Unfortunately, Cricket has apparently decided that our phone isn't worth an update. However, with a little knowledge, you can get it up and working in no time.
Thanks to @nightbreed813 for the original debloated MM ROM. Thanks also to @noaone for his tips. Without them, I'd still be on Lollipop.

Prerequisites:
You MUST have a custom recovery (preferably TWRP) installed. No ifs, ands or buts. If you don't currently meet this requirement, see this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-626/help/complete-detailed-step-step-root-t3217505
Easy method:
Download the modified zip from this post
Copy it to your device's internal storage
BACKUP YOUR CURRENT DATA. This should work, but you don't want to be caught off-guard. DO IT!
Remove the SIM card. Keep it removed until you have completed the setup process. Replacing it before then will screw Android up, and you'll have to reflash.
Wipe System, Data, DALVIK & Cache
Flash the file you downloaded from this post.
Reboot your phone and wait for it to start the setup process.
Bypassed hands-free activation. Tap 'Done' in Self Service and accept that there wasn't a network to register to.
You can reinsert your SD Card at this point. Cricket will now set the network up for you.
.
You should be done now. Enjoy Marshmallow.
Manual method (Long):
Download a zip from nightbreed813's post.
Open the zip (preferably with Windows File Explorer), and, without extracting, navigate to \META-INF\com\google\android\
Open updater-script with a text editor, preferably Notepad++
Change the first 2 lines to
HTML:
#ASSERT
unmount("/system");
, replacing what's there.
Save, and let Windows recompile the zip
This zip should now flash on your phone. Follow the Easy Method instructions (excluding step 1) to install.

Hi, thank you for providing the instuctions. I flashed the rom to my 626. Unfortunately I'm not able to connect to LTE on GSM band. I guess this is because it is a Sprint Rom that's designed for CDMA network technology ?

I see no reason why it shouldn't; Cricket is on AT&T's network. Still, make a TWRP backup just in case it doesn't work out, for whatever reason.

No, as long as you have a 626s on Cricket, it should work. (Besides, I think Cricket is running on CDMA anyhow, though I might be mistaken.)

It's actually a 625 from Cricket that I'm using but it's considered to be the same as the 626. Cricket is using ATT's GSM network. I really hope I can enable LTE connectivity.

Well, that's probably what your problem is. After following the instruction outlined in the post (on my HTC Desire 626s), I've not encountered this. If everything else is the same beyond that, it's the only option.
PLEASE check that you've followed the instructions perfectly, especially steps 4 &8.
If you're 100% sure that you have, it may just be that the 625 on Cricket is somehow incompatible here.
At any rate, I can only help with what I have, and I have a 626s. If the exact same methods that work with my 626s aren't working on your 625, I can't do too much. Sorry...
If I can help anyway otherwise, let me know.

I used a Cricket 625 with the 626 ROM. Worked fine with the AT&T (StraightTalk) SIM.
A word of caution: this phone has very little room for much of anything. The stock ROM completely fills up the phone after all of the updates download (under Lollipop). This ROM gives you a bit of extra room, but not much.
I'm very happy with my no-ad Moto G5+ from Amazon. At $219, it's an incredible value. The bootloader is unlockable, and it's fairly "current" with nougat on the phone. Oreo is already in the pipe, and you can always switch to more custom ROMs after the Oreo updates quit coming.
With all of security issues plaguing phone users, old phones that can't keep reasonably current need to gracefully fade away.

Exactly the reason why I would like to run Android 6 on this phone so I can use adoptive storage
I also have trouble opening the APN settings after flashing this rom. Most of the times the phone shows me this "Select your carrier" screen. When I select my carrier (Telfort), internet works but after a reboot I have to choose my APN again. Anyone knows how to get rid of these preset apn settings ? (I tried these instructions for editing the build.prop to get full access to the APN settings. All suggestions are welcome, thank in advance !
I think I used a ROM called "AdvancedStock626_V5.zip". It's a bare-bones ROM, and I was able to manually set the APN.
You have unlocked your phone, right?

