Yeah reciecing OTAs with flashing back the stock recovery.

I think i'll go for the normal root way :) Thank you :*
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] profi_fahrer:
You can also download a new Firmware (with the new OTA) and Flash it via FlashFire. This method is systemless, and I don't know a normal root mehtod for Android 7. Maybe CF-AutoRoot will Root normal, but this is not ready for Android 7 yet.

my phone is at android 6.0.1 if i use this guide will it upgrade to nougat and get rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] profi_fahrer:
No, this Guide is not going to work at 6.0.1.

You can use CF-Auto-Root at 6.0.1

Hi mates. I rooted my Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F) in the normal way (non systemless). After that i want to test my cam but both of them stoped working. When i flash the firmware again without root the cameras are working. Can anyone tell me what i did wrong?

Thx
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] profi_fahrer:
How did you managed to root not systemless?

For my Phone both cams are workinh fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlackPanter85:
I flashed TWRP, erased Data partition, restart RWRP, flashed 2.79 supersu, restart in system and disabled notifications of klms agent.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] profi_fahrer:
Strange. I think, your Phone should be systemless Rooted, but maybe i'm wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlackPanter85:
Solved my problem with little help from [MENTION=7600062]profi_fahrer[/MENTION] :good:

I installed the wrong 2.79 supersu. Now it's running like a charm :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jul_ch:
Hello, since we have no OTA updates when rooted and we need to erase data to get root (according to this thread): do we need to erase the phone every time we update to keep being rooted (1x per month)!? Is there no normal/easy way without erasing data??

Sorry, I did not understand the system less vs other root explanation before.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] profi_fahrer:
Yes, you can flash an OTA with FlashFire. The /data Partition won't be modyfied and you only need to root again. (Flash SuperSU)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] fma965:
I don't believe that's right as we get dm-verity error
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] profi_fahrer:
dm-verity is stored at the /data partition. This partition is modyfied by SuperSU, to not activate dm-verity.

Unfortunately no, because the /data Partition is encrypted.

Maybe am being pedantic about this but i just dodged a bullet... would like to be on the safe side ?

Thanks

I'm new to this so please help me out. Thanks

Edit: i just did this. flashed super su and then systemless base and s health is working. thank you so much .

Are there a lot of advantages to rooting an S7?

Last phone I rooted was s4 which I rooted so that I could use killermobile's phone call recording app (root recording mode). Also used exposed to mess with snapchat app but those are probably patched already. What are you powerusers doing on your phones with root? Just curious if it is worth it. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] profi_fahrer:
First flash the SuperSU, then the systemless devbase. Then reboot.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tomesiek:
Hi everybody

I'm ready to upgrade and root, but please can anybody say if this features/app will work with root:

SHealth - according info on first page this thread need to install Systemless Devbase,

Android Paid - thinking that I can use Magisk and switch off root when not needed,

and is possible to hide switch off root when not needed for example when I'm using banking app.

What else not working with root on Nougat ??

basically I need root only for adblock and some modification on /system/csc/others.xlm

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] profi_fahrer:
SHealth - works with the Systemless Devbase

Android Pay - won´t work because Knox is 0x1
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tomesiek:
On MM 6.0.1 works with Knox 0x1 - I'm using with Suhide

Is something change on Nougat and now Android Pay not works if knox is tripped ??

What about private mode - that's works with root ??

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] profi_fahrer:
On my Phone Android Pay isn't woking, bacause of Knox. Maybe I have modyfied any important data.

I can't say anything about private mode, but the secure folder also does not work.

Do it carefully.

I rooted using this method. Is anyone effectively ad blocking? I think the hosts file is in data partition? Adaway isn't even seeing root. I can't stand seeing ads after the upgrade as I've never had a phone that displayed ads, dang they're annoying and lucky patcher restarts the phone :(

Edit: got the latest adaway, works now

Thank you for your time
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] marcviado:
Did you even read the 1st post on this thread? All your answers are on the 1st post. And the fact that you had to post on here and then start a new thread shows I highly doubt you did "reading" for 2 days looking for answers.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paul harries:
Ok my apologies as i said and yes i read it and 100s of others. please dont judge me and presume that im ignorant. I have pretty much been sat at a laptop for the last 24 hours with 2 hours sleep. I did say sorry at the beginning. you may live and breath phones and computers, but its all alien to me and im trying to get to grips with it. obviously biting of more than i can chew. You may not believw it but yesterday was first time ever to use a forum, again sorry if i offended you not knowing threads and posts.

All you had to say was everything i need is in first post. You should know that presumption is the mother of all f..........

SORRY

I'm undecided to root this phone as I found the process to be a bi scaring.

I have been reading th OP and in the root steps 1 to 12 does not mention where to use the file "no-verity-opt-encrypt - Optional"

What is this for exactly and in which point of the root process should be used?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] pablo2002:
Great job my friend !! Thanks a lot !!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] wu2:
Worked fine on SM-g930F. Thank you !
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killer333:
Good choice bruh.

You've more fear. It is much better that you stay on the official stock ROM without root :) :good:.

Thank you for pointing out that.

no-verity-opt-encrypt is included in the latest super su build. So that is not needed ;).

Those who are familiar with rooting and those who've rooted their phone from MM build can easily understand. That's why I didn't include that. I should've mentioned that point in OP.

I think it is confusing some people. I'll remove it from OP.

Have a great day :).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Djuganight:
thank you for your reply although I could not understand if that was a real advice or if you were being ironic....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jkeuclid:
First off, my thanks to the OP and his efforts for this thread. Secondly, I've been out of the channels here for quite a bit of time and now have ordered and will take delivery of a G930F tomorrow. My question, any advantages in using this method vs that of Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] profi_fahrer:
CF-Auto-Root isn't working for Android 7 yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jkeuclid:
Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killer333:
Dont take it in that way.

I mean it positively. If you are on the stock without root, you can enjoy all the features given by samsung and no need to worry about anything.

Once you root your phone, you can do many things.

But man, you always want to tweak your device, try new ROMs or try something new etc etc. Its like anxiety.

And sometimes you may endup with a bricked device due to those experiements.

So, unless you are ready for anything/everything, you should not root your phone.

Hope you get it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jkeuclid:
I'm curious on something,

Regarding "3. If you want root with most of the things working: Use this method only after flashing the Official firmware through odin."

I don't use Knox, I disable it and turn off any instances of it and I use Triangle Away. Someday I'd like to try Samsung Pay but for now have no need for it, as for Snapchat I couldn't care less at this time, so having said all that, it's all moot anyhow since there isn't a US release of Nougat firmware anyhow from what I've read thus far?

From what I read on the Super Stock Kernal, this seems like a good way to go, and this SYSTEMLESS DevBase would be something I'd be interested in trying but my question is can these two coexist? I'm not really interested in running any custom ROMS at this time, just straight up root, Ti BU, Viper4Android, things of that nature with possibly the Super Stock Kernel but would like to hear about which way to proceed as in swiping and allowing system modding or otherwise, thanks everyone.

One more thing, I'm going to assume this will also work with TWRP 3.1.0.0?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jkeuclid:
Question, why is it that we deselect "Auto Reboot", isn't this what we want? Also, the instructions for going into download mode in the beginning of the OP are incorrect or perhaps an oversight but you need to press all 3, Vol-, Home and Power simultaneously to enter download mode.

I managed to get to the TWRP screen and got to step#8, so now I transferred the SU zip to the phone and at step#10, it's showing the "Reboot" Install TWRP App?"

I probably fubar'd step#8 but got to the install of SU in a roundabout way, now awaiting it to finalize, will post back soon...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killer333:
You can try anyway. You can select or deselect.

If you select auto reboot, you have to be very quick in pressing the Vol Up+Home+Power key to enter into the TWRP while it reboots. TWRP Recovery is a small file. Flashing and rebooting happens in a matter of seconds. If you miss for a second, then the chances are you've to flash the TWRP again :p or You may endup with a bricked device :cyclops:

If you deselect Auto Reboot, you can do the 5th step whenever you want to and swapping between Vol down and Vol up is very easy.;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jkeuclid:
Thanks [MENTION=7258088]Killer333[/MENTION], understood on the no auto-reboot, makes sense and I'm 5x5 now, many thanks!

btw, good video here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2rUfsoBkgE

that mirrors what's in your instructions but at the 3:28 mark, he installs a no-verity-opt-encrypt file, I presume this is contained in the SR3 SU or TWRP?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killer333:
Yes. Its already included in SuperSu. Thats why I've removed that step.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Djuganight:
I think you should remove the reference from your first post. This will reduce confusion

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] maddada:
You didn't wipe your phone. TWRP won't see your internal storage partition until you wipe it by going to wipe -> format data -> writing yes.

On 6.0 you could get root by flashing CF-Auto-Root and that didn't wipe your device, but currently there isn't a way on nougat to get root or twrp working without wiping.

I just had to go through wiping again because I disabled OEM unlock/developer options by mistake and rebooted.

How I kept most of my app data was:

1- Using helium to backup app data.

2- Using app backup restore to backup all the apks (helium doesn't back up many apps and will keep giving errors, just backup the really important ones.

3- Many apps have a backup and restore option in their settings, I used this to backup all the settings of the most important apps.

And ofcourse after you do that move everything important to your external sdcard as your internal storage will be wiped.

you'll only have to wipe once, and twrp will always work (unless you odin flash a stock firmware for some reason).

note to everyone:

After you root, please never disable developer options or the OEM unlock option, it'll cause you to not be able to boot anymore until you flash a stock firmware using Odin.
