Is there a root for G935U PL4?

No, but a native Hotspot method has been achieved through a workaround for the grayed APN settings.
Hotspot Method
Thanks in advance
Is it possible you can direct me where the Hotspot method instructions are? Would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance
Instructions are in the first post of this thread. The app linked in this thread allows access to change the APNs.

Thanks for the thread but I have G935U PL4 and it's not rooted. Thanks anyway appreciate it.
Hey, I have figured out how to root the SM-G935U on the PL4 build but I haven't determined what is really affected doing it this way. As such I have been able to get xposed working (at least the modules I use).
Step 1: Go to Sammobile and download the PG9 update and get the CP file out of the zip file and flash that over via ODIN on the CP section not the AP/PDA section. This changes the baseband version to PG9 but leaves the build as PL4.
Step 2: Follow the quirky method of installing a root and xposed on this thread : https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/how-to/how-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039 . I deviated from that slightly and used the xposed installer 3.1.1 instead of the 3.0 alpha from that old thread.
I have been just tinkering with various settings and app version to get this to work this way and don't have the phone currently activated just so you are aware though.
Here are a few screenshots of what I have so far. http://imgur.com/a/lHssg http://imgur.com/CmCXoMU
I am on T-mobile and so far I do have internet access, texting, and calling working just fine with this. I will post updates as I come across anything.

How is the performance on PL4 rooted so far? Im thinking about rooting it if the performance is stable.
Hey, sorry. I was on vacation. Well for the day that I used that phone on t mobile everything seemed to work just fine, no battery issues, random signal drops, or just weirdness but later through the day I started added some xposed framework modules and one of them soft bricked the phone so I have to do it all over and figure out which module isn't working with this method.
Can you give an update on the performance after you've finished rooting? Any lagging or battery issues? Still soft bricking from certain installed modules?
I have been working over 100 hours a week and haven't really had time to work on it to see what the issue is. I think the xposed framework for unlocking the microsd card was the issue causing a soft brick, but I haven't verified that yet. Prior to that though, I had no issues w/ lag, excessive data usage, poor battery life, etc.
For all those who are wondering, I have been running this root for a while now and haven't had any issues. While not on power saver mode my phone lasts the whole day with moderate use, root access is fully available, xposed framework fully works (at least for the 3 modules I use), and I have no issue connecting to T Mobiles LTE, HSPA+, HSPA, or 2g networks.
Do you notice any lag after rooting? Is there any type of slowness that occurs when rooted?
If my phone has been on for a few days and I haven't closed out of the background apps, sometimes it will slow down a bit, but force closing everything or restarting the phone fixes it.