Yes, the phone 's bootloader is unlocked. I assume you mean this rom:
Is that Lollipop or Marshmallow ?

Whoops! I was wrong on which I flashed. My apologies....
I couldn't get the Advanced stock to "recover" with TWRP. Instead, I installed the debloated Sprint_Stock_MMDB from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/de...-flashable-stock-htc-626s-debloated-t3293602/
I had LTE, or at least I thought I did. Everything seemed to work with my StraightTalk (AT&T) SIM.
Maybe this Sprint Rom doesn't support European LTE frequencie, I bought this 625 phone from Cricket last year when I was in the States. I see that I'm 3.5G now which is fine by me. One thing that concerns me is that the data roaming icon is greyed out. I'm flying to another EU country next week, does this mean I don't have internet abroad? I modified ro.com.android.dataroaming=false in build.prop into true, still can't select data roaming. Anyone know how to fix this ? Appreciate all the help!

Good afternoon. First, thanks to all the developers for all of the work that they do. I really appreciate it. On to my questions:
Using the unlock guide, I'm now using my Spring S4 with a Straight Talk At&t Sim card. I flashed the JFLTE GPE Rom back in February, if I'm not mistaken. I have even updated the ROM, using the OTA updater. Lately I was getting very choppy playback with any music player and I kept having a recurring issue with my network. I would have a pop up asking to sign into the At&t network. This only started happening with the latest update. But since I had this ROM for a while, I figured I'd try something else. I flashed the latest GAMER 5.1 ROM, specifically for the Sprint S4 (L720) and didn't get any network service at all. I thought I lost my unlock. So I flashed back to GPE got my service back. I was under the impression that I could flash any ROM because my phone was unlocked. My first question is, with my unlocked Sprint S4 using a Straight Talk At&t sim card, what ROMS can I flash and keep my unlock? I tried to flash a At&t ROM, but the flash fails and states that the ROM is only for JFLTEATT and that I have JFLTESPR.
Would this happen if I was trying to go to Lollipop 5.1.x from 5.0x? Do I need to stick with only Sprint ROMS?
Also after all this, when I went back to GPE, I can no longer send any texts. I have tried all of the Straight Talk APNs, but keep getting At&t error code 96 when attempting to send a message. Any ideas on what could be causing this issue?
This has been going on for about 4 days now. It's been that long because I have been reading and reading, trying to see what I did wrong, or what I need to do to fix it. Please help. If anyone wants to help, but needs more info, please ask and I will get back to you asap.
Have your tried a non-AOSP ROM? The stock ROM?

I have not tried either option. I didn't want to try an option (stock) that might take away the unlock because right now I'm limited to using my work laptop and cannot use anything that will need "administrator" privileges. I can't even run Odin without the system blocking it. I will try a non AOSP Rom when I get home tonight. Thanks for your help and I will get back with you.
Hey, I have updated the ROM to CM12 and go into the Phone Info menu (*#*#4636#*#*) and I see where it says LTE/CDMA and I can change it to LTE/WCDMA, which is what it was in the unlock sequence. It will show the service switch over to At&t (Straight Talk At&t sim) and even show my number. However this doesn't stick and it reverts back to LTE/CDMA showing the provider as Sprint. Is there a way to make it stick? What is causing this? Its as if it knows it's unlocked but can't hold onto it.....I will try a non AOSP ROM as soon as I can get to my laptop . May I ask why you think that would work? I'm not doubting you, I'm just asking because I'm curious and really wanna know what would be different.

