I am looking to purchase this particular model for a couple of reasons. Please tell me if I am correct in my assumptions.
1. The phone is rootable?
I like the phone because it's supports both CDMA and GSM allowing me to travel anywhere in the world and be able to use most of the large local carriers.
It doesn't have any bloatware that can't be removed once rooted and I can customize it with custom roms and bootloaders that support SM-G955UZKAXAA.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

A quick search, or even just a scroll down the page would answer your question.

I have the exact model and it is NOT rootable because it has snapdragon processor.

I was wondering if you had any luck getting this on a gsm network..I know cricket is CDMA but I have read a few different websites listing the specs for this phone and some say it is GSM capable while others say it is not. Currently I am messing with it to see if I can get it on AT&T. Is this even possible. Thanks in advance.

No I couldn't get this to work
I'm sorry but I need some help. I do not want to ruin my phone. I have a Galaxy S6 G920AUCS5DPI1 and want to remove all the AT&T stuff from it, also possibly ROOT it. IAll the info I find it seems is for every model but mine. I don't even understand the model number other than the American stands for its a AT&T built phone. Can someone please help me flash the correct firmware for my model phone and also will it change this number to say a G920F??? I really don't want to ruin my phone....

Greetings and welcome to assist. There is a dedicated forum for the at&t s6 here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s6
unfortunately your bootloader is locked and conventional root does not work but this thread should help you

Good Luck

Hello,
Is it possible flash J700T(Tmobile) firmware onto a J700P(Spring-Boost Mobile) phone? Would it need to be rooted to do this? Kind of new here, but if anyone has any terms or search suggestions, I'd gladly look through the large knowledge base here. Just wondering if anyone thinks its remotely possible.
Broke my Tmobile phone, have access to a Boost mobile model, but want the wifi-calling feature on the Tmobile (who is my carrier).
Thanks everyone

I didn'the understand any thing except for the first two questions
So yes it will work but you need to root your device and to install Twrp
Im rooted and have twrp. Have flashed different verions of J700P firmware on the phone. Hadn't tried J700T as of yet. From what i can tell phones have same processors, etc. I will give it a try. Thanks
I purchased the Galaxy s7 Unlocked USA (SM-g930u with AT&T). I quickly found out that the bootloader is locked down and you cannot do very much with it. I did root it, but didn't like it much. My girlfriend has a Galaxy s7 (SM-g930p with Virgin Mobile). She said she would swap me phones so i would be able to customize the device. Does anybody know if this is possible? I've read a couple of posts about swapping firmware, not sure if that is a route, since my bootloader is locked. I bought my sm-g930u 5 days ago from best buy so I can still return it if there is no way to swap phones, or numbers or anything.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish? All USA models have a locked bootloader, so even with the 930P you're still on a locked bootloader with just root access like your 930U.
You can use Odin to flash stock US firmwares from different providers, but nothing custom.

Wait, so there are no USA Galaxy s7's that you can add custom recoveries and roms to? I thought I read on a forum that there were custom roms and recoveries for certain s7's.

Correct, all US models are Snapdragon 820 SoC's with locked bootloaders, because only Qualcomm has the modem tech for US telephony networks.
There is the international model which has a thriving ROM and recovery development community, because they use Samsung's exynos CPU with an unlocked bootloader and not the Snapdragon.
There is also a Hong Kong snapdragon variant which they have gotten TWRP onto, but afaik no custom ROM support.
You can use the international model in America, but your ability to get mobile data may be spotty depending on what bands your provider offers and if exynos has them.
For reference here's the R&D thread for trying to unlock the US variants: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/discussion-unlock-bootloader-rd-t3582800
And here's the development forum for US variants (no ROMS, just root): https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...nels-recoveries--other-development-snapdragon

Yep, all US snapdragon S7s are bootloader locked, there is root but that's about it, no custom ROMs / Recovery, you need international S7 for that (G930F etc) with Exynos CPU

I wont get into the method their are many guides on carrier switching firmwares. But yes you could flash T mobiles firmware of equal bootloader To have Tmobiles apps.
I dont know about Verizons model They had mentioned that they where going to start Sim locking phones,As a precautionary security against theft Yea
But make sure your Device is sim unlocked first as flashing carrier firmware will not unlock
