HELP WITH ROOTING PLEASE!!! SM-G930P Boost Mobile

[jfoley420]

Can someone please point me in the right direction on which instructions to follow in rooting my Samsung Galaxy s7 SM-g930p from boost mobile. It has Android 8.0 installed and all the ota updates are installed. My baseband, bootloader version says G930PVPU7CRG3 . I really had no idea there was so many different versions of this phone. Not to mention the Edge version. For some reason Odin will not let me flash anything keeps saying SW REV CHECK FAIL [ABOOT] FUSED 7 > BINARY 2 AND eMMC write failed: aboot. Ive been trying to read threw all these posts but I think its getting me more confused. Is this phone the one with the locked bootloader you guys are talking about? I just need to know which direction to go in rooting this boost mobile phone please. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for your time.
In download mode it says AP SWREV b7 (2,1,1,1,1) k2 s6
secure download enabled
qualcomm secure boot enabled.

There is no way currently to root SM-G930P with bootloader v7
if you were on bootloader v6 then this method worked https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-s7-s7edge-oreo-nougat-t3819616

damnnn thank you so much for the reply...saves me a headache from reading threw everything lol...how can you tell the bootloader is v7? damn that sucks the bootloader must have updated when I installed the ota updates after ordering the phone

the only reason I wanted the phone rooted was so I could edit the apn settings in order to unlock the hotspot on the phone. boost mobile still locks it if you on the 3$/daily plan

You mentioned above your device PDA which is "G930PVPU7CRG3" the number 7 after PU shows the bootloader version.
and you can edit APN settings if you have your MSL code by simply dialing ##DATA# which is ( ##3282# )

 

[foleyj420]

Would i call boost mobile to get that msl or sprint? I was reading with the updated oreo s7 sprint blocked the ##3282# menu, even with the msl number. ...wish there was a way to get that number without calling them.

 

[foleyj420]

Yea i got the msl number the apn settings are still locked to where u cant edit nothing but the name and the ip/4, ip/6 option... any other ways to access the apn ? Wont even let u add a new apn

Yes although i didnt try the dialer code ##brand# because my wife didnt want to factory reset her phone again. But with shortcut master when i go to app explorer there's no app listed com.test.ltefunctionality, I looked through the list pretty good double checked. That ADB bypass method they're mentioning on that link you gave me do you think that would work or is that for older versions?

Does mentioned root solution work with g930pvps5bqk1 ?

I assume my would be version 5 boot loader. I was not able to find any root solutions with this version. Any thoughts appreciated.

same issue here. except that my friend and I made a dummy account in Google, then we reset the phone. now we are FRP locked out...

So now I have to remember the email at least. It was something with crocs and 4 numbers...

Also, logging in to his older account which he had put on this phone at one point does not work.

Sorry this post is not helpful, I`m kind of venting...
