I just rooted my galaxy s7 edge on 6.0.1, and it downloaded the nougat update (OTA). I havn't installed it yet, but I was wondering if I use flashfire, will I still have root and xposed? I'm highly doubting xposed but what about root?
Thanks,
Gavin

You wont have root or xposed.
Ah, figures. Thanks a ton for the reply though, I thought nobody was going to.

Yea, sadly xposed is not released for nougat yet, so nobody has that.
Ummmm you can root on 7.0 dude. Just update it to 7.0 and then just follow the directions in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-method-nougat-t3566978
I can confirm that it is safe to use and works having done it myself, however as for xposed I don't think it's out yet for 7.0 bt I could be misinformed.

I am aware, thanks for the reply. I am rooted as well on 7.0 now. How do you deal with the lag? I have the kernel Aduitor app (Sorry, I don't know how to spell it lmao) and both my governors are set to performance. This kills my battery but any other one is a bit too laggy for me. I do have greenify to help me out on standby which is what killed my battery before root.

All good theres a reason i didnt take part in spelling bees haha and Well I set mine to conservative for the kernal aduitor app and make surr you hit the "apply on boot" option on the top and restart your phone (I didn't notice it at first) and it seemed to fix most of the lag as for the battery I flashed debloat script https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/themes/mod-extreme-debloater-s7-root-req-t3335703
either that or try this custom rom that I can confirm works as well and has no lag just follow the instructions carefully

Conservative? That will be hella laggy lol. I have had the "apply on boot" option selected. And the debloat script, would just disabling the bloat work? Because that's what I have done. And I have a qualcomm s7 edge :/
so I don't have a custom recovery and no unlocked bootloader. So I don't think I can flash any ROMs. I did find a T-mobile ROM, but no AT&T (mine).
Edit: I did put it on conservative. Seems okay, just had to get passed startup
Yeah conservative is what I am on and no lag haha and no the debloat script removes things entirely from the system and yes you can flash the rom i linked even on locked bootloader that one is safe to flash just use flashfire and follow the instructions I use a Verizon s7 edge so it's all good you can flash it just make sure you follow the directions to the letter and dont panic if the reboot takes like 10 mins or so it will take a few for it to reboot after flashing

Is debloat safe?
Also, do I just download the zip and flash in flashfire? As well what version do I download, there are two files
Yes debloating is completely safe as long as you don't unstall key components (the one I linked is safe) all it does is pretty much run an adb command to unstall useless apps like all the google and Samsung apps that we never use that tend to take up space and ram

Okay, which one do I use? I won't have Wi-Fi soon so I downloaded both, so I can just pick one.
Yes use flashfire. Flashfire is your love flashfire is your life haha and bt first go into super su and go into settings click on "enable su during boot" then use the flash zip OTA option and the make sure you chose the mount/system option and I use the Clean_S7_160319_Ultra one however I will advise you to look through the script first to see what is uninstalled first just to make sure so you can make backups bc I am not sure what exactly you use
I need you help asap! I ran a script (I found one that wasn't on the link you sent me, stupid me) and now it keeps saying "IMS Service has stopped" laterally every 2 seconds. Any help please?
Did you use the S7Edge DeepDebloatV2? Or something like that?? Haha yeah don't use that uninstall ims for now or reflash with Odin

Ahh. Yeah I refreshed in odin. Then I did your debloat, and worked like a charm, Thanks! I forgot to sign into Snapchat before rerooting Smh, this is not my day lol. Would you happen to know any way to get on with root?
Hmmmm ic well you could try hiding the root with rootcloak in the playstore bt if I had to guess it searches for super su and the su folder soooo my guess would be to maybe go into super su and uninstall the root and super su (or reflash everything with odin to make sure all root is wiped) and then log in then root it after

Last week I took the plung and rooted my phone. I was on PD8 and followed that video I was seeing around then I went and installed xposed along with my favorite apps for xposed. Didn't realized it until today that wifi calling was a no go and then I saw others were having problems. I ended up doing a factory wipe. Then Using the modified Odin I installed PG1 using the BL, AP, CP, and CSC. I tried once without the CSC but I didn't even have an option for wifi or voice of LTE. So then I tried using all 4 files. From there I ended up using the zip floating around on XDA that says it's for all S7s with QC chips. follow the readme instructions and so far I've still got wifi calling. Wifi calling was the one deal breaker for me and I'm so glad to see it's working now. Before I install Xposed this time I will make a backup with Flashify just in case.

