i've been out traveling and been out of the loop for a few weeks. around June i was following a few threads where apparently root has been achieved on US versions (specifically interested in Tmobile 930T version).
can i install custom roms on these devices or not? or does that require bootloader unlock?

There are no roms available for the US s7 as of now. Since the root was achieved quite recently and it is not quite stable now, it will take some time for developers to make a rom for it. If I were you, then for now I would just install de-bloat script, xposed, adblock etc..

thanks friend. I have had the debloater for a few months now. I also disabled auto updates from tmo and Samsung using the debloater just in case the updates would mess up the future root. reading the forums yesterday though I saw people rooting with the latest updates though. now I'm wondering if I should update my software or not.

Well, it depends on you. If you feel that you need the update then go ahead. But in the future I wouldn't suggest updating, because sooner or later Samsung will patch the root.

Hey all,
I immediately blocked any OTA updates since I got my G4 in anticipation for root.
I have three questions
Do the AT&T OTA updates have that anti-rollback feature? I didn't see it confirmed in the thread regarding the anti-rollback but I'm not sure if the info is current.
Is the latest OTA for AT&T the 10g version? Should I enable OTA on my LG G4 now to get it prior to rooting?
Thanks.
So far as i know..no anti-rollback features..
As stated of some members here, latest ota updates doesn't affect rooting...for now

10g is the latest as of yesterday (before I rooted and blocked OTA). If you absolutely can't wait for root, then unfreeze the update apps and get the 10g OTA. If you're on 10e, there's a strong likelihood that you will softbrick your phone if you try to flash the rooted system.img (at least a couple people already did). If you can wait a couple of weeks, just hang tight and wait for codefire to release their one-click unroot since we still don't know about rolling back the bootloader or future unlockability of the 10g bootloader.
I'm on 10g and rooted. I have no intention of running a non stock rom on this device, so blocking updated with Tit back up now, removing bloat and coasting with what I've Got till we find out about a method for custom recoverys yet.
Could someone link me to the thread on how to disable the OTA function? I remember seeing it, but can't find it.

Can you or someone else please list the app(s) that need to be frozen in order to block updates? Thanks in advance.

How about this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-g4/help/how-to-disable-update-notifications-t3152919
Let me preface, I'm using a 920T
I've been able to determine when I flash a 920T based rom, android su root disabled, I can configure and use android pay.
When I flash a 920F/925F rom I get an error that it can't verify device or software running is compatible. I've tried using xposed modules (device cloak and disable device checker) and still no go.
Is there some way to get the base to act/be/fake different than what is actually installed?
Similar to fix the Netflix bug you change the model in build.prop to 920K.
Could a rom that has a 920F base, be transposed or features migrated to a 920T rom, for example?
Either 1- I run a rom that doesn't have the features, battery, speed I want and have android pay. 2- run a rom I want and no android pay. 3- have a nandroid of a 920t stock rom and flash back and forth when needed (a pita for sure).
As far as I know there is no way you can use android pay and have a rooted device.

Yes you can.. The issue is because most roms are European base, android pay is only available in the US. So roms specifically for att, tmobile, Verizon, sprint all should work; as my test of two roms proved

I thought pay would detect the su binaries. That's what a Google developer said.

Couldn't test it though.

I tested by rooting a sprint s6 then adding a credit card with no issues what so ever. The problem definitely lies in EU based ROMS

Exactly. So some way need to fake our rom to be based on USA rom.
I hope some devs can look into this..
Maybe it's because of the fact that Android Pay is only available in the US.
I tested it by installing the apk on a stock unrooted G920F but it wouldn't let me add a credit card because Play Services force close.
And I live in Germany.
I am currently running the Verizon Nougat Beta from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3502902. I am really enjoying it, but it is VERY bloated (curse you Verizon). I am using a package disabler, but I would like to know if there's a way to root it. I can't live without deabloating (for real) and MODS. :silly: Help would be appreciated.
I'm looking for this as well (I'm on the official T-Mobile beta ROM) but I don't think anyone is jumping on this due to the fact not many people have the beta, let alone the device specific ROM. Most likely once the official update rolls out so will the root method and hopefully, just maybe, even a bootloader unlock possibility.
If Dev's root the beta the. The official release will be rooted too. Since it's the same kernel version.

If devs get the beta rooted then release the root method before official nougat is released Sammy may fix the exploit. If devs get root on beta, they should keep it on the dl until official is dropped.
Thanks for the replies. I reverted to EchoeRom and am still hoping for a bootloader unlock (it's been a year). If only...

There weren't enough of us that asked Santa for unlocked boot loader on the S7s......maybe for my birthday ?
Hey, my s7 edge is not rooted yet should I root now?
Only root if you know what you want to do with it afterwards. Don't root for the sake of it if you know what I mean

I am going to try out some roms is it worth it or there is not any good roms yet?
I used to be a keen rooter and user of custom roms but I realised slowly you can achieve most of the desired benefits of rooting by not rooting. It depends on the person, but for me it was blocking ads and removing bloatware. Now you can get Package Disabler Pro which disables anything you want, and 3rd party apps like Adguard which block all ads also. And the added benefit of having a working Android Pay (Though it does work on rooted stock)
I want a pure stock android like lineage os should I root for this matter ?

Yup theres a lot of good stable ROMs though they may still be unofficial. Some ROMs even go up to having Nougat.
The best ROM out there is the SuperMan ROM though, a lot of features and liked by many.

did you spend any money?
I initially rooted the phone to try out different ROMS, xposed etc... but I'm now regretting it. I cannot use Samsung Pay, something that is generally used by most S7 users here in Korea and globally.

I should have said I stopped rooting on my previous s5.
So when I ran into major problems with this phone(s7 unrooted ), I had no problems getting it repaired by Samsung.
So no it didn't cost me anything.
If I did root I probably would have been screwed!!
So be aware, and think carefully if you need root.
Is there any custom kernel that can allow overclocking on the J330FN Oreo?

Nope. It is highly unlikely that a custom kernel or even rom to be made for this device as no one is developing anything on it. The device has reached end of life considering it is a budget device after all.

No problem and i am aware since she helped make sampwned32 for the sm-j327t and sm-j327t1 I found the root method that was used on the s8 variant with a locked bootloader and brought it up and even tested the root method on the device and it worked. But a month later samsung released a new update that patched it. If it wasn't for ashyx converting the files from ARM64 to ARM this method would have never worked. Also after samsung patched the root method they only released one more security update and ended up cancelling the android oreo update for metropcs and tmobile after we was told our device would get it. Oh boy i was pretty pissed. Like come on samsung you could atleast unlock the device's bootloader and allow us to make our own custom roms which would be alot better and would be oreo based. It is sad how samsung forgot about us and didn't even bother to release a new phone to the metropcs and tmobile market in the budget area. The mid range J7 Prime got more love than this device did fr.
