Exactly, you got it. No problem. This firmware doesn't have bloatware for the most part, that's the reason you'd want this rom, aside from the fact that this firmware is actually receiving over the air updates as to where most modded firmwares on XDA do not. As far as I know, this is straight factory coding. But it could be slightly altered. You want as close to source code as you can get when you install new firmwares unless it's been slightly tweaked to maximize battery life and etc, but I try to avoid those cuz it's been tampered with and who knows if it'll throw errors at me later on after everything settles for a while.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] V@no:
One important thing you might want to mention in the OP, is that this flash will erase entire internal storage, not just apps data, all photos and everything else will be gone.

The Samsung Smart Switch does not save everything from internal storage, for example if you have an app that backup up it's settings to internal storage, these backups will be gone.

I use SyncMe app that automatically sync everything on internal/external storage to a remote shared folder on computer, which saved my ass with this rom...

Also, Helium app seems to be able backup/restore much more apps that Smart Switch does.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] MafiaIlluminati:
Okay I'll add that later tonight. I have to dig up the links and then I'll make sure to add that to the op. Thanks for the feedback. I don't usually use many apps, that's why smart switch was good enough for me. Thanks again for helping to make the install a little smoother for everyone!!!

Quick Question (s):

1) Can I install this (via ODIN) on 935T (TMO)?

2) If I install this (via ODIN) will my phone stay "Unmodified" or will the status be modified? Will I be able to continue to use AndroidsPayments, Good Apps?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] MafiaIlluminati:
Please read the OP to answer every other question, it's an odin flash which means no tripping Knox. You're on your own with Android payments... I have no use for it and I don't care about it whatsoever, same goes for Samsung pay. I will never trust my info being that "available" to digital thiefs. There's already too much private info on my phone as it is, and I have no desire to "encrypt" my device either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] cnewsgrp:
Thanks .. I did read but OP and all pages before asking. I was not aware using ODIN did not trip Knox so glad to learn something today. I have flashed U firmware and used Android payments with it so hoping this will work.

Will flash now and check out

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] jshamlet:
That statement isn't generally true, however it is in this specific case.

You *can* ODIN flash things which will trip the Knox warranty flag if the bootloader is unlocked - installing TWRP to a Samsung tablet, for example, will trip it. However, since no one has successfully unlocked the bootloader on the US S7/S7 edge, ODIN won't (generally) trip Knox because a locked bootloader simply won't accept anything not signed by Samsung.

More to the point, the engineering kernel used for this root is signed by Samsung, as it is a leaked build of actual development software. Since it is a properly signed binary, and for the S7/S7 Edge, the bootloader accepts it and doesn't trip Knox. This also means that you can revert back to stock without a single sign of having messed with it.

Is there anyway to get rid of Facebook app. I can only uninstall the updates. I just don't want that thing at all.

OP: Do not want to diminish your efforts and contribution in anyway, but a small nitpick : When the phone was connected, ODIN said "Added" instead of "Connected"

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] MafiaIlluminati:
Well, thanks but these are not my efforts by any means, all credit goes to the original developer. Not sure why odin says that, I wouldn't worry about it. With Facebook: All you can do is disable the app, unless you root it, which will disable your OTA updates. So your best best is to just disable the app. I have only messenger installed.

Yes, it will work just fine, but the phone will remain sim-locked as before though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] harleyusa:
Thanks, and the install was sweet with no problems. I am waiting for the OTA to finish. My only question is ...... is this already unlock or do we have to take it to a at&t store to have it unlock? I know it is sim is locked but how about the bootloader.... after all it is a attphone. It is very easy to root with no problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] jshamlet:
No, the bootloader is still locked. The current root solution requires a Samsung-built engineering kernel, which is properly signed.

You don't say what carrier you intend to use, which is also important. If you are on AT&T, you lose VoLTE, WiFi calling, and a few other AT&T specific features such as video calls, etc. However, you get a pretty significant performance boost in return (because you aren't running AT&T bloat), unrestricted tethering (including Bluetooth tethering, which is disabled in AT&T FW), etc. You also get your updates directly from Samsung, rather than AT&T - which, if you aren't on an AT&T network, means you get updates.

If you aren't using AT&T, then there is absolutely zero reason not to switch to the U firmware.

It is a bit worrisome, given that the S7 is no longer the new shiny, but unlocked always lags carrier firmware updates. Since the carrier versions are getting their updates now, I'd expect to see an update for the U version soon.

Thanks. Great OP. It's so easy using Odin to flash G935U over Sprint G935P. This firmware gets rid of the annoying Sprint activation screen. The phone was unlocked to being with. Works great on both T-Mobile and AT&T network with LTE service. I was surprised this phone is laggy at times (both before and after flashing), pretty sure it is because of Samsung bloatware.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] jshamlet:
Root isn't a factor, but your bootloader version is old. This shouldn't cause an issue installing a newer build, but you might consider taking OTA updates for the existing firmware until you get to bootloader version 4. Perhaps another poster can comment on whether that is necessary, since you will be using ODIN to rewrite all four regions at once, but my 935A was on BL4 when I converted it from A to U.

Otherwise, as long as your bootloader version matches, you can switch between the 5 US versions at will using ODIN. The resulting images are 100% factory stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] masood8:
Thanks for the great suggestion,

Actually I am in Canad and unable to get OTA At&t updates, This is the only reason I though to update and shift to stock andriod clean from at&t bloatwares.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] jshamlet:
The difference between U and A is astonishing, and since you aren't on AT&T's network, there is zero reason to stay with it. I'd suggest seeing if ODIN will let you switch, or find an older U version on BL2. Seriously, it will feel like you got an early upgrade.

QUESTION ON THIS COMMENT: Fully Unroot: Select Phone Bootloader Update (Removes EngBoot Changes)

Can someone please expand on the option above as originally posted by the OP in his instructions? Specifically, within ODIN, what is the difference between selecting to update the bootloader? I realize the original bootloader is an old version but what are the pros vs cons of updating the bootloader? Does this mean that if the bootloader is updated you'll never be able to flash back the the original and outdated AT&T ROM? Also, what does it mean to remove the EngBoot changes? What changes....for that matter, what is the EngBoot? TIA!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] jshamlet:
Once you go to a higher version bootloader, it will prevent "downgrading" to a previous version. That is, if you are on BL4, you can't install firmware for BL1 through BL3. For a while, the U firmware was stuck on an older bootloader version than the most up-to-date carrier firmware, which meant you couldn't transition if you took the latest OTA updates.

These days, everyone (except Sprint) is at BL version 4, so you unless you have a fully updated Sprint device, you can migrate between versions at will.

Technically, it also means you can't run the oldest versions of Marshmallow either, though I'm not clear why you would want to anyway.

In theory, yes. You aren't allowed to downgrade to a lower bootloader version, but you obviously can upgrade from a lower to a higher version.
