Galaxy S7 Unlocked In The US?

Is It Worth It To Buy A Galaxy S7 Unlocked In The US?

If you want a rootable phone then go for it. This is the first Android phone I've had that hasn't been rooted and to be honest, I don't mind as much as I thought. I like Samsung pay and I wouldn't flash aosp and lose features even if I could.

If you are a developer then go for it but you not so its a save that your root is unlocked

Please Help Me Root My Samsung S7 Edge SM-G935F Exynos WITHOUT Tripping Knox

Hi,
I just needed a bit of advice/help. I've just bought a new Samsung S7 Edge SM-G935F Exynos and i was reading this thread and i wanted to know how i could root my phone version without tripping the Knox counter and without invalidating my warranty?
I would really appreciate any help as I'm new to the android scene and have just moved from ios.
Thanks in advance.

this thread will give you the info but it requires a hardware service box.

Hi and we to xda-assist,
actually your possibilities are very limited as you running a unsupported firmware, the exploits that ping-pong uses are closed on your firmware and I doubt that downgrading is a alternative because once you have the unsupported firmware version running on your device even the bootloader will be upgraded and you can't downgrade without relatively great risk of seriously damaging the phone, if can be done at all.
So next is probably to decide how important root privileges are to you and if you're willing to sacrifice your warranty for that..
I would nonetheless recommend you to ask in this forum again, may be someone with the same device has a progressive idea and can help you further.

By the way, it's always a good idea to research the device of interest regarding root & custom roms before you buy it..
Good luck

Stock experience in S8+

Hi All .. Appreciate the XDA community as XDA has always been the place for anything android for me..
I have been using Samsung S8+ and i love the phone. Recently i have been observing a lot of lag and i feel having stock android on this hardware would be wonderful.
Is there any stock android rom available with ODIN support which wouldnt trip the knox ..
PS. My S8+ is a Exynos variant SM-G955F model and i use it with Nova
Any suggestions are appreciated.

It is not possible to root and not trip Knox....

Simple question about rooting s6 and s6 edge

So i have a verizon s6 running 7.0
baseband g920vvrs4dqk1
build # nrd90m.g920vvrs4dqk1
security patch nov.1 2017
I also have an at&t s6 edge running 7.0
baseband g925aucs7erc1
build # nrd90m.g925aucs7erc1
security patch march 1 2018
So I've been searching for months looking for info on xda and the web to get root for them but from everything I've found says it's not possible without tripping knox.. but everything seems to either brick, boot-loop or is not legit.
What I want to know is:
Can I get root for either one of them?
I'm not worried about the warranty since they are already expired or Knox since if I can get root I'd like to get rid of it all together and I really want them rooted so I can get a debloat Rom for them and play around with them..
So can someone please help me and give me some good news for Christmas... thanks for any time, help and/or advise it's greatly appreciated and respected

You can't root any AT&T and Verizon variant of S6 series (S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge Plus) no matter what.

I found a way to root Android phone for free. You can have a try. phone-manager.com

So your free way is dr.phone?

Because the locked bootloader? That sucks.. was hoping it was just because of the warranty and no one wanting to avoid it...

Yeah, the root tool is free. But not others. Just have a try.

Ok I'll give it a shot...
