Is rc30 the same as rc8, just us and uk versions.
Wondering if i can install the rc29 update.
RC8 is the UK version of RC30. If you have official RC8 then you can not root at this time. (or downgrade to any previous firmware)
cot damn google. So much more could be done with the phone if we had root access.

I am currently running JF 1.42(RC33) and would like to go to ADP for the purpose of creating themes. Is it as simple as downgrading to RC29 and then going up to ADP 1.1? I assume I would have to perform the entire process as if I were rooting from stock right?

you should be able to just flash the ADP1.1 firmware from RC33.
after i root can i update straight to jf 1.5?
Yes you can, dont forget to update to the latest radio and recovery console
Hi there I am trying to downgrade rc33 with these instruction http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
but can't make it go. I have copy the file rc29 (DREAIMG.NBH) like this and this (DREAIMG.nbh) also (DREAMIMG.NBH) and when accessing the bootloader it doesn't flash it stays ih the bootloader screen even hitting the power to begin the process. I have use 2 different memory card.
The reason I want to downgrade is to insatll the new JF ADP 1.5 update. Now do I need root access to update my stock rc33 or can I just update directly to the JF's new update? Thanks in advance for your help...
Ok I solve the problem with a third memory card. Thanks...
Okay so I'm on stock 3.2 without the latest update. But I am rooted. But I get the error when installing the update, so I was wondering what I need to do to get the update and is brks root batch script method working for the newest update (netflix support).
This will be my first phone I'm rooting, so I don't have much experience with this. I plan on installing Magisk, so I was curious if I can still upgrade the OS after rooting or should I upgrade then root. Thank you for your help!
You can update stock firmware at any time using Odin https://updato.com/how-to/how-to-install-an-official-samsung-stock-firmware-using-odin
Note: It's an old article and links an old version of Odin, make sure to download the latest version
As for root and Magisk, the USA S7's have a locked bootloader so you can't install magisk. Root is possible but limited https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7/development/easyroot-unroot-t3859760
If you go too far ahead in firmware version, the methods used for root are patched. So if you're going to try it, make sure you flash an older version in Odin.
