I'm trying to figure out what Samsung Galaxy s7 to buy, leaning towards the g930f due to the unlocked Sim...
Are all the g930f bootloader locked? But the international versions I'm assuming allow you to unlock the bootloader
Thanks
There's a twrp recovery for the 930f and 930w8 so it can't have a locked bootloader.

I've had the Sm-g930u for a while now and irritated that there are no officials roots for it yet. Unlike its other variants. Im wondering if there ever will be a root for sm-g930u.
Oh the Snapdragon Variant, I think there's no way ( yet ) to root Snapdragon Variants as the bootloader cannot be unlocked and there is also no way the bootloader could be unlocked. I don't know what the US Carriers plan to do about this issue but for now the bootloader is not unlockable.
If I buy galaxy s7 is it still valntable to hacking to bootloader .xml/http. ##ffffff

US models are snapdragon with a locked bootloader, so you can't modify it.
International model can have the bootloader unlocked and modified.
Is there anyway to unlock the Bootloader of the snapdragon galaxy s7
There is no way to unlock the bootloader at the moment.

Do you think there will be a way soon?
I highly doubt the bootloader for any USA phone will be unlocked soon. Just need to look at the s4, s5, s6, note 3, etc. which still have a locked bootloader after all these years.
Unless US carrier decide to feel charitable, it's not going to happen. They're the ones twisting Samsung's arm in the US market.
Sorry if this has been asked. I'm wondering if the S8+ SnapDragon variants have bootloader unlock and root yet. The S8+ has been out for a while now, so if they can't be unlocked, it's very likely that they will never be unlocked?
I'm wondering because I'm thinking about buying the S9+, but the SnapDragon variants do not have BL unlock and root, and I'm not sure if they *ever* will. I'm looking at the unlock status of the S8+ to kind of gauge the possibility of unlock with the S9+.
EDIT: Wow, even looking back at the S7, LineageOS is only supported on the Exynos models and none of the SnapDragons:

Opt for the exynos if you want bl unlock, the snapdragon variants are bl locked.
What models run on exynos? I have G955F single sim.

Crazy question but are you sure the bootloader is unlocked?
AT&T are pretty famous on XDA for having unlockable bootloaders.

Agreed I think you're confusing carrier lock with bootloader lock, which are different things.
If you tried going into the APN settings and searching for carrier networks?
