I was given a paid off, carrier unlocked sprint samsung galaxy s7 model G930P that is running 8.0 oreo. I use verzion so i tried muti verzion firmware found on xda and flashed thru odin with no luck. I came across the official samsung s7 G930U v8.0 oreo firmware and that flashed perfectly. I would like to root this phone but every tutorial/video fails to flash using odin. If I soft brick the phone I re-flash the Official Samsung S7 G930U oreo 8.0 firmware and try something else.

I guess i'm getting confused with all the info i'm reading here at the forums and asking for help to see what are my possible options? In short this was a sprint phone that was unlocked and now running official samsung firmware. Is there a working way to root this firmware or Is there a way to flash the verzion firmware and root that? At this point i'm only looking to have a firmware with root access with stock rom at lease.

Thanks in advance!

Current phone Info:
Model: SM-G930U
Baseband version: G930UUEU8CRJ2
Build #: R16NW.G930UUEU8CRJ2
OS: Oreo v8.0
Android security patch lvl: 10/1/18

Correct me if i'm wrong but from what i'm reading/learning from this forum is the 5th digit determines which bootloader i'm on?

so if my baseband ver. is G930UUE8CRJ2. That means i'm on bootloader 8 right?

And if what i'm learning is correct..... bootloader 8 is unrootable? :eek:

Thanks in advance for shedding some light on this dark day.

Yes, 8 cannot be rooted. What are you trying to do that requires root? There may be a workaround

Nothing major. I was hoping it was possible because some of the apps i'm so used to need root (ex: titanium backup & root explorer). I guess I'm so used to using a rooted phone that it feels weird without it. But I know that is just the tech in me......wanting to tweak something that doesn't really need to be tweaked lol

Ok, because there are workarounds for things like ad blocker; Youtube ad block; disabling apps; and hotspot. Yeah, build.prop/xml edits are off the table.
