Title says it all. I just picked up the developer edition and am using it on Verizon. I've been out of the loop for a few years and am a bit rusty. Looking for anyone who can point me in the direction of root/rom for the 935U. Or even post a couple links for me.
It isn't a developer edition: it is a sim unlocked edition. There are active threads via a quick search.
Here is one: {GUIDE} Flashing the SM-935U firmware onto your Verizon S7 Edge and Rooting

would it stand to reason that I am already on that 935U firmware? As I'm already on that 935U phone and not the Verizon 935V variant?
I only ask cause I'm unsure if I have to do the first steps anyway or if I can skip some steps here.
Sorry for all the questions,
Thanks for the help
Yes you are. But double check under settings your build. If you want to root jump to that step.

It's been awhile sense ive been on here. While I was here there was a different guy working on the cm12 port and with that he spent a lot of time getting GSM working on the Sprint version. Now it's someone else and its for all variants so its been really difficult to find out what the process is. For most phones you have to do something special before flashing but it didn't seem that way last year when I had the phone. I want to give it to my daughter's mother who is on gsm straight talk. After rooting the device could I simply just flash any custom rom and gsm is instantly available or is there another step I'm missing. Ive searched a bit through the Q&A and general but because all variants share the same section I can't find a direct answer for my Sprint model.
Could someone please direct me in the right direction

1- You root the phone
2- You use this (easiest way): http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/apk-flash-twrp-autorec-thanks-to-t3081396
3- You flash what you want
& next time, post question in the Q/A thread please.
Thank you! But to be clear. after rooting and flashing the recovery I can use any gsm sim and I don't have to do anything special, it'll just work (beyond me inputting the appropriate APN)
Yea sorry about not posting in Q&A.

Could we get a mod to create a Sticky with all variants of the Note 4 and their current status as far as boot loader, rooting, and other information? Since it used to be "Verizon variant, sprint"..... And now it's one big garbled mess. It's hard to follow what thread is for what phone with X processor and whether or not i can actually custom rom my phone now. Doubtful since the note 4 is basically fubar with Verizon / att. (My understanding?!?). A simple list would be nice
Can anybody help? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3262283

Hello,
I got a good deal on a new sealed Verizon S7 edge, going to use on Cricket. The phone will be in my hands on Tuesday.
The question I have is can I just charge the phone and flash it right out of the box to 935U? Or do I have to turn it on and do anything to it?
Thanks for your time.
Just put that sucka in download mode and flash that u firmware
Many thanks for the reply that's what I was thinking.
Just wanted to be sure. Take Care.
I'm using a Verizon S7 Edge right now on Cricket with the 935U software. I don't have any issues.

Thanks for the information I saw a few posts about IMEI issues, hope I don't run into that. Not going to root just flash the 935U firmware. Did you have any issues with activation or IMEI? Hoping to just pop my sim in and go.

Nope. I just flashed the 935U software, rebooted the phone, popped in my sim card and the phone automatically restarted and download all of the APNs. I haven't rooted either.

That's great to hear ! I've been messing with electronics for years. First time flashing a phone, not worried about the process, just the activation. Very happy with Cricket, I don't mind my speed being capped, never bothered me, use WiFi 85% of the time.

Hello friend. I have a few questions for you about using a Verizon S7 Edge on Cricket as I too have been presented with a good deal for one and I too have Cricket. May I PM you?
What is the 935U firmware?
When i got my edge, I let it update OTA. Was the update i installed the 935U firmware?
hmmmm,....my model # is sm-g935V. build # g935vvru4ap14.
sorry for the newb ?

