Lost your exynos s7 root? here is how to get it back - Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion

if you are like me you already realized that running odin again to install, CF-Auto-Root-herolte-heroltexx-smg930f.zip won't do anything.
1) put SuperSu zip file somewhere on your phone (https://download.chainfire.eu/964/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip)
2) you will need to reinstall twrp-3.0.2-1-herolte.img.tar via odin AP but don't auto reboot (https://dl.twrp.me/herolte/twrp-3.0.2-1-herolte.img.tar.html)
3) manual reboot and IMMEDIATELY go into recovery by holding down the magically combination. if you missed it then you will have to do step 2 again.
4) once in recovery install supersu zip from step 1 and you will get root back
should work for s7 edge (935) too but you will need to use the correct files
hope that help

nice thread, but can i flash a recovery via recovery?, because my usb port wont work :\
nwm found it!

i tried, but still cannot get root back.

OP has missed one step.
You have to flash boot.img from official samsung firmware through TWRP(if you have TWRP installed) or you can install through odin. Make sure that your build number matches with firmware file. You have to do this before you are going to reinstall TWRP. After flashing boot.img file you will stuck in bootloop don't get panic. Flash supersu along with encryption disabled file attached in link. Then boot into android. You would definitely see supersu along with superuser script installed. No you have root access. Cheers

Get from sammobile.com
U can download any samsung firmware from there. You will have to just search your device name to show the relevant builds. Makes sure that your build number (on your phone settings-->About-->build number ) is same as the file you are going to install

How to root LP 5.1.1 with New system-less SuperSU 2.6.X

Hi all,
I just finished testing the new method of rooting using new SuperSU system-less and it's working well on my P600. I don't have other device to test it on, but if you guys could test it out on your device and report back, that would be nice.
Here how to root using new SuperSU system-less app:
Prep:
1) Download Odin 3.09 http://odindownload.com/Samsung-Odin/#.Vm3AglE1I-Q
2) Download SuperSu version 2.6.2 to your SDcard here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64161125&postcount=3
3) Download TWRP 2.8.7.0 tar file to your PC here https://dl.twrp.me/lt03wifiue/ (you must use Spen to navigate, touch won't work)
For P605 - Please use twrp-2.8.7.0-lt03ltexx-4.4.img.tar version here https://dl.twrp.me/lt03ltexx/
4) Download the full stock 5.1.1 firmware by download this tool to your PC from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Then use the tool to download 5.1.1 rom (very fast download). set model=sm-p600, region=XAR, put a check in "Auto" and "Decrypte automatically"
Execcution:
1) Use Odin to flash full factory rom 5.1.1 to your device with "Auto Reboot" checked. If you already using 5.1.1 with root, you can just flash over your current one. Your data will be preserved. It's not nessessary to flash the full firmware but it's easier and less confuse. Once completed your device will reboot. Now boot back to download mode.
2) Use Odin to flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 with "Auto Reboot" UNchecked. Once completed. Hold Vol up+Home+power buttons to boot to TWRP recovery(do not let your device boot up). It will take a while so just wait. You also will see a red message warning about SEdroid security..blah blah...just ignore it. If you want TWRP touch, you can flash this version zip (can't flash through ODIN) before proceed. https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/Joshndroid/TWRP/lt03wifi
3) Once in TWRP, flash the SuperSU 2.6.1 system-less. Becareful here, after hit REBOOT, If TWRP offered to root, DO NOT DO IT (You will bootloop if you miss this step). Hit on "do not install". Your device will reboot. Done!! This SuperSU will patch your kernel and install root. Once completed boot up and enjoy. Your system is now rooted with TWRP installed. Pretty nice!!
EDIT: You also need to disable "Security change" pop up by remove or use Titanium to disable "Security policy updates" and "SecurityLogAgent". I heard report that if you don't your device may bootloop later on.
@joshndroid made his own version of twrp 2.8.7 which has full touch support/recognition (not just the s-pen). Here is the link:
https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/Joshndroid/TWRP/lt03wifi Maybe could you put this version in the OP as another option instead of the official twrp?
Guys, a question. Can i use the exynos version of TWRP, ie- lt03wifiue, on my SM-P601, which is also the exynos one, but with 3G support.?
Thanks.

Good point, I didn't notice that, however we could flash the official twrp with odin, and then we could flash joshndroid's twrp from the official twrp. So could you add that to the op?

Did you install supersu from the playstore and did it ask to update binaries? I can't remember when I did mine if it asked or not. I don't have any su issues with mine.
Flash firm doj3 with odin
Reboot in bootloader
Flash twrp with odin
Reboot in twrp
Flash supersu 2.61
Reboot.
Kernel seem to be patched (red warning message), Supersu app is present with no binarie update needed.
Reboot in twrp and Flash xposed wanam mod
Result:
Titanium Backup: ok
Rebooter app: nok
Freeze after 2 mins: have to hard reboot, again and again.
So, I flash again with odin and use the old method (boot patched)
how do i uninstall twrp?

