Root/TWRP/Flash T-Mobile S7 ( SM-G930T ) with Android 7.0

[Nomadadon]

Of course S7 on Tmobile gets unlocked the day it updates to 7.0 but I want to drop some different roms on it, I hate the T-Mobile/Samsung crap that just eats space and battery.

I have enabled developer mode, turned on USB Debugging and enabled the OEM Unlock.

I have tried Odin 3.12.3 and 3.10.6 ( which comes with Chain fire ).

Before and after trying a factory reset, I am completely unable to replace the recovery with TWRP or chainfire or even just drop a new rom on it. When I try to use Odin, I get an error message " Complete(Write) operation failed" or " Complete(AUTH) operation failed". I've tried running Odin as Admin, I've rebooted my computer and the phone multiple times and tried 4 different USB cables ( thick and thin ) which all pass data at a good speed.

Any thoughts? This is getting annoying.

Wait what? Did I miss something? When was the S7 bootloader unlocked?

Afaik it is only possible to sim unlock the device, not bootloader unlock. Unless keys were leaked from Samsung or an exploit was found.

What do you mean by "Tmobile gets unlocked the day it updates to 7.0" ?
Please go on details

As far as I know, the bootloader is and always will be locked. There is no way to replace the recovery.
