Why is the SM-G928V Model un-rootable? - Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is a Verizon variant of the s6 edge plus and ive searched high and low, there are no successful rooting methods for this device. What makes this model un-rootable? is it the bootloader thats to blame? I have this model and also have it unlocked for any carrier but havent had any such luck fidning a rooting method, Does anyone have any info whatsoever in a root for this model?

Which model number for root success?

I've been doing quite a bit of searching and can't find a clear enough answer. I currently own an att note 5 (which seems might never get root). I'm looking to possibly go to a note 4 but I'm comfused on which model would be easiest to root. I'm on att, does this model have perm root? How about North America unlocked model (W8 )? Is this only a Canadian model? Is there a U.S unlocked model? If so, what is the model #? Thanks in advanced!

Can I flash any rom for the S7 edge if I got the unlocked model?

I will soon receive a Galaxy s 7 edge with the model number G935U. I was wondering if this unlocked version of the Galaxy S7 edge will be able to flash any rom that is for the S7 edge despite having a different model number?

Nope, snapdragons have locked bootloaders as far as i know, so you cant flash a custom rom etc, only rooting was possible via engineering kernel.

Thanks for the response, so I'm guessing the unlocked model's bootloader can't be unlocked? I've seen a couple of custom roms for the other model numbers of the S7 edge.

You can check here for U model https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7...on-roms-kernels-recoveries--other-development
But there are custom roms for only chinese and korean snapdragon variants. I don't think of any rom for US snapdragon variants.
Btw, you can see if you have unlocked bootloader for yourself. Go in developer options and see if there is a option there with " Allow OEM unlock "

Is it possible to root G930P running G930PVPU6BRD2?

I just "upgraded" from an S5 to an S7 that I bought on Ebay running G930PVPU6BRD2. Coming from an S5, I just assumed (before I bought the S7) that the S7 could be rooted, but based on my web research, it seems impossible. Before I give up and live my life unrooted for the first time ever, I just want to confirm... Can I root my S7?

Bootloader is locked down tight.
method was found to root using 'engineering bootload'. This method yeilds limited root. No custom roms.
Sprint started updating bootloader separately of other carriers AND e-fused the bootloader so engineer bootloader no longer work on Sprint variant.
The digit '6' in G930PVPU'6'BRD2 isbthe bootloader version identifier. No going backward, e-fused.
Kaptain: Thank you for that excellent explanation.

You have a snapdragon version that has a locked bootloader, there is no current standalone root method, if you have the latest bootloader installed then the mentioned methods you've used won't work as they haven't patched it yet. Blame the network providers for all this.
same issue

5th digit back from end is bootloader revision there is now a method of rooting nougat only. No oreo or pie. Fortuanatly the method installs safestrap where you can flash a nougat system img. Su and busybox. On top of a revision 5 combination nougat bootloader. Look up s8 safestrap edl
As a side note more than likely you will convert your model to a U model instead of a w
