[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] revile:
Like a few others in this thread, I'm a long time rooter (since 2011- Droid Incredible 2). It's been incredibly frustrating giving up customizations that became so natural by using CM since version 7.

TouchWiz is ok, but holy hell does it suck compared to AOSP in terms of aesthetics. I'm glad Samsung added a theme store, but no chance I'm paying $2.99 for "Material Dark" when that's a default theme from Google! Also, I've always remapped the recents hardware button to the open menu function, but that can't be done on stock.

These little nuances are driving me mad. I know I'll get used to them over time. In the back of my mind though.. I know it shouldn't be like this.

I'd like to add my company has given us iPhones/S7s. It wasn't a choice. Otherwise I'd be on that Nexus train (coming from a Galaxy s4 mini)

The thread is even posted in the"Guides, News & Discussion" section ;)

On topic- I agree with you guys. I've been on daily Cyan builds until the S7, and I think the only issues for me are lack of root for ad block and the strange re-organization of the system menus. But that's just a preference thing, I don't think anything is actually missing there.

A phone of this popularity- I would bet there are least a few people pulling all nighters trying to crack this puppy open.

I'm hopeful that we'll get it at some point. I'm happy with it for now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] kent1146:
It's such a shame that there isn't root for this phone. It's otherwise a PERFECT phone for me, *IF* it had root:

- Waterproof phone

- Works on Verizon

- Latest Qualcomm 820 CPU

- Supports Quickcharge 2.0 / 3.0

- MicroUSB connector (so I don't need to replace all my charger cables)

- MicroSD card expansion slot

It's not easy to find a phone with all of those specs. The Samsung Galaxy S7 does. It was alsmost a given for several years that a popular phone would have root after a few months. Unfortunate that this isn't the case for this phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] alaindesjardins:
I wish it had infrared sensor, then it would be perfect for me. Having to get up every time I want to change the volume on my sound bar is a pain. Not having root has me considering going back to the Note 4 if I can find a good deal on one. Wish Note 4 would get Marshmallow update like US Cellular has gotten (where I came from).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] 96cobra:
The infrared emitter was cool on previous phones, but why not just buy a universal remote for your sound bar? Less than $10 and you wouldn't have to get up every time you need to adjust the volume.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Brickman221:
Do you think if Tmobile is successful to get root going, it'd transfer over to us Verizon users or are we pretty much locked down for good?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] TechX1991:
I don't have a galaxy s7 personally, but i was reading here for a friend who isn't as savvy but wants the extra crap gone... and I figured I'd post some stupid (or possibly smart?) idea I've always had about a way to go about a Live Root

Look into how APK's are installed through the package installer. Obviously the APK installer has to write to the data/data and data/app folders, why couldn't we hijack that and somehow write to other folders to place the SU binary on the root of the device, for example?

I've had this dumb idea for a long time, since my Droid X2 actually running 2.3.5. It may be stupid, or it might be something overlooked and not thought of. I'd love to hear from some people about the idea of this
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] CoreWolf:
Even if you could inject your own su binary, selinux will prevent you from running it. And you most likely can't execute binaries from /data
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] xdathekilljoy:
Don't lose hope everyone. Look how after all these years the Note 4 finally got hacked and everyone claimed it would never ever happen.

And it looks like they are on to something. I *think* i saw the article claiming it was technically already achieved but not final on gsmarena.

So maybe in the next few weeks or so you could be in for a treat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] PiousInquisitor:
After all the years, how many of the people that wanted root on the N4 still had the phone? I'm for sure not going to have this phone as long as it took that phone to get root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] pfcrow:
There's a software update from June that I haven't installed yet. Do people analyze the updates to see if they fix any root vulnerabilities? I'm nervous about updating on the off chance that I might lose out on root. (I just want my simple host-file ad blocker to work again, not some proxy that only works on WiFi and has to be configured for each access point.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] jayochs:
I still have it. I used it like twice since bootloader unlocking and rooting it lol. and I'm getting sick of the s7 already ugh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] JediDru:
The latest update is able to be flashed over by older firmware. If root is found not to work on the latest version you can go back. That is a big if. I would be surprised if the US variants get root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] xdathekilljoy:
Not many. But it so achieved root. And is still a beast of a phone thar many would be willing to get. You can get an ok one for like $150 ish ebay. $180 b stock refurbished and unlocked.

And it runs verizon. And now you can take advantage of custom roms and kernels on most models as well.

And someone just made a HUGE amount of money off it.

So still great news
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] veloct:
Looks like root has been achieved, look at the latest posts from yesterday.

Can we assume that since the S7 was rooted, the Note 7 (same processor, ram, etc.) will be rootable as well? Specifically through Verizon?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] j0hnh0lmes:
No, you can not. We rooted with an eng boot IMG. You'll need to get an eng boot IMG also unless another method is found.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] xpaiin:
you seem like you bricked your phone and if you still need help, I think I have the solution for you given that you haven't fixed it already.

put your phone into dl mode (pretty sure by holding vol down+home+power)

download Verizon Software Assistant (specifically for your phone) and install

connect phone to computer and run the assistant

It should slowly download the newest update for your model and then upload it to your phone.

