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.

IF we get anything it will most likely be safestrap. So no AOSP.
Use FlashFire!

Are there any Roms or Custom recoveries compatible with this specific model number? Doesn't seem like it.

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.

Sounds interesting, don't know if the different firmware/kernel would run better on our Verizon variant.

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.

Does flashing the engineering kernel unlock more LTE bands by chance? Band 12 to be specific..

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?
Sorry for hijacking this thread.

I flashed the G930U firmware and was able to receive Band 17 successfully. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction with the U firmware!
Did you flash the 930U firmware on a flat S7 or edge Verizon variant device. I have a rooted Verizon device and using it on T-Mobile.
Version 6.0.1 July patch.
Can you pm or reply here on how you managed thanks
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.
I have a bunch of questions. I just received my Verizon S7 as of today, brand new of course.
1. Is it possible to flash this to a different firmware and possibly load a rom for that, I've noticed? Or is there no working rom for this verizon phone because it's from verizon? I know you can root it as well. Verizon firmware seems pretty ass so far and have noticed that it's been heating up just because I'm installing apps from the playstore although people have said it goes away eventually. Any recommendations on which firmware I should use?
2. As for the people who have rooted, how has your experience with it so far in terms of performance, battery life, and stability? I plan on rooting if's worth the trouble so I can use Adaway, Xposed Installer, and etc but mainly to improve my battery life if rooting helps with that!
One answer is that you can use Odin to flash the 930U factory image and have a phone with no carrier bloatware. You will however lose Visual Voicemail and Wifi calling from Verizon. I actually have a 930U and flashed the 930V firmware with no issues.
What's everyone's preference out of the following?
Stock Verizon Firmware
Rooted Verizon Firmware
Stock Unlocked Firmware
Rooted Unlocked Firmware
I'm on rooted Verizon PF2 Firmware, but I need to revert (if possible) to PE1 and re-root in order to get the wifi provisioning fix working. I'm just trying to determine if perhaps I should change it up to something else.

That's fine with me. Does that affect my warranty at all? How has your experience been with the 930U or the 930V? Does this still count as a root or does it just flash a stock image?

It does not trip knox and you can Odin back to stock.
In my honest opinion, go to the G930U firmware and root it. Overall, the unlocked firmware is much smoother after root than the Verizon firmware is. There are fixes to add Advanced calling, WiFi calling, and Visual Voicemail. I'll have to dig them up later.

If you have the fixes please post them and I will most likely go back to the U firmware.

I know it says AT&T, but I can confirm that it does work on the Verizon S7.

as CVertigo1 mentioned, it is for the SM-G930A but works for any US Galaxy S7, yes that includes the SM-G930VL.
Gave up on rooted Verizon PE1 firmware. Tried over and over but was seeing pretty bad battery drain, even after following the tuning guides. I'm back on stock PE1. I am going to try to debloat and test battery life.
Otherwise, I still have my rooted S6 that runs flawlessly, and seems to get better battery life. This is the S7's last chance before I sell it. I bought it for increased better battery life but it hasn't panned out yet.
I just received security patch update in 60mb.
Everything running very smooth so far no issues.
"Edit" users who are curious to know that bootloader is still unlocked and i downgraded to epe3 and dok2 just fine.
Just received same update. Working great.

I'm a relative noob to flashing rom's. Can someone tell me if I'm understanding this correctly?
Installing this update will *unroot* my phone? So after installing this update through odin, I will need to install twrp again while in download mode? And then, once that's installed, reroot my phone?

Didn't work? A little more details and maybe we can help you. I have went from apk1 to qa6, took the latest ota from qa6, had issues with mms so i downgraded all the way back to apk1. What files are you using to downgrade. What version are you trying to go back to. You can only go back so far (i think apk1) since your bootloader was updated along the way somewhere.

I currently have an unlocked USA Samsung Galaxy s8 on Android Pie (latest patch, bootloader 6) and would like to revert to Android 8.0. I found this guide here on XDA, but I was wondering if there was a way to do this without removing the fingerprint scanner functionality and will I trip Knox? Also, I'd like to install PartCyborg, is that in any way possible, and do I still need bootloader version 1 or 2? Thanks for any and all help.
Did you ever get anywhere with it?

If you are already on bit 6, No you cannot. Anti roll back stops it. As for part cyborg rom if you follow the jrkruse edl method you can have cyborg rom and root on nougat only.
