New Sprint S7... goal is to unlock Hotspot with or w/out rerooting? - General Questions and Answers

I just bought a S7. I rerooted my previous S4 years ago and unlocked hotspot/tethering.
Im wanting to know the easiest most effective way to unlock the hotspot/tethering for my S7. Is it possible w/o rooting?
If the only option is w-rerooting. What rooting method is currently the safest?

Rooting is the best option, without root then PDAnet is about your only option.
As for the best way to root, do a Google search for:
"How to root (your model number)"

when you say " model number" do you mean S7? or do you mean Build Number?

No
S7 is the device name
Build number designates which firmware you have.
I mean your model number. Go to system settings>about phone>model number
system settings>about phone>device info>model number

Canadian G920W8 5.11 Rogers Root?

I've been looking around, but haven't seen anyone actually saying that my device is able to root therefore I don't want to go rooting it with something that "might work"
Carrier: Rogers
Model Number: G920w8
Build: VLU3B0J7
Android Version: 5.11
Could someone tell me if it can be or not?
Anyone? I am also looking for this. CF auto root seems to only have 6.0.1 and not 5.1.1

Do I need unl. bootloader to root?

Hi,
I'm using Samsung S6 with stock software and would like to root it using CF-Auto-root. My question is whether I need to unlock bootloader first or is it safe to flash image from CF-Auto-root site by ODIN?
I don't care about knox. I'm O.K. with tripping it. Just don't want to brick the phone.

Thanks for info. You're right. I've just rooted my S6 using CF-AutoRoot. Looking forward to install TWRP and some good alternative ROM.

Galaxy S7 TELSTRA root.

Hi,
I recently updated my S7 (Australian Telstra model) and can't find any rooting available for it. Has anyone got a root out for Build Number: MMB29K.G930FXXU1BPIT yet? Baseband version is G930FXXU1BPIQ and when I click 'Software Update' it checks for a latest software and tells me it's the latest already with the current version: G930FXXU1BPIT/G930FTEL1BPIT/G930FXXU1BPIQ.
I also hear alot about 'tripping knox' when you root a Galaxy S7. Can someone please explain what is meant by this?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, knox WILL be tripped for the international model of the S7. No way to avoid that. Tripped knox counter means void warranty

Help rooting Canadian Galaxy S6

Basically I have a Canadian S6 (sm-G920W8) and I'm looking to root it. On chainfires autoroot for my device the last 5 characters of the Build ID's do not match (my build ID is: mmb29k.g920w8vlu5cpk4).
Does anybody know if there is a root method that works for my phone? Btw I'm on 6.0.1.
Thanks
You can root your phone with CF-Auto-Root without a problem. The root's build ID don't have to match your build ID.

All in one software for Rom removal / flash

Hi everyone,
I hope you all had a great Christmas,
I am a Mac user and have an android tablet, and I am wanting to remove the ROM and install my custom ROM onto it.
Is there any software that helps you do this as an all in one software. As I'm not too familiar with android?
All the best
David

We might be able to help but you need to post your model number, without that information we won't know what you can or can't use on your device or tell you how to do it.
Android isn't like PC, you can't just wipe it and install whatever you want.
You can only install ROMs that are specifically built for your specific device model number.
Do you know if there are any custom ROMs for your specific model number? If not, do a Google search for:
"Custom ROMs for (your model number)"
If any exist for your device, that should find it/them. If it doesn't find anything for your specific model number then there probably aren't any ROMs for your model number.
