Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930R6) root? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

I purchased an unlocked SM-930R6 today but I can't find anything on it. It's currently running 7.0, but I was wondering if anyone has came across any development for it?
I can't even find stock firmware anywhere. Even if I can't find a custom recovery or ROM, I would still love to achieve root.
Any help would be great!
Thanks

[Q] Rooting Galaxy S4 with CF-auto-root (Canada)

I couldn't find a solution too specific to my phone, but was mostly just wondering, Does anyone know if the newest CF-auto-root is compatible with a Canadian SGH-I337M; Ver 4.4.2; Baseband VLUFNE1 on the MTS network? if so, where is a safe download source of the .tar?
And if not if there is anything that is compatible? Keep in mind im not looking to flash custom roms, i essentially want root to use rooted apps and all the devince freedom that comes with it. essentially a basic root. Also Ive previously rooted my S2 and an old motodroid so theres no need to review the rooting process ive got that down.
Thanks, any and all advice is appreciated!

GT-N8010 Stock KitKat for N8010XXUCMH2

Hello,
I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 (2012 Edition), WiFi only, bought in Canada with N8010XXUCMH2 build, and running stock 4.1.2.
I want to upgrade to KitKat and was waiting for the stock update but it does not appear to be coming (for Canada and N8010XXUCMH2).
My questions is which is the closest stock ROM I can use instead? And will it work out of the box or will I require other modifications? I have searched around the forums for an have found various answers to which ROM I should be using and to be honest I am a little confused.
Lastly, after upgrading to this ROM, can I root and what is recommended as an easy method to do this?
Has anyone tried any other country ROMS?
Did you find any solution DrZEUS? I use the same version and cannot find any solution yet. I want to root my device but cannot find anything for this specific version.
I'll keep looking. If I find a solution I'll (try to remember to) post it here.
If you have the N8010 then its always been rootable .

Straight Talk Galaxy S6 (SM-S907VL) Root/Recovery?

Hi, I recently damaged my S4 and decided to upgrade to the S6, so far I love the phone, got it new for $250
However since it's with straight talk in not one of the more common models and I can't really seem to find any information on it, I'm mostly hoping to find a way to root it, a custom recovery would be nice but I certainly don't need it
Has anyone had any experience with this device?
Or could someone maybe point me in the right direction?
Device: Galaxy S6 (Straight Talk)
Model: SM-S907VL
Baseband: S907VLUDU1APG8 (idk if that's important lol)
Android: 6.0.1
I appreciate any help that you guys might be able to give
I am looking for the same!
Would like to root and install CM.
Samsung S6 SM-907VL
I too got the "Black Friday" deal with this phone. It is Straight Talk and is a nice phone. I emailed a popular rooting developer and they have a list a mile long with phones their app will root. But it will not root this model. If someone finds an app that will root, please post.
Looking to root this model too. Could you flash a rom from one that uses the same board and chip set? Essentially turning it from a straight talk phone to Verizon , sprint, or at&t then proceed to root from there? Might be a noob question but I been wondering if it would work

You can not do that. Unless you want to brick your phone. I am searching now, will let you know if I come up with anything!

Well hopefully we can hear back soon, I've still had pretty much no luck with this model, seems it's too little know for anything custom yet
Has anyone tried KingRoot?
I've tried Kingroot a few times now, the device is not supported unfortunately
Need root and 7.0 rom!
Seriously been looking for root since I got this phone. Is anyone even working on a root for it? Would the root for sm-s903vl work for the sm-s907vl or would it brick it? At this point I don't even care if I trip Knox. I just want ROOT!!
Fruitless searching for method to root sm-s907VL S6
Has anyone found anywhere that has information about rooting this model or atleast maybe the news that someone is working on it?! I have searched and searched and tried several different methods but nothing has worked yet. I really like this phone so far but I really gotta have my customization fix for it. Thank you to anyone who can give me some hope and of course if I find anything I'll post it here.
Thanks
I don't suppose anyone has had any luck with this device?
I'm having trouble finding stock firmware as well, I was thinking I might try a couple methods for different models but that's a little foolish without a way back to stock...
As a side note, don't buy straight talk phones, nothing seems to exist for them xD
You can get the stock software at www.firmware.gem-flash.com... I've used their copy personally and had no problems..
Device: Galaxy S6 (Straight Talk)
Model: SM-S907VL
I have the same issue and have tried several root tools and none have worked yet. Maybe some devs will get it working for one of them soon.
I have tried everything. If there is somebody smart enough to root the galaxy s6 s907vludu through straightalk please let me know. I have been searching for months. If anybody can find something for this unrootable phone please let me know.
I have model s906l it's an early sts6 and Im currently running s907vl firmware. I think the s906l can be rooted but it's running Android 5.02. My point being if you really want root maybe you can flash the s906l firmware using oden. Update nope I was able to flash up but cant flash back down. Stuck on mm without root for now.

I don't think you can downgrade an OS. Bootloaders would normally not allow it.
I tried flashing the 5.0.2 SM-S906L rom on the SM-S907VL through Odin and it gives a secure boot check fail.

I am having the same issue, I have the S6 SM-S907VL as well, I am very pleased with the phone itself as well as the cell carriers service but not having any developers hacks & mods or stock firmware or rooting methods for it is really frustrating

I have the same model also I wish now that never seen it. I've had an LG Stylo 3, and Motorola phone all of which I could easily download a ROM from here and easily customize the phone. This phone has proven impossible.

Any new updates on a possible root and custom rom for the SM-S907VL? Starting to look like we're out of luck :/

INSTALLING FIRMWARES FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES (GALAXY S7 G930W8 - Canada)

Hey everyone,
So I have a galaxy s7 from Canada (G930-W8), and I am still impatiently waiting for the Nougat version that is not released for us in here. I was wondering if there is a way to install Nougat from different versions such as G930F or other ones onto my phone. I would really appreciate your feedbacks, or if you already know of a forum post that describes this please let me know as I couldn't really find anything.
Cheers!
No unfortunately we w8s can only install a custom ROM that is made from 930f but we cant install 930f firmware ,
If you are rooted you can install Super Stock custom ROM it works perfectly on my w8

Hi
You are in the wrong forum , this section is for the exynos type of S7
As far as I know the bootloader on those devices are lock , you can root them but you can not flash Custom recoveries or Custom roms
For Sammobile just create an account , log in and download the firmware
Has this changed by chance? Kind of bummed
No and it's unlikely it ever will
