Desperately need this for Nexus 7

Hello everyone. I must apologize if this thread does not belong her. I just desperately need help. I have posted a similar thread in another category but I think it didn't get much attention so I'll repost it here.
"I have ran out of options and finally decided to take this step, not really sure if it will work but still hoping though that it will. I have come here to ask for help from developers and people with great knowledge in these things. Here is my situation. My friend bought a gmate+ device abroad as a gift for me here in Philippines and unfortunately, this device can only be used in the country it was bought in. After reading things in the manufacturer's site and contacting them (they have a very not-so-satisfying customer service, sorry to mention this), it seems that there really is no cure for my case unless I have it ship back and ask for refund then buy a new one here instead,which is also almost impossible because I do not have the receipt(the item was just given to me without any receipt) and I do not know exactly from which store my friend purchase it(and according to him, he is also unsure from which store exactly because he went shopping for things as gifts not in just a single store or place). So to make the story short, I now have a useless piece of device which could have been really great for my Nexus 7 if only it works. The gmate+ is a device sold by the company Skyroam. This is a bluetooth device which allows an Android or iOS running gadget to have the ability to use GSM service through it via bluetooth pairing and software. I do not know if it is really hard, but I'm thinking ( actually hoping and praying ) that maybe somebody here could do something about my case, perhaps build a workaround via a software/app. I would really appreciate it if anybody would take time to work on this project. Additional info which may help, if anybody's interested, I'm running the stock update Android 4.3 for the Nexus 7 2012 (now rooted via wugfresh's toolkit).
Thanks and more power! "

Sorry about that. I kindly request that this thread be moved there. Or should I re-post it there instead?

No do not repost. A Mod will move it soon enough.

So anybody with any help? :/

Guys, solved it.forced install the app and it just worked...anyway,thanks guys!:good:

Do not buy International if you use ATT LTE!

It was very difficult to find a concrete 'yes' or 'no' answer on the various threads here (a lot of discussion of bands and such which may be insanely intimidating to a new user / member). So, from what I've discovered from use and forums, and please correct me if I'm wrong, is that if you are use the 4G LTE network in America you will not be able to connect and use the enhanced speeds on the G900F model. Instead, you'll be stuck with 3G (if you're lucky) and 2G speeds.
Like I said, if anyone knows otherwise and if so can correct me in a very direct (and respectful) way so as to not intimidate new users (like my self) please do so. Especially since I'll be selling my G900F shortly. I truly do thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster that I kept my G900A version just in-case I found any problems with the international version.

Thank you gee2012 for feeling the need to be insulting instead of adding anything productive. Because I am a new user to the Android OS, mentioned that I scanned through the forums here and did not find a clear and concise answer to my very direct question, and found conflicting information through google searches as well as threads here I thought I could possibly help out other new users who may have the same question and feel a bit daunted by the sheer wealth of technical information here. I thought helping each other out, especially those brand new to the OS, was the XDA way. Not responding with a purely negative message to someone trying to be helpful.

I`am not insulting or dissing anyone mate but you only had to compare for instance the G900F supported LTE bands with the used ATT bands on Google and you`re question would have been answered.

No disrespect meant and I apologize for not being specific in my response to you. When I say conflicting information it was based on a google search for what I felt was a basic question, "Does the S5 G900F support the ATT 4G LTE network?" That query led to websites with conflicting information (a few said it did, a few said it didn't, and a few more said 'maybe'). When I came across more information via these forums and more google searching there was no clear and distinct answer that was readily found. What was found, like you referred to, was information on base bands. Because I was new not only to the Android OS but the complexities of phones outside of the walled garden that is iOS I investigated what a base band was. From here I continued my search into the ATT bands and compared them to the S5 G900F model to see if they were compatible. Once figuring out that they were not I had answered my own question. After realizing that there are others out there who either don't have the knowledge, access to, or time I thought I'd share my 'discovery' (and yes, I realize it was not really one) with others.
So yes, you were insulting when you said I "'layed [laid] back to wait for others to answer your question" as I didn't. You assumed from my simple and brief post that I had not taken the time to do any actual searching and was lazily waiting for someone to answer my question. It was an incorrect inference which led to a seemingly sarcastic response (and associated ) which while it won't dissuade me from posting or asking questions does not, IMO, represent the helpful community aspect of XDA.
With that said I see you are a Recognized Contributor, so thank you for the information you've contributed to others throughout XDA.

I am noting more than you are. Just trying to help others by reading and trying to figure out how things work.

Root Unavailable for s7 Edge (Snapdragon)

I've rooted every phone I've owned and was expecting to do the same with my new s7 Edge (Snapdragon on android 6.0.1). After much google searching/reading I want to confirm that not only is there no root but there likely will be no root because of a locked bootloader?
Are you able to root the S7? I may switch to that if so.

Here's a link for you to go explore the xposed forums that you failed to read.
Xposed has been around quite a bit longer than the S7. And simply because you are "in disbelief" or "denial", doesn't change the ability to read all the threads for xposed, and all that has been posted quite a bit before the s7 was mentioned.

