[SuperSU] RandomPooka:
I never managed to get any SuperSU to play nice with CM13's root. Try as I might, it would bootloop for me, even after trying to fully un-root with the app from the store and then flashing the zip in recovery. That was some time ago, though. I was perhaps doing something wrong. But, the CMTE over Layers issue is what kept me from pursuing it any further. I rather like layers and I still think back to when Layers started being a big deal and there were discussions of backdoors or security risks with CMTE

Rename it to what? Or does that command work essentially like "touch" with only one parameter?

TotalCommander worked nicely for me with 2.70. I absolutely HATE having to change apps because a personal favorite isn't working with a new release, though. I think the moves from E>G, I>K, and L>M went well in that regard, but it seems like a major version number always gets us on at least one app.
[SuperSU] BaristaBot:
so, does this mean rooting is bork'd forever on the pixel, or just until android n is out of beta and all the parts are there? i've had my pixel c for a day and I rooted it on marshmallow before trying out the n preview, so it's possible to root it and use superuser.
[SuperSU] pahlerc1:
Yeah, agreed I just get comfortable using a specific app, especially ES File explorer for moving/renaming things and keeping it organized haha but oh well Root browser is nice and simple too, can't really complain as I am so happy to have working TWRP and Root on the N preview! This is my first Nexus device, so it's nice to be on "this" side of things haha
[SuperSU] outkastz:
Had trouble with my Nexus 6 initially, ended up running the command manually and it worked perfectly. Could be Windows 10 specific but the batch file was giving a failed error like a few others had reported.

N6, did the OEM unlock previously. Currently running stock N Preview with stock recovery and everything else stock. Here is how I was successful: Renamed the .img file from CF-Auto-Root-shamu-shamu-nexus6.img to boot.img to make the command shorter and less error prone. Then I moved the file to the tools folder and opened up a command prompt in that location (Shift+right click in the folder gives you a Open Command Prompt from this location option) then I ran "fastboot-windows.exe boot boot.img" (without quotes) and all was well. As stated, it did a few reboot and now I'm rooted again :) thanks!
[SuperSU] claytonjn:
You guys probably don't want to be using ES File Explorer anyway: http://www.xda-developers.com/baidu...ing-personal-user-data-what-it-means-for-you/
[SuperSU] pahlerc1:
No more ES for me, opened the webpage, saw security and data leak and giving away personal data info.. damn ES all these years and you go and pull this on me haha thanks for that link, appreciate the info, didn't know about that!! Root browser from now on it is! unless there is another popular one to look at
[SuperSU] RandomPooka:
My first Nexus, too. Coming from a bunch of locked bootloaders (Moto DroidX, Bionic, G2, G3) to a phone with an unlockable bootloader is like being let out into the prison yard to play the footballs instead of being in solitary confinement. Having the Nexus preview images is like being let out of prison for a bit to go look at the outside world that nobody else is in. Suffice to say that I probably won't own another non-Nexus Android.

TotalCommander, however, has been my go to file manager for a few years now. I really like the setup and funtionality. There's also scads of plugins available for things like GoogleDrive, DropBox, Windows OneDrive, SMB/LAN, device-to-device Wifi, and so on, so you can copy to and from those accounts just like you were copying from one folder on your SD to another on your SD (of course, limited by network transmission speeds :) )

It's times like these that it's convenient to either have a linux OS on your PC or a LiveDVD/USB of one. Windows, adb, and fastboot have always been hit-and-miss-and-miss-and-miss for me. Yesterday, using the factory cable with my N6 in a USB2 port, my N6 bootloader would tell me that it was charging via USB but that there was no data cable connected when I was in Windows. Unplug/plug/unplug/plug .. didn't matter. Booted to linux and that message disappeared immediately, at which point I was fastbooting ALL THE THINGS!!1!1!

It would be worth looking into getting a thumbdrive and installing a lightweight linux distribution to it for that reason alone.

