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
make sure to read the entire thread and note the issues you may run into

@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

Support Status: Current
Maintainer: jcadduono
Code Name: hero2lte
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.

Yup flashed it to my cousin's mobile which was G550FY(non-pro) model. Did a factory reset and it works flawlessly. No issues at all everything works including Volte. Infact its much better than before!

Yes, I have tried that ROM & its Odin flashable
Can i flash this on the SM-S550TL?
Has anyone tried this on the SM-G550T1 model?
Will someone reupload the file for a better download link? Sammobile takes way to long
Really, the SM-G550T1/2 really needs Nougat at this point since it is only limited to the India model... I really like the new UI elements. Sad.
Or if someone is really good enough to make a Android Oreo Go edition custom ROM (since it really helps on storage) or a Lineage OS custom ROM. I wish i can make one but I'm not good at making ROM's.:crying:
Edit: I was thinking of installing that same rom OP described. Will it work for my T1? Someone needs to test this before i can proceed. Problem is i don't know if it will brick my phone because it was made for Indian devices running that version.
The current device i have is as follows:
Galaxy On5 SM-G550T1 (T-Mobile)
Currently on 6.0.1
Rooted with Magisk
OEM Unlock set to ON
TWRP
I dont know also, but do i need to have my phone network "unlocked" to switch official samsung roms? I prefer sticking to T-Mobile...
Edit #2: Tried installing that firmware file, it wont let me because of a locked bootloader. I used Odin (latest) but all i get is a "SECURE CHECK FAIL: (BOOTLOADER)" error.
^tl;dr, it wont install on a US variant.

Don't try, that's for a specific region.
I was sure there were guides on how to update official OOS rom when unlocked and rooted but I can't seem to find a thread anywhere.
Does anyone know if there are steps needed when upgrading using OTAs or another route using maybe fastboot to upgrade the stock rom?

My phone currently is on Android 13 firmware, trying to flash a custom rom of Android 13 just that im not sure which custom rom is compatible hmm
I noticed that the Galaxy A12 Nacho (SM-A127F) uses the same CPU as the Galaxy M12 (SM-M127F) and in addition both have very similar specifications, however the Galaxy A12 uses the normal One UI. Is it possible to use One UI from Galaxy A12 Nacho on Galaxy M12?

Should also work on GSIs, but sometimes it might not work, and you need to install a special .apk called ims.apk for it to work.

Better to use an AOSP ROM though, it is fully optimized for the device, although GSI increases how many ROMs you can use.

Also, what GSI do you want to flash? I can recommend the LineageOS 20 and Pixel Experience GSI. I helped my friend yesterday to install a LineageOS 20 GSI on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G. It all worked, except the mobile data, as it could not connect to mobile data (but find the SIM and detect the provider). Switched to a Pixel Experience GSI, and all was fixed. But this does not say that you also have that issue, it is a completely different device .

I did not test it on my devices. I helped a friend to install it on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G, although I do have an SM-T290 (Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2019)) which is rooted and has a LineageOS 20 AOSP ROM.
I did try to install a LineageOS 20 GSI on my SM-T290 while it was not available yet with TWRP, but somehow it bootlooped. Then I switched back to stock and later I found out that there was an AOSP ROM, which works very good now!

Yes, although LineageOS also looks much like stock.
Installing custom things works the same on every Samsung device, not the files though. But most steps are the same. I still don't know why my tablet was bootlooping while flashing the GSI, I had wiped the data partition and also the system partition I think. I'm not sure whether I did format them. I wish we could dual-boot on those devices. I know there is MultiROM, but that is only for a few older devices.
