In short, Pokemon GO's new update is just taking a massive dump on it's rooted supporters and we can't play the game on the new update. Would our root be able to hide it and allow it to played on our phones with root, still?
Rooted s7 edge.... Pokémon go running strong. No issue. App is up to date.

Are you on the new update with the buddy system? Cause the update didn't full rollout yet...
No, must not have rolled out in America. Are you running xposed?

Yeah I am, but I read somewhere that Magisk requires an unlocked bootloader, but I don't know if the Systemless portion is different.
Most people would say, forget the game, and keep root, but I'd like to keep both, as I've put a lot of time into the game to have this crappy company screw us like this...
If xposed and Pokémon is incredibly important to you I suggest trying the following. There's a work around for snap chat. Same scenario. You have to install and log into snap chat before installing xposed. Get it to build cache so it doesn't do the device check then install xposed. Profit. I'm not sure but it's worth a try.
I had it working then it ****ed my phone up couldn't get it again

The problem is that the new version of poGo is using the same SafetyNet check that Android Pay does to check for root.
Apparently, the only thing that works for this is Magisk (at the moment).
The latest Pokemon Go app is using SafetyNet checks, so this goes far beyond the Snapchat workarounds.
Ah. I wasn't aware don't have the update yet

Accurate.
So the question is can we flash magisk with flashf ire?
Or would something like rootcloak possibly work?
More and more every day I hate niansh*t and it feels like it's no different than if crapple themselves have made the app.

Root Cloak won't work. I tried that on 2 different Samsung phones :/
I'm on tekx rom and when I tried to unroot via SU my s7 edge would only boot into recovery... so I restored a backup.
It's awefully silly to keep rooted users from playing. Seems like they run out of ideas to find GPS spoofers lol
I have rooted my S7 Edge SM-G935F using chainfire-auto-root ODIN method
^ New Pokemon Go update does not work with this root method - I have used rootcloak from xposed - also does not work. You need to root using MAGISK so here is my question.
1. How do I unroot my phone that I rooted using ODIN Chainfire-Auto-Root file?
2. How do I root S7 Edge SM-G935F using "MAGISK" so i can play pokemon go after this new update?
has anybody tried rooting S7 Edge SM-G935F using MAGISK method yet? does it work? please reply and please give a guide or step by step i am a newb

I'm afraid I have to tell you that over on reddit the developer of magisk said that Samsung devices are only supported if they're on a "custom" kernel.
Although I don't know at which point a kernel stops being stock :/

So... You're using the NEW version with the buddy Pokemon and able to use Xposed/Joystick as well and... actually login!?!?
If so... How did you do it?
I'm curious as well. I had to reflash back to stock due to bootlooping so I'm a little more interested in this subject now that the icy plunge or returning to stock has already been made.

Just a quick question. I see some people may be getting around it with Magisk, but is there anything we can do? Root is more important to me than PoGo so if not oh well.
Use xposed. I was able to play it yesterday using root cloak.

Out of curiosity... What settings did you use with RootCloak? Did you just select Pokemon Go? Or did you do something else as well?
Rootcloak doesnt work with safetynet which is how theyre blocking rooted phones. From what i understand right now, magisk doesnt work with our phones because we are rooted by eng boot and dont have an unlocked bootloader. The creator of magisk says that we need a custom kernel to have it working on samsung devices.

You fraudulently filed chargebacks on valid charges and were not honest when attempting to gain access to our platform (which we allowed) then you filed chargebacks again. Your methods of doing business are very dishonest.
I just switched from a Sprint Galaxy S6 to a Verizon Galaxy S7 and it's a drastic change to me lol.. First off, I wanna know if Magisk (Systemless root and Xposed) works on here and how I would go about flashing it on this device. I had the most *****in' setup on my S6, so I'm trying to replicate it to some degree.
I haven't heard anything about custom recoveries for the S7 just yet, anyone have an idea? Sorry for my noobish appearance here lol, I just need an introduction because I'm missing out on so much without my root and Xposed.
EDIT: I may have posted this in the wrong thread. If so, could a mod move it to the proper place.
Note- I am of course referring to the G930V in this post. I'm on the APH1 update.
No custom recoveries yet. The root method at the top of this forum works and gives you access to xposed. That's the best option we have right now.
Eh, I guess I will have to deal with what I have for now. Thanks for the reply.
Are there any custom kernels that can be used with the Verizon S7?

