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.

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.

I am guessing you are trying to go back for root right? Well, you cannot go back. It will not work, and you will brick your device in the process. Don't worry, me and LGMono are working on getting root for MM right now, we are VERY close if this TOT is authentic...
Any root for the h900 yet

Zvnexus... I humbly and respectfully ask if you've made progress since your post in June? I haven't seen any major announcement, so probably not. But maybe, just maybe, you've made some progress to share???
I ask as an ATT security update is being announced on my phone.

Hey all! Good news! A 9-year-old bug called the "Dirty Cow" exploit still exists in the Linux/Android kernel can easily grant root on any Android phone!!! See the video below.
http://www.xda-developers.com/9-year...on-of-android/
So there's another bug to exploit for root and even possibly unlocking the bootloader! The bug has been fixed recently in Linux but hasn't been rolled into Android yet. If anyone can get this working on my AT&T LG V10 (running Marshmallow) I'll give a reward of $50! Plus you'll be my hero! Now get crackin!
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.
Will the Stylo 1 get Nougat 7.0 or possibly 7.1? if so, when? and if it does, will it overhaul the ugly looking UI and make it look as good as the Stylo 2/ LG G5? Thanks
Which model/carrier do you have?
I doubt it but the T-Mobile/MetroPCS version is more likely to get it than the other versions (better specs), IF (and that is a BIG IF) we do get it.
Again, I highly doubt it because it had its one update. I hope they surprise me though.

I really want to root and I am searching online since 4 days but couldn't find any clear information that i can fallow (or because of my lack of knowledge)
I don't care if i need to downgrade, or give up from "fancy" features. All i want a control on a device that i pay thousand $.
So my s8+ has:
One UI version : 1
Android Version: 9
Baseband Version: G955WVLU5CSC1 with BELL
I am new to rooting but big supporting of Open software, and idea of meaning of actually owning a device.
Please help, or any direction.
Thanks.
I have been dreaming there would have a rooting method since 2017 ( I got the same phone as you but from Telus - I paid off and now switched to Rogers). As far as I know, since our phones' bootloader can't be unlocked, we can kiss goodbye for rooting. I told myself that being a two years old phone, if there would have a method it would have been surfaced. This S8+ would be my last Sam**** phone, I am preparing to sell it on eBay and switch to something like OnePlus ( they are the most easy phone to root).

After you get safe strap you can then do some magic a hacks and acheive a rooted nougat system. Again you cannot root oreo or pie with this method. But it does allow you to do 1 of 3 options. Root with nougat and rev 5 combo bootloader , install a oreo system and rev 5 oreo bootloader, or install pie with rev 5 bootloader. As of right now all 3 systems have a rev 5 bootloader
