My S7 edge is a Verizon branded phone as it was originally used on that provider. I have since ported it over to use on tracfones network was it was approved to work on that network. Which it has for the most part minus a few small details. My question is do I download the Verizon based Oreo update or some other one altogether since I’m no longer using Verizon with this phone. Thank
I would flash the Samsung SM-G935U Version. U is for Unbranded or Unlocked. I had a T-Mobile SM-G935T Now it’s a SM-935U which gets more frequent security updates also. tmobile is 4/18 and the u version is upto 7/18 security updates. goto sammobile.com to find the U version