Flash a different recovery, either with twrp or odin. Why do you want to remove twrp?
Done and completed
twrp not working correctly, it did previously, but after the update, it doesn't.

Hmm - I've Odin'd the new XAR v.5.1.1 just fine, but when I try to Odin TWRP 2.8.7/6/3, they all fail in Odin 3.09. I've tried multiple times with same result. Any suggestions?

I sure did, and should've been clearer. I'm running 5.1.1 XAR that I Odin'd yesterday. USB debugging is enabled, and Odin tries/fails when trying to load up to 4 versions of TWRP that I've tried. Further, I get corrupted firmware after it tries, and have to reinstall v5.1.1 (if that tells those much smarter than I anything)

Can you try to boot int recovery to see if you can access stock recovery? Possible you need to do format storage?

Also a noob with a SM-G900W8
Also am a noob, tried a few links. got stuck in bootloops.
What is a guaranteed root method so i dont have to flash stock or format again?
Same model as what he asked about.
Could u supply step by step directions please?
Either flash this with ODIN
http://download.chainfire.eu/406/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-kltecan-kltevl-smg900w8.zip
Or if that causes a bootloop,
Copy SuperSU to your Micro SDcard / Phone storage
flash TWRP with ODIN, but uncheck "Auto Reboot" first
When it finishes flashing, pull the battery to power off the phone
Replace battery
Boot immediately into recovery and flash SuperSU
Reboot to rooted Android
I already tried flashing that one and it caused bootloops or frozen at bootup.
Where can i download the TWRP that youre suggesting to flash?
And where can i find a confirmed download for SuperSU?

New update to fix voLTE 911 bug...

So this morning I got an update to fix the voLTE bug. I'm unlocked with twrp installed and rooted. Just for the sake of experimenting I tried installing it. Well that didn't work. Just gets stuck in twrp recovery and you have to power the phone off completely to get it to boot. I guess my question (even though it's a little early) is there a way to install the update without reverting back to stock?
EDIT: Link to the zip
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxqNotAWlwLUQ1Fzcjc2YXd4QzA
I don't believe so.
In the past you either had to go back to stock or wait on someone to create a compatible update for rooted devices.
Can you post link to zip?
If you are rooted, you can find the zip in cache folder in recovery.
Can you add what variant and build you are using before the update? Also the build afterwards?

I have the XT1687 model.
My current build number is NPN25.137-35
My device BL unlocked, TWRP installed and rooted with magisck.
I'm getting the update notification and splash screens several times daily.

If you have systemless supersu, you should just be able to apply the update after reverting to stock recovery.
So I found where the zip downloads. I wonder what flashing it in twrp would do?

OK, so I tried flashing recovery.img from stock firmware build 33. But the OTA update will not install, instead I get an error after downloading and rebooting (red triangle at recovery mode).
So I tried fully reverting to stock firmware but I decided to skip over erasing userdata. Afterward the OTA downloaded and installed successfully. Keeping userdata does not seem to have caused an issue.
My problem now though is how to get root back without having to wipe userdata after re-flashing TWRP.
Or is this not possible and if I want to root I must first wipe userdata so that TWRP can read internal memory?

Just tried flashing it with TWRP and no luck:
Verifying current system....
E3002: Package expects build thumbprint of 7.0/NPN25.137-35/37:user/release-keys or 7.0/NPN25.137-33/35:user/release-keys; this device has .
Updated process ended with ERROR: 7
which doesn't make much sense since I rooted the stock ROM (Build number reads NPN25.137-33).
If your using a custom recovery flash the stock recovery, then go to the stock recovery and using your computer flash using adb sideboard command. I assume you already know how to do this. Hope that helps.

I'm stuck in the same boat... no idea how to flash the stock recovery and sideboard, what that even means, or if that would break root. I just followed the step-by-step "how to root" video when I first got the phone
There's a workaround to disable the "advanced LTE" or whatever it was called, so I did that. But in the meantime until a more "user friendly" means of updating is available, is there a way I can get rid of this nag screen? Way back on an earlier device (Samsung Charge?) I remember manually editing a "build.prop" file or something to match the latest version so I wouldn't keep getting the software update nag. Is there something that will do the same here, or is there a system app I can freeze in TiB?
My best guess is freezing "Moto Actions 03.022.1.4-N" because it's showing "(updated)" on the side.

