Hey guys so I have already rooted my Galaxy S7 T-Mobile Variant and would like to know how to install TRWP on it.
Already search here but didn't find any tutorial, all I found was for the Exynos Version.
How can I install TRWP on my S7 (T-Mobile)
I believe the bootloader is still locked on the snapdragon models so you won't be able to install TWRP.

MAN! I had hope that I could install a custom rom.
Hi community, this is a good forum for the SM-G935U as well.
Someone who have the G935U need to try the G9350 TWRP RECOVERY, it supposed to be an UNLOCK BOOTLOADER. I have 4 of the G935T phones but no G935U, also I have the original TWRP RECOVERY for G935T. Maybe that RECOVERY will work on the G935U model. There's a link for TMB-G935U firmware, Sprint SPR-G935U, Verizon VZW-G935U firmware and International G935U firmware. I will upload the latest firmware for US VERSION. ENJOY FELLAS!!!

These are carrier phones not unlocked G935u. Tmobile is G935t, ATT 35A, etc you can see the numbering. These are all locked bootloaders. And they have seperate carrier threads also.

PS: Can you Carrier people that are rooted use flashfire and flash kernels? Or is that broken? What about odin? I need more information if you want roms and kernels.

On t mobile. We can flash roms via flashfire but I don't think we can flash kernels cause our locked bootloader. Only 1 rom available for us on a carrier device. I would LOVE to see some new roms. Also I can be a Tester if you don't have one.

what if you flash a zip to update the kernel blob not the whole boot.img so ramdisk stays untouched? can you flash something like this in flashfire?

Not sure to be honest. We are using a sprint debug boot.img for root so I imagine it can be tweaked
Edit: link to our root method

Recently rooted a SM-G935T using the "High-on-android" tutorial. Battery and performance was horrible, until I flashed the Echoe ROM using FlashFire. Flashing the ROM also changed the model number to SM-G935U.

What version of Echo did you flash? And did it get rid of all the lag and battery drain so its like stock again?

I mean v1.xx? v1.50 is the newest but isn't really ready for the G935t. I think 1.40 or 1.41 were the newest versions that work on tmo. The last time I used Echo it was an early version and it had a lot of issues.

v1.20. I've been running it for a couple of days. So far, the only issue I've encountered is with the internet browser's secret mode. Sometimes it hangs.

Does the Echoe rom use the U baseband? It must if it changed it or maybe the APK1 CSC MODWM file perhaps.
Baseband is now showing G935TUVU4APIA. I'm not sure what is was before, but guessing it didnt change because of the "T" in the G935T.
Okay so I have this Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge G935U TMobile Version.
What I NEED to know is when using Odin to flash these files which files go to PDA, or PHONE?
Is the AP file for the PDA slot or PHONE slot?
Thank you for your help in advance.
I prefer the speed and performance of marshmallow on the S7. Where are the correct files I should flash in Odin and which version of Odin should I be using to flash Android 6?
So apparently the camera isn't working after downgrade to 6?
Not something I'm willing to deal with unless the issue has been solved.
You can't downgrade snapdragon S7 models (G930U/T/V/A/P) due to the locked bootloader
Any downgrading would only work on the G930F with OEM unlock
Help root or downgrade or both?

I have a sm-g930u factory unlocked and Im also trying to get all i need to downgrade from oreo which is havoc on my battery and i dont know if its better to downgrade to laterst nougat or root it and take care of bloatware to help battery drain yet the problem will persist which is that the upgrade is designed for s8 and s9 with octacore processor and the s7 is working harder with a quad core so temp will always be hotter than before and slower than with nougat . Any help with proper step by step in downgrading my factory unlocked phone would be appreciated and any root links as i havent done it in years.

You can downgrade. You just can't root.

thats not true
You can downgrade any version bit loader by flashing the combo firmware and the rooting combo firmware then flash stock nougat system image its basically what the root method is for Rev11/B. If you are just on nougat then you would have to get the combo firmware that matches the bootloader version you have because if you flash my rev11/B root method you are forever stuck on that bootloader and can never use nougat again or have oreo root as there is no eng root boot.img available for oreo root on rev11/B bootloader

you can downgrade too marshmallow from any version you have because combo firmware for s7 is marshmallow based and its available for all bootloader versions. You just use the combo bootloaders and boot.img and stock system image then root it
If your still on bit 4 you can just flash stock bit 4 marsmallow and root with marshmallow eng root img
This is a Canadian Bell phone. Which US models are equivalent for purposes of rooting? As in I am looking for a stock rooted rom?
Tia
SM-G930W8 is Exynos SoC. All US models are Snapdragon SoC.
Since they're a different SoC there's not really an equivalent, they work entirely different to one another.
From what I've seen US snapdragon root needs the eng bootloader is affects battery and performance https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-method-nougat-t3566978
Anyone figured out how to root the Canadian version with 8.0?

Flash the twrp via odin then boot into recovery and do a wipe format data then reboot again into recovery nd install magisk zip file
U can download these files from XDA just use search
Note : Dont allow system modifications just Press Keep Read Only when booting into twrp recovery
Hi. My s8 plus is at bootloader version 5 now.is possible to flash unlocked version (xaa)? Or change room from Odin? thanks
Also interested. I'm on official Oreo on v5 bootloader on a fresh phone from insurance and trying to get root.
Go to the Verizon section and look there, user @jrkruse has 2 roms posted:
These both work with the new BLv5
Oreo Rom with Xposed/Safestrap; no root
https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s8+/development/rom-t3771206
Nougat Rom with Root/Xposed/Safestrap
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...nt/root-using-odin-modified-firmware-t3693790
If your wanting root functions these are your only options. While the Oreo doesn't have root, it does have SafeStrap for system file modification and Xposed to run non root plugins.
As far as flashing to U1 firmware there is a thread about flashing to it. You should be able to as long as bootloader matches but don't quote me. I'm still on BL3 and still can flash to U1, root rom, oreo rom, stock rom no problem.
