[Firmware] G935UUEU4API3 Odin Files & Modded Odin

I know there's another thread for this but it's an absolute cluster F*** to make heads or tails of. I wanted to simplify things.
Simply download files, download modded Odin and put files in proper slots in Odin.
This is will give you stock U firmware with the latest PK1 modem. Root isn't what it used to be so I don't bother with it, please don't ask me for root files and instructions of this firmware.

Here's the modded Odin that I used. This is from the root thread and never once failed to flash anything on any device I've thrown at it: http://d-h.st/gsDA

Thank you for simplifying this process.

You're welcome. I'm here to help.... The other thread was too much of a mess!

Thanks joe3681, for all of your efforts.
Where online can I find a list of updates or a version history for the Samsung S7 Edge (T-mobile)?

so this will work with the latest update from November? and also what are the benefits of U firmware? I haven't been able to find any good info anywhere. i have rooted and flashed before lol i just haven't been in the game for a while

U firmware seems smoother, it's bloat free. Only real downside is no advanced messaging.

No, the U firmware is still the September security patch level. It's so much smoother/faster though. Especially rooted.

Thank you so much, this was obviously 100x easier to follow than the other thread.

Not so sure about that.. Seems laggy still compared to stock and gets hot easier even after cpu fixes

I followed the O.P. in the post root issues thread, doing nothing more and nothing less than what they said to do. No lag, normal temperature.

Thank you
OP thank you for the easy to follow instructions. I just bought my SM-G935T from ebay. I noticed some lag with the S7 Edge and of course all the Samsung and T-Mobile bloatware.
I flashed all of the files then did a system cache wipe. I have not noticed lag so far and now have 20 GB of the 32 GB free.
One question though. Where will the phone check for updates? Will it get updates from Samsung or T-Mobile?

TWRP help
.
I just got my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy 7 Edge and have been doing a lot of reading here on XDA about this device. I have had all the galaxy's since Galaxy II.
I have rooted / custom recovery / custom ROM all of them. I know there basically is not much out yet as far as ROMS go for the S7e, but I would like to instal
TWRP and root the phone. I can not seem to get a straight answer as to how to do this exactly. Each "How-To" that I run into are a little bit different and scares
me a bit. If you could help me with any answers or links to my question(s) I would sure appreciate it.
1) I would like to odin into the phone the latest TWRP but I am not 100% sure which file to flash.
2) I would like to ROOT the phone if it is fairly safe at this point in development, but again I have heard of at least 2 different methods to do this.
3) Please advise on which file to use and/or method. My phone DOES connect up with my PC just fine via USB and I have ADB working also.​

Spend more time reading around the forums before you try anything, but to answer your questions:
1) TWRP not possible on TMobile S7/S7E
2) Root is possible, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/how-to-root-s7-edge-t3410470

@fl_gator_dad, it will check with Samsung. Mind you they dont update this as often as carrier versions release their incremental updates

Hello,
thank you for replying. I have been using TWRP on my past 6 phones. Is there some reason why
it wont work on this one ? I did a little more reading and found this

Also ... if TWRP isn't working then what custom recovery are you and all using ? Clockwork ...?

Well if you continue searching and reading some more, you will see that twrp only works on non locked bootloaders. Any carrier driven Samsung device has a locked bootloader and twrp will not work. We have the snapdragon and not the exynos. If you need to have twrp then you need to get an S7 edge Exynos version. There is no working custom recovery for the snapdragon version phones as of yet.

Thank you. That is a shame. I would think, incorrectly, that the unlocked GS7 firmware would be the baseline to build the carrier firmware.

Yeah, you'd think! The international is the one that gets everything first.
The unlocked firmware favors T-Mobile though offering T-Mobile customers features that other users don't get.

Nope. It is highly unlikely that a custom kernel or even rom to be made for this device as no one is developing anything on it. The device has reached end of life considering it is a budget device after all.

