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]

Seems like the only recovery is see in TWRP is for the edge or international versions of the model, so I'm having a hard time adding a recovery. Can anyone help??? I'd greatly appreciate it.
No...the phone just got root and the bootloader is really locked down. No one saw us getting root, so who knows what can happen.

FlashFire is the compatible recovery. There are two ROMs for the Verizon S7 Edge. http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/development I have personally verified that the PlayStore ROM posted for the Edge will work on the S7 flat.
I should mention that you need to be on the U firmware prior to flashing those ROMs. The ROM also installs the G935 engineering kernel, so you need to flash the G930 boot kernel with Odin afterwards. I can make a write-up later if there is any interest.
I can even modify his ROM with the correct build.prop and kernel for the G930V.
How's the stability and finctionality?
A guide would be awesome. How do I get it up and running lol.

If you intend to root it, then you still need to use the same engineering kernel. I will say that before I rooted the U-firmware, the phone was much smoother and faster in stock form than the stock Verizon firmware.

Not just the kernel alone. Flash the U firmware and you will be able to select any band, as long as the radio is in the phone for it.

Thanks. Is it the G930U or G935U firmware that's needed? I'm guessing the Edge U firmware is what you're speaking of.. is it a simple flash? I'm running PE1 rooted at the moment.
930u for flat 935u for edge. Just flash entire image over. Shouldn't need root

OK I just accessed service mode on the PE1 firmware.. no Band 12 or 17 option. I'll flash the 930U firmware and attempt again to see if there's a difference at all.
Also, is rooting the 930U firmware the same as the PE1 firmware process?

G930v custom recovery pass dm verity
Can someone point me in the direction of a thread to install custom recovery on the Verizon varient S7? Say hypothetically I could pass the dm-verity check.
How would I go about implementing the pass to install a custom recovery.
Hey XDA,
I just recently purchased a AT&T S7 (SM-G930A). I also just recently found out that AT&T doesn't push updates to non AT&T network phones. I am using the phone with T-Mobile and I was wondering if it was possible to flash the T-Mobile stock rom without tripping Knox or anything of that sort. I remember being able to do this to my AT&T Note 2 back in the day. If it is possible, can someone kindly link me to the file and instructions on how to flash the stock ROM from T-Mobile? Thanks!
You can, however once you do you can't go back. It may be possible in the future, but Tmobile has a v3 bootloader, and AT&T is still on v2 bootloader.

Thank you! One more question, I have the stock T-Mobile ROM and for the CSC, there are two files:
CSC and HOME_CSC
Which one do I choose in Odin for the CSC option?
Thanks
When attempting to flash using Odin 3.12.3, I get this error in the log:
FAIL! SHA256 is invalid
This seems to be because of a corrupt file?
I downloaded the ROM from two different sources now and still I get the same error.

So TMobile ROM on 930A . Any issues ? Did you try going back to AT&T ROM
All that talk out bootloader versions and not able to restore back to AT&T ROM
Can you odin Unlocked 930U version ?
I'm using Cricket on AT&T S7 variant and I couldn't get any update from AT&T, which pissed me off. So I decided to flash G930U firmware and I succeeded. But unfortunately, there isn't a single G930U update been released so far, which is quite surprising.
Other than the update, I'm extremely satisfied with the new firmware. It's so fast and clean comparing to my previous bloated AT&T firmware, free of all kinds of overheating, battery dropping, slowing down, crashing, auto-restarting, bugs and lags (Just so you know, my G930A firmware was the newest. I had to take my phone to Best Buy to update. And I used PDP to disable bloatwares). I highly recommend everyone to flash G930U. The new firmware also has an APP called Samsung+. It's very useful and it tells you if it detected slow charging, or reminds you to restart your phone if it hasn't been restarted for a while, etc.
I'm still wondering if I can receive OTA after flashing anther variant firmware, but I can't confirm since there's no update for G930U yet. I'm curious to know if OP could receive any T-Mobile update after flashing.

I flashed to the latest update of the ROM so I can't prove it works. But from what I've heard, after flashing the ROM you need to factory reset the phone so it can unregister from att and register to whatever carrier you are using it on. I am not sure how true this is but I read it somewhere and it seems to make sense.

if you ever switch ROMs please check about the issue of bootloader version and not able to revert back .
Not able to revert back is the only issue keeping me from odin to T mobile ROM
If bootloader version is a problem then you cannot flash 930U firmware also
Is that so ?

I'm not sure what bootloader the G930U has. The att ROM has v2. If it's newer than that, then downgrading isn't possible. Is its the same, then it should be fine.

Since they are all official and signed files I would assume that this would not trip knox. But I can not verify for sure. Also I thought knox checks to see if the boot loader is unlocked.
I have another question. with an unlocked boot loader don't we still have the problem of dm-verity being enabled that would stop use form flashing mods and roms.

The ideas I'd try is first try to directly flash the Tmo firmware through Odin or Smartswitch. The other idea would be to go from At&t to U firmware and then to Tmo if the first didn't work, but I'm not sure if there would be any complications.
Ok so dumb question but I figured I'd ask. If I use Odin do I need to root?

No, you do not. Odin is worked through the PC to your phone which is in download mode.
so just to recap ...
no need to root.
just use odin with the stock tmobile rom, and flash it. and it essentially makes this phone a tmobile device being that i am sim unlocked??

Yeah but double check smart switch first. I'm wondering if you put in a T-Mobile SIM if it'll do the dirty work for you. With Odin you may also need a PIT file. Just double check on that as well.

It does transfer content but it also can reinstall firmware. I'm not sure if it'll help carrier variant switch over, but if it does I'm sure it's better than messing with Odin if you don't have to.
Ok got ya. So do I need to flash all the files in the stock zip or just the home one if I use Odin?
Update.
I got it to work.
I had to use the prince comey Odin and flash all the files. Worked like a charm.

You can flash any US carrier s7 (edge or flat) factory image to any s7 as long as the bootloader is the same version, or if the version you are flashing is higher. You just cant flash to a lower bootloader version. Been this way since s7 released. I've been running the Verizon nougat and t mobile nougat on my ATT s7 edge and they both work wonderfully. I also found the stock t-mobile firmware ran better on my ATT phone than ATT firmware. No root required. Just research bootloader version before doing this. Right now they are all on v4 so no issues.

Can you answer these questions:

Do you want a stock version of 5 or an after market version. If you have an unlocked boot loader do you want CyanogenMod 12 or a variation of it?

If you want to go back to stock, go here..... https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...rmware-pit-verizon-samsung-galaxy-s5-t3757416 and download whatever version you want and flash it with Odin per the instructions on that page.

You can root any ROM with TWRP & Magisk. You just need an unlocked boot loader to get started with.
If you don't want to or can't unlock your boot loader go here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...oot-method-t3561529/post71147687#post71147687
and click the box below the "If your eMMC CID starts with "11," start here:" statement.
