The researchers expect to soon publish an app that allows people to test their individual phone and anonymously include the results in a running tally that will help researchers better track the list of vulnerable devices. (Update 10/24/2016 6:10 California time: The app still hasn't gone live in Google Play. People who are willing to sideload the app can find it here.)

Looks optimistic. Honestly those of us with the s7 wanting a stable root are in the same boat. I downloaded the APK and it runs fine. So there IS hope!

Somehow all of my data got wiped in the most recent update for this phone and I've been waiting on a root exploit in hopes to recover any of my pictures. It's not very likely, but it is impossible without root access, so I'm patiently waiting.

Seeing as the s7 is with updated security patches I am assuming it will be compatible. Now someone just needs to compile a tool.
Any news on this ?

After reading their updates, it seems that the app they compiled tests for vulnerabilities on devices. So if you ran it on your s6, you would see if the 'rowhammer'/'drammer' can actually write to your device. If the app is a success (which shows in the apps log, there isn't a pop up) then the exploit can be used to root our devices. The only problem is they haven't released the actual code for rooting devices.

Thank you for clarifying it. I guess its a matter of waiting for someone testing for vul and then exploit it.

Root alone won't let us get CM. But we can at least maybe get rid of some apps and bloatware. It'd be a significant step in the right direction.

Does this work on smg900a at&t s5 marshmallow 6.0.1 ?
Tôi bị lỗi pin. Đang cần root. Mong được giúp đỡ
Somebody please exploit this!
Quick update, after running the app and some PC sided operations, I may have found a hole (I'm on latest September update). Since I've had my S7E with root and Xposed, I figured I'd work on my S6. Since I have recently found an easy FRP bypass for this latest update, I will dedicate my time to root. I am not developer so I myself will probably not create a root for this device, but I will work on assisting those who can find holes and exploits. I'll keep updated and contact more educated developers. Nice to see people still have hopes for this rather strong device!

Come on folks. If we can get root than we SHOULD have root. Just because you previously gave up doesn't mean you can't do it at minimum as a side project right?

If you are running Package Disabler Pro, the developer said you need to enable all disabled packages before updating Android.

Be aware that in order to update your version of Android, you might need all original apps in place. It is advised to always have a backup of disabled packages so you can restore them later.

Then, most likely, the update will fail. Updates like this have checks to make sure that you haven't modified the system.

Are you guys going to factory reset after the install? Is that necessary?

Im a little nervous about trying because the program is sketchy and don't have a clue if it will trip knox.
SRS root just posted support for BOG9 on their twitter account. I'm afraid to try, is someone willing to take the risk and reply their result?
srsroot does not work sm-920v with ok7. The program falsely reports that it is rooted.

Yes, I tried multiple times myself. The app says it is rooted but is not. I beleive the app communicates with their twitter account automatically that is why your seeing that their twitter account shows support for our phones because it is falsely reporting that we have root.
Hi everyone,
I have just purchased an i7plus from dhgate and I was wondering if there is any way to root this device or install an Android ROM without the iOS theme? I have looked and can only find content for i6s not i7plus.
If I can root it then I can remove the Chinese bloatwear apps that are preinstslled but if I can just run a stock Android ROM that would be great too
Thanks

Delete this thread. People have already talked about this so much. Those files were released by a bot that generates it for any device. We don't have an unlocked bootloader, flashing this will fail. You're essentially baiting people and wasting their time.

Root DOES exist on the S8 Plus CAN and US variants
I just went on Chainfire's website and the root DOES exist.
Just do CTRL + F or Command +F for Macs and type in the Model Number. In my case it was the G955W. So yes the OP is right and yes there is a root out for all S8 Plus devices for Snapdragon variants.
And no this is not a bot that generates it, this is the real thing.
