Recently my phone updated and the baseband is G935TUVS9CSB2. It is also in the oreo version.I was wondering if I would be able to root my s7 edge currently or if I would have to wait a bit for it.
bummer no one replied
Yes
Yes you can, I have done so. Just don't ever take the carrier update again, just in case.
You will need this ENG Boot....
Enjoy!

Hello all,
I am looking at getting the S7. I currently have the s7 edge, but hate the screen. The one thing I love about the edge is that I was able to flash the Unlocked firmware to it, replacing the VZW version and all of its abundance of crap. Does anyone know if there U firmware can be flashed to the stock VZW s7 achieving the same end result?
Thanks!
yes, just google xda at and t forum...U firmware will work superbly...
make sure ...remove sim...format before and after flashing..
Hi, I have an unlocked US S7 edge that I bought from B&H. I've been using it lately with a T-Mobile SIM. It looks like it has downloaded a T-Mobile security update and is asking to install. I do not want to do this as I suspect it will lock me to a carrier once updated. I've tried resetting the phone and removing the SIM card, but the update downloads every time. Is there a way to disable this or remove the downloaded update? I would like to upgrade to Nougat and I suspect the unlocked phone will get it much faster than the T-Mobile version.

Once your phone is unlocked none of the tmobile or any other updates from any place
can re-lock your phone. It will remain unlocked regardless if you choose to update
firmware, security patches and any other updates.
Unlocked samsung phones are permanently unlocked.
Goodl luck,
Have a great day!
Got the phone unlocked and was wondering if it was safe to flash the SM-G935T firmware variants on the Sprint S7 Edge. Plan on using this phone on T-Mobiles network.
I know people have converted their SM-G935P to SM-G935U but I can only find the 6.01 version of that. SM-G935T has the 7.0 version (nougat variant)
You ever find an answer to this or give it a try? I want to try to move an S7 Edge from Sprint to T-Mobile soon as well.

Depends on your firmware version. If you go to your firmware version and go 5 digits back, this will give you the answer. If it is a 5 or 6, out are out of luck; if you have a 4, you'll be fine.

If your device is original from Sprint, it's impossible to flash any firmware because is a BINARY 6, and is the unique device on that, so... forget it.
Sprint change the binary to avoid users to modify the device, leave or erase their apps. Once your S7 have the May update/compilation, the device will never be able to root or unlock the bootloader again. or at least until the U variant change the binary to 6 also, but probably will never happend, Samsung hate their US products because of the FCC laws and the terrible rules and conditions of the carriers.
You can only install Original Oreo or downgrade to Nougat with May Update/compilation.
Otherwise sell or change your device for a U variant or an Exynos phone.
I recently bought my s7 edge directly from the samsung website at&t version and got it unlocked to be used on the tmobile network. I tried updating the phone to nougat but at&t software update would say that I am on the latest software which was 6.0.1. I even used a working at&t sim card because I thought maybe you need to be on their network but still it gave me the same thing. Finally I just used odin to update to nougat but I wanted to know if anyone knows why I was not able to update ota?

You are on the international version if you bought it directly from Samsung. They haven't released the international N for the S7 Edge. I know this is frustrating but you aren't the only one. If you can put up with ATTs bloat then go flash the Odin files, they have been released for ATT.

Sorry guys, complete amateur here. I have an AT&T S8+ that was unlocked using a code from AT&T.
I switched to T-Mobile and my phone worked perfectly after simply inserting a T-Mobile sim.
Carriers push updates over the air and I assumed I would have put in an AT&T sim to get the oreo update, but it's been out forever and I have not been able to update my phone. I've been busy and never got around to it. My phone was working fine so I just it slide.
I've tried using an AT&T sim. I've restarted my phone with the AT&T sim in it. I've tried manually searching for the update. I've tried smart switch. I even went to the Samsung experience store in NYC and they had no solution. My phone will not update.
Any suggestions?

I've been reading some of these threads and I'm not sure if this is correct, but I can use Odin 3.13.1 to flash to CRB9? That would get me to the first Oreo release?
Sorry if this is not the correct place for this thread. Thanks