Excellent! I wanted some confirmation from someone with the same phone (unlocked AT&T on N.)
Have you remained rooted since? I'm hearing mixed reports about performance and things stop working.) My primary concern though is our locked bootloaders. If we make changes that cause problems can we undo it? Like flashing the stock firmware? Thanks

Yes, I have remained rooted, but I ended up going back to stock G935A and then rooting again with that procedure. Personally, I was not getting the performance I was used to with the G935U as I was with the G935A with the root procedure.
Yes, there are some things that do not work with these eng.imgs that are being used to root the phones. There is NO Xposed for this one, Samsung Pay does not work, but I have been using Android Pay and it works just fine. As for the Bootloader, it is still LOCKED. There has not been any Unlocked bootloaders for the G935 or G930 so far and I don't think we will see it anytime soon.
As for Undoing, yes. There is a very simple way to go back to stock with Odin. In fact, about once a month, I return to stock just so I can get the latest security patch and then re-root my phone back to this way. I know it is somewhat of a pain, but with Titanium Back up I can get my phone back to running normally in a couple of hours.
Hope this helps...
It's not quite as fast, but if you are backing up and restoring to the same device, you can just use ADB. I still have a TiBu license, and use it on my Tab S2, but I have largely adapted to not having root on my S7 by taking advantage of basic ADB features.

What I meant was Xposed doesn't work on the current version of root using the eng.img. I have not tried using the NEW Xposed that is in THIS thread. I have looked at it but have not had a chance to run the zipped file and installing it. I know it works with MM as I had it working GREAT with MM and the eng.img with that version. I love Xposed and wish that was available for Nougat and N's root. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will be fully implemented soon.

I tried this 4 times and failed. The problem is it just keeps rebooting (about every 45 to 60 seconds) after I flash the eng boot img. Im never able to run adb commands. If I start from a clean slate I can't even make it past the setup screens to enable debugging.
I'm reaching out to you because you succeeded with the same model SM-G935U
So I'm just seeing if you have any insights. My phone should be the same as yours. Only difference is mine came with 7.0 preinstalled. Maybe an earlier firmware? But that doesn't make sense because people are, to my understanding, using the eng boot with recent firmware.
I'll repost in the root thread if I need to but thought I'd see if you have anything to offer. Thanks

I seem to remember the constant rebooting on the U-Firmware also. I too kept trying and it finally took. I think I would take the OTA from the server and try to install the eng.img with Odin. When you do this, does Odin give you any errors? Or does it succeed at the installation?
It has been a few months since I rooted the U-Firmware so not for sure what fixed the rooting process. Sorry I couldn't be more help...

Thanks. No Odin works perfectly whether I flash eng boot or stock.
I looked at the root guide for Sprint and the process is a lot more involved. I believe he boots to recovery twice and wipes cache plus factory reset twice. He also stresses to get the root.bat run quickly to avoid bootloop.
Might be worth a shot but the process of running Odin, getting back to stock and restoring all my data winds up being close to a few hours so It'd be very helpful to find someone with the same issue as me who was able to resolve it.
Hello everybody,
Share your experience with both Magisk and SuperSU root and enlighten others. Which root method is the most powerful? Which causes problems in the long run on GS7? Since I am not a Snapchat user, I find SuperSU more convenient and powerful. What are your takes on this?
I prefer SuperSU because it feels more polished but many people opt for Magisk nowadays because it isn't closed-source.

Yes you are right. But I've heard in the long run, magisk creates some problems while SuperSU works flawlessly. It's also more powerful. Magisks is only good for hiding root and bypassing safety net.

