i attempted to do so, but i have an antivirus that i cant get rid of, and i believe antiviruses mess up odin. im using my dads old office laptop, because my new pc parts are coming in a week or so. (my dads office laptop is just any old laptop with synmatec endpoint protection)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stale_Wafflz:
so, anyone else having issues with apps stopping randomly with superSU? i surely cant be the only one...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
What apps you talking about?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stale_Wafflz:
Literally any app at random... I also had the play store not not download anything... It gave me an error that I can't think of the top of my head
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
Did you try wiping cache from recovery or from flashfire if you can use phone. Recovery is volume up home and power all at same time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stale_Wafflz:
Yes, obviously

Yes, obviously
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
Sounds like it could be time to Odin back to stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stale_Wafflz:
Nah

I just factory reset from recovery lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
I thought you already did that way back several posts ago. So it's fixed now then?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stale_Wafflz:
But I still want to root really bad ;^;
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
Just follow the OP and you will.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stale_Wafflz:
I DID... THEN THESE PROBLEMS AROSE.... And now I can't even flash stock because Odin is not working. It says FAIL! (auth)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
You got to have the right firmware and the right Odin and it will work or something maybe got corrupted your first go.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stale_Wafflz:
I'm sure that my firmware and Odin is right... I got the files of XDA... I also tried like 6 times
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
I looked over your posts and you're correct in the process you took. You indicated that the engboot and root all worked correctly but that your problems started after that. So I think you should flash the v15 fix using flashfire and it will fix you up proper. Here's the link:

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/how-to/how-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039

Personally I didn't do the debloat, only the v15 fix and my phone is perfect. You should also use TB and freeze the security stuff and also stop a few things in settings and I also stopped app updates in playstore.

If you originally got root but had problems after then I think this is all you were missing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stale_Wafflz:
if i use this over the custom firmware i already have, will this mess up my phone?

---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 PM ----------

also, when i had superSU installed, i was unable to downlaod any apps... (from the play store)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
As long as you follow the OP and start with a relatively stock new phone, no encryption or passworded or nothing and all your windows samsung drivers and adb is installed and working correctly, which it sounds like it does since you successfully got root earlier, then directly after you Odin the engboot and run root.bat and your phone is back up and running then just get flashfire from playstore and flash the v15 fix from psouza4's OP and just follow that OP for any other instructs.

Sorry for the long winded reply.....but yes you can and want to install the v15 fix and it should help your phone not mess it up and after you get root supersu shouldn't have any effect on downloading apps.

Just for the record....what variant and stock firmware. I think that I read verizon ph7 has problems?? Anyone know for sure.

Good luck.

Android 6.0.1, model G935A

---------- Post added at 11:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------

Also, this would be pointless, because i cannot physically get any apps from the play store :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
6.0.1 is android version.......g935a starts the firmware version.....should be ph1 or pi2 maybe first at&t.

Just try it.....you should be able to download from playstore. It should work. May need to go into recovery and wipe cache in between but if you start from scratch as indicated in both OP's it should work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stale_Wafflz:
so do i need to factory reset my phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
Depends where you're at at present. Plus do you have a copy of your stock firmware for Odin just in case? Not mandatory since you can find after if you need.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stale_Wafflz:
i customized my phone quite a bit. my stock firmware doesnt seem to work on my pc however ( it was ripped from sammobile btw)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
Which Firmware version are you on......ph1 or pi2 or other? Either way as long as no encryption or fingerprint or passwords you should be okay to Odin engboot then running root.bat through adb hookup. Also, what is meant by firmware doesnt seem to work on your pc?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stale_Wafflz:
first of all, how do you tell if im on ph1 or pi2? and also, the firmware gives me an error after a lengthy file analysis...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
Settings /about device/build number

You need to tap build number 7 times to get developer options in order to get usb debugging in order to use adb to run root.bat but I'm sure you knew that already since you had root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] margentieri:
I've read all around and I have come across contradictory information. I am hoping someone might be able to provide some clarification for me.

Will this method root the non-carrier branded, unlocked USA S7 Edge version (SM-G935U)? If this method will root the SM-G935U, will it trip Knox?

Sorry, I know both of these have been addressed already, but as I said, I keep coming across contradictory information. It would be nice if there was a 935U forum to search in, it's been hard finding information that isn't carrier specific! Thanks in advance guys!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] stew1411:
People have reported success rooting the 935U firmware. Most people don't have an actual 935U, just flashed the U firmware on their carrier branded device and rooted. It doesn't really make a difference, as the unlocked model and the carrier models all have the same exact hardware, only difference is the firmware. As for tripping Knox, I've read that it doesn't, but take that with a grain of salt, as I don't really know. When I rooted my phone on the AT&T firmware, Knox did not trip.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
You should be fine and no trip Knox. Check this out if you already haven't.

