, but that't the clearest discussion I've found so far regarding flashing on the K variant.
I'm asking this for the S7E though (G935K > G935F) and everyone on the other forum says that it is just impossible to do anything on the K version ( which seems weird to me since the hardware is exactly the same and root/TWRP work fine).

I made a research during few weeks about that, and it's still not clear. I have also read that the modem is faster than the classic S7. But I have not found a loud and clear answer.
Until someone try to flash a G930F rom on a G930F phone, we won't know.

I know this is an old thread but does someone know the answer whether it is fine to flash a g930f rom to a G930k variant?

Hi. Apparently you cannot. If you want another rom, you have to install an alternative recovery, root your phone, and install a custom rom.
Anyone found clear answer?

Hi. No you cannot. Check my previous message, the only way is to install custom rom.
Those devices have same hardware. But the partition sizes are different. If you want to know, just flash custom recovery (TWRP) to your korean S7 and flash LineageOS or RR. Because all of them suggested our devices as well like this: (G930 F|W8|K|L|S). It will fail when you try to flash it by recovery. Because Galaxy S7's Korean variant's partition sizes are different from international and canadian S7s. There was one guide to flash AOSP ROMs to Korean S7's. There will be guide to resize of partitions on ROM's installation. But all commands are needs Linux Based OS, but not Android. I was tried it by Termux on my Galaxy S7. ext2simg command was still not available on Android's terminal . Others was available... so sad. And python codes are so simple to run. One day I will try it on Linux Based OS'd PC.

Not fine. But our devices have same hardware (F = W8 = K = L = S). Only the partition sizes are different. You just need to flash custom recovery (TWRP) then choose custom rom what you want for your S7. I'm suggesting SuperMan ROM and BatMan ROM. They are so stable, and clean. BatMan ROM was not fully stable on my G930K. Then I tried SuperMan ROM's clean, stock installation method on AROMA. It was really clean and Stable on my G930K. Try it bro :fingers-crossed: all of them TouchWiz interfaced. If you want try AOSP, you need to resize your partition sizes by this guide.
Is it possible that I install twrp to install smg930fd firmware in my smg930s Samsung s7 and uninstall twrp after doing this ?
I know there is a dedicated SM-J700T (T-Mobile&MetroPCS) variant forum, although I am seeing a new releases for the j7 2015 exynos .
Would that not cover the 700T? Same chipset.
Cannot get a straight answer, and haven't tried flashing one... yet..

Hey buddy here's it straight... They do not work.
They randomly reboot after one min. They don't work at all, unless u flash one of our nougat kernels. Working on some ports right now. There was a huge porting issue and we almost got it. Some of the MM roms worked fine if you flashed mina kernel after installing. With nougat it's different, even slightly, so they don't work right.
Thanks for the reply.
I currently own Galaxy A8 (Canadian) A530W, I want to have magisk installed on it,
or if possible, a pure android based ROM would be great.
I am not able to find threads good enough to guide one through something. Probably, because of variations in model.

A530W is the same as A530F so you can flash anything for A530F on A530W unless it does have an option do flash it specifically for A530W
I have an a530w too
Also to get aosp custom rom I recommend you go to the roms subforum for a8 and get treble then flash a gsi, even pie if you want

This true they are nice but I don't think you can revert back.

yes you can revert back by flashing stock rom, because CSC has repartition file

I did it that just to see if you could and it did not work.
Do you need to flash the csc also?

If what I researched right both J7elte and J7e3g are variants of Galaxy J7 2015 SM-J700H model. Most ROMs I see here for J700H are made on J7elte variant. So can I flash those ROMs and TWRP on my J7e3g?
I am aware that there's already another thread with same question. But the guy claimed that he gets black screen when he flashes J7elte ROMs on his J7e3g. So I wanted to be completely safe about it all.
Any explanation will be much appreciated, Thanks!

Is there any chance for this phone to get an official custom version of android?
Like PixelExperience, Paranoid or Lineage OS
Since the phone is alrd more than 1 year old, and i would like to keep it for a long time
Look here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...eageos-17-1-beta0-s10e-update-t4076585/page92
There are more custom roms in the same thread.

Im very interested in official ROMs, due of the support and updates
And the Snapdragon version

SD bootloader cannot be unlocked, so no custom roms have been developed for the s10e with SD as far as I know.
