Possible root? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

This method is for the chinse version of our phones... but i figured they are snapdragon so there components are their same? I know tmobile and sprint have the same parts and everything so maybe this will work. Its a recovery file and i will be trying it as soon as possible.

Unfortunately the problem with the S7 is the root method.

[Q] root for latest android 4.3 update?

I recently received the ota 4.3 update for my at&t gs4, but I've been dying to try cyanogen mod on my phone or at least be able to remove a little bloatware. Could anyone point me to a tutorial somewhere to root this thing if it's possible yet? I do have a little experience with flashing roms and rooting with my old samsung replenish, but only with odin... thanks.
-EDIT Also is kingo really malware like many people on xda say? And does kingo work with the new MJ9 build for AT&T's S4?
If you have a little experience flashing Roms than you'll be experienced in the art of Google search. There are many threads about this already

Works the same for att even though its for verizon. Same root method but beware it could add malicious stuff to your phone and computer. Do a little researching first before you do anything. Good luck

And even when your rooted there is still no custom recovery for 4.3...so no rom flashes are possible

Thanks for the link to the tutorial. I've been looking stuff up about vroot and apparently it contains some sort of trojan... I also read a comment on YouTube where someone with the at&t MJ9 build had success with it but what are the risks other than bricking?

The article says that in step 6 you will end up rooted with the bootloader unlocked. Can anybody confirm that this does indeed unlock the bootloader on the att note 3?

I JUST got my G-Note 3 Flashed, at a Local Device Center, with 4.4.2. Kingo Root would NOT root it.
Towelroot made quick work of it. Good Stuff.
Bootloader remains locked (of course).
It works just fine i use this on my ATT S5

Question about BOG5

If my buddy got a refurbished and it's version 5.0.1 BOG5, it can't be rooted and unlocked? Or can it? searching with no luck. All the guides don't say what version it is.

Thanks,
I updated my guide HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...bilized-process-to-unlock-bootloader-t3375527 to say N910VVRU2BPA1 but I think, at this time, it will work with any version. HOWEVER, Future OTA updates may block this exploit.

Well after I bricked mine from a bad Rom install and no back up would work. I didn't want to mess with a phone that wasn't mine. I was to frustrated. Now I know it is possible and after getting sleep I'll probably do it this week.

I'm not 100% sure but you may be able to find older firmware on Sammobile. The phone only a couple of months old and there is only 1 or 2 updates.

S7 Edge Root Texting

All,
I have tried the fixes and the BS Free ROM for my GS7 Edge while rooted and nothing seems to fix the issue with receiving texts while the screen is off. Making a call to kickstart the sms service is the only way that works. Does anyone know of a more tried and true method to fix this problem? Thanks in advance.
