Rooting your phone will disable OTA updates and also via Kies/Smart Switch. If you are rooted, you will need to download and flash future updates via Odin.

I used AnyRooter application to root my Samsung s7, it works fine!

You still can't root the snapdragon S7/Edge yet, right?

Last I knew, not yet. Whatever Samsung and/or SD did to prevent rooting, seems to have at least delayed developers. I'm not giving up hope yet... there is always a way

Hi there,

I have a Galaxy S7 from Sprint (G930P). My friend was trying to unlock it via SIM unlock and now the entire phone is crap. The dm-verity verification is now saying that it failed. I can't flash anything via adb nor ODIN. the recovery via TWRP is not working and I have tried many ways to get the OTA update to overwrite anything on the device. I have looked for ways to take the phone and reboot it so that I can unlock the bootloader for it to be rooted. But it seems that the phone is soft bricked or something. This is my first attempt at working with the S7 and I don't really know too much on what to do. Could someone give me some information as to what I need to do or something. I have been working for about a week on getting this phonoe up and running and there is not much help coming from my friend. Please help me.

The bootloader can not be unlocked on these phones. Only the non USA version can be unlocked. Hopefully your phone isn't toast and someone can help you fix it.

I would like to do this (rooting) to my Galaxy S7 Active. As it just received the Android v.8 Oreo (forced update), and so I've lost my much used & appreciated 'Usage Manager' app =(( ...where I could quickly enable/disable mobile data, and kill all running apps in background, etc.

And so wondering where/how to start , as I'm not seeing the rooting forums-- here in the AC forums. Have the rooting forums section been deleted?

Thanks very-very much for any help or suggestions.
