Yeah, they just did starting with the one that rolled off the production line today at 12:30 in China. /s
No they haven't, there hasn't been an update recently, and even if they're was they probably won't since there is no reason they should. The customers who want unlocked bootloader are few, and unlocking it causes all kinds of problems for Verizon in customer support.

I mean 'software' updates in the title, not suggested.
I have the S7 edge from Tmobile, the 935T variant.
Does anyone know for sure if this will work in other countries, like in Asia, after I get it unlocked by T-Mobile. Also, since T-Mobile sends the software updates, will I still get them and will there be any problems because of that?

I'm using my T-Mobile LG g3 right now in the Philippines and have no problems. I cant see why the s7 would be any different.

Do you receive the software updates while you're there?

I'm working on trading my S7 Edge for a Nexus 6P. The 6P owner uses T-Mobile, and my Edge is on an installment plan. Is there any way to carrier unlock the Edge without paying for a third party service?
Mine is paid off. I just called AT&T and they said there was no problem with unlocking my phone. So I went to their website filled out the appropriate stuff and got mine unlocked. https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/#/

If your phone is currently using AT&T service, you can try this to request an unlock:

This doesn't mean the bootloaders are unlocked. Please read the article carefully.
It clearly states, "You could find unlocked units before, but now several retailers are selling carrier-free S7 units."
All this means is that "The phones will work on AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint and US Cellular."
Again, this is not the same as having an unlocked bootloader. Not even close.
However someone seems to have stumbled upon an engineering bootloader, so this thread may not be a fallacy for much longer!

The ones they are selling are 935F. Exynos version. If Samsung locked these never buying again. They would be stupid to do that.
These aren't 935F, their designation is U.

Big shocker.
What a sh** title. You knew you were going to deceive people thinking there was bootloader news about existing phones. Shame to you sir.

Thanks. Looking like no hope for galaxy note 7. Either might have to get F version or vote with my wallet as should everybody. Bootloader locks are terrible. Some of the innovation in Android comes from xda.

It works flawlessly. The only issue is the lag and WiFi password after the initial root. To fix the lag after you've just rooted you download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bigeyes0x0.trickstermod and set the governor to interactive in the general menu and in the settings tab check kernal settings on set on boot. Then finally to fix WiFi you download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.nathan.jf.build.prop.editor and find "ro.securestorage.support" click on it and set it to false, then *make sure you the hit check button* restart the phone and your good.
(Also to specify the issue with the WiFi passwords is that it doesn't save after a reboot. Meaning that you must re-enter the password after every reboot.)
Check out this thread please!

Hello,
What is the procedure for unlocking a Galaxy S7 T-Mobile?
Call into T-Mobile to request subsidy unlock. They'll process your request and in 48 hours, you can use the Unlock Device app on your phone and do a Permanent Unlock.