AOSP ROMs are notorious for data problems. Touchwiz is what was made specifically for your phone, everything just works. I'm just saying that will be an easy way to see if the ROMs you are using are the problem. There are custom Touchwiz ROMs that pack a lot more punch than ugly old stock.... like mine- Wicked X

Ha! I swear I was just looking at your thread for your ROM. The exact same one! I noticed that tag/picture and was thinking, is that the guy who has been helping me? Maybe I should try that one. I'm dl'ing now. Thanks. I think I found out the problem or at least some type of solution., even though I still can't seem to send any messages. In the Mobile Network option, I changed the Preferred network type to Global. Then in that same Phone Menu option, the LTE/WCDMA option actually stuck. I have data and can make calls, just not able to send messages. This was with the official CM12 Rom for jfltespr. It wasn't working earlier on this Rom, so maybe there's hope. Like I said, I'm dl'ing your Rom now and will install in the morning. Thanks and I really appreciate this. I will let you know how this works out.
Yeah WCDMA is AT&T.
Just one tidbit.. You can't flash *any* rom because your phone is unlocked. VERY important you know this.. Unlocked has to do with carrier and your sim. Unlocked means you can use it on any network.
Roms are typically made specifically for certain phone models and their varients..
Just keep this in mind

Thanks for confirming this. I looked through quite a few pages on the Domestic Sim Unlock Thread to find where I asked that particular question and read quite a few pages afterwards but never saw a reply to my question. What's crazy is that I did see people who said they unlocked the L720 and said they flashed t-mobile Roms. I also recall that they were having quite a few issues with their service as well though. But when I tried to flash At&t roms, it stops during the flashing process and won't let me go any further.
Last night I downloaded quite a few rom (Sprint specific) and flashed them. After playing around with each, I was able to get data and calling, but my messaging is still not working. I've tried several different messaging apps (Google messenger, hangouts, Textra, Go SMS) and none are working. This leads me to believe this is a bigger issue. Is there anywhere that this feature might have been locked again, if that is even possible? Thanks for replying and all of your help. I appreciate it.

I tried to install your rim earlier and the flash kept failing. I'm going to try again when I get home. Couldn't figure out what I was doing and forgot what that Status 7 meant. All I remembered was that it wasn't good. I got it back to stock, no extra steps to get data and calls, but still no messages. No matter what app, apn, etc.
Edit: I've installed your Wicked Rom and it's beautiful!!!! Fresh, clean, and quick! There's one issue for me.........and I'm sure it's not your Rom, but I still can't send any SMS/MMS's. This is frustrating beyond almost any issue I have ever had with a phone.

Once again I was explaining the difference but yes there are certainly times where other varients Roms will work on different phones but has nothing to do with unlocked sims.. Just have to be careful and confirm it's ok first.. Sometimes need a custom kernel.. Usually phones that are really similar will work.. ie I'm on Canadian note4 but it's the Tmobile Roms that work (with kernel) or my old S3 it was AT&T Roms.. So may variables but nothing to do with unlocked or not

Thanks for the clarification. Let me ask you, could a kernel cause problems like this?
Also, I just saw in another thread that going to 5.1.1 would mess with voice, data, messaging possibly. But if this is what happened, why would this stay an issue after I changed Roms, but especially since I went all the way back to stock??? I know this is something that you may not be familiar with, just reaching and hoping that I can get some help with this issue. I'm banging my head against the wall trying to get text/mms back. !
[Solved]
Hey, I've solved the issue through a few steps. In the Phone Info menu (*#*#4636#*#*) I saw a bunch of things that I really didn't recognize. I Googled each one and eventually came to SMSC. When I hit update, I kept getting an error. When I hit refresh, it gave me "4", 129. After googling it and really updating it, I got my messaging back. I don't know, but it seems like going up to 5.1.1 really messed with some things for my phone. Thanks for your help everyone. I really appreciate it and I hope this may help out others who come across this same issue.

Ok so I have been seeing a bunch of stuff about the G930U firmware and I am trying to understand what the benefits of this firmware is. Also does everything work on this firmware, like volte, WiFi calling, HD calling video chat all the good stuff that the stock Verizon firmware has. Anyone who is on this firmware or has tried this please help me out here and one last thing is the Android Nougat beta test available for the 930U firmware
Thanks for the help in advance

