Ive looked around I'm the forum and can't find anything 7.0 specific. I'm not sure if its still a reliable option as I havent used it since my s3, but one click root says it will work with 7.0.
Anyone have an input or a link for a full on tutorial. I dont mind manually doing it as I said I couldn't find 7.0 specific threads.
Not sure if it matters but my software version is VS99T14B.
Thank you.
Vs995 is rooted. gotta downgrade from 14B though. the stock firmware is 7.0 so the only root related threads are FOR 7.0. You need to use Dirtysanta

Thank you. Forgot to request a close someone answered in another thread. I wasn't sure if I could downgrade or not. I saw sonewhere they patched downgrading. But thank you for the response, better to get the same answer from more than one person.

Sorry for the off topic question but can you or anyone else please link me to your root method (if in fact we can root with Nougat) I cant seem to find a definite answer. Im unlocked G935U, my carrier is AT&T. Currently on G935UUEU4BQF3
Thanks

This is the only one that I know of that will root the Nougat version of the S7 Edge. It is a very long thread, and there is a lot of information that can help. I know it works as I tried it on my G935U at one time.

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.

Great info. Thanks!
One followup--when you say Xposed doesn't work, do you mean you tried the newest Nougat version that just got released? Or it never worked, not even on M?

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.
Is there anything I should know in particular to 10k? It sounds like rooting isn't enabled unless i downgrade to another firmware version (is it even possible?).

Yeah don't update. You need to downgrade which is possible.

Same thing with me. Recieved h918 with 10k. Downgraded to j, unlocked bootloader, flashed twrp and custom rom.
Is there a specific page you'd suggest for me to follow our search term? Sorry I'm very new to this and thanks.

Find the post with LGUp (restore even for bricked devices) and follow the instructions to downgrade. There are also some youtube videos which are very helpful, in order to downgrade or after, unlock bootloader and so on..
Hi. I have a Samsung Galaxy S8, with a Snapdragon 835 processor running Android 8.0.0 with Samsung Experience 9.0. It's on T-Mobile in the US. SM-G590U is the model number according to settings. Sorry if there is TMI. Anyway, I see a lot of tutorials on how to root an S8, and I mean a heccing ton, but I'm not sure which ones are fake. Can someone please like me to a working root tutorial for my phone? Thanks for your time.

If I remember right, CRB9 is the last Oero build that was still v2 Bootloader.

No you can go still go back to 7.0 and root. keep in mnd the only rooted rom is extremly debloated..So there are some thing missing and the engineering kernel used for root only allows for a max of 80 % charge...But the rom is excellent 6+ hours of SOT
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/development/root-partcyborgrom-aqi6-deodexed-t3702988
is the thread
Keep in mind because you are on oreo you have to slightly variate from his instructions
As you would be using comsy odin...Oreo blocks this root method and you have to flash the bootloader of the rooted rom first before flashing other parts of the rom as in the instructions..This is to downgrade for say to a slightly older 7.0 bootloader that allowed root and does away with the oreo bootloader that blocked it:good:
Feel fre to ask ?s in that thread as well Most of us are on most of the day and nights

i have an AT&T variant of LG V20 but because it is locked via AT&T therefore i was unable to receive any OTA update as i dont have an AT&T sim card.
I simply want to update my LG V20 to OREO from nougat. My LG V20 is not rooted nor i intend to have it rooted after i update it, i just want to update is the way it had been updated OTA if it had been. Please help me with a step by step guide on how to do so. Thanks in Advance. I have seen other post where similar questions are asked but they want it rooted on oreo which is not my concern as i want the stock rom only. Also my model no is H910, i know it is important as i have already seen people post without models and have had issues with flashing and stuff. Please help me.

U can unroot after rooting. I think clsa has to stock rom. Just go and check at H910 Oreo thread
Title. I no longer use this phone but I would _love_ to be able to get deleted stuff off of it. I did this in the past with my old LG G3 and never had any issues like this phone has with getting to root. I tried it when I first got the phone, tried it a year later. never worked. Now trying 3 yrs lol. Is there anything I can do or am I SOL?
@Phoenix591 already answered this for you on Reddit. I don't know what else to tell you.
Original Reddit post for anyone else who is reading
Thats an Oreo version, and so is past the point of no return. It's unrootable. Tiny electronic fuses have been physically burned to prevent it from booting rootable firmware.
As I mentioned the last version that has the ability to return to a rootable version was ZV7 (the actually rootable versions were ZV5 or earlier, however LS997 did updates weird which ment that firmware wasn't available to flash using the same tools other models use... If on ZV6 or ZV7 its possible to root by crossflashing another model's firmware briefly ) , which was a few updates before oreo came out.

Unfortunately, the LS997 ended up being more limited than the other carrier-specific models. However, root access is getting harder to come by on new carrier-specific devices in general.
