Hi everyone, i ve bought a G930F some days ago and i wanted to root it, possibly with cf autoroot.

Hope i explained well my dubts, sorry for my english, and thanks for your answers. :)

Help On SM-G930R7

I'm using a Galaxy S7, does anyone know where or when this firmware will become available?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] shaggyskunk:
If you want to Root your device - Just Flash TWRP img.tar with Odin 3.12.3 - Flash SuperSU v2.82 ?

Note: After you Flash TWRP you will also have to FORMAT Data - Type "YES" etc.

For 6.0.1 (without data wipe ! )

Hello !

This is file for root without data wipe.

When u have 7.0 u must downgrade it. For it u must use HOME_CSC in firmware package not CSC (without data loss).

Use it for 6.0.1 ! ONLY !

It`s too large

Hello Guys,

I just wanted to say that CF Autoroot worked for me on my Stockfirmware DBT G930FXXU1DQJ1 Android 7.0 Galaxy S7, but with Problems.

- I flashed CF Autoroot as in the guidance

- Then the device did not boot complete and told me, I had to do a factory reset

- After factory reset in recovery mode the device booted, but without root-access

- Then I flashd CF Autoroot again. With this I got wondrously root access and the device booted without problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] shaggyskunk:
Yeah it's more straightforward to just Flash TWRP img.tar with Odin 3.12.3 - Flash SuperSU or Magisk - I haven't used CF-Autoroot for years ?

Sent from my SM-G955W ??
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] no_name_no:
Afterward this is true. I thought with CF Autoroot I didn't had to delet everything, i just wanted root on a Stock Samsung Firmware.

If I would flash TWRP now, do you know if I have to do a factory reset then?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] shaggyskunk:
Quite likely - BEFORE you Flash TWRP img.tar with Odin 3.12.3 etc - Move or Copy everything you need or want to the external sd card (or your computer) - You HAVE to Format Data (Not wipe but FORMAT) After you Flash TWRP or your phone will not Boot ??

I'v made the CF-Auto-Root on my SM-G930F because I needed the root to be able to change my Mac address, and it's the only solution I found.

Everything was fine and worked very well.

One of the result I didn't know is that now the automatic update is no more working because Samsung detect the change.

Is there the possibility to reactivate the Samsung Update?

Thanks !! and happy new year!!

Flash stock firmware but root will be removed, you'll be starting fresh from this point (knox would still be 0x1, though)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] gunms:
Thanks for your answer.

Ok, for now I will stay like that, then I will flash with the stock firmware.

I don't use knox, so... :rolleyes:

To make sure to know how to do that, is it the right indications here?

but on this page it is written "Note: after install of this ROM, you won't receive OTA-updates!"

or better that?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] iOrpheus06:
Get the official stock firmware from updato or sammobile (these are websites). Please search for further info ??
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] gunms:
I did search, but I find that there is a lot of wrong or obsolete informations, not serious websites, etc... more than few years ago I feel...

Dude, you're my freaking hero. Im sitting here like cant i just flash twrp or is this more complicated since EVERYONE uses CF.

I prefer to root manually versus using a tool. Its how I was taught back in the nook color days.

But what about this FRP stuff? I plan to find a stock rom as a backup and then see if Resurrection Remix is out there for this device.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] shaggyskunk:
If you're currently on the Stock Rom (Samsung Firmware) I'd remove the Finger Print and any other Screen Security - Make sure that OEM Unlock is Enabled (push to the right) Nandroid the current Stock Rom (Rooted or Unrooted) And Download whatever Rom that's compatible with your phone...Have Fun! ??

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ive9th:
One thing that doesn't make sense to me is this DM verity. There are zips that disable but only for the Axxx and Im on BPH8 (build number). The solution to that per TWRP is to install a kernel that addresses it.

"In order to bypass dm-verity's boot prevention, you will have to install a kernel that has dm-verity disabled in the fstab"

This is kind of making me want to use CF Auto because they dont mention that but maybe its because when the CF threads were written, people were all on Axxx. Its so hard to follow rules for rooting when you get the device later.

Sorry for quoting you but I really need a answer and nobody seems to be helping

I have G935S which is korean variant. But it is already modded with firmware of FD. It is done to convert it to dual sim. (+ IMEI cloning with some sort of flashing box like z3x). It has recovery of S but ROM of FD. Should I get CF autoroot for S or for FD? Any other suggestion you can give me?

Google how to Flash TWRP img.tar & Root - There's plenty of YouTube videos on how to do this - If you haven't already - Download Samsung USB Drivers to your computer - Download Odin 3.12.7 to your computer - Download TWRP 3.2.1-1 for YOUR Device and Carrier - Download SuperSU SR5 v2.82 to the EXTERNAL sd card on your phone - Watch the YouTube videos and learn ??

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Corpo666:
Well, it's easy. Flash TWRP with odin (auto reboot off), reboot in recovery mode, format /data, flash supersu sr5 zip and you're done (wipe is mandatory)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] UnNaMeD__:
Alright thanks man, I am going to to what you do. First TWRP then flash SuperSU. Question is when I first boot into TWRP, should I swipe to allow modifications? Because somewhere it says dm-verity will prevent booting my phone.

Is this possible if I make TWRP backup first without allowing system modifications and then again restart to TWRP to allow system modifications and flash SuperSU, so that if anything bad goes, I can restore backup before allowing system modifications?

