I am deciding which one to buy. I do not care about rooting the device. I do care about battery and performance. Planing to use it on USA T-mobile.
So what your thoughts?

S7 edge 935F can't boot
Hi guys I have a serious issue with my S7 edge.
I installed a Samsung marvel theme and to keep it I used package disabler to disable theme store and theme center.
I was in a situation where I needed the phone to stay alive even with very low battery so I decided to switch to ultra power saving mode but I didn't think about re-enable theme store and center before switching to UPSM. Phone went black and white but UPSM wasn't fully functional (I had only a castrated black and white normal mode with no access to apps and a limited settings menu with no way to switch back to normal mode. At this point I choose maybe the worst path I could.... I rebooted the device and went in a sort of bootloop stuck on Samsung flashing logo. I tried to reboot to download mode and the phone enters it with no problems, I went also I to stock recovery and wiped cache and rebooted again with same results: phone passes the "Galaxy S7 edge" logo, led turns blue and pulses, Samsung logo appears, phone vibrates, led switches off and then nothing more, only Samsung logo flashing endlessly.
The only strange thing is that exiting recovery briefly appears a message in red that says e:/data unable to mount (invalid argument).
Now the real problem is: I don't mind if the phone is stuck and I have to reset it, factory reset it, send it back to Samsung, even dump into the thrash bin and buy a new one or a Note7... What I absolutely need to do is to have the photos back as those are those related to the first month of life of my first child!
Do I have to try to reinstall firmware via Odin? Go to service center? Please help

Flashing on 935F
Hi all.
I have the 935F International on it's way to me, delivering in the next day or so :)
By all accounts the 935F is already unlocked. To prepare, I have already downloaded Odin 3.11.1, CF's root file, TWRP twrp-3.0.2-2-hero2lte tar, and a custom ROM and bootloader/modem files.
I'm not a noob to flashing, just newish to Samsung.
What is the best way to start? Boot into stock, enable bootloader unlock on developer options, run Odin and flash TWRP, then CF's root file? Also, I want to run unencrypted - format data using advanced wipe 'yes' method?
The ROM states it sets root on installation. Do I then need to flash CF's root file?
Further, how are bootloader/modem tar files flashed? Is it as simple as selecting BL for bootloader, although I don't see anything for the modem??
Finally, what is the actual order of all this? I'm thinking: TWRP first, Format internal data second, CF root third, ROM flash from TWRP fourth, reboot to download mode from TWRP and then flash modem/bootloader last. Then reboot all together to set the phone up?
Thanks and any help is appreciated :):)
