I'm guessing the chances of bootloader unlock are pretty slim. Chances for root maybe decent, but hard to say at this point in time.

The Verizon S6 was a little bit sad with the locked bootloader, but at least PingPong gave us root. Does anyone here know about PingPong and whether or not the creators of it will attempt to address root on the S7?

Maybe all the S5 owners that held out when the S6 released will have interest in the S7 and maybe we could get a bounty started for bootloader unlock. Or is the security so sound that it's not worth the effort because it's too hard to crack?

I already ordered the Verizon S7 Edge anyway, so I guess my fate is sealed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] cdmoore74:
Don't even count on it. If you're thinking about getting a Verizon model just assume it's locked for life.

If you care about rooting and unlocked bootloaders over hardware get a Nexus 6P. Consider ourselves lucky that the last few Nexus phones work on Verizon. If only Samsung had the balls to sale one universal unit running stock Android and unlocked bootloaders. I would kill for that phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] snake2332:
It seems like it gets worse with each device Samsung releases. I do care about root, and custom roms are nice, but I like the Samsung hardware a lot, so I'm torn. If I had extra money, I'd get a Nexus 6P, but as it is, I got an S7 Edge for $192 spread out over 2 years if I so choose. That sexy hardware combined with a free $300 smart watch (Gear S2) for $8/mo versus Nexus 6P that I'd have to buy outright = tough choice, so I went with Samsung and am hoping it gets rooted. Until it gets root, I won't be able to use Tasker which affects my daily life, so I need to figure out an alternative to Tasker for what I'm using it for now. On the other hand, at least Samsung Pay will still work...quite a small and meaningless consolation.

The fact is, S6 got root which gives me hope that the S7 will, but I am okay without it....I guess. Man, I despise Samsung and Apple for this crap, but their hardware is so nice.

Lets hope for the best, but I am guessing root only.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Syn Ack:
I can almost guarantee you that the S7 and Edge won't get even root. Many people don't care anymore as much as they used to because phones these days don't require root as much as they did before.

Honestly the only reason I would need it is to force uninstall all of the bloat, but we have Package Disabler for that which does almost the same thing except it doesn't free up the storage space.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] raduque:
Less than zero.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Argyrus:
There will probably always be a root, just takes time and man power to do it.

Just like how Apple always tries to make their phone invulnerable to jailbreaking, but yet people always find a way.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jal3223:
Sorry to burst your bubble but the past 2 generations of Verizon Samsung phones have yet to receive root. It is not going to happen with the implementations put in by Google to verify the system upon booting. The note 5 never saw root, the s6 only shortly saw root on early shipping firmware, and the Note 4 never saw root after KitKat. Just letting you know so that you don't get your hopes up.

You will have to have an unlocked bootloader from here on out unless something huge happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Argyrus:
Past 2? I am sorry but my Galaxy S6 Edge has root..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] gfrrt:
I've rooted every phone I had until the DT2 and now my s7e. since I can now disable bloat and it not show up any longer I don't really miss root. And with the SD card storage isn't a problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jal3223:
Sorry, forgot to mention that one when I mentioned the S6. They both got root on the shipped firmware, but after it was patched no phone after that has gotten root. The note 5, or the edge plus. I'm not trying to be negative, I'm just really upset about the situation of the root possibilities of all the new locked down phones. I really wanted a Note 5 but it was also said to be basically impossible by the community so it saved me time and money. I was just trying to do the same for others.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Argyrus:
It is not impossible, just many people don't want to spend the time to root the Verizon or AT&T, why would they if they can easily root and mod the ones with unlocked bootloaders.

Look at Apple, for example, they try really hard to make their phones hard to jailbreak, but yet people find ways to do it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] snake2332:
Ya there doesn't seem to be much effort put into Samsung + Verizon devices anymore. I can see why, like you mentioned about locked bootloaders, but there are large swaths of users in the US that really don't have the option to get unlocked Samsungs. Like in my entire state, we have to get Verizon unless we want sub-par coverage, and then it's AT&T with locked bootloader, too.

I'll just keep my fingers crossed but am doing okay without root so far (about 14 hours in with my S7Edge).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] squallz506:
If you're a betting man these are the odds I'll give you:

Root 1:10

Update to N before S8 release 1:500

Unlocked bootloader 1:9999999999

Any development 1:99999999999

If we do get root there will also likely be a patch issued to remove the exploit.

Get used 6.0.1 and bloatware.

Speaking of bloatware did you notice the two square inches in the notification shade dedicated to quick connect? It's unremoveable.

Verizon has finally beat me down and subdued me. I bought my S7e fully expecting to use it stock for it's lifetime. It's quite frustrating, but for me not worth switching to a crappy carrier like t-mobile (especially with my $54 a month unlimited plan).

I have found non-root ways to do most of the import things I needed root for, such as tethering and backup. I guess I'll have to live with the annoying stock pop ups, notifications, and warnings.

Of course I will have to be wary about accepting any updates, and make sure they don't cut things off on me, such as tethering.

Disabling apps don't stop them from still accessing data. I use a firewall on top of disabling. After you disable apps, a firewall will still catch them attempting sending data to the mothership.

The G2 and G4 both had locked bootloaders. Mashmallow update killed root. We live in a locked down world now and I am mostly ok with that now that most things can be accomplished without rooting.