Anybody have any information on this,,, please help out
Thanks
No carrier bloat ware. I'm on sprint, but you will lose any carrier specific apps. For example, our sprint app and sprint visual voice-mail do not work
Sent from my SM-G930U using XDA-Developers mobile app
That's not the only difference, there are subtle changes throughout the UI that I've noticed. I'm loving it so far.
Is there anyway to get any carrier apps to work like use My Verizon to pay my bill and also use WiFi calling and video chat do these things work or can they be made to work anyway
To my knowledge you can get those features, but you would need to root and edit the CSC file. I read that it worked for other people, but I have not tried it.
i have a g930v rooted with xposed, i just got all the firmwaRE FILES AP, CSC, BL etc.for g930U and flashed my phone and viola. oh i also used the vzw pit file, important part i presume. no problems so far. running fast, not heating up like it was. ill post if any problems arise. but so far so good.

His question is that, are you getting all the Verizon features with the U firmware. I know that you don't get them, as I have the G930U phone and they don't work.
Yes because I have a vzw sim, I still can use vzw features.

Wifi calling, my vzw, and all security and cloud features work.
That is still not true! I have the Verizon sim (you cannot have anything else!) and on my G930U those features don't exist.
Do I have to root my G930V device to put on G930U or can I just ODIN the G930U firmware onto the V firmware?

No root needed. The U firmware just needs to be the same bootloader or newer.

I recently flashed the G930U firmware and I am very happy with it. No carrier bloat. The battery life is much better and it does not get as hot.
The G930U firmware, unrooted, does have a setting to enable volte calling, but if it's working it's not quite as clear as the HD calling on VZW firmware.
The G93OU firmware, unrooted, does NOT support WiFi calling, Visual Voicemail, or HD video calling.
You can download My Verizon from Google Play and it will work just fine for data measurement/billing/support/whatever on the G930U.
I do not believe Nougat is available for the G930U firmware yet.
You do not need to root in order to flash G930U. You flash it via Odin.
From what I understand, you can root your phone after flashing the G930U using the same method as you would on the VZW firmware. If you root on G930U firmware you'll still end up with the same cruddy engineering kernel you would have if you were on the VZW firmware, so you'll still need to apply the "fix" files after rooting, but just use the one for generic firmwares. I'm not sure if root on G930U performs any better than on VZW firmware but my guess is it doesn't (and root performance on this phone is terrible).
I hope this helps clarify some things.
If jbevins9988 has actually figured a way to get wifi calling to work on the G93OU firmware without rooting it certainly would be nice if he'd share the details of how he enabled it.

7hrs 51minutes.
I was on the the phone almost the entire time (as you can see)
Was testing what I could get. If I had not have been on it the entire time it would have stretched and would have lost minimal screen on time.
This was also with terrible radio reception, at one bar.
That would have raised battery time aswell. Decently I would assume.
Problem first appeared when I enrolled beta program N 7.0 (unrooted)
Then i unenrolled beta program and went back to Marshmallow but then it appears unknown baseband version.
Then I root my device and
I tried to flash the 7.1.1 stock (nmf26f) but still no go.
Tried to do custom rom (du 7.1.1) but still no go.
Tried to downgrade to stock (6.0) still no go.
Tried to rebuild EFS partition with latest TWRP using
ADB shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/modemst1 bs=16384
and
ADB Shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/modemst2 bs=16384
Still no go
Try to Flash vendor image, radio image still i'm crying......:crying:
please help me.
There is no service center here for nexus device. I am from Bangladesh.

Read the end of this thread, maybe it will help. Basically used flash-all.bat to flash the latest February stock image from Google. For you that would be N4F26O.

NUF26K is for Verizon and contains a different baseband with fixes specific to Verizon. N4F26O is for all others- including Bangladesh... besides OP has already flashed a different radio.

"I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I have the same problem.
I called Huawei Argentina and was told that the last Android 7.1 upgrade blocked the cellular network un my country, because I purchased my Nexus in the USA.
They also advised to contact the store in the USA and ask them to get the international free code from the manufacturer in China in order to unblock the system foro South América.

