Snapdragons ROM - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer

Can I install any Snapdragon ROM on my G935T?

I don't think that will work for us on Tmobile because of the boot loader not being released issue.
It has been screamed that the S7 Edge will not be able to use any kernels or TWRP because of the Bootloaders not being released by T-mobile like that with AT&T or Verizon.
You may flash a rom, but there may be lag issues because the rom will not function correctly as intended with it's accompanying released kernel.
You may not be able to tweak the prop build either.
If I am incorrect, please chime in anyone . . .
Good Question because I am too waiting for an update & a tweaked rom to flash.

Yes - on a rooted 935T you can install an Echoe MM ROM below:

That is basically it.

See answer below it seems that if we root our device we can install any Snapdragon ROM

But only that ROM or any Snapdragon ROM?

That is the only one for S7E. There is also an earlier mod that was applied to the rooted stock MM ROM.
What I am curious about is whether we could get an exynos MM ROM to run on it after it is rooted. It would have to be based on a signed Samsung TW based ROM.
The bootloader and modem would stay as is on TMobile, so the question is would it run with its exynos kernel, and if not, would it work with the eng snapdragon kernel ODIN'd if it will not boot up?
I have used international ROMs for years on my S4, but it was rooted the traditional way and the bootloader was never locked.

You always have to root first before you are able to install a custom rom. That said, to the best of my knowledge, there aren't any custom roms available for the SM-T337A. Unfortunately, AT&T and Verizon lock the bootloader on their devices now. This means that you can't have a custom kernel or a custom recovery. Since Cyanogenmod and similar roms based off of it require a custom kernel, you can't have any cyanogen-type roms. That said, a stock based rom (anything capable of running on the stock kernel) should work fine, but as I've said, to the best of my knowledge nobody has made any roms like that for this device yet. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

That sucks. Guess I'll have to be satisfied with just rooting it and maybe a different stock rom, if any available.
I was just searching on here & I'm not sure what instructions are the ones I need for this tab. I saw where someone says they tried towelroot & 1 other but did not work, & other similar posts, then find several posts mentioning that they have rooted it, so I'm not sure what way DOES work to root it. (I also found on another site, which I don't know if Im allowed to post the external link, "Working Tutorial How To Update/Upgrade Samsung SM-T337A To Android 5.1 Lollipop!) Needless to say Im a little unsure of what method I need to root it. ANDROID VERSION: 4.4.2 BUILD: kot49h.t337aucu1ank2
Also Is there a alternative stock based rom (with tutorial) you might recommend ?

All you can do is try towelroot. If it comes back as failed, then oh well, it doesn't mess anything up. Towelroot will only work for kernel dates before July 2014 I believe. There are NO custom ROMs, no recovery, no alternatives for this tablet. No developer interest, no carrier support, so no android version beyond 4.4.2. We have been abandoned by AT&T with no way of getting any updates ever again because they locked us out. So we are stuck with a worthless pile of crap tablet that gets more laggy by the day. No more carrier variants of any device for me ever again. International only.
rootng that works

Need N900W8 Bootloader & Modem & ROOT?

Hi, I have a N900W8 (Canada) and I am in Lollipop. I am looking for the Marshmallow bootloader & modem for N900W8.
Also, im looking to root my phone other than the cf auto root method. Because after flashing the cf-autoroot for n900w8, my buttons stopped working.
Thank you.
There is no marshmallow bootloader or modem.
You can flash SuperSU from twrp.
What bootloader/modem can I use for a marshmallow rom?
Just use the latest LP bootloader and modem.

I thought it should be a marshmallow bl/cp for a marshmallow rom. Didnt know i can use a lollipop.
And for the supersu, i just need to flash twrp then flash supersu from chainfire website?
Thank you.
There is no MM bootloader and modem because Samsung never released a MM build for the Note 3.
Yes, just flash twrp and Chainfire's supersu.
@audit13 do you know how to get the modem and bootloader from a stock firmware (tar.md5) ?
Not sure if you can extract it from a stock rom but it may be easier to just flash the entire rom in Odin.

Okay, I'll do that. Also, do you know what custom kernel is compatible with stock rom N900W8VLU2DPG1 ?
AFAIK, there is no custom kernel that is compatible with the stock Samsung ROM because the Samsung Note 3 apps require a Samsung kernel.
Hi.
Hi, sorry to make it alive. I have a Canadian Samsung Note 3 with (bell mobility) carrier. And, I'm searching to root my phone for removing bloatware and pushing the power out. But and completely newb, and no idea where to start. I have try towelroot and Kings with no success.

