Hi, can galaxy s7 be updated to nougat without losing root. Has anyone tried it with flashfire? I have a rooted s7 marshmallow but wish to update without losing root or wiping.
Nougat is already here.. my 2 gs7 edge were update last week

You could have updated and then re-rooted again by now
Think its possible if you download a pre-rooted rom.
Yes i know the other possibilities, but i don't want to lose my data and install everything again, thats why i want to know if it is possible to update without losing root and wiping. With flashfire it was possible to that on marshmallow but i dont know if it wil work if i update to nougat

Unfortunately no, you'd have to Odin back to stock in order to take the updates.

I have seen that it is possible with other phones by updating with flashfire but i want to know if it works fine for the s7 too...
Still no solution -_-
I upgrade between nougat firmware using flashfire and just put the SuperSU/Magisk(switched to Magisk recently, both work) zip in the flash chain. So it works. Not sure about marshmallow to nougat though.
Steps to update....?
Would you be so kind as to provide us the steps to updating with stock ROM? I have a rooted S7 with Magisk/TWRP that I would like to update (without losing root) to the latest stock ROM from Samsung.
It would be greatly appreciated!

Note: You still need a PC to flash the bootloader and modem with Odin, but that might not be necessary for smaller updates. This may not work too well coming from MM to Nougat.
In Flashfire, add the AP file only from the ROM. Next, add a HOME_CSC file from your current CSC and make sure it says "Process cache". You can mix HOME_CSC files from any region with newer firmware marked for any other region. Extremely old HOME_CSC files will likely break the newest firmware though. Make sure to turn off EverRoot if you intend to use Magisk, in which case you should add the Magisk zip to the flash chain.(don't use v13 yet). Add any other mods you typically flash here (eg. I have a zip which disables tima in build.prop to keep encryption working) Also make sure "Preserve recovery" is on. Set the device to shutdown when done. (Download mode won't work when booted into by Flashfire. It's a bug) Next boot into download mode and flash the BL and CP files from the firmware package with Odin and reboot. It might boot back into TWRP, in which case just boot into system.
You're awesome, Curtis!
Though I'm still scratching my head: so even though I have Magisk/TWRP already installed on Nougat (to gain root access) and I wish to update with the latest Nougat ROM from Samsung that was just posted on sammobile 2 days ago, am I correct in saying that I would STILL have to install Flashfire and EverRoot for this process to work?
Thank you for your tutelage and patience.

EverRoot injects SuperSU, basically as if by CF AutoRoot. Magisk has it's own rooting solution, which despite being compatible with SuperSU will likely fail safetynet if Supersu is installed. Also I have no idea which order it will flash them in so I can't predict the outcome here...
Basically. If you want SuperSU use EverRoot. If you want Magisk, disable it and use the Magisk zip. Both will grant root access when done.

I made the error of upgrading to 5.1.1 (S6 on EE) before rooting and now I understand Ping Pong won't work?
So can someone suggest the easiest way to root? I'd rather not trip knox but I will if I need to.
I saw a post about rooting without tripping knox but it lost the fingerprint scanner and I'd rather not lose any functionality.
Thanks!
I have the same question. I don't need samsung pay, but I don't want to broke the fingerprint sensor.

Flashing TWRP through Odin is really easy:
Run Odin
put your phone in d/l mode and connect it
choose the TWRP file to flash
press start
After that, you have got a custom recovery menu from where you can install a clean ROM or a custom kernel.
Literallly, the whole procedure takes just 2 clicks in Odin and 1 Minute.
Make sure you use the latest version of both Odin and TWRP and you're fine; i reinstalled some Samsung apps and features like fingerprint scanner; working flawless.

Does it "trip" KNOX?
Edit: Yep, it does for those wondering.
The way I get root is to flash via Odin, Unikernel then you will have root on your stock rom. If you then want a custom recovery I use Flashify from the playstore to flash twrp recovery, it's so easy and so quick and works on firmware 5.0.2 and the latest 5.1.1
Thanks for the advice all, will this wipe all my data during the process?

No but it will trip knox.
Thanks to all, the ODIN method worked a treat, very easy and quick and didn't lose any of my data.
Coming back to this, I just noticed that this method of root has changed SELinux to permissive. Why is that? I'm not too up on these things but doesn't that mean it is less protected from malware?
I was wondering, I have rooted my phone using Chainfire's CF-Autoroot.
Normally this will disable OTA updates, I'm aware of that.
But is there some way to manually flash the monthly security updates that Samsung releases each month ?
(or at least they say they are going to release them each month).
Is there a source somewhere where we can download them and flash then using Odin or TWRP ?

Are you sure ? Because when I check manually for updates, I get the message stating that my phone has changed (root) and so updates cannot be downloaded and installed. It says that I need to try to download it via a PC tool from Samsung.

