Browsing the S5 forums and came across this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3337909
It's soon to be tested on AT&T variant. Would this possibly work for us?

If you read that OP it is talking about changing the bootloader with a Dev bootloader. There is no Dev bootloader for the US S7 variant.

I tried awhile ago and it didn't work for me because my UTMS menu has been disabled and has no way to access it, I'm on stock KK NC1. However, I saw those who seems to be able to unlock with this method are mostly on older rom.

There's already an older unlock thread with this method and it's confirmed to only work on older firmware or after flashing the old modem.

I've never had any issues talking to AT&T's international support, saying I'm planning on traveling overseas and requesting an unlock code. No charge.

I am long time AT&T customer and never been successful with AT&T's international support. I ended up buying codes on the net.
When I received my S4 a year ago it clearly stated in their website that S4 would not be received the sim-unlock code from AT&T.
I received the S4 with 4.4.2 rom and MDL baseband/modem. I rooted the phone and then flashed the custom rom (Clear Rom 1.5). After that I tried the hidden features that posted on the net to unlock the sim. It did not work. The phone has to be on stock rom that I read later.
I end up buying the code on the net and it worked for me. When I bought the code they gave me several codes to test it. Sim was unlocked in the first code that I entered.
I am thinking about getting Tmobile galaxy s7 to use on Cricket. Can anyone tell if it's sim and bootloader unlocked? I think tmobile s6 was unlocked bootloader and sim.
Thanks.
SIM locked, bootloader unlocked.
SM-G930T 6.0.1
SIM lock doesn't happen until a SIM is put in I believe. That said if you put the Cricket SIM in first it should lick to Cricket.

That's what people are saying, but T-mobile has the app lock on their version. That is part of the software that ships with the phone. Don't believe everything you hear. My SM-G930T came locked to T-mobile.
I'm in the same boat, getting a tmobile s7 for use on cricket.
Unfortunately, it'll come locked, and you'll need to keep it on the network for 40 days before they unlock it for you.
And yet another person on that same boat...
Hopefully we can find a company to remote unlock it. If anyone finds a company that can remote unlock it for a reasonable price, hopefully they can post in this thread
Just because a recovery that isn't meant for your phone can't be flashed on this and because it says Qualcomm secure boot enabled which almost every QC Samsung phone has said does not MEAN THE BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED!!! MY GOD PEOPLE! The tmobile S7 is bootloader UNLOCKED and SIM CARD!
It is as simple as that!!!
Nevermind
Confirmed it with them! http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...r-unlocked-t3335224/post65803692#post65803692

Sim unlock is very possible, mine is. You just use the device unlock app by T-Mobile. But no one, I mean no one, on any USA variant has an unlocked bootloader. Unless they work for samsung or simply aren't sharing.

They are equal. Nougat beta doesn't have root. There is a root guide in general. Be sure to follow all steps. There are important ones to avoid lag and battery drain.

Will do!
What ROMs are good? Anything to watch out for when purchasing, like different carriers (Canada) that maybe don't have an unlockable bootloader or something silly like that I can avoid. Thanks all. I'd do more research but I need a phone early tomorrow morning.
Get the International Exynos S7 if you're after unlocked bootloader & custom ROMs
G930F / G930W8
All US models are BL locked (Snapdragon)
Bell, Telus, and Rogers carry the same model of the s7.

2 questions.
1. can you unlock the BL on the g930w8?
2. Can you then flash AOSP, custom roms just like you can on G930f?
I ask because my g930f got stolen and looking for a replacement.
Thanks.

I got the sm-g930w8 from Telus but haven't started using it yet. I won't be running non-Samsung firmware until the warranty ends.
From what I have seen on XDA, the bootloader should be unlockable since other XDA members are using TWRP on the phone. Here's the link to TWRP which doesn't distinguish between the 930f and 930w8: https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys7.html
