Rooting PJ2 and Switching to T-Mobile - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

Currently have a SM-G930P, 6.0.1 October 1, 2016 patch, baseband G930PVPS4APJ2. Is this version rootable?
My ultimate goal is to root and then flash a T-Mobile based rom (SM-G930T) since I use T-Mobile with this phone.
Anyone know if this is possible and have any tips?

No, its not rootable

I also would love to flash a T-Mobile rom

when I had a T-Mobil gs7e I flashed an att rom and bricked it.
recovery impossible.

If your phone is unlocked from Sprint you can Odin the 935U firmware and use a Tmobile sim. That firmware also unlocks all the lte bands for Tmobile. I am using it now. Make sure after you Odin you have the Tmobile sim in the phone if the Sprint sim is in it will lock again.

Does this have Wifi Hotspot setting? I flashed Canadian unlocked ROM on an unlocked Sprint S8+ plus but Hotspot setting is gone now.

yep. It goes to the CSC settings of your service provider.
Yall Be Aware that the link provided is for the G955U and not the 950 so I would be careful

Home csc won't erase downloaded files when used in Odin. While csc will.make you set up your phone like its new again.

Full Odin N950USQU1AQH7 restore files for //N950U - ATT\\ with userdata. - Live

Link remove

This is new odin version and not comsy right? Comsy is only for unlocked firmware, is that correct?
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
Needs at least ODIN 3.12.10 to flash
So does this just restore back to Full AT&T with all the bloat crap -- or is it without ATT bloat?
I assume VoLTE and WiFi Calling work ??

Google is best search engine. If you type in in Google search " Download Odin 3.12.10" you will get results in mater on seconds.
I don't think there is odin 3.12.10, last one official is 3.12.7 and is here : https://thedroidguru.com/download-latest-odin-odin3-all-versions-full-collection/

Just following up on this request. I purchased international unlocked both sim and bootloader.
Right now my ATT sim works in my SM-950F/DS. But I think its not getting 4GLTE.
I'm hoping for a CSC flash for this international version, but if a stock ATT flash will work as well, then I'll do that.
Yes hoping to keep dual-sim capability with GoogleFI.

If you get other carrier files when flashing a different carrier version...you can follow the switching carrier guide in the main guide section to ensure ATT code...

I have the N950N (korean) model. I want to use the carrier firmware on my phone but I'm worried doing so will irreversibly lock my bootloader.

Firmware for SM-G950UZKAAIO

Wondering if anyone knows where i can find the firmware for SM-G950UZKAAIO, by cricket. I tried rooting it but i couldn't.
Just flash the unlocked firmware. Then flash the att user data and you'll be on the unlocked firmware. Granted you won't have root tho unless you root that way then. I have the cricket s8 with the unlocked(att user data). I just haven't rooted yet.

Verizon?
Do you know, if I unlock the cricket variant, would I be able to load Verizon user data and activate it on Verizon?
Just wondering since it's got the sm-g950u in model number and u is the unlocked version.
Thanks

Unable to downgrade from U1 unlocked to ATT U firmware

I currently have the U1 unlocked firmware flashed and am trying to flash it back to the original U firmware because of the new bootloader issue. I am receiving an Odin fail error all the time with different USB ports and computers. Is there something I did wrong? Also, I purchased this as a G950U device. I recently got it unlocked through ATT so does that mean it is now a G950U1 device?
The G950U is the unlocked version, so why did you have to unlock it through AT&T?
It should've worked straight off the bat.
This is the U version (For USA, unlocked version) https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s8-8161.php#g950u
And the AT&T version is the G950A.
Ross is confused.
I had this once when PrinceComsy Odin wouldn't work. Use this Odin, it worked when nothing else would, IDK why

Is the bootloader version on the firmware you're trying to flash the same as the one that's on there now? You can't downgrade bootloader versions.

I'm honestly not sure. The firmware was the original stock ATT version and I was running the latest Nougat update. I switched the CSC code back to ATT from AIO this morning using the main guide here, but I am now stuck on that Factory Binary screen. Is there a firmware for v2 bootloader for ATT out there?

Figured it out, I have v2 bootloader software and the unlocked software I am using is v1. Could someone please give me a link to v2 unlocked firmware? I'm honestly drained at this point and I'll just not do any OTAs from this point on.

Hey joe thanks for this! I figured I'd give it a shot to flash back to unroot and it worked! I also checked my warranty in the download mode and it's still at 0x0 and I'm still able to use Samsung Pay/Secure Folder so I didn't even trip Knox.