Why did you root might I ask? You can get Hotspot easily, and remove bloat with the U firmware? Without the bootloader unlocked I can let figure out why I would want to. Backups are nice, some root software, but damn if my phone doesn't run fast as hell on this U software, package disabled pro and master shortcut lite to change apn_ for hotspot. Just kind of curious. We don't even need root to make our sd the internal partition now with a good guys help. I need to some incentive I guess cause I figured the only reason to root was to change boot screen, modify files and find msl, flash custom roms and make backups and try out AOSP. WHY Trip Knox before we fully bust a nut?

Really? So many posts about why or why not to root and yet you ask again anyway. Viper4android comes to mind. If you take a look you will see with root you could change your boot screen, modify files, and make backups. Although it's so close to the original rom there is a modified rom you can install. All this without tripping Knox.

By far the best guide I have found is over in the Verizon forums but the guide is for all Snapdragon Galaxy S7s. Go here and just follow that guide. Be sure to install that S7 fixv15 you will find under Recommended Steps. Although it's buried in there you will want to freeze The Security Policy Update agent. That bugger alone will cause a bootloop about a week after you have rooted. The Viper4android version that works with our phones can be found here. ViperAtmos is what you'll be looking for. Download it and stick it on your sdcard then use Flashfire to install it.

Sorry, I missed this post. Go here and first thing I'd do is return to stock to get your wifi calling back. Sammobile has the stock rom for this phone . Be sure to Odin all 4 files. use the csc file and not the home_csc file.
Awesome!!! Thanks for the help, much appreciated.. Let's hope I make it smoothly, I've waited long enough to root.

Well, I finally got wifi calling even after installing xTouchwiz. Of course when I tried disabling DVFS I lost wifi calling. I was worried I was going to have to wipe the phone and start over but all I ended up doing was reenabling DVFS and rebooting. Wifi calling was there again so I'm quite happy with it. True test will be to see if disabling the security policy will stop the bootloop I'd been getting after a week.

the two times I ended up getting the bootloop was when an app appeared to be crashing and the phone was unresponsive. I don't believe it was the app that caused the problem because the two times I had bootloops I was doing different things when the phone just appeared to freeze and I ended up hitting the buttons to power down the phone. When it came back on it was bootlooped both times. After someone claimed it was the Security Policy update program that was causing this and they said either freeze or uninstall it. I't's frozen for now and so I'm just gonna hold my breath and see if it passes the one week mark this time.

You need Titanium Backup or another program to freeze or uninstall system apps. Freeze or uninstall Securtity policy updates 4.1.69 While you're in there do the same to SecurityLogAgent 4.3.34. That one isn't as concerning but it does give you that irritating message about your unauthorized system changes and reboooting to fix them.
Is anyone experiencing issue with calling? Do you use a kernel governor? Are you on the rom? I'm looking to get my phone in top shape but something is wrong.

Wait, flashing the T-Mobile stock kernel back to the device after rooting doesn't cause bootloops?
(Obvious words of legality, etc. I take no responsibility for anything that happens to your phone. I managed this on my own and everything worked. If you messed it up, I'm sorry, but it's not my problem)
Ok, now the good stuff! Hello all!
As you may know, user messi2050 managed to get us root on our phones (yay!). We don't yet have a custom recovery, and this is a usual requirement for Xposed, but fear not! I have figured out how to install it without a custom recovery. I'll try and be as clear as possible and provide all direct links to the files needed, but if something confuses you please let me know!
1. Root your phone
2. Download and install FlashFire
3. Samsung has weirdness associated with their roms and the way they do things under the Android hood, so you can't use the normal Marshmallow xposed module. You will need the Unofficial Xposed for Samsung Marshmallow by Wanam (HERE is a link directly to the APK you need)
4. Install the Xposed Installer for Marshmallow (Again, there is a direct link to the APK HERE[/URL
5. Open up FlashFire and press the (+) button. Select "Flash ZIP or OTA"
6. Choose the file downloaded in step 3
7. IMPORTANT! DESELECT "MOUNT /SYSTEM READ/WRITE"! Make sure everything is deselected! Then click the "✓"
8. Moment of truth y'all. Press the "FLASH" button at the bottom of the screen. You may get warnings, accept or clear them and continue
9. Your phone will shut down, show a bunch of text, and reboot after installing. THE REBOOT TAKES A LONG TIME, SEVERAL MINUTES AT LEAST! Don't be afraid, it will take quite a while to reboot. When it is done, it will "optimize apps" and then you should be all set!
Some xposed modules may not work for this phone! You run the risk of constant crashes and reboots with some modules. There are compatibility issues, especially if you neglect to read the warnings of each module, so read carefully! I'll give a list of modules I've installed with no issues, which will give yo a decent place to start (NOTE: There are individual settings in many of the modules, I haven't tried everything. So I can only tell you that the installation of the module is safe, NOT each setting).
Burnt Toast
Disable Fullscreen Keyboard
GPM Notification Seek Bar [L-M]
Greenify
Marshmallow SD Fix
Media Notification Seek [L-M]
NoSafeVolumeWarning
Notification Count
Wanam Xposed
XTouchWiz
If you happen to have success with any others, let us know and I'll update this list. Hope you guys enjoy, I'm so happy we finally got root and Xposed on this phone!
Followed your instructions (thanks) and have
BootManager
MinMinGuard
Swype Row and
Xinsta
Running.
It seems like most xposed modules work. Anyone interested should just follow the above instructions and give it a shot.

