How to Install another Model's Firmware w/o Changing IMEI?

I have an American model S7 Edge, but would like to install the firmware of my region so that I can get access to our 4g network. The bands are capable, so this phone is for sure able to access this, it's just my model is region locked, and to one specific carrier.

I was told there is a chance that this will result in altering the IMEI, which is not what I want at all, I just want to alter the firmware.

Is this at all possible? I tried before, but it only resulted in errors on Odin.

Is there any different in 3 OP3 models other than bands?

I found out there're 3 different models here.

• North America model


• Europe / Asia model


• China model

Since we are close to China, I think I'm getting a China model. What's bugging me is I don't know if custom ROMs posted in OP3 Android Development sections will compatible with China model. I came from a device which have 14 different models with single-dual sim & regional mixed it's all so confusing that I ended up flashing incompatible ROMs several times. Can anyone help me confirm that please?

How to Install another Model's Firmware?

I have the Galaxy s7 Edge SM-G935V (the Verizon model) and live in China, so I need to flash a SM-G350 rom. How to do this?

My phone is rooted, and I have tried do this through odin, but each time I get errors related to the "PIT".

I then tried to install TWRP, but I get an error each time, saying "dm-verity is locked".

How can I install another models firmware now? I know they are compatible, before my phone crashed it was running a Chinese firmware.

What Is The Difference Between The S7 Models?

Hey guys i was wondering the differences between SM-G930F and SM-G930. I actually saw at Internet that Exynos ones are better than Snapdragon so if anyone knows Does SM-G930 Model Number Include Exynos or Snapdragon? Thank you i.a:)

Like TouchWiz
You can always flash the TouchWiz theme which will bring back all stock TouchWiz apps.

Instructions:
1.Copy the ROM file to the internal storage of your phone.
2. Reboot into recovery (TWRP recommended).
3. Do a Full Wipe if you come from and Odexed ROM. (If you don't know what this means DO A FULL WIPE.)
4. Start the Installation of the ROM.
6. Enjoy!
FIRST BOOT MAY TAKE A FEW MINUTES. IF MORE THAN 10 MINUTES HAVE PASSED, RETURN TO RECOVERY AND FLASH AGAIN WITHOUT WIPING ANYTHING.
Thanks to edgarf28, I grabbed some mods from his ROM.

*Apply the material theme center for a more AOSP feel.

G930A FRM Bypass (Possibly other models as well)

This method requires a way to turn your Wifi on and off. I used a Mobile Hotspot from another phone for ease of use.

Begin by setting up the phone. Connect to Wifi when asked.

Agree to the terms and conditions. When it says "Checking Connection" (A few seconds after hitting Accept), disable your WiFi from the source (The hotspot, or unplug your router). If done at the right time, it will tell you 'Could not connect'. If it says anything else, back up, reconnect to WiFi, and try again. The timing isn't difficult. Hit next. Turn your WiFi Hotspot back on (The power), and make sure your phone reconnects automatically.

It should ask for date and time. Skip ahead until you get to the Privacy Policy screen with 3 check boxes (You have to scroll down to see them all). Click on the 'Privacy Policy' link. Scroll down to the block of text. Click and hold on any word. Click Share. CLICK AND HOLD on the button that pops up. Click Force Stop. Pull down the settings menu and scroll over to 'Ultra Power Saving Mode'. Turn it on. Select your language.

Click More, Click settings. WiFi will have been switched off; switch it back on from this menu. Back out and go to Internet. Go to https:// goo . gl/vzoLBx (Won't let me post links, so remove the spaces) and download the file (Quickshortcutmaker).

Exit the Internet. Click More. Click disable Ultra Power Saving. Click 'Emergency Call'. Dial 112. Wait for it to connect. Scroll to the right and select Internet. Search for 'Samsung Galaxy Apps'. Click the first link. Scroll down slightly, in the banner it will say 'Samsung galaxy Apps' and have an icon next to it. Click the icon. This will open the App. Search for 'Maxi Explorer'. Install it. This will require registering with Samsung, create an account if you don't have one.

Once installed, click the 'Play' icon next to Maxi Explorer. Find the file you downloaded (Should either be in 'Storage/Emulated/Download' or 'sdcard/download'). The file will be 'com.sika524.android.quickshortcut'. View, Settings, Turn Unknown Sources on, click OK, Click Open.

Once Opened, search for 'Google Account Manager' Click the drop down arrow next to it. Find the FIRST 'Type Email and Password', click on it. Click 'Try'. On the upper right, hit the 3 dots and select browser. Login with YOUR gmail account. Once you're back at the menu with 'Try', restart your phone.

From here, you should be able to go through the normal process without any issues. Hope this helped, I can provide more information or screenshots later.
