[Q] Does the Unlocked firmware work on the VZW S7?

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..

TWRP possible?

I'm debating buying an AT&T variant and I seen a QC TWRP for S7 but wasn't certain it'd flash to an ATT model

Our bootloaders are locked. No custom recovery or fw available that isn't samsung. If your carrier is att you won't get volte WiFi calling or video calling without the g930a.

Thanks for verifying, a shop broke my s6 and I'm just researching a replacement now, but the only S7 they had was ATT. Other choices was S6, S6 Edge, or a Sprint Note 5
My biggest concern is unbricking if I made a booboo. I wasn't aiming for AOSP roms, but a debloated stock rom would suffice

Package disabler pro works wonders and the 7.0 update is pretty stable, and there is always u firmware

g935u forgotten

I looked everywhere but can't find a solution, since it's April 2017 and it's something unheard of that a Samsung flagship is still almost a year behind on the new android version I wanna know if there's the chance to flash the g935f nougat or the TMO version on it. Plus i was wondering if the bootloader is unlockable since I believe it's required for such a procedure.

can i know if i can install the nougat firmaware for g935f on my g935u?

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 "

Which S8 allow custom ROM

I know that for example all US version of S7 has locked bootloader and thus no custom ROM possible. I am thinking on getting an S8 soon so wondering if there are any device/country preventing custom ROM. I want LineageOS

S9 exynos. S8 doesn't have it, both snapdragon and exynos have modded stock rom only