It's about flashing the U firmware but then it's rootable by this method.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stale_Wafflz:
The root itself does not trip knox, but installing Xposed modules will.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
Since when? I don't use Xposed on my S7 since it does everything i need it to with just root and v15 fix. I've read most of the problems that occur with the entire process usually start after installing Xposed.....so I steered away from beginning. Plus there are a couple roms (Echoe, stang5litre) that do fine. But I have not heard about it tripping knox ever??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] t12icky0:

How would someone go about executing it on this phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] margentieri:
Slightly off topic, but any idea if Magisk (and then also systemless Xposed installed as a Magisk module) will trip Knox?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] drfsupercenter:
It'll brick you entirely. Only way to fix is to use ODIN to flash stock

Magisk requires an unlocked bootloader, which we don't have. :(

If anyone DOES know a way to get the SafetyNet check to pass, please let me know, but as far as I can tell it's not possible.

I did want to mess with trying to do a systemless root using the engboot kernel but will need some help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] margentieri:
Aww booo. I was just getting to love Magisk on my old (and now lost) device too! Damn, that sucks! Thanks for letting me know!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] drfsupercenter:
Yeah, I tried it and got "unable to boot" because of SecureBoot blocking the modified image Magisk makes.

So you can install it, but as soon as you reboot you'll be bricked... don't try it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
Are you sure you have correct firmware version for your phone? You need to have same version or higher. If you were on a later version then you can't go back anymore only forward if you want to return completely stock. Also you could try one of the other Odins. There's like three of them. You could also try one of the custom roms (Echoe, stang5litre) if you're just unhappy with your current root.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
Make sure your selecting the correct download button on the link. If I remember correctly sometimes there's click ads and malware on some of these download sites. It's also suppose to be a zip file so you need to unzip first and maybe your zip ware is not working properly. Maybe also Google around for another download link.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ninestarkoko:
I was searching explanations about the root success on gS7 locked BL devices dm-verity protected and found your very complete post. Thanks!

For precise information, on Xperia devices exploitation and temporary root accces was needed only to backup a special DRM partition that gets erased on unlocking BL (so that it can be restored for warranty purposes).

Infact, apart from rare cases, bootloaders on Xperia line can be officially unlocked receiving the fastboot code from Sony.

What would be interesting is if anyone can use Android exploits (like the latest Dirtycow, Quadrooted,...) to make them work with SuperSu in order to get root access for apps (excluding advanced mods like xposed or /system modification, obviously) after boot.

This would be interesting for many people out there with carrier locked bootloaders. Better than nothing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] captainclutch96:
Can you link me to the thread? I'm having an issue with my ATT S7 Edge (SM-G935A) trying to flash stock firmware to the phone.

On ODIN it says "model dismatch FAIL"

On boot mode it says "E:failed to mount '/system' (invalid argument)

Or if you can help here, that would be fantastic.

Thanks in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] FilthyFord:
Model mismatch means you are trying to flash incorrect firmware for the phone. Double check your firmware. If you are trying to flash a later version than what is on your phone it will tell you that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
By later you mean older, correct? Just want to clarify for anyone reading. If the firmware is same version or newer then it should flash successfully, correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] FilthyFord:
Yes older. My bad. You can flash the same or newer but now days you cant barley ever flash older firmware.

One does exist for 5.1.1. But unfortunately the device is a replacement that came with MM :-/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SinisterDev:
Hey, sorry to be one of those people, but I wanted to ask if a stable root method has been developed for the G935A? I started following some of these threads waaaaay back when the Engboot root was first discovered. I also had tried flashing the G935U firmware back then, and that went poorly. So i flashed everything back to stock and figured Id just wait it out for a few months and see what develops.

So i got back on today and started perusing through the forums and It seems like there has been significant progress for certain variants of the S7. There is ALOT to look through and catch up on. Can anyone tell me if there is now a stable root for my AT&T S7 Edge, and if so, kindly point me in the right direction on the forum?

Is this method still viable for the standard (not Edge) variant on AT&T? I will be picking one up soon, and I don't have time to read through 118 pages to see if after all OTAs it is still functional. In my past experience, there were certain OTAs that would cripple previous exploits for root capability.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
I've been keeping up with this thread and as far as I can tell you're good to go with root method. You should also check here and flashfire v15 fix at a minimum after root.bat. The one for 'any samsung galaxy s7'.

Yeah, there's a single-boot method. It works for as long as you keep your phone on. After a reboot, you lose root. I don't necessarily reboot often, but applying a given process every time I restart would be a PITA.

Knox isn't tripped but Sammy knows you rooted because of the custom flags. Meaning no Samsung pay. Using SuperSU unroot provided no work around. As for reserving to stock after a root, I'm guessing it will not work because of the custom flag. Not the KNOX.
