TMO S7 Edge Root/Roms? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

Wondering if there's root and Rom options for the T-Mobile S7 Edge. Had to surrender my Note7 so I picked up this bad boy. Great device but I'd like to root and flash something a little lighter and faster. Any response is greatly appreciated!

I would check the tmo forums, just a guess though

I did and only one listed in all of the carrier forums/threads which I find really odd.

Will the phone work in another country? What about the suggested updates?

I mean 'software' updates in the title, not suggested.
I have the S7 edge from Tmobile, the 935T variant.
Does anyone know for sure if this will work in other countries, like in Asia, after I get it unlocked by T-Mobile. Also, since T-Mobile sends the software updates, will I still get them and will there be any problems because of that?

I'm using my T-Mobile LG g3 right now in the Philippines and have no problems. I cant see why the s7 would be any different.

Do you receive the software updates while you're there?

Can it be rooted?

So i have a T-Mobile 7E, g935T i was wondering, can it be rooted? or have i passed the point of no return
Not yet and I won't keep my hope that high. If u really REALLY need root, best suggestion would be to get the HTC 10 seeing that u r in T-Mobile or get the one plus 3

Don't allow any updates if you haven't done so already. You might take a look at the international versions - users here for the most part are pretty happy with them.

New software update came out today for Note 3 Sprint. I think it's PH1. I can't get i

I think it's PH1. I can't get it on my N3 as it's rooted, but my wife's N3 got it. We were both on OK2 before today.

Did we lose all the steam we had?

Now that the Note 7 has launched, have all Devs given up working on the S7/S7E? Or is it just that we're at a standstill with no progress because its impossible?
The locked bootloader killed this phone. When I got it, I convinced myself that I no longer needed custom roms...I was wrong! My enthusiasm for this phone has died, something that didn't happen with the LG G3 it replaced right up to the moment I handed it to my son. The S7E is fine, but I regret its purchase every day. I probably should move on now, but I'm not sure which direction to take. I'm certainly done with Samsung and most likely Sprint. If I wanted boring, I could have joined the zombie herd and bought an iPhone.

Yea i feel u guys, I bought a nexus 6p and I love it. I still have my S7 edge but haven't touched it for about a month straight so I may as well sell it on Craigslist.
Are there no ROMS or development on the sprint gs7 edge?

Won't work on Sprint. A couple guys got it to work by flashing tmobile firmware via Odin only to discover that they can't roll back to Sprint firmware nor downgrade tmobile

Not only did Samsung shoot themselves in the foot with the explosive note 7's but the s7 edge is amazing hardware crippled by a locked bootloader and no dev support. Samsung phones are more and more tougher to crack. While I'll never in life use an iPhone again, I'm hoping the new Nexus at least supports sprints ****ty Network and or maybe sprint will carry it.

You can still root and modify. I have my phone pretty much like I want it. The only thing that I'm really missing is 3minit battery. You have to be deodexed in order for it to work

If it is like when I went from Sprint to T-mobile with my S8+, I used ODIN to load the T-mobile version of the software instead of Sprint. Imagine both Verizon and T-mobile use the same exact phone, but different software versions. Verizon is CDMA and T-mobile is GSM so unless the phone has both, it wouldn't work - but in your case it should work

Do I need to go and personally ad the t-mobile's access point names or should it automatically update to the correct ones once I install the t-mobile sim card.because after I install the t-mobile sim card it says on the bottom of the screen to call Verizon.I don't know how to get it to work on t-mobiles network. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I didn't have to do anything when I loaded the tmobile version, it was part of the build.
