Can a G930A running on Nougat 7.0 be rooted? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

Recently I came across this article: https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/root-s7-att-g930a-g935a-t3410538 providing instructions on rooting both the g930a and g935a models. However, much to my dismay this root was performed using version 6.0.1, and alas, I'm running on nougat 7.0. I've searched all over the forums trying to find an answer as to whether this method still works for devices running on 7.0 however, I cannot find a direct answer. Does anyone know if the method of rooting used in the above article still works for a g930a running on 7.0 nougat?
All help is appreciated.

Yes there is root for 7.0. Just look through the forum and you will find what you need.

I've searched through but I cannot find such things? Forgive me for I've never been good at my "google-fu" or searching forums, however I will go back and do a double take. I'll continue looking, but would it be possible for you to point me in the right direction?

The most effective way to debloat the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930V after root?

Hi, I've successfully rooted my phone!
Is there an easy, quick or thorough way to debloat our phones running Nougat?
psouza4 had this thread with directions on how to do that, but I think it was for 6.0.1 because it's not working on my phone
My phone is the Samsung SM-G930V with the baseband version G930VVRU4BQA4 and build number NRD90M.G930VVRU4BQA4 if that helps anyone.
Anything anyone can do to point me in the right direction or any tips you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

I was thinking something similar to this or this but for 7.0, not 6.0.1.
I'm not clever enough to really know what can and can't be removed safely. I usually just spend weeks removing stuff to try and strip down to an absolutely minimum stock phone and end up just breaking the operating system and having to start over.
However, in the two links hyperlinked above, two guys both immensely smarter than me were able to strip the phones of all the bloatware and then some while remaining on stock roms and having a very functional phone.
I was hoping to find something like that.
For now I'm just downgrading to a rom that came out before Sep 15, 2016 and then following the steps in this thread to get a functional rooted phone that is tweaked to run okay, then I'm using the steps in this thread to strip the phone down to almost nothing but still keeping it functional.
I would rather have total control of the applications and software on my phone and use a dated operating (6.0.1) system versus using the most up to date operating system (7.0) and not having as much control or understanding of what's on my phone.
I would love to upgrade to 7.0 though if anyone knows an extensive and reliable way to extremely debloat the Verizon Samsung S7 SM-G930V with a locked bootloader?
I've lurked and googled every variation of any combination of words to try and find the right place to learn how to do this but fell back on the two threads I hyperlinked above, twice. I can't find anything that works for me for 7.0
If anyone wants to emulate what I did to get a similar result, I used the firmware version G930UUEU4API3 for the device Samsung Galaxy S7, model SM-G930U for my SM-G930V (apparently the G930U version doesn't come with Verizon bloat? just standard bloat?) because that version was released 9/09/16 and the thread for the extreme debloat was last updated 9/15/16, probably to account for that release. After that nothing has been updated.

Update 7.0 root it and try this rom. You need to create a account to access the form.

Thanks. I was using the 6.0.1 rom for awhile but ended up doing other things.
I have been using this 7.0 one now since you posted on the 4th and it's nice.
If you find anything else do share, thanks so much for your help!

How can I root QL1

I am trying to root my SM-G930P, and I searched this forum, but I'm completely lost.
I can't find information regarding my phone, and I don't know if I can root it or not with the current rom installed and with which method.
Can I root using the instructions given in the following thread ?
Is there a better suited method for my phone?
sorry for this noob post, I usually can find my way around and previously rooted successfully other models, but with this specific model, I'm at loss.
Code:
Software version / Baseband version: G930PVPU5BQL1
Hardware Version: REV0.6
Model number : SM-G930P
Android: 7.0
Android security patch level: 1 december 2017

Build number: NRD90M.G930PVPU5BQL1

Took me zero effort to find this thread... You're welcome.
Maybe instead of posting a new thread you could just ask in that existing one you found...

As you see, I have SM-G930P and not SM-G930U and there's nothing telling me I can safely apply the same technique in order to get it rooted.
If you can confirm to me I can go ahead, I will glad fully test it.
Thanks for your answer.
I tried this method on P firmware and could not get mobile data to work.
I also have the same phone as the OP and can't find anything recent on rooting this P version phone. I didn't have any issues with rooting s3-s6 on version. Usually the info is more concise and easier to find. I'm not a coder by anymeans, thank you to the people who come up with these roots and rom version. If anyone has any info on rooting P I'd also love the help.
any update on this? on QL1, avoiding the TAA update to RA1 until I know i can root either of them
I am also interested in this...

Same here. been working to to restore it but so far the above tar file you posted is the only one that odin "likes". (all the others fail)
I'm in the same boat with the same phone on Sprint. What about using one of the "one click root" methods such as cf-auto-root. It seems like it will create a custom package for this phone. Has anyone tried it?

Rooting my s8+

I have an s8+ g955u1ues2aql1 Running on 7.0 nougat
And I've been looking though the forums for any updates on root for mine, so far the only thread I found that sounds promising is the latest partycyborg rom way rooting. But I'm still unsure if my device is compatible because I dont see my bootloader version in the guide. I've been looking through other threads and searching but the only other significant find was a reply to one of the older rooting threads that said mine wasnt compatible with the rev2 bl and to look into samfail. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks all

SM-T385 - What are the tweak options available

I ran searches in the forum and all i could find is the ROOT Tutorial. Is there any ROMs available for the Tab A 2017 (SM-T385). I was earlier having a T285 and traded it for this. Lucky the tab is running on 7.1.1. But would like to have a taste of 8.0. Is there any ROMS available for T385.
Thanks in Advance.
I have asked before bur never got an answer either.

No root on pie. Nougat only. And if your on a bit 7 firmware no root even for any. 5th digit from thr far end of your firmware is the bit number. 1 through 7 your in pie so 5 to 7