Glad it works for you!
Yeah, I don't think there will be too many problems, I only mention the warning because if you're not careful, there are many modules that haven't been updated in years. If you're careless, you may install something from 2014 and it isn't compatible with Marshmallow and may cause constant crashes and force closes. Because we don't have a custom recovery, it's that much more important to be careful, as a mistake will requi9re a reflash and wipe everything. =S
Followed instructions and everything went just fine. Working great. Thank you!

If you have it rooted I would assume it's fairly similar. If there is any difference in the processor you will want to download the appropriate file, but using Flashfire and the Wanam version of xposed should be the correct move. Best of luck!

Assuming you meant overHEATING on Snapdragon, try using the phone without aftermarket cover and without charger plugged in.

OK finally got it working I don't know if I had the wrong file somehow or if using twrp to flash but I started over. Re-download the files and used flashfire to flash the zip. Worked perfectly this time, this phone has no compass sensor. Wish I knew that as I only wanted Xposed for the module that mimics a gyro.

Was wondering about this too. Not entirely confident about what things to reflash in case things go wrong otherwise wouldve tried this.
So just took a risk and tried it and the phh's SuperUser didn't provide root. Might have to do something with how the latest SuperSU doesn't work either?

The whole point of this is that you flip the switch and you're temp unrooted for whatever duration you chose. 5min is default I think. If you didn't try that then you never really checked to see if it would work before dumping it.

Ok, thanks, I'll find the time to try it again. But temporally unroot with Chainfire superSU didn't help. I used superSU without Magisk though, it was systemless and it worked with AP in the beginning. Seems that AP checked only system changes then. It worked till recently when Google obviously cut off AP from rooted phones.

If you're running a custom ROM it may or may not work. Some are saying it does and others not. But if we're talking about the A7 here that'll be stock for now.

It is phh's SuperUser app on playstore. Seems to work fine...

I'm using apps that require root, have the sd card fix done so EVERYTHING can use the sd card, file managers can't usually move or delete files on unrooted device, use clocksync so I have accurate time and have titanium backup installed.

Wait, are you saying that the su in tenfars locked bl root is phh's? I didn't know that. That's good, then when he gets it working for the 2017u this should work on it as well.
Always thank those who are helpful...and just ignore those who aren't.

Don't know , I just downloaded the root manager Tenfars recommended from play store...
It works fine...
Are there any new reports on this subject? I have been able to successfully install Magisk and PHH SU on a Nexus 6P , but using the identical procedure on my Axon 7 (U) does not work. I am puzzled.
Magisk installs fine (busybox is detected) on A2017U but root + Magisk does not work. Going to keep testing some options and methods and I'll let you know.
SuperSU fails during install after extract.
phh-superuser install completes but no root.

