Does anyone know if/how I can get a custom recovery on the S7 Edge (American Qualcomm G935V-(Flashed to G935U, rooted)) for a custom ROM? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
I also saw something about the bootloader being locked, so it may not be entirely possible, I'm not sure. If this is the case though, is there any workarounds?

Since you are on a SD model, you won't have support for the exynos roms and you would need the SD roms. where there are barely any for now.

Flashfire is the only type of recovery but cannot flash a custom kernel

Does anyone know of any available roms for the verizon sm337v tablet? I have had no issue with rooting or recovery, but can not find any roms. Thank you in advance!

doesnt the verizon devices have locked bootloaders?
Shoot I was mistaken. I was thinking of an s5 I did. I have stock recovery; just rooted.
Has any one root the T-Mobile s7e with it already on 7.0?
I have been looking but not sure . I tried to root with the method on here but I get stuck in a bootloop when it restarts after flashing the AP boot file in Odin I have tried several ways. I want to know also. I'm running 7.0 and g935t .
Yes been out for a few days, haven't tried myself yet.

But you need custom recovery, and rom is debloated + rooted
Just get a custom recovery, disable encryption and flash latest SuperSU 2.79 or Magisk. All good
Am I missing something.....why are the people above me saying to put a custom revovery on tmobile variant.... afaik that's not possible.

I think that every exons proccesor (Europe) can be rooted.
But im not sure. I got my S7 from germany and its unlocked. No TMobile or other carrier.
Everything works good ?
T mobile is snapdragon. There is 7.0 root, it uses another engineering Bootloader
Right but there's no custom recovery, no custom kernel, no custom Rom, which is what the user was suggesting. Doesn't make sense. At least not for US variants.

OP, i thought was asking for root. Flashfire is basically our only recovery atm for usa hence locked bootloader.. no custom kernels but we can tweak kernel via kernel author. We have custom roms but it's TouchWiz based.(stang 5.0 rom is awesome) Still better then having nothing imo.. xposed+root apps+romcontrol+system write, makes sense and worthwhile for me.

Can anyone build or port this to the s7
Jrkruse just posted an Oreo ROM in the Verizon development section and it has safestrap built in. It is not as simple to use as normal safestrap but it is definitely better than nothing.
He is also using a different binary than current stock Sprint phones. If\when it happens, it may only work on older firmwares

What custom ROM can I install and what guide or flash tool do I use? I have tried many with a bricked s7 edge I have and no luck. Just would like a nice ROM like RR or Ironman to install and a guide to doing it so I'm not doing something wrong

The snapdragon versions of the s7 edge have locked bootloaders preventing them from getting custom recovery preventing them from flashing custom roms.
The only unlocked snapdragon s7 edge is the Chinese version.
9350.
Meaning only the 9350 can use custom roms in the snapdragon section of the forums.
The rest of the users are using exynos processor phones.
If your phone is bricked use samsung smart switch to restore it to stock.

You can root on Oreo now, no custom ROMs because the bootloader will never be unlocked.

Yes it is, have you installed a custom recovery?
If not, let me know and I'll try help you
EDIT: As long as you have the J320FN variant you should be fine.
Can't say the same for the others as I haven't tested other variants.
