US models are snapdragon with a locked bootloader, so you can't modify it.
International model can have the bootloader unlocked and modified.

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'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.
Title says all.
Thanks.
Custom ROM no, since the bootloader is locked you can't flash a custom recovery or modify the boot.img which is required for ROMs.
Root is possible but a bit different for US models devices, you might need to check the US Snapdragon specific subforums as this is mostly Exynos (international)

oh is it possible to unlock the bootloader? i also have the G930U, which model has support for custom ROM, just got it new so I can refund it if needed and swap for a different phone
It's not possible to unlock the bootloader on any US model (e.g. G930V/U/T/A/P). The G930U may be carrier unlocked, but the bootloader is still locked.
If you want ROM support you'll need a G930F/FD (international) or the G930W8 (Canada)

g930 fd is non carrier phone i believe and has no doing with a carrier so no bootlock i presume can you shed some light ty
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.