What he means is you need to download the stock rom, unzip it, then boot phone to bootloader mode and connect to PC. Then flash the recovery.IMG from the stock rom folder with command prompt:
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then you can on the phone tell it to boot to recovery mode. This will be a screen with Android on his back and the words NO Command on the bottom. Then plug to PC and use adb command to sideload the update zip like this:
adb sideload [nameofupdatefile].Zip

Strange, reflashed the stock recovery and adb can't see it (adb devices returns nothing). And when trying to install it via the normal OTA way, the stock recovery tries to install but ends with an error.
That's what happened to me when I tried reverting to stock recovery and then trying to install update from phone Settings app.
I ended up having to revert to stock rom to get ota to apply with settings app. But now I am trying to root again but after installing TWRP data is encrypted again. So looks like I will have to wipe data before re-rooting.

How to update firmware if you've already flashed TWRP

I figured out how to update after flashing twrp. Maybe obvious to some but I've seen questions about it.
The zip in the "Convert CA to WW" thread has the stock rom in a zip file. Open it and inside is a recovery.img file in it, extract it to your adb folder on your PC.
Download the firmware update from ASUS official site and save to the root of your sd card or internal storage (it will recognize both.)
Reboot into fastboot on your device.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
When that finishes reboot and your phone should find the update and ask if you want to install. Do so. You may need to power cycle first.
When you're done you can reflash TWRP.
Once you have TWRP you can flash Magisk or SuperSU as you see fit.
It's painless.
An old post from you, but thank you. This was really easy. I've spent 2 days trying to figure out how to upgrade without restore stock rom, boot etc. and lose all data. I was about to give up when I saw this post, I didn't expect it to work - to easy. But I could give it a try.
This was painless.
Then it took me 3 hours to figure out how to reinstall twrp again, it wasn't just to flash and reboot I had to boot directly into recovery after flash. But that is another story.
Thanks, you just saved me some time!

When you flash stock recovery and update you unroot, so you will get FOTA. Just update to Oreo and then flash twrp and Magisk (or whatever you use) again.
I am rooted and updated to Oreo then chose updates involving battery improvement and/or system stability (downloaded to external sd), after installed the last update I flashed twrp and rooted again.
You need to flash stock recovery before update. The phone will find the updated with custom recovery but update will fail.
The site I downloaded stock recovery from is down so you have to search for it, or download RAW stock rom and extract the recovery from it

Thanks! I ended up having to use the 11.41.87.2 recovery in order to flash a Nougat update - it wouldn't work with the older recoveries.

After the update, i flashed the patched boot.img using fastboot command. Assuming no modules are conflicting you should have a rooted device. The one module that created a problem for me was OOS NATIVE CALL RECORDING. Disabling it solved any issue.

How did u root on 11.0.8.8?
Do I have to repeat the process of downloading stock ROM, using payload dumper to get boot.img, patching it on magisk and flashing on fastboot?

What if i just uninstall magisk(unroot), download and install the update, download only the boot.img then patch and get root?
I am trying to avoid downloading whole stock rom because of the boot.img when i can just download it alone.

We only need the boot.img(correct one) to proceed with root no need to download the entire stock rom.
Where are you guys getting 11.0.8.8IN11AA? Full zip?
Nothing on Oxygen updater for me yet.
Hey guys, so I've installed the new OTA, then went to magisk, installed magisk to inactive slot, rebooted and now the only thing happening is boot logo spinning....
what to expect? ofc, i didn't do a backup beforehand...

Things like this makes me so cautious and ask so many questions. Hope you didnt soft brick your device?
Okay it worked out somehow, i was looking for a stock boot.img, and was gonna flash that to try and save it, but had trouble with my pc recognizing my oneplus in fastboot mode, so i pressed both vol up/down and power at the same time to while being connected with usb cable, to try and get into fastboot, then screen went black but my PC got some pop ups for recognizing a device with unavailable drivers, then i just press vol up and power after a minute of it being black, phone rebooted and it loaded past the booting animation into android... weird stuff worked out, even after a dozen reboots with hardware keys, even letting it spin the animation for an hour...
I'm never updating again ahahhah
edit: if you do update, make sure you disable all your magisk/xposed addons and some native os call recording module... thats what i learned while googling yesterday, and its something i did not do, that could of have possibly contributed to my headaches
What i ended up doing that worked was;
. Flash stock 11.0.7.7 boot.img to slot A & B to unroot the phone.
. Reboot and install the ota update. I had no magisk modules to uninstall.
. After updating i downloaded the stock boot.img for 11.0.8.8 then patched and flashed to get rooted again.
Its a longer process but quite safer for me.
It's the same on each firmware, providing you have the full update available to you.
Use oxygen updater and grab the full update, download and install but don't Reboot.
Open Magisk send install after OTA.
Then reboot.
If you're unable to grab the full update then probably best to update then boot lineage recovery and sideload Magisk.zip using lineage recovery, then flash and you're done.
Could someone post boot img I can't find this 11.8.8 to download.
Thanks.

Same here please, cant find the 11.0.8.8.IN11AA anywhere.
If 8.8AA is in oxygen updater (full update)
Then make your own, using someone else's comes with inherent issues and risks.
It's good practice to make your own.
