Verizon Root Guide (Knox still good)

[markwebb]

Well that escalated quickly lol

I'll start working on a tutorial now. Hope to have it posted by the end of today

Thanks so much but, seriously, no rush! It's the weekend.

Would love to know what you did

If you do get the time, I would appreciate a tutorial: I bought the new actual unlocked device so am kinda "itching" to root it. Am glad we can reflash original firmware if things go south as well.

That would be great, dude!

Done [emoji1]

I followed the steps and have all the problems associate with root. But SU is not working. Root checker shows app installed but no root access.

I have followed the steps 3 times now.

Any ideas?

That happened to me. I did afactory reset and re-did everything. Also got the files for Verizon gs7.
When I first did, I was using the the files from the AT&T when it was first talked about ect.

I used the files from this thread and it worked. I had the same issue which where using the AT&T files. For some reason I wasn't not rooted. Then I did a factory reset and files from this thread and I'm rooted.

Before I will make plans to root my phone sometime soon, has the issue with Samsung Pay not working while rooted been resolved yet?

You can use android pay still I believe..I don't have a card to set up but the app let's me open it where samsung pay does not.

Aw darn. It's pretty stupid that Android Pay doesn't accept a lot of cards, and Samsung Pay actually accepted one of my credit cards. I don't see why there isn't an Xposed mod that can be a workaround.

I discovered that as well but didn't actually try a real transaction.

Try safetynet app: it will alert you if Android or Samsung pay will work beforehand. The screen shot is of working rooted Nexus 6P.

I'm glad to see a Verizon root method has finally been achieved. Having upgraded from a rooted Droid Mini to a non-rooted 7 Edge a few months ago, I've been missing it something fierce.

However, when it comes to this stuff, I'm incredibly dumb. So, would someone mind giving me a complete, very dumbed-down/noob-friendly walkthrough for how to root and install xposed, including any fixes for all known issues and how to get the best performance out of it?

 

[dajmanjt]

Anyone who roots NEEDS to flash this fix zip. It cures tons of issues.

Android pay does work, I used it at about 6 places so far

You can with root, just not xposed.

So will this work with SM-G935V?
