just got the update to 5.1.1, came factory installed 0F1 so i could never root, will the methods already out for 5.1.1 root work for the verizon variants?
Already a thread about this. Thank you though.
To actually answer your question...unfortunately there's not a way to root our 5.1.1 update yet. Hopefully soon!

Has anyone else downgraded from 5.1.1 to 5.0.1 or 4.4.4 on the T-Mobile variant? I have done some searching and I have seen that some people feel it may brick the phone. I have seen some go from 5.0.1 to 4.4.4, but not from 5.1.1. When I received my Edge it was already on 5.1.1 but the battery life is pretty awful and I am hoping for better results on 5.0.1.
I have already tripped KNOX and am running RiverRom if it matters.
Somebody posted an 'unlocked' 4.4.4 bootloader here recently and with that you should be able to downgrade to kitkat as poster claims. Take it from there.
Respect!

Sorry to ask a question instead of answering yours but I thought custom 5.1.1 ROMs were supposed to be better for battery life? I assume Riverrom is a custom 5.1.1 ROM. Aren't those supposed to be better?
Hyperdrive is now out based on COK2. I don't think it's possible to downgrade, but if you figure it out, let me know.
Downgrade will also help to use the Gear2
With the lolipop 5.1.1, second version, I can not use the Gearmanager to manange apps
I read that I can and then i cannot root my table sm-905v 5.1.1. If I can't root it on this firmware can I downgrade to 4.4.2 to root it? If so how do I do it. Thanks for any help new to all this android stuff.

You may be one of the fortunate ones... there's a Marshmallow rom out there for your tablet. Here's the thread, which has links to the stuff you'll need along with some directions on usage.

I just got this tablet and I made the assumption rooting wouldn't be an issue and now i'm shocked that it appears it can't be rooted. Is this true? I searched and found a lot of older thread but seeing if something new or changed?

Was this answered? I want to root and clear out "miscellaneous files"
Has anyone gotten root and custom recovery on this yet
I see that VZW has released update NRD90M.G935VVRS4BRA1 for the GS 7 Edge. Can anyone confirm that it can be rooted using the same method that has worked for the previous Nougat releases?
Thanks.

Yes, the method in jrkruse's Root Method for Nougat worked fine for me. Cheers!
Just moved to this phone on Sprint from the Galaxy S6, this device is fully updated and I was wanting to root it. Is there a root available for Oreo for the Sprint variant? And what are some of the better Oreo ROMs? Thank you!
Check your bootloader version. If it's under 4 which I haven't seen yet, you can root but it won't be oreo. Check out PartyCyborg rom. Works up to bootloader v3 but you'll end up flashing to Nougat and can only charge to 80%