Ok guys, now that we have established that root is available and working for the European version (which I have)...
Anyone know if the monthly patches from Samsung/Google will be available for download somewhere, so we can flash it manually and still be up-to-date ?
I would like to know this as well. I would guess they could be flashed with Odin?
I would like to know this. I am on the W8 variant rooted with autoroot and wondering how will I go about updating to new patches.

you should flash your firmware via Odin to unroot, apply OTA, root again with auto root.

Yes, I am aware of this possibility.
I was just hoping in applying the monthly patch without full flash (which completely wipes the phone).
Indeed, flashing will reset the phone...I found that the hard way last night.
There is a topic on S7edge forum about Chainfire's FlashFire app. It claims that can flash without resetting the phone.
Did not try it but I will follow the discussions there. Would be perfect to flash a new f/w and not have the phone reset. ( like good old times
Maybe it is possible to prevent the userdata and internal storage to be wiped by flashing the official firmware ?
Anyone has succeeded to do so ?
I managed to download the complete new firmware G935FXXU1APD3 from Sammobile and flashed it with ODIN with the phone in download mode.
It did not overwrite any of my personal data or apps and the phone worked as before however you will need to root again afterwards, but that doesn't take long anyway.
The only other thing I had to do was copy the mixer_paths and mixer_gain files to the SD card then replace them as the new firmware overrides the volume hack if you have it in place.

I guess that's what Chainfire trying to achieve with Flashfire. To be able to directly flash the Updates without having to manually backup/restore anything. Let's see how this goes. As of today you could flash the full oding images within flashfire.
Will definitely try when the next update for my phone variant comes.
I did take a TWRP backup just in case but was pleasantly surprised when the phone booted back to where it was.
I can confirm that the Flashfire method can be used for updates. Grab the update package, flash it through flashfire, and even select the "ever root" option to maintain root. Works great!

How did you get the update package? When trying to search for an update on the phone it says I modified it.
Or did you load an full stock rom?

Grabbed a full stock rom, extracted the modem and system packages, and flashed them specifically through flashfire. A link to the full stock rom was posted on the Canadian S7 thread in the discussion forum.

This is basically the same thing they are doing with other devices. Since Samsung never released their September Security patch due to them addressing the BlueBorne problem, they have been re-releasing the QH* updates as QI* but they include the BlueBorne patch. For some reason, Verizon didn't include the BlueBorne patch in the changelog like they have been for every other phone.
For example. The Galaxy S6, Galaxy S8, and Galaxy S8+ updates all say
Includes: Blueborne security patch
The current software update gives you the most up to date Android® security patches on your device.

Who knows why they chose to include the exact same changelog as the prior update with the same security patch. Whatever. Verizon sucks. We all know it.

Also, I'm not sure how much longer I'll be doing this though because the screen on my S5 is going bad (flickering and flashing green whenever I bring it out of sleep) so this weekend I'm getting an S8+.
so its safe to say that the new modem ql2 is pretty much the same sa the previous update?
Updated to this build from QH2, flashed in odin, then booted up, reflashed TWRP and SU, froze system updater all good. If you do end up leaving, this will just be another loss for this model as no one else is updating the stock images anymore.
Thank you for your work on this. Does this have root, and if not, do those of us with locked bootloaders have a way to keep root and safestrap?
Tell us how the S8+ goes and if you can unlock the bootloader and root that. Thanks again!

For the record, this loses root, and loses safestrap. I'm too dumb to know how to root this since I can't get TWRP on this phone, so I'm going to hope the way back to root and safestrap is get back Kitkat and then up to PB1 starting over using these steps.. This will probably be better for someone who knows what they're doing or just wants to upgrade for the security updates and doesn't care about root.

I have a 15 Emmc chip and unlocked the bootloader via this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve.../testers-required-easier-root-method-t3561529
I flashed EMMC_15_VZW_QB2_STOCK_MAGISK_ROOT.zip to my phone. I also have TWRP installed.
Now, if I understand all this correctly, I can simply flash your Developler Boatloader friendly version via TWRP? This will upgrade my OS to the latest update? Then flash Magisk to get root back?
This all seems too simple.
You will also have to re-flash TWRP via Odon.