No luck so far, my gut thinks it's an issue with the kernel / boot.img patch. Sorry guys I'm going to keep banging on this one but it might take me a bit as I don't have a linux box up right now. Can someone that has a Chinese model get me a copy of the patched boot.img?

that's my thought too, since magisk seems not to create a log in /cache as it should and doesn't reaveal itself via logcat it looks like it doesn't realy get executed.
The guys in the common magisk were not realy able to help, guess we have to dig more into the init.rc script / boot.img patch. But might be that it get's fixed with v7 anyway, hope @topjohnwu is able to get it done quickly (or maybe has some ideas he how to debug it more, i didn't get an answer from him in the common, probably way too crowded magisk thread - goddamn pokemongo!)
Subscribing. Would like to get this working as well.
Edit: I've gone ahead and opened up a thread so it is easy to find: http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-installing-magisk-systemless-phhs-t3524270
We're up to Magisk V9 now and it still doesn't work. I'm almost certain it has to do with the execution of the patched boot.img, due to the write-protected /system partition. I finally got it working by using the the method in the guide I posted.
Hey everyone!
In the 6 years or so that I have been rooting/unlocking the BL, this thought has never crossed my mind, until now. Unfortunately, there are some apps I need to use that wont work with rooted phones. I think this is incredibly [email protected]*king dumb, but there is nothing I can do about that.
SO the question I have is there a way to disable the root/unroot the phone/make apps think the phone is unrooted for just a few mintues so I can use the app, then quickly put the root back? Any thoughts, insights, advice, etc. would be helpful.
Thanks!
Try "magisk"

I have magisk (it was part of the rom I use) but I have to be honest, I am not familiar with using it. I googled it a few times after installing the ROM, but couldn't see what it would do for me. Can you explain to me how to use it for this?

Actually I can't, I just think that it's your only option to be rooted without being detected. The op of this thread seems pretty straightforward: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Good luck.

hmm...I read through it, but don't see how...I'll play around with it a bit. Maybe in the meantime, someone else can tell me exactly what I need to do.

A. Hide root with magisk
1. open magisk manager, magisk hide
2. Select what apps you want to hide from root detection
3. Reboot
B. Unroot. Uninstall magisk
You can install magisk later for root
Hey guys,
This is almost certainly a stupid question but I would be grateful for any help. I have a Nexus 6p thats upgraded to the lastest Android O beta version of OPP2. I wanted to finally go around rooting it. I have enabled USB debugging, always allowed the PC's RSA fingerprint and checked allow OEM unlocking. Nothing else has been done before, I plan on following a step by step guide that will help me unlock bootloader, install custom recovery and root etc.
I tried googling and to my surprise I could not find any root guide for this version of Nexus 6p (maybe I am just blind?)
Just tossing this out there. Old, but should still do what you need. Now that I think about it, I should probably go ahead and update parts of it....
Android Job Box
Woah. Cheers mate! so i just need to plug my Nexus 6p in, execute the file and click on unlock bootloader? I assume i have to install super su after that and that will be it? :3 Sorry. I know i am asking stupid questions and you are obv a pro. Also the fact that my version is opp2.170420.019 makes no difference right?

No, shouldnt make a difference. SHOULDNT. lol
The first thing I would do is download TheFlash's TWRP build, and flash that using the tool once you have your bootloader unlocked. That can be a lifesaver. Let me know if you have any questions. Questions directly about the tool, please post in my tools release thread.
Allrighty then, ill take the plunge real soon! Thank you for all the help Any specific why I should go with TheFlash's build instead of this one: dl.twrp(dot)me/angler/? As far as I can see it only supports F2FS which I will probably not be using.

None, specifically. But he seems to always be ahead of the curve for almost everything he does. And I really like his work. Personal preference I guess.
Well your tool works well Bootlocker unlocked and TWRP isntalled. But i flashed the SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip and nothings happening. there is a super su app in the drawer but when i click it it says super su binary not installed. Dont suppose you would have any idea why this is?
Update: okay false alarm. installed supersu v2.8 and appears to be rooted now. although super su keeps on crashing.
Update2: actually no, not working properly. Some apps are getting root - others arent I guess

Only SuperSU 2.79 SR4 or Magisk v13 will have functional root on Android O.
Magisk:

SuperSU:

Even more unstable lol, built for OPP1 not OPP2 apparently. Phone actually crashing now and rebooting after a few mins. Meh, srsly cold feet, am out. Going to flash it back to stock. hope that works atleast.

It works the same on OPP1 and OPP2. But all in all, you'll have better luck with Magisk v13.
I flashed it to 7.1.1 N4F26T using NRT and now the it has severe lag and keeps freezing and screen isnt accepting touch commands. Since this is a fresh install I assume the RSA fingerprint and USB Debuugging option has been unchecked as well? I have downloaded the official stock image of 7.1.2. Can I apply it using recovery or something?

Okay, flashed it to 7.1.2 using recovery. Everything seems fine now. Thank god. Helpful tip to any noob out there trying to root Android O Beta 2 on your nexus 6p: dont.