Hope this helps anybody

*Also would like to add that I've had my Galaxy S7 from Verizon rooted for some time now. Wasn't very hard and I'm pretty inexperienced with rooting phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] scottyb411:
HOW did you root it?! I've got Verizon - in fact I work at Verizon. I eventually just gave up on methods to root phones nowadays. I rooted all the way up to my Moto X dev. edition 2 years ago - but I'm not too great at tech, I know how to follow instructions and I understand everything about 75% - but I can't afford to lose my phone, so when it comes to entering code etc, I find a techie...but if there's a convenient method, let me know please! I can shoot my email to you as well. I just want a root, I'm tired of stock!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Illogi.xbone:
Check in the Guides sub forum. I am sticking with stock for stability but if you really want to root it works very well. Just note we will not be seeing aosp or custom recovery, besides using flashfire, anytime soon.

Update: Here is the link to the specific thread http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/how-to/how-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] SuperDave1685:
Go check out the How to Root guide. It's very easy. Using Odin, just flash the posted boot file while the phone is download mode, reboot the phone (while keeping it connected to the PC), enable USB debugging in the developers options, and then run the batch file to push superuser to the device. Pretty painless honestly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] cmw787:
Have you read the comments

While the method may be easy to perform it doesn't work properly and messes up your phone it's weird you guys keep directing people to that thread when it doesn't work . All the comments about everyone that got their phone jacked up are right there for everyone to read
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Illogi.xbone:
Not for everyone. Was working AWESOME for me until the new Pokemon Go update, only reason I am not rooted now. You can't really screw up with odin and the correct files to restore if you "jack" up the phone and I bet a lot of those were user error.

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] tennisshoeninja:
I saw the theme switcher for layer on one of the tasker day feature and really like the idea. Can we do this with CMTE?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Sukarn:
I have a custom task that switches themes with the help of AutoInput (plugin) for input on screen and Secure Settings (plugin) to turn AutoInput on/off so that AutoInput's accessibility service isn't running when it shouldn't be. It works for CM TE, but not COS Themer. COS is more complicated to implement than CM and I just never got around to implementing it.

However, am not attaching my task here because it needs your screen to be unlocked to use it. In my case, I have another custom task that unlocks my phone. I cannot and will not share that task.

Let me know if you have a task to unlock your screen or if you use a simple lock screen that you can manage unlock using AutoInput, and I'll share my CMTE theme switcher here. How to go about unlocking your screen is up to you to figure out, and getting that working is essential to making my task work.

Alternatively, you could set up a context using the event for display unlocked, that sets a global variable to anything you want such as "yes", and another context using event display off, that clears the global variable. You could then add the global variable as a "wait until" at the top of my task for changing themes, so that the task proceeds only when your phone is unlocked.
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] gursewak.10:
Hello friends i am glad we are successful in getting xposed on lenovo k4 note.

Here we present the 100℅ working method for it

Firstly i think you have rooted already your k4 if not see here http://xdaforums.com/android/help/root-lenovo-vibe-k4-note-t3313481

First you have to replace kingroot with supersu

Download this file Mod Edit: link removed.

extract it and place mrw folder in internal sdcard i.e. address should be sdcard/mrw

Ok now download this terminal emulator Mod Edit: link removed.

and open it.

Type su and enter

kingroot root allow window will open .press allow.

Now

It will show # rather than $

Now type

sh sdcard/mrw/root.sh

And enter and wait

supersu will automatically open now ask to update binary press yes and select normal.

Now install flashfire by chainfire here https://play.google.com/apps/testing/eu.chainfire.flash

And install

Now download these files

Mod Edit: links removed.

Ok open flashfire

Click + button

Select flash zip file

Select the downloaded xposed-v80-sdk22-arm64.zip

And flash

It will automatically flash and reboot now install downloaded xposed apk and

There you go.

Like everytime you are welcomed to ask questions like noobs

No problem everyone was a noob first.

UPDATE: this method has been tested on 2 k4 notes more than 3 times without any problems. this method will work for every phone with locked as well as unlocked bootloader but just download suitable xposed binary for your phone if your phone is not 64bit.

Rovo89 for xposed

I can't understand how can you lose imeis with this method.

There is no such thing like that.

Imei partition is different from system.

Maybe you tried firmware upgrade via sp flash tool.

But i used firm. Upgrade too but worked fine.
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] zelendel:
Not on all devices. It is common that messing with the system partition can cause IMEI corruption. Chained in dual sim devices. This is due to the fact that android doesn't fully support dual Sims so each oem does it differently.
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] gursewak.10:
But it will be same for same models.

If i am successful he should also be successful on same phone model.

But he may be trying differently. Not exactly how i wrote.
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] crazylife:
Success in something doesn't make anyone just a smart and everyone else is stupid ?

Following the steps of settled me here it don't work with Flash fire, there is a new version, it may be so. Also, my phone is a Lenovo A7010 with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of ROM.

Xposed installed me with the terminal emulator with the method of this video in YouTube

«How to install Xposed installer in lollipop rooted android without custom recovery»

In this way it was installed. But Xposed v80 does not work fine in my case. The phone almost does not restart and when lit, after several attempts, blocked every so often and cake 20 seconds to recover. Luckily it has been fixed by disabling modules. There was no need to uninstall Xposed.

Xposed is an Alpha version. I trust that in the future work finest. I'll wait.

I hope my experience will help them.

Now that I've got to return it, I have no idea what I'll end up with.

I might actually be stuck with the G3 for a while.
