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.

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 had to trade my S6 in 2016 because I couldnt stand not being able to flash custom roms via recovery, and at the time it was deemed nearly impossible to bootloader unlock an S6, especially since dev's were losing interest working around Exynos chip vs Qualcomm. But what about today? I see some threads talking about roms and TWRP and stuff which makes me think this phone was finally cracked? Is that so? Or is it only very particular variants? I remember there was like 1 model S6 that you could properly root if it had a very specific version of Android on it at the time, but if it was ever upgraded it was locked.
So which phones are bootloader/recovery installable? And what do I need to know version wise before buying one? (like are some versions blacklisted, to stay away from)
Bootloader is not locked on S6 except AT&T variant.

but it used to be right? I had a verizon S6 and it was basically impossible to unlock as I recall. Is this a new development?
Im new to thus ohone and how do i root this phone it's on Android 8.0.0 and idk how too root i tried cf-auto root but bootloader fails idk how to unlock bootloader
The snapdragon / US models (G930V/T/U/S/P) can't unlock their bootloader
The only method is using a leaked engineering bootloader that's unstable and limits charging to 80% then using flashfire, but I don't know where to get this BL from.
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.
Hi guys
I updated my s7 by OTA to last update version G930VVRU8CRJ3
i have tried all possible method to root my phone and it's all faild
does anyone have a way to root or downgrade it??
If it's a G930V you can't downgrade, Snapdragon bootloader prevents downgrading.
There are some root methods in the Verizon / T-mobile S7 subforums.
Note that the USA models have a locked bootloader that can't be unlocked, so root involves using a leaked engineering bootloader to bypass the restriction, which can have mixed results.

I think this is the problem I notice it from one of T-Moble s7 theards is any solution for this case
((I did NOT base it on G930TUVS8CRJ1 (the latest) because that has bootloader ver8, which we don't have root for yet. (DONT take that OTA since you can NOT downgrade!) And if I had to guess, the only difference are some minor security updates, but mostly the security update that prevents root!!! ))