Thanks a lot for your help man

---------- Post added at 07:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------

why format data, i never did that before. Rooted my phone without losing any data
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] shaggyskunk:
Flash TWRP img.tar with Odin 3.12.7 - (**MAKE SURE that Auto Reboot is UNCHECKED ***) You will have to Press Power + Volume DOWN to Force Reboot and QUICKLY switch to Power + Home + Volume UP to Boot into TWRP Recovery - Swipe to allow modifications - Format Data (if you don't your phone will just Bootloop) While still in TWRP - Flash SuperSU SR5 v2.82 - Reboot - Nandroid your system now ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Corpo666:
Because since a few month, samsung is enforcing device encryption. If you flash twrp / super su then you boot, you'll be prompted to format your device because of unauthorized system modifications
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] shaggyskunk:
Actually - That's not why you have to Format Data - And you'll still get the "unauthorised actions" notification - In order to remove the "unauthorised actions" notification you need to disable or freeze this file:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jkeuclid:
Greets, I can't speak for Magisk, but I will say Chain's SuperSU is far from deprecated as some have said (total bs) and it's my source (SuperSU pro user here) for root with TWRP (works on Oreo btw), but to answer the playstore issue, that's totally false, all is fine with it's use.

Hi,

is this method still working?

I would like to root my samsung galaxy s7 sm-g930f with android 7.0 and firmware phn.

I tried to root my phone with CF-Auto-Root-herolte and odin but I made something wrong (probably not using the most recent file version or odin version) and my phone was blocked.

Then I flashed a new stock version (downloaded by samsung) to resolve the problem using HOME_CSC so my data seem to be saved.

Now, before trying again, I'd like to know if is still correct becausa I can't understand what was wrong in my operating procedure.

Maybe odine 3.12 instead of odin 3.13.1???

Yeah Magisk works as well - Battery should be just as good if not better than Nougat - At least that was the case with my S7 ?

I thought this might be relevant...

Chainfire Autoroot for Android 7 at the depreciated chainfire website still roots the latest Android 8 build from the Uk - Btu.

When applied it will trip the os detection mod and force a complete reset and whipe of the device.

Wait till the device is setup again - put in google and samsung account and restore all data and apps.

Then reapply the root. (Via odin) It always works without reseting the device the second time.

Also

In previous builds after the device was rooted it became necessary to disable security notification app... in the latest btu build i dont need to disable any security features. There is no constant warnings.

Also

After rooting i applied twrp and the latest xposed build. All work fine. The SU from playstore is fine you dont need sr5

Also

The data partition remains encrypted - i dont decrypt it because the speed gain is not worth the security risk ... but you can apply no encryption app or verity no encryption to remove it after you have rooted... this will resest the device again probibly but ive not tried to.

You dont need the latest website generated root package the chainfire one at the old site will work still.

I'm not sure why you would use CF Auto Root? Flashing TWRP img.tar with Odin 3.13.1 (min) - Flash SuperSU (I use SR5 v2.82) or Magisk and done ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] mooms:
Exactly, CF-Auto-Root is old and deprecated, and besides, Magisk is superior to SuperSU.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] CookieMan1976:
I use it because i am able to actually flash it via odin.

The problem with magisk - i have a copy - is that its a zip file that needs to be flashed with twrp - and i cant flash twrp before its rooted... ie the os detected the twrp thing and rejected it when i tried. I know its supposed to be possible to flash the recovery partition ... but fuk me i cant do it before chainfire replaces it when its rooted via odin with chainfire...

I would like to use magisk because im paranoid every time i do this with oreo - the root was for andriod 7....

So how do you flash twerp on an unrooted fone so you can then use it to flash magisk??
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] shaggyskunk:
Of course you can Flash TWRP on a non Rooted device with an Unlocked Bootloader - That's the whole point of Flashing the TWRP img.tar with Odin!

Use Odin v 3.13.1 - Uncheck Auto Reboot ONLY Reset Time should be Checked!

Boot into Download Mode - Flash the TWRP img.tar - Press & Hold Power + Volume Down + Home AND QUICKLY SWITCH to Power + Volume UP + Home to Boot into TWRP Recovery - Swipe to allow changes - FORMAT Data (NOT Wipe) - Type YES - Flash Magisk or SuperSU SR5 v2.82 & Done ?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] CookieMan1976:
Why has su sr5 not been released on playstore? I just installed it. I have used it in the past but it occured to me that it might be stuffed (broken) somehow or it would be released on playstore.

I tried flashing twrp first - was useing a galaxy s7 uk btu stock rom... it would not flash untill i used the chainfire auto root... i think im gonna use leinage when they stop updates to the s7... it will probibly work a lot better.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] shaggyskunk:
Since it looks like you're new to xda - You might not be familiar with the current situation with SuperSU - Chainfire is the Developer of both CF Auto Root & SuperSU (among other things). Chainfire sold the SuperSU app to a Chinese company who don't seem to have any interest (or perhaps the knowledge) in developing SuperSU any further.

You can still Download Chainfire's SuperSU SR5 v2.82 from Chain own website - Personally I wouldn't be interested in downloading it from the Play Store with CCMT as the new owner - I'm quite certain that I'm not alone in this feeling.

As for not being able to Flash TWRP img.tar with Odin 3.13.1 until you used CF Auto Root - That makes no sense - I haven't used CF Auto Root in over 5 years at least! ?

If you unlock bootloader, you will trip Knox warranty, and Samsung pay will never works again.

No other DRM issues if you use Magisk. Samsung Health will refuse to works but there is a well know workaround.
