Device is unlocked and I finally got to move over to T Mobile. Went through HELL however got it done and was well worth it. Speed is like 100 times better ( was getting .01 DL speed on Sprint and now its 20.0 MB!!!! Long story with a different thread about it right here on the XDA if you are interested.

New problem is that I have just read online about Sprint coming like a month later after you moved over to T Mobile and re locking your S7 after its working on T Mobile (https://community.sprint.com/t5/Pro...longer-accepting-TMobile-sim-card/m-p/1023474).. They then allegedly fix the problem but I naturally want to prevent it all together.

Any way to make sure they can't do this to my paid off device?

Should I flash the G930T firmware or the G930P T-Mobile variant? Or maybe I should just stay with the latest Sprint version which is the one that is running right now?

Im on v9 bootloader so Ill have to wait if the best is the G930P T-Mobile variant Firmware. in order to prevent Sprint from relocking my device.. Theres currently a Virgin Mobile, 2 Unknowns and a Sprint variant for the v9 bootloader https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930P/.

Any insight into any of this is highly appreciated. Thanks.

I moved to cricket and my phone didn't relock. I would either Odin the T-Mobile if on 9 or the U firmware, since it is on 9.
