Hi guys!
I rooted my S7 (SM-G930F [EU-Exynos]) when i first bought it (1 month after release), i rooted it and installed Xposed.
This was a long time ago, but now my phone is begging me once a day to update (which i cant because it is rooted and i want to keep it that way) and this is annoying me.
Now i read alot of threads about installing 7.0 and rooting it but i have not seen a guide to update a already rooted phone (without loosing data) to 7.0.
May someone be able to help me? I dont want to just flash 7.0 and setup my phone from scratch, just update.
And what about Xposed? Is it going to make trouble if i update? Do i have to update Xposed aswell?
Thanks in advanced!
Xposed doesn't support Nougat / 7.0 yet. If you upgrade to 7.0 you will lose Xposed entirely.
I may very well be wrong, but I don't think you can upgrade to 7.0 without doing a full wipe.

Hello, due to me having to replace a broken S6 that was running 5.0.2, my new phone was running 5.1.1 by default. When Android M came out, I decided to go ahead and upgrade, hoping for an exploit. However, this hasn't seemed to happen yet. So my question is, since 5.0.2 is the only OS version I know of that can be rooted for my device, is there a way I can downgrade from M to that version? Or is there any other way I can have a rooted phone? I am by no means an expert with this stuff, but any help would be IMMENSELY appreciated.
Unfortunately, no and no. The consensus seems to be that a new root method is unlikely to be found.

Attempting to downgrade at this point will render the phone useless until you flash the version you are on or higher through Odin.
Hi Guys,
i have some questions concerning rooting. I have a stock Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F) with T-Mobile branding. I would like to install a Custom ROM because my battery life is so bad but i love this phone (for example because of its water resistance and the fact that my hobby is diving ).
So my plan is:
1. root my device and install a custom Nougat ROM (to change the screen resolution)
2. when the official update is out i want to go back to stock Firmware
3. now my question: Is it possible to receive OTA Updates after getting back to stock firmware?
I know know is set to 0x1 after a root and im going to lose my varranty but thats no problem, i would only like to receive OTA Updates after going back to stock firmware.
Thank you for your help!
Greetings from Munich and have a great new Year 2017
Hi!
As long as your device is stock, recovery included, you should receive the ota no problem. So flashing stock firmware and recovery should do the trick. :good:
Don't accept an ota if you do happen to get an update notification, if you are not completely stock. It will fail.
Last resort too, is flashing an updated version manually. If that's possible for your device.
Good luck!
I posted i thought but don't see it i rooted an LG ls675 with king root removed a couple preinstalled apps sprint zone and 2 amazon apps I mistakenly tried ota failed found out this unrooted my phone and tried another ota that failed also running stock installed a root browser titanium bu busy box ect do i need to remove these apps or will i have to do factory reset to get this update running 5.1.1
Not much activity on the AT&T sub forum so I'm here for help if possible.....
I rooted my AT&T S6 when I first got it 2 years ago and haven't messed with it since. Still running CleanRom 1.1-OE2 5.0.2 baseband AOE2 ......
I also have another ATT S6 thru work. It's all stock, no root unfortunately. It was recently updated to 7.0 and got the itch to update my personal S6 to a more modern version of Android but don't want to loose root.
Is it possible to update to a version of Android 6 or 7 and keep root since my phone is already rooted and running an old kernel etc.... ????
I guess I'm not really worried about voiding the warranty and/or tripping knox or whatever, since I've had the phone 2yrs I believe all factory warranty has expired right?
Remember it's been a while (almost 2yrs) since I've hacked on a phone so I'm a newb again lol!
Any help is appreciated.
There's no way to use 5.1.1,6.0.1 and 7.0 with root on SM-S920A
And you can't trip the knox counter on SM-G920A
Hey Guys,
i'm owning an Galaxy S7 (G930F) and it's have a Vodafone Brand(Germany), (boot logo and some apps from Vodafone).
I'm really pissed of the update schedule from Samsung, and want a root to, so i decided to install a custom Rom.
But my latest custom rom phone was some years ago ( old Samsung GT 8150 Galaxy W) I think since it have changed many
I want a ROM that have an auto updater, i had that on the old GT 8150, when an update was ready, it was a easy way to install.
Its possible that knox will not be triggered?
Which Version of Rom can i install? I had some issues with my 8150, when i started testing some ROMs, some Roms had the boot bug, and then i tried to install the Stock ROM, but then was no able to boot.
On this time this Infos says me S7.
Android 7.0
Basicbandversion: G930FXXU1DQH6
Build: NRD90M.G930FXXu1DQH6
Knox 2.7.1

Sorry for that bad english,
Thanks and regards,

Custom ROMs require unlocking the bootloader, which triggers knox.
is there a simple way to get root on my S7 then?

Hi all,
im coming from S5 where everything was easy. Now on my used S8+, Oero was allready installed. After Oreo doesnt seems to be very popular and i havent found a way to root it without a custom kernel and im quite uncertainty on that, im wondering if I can just downgrade to Nougat and root it afterwards with TWRP & CF-Auto-Root.
Downgrading doesnt seems to be a problem, but do i have to consider anything before I go that way?
Got the G955F with Exynos.
Thanks