Your thread is very confusing. Are you saying your phone is from NA (H1511) carrier locked (SIM locked to carrier). Please verify and confirm your phone is NOT carrier locked. Secondly, where exactly are you trying to use the phone and have you tried a local SIM from that location.
This was a reply on nexus help forum

Dear v12xke,
Your qouted thread was actually a reply from my same post on nexus help forum. If possible pls visit this post on nexus help forum: https://groups.google.com/a/[email protected].
I post some screenshot there.
I don't think my phone is carrier locked. I am from Bangladesh and i tried various sim from various carrier from Bangladesh. Those Sim worked fine when i purchase my Nexus 6P from local store. This issue happened when I enrolled to Android N (beta program).
Sorry for my English. Thanks
Have you fixed the problem?? i am from Bangladesh also.

I am also facing the same issue. My phone was bought from google play store and delivered in Texas. It was unlocked and no carrier dependent. I used the t mobile while I was in Houston and when I came back to Bangladesh I have been using the local SIM without any problem until last week. I have tried almost everything (flashing the stock image, flashing a custom rom: purenexus, restoring efs backup and now trying to flash latest radio image). I don't think any of them going to solve the issue if the phone is locked for the country.

What were you doing when this happened to your phone last week? There is no "country" lock. Your US phone was sold "carrier unlocked" and is supported in Bangladesh via GMS 900 and 1800, and UTMS B1/B8. All of which are supported by the H1511 (NA) variant. That is why it was working before. If you were lucky enough to have a TWRP backup of your own EFS partitions, restoring those should have worked BUT there was a time when the EFS backups from TWRP were not working because of an error in the script which was corrected in later versions. There is a thread and sticky dedicated to this issue. If not, format them completely and reboot the phone. Have you tried a SIM from another carrier there, preferably one that uses a different frequency as your carrier? Grameenphone appears to support the most frequencies of all the carriers in your area. What happens when you put your TMo SIM in?

1. I was enrolled in android beta and installed Nougat 7.1.2 . I practically did nothing that could hamper the phone functioning. Yes it was working fine in Bangladesh, and in other country as well.
2. I was not lucky enough to have a TWRP backup of the EFS but I got a back up EFS and restore following instruction. It didn't help. I am using TWRP angler 3.1.0. angler. I also flashed the radio to latest one (3.82) and with no success. You can have a look at the phone information and the drop down menu (Screenshots).
3. I have flashed the stock Nougat 7.0 and reboot the phone several times. It didn't work. Can you explain a bit about "formatting and rebooting". Need to know whether I did the right thing.
4. I have tried another SIM from another carrier but still it didn't work. These sims are working fine in my Nexus 5 which I also bought from Houston.
5. Haven't tried the Grameenphone sim but I don't think it is a SIM issue. and I don't have the TMo sim with me now. It is now being used by my mother who is currently in Houston.

>>3. What I meant was to manually format the EFS partitions using fastboot and note any errors:
fastboot format modemst1
fastboot format modemst2
>>6. The thread on TWRP/EFS botched backup/restore does not really apply to your case. It forensically details how the dev mistakenly coded the EFS backup script, why it broke many phones, and how it was fixed. Your problem is more likely one or both of the EFS partitions is corrupted. Your best bet is probably finding someone else with a fully working N6P, make a backup of their EFS partitions and then restore that backup to your phone. A pretty tall order.
I did that couple of hours ago already. Downloaded the working EFS partition from a reliable source and flashed through fastboot. Didn't solve the problem. I will check again with the command you have mentioned to see which partition is corrupted. What do you suggest me to do if there is an error in any of the partition?

bro, same problem.Here, does tinkering with EFS will work?? Has anyone really solved this issue? I am finding a pattern here, in Marsmallow, there was no problem. But as soon as we switched to Android Nougat, this "no service" issue arised. But, who knew updating a OS will brick a phone!!!! I wish i could go back in time and continued with Marshmallow. I have spent 47k on this phone. Now, i wish nobody buys phone of google or huwaei . DON'T BUY NEXUS 6P

from where did you download "working Efs partition"? can u provide me the link. I am helpless here
Google will not admit this but there were major security flaws in factory images before jan,2017.
They patched it in Jan. But effected users like us(who got effected on 2016) got proper fu***.
Hence, the only solution is:
find a nexus 6p user who has everything working....make a backup of their EFS using TWRF (ROOT their phone)...and apply that efs to your phone. Both the phone must have same build version. Both phones must be unlocked to use TWRP to make backup amd restore EFS. N.B. EFS are responsible for detecting celluar modem in your device. Maybe it got corrupted.
if anyone is gracious enough to upload their stable NEXUS 6p Efs backup with build number mentioned, it would be really helpful to us, the affected users.

