How do you root with PK1?
KillerClaw321 said:
We are not able to root Android 7.0 on the Galaxy S7. The only thing we can do is let those know who are wanting to update that there is not root.
I do believe it is possible to downgrade back to PK1 from the latest nougat update. Please correct me if I'm wrong. But once you downgrade you should be able to root again.

I cannot root with PK1 either. Odin flashes fine, but root script will not work no matter what I do. Any advice?

Copy the directory, then run cmd in administrative mode. Then type "cd (directory)" for example cd C/Users/KillerClaw/Desktop/Root . Then type root.bat, then leave your phone plugged in and watch it restart by itself... done you should be rooted
Still having issues

I figured out the problem, it was my firewall. SU installed, but is still not working and cannot be updated. I tried but failed installing twrp. I'm out of ideas

It is impossible to install twrp on this s7 as we do not have an unlocked bootloader...

Thank you. I do not have many options for phones with T mobile. I loved my S5 but I have bad reception on Sprint.

I'm running 4.1.1 on my I9020A rooted. Stock Rom and Kernel. I searched the forums and the web, and every article I find gives instructions on going back to 2.3.X, THEN removing root. I don't want to go back, in fact I only want to un-root shortly, then go back to a rooted phone.
So my question is, Can I go through the locking steps of un-rooting, but leave the current ROM (4.1.1) installed?

Delete, IN THIS ORDER:
/system/Superuser.apk
/system/xbin/su
/system/bin/su
Reboot your phone.
Root gone. If you want to root again, go to Androidsu.com, download the appropriate zip file, flash it, and you have root again.

Thanks for the quick reply! Should I additionally go through the fastboot steps of locking the bootloader as well?

No. Unlocked bootloader and root are 2 different things.

What he said. Unless you're returning your phone for warranty repair or you're worried about security (like me), there's no reason to lock your bootloader.
I see. Thank you guys!
I have no Superuser.apk in the System/ folder.
I can only find com.noshufou.android.su-1.apk in data/app/
The other two files you listed I have found.

That's the one. Delete it, it's the app to manage the su rights. su in xbin/bin is the binary for SuperUser
Ok, so I attempted to unroot. I opened es file explorer (Which launched with SU rights) and I was able to delete com.noshufou.android.su-1.apk in data/app/.
Then when I tried to delete su in /xbin, I was denied. Tried deleting su in /bin as same results. Denied.
Any thoughts?
Just flash stock. Now unrooted. To go back flash CWM and SU. This sounds a lot easier if oldblue's suggestion isn't working for you.
Use this for step by step.

You need to delete su binary via adb. Don't believe you can delete it while phone is under Android...

I'm new to android / linux. Been a Windows admin for 15+ years. I thought it not possible to delete SU while using SU, but I figured I'd try anyway. So ADB requires phone in FASTBOOT mode, correct?

In this case I think he would need to be in fastboot though.
After installing root when I open the SuperSU to update, the phone reboots and every time it turn on past about 10 seconds and restarts again. I have to repair by Sony PC Companion and install everything again and when I do root it happens all again.
I have locked bootloader and 15.0.A.2.17 stock.
Why I can't do root?
I had similar problem.After rooting the phone rebooted when loading...I unlocked the bootloader and now its working normaly...
how are you trying to root?

That doesn't work on locked bootloaders. You may have to restore to stock then do the following in this thread.

I rooted my device using the root specific to this device. Now when I open up Super SU it says the SU binary needs to be updated. How do I go about this?

It doesn't work. Fails, and reboot to twrp does nothing. Im with OP.....how do you update the binary? Im trying to install xposed and I suspect this old binary is the reason it won't install.

Maybe flash the latest version of supersu from twrp? I'm just guessing because I run a stock unrooted rom.
Ive had this phone since January, I had rooted it and flash the Unofficial CM12.1. A couple months ago I reflashed the stock ROM, MM, I didnt realize I lost the root and TWRP, I need help re-rooting because I do not remember hot to

What I was able to do was use an older version of Kingroot, i think it was 4.6.5 or something like that. It took me a few tries with the app until it finally rooted. Then I downloaded flashify from the play store and flashed TWRP. Booted into recovery and installed superSU to replace Kingroot.
If that version doesnt work, keep searching/using different versions to see if any of them work and let me know what worked. I had to kdz back to stock and stupidly took the update to 20c and am now trying to re-root mine.
BTW if your phone isnt rooted you wont be able to boot to recovery until you root and flash TWRP image

Ok I was able to re-root. Follow these simple steps below:
Find and download superSU 2.76 zip
Reboot to fastboot via adb
Boot TWRP image via fastboot
Once in recovery, select install
Locate superSU.zip and install
Once completed, reboot system
Verify root via root checker app
So far so good. No force closes or bootloops yet.

Hi
I'm really new at this so please bear with me if I'm asking dumb questions.
A couple of weeks ago I tried to root my device Galaxy S6 SM-G920F EGY. I ended up breaking my phone but then I fixed it by installing a stock rom that I found online.
Since then every Root Checker app that I've downloaded says that my device is unrooted. however, when I go to use secret browsing mode on the Samsung browser it says rooting detected.
Also I'm pretty sure that my device had 32 GB storage. Now it says I have 16GB of storage.
Please enlighten me on what the hell I did and how to fix it.

No I don't have either installed. For all intents and purposes my phone is unrooted. That's why I'm so confused when the Samsung browser says "root detected... cannot launch secret browsing "
