Root

---------- Post added at 01:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 AM ----------

The good old times...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] hella356:
I'm holding off on upgrading from my trusty S4 (HUGELY enhanced by the root & custom ROMs I've gotten FOR FREE due to the hard work & dedication of XDA developers), until an adequate root/ROM situation arises for the S7. I SO hope that the devs for this device don't get disheartened by the petty squabbling that they face from some of the members. I've got nothing but gratitude & appreciation for devs. Keep your chins up. And thank you!

You guys are missing the fact that they got TWRP on the S6. TWRP might mean CUSTOM ROMs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] ^I'm_With_Stupid:
The S6 and the S7 are very different phones. We can't just take twrp from the S6 and put it on the S7 unfortunately.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jakebake102:
The s6 had an unlocked bootloader on Sprint. Our problem is that the bootloader is locked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] s629c:
I thought their bootloader is locked

I'll put up $40 for a Root method. I just need Xposed mods. This phone is the best phone I've owned thus far and I'm going to wait it out. Much thanks in adavance to the Dev(s) for putting in their time and effort for the S7 community.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] ^I'm_With_Stupid:
Id like to further specify my previous bounty. It's $25 for root and $25 for bootloader unlock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] lightninbug:
We could have someone pledge a million dollars, doesn't mean root or unlocked bootloaders come sooner. All this pledging BS is probably just children pledging money that they will never pay up anyways. They day root is achieved, people would have already moved onto the new line on phones.

Just waiting for an idiot to tell me if I don't have anything to add to the thread, not to post. Well guess what each message on this thread is not on topic. This thread and others are useless.

Just because you create a thread or pledge a donation doesn't mean root will come sooner.

People are working on it. And if they find anything I'm sure you will hear about it.... Can we just stop with these garbage posts/threads?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] chiikko561:
Wtf. Bro why? Don't be a little *****... let people pledge and you just go about your life. Why would it concern you?

Why so salty bro?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Alarand:
Providing a reward for spending time developing and releasing a root method seems a reasonable enough purpose for a thread.

That being said, we're all here for the same reason ladies and gents. We should be directing our frustrations at Samsung/US carriers, NOT at each other.

Just take a second before posting - are you contributing something relevant?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] system0verload:
Bro.. I have the perfect solution for you!

Whenever you feel tempted to post something that would not contribute in any shape, way or form to a given thread follow the following steps man.. They have HELPED me tremendously whenever I feel the urge to post nonsense stuff ( almost like this post ):

1) Count 1 to 10!

If the above doesn't help much, then do this in sequence fast:

2) Alt+F4

3) Repeat as many times as necessary!

; )
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] 70dad2:
Apparently they've made pretty significant progress on the g5. Looks like they've got root and even got TWRP to boot .........so frustrated with my s7 right now. Gonna stick with it though.:fingers-crossed:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zlieyd9CP7Q
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] :
It's the variant with the unlocked bootloader. There only progress they needed to make was to make SU binaries and TWRP compatible. People here are having to find an exploit for root and hopefully the bootloader, which is a much greater feat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] nano303:
The guy is right though...last time there was a bounty only %40 of people actually gave up the money.... I haven't pledge but if I do is because I will pay it, not just talking out my ass here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] pbaldw10:
If they figure this thing out I'll donate as well. I'd love to flash CM after Samsung stops supporting this device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] mazook98:
Would it be possible to keep a count (not names, just a count) of the # of developers who are working on this? I'd just like to know that my pledged money isn't in limbo going to "zero" people, plus it'd just be nice/reassuring to know in general. A higher number would keep hope up, and a lower number might inspire those who aren't to give it a shot.

Just an idea I had.

Opinions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jpcloudsurf:
Just wait on it.

It'll come out when it does. Pledges will pay out when root is out. Lol. Don't be impatient. Phone has only been out a friggin month people. Geez luis.

Also it helps if you read the whole thread before you post to get an idea of what people have been babbling and annoying others about.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] mazook98:
The first thing I ever do before posting in any thread is read the whole thing. I don't know why you'd say I didn't. I've been gone from XDA for years, this phone brought me back, and I can't say I was expecting that kind of answer to a harmless idea. I didn't ask anything about when this device might be unlocked (actually, minez a Sprint model anyway, I was just looking around to see who had a betterhandle on it.) Thanks for the good vibes, tho.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jpcloudsurf:
Answers to your questions are on this thread. No one is gonna put a list of who is working on it so the annoying people don't bother or scare off the devs. This is THE root and unlock thread and anything pertaining to that will be posted when it is. People wanting to know when something is out is so annoying. You're questions are for your peace of mind. Which is irrelevant.

As quavo would say: just wait on it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] rockspin:
Put me down for $50.00 for root or unlocked bootloader, whichever comes first. [emoji106]
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] mazook98:
There's posts saying certain people are working on it, then others that say the same ones aren't or aren't for sure. I just thought an anonymous number would be good. Forget I asked.