I too followed the instructions in the thread above for a CID 15 eMMC.
I was unable to flash the "G900VVRU2DQI2_G900VVZW2DQI2_G900VVRU2DQI2_HOME_No_ Aboot.tar.md5.zip" from the OP using TWRP, but was able to do it no problem using Odin 3.12 (AP option).
After flashing that I then used Odin again (AP option) to flash the latest TWRP (https://dl.twrp.me/klte/twrp-3.1.1-0-klte.img.tar.html). I then did another factory reset on the phone (since I had already just wiped my data following the bootloader instructions) and reinstalled Magisk from TWRP and MagiskManager.
Everything looks great so far. Thanks for this update OP and for those of you providing guidance.
I have G900VVRU2DPD1 with unlocked bootloader and twrp 3.0.0-0.
Can I flash the
Developer Bootloader Friendly/No Aboot No-Wipe Firmware:
G900VVRU2DQI2_G900VVZW2DQI2_G900VVRU2DQI2_HOME_No_ Aboot.tar.md5.zip ?
If yes, after flashing, will my bootloader remain PD1 unlocked? Is it OK to have unlocked PD1 bootloader with DQI2 firmware?
Will the TWRP and root be lost? And how I can get back TWRP? Using ODIN? If root is lost then can not use flashify to flash TWRP.
If using odin to flash TWRP, then I can just flash supersu zip in zip to get root back, right?
Thanks.
I guess this is slightly off topic since it's not about this specific firmware version, but here goes ~
How do you guys go about extracting firmware/modems from stock ROM updates?? It boggles my mind lol. I'm running a OP3T now, but am working on an old device (and I still have my old S5 too). Over the years it appears people are now able to do this process for most devices and make it flashable one way or another.
I wish I understood how this gets done (and possibly figure out how to do it myself). Would love a guide / video / brief explanation with terms I could look up if it's long & involved??
Thanks for the work!

Stock ROM update is just a tar archive with files inside.
The names of the files are mostly self-explaining.
Use some tool to access the archive, like Total Commander or 7zip archiver.

Just pack what you want into tar archive and it will be flashable.
No need to attach checksum.
But it's possible too.

Can I reuse the same Magisk from the "EMMC_15_VZW_QB2_STOCK_MAGISK_ROOT.zip" file from the other thread on how to unlock bootloader and root, or should I download the latest Magisk and MagiskManager?
Edit 1: Okay, I installed Magisk after updating to the latest QI2 and am rooted. However, I found that I'm missing busybox and safestrap. Do I have to reinstall both of those as well or can I just reinstall busybox?
Also, QI2 lost tether/hotspot capability as it reverted back to asking to purchase the service (I'm also on the old grandfathered unlimited plan)...is there a way to get it back as when on rooted QB2?
Edit 2: Did some more research while hiding at work...so now I know, having TWRP recovery is enough and just need to reinstall busybox.
Now still need to find a way to get hotspot capability back like when on the rooted magisk QB2...

Odin will not let you flashback to a previous boot loader version, you have to do it through TWRP. So either flash the nougat firmware with TWRP first or any nougat based rom, then flash nougat via odin which will remove root and TWRP.

I was under the impression you could via Odin if OEM unlock was enabled, without needing TWRP or root. https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-how-to-downgrade-android-oreo-8-0-t3821495
edit: As for banking, if you go root then flash back to stock you should have no issues. Even if you stay root, things like Magisk will hide root status from apps and pass safetynet. Your biggest issue would be the loss of Knox, which voids warranty and breaks some Samsung apps.

Ok so listen, it can be done as i said but it's not easy. The choice you have of course before attempting this is to just install a android 7 custom ROM? many nougat ROMs are just stock with the bloatware removed and the boot-loader version isn't checked during flash.
Here's another way to go back, i can't guarantee it will work though i haven't tried it on an S7.
Downgrade to an older firmware with an older bootloader even if one keeps the newer bootloader on his device.
So what's how's it done?
Download the firmware file (.tar) which you want to downgrade to and open it with an archiver application (7zip). Extracts all the files to a folder and repacks them again in a .tar file but leaving every file out which ends in .bin (e.g. sboot.bin etc.). This .tar file can now be flashed like any other firmware file via Odin and it should run through it without any problems.
Hope this helps.

How did you root pie?
I have decided to share screenshots
I'm a us user as you can see I have volte working and I got Dolby working .
Make sure you have the latest Oreo bootloader installed this so can down grade to Oreo if I want to.
Do not flash pie modems if you do you will have to flash pie bootloader.
If you have a bootloader example
Xxu3 you need flash ap system and bootloader xxs4.
This not for flashing this build but for flashing pie on Odin
Restore.
Restoring with selected EFS damaged original IMEI.... Without is it ok. Thanks!
when I went to install the stock gave error of dm-verify
Help me!!

Depends on what you want to get out of your phone.
I'm rooted so I had to use this canda csc.
For ab+ their no USA build I want have volte.
This csc I flash is done through twrp.
If your stock no root ect and you get what the services you want then go a head and do it.
If you are rooted and want to keep root then I would not.

How do flash it though? I extracted the .zip file but it doesnt have the files to be flashed through Odin. Also I think I should tell you that my phone or rather knoxs tells's me that my phone is rooted but I've already flashed the non-rooted stock rom years ago because I failed when I tried to root my phone before and I don't know how to fix my mistake and gain root. If its not too much to ask, I would like to ask for your help, I would greatly appreciate it.
