Installed. Opened, and it forced closed and said application requires ROOT. I guess somehow I don't have root? I don't know how.. Supersu is still asking me to update though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cuezaireekaa:
If you didn't root properly thtst will happen. Start process over.

For future reference, you can update SuperSU in store and when it wants to install binaries just let it. It will fail but when u reboot it won't bother you again. It's been test but not always guaranteed to work with future releases.

But first you have to root correctly.

Edit : it could be possible that you're just not giving the application enough time for the Superuser pop up to show up

Well does the "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE]" seem normal to you? It looked out of place to me. What else can I do at this point?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cuezaireekaa:
Odin your latest firmware. And start the process over and make sure adb is working correctly.

Or use minimal adb

But yes you can update SuperSU in the store and stay rooted.

First-Check this guys video maybe.. he uses a slightly different approach. Easy root . 'sall I got if you're following directions to a tee

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] psouza4:
This warning is safe to ignore. Essentially you already have the SuperUser APK installed and it won't install/downgrade over it unless it's a higher version #. This message isn't indicative of a failure to install root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dk6640:
It must have to do with the:

C:\Program Files (x86)\ADB>adb install -r SuperSU-v2.74-2.apk

Okay, I am just bogged out of my mind right now then lol. Any idea why my root is failing? Something basic that I am forgetting maybe? And that happened even on the very first try when I rooted...and I know i didn't have supersu then.

Check my guide which is in the Verizon subforum, but most of it is carrier unspecific (and I point out which parts are Verizon-specific and which aren't). It goes through a lot of point of failures, such as possibly USB debugging not enabled, the device not authorized, secure boot enabled, etc.

I seem to be having a problem. Downloaded the Odin.rar and attempted to run the exe inside, and seem to have gotten malware. Chrome stopped working, Defender was disabled, and upon reboot, other programs are placed on my desktop. Currently doing a system restore to hopefully fix my computer, but I would very much like to root my device.

Is there any one else that's experienced this? Did I download the wrong file somehow? A thread search for "malware" gave me nothing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dk6640:
You may have clicked the wrong download button. Make sure you click the green one with no ads.

Hate when sites have multiple "Download" buttons. The restore just finished and is booting back up now, I'm try again once it's up

---------- Post added at 08:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 AM ----------

It was actually the green ones I clicked before. I noticed this time around they should've been .zip files, but the green buttons were .rar

The blue buttons got me the right files this time, and am about to start the root process. Wish me luck!

Using a MetroPCS S7

EDIT: Put the phone into download mode and flashed the .tar file to AP. After booting, the phone has been stuck at the MetroPCS boot logo for about 5 minutes. I'm assuming this isn't the point at which I would continue, seeing as how I need to ensure USB Debugging is enabled.

An hour later, and it still won't boot. I've tried reflashing a few times and running Odin as administrator. I get the same logs from Odin as before, but it doesn't seem to want to work. I need my phone back up and running, so in the meantime I'm downloading the stock firmware files from SamMobile website. Unfortunately that'll take another 2 hours.

Hopefully somebody can figure it out for MetroPCS. Since it's supposed to be identical to the T-Mobile version, I thought it would work (saw someone confirm TMo working somwhere in thread)

EDIT:

Let me check on this

EDIT:

Followed the directions there. Even used their provided programs and files. Got the same result after flashing.

Most people use some form of AdBlock that hides all their ads. mirrors all of the files in this thread at my AWS S3 server and most of the guide is carrier unspecific.

First, and this is going to sound kind of jerk-ish, but if you're a total noob, you may want to reconsider going any further without a backup plan. Do you have stock images you can Odin back in case you brick your phone? Second, if you don't care and want to proceed into danger, follow [url=http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/how-to/how-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039]my guide under 'recommended next steps (generic/non-Verizon)' which will help you fix the odd WiFi issue, battery/CPU issues, and install Xposed.

Im stuck in a bootloop :'(. I don't know how to get out.

Last time I tried this and got stuck in a bootloop, I ran the sh file inside the uninstaller [after adb pushing it to my device]. However this time there isnt gunzip. So I followed a guide that informed me of the files I need to delete and move back (.backup files) but this did not succeed :(

Advice?

I almost feel the same. I have never in all my years of internetting ever seen a more pathetic display of people not being able to search or just read the thread. I have my phone set to alert me with any updates to these threads because there is a lot of good information being posted. I am getting over 80 updates over night and it seems 79 of them are asking questions that were literally answered 3 replies above. It is truly disgusting. It seems most of these people want to be spoon fed the answers rather than just reading. Out of all the phones I've owned I'd seriously say this is probably the EASIEST one I've ever rooted. I would not vote to have any of these threads closed due to some people posting quite useful mods/hacks but for anyone watching this thread like I do, please stop replying to people asking the same questions over and over again. The answers are ALL right there just look for them!

It's not doing it for me. I did adb logcat (grep " F ") and its throwing the same error every 3-4 seconds. (boy is it long). It has to do with the files listed here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58964632&postcount=2262 . Looking at the stacktrace, it may be libart.so and dex2oat . However I checked ownership and rights after extracting the backup from the gz. No go.

I have been a lurker on this forum for a very long time, it has helped me do many things to many different Android devices. I finally decided to register today because of this thread alone. Rooting my S7 Edge following this thread was a success the first go round. This thread and the 935U firmware thread has enabled me to successfully change a 935V into a fully functional 935A but on 935U firmware. I have supported chainfire and many other developers for a long time through buying apps that they develop. I just wanted to say thank you. Remember, nothing is impossible.

AT&T G935AUCU1APB5 Original Firmware or G935AUCS2APF2 June Update Stock Firmware

I'm on a stock AT&T S7 Edge on G935AUCU1APB5 boot-loader/firmware out of the box never rooted, If I do root and want to revert, If I

Odin back to stock, does it have to be the original out of the box G935AUCU1APB5 firmware or can I flash G935AUCS2APF2 June

Update Stock Firmware? The reason why I'm asking this is because I just upgraded from an AT&T I337 Galaxy S4, and we had to be

sure that when we flashed a stock firmware it had to mach the original locked boot-loader, in other words, if I was on a MK2 boot-loader could only flash MK2 boot-loader and if I upgraded OTA to an NB1 boot-loader I couldn't flash back to MK2 original boot-loader was stuck on NB1. Could only flash NB1 firmware.

If anyone can confirm this based on your actual flashing experience would highly appreciate. Would like to flash the PF2 Updated

firmware successfully if I do go back to stock. Thanks in advance.
