Greetings My Brothers. I have a huge Problem. Sometimes ago I got a Samsung Galaxy S7 Verizon Model, thought it will be cool to have such a model, just come to think of it; Snapdragon 820 what else did I wanted again. And the phone started running Berserk. apps downloaded and installed from PlayStore don't work at all even WhatsApp does work properly. The phones freezes all the Time, it overheats all the time. So I made a decision. root, install custom recovery and install Custom Rom like lineage OS. I'm accustom to those stuffs like Odin, download mode, etc. I don't have any problem with a phone stock on boot loop, it's something I have been fixing, so I'm Used to It. My SM-G930V security level is High with its latest android version Oreo, the bootloader is locked. tried to unlock it with ADB and Command Prompt. It was a failure. tried to get some help On YouTube. Failed, all the videos I watched was about SM-G930F none of them talked about SM-G930V, I came across SM-G930V bootloader Unlocking, rooting and custom Rom but, it wasn't compatible with my SM-G930V. So let Me ask You Guys this question. Can I really unlock the bootloader, root the phone and Install a custom recovery, and A custom Rom??? If there is a slight chance or possibility of doing so, please Brothers help me out, because I am unable to use the phone to its full potential. Thanks. Michael.

As title said I have the flat SM-G930U because I love being able to switch provider, and so far I'm ok with the phone, but I really do miss my root. I was ecstatic when I saw that root was achieved and bought my unlocked S7 off swappa.
Long story short, every time I try to install the flat G930A eng-boot tar to my G930U through the modded Odin, the phone "WILL" force restart itself soon after booting into the main screen, or even when I leave the screen off. This process is reproducible every time from a stock restored G930U image.
So far I've had to resort to restoring to a stock image to fix the problem so I cannot get to the rooting part yet. Is there any other better method out there? I hate to have to back up and restore my data through cumbersome means like Samsung Switch or Helium.
If you have this G930U model as well, can you share your experience with the rooting process, and/or the experience with the phone so far with root installed?

I think that nobody has yet rooted it, since it just recently came out. The reason why it doesn't work for you, is that the engboot is meant for another model. You'll just have to wait, until the engboot is also released for your model.
I have the exact same problem. SM-G930U reboot loop after loading the engboot. I would love to root this phone if someone can release or locate a compatible bootloader!
Actually, it has been almost a year now. Surely a bootloader for this device is available now? I cannot find it though.

Cool, did not catch that.
Well, this is my story. I tried to revive my old Verizon SIII because I really like that model. The problem is I never noticed the 4.4 bootloader lock. I rooted my device after a factory reset, I tried to install the cyanogenmod but at the start the custon recovery wont trigger despite installing the adequate app, first I believed KNOX was the issue so I proceeded to unistall it with TitanimBackup, that made the "custom" Samsung boot screen appear but then a "Unauthorized sofware blah blah blah" message from Verizon appeared so I used download mode to reboot sucessfully, then I remembered that the bootloader wasnt unlocked so I proceeded to unlocked with EZunlocker and the unlock was successful, when the TWRP manager app asked me to reboot to install the custom recovery it never did, just bricked. My questions are, my phone was already running a form of custom rom for region-free SIM card operation, as far I know the device was NOT on 4.4 since it wasn't even on the US anymore and Verizon update services don't operate here, as I remember my sytem version was 4.0.4 why did it bricked? if I buy another device what I must check to avoid another bricking? Is there any way to recover my device? it is a hard brick, noob here.
I have been trying for about a month to root and atleast boot this SM-G920V to a rom I dont even care if it's rooted but anytime i try to follow a youtube video exactly it still ends up failing i have used adb to boot to bootloader then turned off phone booted into download mode to bypass the secure download but it still says SECURE CHECK FAIL : (RECOVERY) I don't quite understand why Verizon just has to be so difficult but this may be a dumb question is there anyway to actually switch the model of this phone without just changing that file that displays it to thus switch it to a root compatible version or will changing that actually make the phone compatible I don't know if anyone has any tips as to booting this verizon galaxy s6 nougat 7 to a custom rom or even rooting though I was told that the verizon models are incompatible for unlocking bootloader but I know theres ways of booting to roms without unlocking bootloader though you need root is there anyone that doesnt need root or unlocking bootloader I have also tryed the old ping pong method and that still failed. please let me know if you have any knowledge of any of this thank you in advance
No way for custom rom.
Flash the latest official, install Package Disabler app and get rid of the bloatware.
Then enjoy the phone.
i have been searching for hours and trying different methods and none seem to be working..
i am trying to root a samsung s6 g920i. it is updated to android 7.0
i have dev options enabled, debugging. the one thing i do not see on the device is OEM unlocking option.
so far ive tried odin3, i selected the cfar_samsung_sm-g920i_zerofltedv_nrd90m.g920idvs4frc9_t0 file, and it shows me successful messages in the odin3 results. but on the device it restarts real quick. once it restarts, its like nothing happened. the device is still rooted and there is no super user app.
ive followed numerous videos and threads all over and cant seem to get this device rooted.
is the oem unlocking option not showing up my issue? also, i noticed when the odin was doing its thing and the phone was restarting, there was a msg showing on the top left that stated "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" then the phone would restart.
any help here would be appreciated. it also looks like all of my samsung devices do not have the oem unlocking option under developer area (3 devices) so i am not sure what happened or what am i suppose to do.
Long Shot, but .....
Similar issues with a G9200 (Hong Kong version, dual SIM). You COULD try downloading Samsung's CROM.APK from the Play Store and see if you can unlock the bootloader that way. Are you by chance running recent Nougat on the device? My suspicion is that the Nougat kernel has been tweaked to disable the known rooting / custom recovery approaches. Areal pain in the butt. My next step with the 9200 is to see if erasing the NAND via Odin will allow me to flash an older MM build (I don't care about the data) root it, TWRP it, and put a decent ROM in place of stock.
So my sister gave me her S7 after my Sony Xperia XA2 refused to read my new Verizon service. So I flashed the Verizon firmware since it was on AT&T's firmware (which disables the bands for Verizon) and it's awesome. Super snappy, super quick, good 4K video camera, the works.
The only problem is that the battery is draining faster than my iPhone 6, and this is just with responding to texts while I'm at work. Like today, I worked 5 hours and it went from 100% to 32%.
I read that there is a firmware I can flash with Odin that will greatly help the battery, but I'm not sure what it is. I really dont want to brick this phone.
My S7 is not rooted btw.

First off you it's a US S7 which means the bootloader is locked which means you can't flash Twrp (Custom Recovery) which means you can't flash a custom rom or obtain root threw recovery what you could do is see about rooting it first i believe the root for the US S7 is threw a modified boot image that is patched threw Odin you would have to researcher that first after you obtained root then you have 2 options debloat the phone yourself which I wouldn't suggest cause if you remove something vital to the phone it will soft brick and you have no custom recovery to revert to a working image of your phone and you going to have to flash a stock firmware in Odin to fix it second whkch I do recommend is see if there are any roms for your model of phone that are flash fire flashable that you can flash again the process with this is one error and you will have to start the process all over again.... If you going to debloat after you obtain root just remove Samsung apps and Verizon bloatware and you should see a speed and battery increase just off of that alone... If your bold you flash xposed threw flashfire and open up your options even more.... Flash the wrong xposed and you Wil soft brick and have to start over again.... Some Samsung phones can take the official xposed for your sdk or need the alternative xposed for Samsung to work properly don't know which one yours fall under.... Good luck [emoji1696]
