I have the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Snapdragon phone which I have seen on the xda site cannot be unlocked to root.
. My question is . : I have enabled developer otions and my oem unlock setting is not grayed out I can enable it. Does that mean I can unlock my bootloader and can root my device then?
. Thanks for any answers.

I just rooted my s7 edge and I was looking for a Bootloader unlock but I heard that the s7 doesn't have a Bootloader unlock and never will? Can someone confirm this information?
Is there an ability to unlock the Bootloader, if not is there a chance that it will be unlocked?
The Snapdragon version of the Edge isn't (currently) unlockable, but the Exynos (International version) is. Your bootloader is unlocked if you managed to successfully root.

What are you even talking about? You're rooted. It's done. Nothing is locked.

I am trying to root my s8 with model number SM-G950w(Candian Variant).
However i dont see OEM unlock option in Developer options.
Any help would be appreciated
There's only one way to root the us/cdn s8 and it has nothing to do with oem unlock https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/development/samsung-galaxy-s8-root-snapdragon-t3659305
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 "

Hello everyone,
I have recently bought a used s7 edge from ebay and the phone is FRP locked. The phone is on security level 2 (G935FXXS2DRCE) and on Android 7.
Is there any trick I can apply to bypass the FRP lock?
Notes: Custom binary wont work because it will be blocked by FRP.
regards,
Sudip
Check out the general s7 forum . You have an international variant... Which has a different processor and firmware.

Thanks for your comment. However, I am yet to come across a post that guides us through the FRP bypass process.
Is there an updated root method for the s7 edge tmobile version? I need magisk on it (it's a US snapdragon model but has OEM unlock enabled)