Samsung Galaxy S7 G930T USA Version
So, I've ROM'ed this phone twice thus far. Once Nougat rolled out and then a couple of days ago with a Hybrid ROM of the original OS. Which is pretty nice when our rooted all the time. Problem is When I root its' there for a few hours then it's gone. I intentionally did not complete steps 7-10 just so I could keep my phone rooted and unlocked. Woke up this morning and Root was gone. Like it never happened. WTF!!! It's cool Now I'm going to give this 930U a shot today. What the hell right. Will the G930U hold the root??? I mean the U stands for unlocked so it would make sense that it does.. If so will it mess with my T-mobile service? When I did nougat I the did not have the standard S7 available. I said screw it and gave it a shot.. Not only has my phone thought its been a G935, But they only had verizon at the time as well.
It took me days of writing custom access points and resetting hundreds of settings for IMS and SMS to get it back to normal. Even then it would act weird.
This ROM has Nougat in it correct? I hate this OS. When I do ROM this in with U I should be able to then put in Cosmic or some other ROM then with no problems right??
None the less, I'm going to post a video you tube when I'm done. I'm sure it will be suspenseful. I've got people gambling on weather or not my phone is brick by the end of the day... LOL, Nothing ventured nothing gained.

I have not had much luck with a lot of these Rooters. Matter of fact the only way I've been able to root this for temporarily is by the Engineering_ROM. Everything else I've tried, thwrp, SuperSu, Magisk, snapdagon. they all soft brick me instantly. Every time. I do use SuperSU, And it's a great utility, but it's a bit different then how non USA S7 users do it.
Plus I loose all the functionality of Supersu in a few hours anyway when the root disappears. I'm hoping when I switch over to G930U Today that I will no longer loose my root and unlocked state.

I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. That's one of the reasons I buy unlocked phones and not from Verizon. I unlock it, root it, install Adaway and Swift Installer right off the bat.

Not that I know of. Why are you hesitant to root? It's not hard. You just need to do your homework and follow instructions. We all had to start somewhere. Also, if something goes wrong, it's rare to really brick a phone. They can almost always be recovered.

There's no risk to rooting. Grab the MDM tool it's your always go to tool to bring phone back to stock if there's an issue.
I used to root for Adaway, Viper, and Substratum but with the theme engine now and Blokada (or my personal VPN) and most of my audio listening is not on this device I actually haven't rooted a OnePlus phone in almost a year. Keep in mind if you root you'll lose L1 provisioning (capped at [email protected] on YouTube TV which is a deal breaker for me) along with Netflix and other things that require Widevine DRM to play HD content. Also, having to update the ROM you gotta disable Magisk modules, disable substratum themes, flash the OTA, then reflash TWRP, reflash Magisk, re-enable all your modules and themes. At least this is how it was on the last round of OnePlus devices. Maybe I'm getting older but just simple flash OTA and reboot at my leisure and everything still just works...

Most apps can be light or dark theme.
You can also install DarQ from XDA Labs to dark theme more apps.
Quick Settings in the app store allows you to add a ton of more toggles to quick settings.

It's a bit old but you could try Andromeda from the play store and follow the instructions with substratum both installed and access to a PC worth a try couldn't shouldn't hurt
its pointless anyway
even on rotted OxygenOS most themes dont support it so there are always issues with themes
I prefer running custom AOSP ROMs as then themes work much better in terms of versions etc

I'm using Swift Installer and no problems. I have just about everything blacked out.
Many packages are supporting it now. Liv Dark, Swift, Darc, Liv Light, Valerie. Def worth the few minutes to gain root access.

Given there's no TWRP support as long as nothing goes wrong I agree. If during a flash or if the phone randomly wants to glitch out causing a bootloop during normal usage you're sitting with a paperweight unless you're in front of a computer with ADB and your files available to jump start this device in fastboot. No TWRP and rooting and flashing the boot partition to gain root in most cases likely fine but you're playing with fire without a way to attempt to fix your device while on the go. Correct me if I'm wrong and I might reconsider my personal stance.
In addition, I love this device for the option to root, but the L1-->L3 downgrade in DRM provisioning is a partial deal breaker for my personal usage with YouTube TV. I like to watch sports and being restricted to [email protected] is awful. I could deal with the 480p component but the lack of 60 FPS hockey and football are motion blur central. Keeping it not rooted keeps it at [email protected] or [email protected]

But like everyone said previously, root is THE thing to do once you got an Android
There's no harm for your device, if you fail, you flash a whole firmware and youre good to go again

Many packages are supporting it now. Liv Dark, Swift, Darc, Liv Light, Valerie. Def worth the few minutes to gain root access.
