I have kept my 930T stock. However I'm considering rooting because the Debloater tool is no longer working after Google's security update and the disablers don't work with the new Nougat version either.
Does anyone know if the S7 can be rooted with 7.0 installed on it or not?
Thanks!
Nope

No, we were only able to root because of the 6.0.1 kernel leak. The only thing we can do is hope for the best.

oh ok, so there needs to be another leak? understood. thanks for the clarification.
All things are possible. Root is in the making. Sit back, everything is exploitable. Btw TMO Nougat 7.0 is hot outta the oven and smooth af tho. Lol

There's another package disabler in the Play Store that works on Nougat.

My Google Opinion app paid for it too ?

Yea, trying it right now. The installer zip is for 5.1.1. I can't get it to work so I think we're SOL for now.
Ok~ thanks

Maybe one of our devs can figure it out...it may just have something to do with Flashfire. Fingers crossed for getting it to work on the Verizon S6!
Not even the latest version of xposed working on this model? Geesh... Does TWRP even exist yet for the G920V? If I could back up I'd try it.

No, since we don't have root for 5.1.1. And no twrp either

Thanks for catching me up to speed. I recently got an s6 I'm on 5.0.2 with pong root. Wondering if this still won't work?
This is for TW 5.1.1. and will not work on 5.02. We need to pray someone comes up with a root method for 5.1.1 or they get exposed working on 5.0.x. The later seems unlikely and we can holy hope they figure out root on 5.1.1 for Verizon. Love this phone but the development limitations are a real bummer.

Ya, I posted this thread right after he released the first beta...he hadn't put the requirement of 5.1.1 in the OP at that point so I was bummed once I realized that.
Let's cross our fingers for root on 5.1.1 I'm really surprised about the lack of developing options for this model. Must be locked down pretty good

Ummmm what do you expect with a locked bootloader?
Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
We've had locked bootloaders since the S3. We've managed to get root and Xposed on many devices. The S6 is a beast of a device, I'm surprised there isn't more work put into it. Because honestly, root is virtually useless right now. I am on rooted oc3, running Rick's ROM, and have a battery booster. That's bout all you can do. Root explorers are nice, if you have a reason. I am hoping for a break through. Patience is a virtue.
Just got notified of a new update. Sprint's website says that it fixed a major security issue (Stagefright). Anyone know anything about this? Any performance improvements/new features? Is it rootable like ZV7?
I just got notified about an update on my 996 as well. Hoping someone can clarify on what this update changes.
Not 100% sure of the changes, but take a look for yourself! Just received this in the morning, and uploaded to Google Drive. Enjoy!

Can i take this update?I am on v7 rooted system.img.Will it work if i update.?Thanks
No. If you are rooted it will not work.
So has anyone else's gotten really crappy from doing this switch? i have had more problems after this update, and the 5.1.1 update made the phone finally what its supposed to be.
If you need root for the new update, I can do it
Just send me a system backup

What would one have to do to hide an update like this? As far as i can see it's not worth unrooting for.
Edit: just figured it out. My apologies.
how do you turn off OTA updates?

I am currently on LS996zv8 by sprint Is it possible to root now or downgrade? Their is nothing on the internet I came across to be able to root zv8.

If you long press the notification you can open app info and disable notifications from it.
It won't fully "disable" the updates but itll at least stop nagging you about them.
Probably a better way to do it but this works for me.
Are you people aware of the stagefright security issues and the recently published exploit? Did you really not know about the worst security flaw in Android affecting about 950 million Android phones?
Check this page out for details:
https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/category/technologies/operating-systems/mobile/android/
Install this upgrade as soon as possible, it will ensure that your phone is protected from the stagefright bugs plaguing Android for months, we'll since discovered a few months ago. It is the most important update your phone has ever received.
LG does not have this update for the European Flex2 yet, lucky you that you get it already.

I read that as well, I am curious to see where this will go.... fingers crossed!
It would explain why we haven't received 5.1.1 yet. They may just jump us straight to 6.0 but it also means we will have to choose whether to stay rooted on 5.0 or give up root for 6.0 since it can (currently) only be rooted if you have an unlocked bootloader.

Indeed. Due to selinux (which is a great feature), rooting 5.1.1 or later requires an selinux permissive kernel. Otherwise you end up with a bootloop after rooting. And the only way to get an selinux permissive kernel is to build from samsung sources... basically Samsung has officially defeated root as of Android 5.1.1 with it's heavy integration of KNOX.

WHEN it gets released you will be able to take it via OTA there will be no need to flash. WHEN it gets released you will be free to go to stock no root 6.0

Yes, but ... if you are rooted and activate sdm to allow the OTA notification and take the OTA, you do it knowing that you are saying goodbye to root, probably for the remaining life of your phone.
I dont think marshmallow has enough in it for me to loose root. lol no thanks
Anyone know if this will stop root? I haven't rooted yet, I was curious n checked for a update n well apparently there was one here's info
Best wait. We have root because of the engineer boot. Don't see why it would buy it could.

No, you're fine to update, I'm on the latest firmware, rooted, with xposed installed. You're gonna wanna change the kernel governor after rooting to interactive or on demand fyi.

I'm assuming yes because you'll be on the PG1 firmware and that's what I'm rooted on.

Ironic, I just went back to PH1 last night to resolve some quirks with the T-mobile software I was having. Guess I will leave it alone and wait for the OTA to hit.

Is it pretty safe to say if we're on the T-Mobile Nougat we will need to do the "full stock firmware" and flash via odin?

You need to be on stock software period...
Don't use that link though. I jumped the gun on that, it's just the beta downloads.
Will we be able to pick up the OTA if we're still running the Verizon Nougat beta?
Just got mine. Wiped and installed and upgraded.

No OTA yet here.
I have the Nougat update coming through on my phone right now. Have been running fully stock, latest OTA. Download started on its own.