Samsung has been one disappointment after another in the past few years. Might as well replace Touchwiz with IOS since they've paid so much to Apple to be like Apple.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] _Dennis_:
Yep the iPhone 6s and S7 are exact the same :rolls eyes:

Samsung copied some apple stuff in the beginning, Google copied some Samsung stuff, apple copied sim Google stuff, LG copied dome Samsung stuff, Samsung copied LG stuff? everyone copied everyone. It happens when industries are new.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] pahick:
Im actually not missing root as much as I thought I would. Admittedly, I like touchwiz, just need less bloat. And the debloater works pretty good so far with my S7. Need to trim a few more, if I can figure them all out. But other than that im not missing much, IMO.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] SanguiniusWept:
Is there a way to do nandroid backups? That's one of the primary reasons I use root on my S5. Also, I have so many Tasker profiles that use root and Secure Settings. Not interested in abandoning all of these.

Not recommended for locked bootloaders, of which all US carrier versions are
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] djh816:
The root situation right now is pretty much in Samsung/Verizon's hands. Our Verizon variants have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, the only root or twrp solutions right now are for exynos. Not only that but our bootloader is locked (currently no official way to unlock like HTC dev equivalent or something) and even worse (for prospects of rooting that is), Samsung utilizes Qualcomms secure boot and dm-verity. So any unsigned images won't be accepted and even if they are, dm-verity would make it so that any changes on the /system partition would boot loop your device. Seems like the only way we'll get root is if Verizon presses on Samsung (like T-Mobile is rumored to be doing) to get some sort of HTC dev type unlock program going.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] tolymatev:
I had Note 4 on Verizon for a year since release and it never got root. Im pretty sure it's still unrootable device.

I'm guessing this will be the case here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] yonith2:
Maybe there are devs working on this to exploit our phone: http://www.engadget.com/2016/03/22/google-warns-of-android-root-exploit/

Unless this is what we just got the security patch for.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] darker_slayer:
As I'm aware that doesn't apply to marshmallow
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] djh816:
Correct, we have kernel 3.18.x so it's already patched for us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] jayochs:
I still have my note 4 to this day and there's still no perm root lol. the s7 isn't getting it. don't get your hopes up. plus if you wanna keep using samsung pay, you'll never be able to root. I've stopped caring honestly. no ads with samsung browser and an ad blocker is sweet. if i need mobile Hotspot on my unlimited plan, I'll pop my sim into my old LG g2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Chopes:
Foxfi works great with unlimited on S7E.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] crackbaby0219:
I'm sure you can always root Verizon version of the GS7 but no doubt you won't be able to flash any rooms on the device (just like in the past). But touchwiz has been slimmed down and a hell of alot less bloatware. Even with my past Verizon phonestore I never really found the need for a new ROM (although it would have sped up the phones quite a bit) but I found that just having root access is perfect, especially now a day's with the higher specs and reliability of Samsung devices. I wonder if SuperSU or KingRoot will work, they are the best one step rooting process without a pc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] _Dennis_:
SuperSU isn't a rooting meathod that works without a custom recovery, so no it won't work.

KingRoot users specific vulnerabilities that have been patched, so no it won't work either.

Error will be impossible without finding a way to get rid of dm-verify, which the only way to do that right now is a repacked kernel, which is not flashable because secure boot prevents unsigned flashing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] mwshows:
This is kind of misleading. I know most of it has already been pointed out. But obviously on previous Samsung phones that have successful root, you CAN flash ROMs. They are just TouchWiz based ROMs. Bootloader Locked does not mean you can't flash a ROM. It just means it's going to be based on TouchWiz. No cyanogen or anything else. But you can flash away with flashfire or a recovery (if one exists like Safestrap), all you want. Been doing it for a long time now on previous Sammy phones that were rooted with locked Bootloaders.

Who knows if the Verizon version of this phone will ever see root. I'd like it, but now not overly pushing for it. I can theme and do other small stuff without root. And I can use the stock file Explorer if I need to write to the SD Card. So I can live without it if I have to.

In all honesty, with what's going on in the world, and with government overreacting all the time, I'm more and more convinced that I made the right choice sticking with Verizon and Samsung for phone security. Between Verizon/Samsung/Google locking it down, and Samsung Knox security, these phones are become seriously impossible to hack almost. To me, sometimes that is a good thing. If you're on Verizon, and you buy these phones, you absolutely know what you're buying. That's going to be worth a lot. Plus I love Samsung Pay, and the ability to use that is also worth it to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] crackbaby0219:
Damn, that sucks. Can't believe how far Android has come from being such a customizable UI to becoming this closed system. I mean security is great and all but the lack of freedom is a little stretched being that we pay $700+ for these phones. Guess we'll just have to get use to it now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] mwshows:
I definitely get it, and I loved all the things I can do with root. But my wife also owns a small business, and we keep some of that on our phones. So I see both sides. I need the security of Knox on the business side of things. That's the best part of buying a Samsung phone IMO right now. Knox with the combination of Verizon is just about the best thing for security for your business you can have (if you use your phone for enterprise solutions). You obviously can't run a Knox environment on a rooted phone. So I have to bend to the security side right now.