There is a custom kernel for stock note3 lolipop firmware which is called lean kernel, idel kernel, ater97 kernel and shinto kernel.... Do ur research before saying thinks u don't knw about ok bro.
@jgun007, I said "AFAIK", I never said there wasn't a kernel for the Canadian note 3 sm-n900w8 which is the model referred to in the subject line of this thread and discussed in this thread.
I see that lean kernel is for the n900t (T-mobile note 3) which is not the same model as the Canadian note 3: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2488233
I see idel kernel here but I don't see the Canadian note 3 model listed as being compatible: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...nt/kernel-idlekernel-leankernel-fork-t3241582
I see arter kernel here for the n9005 which is not the same model # as the Canadian note 3: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/arter97-kernel-galaxy-note-3-t3028148
I see the thread for the shinto kernel was closed and the last post was in January 2015, about 2 years ago and I didn't see any mention of compatibility with the n900w8: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/help/shinto-kernel-t2895089
Hi.
Anybody know why, I'm searching with my phone information... I found nothing.
Model number sm-n9000w8
Version 5.0
Band n900w8vlu2dpg1
Number version lrx21v.n900w8vlu2dpg1
What do you want to know about your phone? The model # is sm-n900w8. I noticed you had three zeros in your post.
Looks like your phone is running the latest stock ROM according to sammobile.com: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N900W8/

Yes, is a stock device. Never rooted. And it's a mess for the 0 in over.
I have all my information but when I'm searching for rooting... I found nothing and no procedure for someone who have a cellular like mine. N900W8VLU2DPG1.

From what i understand omega v20 does not support 900I. It also uses phoenix kernel which I have heard has compatibility issues with 900I. Try Omega V18 (lolipop) or if you want a marshmallow based rom, try something else. Remember that these posts were posted years ago and that last year's "latest TWRP" is not THE latest TWRP.
you may want to flash original firmware via sammoblie to get you out of this predicament first.
edit. also post on a more appropriate thread next time. or else no one is going to find ur question

[Firmware] G930U - QD2 Android 7.0 for G930T (5/8/2017)

Use Odin3_v3.12_PrinceComsy to flash:
G930UUEU4BQD2_G930UOYM4BQD2_TMB.zip
I definitely flashed this and Rooted it and it is way smoother than the official T-mobile Nougat. I tried to downgrade back to MM but, it wouldn't work so, this solved my problems with performance. Also, root breaks fingerprint reader.
What's this from? The latest T-Mobile is QC1. Thanks.

It works as long as you make sure you download the USC version so that you can get the metro pcs apn by default
I just purchased the S7 T version.
Do I need to flash the Tmobile modem afterward to have 4x4mimo,256qam, radio,VOLTE, etc working just like other post mentioned when they flashed the MM version or just by flashing all the files provided will do the trick.
If I do need to reflash modem files, Do I use the same MM version modem files for this also.. Where can I get it if not. Thanks all.

TWRP For SM-928A or AT&T version

hello... sorry before if I ask the same question or there's a thread already talking about this...
I just bought this phone yesterday and unfortunately I got this version 928a...
seems like I cant find any guides for rooting this phone... (or not find hard enough) especially installing the TWRP...
is there anyway to root this phone? android without root its not android at all, thats what I thought...
oh yeah there's this option "OEM Unlock" in my developer option and seems like I can turn it on and off is it mean something?
thx before..
anyone?
You'll probably have more luck in the AT&T S6E+ subforum. I have the same phone and did some reading on rooting. A few of the people in the AT&T forum have root, but most don't. No custom ROMs either. The G928A differs from the International version because it requires untripped Knox to work properly, and rooting will trip Knox. It also requires A version stock firmware (international version firmware won't work). Don't know why it's like this, perhaps custom hardware/hardware drivers/security patches specfic to this model?
So me I'm just planning to upgrade from 5.1 to either 6.0 or 7.0 and call it a day.

I would assume that would be impossible because of a locked bootloader. Again, just assuming it has a locked bootloader. If you live in the States, I would recommend trading it for a G928T (T-Mobile). Unlocked bootloader for sure, and lots of ROMs have support for it.
