Snapdragon, yes. Unlocked? Not sure. I'd be willing to give it a shot and flash it if I feel brave one of these nights lol
unlocked bootloader? or carrier unlocked?

Carrier unlocked could possibly be useful. It was for pretty nice for the s7edge.
Hi, I came from S4 and teted several Roms. Can I unlock the S7 so easy too?
Unlock what? Carrier, bootloader, or root?
I want to install custom rom CM15 or similar. On my S4 I had TWRP. How can I install it on S7?
Which version of the s7 do you have? I think the Verizon and AT&T versions have a locked bootloader.
Not just Verizon and AT&T, all US models. Sprint, carrier unlocked, etc.

Thank you for the information. So only Exynos versions have unlocked bootloaders?
I believe there's a chinese snapdragon variant that is the only exception, otherwise yes just Exynos.

you wouldn't have bootloader unlock and therefore no root, you posted this in the wrong section BTW.

currently one service can't unlock the newer firmwares and the other is on hiatus, maybe for the same reason.

I had to return my Canadian edition, locked bootloader.
I ended up having to buy the international model with OEM Unlock which Canadian does not.

Hello friends,
Recently I moved to Canada, I have the international model, G781B, I was wondering if it is possible to flash the canadian variant. Reason: 5G didnt work so far, tryied everything to make it work, even manually configuration of Bell network.
Comparing at the gsmarena.com, the hardware looks like the same.
I'm almost giving up and buying a new phone.

Most likely your carries uses mmwave 5g network, and international S20 FE 5g uses the other spectrums for 5g. There is no way a software flfash can change anyting, and I do not think that you can even flash software for thw wrong phone model, as odin check the BL version prior to flashing
So I purchased a S22 Ultra directly from Samsung not carrier unlocked or carrier version. Is it true US version are not able to unlocked bootloaders to root and rom?
