If he has said it in the manner you just said, may be some of us would have understood it. The manner he spoke and stated that he hoped no one ever provided the engineering kernel was very negative. Again, I am not trying to start a fight here or anything. But as normal human beings, we expect things, no matter how hard we try or avoid it. Root is something that I can most certainly live without. But it would be nice to have it. It's a great addition. Some actually bought this phone just so that they could root it and have fun with it. There was a point in my life where I had nothing else but to visit XDA and flash different Roms and kernels all day which actually helped quite a lot my depression and anxiety issues. Again, I am not trying to be negative here or to any one . But name calling is just as bad.

English is not my primary language. But I can speak and write pretty well. But to the guy calling some of us moron here , I wasn't being negative to you in want way. I was asking questions to ur posts. Try to take questions as questions, I hope u have a great day ahead. Peace.

Maybe your in denial because if what he says is true you probably won't get root, but [MENTION=2461375]ohap[/MENTION] had the most reasonable and logical responses I've seen in this thread in a while. Using a confidential file for root probably won't go too well legally.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] v8dreaming:
Your reply makes no sense. Calling people morons, repeatedly, is not a reasonable, logical response.

I never said his claim of not getting root is incorrect. I also never said it was. I actually said absolutely nothing about it.

To be honest, it's not really confidential if they are selling it.

This crap is getting stupid and too far off topic.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] TechBSwift:
Listen to you guys.... Look what Samsung is doing to our members. We are here fighting about nothing. In the end all we care about is obtaining root and enjoying our phones. Yes we need to keep everything on the guidelines xda, but to be honest I don't care how I get root, I just want root. Stop fighting and bringing negativity into the forums. Okay so another person told us root is not going to happen, it doesn't matter if the reasoning is given by an expert or a noob, in the end the result is the same.

We need to get back to being a community, United, willing to help each other. We have become a single man, instead of being s strong team.

Actually, Verizon is the most locked down.

1. Verizon

2. AT&T

3. Sprint

T-Mobile is the most lax. If it wasn't for Samsung, T-Mobile devices would already be perma-rooted and unlocked. The T-Mobile CEO even tried asking Samsung if they could allow them to remove protections from their devices, to no avail, obviously.

If this root is what everyone thinks it is, it will be universal for all SD820 variants, and not just ones on particular carriers.

Yes. I am travelling and looking up the link is awkward but there are apps you can disable that will both stop the notifications and even the updates.

Use Package disabler app from goggle play. Find system updates ....open...and press disable. No more updates.

If you boot into recovery and reboot the phone, does it show up a red DM-Verity flag for invalid argument? Does it pass the SafetyNet app test?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] dredq:
I am sorry for my NOOB question...but how do you get into recovery without root and TWRP? I am new to Samsung... What is the safety net app test? What is DMX Verity flag. Thanks in advance for answers to my Samsung NOOB questions
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] CVertigo1:
I may have gotten ahead of myself by asking these questions first. First let me ask, did you do the condensed display mod using Nova Launcher? If so, that will trip the Verity Flag.

As for your questions:

Power off the device, then hold down volume up, home, and power until the device turns on. Then it'll boot into factory recovery. When it boots into recovery, select reboot. At the bottom of the recovery screen it will say check DM-Verity hash or something similar. If you did the condensed display mod, then red words will pop up saying invalid argument.

The SafetyNet Helper app is an app in the Play Store. It will see if your device passes the Google SafetyNet test. If you fail SafetyNet, then Android Pay won't work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] rgao007:
The M9 took about a month to get S-OFF. You must be thinking of something else.

Edit: I have a VZW Moto X (non-DE) and have it rooted on 5.1. There's a thread on how to do it in the Moto X forums. It's a bit complicated, but you'll get through it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] dredq:
Thanks for all the info. Never used Nova. Checked phone with SafetyNet and it passed. Got into factory recovery and pressed vol- and phone reboot without any info. Presses home got Barcode but no info on dm verity. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to begin the process of custom os by pressing vol+ and then reboot? I don't want to accidentally trip Knox. Thanks for your help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] CVertigo1:
If you passed SafetyNet and didn't mod the display, then Android Pay probably ins't supported by your bank.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] ohap:
this is my nice face :)

ok im going to "Contribute" """ to this thread as some may say .... and hopefully put this all in a way everyone can understand "to answer all the questions "

1. these files they are from Samsung, Samsung didn't release them Samsung engineers did , then they sold them ect ..... ect... ect.....

2. in a samsung firmware theres is many things to make it work, you got

boot.img

recovery.img

system.img

userdata.img

cm.bin

param.bin

sboot.bin

modem.bin

cache.img

all these files complete make a working phone and you the uses is happy :))

3. now the boot.img is your phones kernel this is like many kernels stock or custom this allows many things

4. the samsung engineering boot.img is built AND SIGNED by Samsung and they built unsecured adb into the kernel

5. Unsecured adb its a big word right :) BUT all this means is it allows FULL modifacation to the system , just like root BUT

5. you still have dm-verification :( this means what ever you do to the system once reboot if not signed buy samsung will send phone into boot-loop this is no es bueno

6. will these files be available in public for everone in the world to get ? most likely "but will be removed " because samsung copyright

7. when will the files be released ? i say soon as people start selling to each other of $1 and finally some one just gets fed up and release the files

8. in conclusion will this allow full su root ? i say most likely not as seeing when s6 note 5 s6 edge 5.1.1 eng-kernel came out nothing was made of it really no full root

please lets stay on topic and no trolling :) good night !
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] TechBSwift:
see this was a good post thank you, but what files are you speaking of? I haven't seen anyone mentioning anything about these kernels
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Gotroot:
Good point . Sad part is I have talked to a few people about the eng kernels and they are literally trying to sell this files at crazy prices. I have been quoted 150-800.

I understand the fact of why they are out there but charging people those prices is just crazy. The most I have ever seen come out a eng.kernel besides using them for "box" reasons. Temp root was on the n900a which was tethered.

No sir, if that's the case we would already have root. There are other Snapdragon 820 phones that currently have root now.
