Ah I see. After your explanation I do see how or possibly why they could unlock the bootloader. It's a lot more believable then before.

When you say wipe android you mean essentially making you're phone a paper weight? No OS, doesn't turn on, nothing right? So you would need an application through a computer to gain root acess to the device and load android onto the phone again?

But can the 9350 be flashed with TMo ROM or have TMo wifi calling & VoLTE? I have several specific needs for root which I refuse to give up, but losing those two features (particularly wifi calling) would be a tough pill to swallow to get them. For now, my trusty, battered, rooted/custom ROM/custom kernel S4 is still preferable to a stock S7 to me.

Also the developer said tomorrow he is releasing more information on exploits tomorrow, and basically confirmed the bootloader can be unlocked using this method but it requires a certain kernel. So do not upgrade to the latest firmware just in case the kernel was updated!!!!!!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] sputnik767:
If this is true, it's great news for many here, but of course I have my doubts, especially if it requires a certain kernel that may have been shipped months ago. Having said that, I will wait for a plain root exploit that will not trip Knox and lose Samsung Pay. Not that I care about Samsung Pay, but it will reduce the value of the device in the marketplace in the future, not to mention blow the warranty.

I believe he was making a funny. Fight club=XDA Every seasoned rooter should know, if u are waiting on root, never update your phone until said root is found. Also, No dev here on XDA likes to be pushed for updates, some state in the OP to not ask for updates. It's also respectful to not ask for them and allow the dev to do their thing.

Quick question...

Am I the only one who has experienced that when it takes this long to get root that most of the dev's have moved on? Meaning that even if we get root there won't be too many supported roms to run?

Not trying to bring negativity, but just curious. I reeeealy like the phone but don't love anything without root. Just disappointed although I appreciate all the work put into attempting to get root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] TechBSwift:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] TechBSwift:
He said the compiled kernel was for a different chipset, he never said the overall method wouldn't work. The guy who created the exploit tested it on a snapdragon 805 and 810, not the 820.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] system0verload:
It won't work.. unfortunately for you and most here, this exploit has been patched already... its latest permutation won't work unless you have an AFFECTED device! The truth is that privacy and security transcend root or unlocking a bootloader at this point. When this principle is understood, it is easier to comprehend why the OEM locked it down especially on a phone that allows for the storing of sensible financial information such as CCs, etc.. I'll give up on root and an unlocked BL because my peace of mind is far greater than anything else! I am all in for root/BL unlock but not like this; not using rogue exploits like the one attempted for sure.

Also, when it comes to this specific exploit:

TIMELINE

27.09.2015 - Vulnerability disclosed

27.09.2015 - Initial response from Google

Supposedly there's going to be another post tommorow detailing how to use the exploit to unlock the bootloader. Maybe that will help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jdidtht:
Well let's hope. That would be epic
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] system0verload:
I would be so skeptical of such claims because............. even if it is true, the eQfuses are being blown due to bad implementation of the exploit. In a LOCKED BL is impossible? to blow the fuses by merely running in a privileged state temporarily and in session. The boot files have not been tampered with, i.e, the trusted boot to measure the boot loaders, the OS kernel, and the initial scripts and data used by the kernel. These are stored in the TrustZone secure world with proper security protection.

In other words, if access to the keys (the right keys) were truly accessed then why KNOX would be tripped? Remember, this exploit assumes you have access to the MECCA of the android OS: where all crypto keys reside! Either the person putting this together doesn't know jack about the arch or the former + I call BS once again.

This is one of those chicken or the egg BS dilemmas! Believe what you will though but don't let yourself get fooled just because..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] TechBSwift:
Well two individuals confirmed temp root. Now to answer the rest of your questions maybe the reason knox is being tripped is because the person who created the zip on xda might have miss something. I don't believe this is the same guy who found the exploit

And two phones were bricked and KNOX tripped. if you are following the thread over on Sprint, it has been stated that it will not work as-is (it needs a rooted kernel for starters and none exist), so bricking is the only result - stay away from it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] mocsab:
the G935 F works nicely on both ATT and TMOBILE networks. I don't believe they will get VOLTE - but they get LTE. As for trading, you might have better luck selling your TMOBILE S7 edge on Swappa and then buying a new or used G935F.

I sold my TMOBILE S7 Edge the first week I bought it (or the second week maybe - as soon as we learned it had a locked bootloader) and I ahve bene using the G935F ever since. Works Beautifully - I get awesome LTE speeds but as I said, it won't get VOLTE.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:

Have you tried any of the custom international ROMs on it yet?

Also, where did you get it - there are some horror stories from posters who got from different sources?

Sorry if a bit off subject but it is still about root, and the way things are going, it may the only avenue to a rooted S7E on T-Mobile at the end of the day.

Sammy's going for the government/enterprise market. Security above all else. It sucks, but what's pissing off a few thousand fans of the Dev community compared to contracts that could be potentially worth billions of devices to the government and businesses?

Like I said, it sucks, but it's more than fiscally understandable. If these devices are going to be rooted/unlocked, it's going to be from an exploit, not from Sammy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Gotroot:
Well agreed.. seems that Samsung should make special editions for government and business thats locked down. But to each there on. I will just know better next time. I don't really need or want a unlocked boot loader. But I purchase all my phones outright. I should have a choice. If I chose to have a unlocked bootloader on a device I paid for in full then it should be.

Or even a statement that new security software was enable. Before buying would have been nice
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] MechaMorph:
More SKU's means less profit which is why there isn't a "government edition". Simple business economics. Samsung doesn't care about those of us who root. They never will. [MENTION=1672641]rdeets[/MENTION] hit the nail on the head. Pure business decision and all major OEM's will be headed this way. Gaining root on non-Nexus devices in the future is only going to get harder and harder.

At this point if you want root your best option is Nexus. Period.

I bought the T-Mo S7 Edge knowing that root and the feel for AOSP ROMs might not be possible. After reading through pages and pages, it feels like you many do not do their research before buying the device.

I purhcased it on Amazon.com - as a prime member - there are some prortections - my credit card also protects from bad purchases - I have tried every single international rom made for it - and flashed a whole bunch of different stock versions - Brazil - Germany - etc. The freedom of being able to update on a whole bunch of differernt releases from differetn countries is also very cool. Brazil has a special olympics version samsung recently released. Nice Black out theme came installed stock.

When the next NOTE 6/Note 7 (whatever they call it) comes out I am not going to take a chance on TMOBILE purhcase - I will be buying an international version of that as soon as it is released.

Same here. I research and look at reviews / issues of every phone I get, and the xda section for the phone is one I definitely stop at and it was quite clear that root might not happen, but I feel like unless you really need some sort of app requiring root, it actually doesn't seem necessary especially with the package disabler app and debloater tool for pc available to us.

One of the reasons many of us rooted was to get rid of bloat