Firstly this only solution didn't work for me. I restored the efs partition collected from a reliable source (link provided in the conversation between me and Mr. Dhananjay) matching the build number but it rebooted with the restored EFS but the problem is still there. I have also flashed latest radio image (3.81) and it didn't work as well. If you have time you can read the conversation I am having with Mr. Dhananjay who is well aware of the issue and supplied me the fresh EFS. You can try the same solution which he offered, who knows it might work for you. If it fixes your device let me know. Best of Luck.

I've tried with the network unlock assigned by TMo, but no success. It gives me error 5.
I really want to ask and confirm if the "samsungsimunlock.com" method works for TMo in the same situation that I have mine.
Thanks, any advices they done you, about factory reset, or flashing it??

Thanks @luciostanton, I have two phones G975U from T-mobile, and did they say you must avoid make a factory reset or reinstall the system form odin? I have asked in one shop about the unlocking cost: they offered me a $20 option, but they told me if I make the factory reset, the phone loses the unlock. And need to pay again to unlock, but I don't know if was this method.
I guess samsungsimunlock.com give you another "Unlock App" that works instead the TMo preinstalled, or every thing was made online, by USB?
Thanks a lot!
Factory reset to fix another problem. For Unlock doesn't need that.

Hi @leonardovisconsi, yeah, I know factory reset is not needed to unlock process, but if you unlock by this method, and in the future you need to make a factory reset to fix another undesired app, system failure, forgotten pin, etc.... would it lose the unlock? That is my doubt.
Fake! Beware! samsungsimunlock.com is fake! Don't say it's true!
I've tried by myself. Don't trash your money! They send you a fake app, and a RANDOM code. And when you enter the code, or another numbers you want, it shows the word unlocked!, But it's only a word shown. The work inside the phone doesn't exist. It's an app programmed to only show the word. So, for me, it didn't work. Some people of this team will say it's working, but if you wan to give your money, you're free to choose. They say need to pay another $13 more, because my device has a kind of ultra level encryption, and can be unlocked with a more powerful software send by them. Gift $26 !
PayPal may solve a refund, but it's not guaranteed.
And the team has an automated replying system, to tell your refund is on process, and endless process!
Try a phisical solution, like Chimera Relock, or visit a shop, they have guarantee!
Please, let us know your experiences, and collaborate with the people who needs it.

Did you try a Sim card after that screen? The method they gave me, same you are using, didn't work for me.
So, the app accepted random codes. Said unlocked, but when inserted the Sim, it was locked.
The only method worked for me was Chimera, with Samsung Carrier Relock, a very excellent tool. Cost about $15 in a shop.

Remove AT&T bloatware
I hope I'm in the correct thread to ask this question. I have a Galaxy S10+ (SM-G975U) purchased directly from Samsung with an AT&T SIM card. I had AT&T send me the unlock code and my phone was unlocked so that I can move to T-mobile, which I've done successfully. My problem is that I'm on the T-mobile network but I still have all of the AT&T bloatware including the jingle and blue/white rotating globe on startup. I'd like to get a clean install of the T-mobile ROM and remove all vestiges of AT&T. Is this possible? If so, can someone send me a link with instructions with the procedure please? T-mobile phone customer service and local store personnel say they understand my problem but that they can't help me. Thank you.

I could not sim unlock my tmo s10+, I tried a few pages. The other day I call tmo and told them I wanted to sim unlock my phone, the lady told me that I needed to use the phone for 3 months and have at least 100 paid to the line in the phone. I'm on the 2nd month and already did the 100 dollars charge to the line so just waiting for October to call again and have it unlock for free.