ENOUGH! Unless you want this thread moved to the Asperger's section you guys are way off topic.
OP, you have your answer. There is no ETA for root. There probably won't be root at all.
My opinion which was inspired by my own perspective is that if you were able to find the forum, you could have taken at least FIVE minutes to read on the progress of root. It seriously would have taken less time to search than to start a new thread. Most of us on here are hoping, wishing, begging and even praying for root access. We've been following the results closely and some of us are even risking our own devices out of desperation to acquire to what has only have been complete failure so far. So with that being said, we're all a bit edgy. So on behalf of the forum, please just accept this as our excuse and most formal apology for any "rudeness" or "inconsiderate" responses to your inquiry. For future reference, all XDA members are encouraged to search prior to starting a new thread for the very reason of avoiding situations such as this. You've been a member for five years and so far have had 50 posts, 10 threads and two of those (threads) are the EXACT same.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/external-usb-keyboard-mouse-htc-10-t3406812 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/external-usb-keyboard-mouse-htc-10-t3406655 posted about five hours apart. (How do you even do that?)
So in conclusion, it's unfair to be defensive when in all honesty all of this could easily be avoided by using the forum for it's very purpose which is to gather and share information to each other, not to have everyone research for you.
Sorry if this was long winded, but I felt that it was necessary to say.

To answer your question I had no idea I double posted that thread, I don't even know how it happened lol
I actually did a lot of searching on this forum before posting, honestly there's just no obvious post title's that talk about root for the s7 edge snapdragon. Go check it out, search "root access", "root", "s7 edge root" on these forums and see what you come up with, the thread titles definitely do not indicate that root is discussed within them (for snapdragon).

If there was root then there would be a "HOW TO ROOT" guide. It's how it's always been. But stating that you searched and somehow didn't pick up the obvious that it isn't possible (yet) is only going to get you flamed. Members only assume that you're either trolling or at the very best too lazy to search it out. There are several threads and comments regarding lack of root. There are petitions and bounties for it as well. So you still defend that with all of your searching you didn't see ANY of that? That's what most of us find hard to believe.

Your post really drives my point home.
I was looking/searching for s7 edge root information. The only logical place for me to search these forums is in the "s7 edge" forums. Many of the links you gave below are in the S7 forum; why would someone search in the s7 forum for information on the s7 edge? They wouldn't...But here's the actual issue, the rest of the links you gave either do not show up when you search the forum for "root" or they are buried so far into the search it's not practical to find it. Again, try it yourself. go to the S7 edge page here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge
and do a search for "root" and see what you get. Can you honestly not see how these search results do not lead to a definitive answer? To prove my point even more, I actually typed in one of the titles you gave below, "Root and unlocked bootloader update" into the search box and it didn't even bring that thread up after searching the title directly. Maybe the search is broken. Try it yourself, it doesn't work.

You're just making excuses. You failed to search and read. We're not going to open more threads discussing how rooting is NOT possible when it should be clear for anyone with common sense would see that if it WAS possible, there would be guides to do it. You don't need to post a thread asking for something that doesn't exist when it clearly isn't otherwise there would be guides, roms, kernels, recoveries, themes, mods, etc. You don't see any of that because they don't exist. They don't exist because there's NOTHING TO GIVE! Not sure why the concept is so difficult to grasp though. The S7 and S7 Edge (Qualcomm) is almost identical with the exception of the screen. Neither of which has root.
But I gave your search a try. Under S7 Edge forum. I searched for "Qualcomm root" and resulted in:

lol, seriously man. You really think someone who just bought an s7 edge looking to root would know to search for the term "Qualcomm"? That's the first I have ever heard that term, I searched "root" and even knew to search "snapdragon". The search you used is only obvious after you know more than the average person about the s7 Edge.
But anyway let me make sure I have everything straight now:
Searching "root" in the S7 Edge forums may not yield the results you are looking for because the S7 Edge is also known as the Snapdragon and may at times also be referred to as the Qualcomm or Qualcomm S7 Edge but can be more commonly referred to as MODEL TYPE: SM-G935P however depending on the locale of purchase it will be referred to as the Exynos which is the international version MODEL TYPE: (SM-G935T) of the snapdragon QUALCOMM s7 "edge" SM-G935P and contains a Samsung processor instead of the Snapragon but may be confused with the identical model (except for the screen) which is the s7 and also has a counterpart in Europe and like it's edge sister model has a locked boot-loader which prevents it from gaining root access unlike the overseas version which is currently unlocked and is able to be rooted so when you see threads talking about the SM-G935T Exynos root then you should know that it's not necessarily referring to the version of phone you have although it may be if you purchased it online through a third party with an unlocked sim card.
It's all very obvious to anyone with common sense.