I've been, probably like you, rooting since my original Droid X days. But as I've changed the ways I've used my phones, I've adjusted my thinking on what I want. Presently, if I want a phone I can play around with root on, i know the choices I have to make. Like I said, it's no secret what you're getting when you buy a Samsung phone on Verizon now. So it's all a matter of perspective I guess. It's also the beauty of the choice we have as a community. If you don't want a locked up device, we do have options. With Android we have a plethora choices of phones, and carriers. "Others" don't quite have the same lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] crackbaby0219:
True, but TouchWiz has improved quite a lot over the years. The UI is drastically more sleek and fluent than before and I'm pretty satisfied with how it is. There's just minor things I miss like being able to limit ads. Other than that the bloat ware has slimmed down substantially and with the return of the SD card and soon to be adoptable storage (hopefully). I feel a bit relieved about not being able to root the S7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] mwshows:
I still run Nova because of TouchWiz limitations, but I get your point.

As far as adoptable storage, you can use adb without root and run the mod to already get adoptable storage running on your S7. It seems to work pretty well for those who have done it. I don't like the idea myself so much. But then again, I don't play many games if at all, so I rarely find myself running low on app space. On every android phone I've owned, I've have maybe 120 user apps TOPS at any given time.... And that's at the high end. And out of those there might be 2 games lol.

Lastly, on ads, I've recently been testing out Adguard. Running the demo version now which ends on April 3rd for me. If you're willing to let Adguard run a local VPN on your phone (just like Block This! apparently), it seems to work rather well on apps and Web browsing so far. I'm not seeing any adds in apps at all currently. As of right now, this way seems to be our only choice in ad blocking capability. But it does seem to work. I haven't notice much slowdown. But I've only been using it for 1.5 days now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] AliceBToklas:
I'm in much the same boat as others here. A long time rooter and made the deliberate choice to go the stock path with the S7. Thanks to Adguard it has not been nearly as bad as I was expecting. I just took the plunge and put down $ on Adguard which should say something. In fact, I'd say so far I am satisfied with the decision but I'm only ~2 weeks into the new experience. Only time will tell for certain.

ROOT

I have a sneaky suspicion that the Verizon S7 & S7 Edge will end up just like the

ATT Note 5 and S6 Edge/Edge+ phones and will NEVER have root. LOL

I would strongly advice and suggest NOT to get rid of your current rooted phones at least not yet

unless you buy a different brand which can be rooted or buy the Samsung international versions

of the S7 & S7 Edge which all come unlocked and easily rootable.

All the Samsung Galaxy international phones come carrier unlocked and easily rootable.

Have a great day!

Can we please cease the posts on this topic until someone actually has some real information? The techies have laid out the root specifics.. It's not looking good. I'd love to hear any developments but right now these bumps and posts don't help us get root..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] mwshows:
LOL I almost thought this was a joke for a second. Then I almost let it go. But why would I? We were having a pretty good discussion... Why would I stop?

This is a discussion section of XDA. Not a dedicated root section. If we do let this thread die off until something "substantial" happens on root of any version of a Verizon GS7 phone.... It's "likely" this thread is completely dead. I for one... Was having a good time.

You have a choice not to read it. Your eyes and fingers have freedom sir. The OP has not complained AT ALL about the direction of the thread. No moderator has complaints. Why should you? I'll refrain from conjecture on that.

The likelihood of root on these (Verizon version) phones is next to nothing, based on what we know, as of right now. So let us talk in peace my friend [emoji12]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] DrWowe:
Unlocking the bootloader is unlikely, but root is very likely eventually. The process will look like this:

1) Wait for OTA update that fix security bugs. DO NOT INSTALL the OTA update.

2) Obtain root using whatever exploit that the OTA patched.

3) Stuff like dm-verity makes permaroot more difficult. Worst case, a startup app can use the exploit after each boot to set things up.

Obviously, not accepting OTAs could make your phone more vulnerable to malware also, but it could be the necessary price to pay for root access.