Sim unlock just lets you use another phone company sim card. All that bloatware will be there because thatd the software. You can try flashing a 976u1 rom. That's a clean version and has no bloatware.

Hello all,
This post will contain most information regarding Root Recovery & Custom Roms for the Samsung Galaxy s10 5G.
Disclaimers:
1 - This WILL TRIP KNOX 99.9% of the time. Once knox is tripped it cannot be untripped. Once knox is trio certain apps and features such as Secure Folder, Work Profile, Samsung Pay and more will either; NOT WORK without a workaround or WILL NEVER WORK AGAIN.
2 - Once knox is tripped YOU WILL MORE THEN LIKELY LOSE WARRANTY ON YOUT DEVICE. Some countries require companies to have limited warranty on devices despite software status. Google is your friend.
3 - I and any other developer ISN'T RESPONSIBLE with any bricks or mishaps due to user error. If you find a bug report it to the developer. Nor I or Developer offer 100% Guarantee that your process will be smooth and while most software including magisk, TWRP and Custom Roms are developers and tested, unknown bugs can appear. You have been warned.
4 - This guide is for EXYNOS VARIENT MODELS ONLY. Most snapdragon variants contain locked bootloaders which currently doesn't allow custom firmware including root to work. Some snapdragon models do have an unlocked bootloaders but no method of achieving root, recovery or a custom Rom has been disclosed. This warning will be removed if a safe method appears.
Root (Magisk):
Achieving root is exactly the same process as achieving root for the Samsung Galaxy S10/+/e.
So follow johntopwu's guide CAREFULLY.
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#samsung-system-as-root
Recovery (TWRP):
Recoveries are build for each device separately and are not universal amount most devices. While a recovery for one device may work on another, it is not recommended as unforseen bugs can occur and you can softbrick your device by using a recovery built for another device. Currently TWRP is unmaintained, meaning no one officially updates it. Currently Ianmacd unofficially updates it if and when he has spare time, Don't annoy him over it. The Samsung Galaxy S10 5G kernel releases later then the Samsung Galaxy S10/+/e, meaning the S10/+/e will be updated the latest version before the S10 5G. This is out of any developers hands as we rely on Samung Releasing the kernel source in order to update TWRP.
Same rules apply, Follow CAREFULLY and select the correct TWRP for your device. Read and make sure you understand everything before proceeding.

Root will work for any exynos varient of S10 5G. My personal model is SM-G977B, but root should work as long as your device is exynos and NOT SNAPDRAGON 855. As for recovery, Other device models such as SM-G977N (I believe it is) should work, but I have no evidence stating it does or doesn't work so proceed with caution.

Hi , It seems that you have attained root on the Sprint Snapdragon phone. It is great that you have accomplished this. MarshiMello's given steps are for Exynos phones. Can you please provide more details on how you have achieved root on the Sprint (Snapdragon) phone. Is there a rooted firmware available for the Sprint phone? Could you please provide links to the rooted firmware ?
Thank you !
Hi @MarshiMello ,
I was wondering if a rooted firmware is now available for the Sprint Samsung S10 5G phone with the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset ? May I please know if there is any work underway to root this phone, and if yes may I know by when we can be expecting an update in this regards ? I really need to root the phone for my work, and would really appreciate any assistance ! Thank you !
Also it is great to see that you managed to root the Exynos version of the S10 5G phones !

How did you do this?!?! U.S. snapdragon models are supposed to be locked down hardcore.

Bootloader is unlocked on certain snapdragon models, So root is theoretically possible. I haven't had experience with these models and cannot provide support on them. But if I do find a willing tester I can see if the default method for exynos works for snapdragon and will update the guide based on these findings.
Oh okay cool, thanks. Hopefully root can be achieved on my phone one day. It was so much easier back in the jelly bean and kit kat days.

Can confirm, exynos method works for the 977P.
That is really good to hear @Nerdness !