Yet you still made this thread. For what purpose though? Did you expect your thread to remind us, "Oh! That's what we're missing! Let's create a 'How to root' thread so that people can figure out how to root it because we all know how incapable the forum is without a guide."
For one thing, the forum is very capable. This is how we acquire root access in the first place. Smart ones acquire root and make a guide for the rest of us (dumb ones) so that we can have root as well. If the "smart ones" haven't created a guide for us "dumb ones" (ie the rest of us) then clearly it's not available. But like you said, you're in denial. So in your eyes, we should definitely have root but for some reason it's not being shared with the rest of us. So what do YOU do to fix it? Post a thread to remind everyone that there isn't a root guide. That. That right there is what perplexes me and I'm 100% certain that I'm not alone. Now I'm not trying to be rude but please search, research and read prior to starting a thread. ONLY create a thread if after a LOT of searching and posting in relevant threads you still come up empty. You've created 10 threads with 50 posts. Two of which are duplicate somehow. No including the threads started or your defensive responses here, that's 40 posts. That's a 20% "I can't find it so I'll ask the forum to give it to me instead of searching more" ratio. I'm a retired forum moderator, former developer, regular contributor and I only have 51 threads to my 5,600 post count. since 2009. That's a 1% "Let me start a thread for this" ratio for a moderator / developer. On average, that's 5 threads a year as a moderator / developer. See where I'm going with this? There is almost nothing new that hasn't been mentioned or discussed somewhere within this forum. You just need to take the time to find it instead of just jumping to start a new thread. This is actually a forum rule. Number #1 to be exact. I'll post the link just in case you can't find it either.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=256
So with that being said, please take time to search and read prior to posting new threads.
Again, I'm not trying to be disrespectful. Simply acknowledge that you should spend more time searching, reading, researching and participating in other threads prior to creating new ones. We're trying to reduce clutter and needless threads such as this. Moderators are constantly trying to clean and close them when they should be focusing on more important issues within the forum. We're all doing our part to help out in this forum but while I've spent at least a collective helping you for something that you really could have done for yourself, I could have been focusing on more important issues. I simply could not go without trying to give you sound advice before getting majority of the forum upset at you. Which WILL happen if you're not careful.
Best wishes and good luck. I'll be reporting this thread for closing if that's okay?

TL;DR confirmed.
THREAD CLOSED as it's run off course and become pointless.
@OP, don't start another one like it. Feel free to read up on the currently open threads if you still have questions.

Enabling USB Debugging While FRP Locked?

First of all, let me just say that you guys rock.
I've been coming here a loooooong time for any and all of my cell needs.
I rarely have to post, and so I rarely do. If you ask a question that has been answered already somewhere on the forum, someone is always ready and willing to point it out and make you feel .... well....inadequate.
So I do a LOT of research before I decide to pipe in.
I have a Samsung S7 (Sprint) SM-G930P with Nougat 7.0 installed on it. I bought it at the flea market this passed weekend for $15. Hell of a deal I thought. He told me it was FRP locked. That was why so cheap. But I said, XDA has all the answers, this is no problem.
There is a problem.
I have looked and looked here, and on google, and youtube.... no one seems to want to address the issue of not being able to enable USB Debugging while FRP locked. Or if they have, I have missed it (and someone will more than likely point out that fact!)... Lol!
How in the hell do I downgrade to 6.0, flash anything period or access ANYTHING via Odin without my PC being able to connect or see this phone? I can't use RealTerm either so no help there.....
Anyone??

FRP lock is a security feature that prevents a lost or stolen phone from booting. It is there to protect the phone and original owners information and make the phone unusable to anyone after. I'm pretty sure XDA doesn't allow such talk since we would be helping you get into a possibly stolen phone. There are solutions, XDA just isnt the best option to discuss stuff like this

If someone wants to ask questions who are you to judge someone who asks questions. We are all here to learn. Prove that he is shady and trying to do illegal activities before you start bashing someone

Xda is the place to learn everything about rooting and removing security features. That's what development is about. We bypass security features so the phone makers can know which ways to secure their software. This is what development is. If you are a bully on here then you should be banned

Are G900T really able to make phone calls in France?

Hello,
My title is a bit misleading since I have already successfully had phone calls on a G900T on the Free network. However, it's very unreliable and most of the times my calls don't go through: I just get a hangup after 1 minute, and didn't even get a dialtone.
Is there anything I can do to make it better? I'm not on stock ROM anymore but on crDroid 4.6.1 (latest version available in the "Unified Development" section). I have enabled all bandwidths in the settings ("Preferred network type" is LTE/DSCDMA/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA). I have this for baseband: G900TUVU1GQC2) and kernel is Linux 3.4.113-lineageos-g0ed263d.
Thanks for any help/info!

This is a tough question since the device is, in general, compatible with the French Network Provider but, it looks like the device is lacking on a very small band of frequencies for the Free Network.
Though it's always "encouraged" for the use of the SM-G900F (International Variant) since it has a much broader frequency range across the board.
I did locate the following link that reflects the same/similar question as yours. It may be a few years old but, the information, in general, should still be relevant today.

This is the best I can help you with but, I do hope that it is helpful and maybe someone here can provide you with something a bit more helpful.
You can always try to obtain some member guidance within the following Q&A thread that's specific to your device and variants.
