Hi guys..
Long time lurker..
I'm no newb when it comes to rooting, but I've never presented myself with this scenario before.
I recently purchased an unlocked S7 (SM-G930U) straight from Samsung. I'm planning on using it with VZW
Should I activate it first then follow rooting instructions for VZW?
Or root it while unlocked?
Thanks for any help.

Nope, as of now there are no de-bloated firmwares available for the US versions.

I do have a G930P and I did flash it with a G930U FW which doesn´t have any company bloatware, phone works better than before, mine was unlocked since I bought it and I'm using it with a Mexico SIM with no problems.
Please check this post in the S7 AT&T section:

Thanks man you helped me alot
Hey guys, I'm new to rooting. The wondershare Root tool didn't work for me. I have a feeling it doesn't work for my model, and looked through the forums here but am very overwhelmed of all the threads.
Can someone help me determine if my phone is rootable? And if so, how to implement it?
It's originally from ATT, but now with Flash Wireless for Tmobile.

Well that sucks!
Hi all! So I'm pretty familiar with rooting my Galaxy S4 but have recently purchased and upgraded to a Galaxy S7. It's an SM-G930U model and currently set up with my MetroPCS account. I've had some issues finding ROMS that I can use with Odin to root but haven't had much luck. I was able to find stock roms in case something goes awry but no luck with customs. Can someone help me out with a link? Thanks!

There are no custom roms since the bootloader is locked so the rooting process is different from what you are used to, so follow this guide:

Will this method work for the S7 930U?

Yes, it will work just please make sure you flash the correct file and read very carefully.
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

I have been away from the community since about the Note 10+ due to the impossible chance of rooting the Snap variations at the time. I am wondering if this has been remedied? Is true root still possible on Snapdragon chips? Are awesome ROMs still be developed if so? Is TWRP still a useful and usable tool In this day and age? I'm glad to be back to the community today and I'm desperately hoping that good news will follow in this thread.
Thanks for having me back.
Depends what device and what bootloader version the device is on. Its a paid service now

Really? How do you go about paying? And do you need to pay to access the area where the Mod ROMs would be? So for example, I have a US ATT Snapdragon Galaxy S22 Ultra. From what I see there is no Modded ROMs for it but I do think I saw a root method. So would I need to pay to access a area where Mod ROMs would be?
You need to pay $150 (IIRC) to have your bootloader unlocked.

He's discussing the US model, which is bootloader locked. The root method you posted is for the B and E models, not the U.
