Hi, I have rooted my Samsung GALAXY S7Edge SM-G935F using odin "auto-root-chainfire" file and it worked fine and great.
The new Pokemon Go update means I will need to root my phone using "MAGISK" - does this work on SM-G935F? Has anybody tried it?
Also has anybody tried unrooting their phone and rooting MAGISK on SM-G935F? If so please tell me so I can try it, I have once tried to unroot my old Samsung phones using SuperSU and it just caused everything to be deleted :/ so I am asking here to see if anybody tried it yet
also can someone send me a link for MAGISK rooting specifically for s7 edge? - or make a step by step guide how I can unroot my chainfire-auto-root (by odin) and then how i can root using MAGISk for S7 Edge SM-G935F
thank you for your time

All,
I am new to the Android arena (former iDevice owner familiar with Jailbreaking).
I was wondering if there is a root available for this tablet. I just purchased it.
I tried the English version of vRoot v1.7.8 but it said it couldn't root this device. Odin3 does not recognize it either.
Has anyone successfully rooted this yet?
Thanks in advance.

Have you try towelroot? Mine is T331 and working well with towelroot
The rooting guide is in the general section of this forum...just go look. Read the whole thing if you updated your tab in August you will need to downgrade. Good luck!
Towelroot doesnt work
Towelroot doesn't work because i believe I'm updated to the latest update on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 (SM-T230NU). is their any possibility that anyone would be willing to walk me through the steps to root it? or if i have to downgrade it can someone help with that too? thanks in advance if anyone does..

Your gonna have to find a kernel that was dated before june 3 if your going to downgrade. Have you tryed vroot, rootgenis or other methods? I dont know how many root applications are out there because I dont have this tablet but there are a few.
Vroot works but you have to Odin back to ne2 firmware. Hope it helps.

I got a successful root without using a computer .
King root worked but not their latest version . I used version 4.1 , their latest version worked but partially . In my opinion their getting sloppy with the updates.

The only things you loose by rooting is Samsung Pay and Android Pay and yes rooting will trip knox and knox will no longer work.
After you root the fingerprint feature will work fine, & s health will work fine too just be sure to remove your fingerprint prior to rooting.
Also be sure to enable the usb debugging and make sure that the OEM unlock is ENABLED in settings
before you root and before flashing anything that requires odin like a new firmware or twrp recovery.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
Thanks For Your Interest
Which Way Of Rooting Would You Prefer ?

The way I rooted was I used the odin flash-able twrp, noverity-opt-encrypt and supersu method (not the cf-autoroot method).
You only need 4 files to successfully root your phone.
Odin3 is a windows application, odin flash-able twrp, noverity-opt-encrypt and supersu which is flashed using twrp.
Those 4 files are all you need to successfully root your phone.
Yes, I would advise anyone to root their phones that want their phone to have a lot
more new features and customizations and the ability to flash different custom roms.
If you are 100% satisfied with your phone as it is now and don't want or need
new features, options and customizations I would advise not to root the phone.
It's up to you.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
I Really Appreciate Your Help Bro
Thank You And Have A Nice Day

Some variants of the Tab E do not yet have custom recovery so this root method is supposed to be used for them but will work for other Tab E Variants. I personally use a Tab E Verizon which has no custom recovery yet.
Sm-t377v
I have a Sm-t377v running 6.0.1. Will this work for that?
If not would you know of another root for this one? I can't find anything myself...although I'm new to rooting devices lol so I may just be blind.

My brother asked me to root his device, he has T377V, is there still no recovery created for the Verizon version?

Here is a link to an unbrick guide for the Samsung Galaxy Tab https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133590
tried a lot of versions of the KingoRoot and King Root apk's and zero have even come close to rooting. T377AUCU2BQK2 build Just updated to android 7.1 two days ago. I tried months ago even while it was still on 6 something.
Ideas?
Much Respect!

Is there a way to downgrade back to android 5.1 and then root?
I have the sm-t377v i cant be rooted on 6.0.1 or later so i downgraded to 5.1.1 and it rooted but its temporary after a reboot you lose it. I downgraded a sm-567v from 7.1.1 to 5.1.1 im going to try to root even if its temporary
I've been searching the forum for a few days now looking for a thread to help me. While I did find people asking the same I didn't find any useful help.
I had my tab rooted with kingroot for a long time but a few days ago I tried installing a recovery so I could flash xposed but something went wrong an it got stuck on the yellow sprint screen so I flashed a stock firmware with Odin to fix the issue. However now it won't root using kingroot. Am I doing something wrong? Does anybody have another idea of how I achieve root/recovery an xposed? It's been a while since I used the tablet so the only thing I can think of is I had it rooted before the 5.1.1 update, I honestly cannot remember. If that's the case does anybody have a downgraded firmware?
The tablet is a sm-t237p running 5.1.1
Update
Update - I was able to downgrade to 4.2.2 an active root thru king root. Now how can I achieve recovery? All the recovery posts are for different models.

Root for the SM-T237P on 4.2.2 is indeed achievable by Kingroot>then SuperSume>then Clear all cache with SystemCleanup.apk>Freeze all System Update Apps. In fact, I actually used an app called Root Cleaner. However, in 5.1.1 the SuperSume method does not work. I am searching the XDA world over for a copy of the PhilZ Recovery. Without it, we are doomed on such a nice tablet. There is no CF-Auto Root or TWRP for this model. And the Cf-330 method is garbage(No offense to those people using it). The SM-T237P updated yesterday to a more secure 5.1.1 dated June 26. Does anyone here know how to get a copy of the PhilZ recovery?

I actually just found somebody who posted a copy of it. It won't let me post links since I'm new but it's under galaxy tab 4 general called "Root for SM-T237P by sk8trix" it's on the last page. I have successfully flashed it an can confirm it's working. Now I'm working on xposed
Hi all,
Im using an S7 Edge on Nougat.
I used odin and cf room (https://download.chainfire.eu/930/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hero2lte-hero2ltexx-smg935f.zip) to root my device.
After the process finished, my phone rebooted but stays on the animated samsung logo.
I've done a search, and im a little lost - please help - any help is useful.
Thank you
I never used Auto Root but if you look at the chainfire page, and see the S7 Edge it is just for 6.01 and not nougat. I think that's the problem

I think that you need to flash the stock firmware for your country with ODIN. Maybe someone else can verify this?
Trying this and im getting Secure check failed (bootloader).
I'm scared and need help.. Anything?
Hi,
You have to flash a Nougat stock firmware if you wish to flash using Odin. Samsung bootloader (Knox) doesn't allow an official firmware downgrade, and IIRC that message you are getting happens when you're trying to flash an older version of Android.
Get a newer stock firmware and try again, or if you prefer you can just flash a custom recovery and flash a custom ROM (which may be faster and already comes rooted). Also next time search for a rooting method for your Android version, rooting uses of the system partition, that means if you try using an old method, there's a risk of something not working fine.
All the best,
~Lord

Hi Lord,
Just did what you mentioned, you were spot on - the older bootloader caused issues with the data partition so i lost all apps/data and had to start from a scratch nougat install.
All is working now - appreciate your help, both of you - i will research more in future.
