How To Root The Samsung Galaxy S7

The xda-developers forum is offering this method...

Root The Galaxy S7 With Kingo Root

(Use at your own risk. This is for competent users. I have not personally tried this method.)

Is this good for all variants?

Excellent question dpham00... dunno!

Unlike chainfire's CF-Auto-Root, this is not a rooting kernel but appears to use a system exploit.

AT&T and Verizon, as they have with the Galaxy S4,S5 and S6, might make their models unrootable.

Reported to not work. XDA is removing it.

Wow. I was thinking of trying this but now I'll just have to wait.

The problem with the Kernal exploits is that they are not stable. I am using one of those on my Note 5 and it tends to reboot during phone calls. I've found that's a common problem with some of the other kernel exploits as well.