No you have the 935v =Verizon stock firmware, the 935U is Samsung international firmware meaning it don't have a carrier like Verizon. ect.
I tried all kinds of searches to avoid having to post this question and looking like a newb. Coming from the LG G3 ls990 where the variant was cut & dry, I'm having a hard time distinguishing between devices. Before my LG, I had a Galaxy s3, and it had a very clear model number too. Now I have the Sprint g935p, and I want to be sure I'm following development on my model. I can't understand why there would be discussions in the Sprint forum with different device names (g935u & g935p). How could that be?
Is it only the g935p that I should be fixed on for root methods and rom development? I've avoided rooting this thing for 3 whole weeks, but the ads and other annoyances are getting to me. I think if I do root it, I won't be greatly interested in flashing anything for a while. There don't appear to be too many options right now, anyway.
Thanks in advance.
935U is universal software for all galaxy S7Es, regardless of carrier or version.

Thanks. That makes sense. I remember the s3 had rom development that worked across all s3 variants. We never had this with the LG G3. Development had to be for, or include, the ls990 specifically. And there was only one ls990. No variations of it.

So your working on a new root process? Do we actually have a developer for g935p

I'm not sure how you thought I might be a developer by the questions I asked. I'm the furthest thing from a developer. Were you being sarcastic? My head is still spinning by all the variants of the Edge. I come from the G3 that had separate development for each variant, and there was only one for Sprint that you followed. You just rooted, flashed twrp, and stuck to development for the ls990, all from your device.
Even with my Galaxy s3, I just rooted with towelroot and flashed everything from recovery. I guess Knox changed the game since then.

Nope. One year out from launch, and still rooting and flashing seems a mess. This so easy on my LG G3 only 4 months from its release.
I just went out and purchased a new Straight Talk S5 and need help rooting. All of the information I keep finding has to do with the s902l or whatever version. I keep getting auth failed with odin trying to use the older S5 root method.....
Phone specs:
Samsung Galaxy S5 Straight Talk (verizon network)
Version 6.0.1 marshmallow
Model number SM-S903VL
Baseband ver. S903VLUDU4APH3
Build Number MMB29M.S903VLUDU4APH3
Anyone?

Just bought this s5 today and I'm having the same issue, no luck on finding anything about this phone. Hopefully someone will help soon!

I'm having the same problem anybody find any useful tools? I found a YouTube video from someone from XDA developers with a rooted straighttalk s5 but it was not the SM-S903VL and I tried exactly what he said and downloaded the required files tried to flash through ODIN and still nothing. It fails everytime. I have rooted many galaxy phones but on the t mobile network and am wondering if there is some kind of code modification that needs to be done like that of t mobile's. Please need help!

I've tried just about everyway of rooting this S5 from straighttalk but have had no luck, no other S5 root works. I believe this is the newest model and nobody has a working root yet. I really hope soon someone figures one out for the SM-S903VL on 6.0.1 Marshmallow. Come on developers!
Did you try downgrading to lp and using the root.bat method?

Umm, I'm fairly new to this, have down this a few times but in order to downgrade, don't you have to be ROOTed? I will have to look into doing this I guess. My problem is I just bought the phone brand new and it is my only phone. I have had much luck with other Galaxy S5s and Notes on other networks and am pretty familiar with ODIN so this was the first thing I tried. Could you explain a bit more the root.bat method? If it has to do with ADB, that doesn't seem to give me authorization when I connect it and use the adb devices command. It gives the serial number and says unauthorized. I have USB debugging enabled in the phone but still no luck with that either.
The first post in that thread I linked has directions. Read it carefully a few times. I don't know if it will work or not. The first step is to flash the pb1 firmware in that first post with the Odin version in that same post. If that works the rest probably will to. Read the section called 'installing pb1'

Try it. It's for the g900v. The s903vl has the same fcc id as a verizion s5 with a busted digitizer I have,so I think it is a 900v just with straight talks firmware on it.

Unfourtunately, no joy. Couldn't downgrade to lollipop. Odin says auth-fail. If we can figure out how to downgrade than maybe that method will work. Anyone have any other ideas?

Kind of an update... just tried the newest version of srsroot (v5.1)and it went through as successful. But root checker says I'm not rooted. No more time to mess with it tonight.
