Sadly it was never rooted by @garwynn was looking into it a while back, I think. I'm not sure if it was achieved or not but I have something you and other aio device owners can try!
Try the kango root method. Its a one click program that worked on att latest firmware.

Does that mean that I will still have to root my phone to enable the unlock ?

Use Safestrap and flash the MDL modem. Use the procedure in post 2. Then afterwards, flash MF3.

Unlock Bootloader SM-G930VL ( straighttalk )

Ok so what i know or been told that this model has a unlock bootloader , so why cant we get root for this one? And Someone said that if i want root i have to flash it to a verizon model SM-g930V but i will have my bootloader lock.
Please some let me understand .

All you must do is flash the Verizon firmware, latest one available works. Then follow the root process for the Verizon SM-G930V. Your phone will be converted to a full SM-G930V. The root process works with a locked bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039
Be sure to read the entire OP and user comments on impacts after root. One think i notice on the OP is that the eng bootloader used is compatible with any carrier variant. Maybe you can try without having to flash to a verizon phone. All done at your own risk.

No need to flash to VZ firmware. Just flash the eng boot.

It should not brick, but if you want to just convert to a full SM-G930V and have a bit of piece of mind in following the verizon s7 root thread then do that.

The unlock procedure works with any V or U firmware. (You can flash U firmware on any V as well - I have the unique-to-VZW gold G930V; however, it's running the G930U Tracfone firmware in SIMless mode - specifically, the June 8th of this year version.) I went with the Tracfone U-ware (despite a VZW version of the same firmware being available) is because of the support for SIMless operation being better with the Tracfone U-ware as opposed to the VZW firmware; odd, but true. Also, the Tracfone U-ware is as close to vanilla as stock S7 gets - nowhere does the firmware say "Tracfone". (Rather surprisingly, it's a multi-CSC firmware - so, unless you have a preference, this rather plain U-ware should save you a lot of aggro.)

ho to unlock step by step please
I read your information.. would YOu be kind enough to inform me how to go about it, step by step so I can be sure I don't mess it up THanks in advance

could some one please walk me tru the process [email protected]
