ROOT THREAD! It's here!

[JAYNO20]

Just followed these directions and I have root on my Verizon Galaxy S7

http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/root-s7-att-g930a-g935a-t3410538

Currently flashing (via flashfire) Xposed framework

What's the update? You get xda on there? I don't trust an att root for my verizon phone.

 

[JAYNO20]

I never took any OTA's on my phone. This is PB1. I haven't seen any glitches with it yet. YMMV.

Did you get g935 or g930?

title says all

I can confirm successful root on Verizon Galaxy S7 on their most recent/latest OTA G930VVRU2APE1 using these steps. Naturally, you use the G930x file @brandon110 (the G935x is for Edge variants).

Question for you....

ODIN sees my phone, drivers are installed, device shows up under CMD adb devices. When I try and run AP file it says failed in ODIN. Is there something IM missing to this process?

Thanks

 

[JAYNO20]

Are you in download mode?

Are you in download mode?

Nope sure wasn't! Thanks, feel like a noob all over for that question.

Still having same issue in DL mode...fails in ODIN even though it is recognized.

You may have the wrong version of ODIN. There's a variant made by PrinceComsy that bypasses the hash check to allow the flash.

Specifically, you want this version:
http://d-h.st/gsDA (Odin3 v3.12/PrinceComsy)

You also want ONE of these rooted boot images:
http://d-h.st/o3hm (any Galaxy S7)
http://d-h.st/kDWz (any Galaxy S7 Edge)

Make sure you grab the right version.

He shouldn't need that for the Verizon variant. That was only for AT&T and I was able to flash the boot file with the current version of Odin (not the one posted in that thread.)

g930vvru2ape1


Rebooted device..tried again...success!

Thanks guys

I just flashed the most recent PE1 build just so I'm as up to date as possible and re-rooted it again. Very simple root and it seems to work quite well. I have missed root.

Malicious, malicious ODIN link. Shame on you.

I tried this and my phone got stuck on the Verizon logo. Held down the buttons to go back into download mode, and powered off. The blue LED is staying on, even when "powered off". I think a lot of these files are bad. There were adware in them.

Nope, I downloaded and used every file in the link just fine.

I summarized and re-linked everything in my topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039

Sounds like you've got something else going on :/

I got it to work. But those links are full of ads and adware.

Glad you good it working. I'd run through Adblock... didn't see any ads here. Maybe the files should be moved to another host.

Anyone else getting a weird VoLTE icon on the status bar?

It tells me to turn off adblock before I can even access the page. dev-host is the worst site to put files on.