No problem and i am aware since she helped make sampwned32 for the sm-j327t and sm-j327t1 I found the root method that was used on the s8 variant with a locked bootloader and brought it up and even tested the root method on the device and it worked. But a month later samsung released a new update that patched it. If it wasn't for ashyx converting the files from ARM64 to ARM this method would have never worked. Also after samsung patched the root method they only released one more security update and ended up cancelling the android oreo update for metropcs and tmobile after we was told our device would get it. Oh boy i was pretty pissed. Like come on samsung you could atleast unlock the device's bootloader and allow us to make our own custom roms which would be alot better and would be oreo based. It is sad how samsung forgot about us and didn't even bother to release a new phone to the metropcs and tmobile market in the budget area. The mid range J7 Prime got more love than this device did fr.

How do I root a Samsung Galaxy S7 Verizon (SM-G930V) Android Oreo 8.0?

How do I do it

I got the same exact one 3 days ago. It's on 8.0.0 now. I have been reading a lot to find answers how to root or install twrp. It looks like there is not a straight forward answer. Just development guides that are not so clear on if there is are for sure way to root or unlock bootloader.
Everything looks to lead me to the same answer. Snapdragon us variants like ours are bootloader blocked so no twrp. Can we use safestrap? What can we do to root and install custom? Even if it's it's a touchwiz. I have an s4 I'm also playing with. I wish my s7 could do what the the s4 does. But samsung us trying to let carriers like Verizon block our bootloaders Hendering our abilities to use the phones like we want. It sucks.
I hope for a method soon myself. I hope that someone can steer us the right way.

You echo my Frustrations. It feels good not to be the only one thinking these things. I think the reason there aren't any straightforward answers is because people are afraid of being sued. Why stop there? It begins with the owner of the phone who wants to root in the first place. They should sue themselves.
it doesn't seem logical to me. If I'm driving and, God forbid, I kill someone with my car do the people that taught me to drive get sued? it isn't an exactly perfect Analogy, but it's enough to start discussion, anywhere but here on this thread. LOL
Another thing is that phones are already very customized in that there are so many of them and they all function so differently even with the same ROM on a different provider Network does different things. it's probably difficult to give you the exact perfect set of instructions for your specific phone. Therefore knowing about Android and Linux and stuff is very helpful for filling in the gaps I will inevitably have. I have no such training and the times I have delved into it I"ve become completely lost.
A rudimentary understanding I do have. So I choose settings with the mindset of increasing the device lifespan, but nothing monumental.

The Qualcomm variants (your phone) are a little more difficult to root and there are several guides online how to do it but you have to make sure the guide says it is to root RK2 firmware on Oreo. RK2 has the December security patch i believe so there may not be a specific guide for that firmware yet but you can try and earlier guide which still works on your device after the December security patch.
This is to root G930V on Nougat from Jan 9 this year, it may work on Oreo too https://www.skyneel.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s7-verizon-sm-g930v-twrp-recovery
You could of course flash G930U firmware too which is unbranded USA and is known to work on Verizon devices. Sammobile XAA and USC. There is a modified version of Odin 13 to flash Verizon phones.

Yet I see all the posts on the note 8 and the s5series with locked bootloaders and root weather it be samfail for the note or sampwnd on the s5 and why not with the j3 series? Is it because it's a cheap ass phone and the dev's dont want to waste time to try? I see more j3 and j7 phones flooding the market than the higher end phones so what gives?

Those devices had engineering firmware available the J327a does not.
However you may get lucky and be able to the flash the engineering firmware available for the J327T as these devices have the same specs.

am I correct to assume that a network unlocked , carrier unlocked device also has no known unlock method?

The U1 variant might might have a bootloader unlock setting in Developer Options. Maybe someone here can verify, as I have the UW variant. Some things I have read listed the U1 variant as populating that setting like the S20 and Note20 devices. Unfortunately, my UW has not. Next issue though is getting TWRP built for the A71 though.

U1 user here; can confirm that there is not a dev setting for OEM unlock. Now I remember why I avoided Samsung phones for so long...

I will provide $300 to any bounty for an AT&T unlock/root. I'm a new user but will happily provide any type of proof to staff if they want.

ill provide a bounty of $10, it all adds up if there is enough support.

I'll add $40 to the bounty, if anyone happens to wind up with anything promising. I knew I shouldn't have went with Samsung again, but the A71 5G was a damn good phone for $300, imho.

I have $200 for anyone who can provide the unlock or just a general unlock for all US Carriers... Like the other person said, it all adds up

I have unlocked A71 5G A716U device today, so unlock bootloader confirmed.
