Root Root SM-G930T

Afraid not. All U.S. carrier minority variants of the S7 & Edge have locked bootloaders from their carriers.

I understand.

Guess what this thread reminds me of? It reminds me of having my S3 from years ago and I had the firmware that could be rooted but than I updated to KNOX and than there was my millions of discussion threads being made to downgrade the KNOX bootloader. Lol.

Yeah, that is what's up. It's like the Galaxy has its own prison where T-mobile oversees it. Lol

1.) What is the best 2016 phone that could be rooted?

2.) And which carrier would be the best for this?

I have T-mobile and with the S7.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge... so long as it is not a U.S. carrier model.

U.S. carrier S7 models have locked bootloaders and no rooting

The Global S7, G930F, or the S& Edge, G935F, would both work fine on the T-Mobile (USA) network.

Plus, the Global models are running on the faster and more battery friendly octa core Exynos chips. :thumbsupdroid:

Hey, Koolio, is that price for the Galaxy S7 Edge, US$779.95, (£542), with or without US sales tax? In the UK they are £639, (US$919), inc. 20% VAT, (sales tax)... £533 nett, (US$766).

Depends upon which state you reside:
Some have sales tax,others don't.
YMWV,that much is certain........

Do they offer financing on those models, and if yes, than what site could I finance it from?

I posted a reply on Monday and I seen no one has answered. Is anyone going to answer?

Who are you talking to & which retailer are you asking about?

If you're inquiring about B&H Photo/Video,it does not appear to offer financing for individual sales,but,it appears they have some sort of business leasing program,not sure if that includes all mdse they carry:
