I have an S7 Edge running Nougat 935A. I did all that the post stated to do.. everything in CMD seemed to work fine.. phone rebooted and I had SuperSU, Flashfire, and sEFix apps on my phone.. when I open any of the three of them, it states they don't have root access..

S7_Oreo_Nougat_Adb_Advanced_Root_V11.zip Recommended Root Zip

This zip gives you the option to install some cpu tweaks and will also. Install the entropy tweak that the SEFix app does. The tweak sets entropy to high by default I also include the SEFix app if you want to change the settings.

S7_Oreo_Su_Binary_Only_ADB_Root.zip Alternative Root Zip

This root zip is only for oreo an only installs the su binary to the system/xbin folder giving you root privelages it has no tweaks and does not change the fstab.qcomn file to remove dm-verity and system file encryption. There is no SuperSU app installed either but you will have root privelages.

Sorry for the dumb question - but does the alternative root give u root access without the wipe? I want to root mine and try keep everything as is - also can I switch to the V11 if i want to? Also - will the samsung backup be able to restore after rooting (before I disable it)? or shd i use a better 3rd party app?

Mines an ATT Oreo - also does the android pay work with this rom?

Oreo Updates

Thanks to everyone for the root ability. I read through all 105 pages - whew! I wanted to get this right the first time but stumbled. I do need some clarification. I was on Oreo Verizon stock where Oreo was updated at least twice. I am not sure what the Oreo update version was but the phone auto dowloaded updates. I tried to root using the OP instructions but it failed several times. I suspected maybe root could not be achieved on updated Oreo versions? So, I went back to stock Verizon Oreo. Then I was able to root but I used the alternative method for the root. I have root which is good news. However, I tired to do an Oreo update. It downloaded the update but the update failed with a ! and a yellow triangle.

So, does this mean with this root method you cannot apply the updates? Is there a method whereby you can temporarily (easy method) unroot, apply updates, and then root back?

Oreo magisk

Is there any way to switch to Magisk from SU on oreo?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] mwyarm:
I was not familiar with Magisk until I read online that it substitutes the SU on the device and allows for what I was looking for as a simple method to root and unroot. In my case at this time it is simply to get the Oreo updates but it has other functional ability. Although, I installed with the binary zip (post #1051) I am willing to go back and redo my root using the standard root zip file if indeed Magisk can work with that image which provides root for my snapdragon S7 edge. I was never able to get TWRP installed on my snapdragon device so installing Magisk with TWRP recovery does not sound feasible. I will never buy another device with a locked bootloader. I am now wiser.

I tried to use bluetooth and had the above issue, whereas on Nougat change the value ro.securestorage.support=false to ro.securestorage.support=true seemed to fix the issue, the line isn't on oreo, don't know if adding will fix the bluetooth issue, [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] do you have a solution to these?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Maxissc:
I suggest you to install Jrkruse's [Rom][VZW_CRI1][Stock_Oreo_PreRooted_Easy_Unroot/Root][Safestrap_Preinstalled] which runs in lastest verizon oreo with aug security patch, has good features, its easy to install, and even easier to root and unroot whenever you want

I dont think that's possible (i never cared of 'official' updates. i prefer to install them by odin)

No, for our locked bootloader phone -> SuperSU is the way

You can try adding it and tell us if it worked for you. I have lastest CRI1 and haven't had any bluetooth issues so far

I gave up on wanting to root my S7 AT&T...just too many issues. Selling it and moving to the Google Pixel 3 Unlocked version. Don't have to worry about the Wifi Calling, Tethering, HD Voice, etc...as its all confirmed to work, by several on Android Police, with this unlocked device...at least on AT&T's network (most likely because they don't sell the Pixel but allow it to be provisioned over for use on their network). See ya Samsung. Had enough of your stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] plof27:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] MrWhite0429:
Same here. I had to jump from Samsungs ship. The extreme amount of security and slowness on these devices was unbearable. However with that being said it is also a 2 year old device. In some aspects of today's technology that's considered ancient. I've also noticed a severe amount of crabbyness from devs and users alike when it comes to this device. All because both sides want options and features that are just simply not going to happen. No matter what tweaks and mods you do. Your S7 will always be slow and laggy when rooted. I jumped over to a pixel 2 xl and was rooted out of the box in less than ten mins, with a recovery and several roms to play with. All without sacrificing system and device speed.

Just a word to the wise here, rooting and enjoying your device shouldn't be this hard to achieve. Everyone in my opinion should ditch the S7/s7e and move on to a better device.

7 Edge Battery

(i exploded the battery trying to replace the screen. oops.) Mine died after a year and a half I did not mind giving up the five minutes of water resistance in lue of buying a new phone and still having half of the first one to pay for. I bought one on-line pretty cheap and replaced my battery. It is now 2.5 years old, mostly works good.

---------- Post added at 12:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 AM ----------

I will soon be buying a new phone, not so much because of the current phone not working great. One question about rooting, will this allow me to prevent the new google play protect policy from blocking aps I have purchased, one through the play store which now has been disabled mostly. It still runs but I cannot get into the app at all. Suddenly it has a password that I never set. Google also disabled my VPN on the NVidia shield, as well as Kodi. They state that ANY APP that is installed outside the play store will BE BLOCKED. and if they decide to pull an app from the play store, that pulls it from your phone as well. This rendered the NVIdia shield completely useless to be, I bought the recommended USB drive for it, and google has now disabled the USB drive, rather using a drive on the port. I had thought about the next phone being a European version since it seems that there are so many great features you can use that are not available on qualcomm chips. So my question here is, what would you all recommend for a new phone?

I have the S7 and the edge (daughter has the S7 right now) and when I get it back, I am gonna trying rooting to see if I can get my app to work. It is probably the best all blocking app I have even see, used it for several years now, and this is the 2nd time google has disabled it on me. Now I get tons of spam calls, very annoying. I have the apk, install it and when it finished, says app not installed. I am selling the NVidia shield?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
I have made a new root method that incorporates my unroot method into it and it can be flashed on any carriers (excepty sprint of course unless they are still v4 bootloader) and either variant of the S7 or S7 edge. It also contains temporary TWRP recovery, thats correct full TWRP recover that can be entered through adb. TWRP only works on fully on oreo and is very limited on nougat due to the data encryption issue so on nougat you are limited too stuff that only changes the system and not data as you cannot mount data without wiping it first. Oreo however it is fully working excepty mtp meaning your phone doesnt show up as a hard drive on your computer when in recovery but adb is functional in recovery. The root method still uses the crappy engboot with the same crapy lag but I have added back the systemless option in root for oreo that seems to execute startup scripts quicker so it may help. To root you simply enter TWRP and Flash a zip. I will post later today

First Time Rooter

I've jailbroken dozen of iPhones and iPods in highschool. It's been a few years now. But I am trying to root my Verizon GS7 Flat 8.0.. Proving to be difficult. I am unsure how to use odin?

I follow the Directions in the Command screen. It only recognizes my phone while NOT in download mode. I follow the directions all the way through to Reboot and finish. It reboots fine, everythings there. but nothing has changed?? And I did nothing in download mode and did nothing with ODIN. Am I missing a step? Am I forgetting to do something?? I appreciate what you do and would appreciate assistance. Thank you all!

Update: I read the instructions out loud and found my failure.. However, I cant get ODIN to flash to the phone. I found a similar issue on this thread, I am using the ODIN you provided. I switched cable, i restarted computer, I executed as administrator. Still i get the same "failure" none succeeded.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] SamGuy2020:
Try different USB ports

Make sure you're using an actual data transfer cable(not a charging cable) not usually stock works best.

Update or install Samsung mobile drivers

https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows

Another thing, go to Settings>About phone>Software information

Here look at baseband more particularly look at the last five digits, the first of these five digits is the bootloader loader version. If its 4 you're in the clear. If its 8 man you're just too late.

4CRI1 if it says this, this method will work however, and version above this has been patched against the method.

8CRJ3 if its this, well you will never root your phone most likey.

So just to be sure, I am coming from the Nougat from last year.

I can flash this with Flashfire correct?
