No you're not but even though you enable OEM unlock there's still no way to unlock the bootloader and no root

So I been looking around and I'm not new to rooting and flashing but it seems like this model doesn't have root recovery or any roms though I did hear you can flash Tmo roms but you will be locked to Tmo and have a couple issues which I can't risk
tldr; I'm having trouble finding resources related to flashing and rooting the sm-g530t1 please refer me to some information so I don't brick my phone

Go to the developer settings and turn on the oem unlocking and usb debugging to avoid the frp from being tripped. In case you don't know how to get to dev settings go to about device under settings and click on the build # 7 times to unlock developer settings

You have G935T device? Are you sure? There is no root or recovery for the ATT TMO or Verizon s7 edge. How did you flash anything???
If you can't get to download mode you can't fix it and you've made your device into a very expensive paperweight.
How did you do any flashing at all???

You can Flash via Odin. It works. I know there is no recovery for Qualcomm yet and all US models are boot locked. The only way i understand is via ADB or SD card method but again if we don't have root i cant create debrick image via TWRP. my question is can i create debrick image via Advance Turbo Flasher or something and with the help of Tmobile firmware file ?

If your phone won't get into download mode or your computer recognize your device how can you use ADB or sd? I do believe you're hard bricked and out of luck.
Odin should be used to flash your devices official firmware or if your bootloader is unlocked like my international flashing TWRP and SuperSu.
Very expensive lesson.
If you were of a mind to you could take it to your warranty store and play dumb.
Others have done so but it's usually frowned upon in the XDA community.
I feel your pain I've hard bricked three S3's I just happened to get good deals on them.
None of this is not what you want to hear.

To flash verizon on tmobile g935 you need to first flash only CP file from verizon, then reboot into recovery and it will allow you to flash with verizon firmware.

Look you cannot flash other devices official firmware just because you've sim unlocked it. You are hard bricked and cannot fix your device.
What you really need to do now is do a ton of reading and research before ruining another device.
I'm not being rude or anything it's just you could've avoided all this by doing more reading. There is no recovery nor root for any American s7 edges and I've not even seen the official firmware on sammobile.
You got lucky the first time but not the second.
When I doubt read and then read some more.
Seriously you're out of luck.

Like @s7freak said your "SOL"... Sorry to here that....
Here's your option if i were you:
1. Call your carrier and play dumb said your phone just turn to black screen the next day..... Hopefully u still have 14 days return period.... Or hopefully u bought insurance.... That being said that ur hoping that they think manufacture defected phone or software malfunction.
2. If not Google jig or jtag service or buy the jtag to push your phone into download mode and u can Odin to stock again.
Goodluck.... Next time, don't ever try flashing others firmware if your bootloader Locked. Never gonna work on Android world.... Unless if your bootloader Unlocked then u can flash any Rom .... Any firmware.

Exactly I'm exynos not snapdragon if you cannot get into download mode you're screwed man I'd look up JTAG service and see if they can get it back last I heard it was $75 on the S3 so that was a few years ago. Every method I've just researched requires that your device can enter download mode. Yours can't

Once you enable the developer options you can OEM unlock to the SM-G935V. I know the V basically stands for Verizon because they carry the phone. Seems like the file for the SM-G935F should work. It's all the same firmware other than the carrier apps. I dont't want to risk bricking this phone because it's not mine so if someone else is brave enough to give it a try let me now.

So many sets of directions out there....
Find the one that starts with you flashing G935U, then rooting. Worked for me, first try, no problems.
That being said, I did notice a significant drop in performance and ended up flashing a stock ROM that I'm still using now.

I got a s7 edge about 5 days ago. I always go 2-3 years between devices so I forget all this stuff but if someone can just put the plan in the proper order for me and answer a quick question or two I'm sure I can find the threads.
First, I have
software version G935PVPU2APD3
model SM G935P
6.0.1
If you need more info ask and I'll edit this.
Is my device rootable yet?
Should I update anything first? If so what?
then root via CF
install a rom
install titanium
remove bloat (is there a list of what can be safely removed and what can't?)
set it up the way I like
I'm done?
Thanks for any help.