On a more important note, like I said, it's been years since I've been here: everyone's seems negged out and jumpy in this thread. I know ( I hope) people usually don't just get jumped on first thing on the reg now. Is that how it is around here now?

No man.. frustration has gotten a strong grip on some peeps lately, prompting some threads to be closed and some members making insensitive requests. Your inquiry I don't believe warrants any rude replies but this thread is HOT lol

About your inquiry, there are a few people working on this.. I have first-hand knowledge of a few but it ends there! See, the part most don't understand here is that at least the few working on their own time, have responsibilities and family! And the truth is this is not easy, at least if you don't have like 4+ years of solid low-level development which goes beyond the basics of application development.

Just hang on tight and hopefully soon something may be coming our way!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] pantmunu:
U know , how easy was this ? Like to write down a reply in a very calm.and composed manner .. been following this thread and the amount of s**t i see is too damn high.

Anyhoo, i hope things settle down and we achieve root or bootloader unlock. Things like these take time. Patience is the key. When i was on my mt4g , i think i wauted about a month for root and some more time for soff or something like that . People NEED to undertand these things.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] mazook98:
Thank you for the civil reply. Like I mentioned, I'm on Sprint anyway, but I think if one gets unlocked, they all will, so I was just checking the latest in here. I hope you guys can enjoy XDA without drama or the feeling of continually being in attack mode: I was involved in a huge Evo3D forum like that and it got that way, worse in fact, and it just took all the fun out of the community. It's not worth it, at all, and the message some may be trying to spread doesn't stick in the first place. (Thats the 'don't ever ask about anything' message I'm talking about). Curiosity is human nature.

It's totally not my place to tell anyone what to do, I just like a peace&love type of XDA over the opposite.

Again, thank you for answering me so civilly, and I wish you (us) all the best, and hopefully good news comes sooner than later, but if not, that's what your old devices are there for, or what Swappa's there for if you can't wait.

I'm glad I stopped back by XDA.

Hope to stop back in soon:

You may be right. I'll go hang in the Sprint forum and see how it's going over there some more. (BTW, I just realized I'm only 3 likes from 1,000, so if maybe just a few of you could do me a solid here? Lol, it's been so long, I never thought I'd get there, but it'd put a smile on my face.)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] ^I'm_With_Stupid:
Maybe it would be helpful if someone made or posted where one could find a thread for discussing root and bootloader unlock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] the Doctor:
Been there, done that, and the threads got closed for disrespect to devs and off-topic. I'd avoid doing that again until something significant comes up or I was a developer actually capable of working the issue. Otherwise, it's going to wind up going off-topic by noobs and closed by the mods.

There are people much smarter than me who have already been able to decode this and can make it available to the world, but money runs the world now and until the end of time.

The only positive I see out of all this bikering (like old ladies) is that I'm sure it causes the true devs to get their own private forum to really get some things done.

Thanks to all the devs and good luck. Cause I need my root!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] roc919:
Why are people making a big deal out of this situation? If you have the money then go buy an unlocked one.... if not wait for root and STHU so people like me can stalk this forum and see the progress thats being made. If you don't have the skills required to unlock your own device why would you argue with one of the only people in the world who can/will help you achieve a near impossible feat (for us average users)??? ?

I dont know if this is of any use but i figured id post it for someone who might know more. It states that the code snippet is from kernel 3.18 and thats the kernel we're on if im not mistaken.

Couple of questions cant some on modify the android ADB to get it to work on User builds instead of user debug build and then use adb disable-verity?

Second question can some one download the official firmware Here http://samfirm.net/threads/g935t-ro...35tuvu1apb6-tmb-android-6-0-1-marshmallow.67/ mod it on a pc and then run adb disable-verity to get the "/ Magic number #define VERITY_METADATA_MAGIC_NUMBER 0xb001b001 and then use that on the phone.

Third Question can we use the " S7 edge ENGINEER binary s-boot FD/F/X fw" here http://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/help/s7-edge-engineer-binary-s-boot-fd-f-x-fw-t3328714 to help with modifying T-mobile stock or finding a loophole or vulnerability. page 4 of the link above here for the download link.

With verity off, what will it allow us to do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] goofwear:
[MENTION=6356997]Lifehags[/MENTION] In short its like windows secure boot, with it enabled we cannot flash files that are not signed. Kind of similar to the HTC S-off

Quote "A public key is included on the boot partition, which must be verified externally by the OEM. That key is used to verify the signature for that hash and confirm the device's system partition is protected and unchanged."

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] WalkingHat:
Wait, then what is the difference between verity and loked bootloader?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] goofwear:
[MENTION=6356997]Lifehags[/MENTION] I believe and Am pretty sure that Verity On means the boot loader is Locked and if its off means the bootloader is unlocked.

Either that or verity just mean that the file signature verification is enabled meaning you can flash non signed files.
