I think U does have a unlocked bootloader.. i could be wrong though..
Unless yours is a verizon variant on U fw. Then yes you still have a locked bootloader.

I recently rooted and want to install custom ROMs, meaning I need to flash a Custom recovery, meaning I need to unlock my bootloader.
How do I go about doing this?

So even in the international versions the bootloader cannot be unlocked? I thought it was only the US versions where the bootloaders would be locked down.
Can custom ROMs not be flashed through ODIN? I really just want to get away from TouchWiz.
Edit: Am I correct in assuming that you dont get OTA updates while rooted? If so how would it be possible to update the OS if I cannot flash ROMs?
Are you on the enxyos version?

We wouldn't know for sure. You have a different processor and different firmware to include an unlockable firmware.
You're posting in a SPRINT forum where almost all members don't have an unlockable bootloader therefor don't have any experience achieving what you're seeking.
Thus, you'd be better off posting your inquiry in a thread for your device, not ours.
But your bootloader should already be unlocked.
Just flash the TWRP recovery just like you did when you rooted. Shouldn't be that difficult.
Does this means that "Link2SD" can't be fully used on S7 (G935F)?
because I get the infamous "/data/sdext2 mount not found" error and for what i have googled, is because of a protected /system folder...
Am i right?

First, flash ENG boot in the AP. Then, go back immediately and flash the CSC CP and AP of the ROM of your choice. Simple, easy, DOWNGRADE COMPLETE!!!

when some one tests this can they please do a video to prove if it works, also can we flash CSC that does not factory wipe the phone. also I don't remember for sure but isn't the U firmware bootloader 2 the international version with the unlocked bootloader?
I wanted to know you you could wip up a quick tutorial or steps for us . I can tell its really simple and easy. but once we unzip the firmware wont it then lose the md5 has and signature. of are the 5 files inside also signed.

Yep, if this works then the OP is a genius who's name will live on in the T-Mobile s7 edge forum. People will be able to flash the U firmware again. Can someone also verify that knox doesn't get tripped?

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 main thing that *most* people want is the U firmware. Also, I'm not really sure exactly what knox does other than to not trip it.

If this works, this would be amazing. I don't want root, I don't want to even unlock my bootloader, I just want to put the U firmware on my T-Mobile S7.
Not to get off topic but what's the big deal about the u firmware is it Universal or is it unbranded with a lot less bloat. Or additional features?

It is unbranded, let's you uninstall bloat apps completely, and unlocks most us bands.

Have you successfully done this and does that not mean that downgraded bootloader is also unlocked. Or that we could flash another models bootloader to to the s7 edge
Maybe we been trolled?

"Yes, you can downgrade APG1 to APD8!!!!!" pd8 i guess is bootloader v3. if he downgrade to bp8,this thread thread will be on fire!!!
I'm pretty sure pd8 is v3 bootloader also. Shouldn't be any issues downgrading pg1 to pd8 regularly, both same version bl.

So guys, I've goy APD8 and have downloaded the update but haven't installed. Is there any way I can delete the update file, it's taking up space. Also why is the new updste so bad?

I'll be happy to try on the next couple days, but I'm having a hard time finding a good link to the U firmware that doesn't require payment. Anyone have a link?

It is not bad, but comes with a later bootloader which can limit some options.

Currently there is no root for any G6 yet. So far the only model with unlocked bootloader is T-MOBILE version and they don't even have root yet as T-Mobile disabled the fastboot commands needed to flash TWRP and SuperSU. Just give it some time, this phone just recently got released.
Any news as of yet?

There won't be any news.
There is no developer trying to root this phone.
There are two versions that have unlockable bootloaders.
Since there are versions that can be bought outright with custom recovery and root capability, the developers are focused on ROMS.
THE Best alternative is to sell what you have and buy the unlocked international version.
Stock firmware ... if you are having issues with your device or just simply want to return back to stock!
Note
Verizon Wireless variant!

Uh, whut?
I think he just meant if you want to have the phone reset to how it came out of the box. There is no root available yet.
what is that user data file never saw that before in firmware package
So is it true that you cant cross carrier flash the firmware like the S7? Supposedly samsung blocks it or odin is outdated?

Yes download Samsung smart switch to your pc and then down load the latest firmware. Once downloaded flash with odin but do not use the home csc.
Will this work