Different issues

My galaxy s7 edge has been giving me a little bit of hell as of lately. Apps aren't working like they should. First my Spotify went south. Finally fixed that issue, but now my dji app has been messing up. When I fly my drone my app loses connection with my drone but the controller does not. And it's a big issue, my drone will go 400 feet in the air. But now my app will lose connection after 100 feet. It hasn't been an issue from the start but has recently started occuring. I like the fact that marshmallow let's you choose permissions. But I don't like how some aren't even an option. I would love for the Facebook app to not start on startup. I feel like with root you have a little more control with your phone then you do now. Also I know this issue is a phone issue not an app issue. Have been through steps and haven't gotten anywhere. I honestly don't even know what I can even do now, I freed up a lot of space on my phone by deleting apps I don't use, and doing that to also free up some ram.

Enjoy the wait, you should have expected it. You choose a Samsung device on Verizon (the only ones who should have been surprised are the ones who chose the S7s on T-mobile or Sprint). I honestly doubt root will arrive any time soon, if ever.

Well, never assume that again. It is NOT a given that any phone with a locked bootloader will get root. Period.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Binary100100:
You can always return it. Right? Or you can sell it online, do some research and find a phone that you can root.

Personally, I got a phone to make calls, send a few texts out... maybe look up some stuff online. Root access is nice... but not the reason why I got a phone. But I might just be a little weird though. :silly:

I am leaving post paid service and going pre paid.

I since majority if prepaid US carriers are Sprint, T-Mobile and some AT&T. I want a GS 7 that will support all three carriers with as much bands possible.

Any suggestions or does the Sprint version support (once unlocked) support AT&T and T-Mobile.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] TehPirate_:
Technically, any GSM unlocked phone would work on any GSM network, but that wasn't your question.

I ordered the sprint version to use with cricket (at&t network). What I read, the sprint version will support AT&T better than tmobile. In the end, once rooted, you could add in the band's not supported by default.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] bdsullivan:
Sweet. I have the nexus 6 now and considering getting one for the SD card access alone. Is there a noticeable difference in data speeds with the LTE advanced, does it offer data and voice at the same time?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] carlylemiii:
It just seems that way, or it's because it has a better antenna in general. LTE Plus doesn't get you a stronger signal. The beamforming that helps at the cell edge is a tower-side enhancement. As long as your phone supports band 41, you're able to take advantage of LTE Plus - just not the Carrier Aggregation component.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] asuh:
I am very eager to see what happens in this regard as well. Sprint is notorious about locking down their phones to include very few LTE modes so that the phone is truly only for Sprint. Samsung's CDMA version of the Galaxy phones have been crippled in this way all the way up to the S6.

You can see various phones like the S4, S6, LG G4 and the S7. The S7 CMDA variant does not appear on this comparison chart yet but I'm hoping that it won't need to.

http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/compare.php?p=4066,4769,4773,5081,4928

The last phone in that comparison is the iPhone 6s Plus, which is the same no matter which carrier you use worldwide. I really, really hope Samsung does the same thing.

The only other phones with lots of LTE bands like the iPhone on Sprint is the Nexus 5s/6p and Moto X Pure.

PLEASE let LG and Samsung include all the default LTE modes by default on the CDMA versions of their phones!

Edit: nope, Sprint made Samsung get rid of the most important worldwide LTE band, 7, along with 13 and 20. LAME.

I'm thinking of buying the SM-G730P (Sprint) version of the Galaxy S7 even though I was all the years on Verizon and they are for sure the better service and have more coverage, at least here where I live, but the reason I wanna buy Sprint is just because Verizon just makes Samsung phones much more secure, and locks the boot loader, now the question is, First of all does Sprint still lock their LTE phones? And second of all, will an unlocked Sprint phone work on the Verizon network, and will it work overall perfectly when I'm aboard, on the International GSM network? And last of all is there a different in the build of this 2 phones, Verizon S7 and the Sprint S7, besides the bands
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] TehPirate_:
Today's news concludes that all US (Qualcomm) variants of the S7 indeed have a locked bootloader except for a select few apparently. Verizon and AT&T lock the bootloader tighter than others, such as Sprint. Sprint and T-Mobile didn't lock the bootloader themselves but rather Samsung. Samsung locked the bootloader to better add security to their consumers and there's been hints they may release an unlock kit/tool for developers but this hasn't been confirmed.

I got Sprint to unlock my G930P and works perfectly with AT&T. The S7, at a hardware level, is the same phone for all US variants where the only thing that changes is the software. Meaning a Sprint phone on the Verizon network would essentially have the same network performance as if you were to use an actual Verizon variant. Once the device is unlocked, at least for me, it knew my sim was on the AT&T network and switched the bands to AT&T on reboot.

Internationally, I'm not sure. There is an option to enable Global bands in one of the hidden menus in self-service but I'd assume it'll cover enough bands to provide you with what you need minimally. (I've never gone international before so can't say from experience)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] asuh:
GSM will work as expected.

LTE, however, will be crippled depending on the country you go to.

The updated spec list:

http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=5081

According to that list, Sprint purposely took out three very important LTE bands: 7/13/20. Why does that matter? Because much of the world uses these three bands, especially band 7 and especially Europe! Sprint purposely crippled the LTE radio modes for this phone and I cannot understand why.

So yes, you'll probably get normal GSM and some LTE if they offer one of the other bands but Sprint purposely disabling or deleting the commonly used international LTE modes abroad is just anti-competitive and backwards.

Will rooting or unlocking this phone allow the use of the bands that were locked by Sprint?
