If you lose your phone or it gets stolen;
With rooted phone, a person can install a new rom and use it right?
W/out root, your phone can be bricked permanently if someone tries to factory reset? Via google or samsung account. Also, you can't use odin to install any ROMs?
Or has the security on the newest android phones like s7 now have better security even when a phone is rooted?
I'm on a verge of trying to decide if I should root my S7 or not.

1. He can either way wipe data. Root or no root. The question is can he skip the factory reset protection. There are ways to skip it. But this again has nothing to do with root on the phone.
2. There is currently no permanent brick. There are blog posts which suggests something like this would come in new android versions.
im trying to avoid any shady rooting process since ive heard story of a root app that was taken over by a chinese company possibly to gather info on its user unsuspectingly.

Just flash twrp using Odin.
After that, flash SuperSU or Magisk through twrp.
So, I was dumb and thought some pictures and videos of the kids birthday were backed up before I did a factory reset (was trying to fix battery drain issue). I have a G955u model s8 + that had the oreo update ota. I tried some recovery software but it says I need to root the phone, which I can't seem to find a way to do. Do I have any options at getting to this data? Thanks for the help!
Most file recovery programs are fake. Your device was probably factory encrypted and therefore unrecoverable. Rooting is what 99% of the threads on this forum are about but that will require another factory reset and data recovery would be impossible even if the device wasn't encrypted.
Hey everyone,
I am new to the programming scene and this forum.
Anyways, I run a repair business in Ontario and have repairs come in daily. In particular today, I had a Samsung Galaxy S7 come in for repair and the issue the customer explained was they forgot their pin or pattern lock. I used to be able to use TWRP and go into the system and delete the gesture.keys without losing all data but I read up on the new technology now with Knox and bootloader and I was told flashing TWRP on the Galaxy s7 without bootloader unlocked will cause bootloop. All I need is to get into TWRP to delete those keys because customer CANNOT lose any DATA (very important). Is there anyway to get TWRP on the Canadian variant without wiping or causing a boot loop. I don’t need root. Just need access to the system files from recovery to delete that key file. Unless someone else can chime in and offer another solution, but please HELP!

If the bootloader on that device is locked, you won't ever be able to use TWRP at all, not ever, not by any means.
If you know exactly what firmware build number thay had installed before this happened, you can try flashing that exact version of stock firnware via Odin. As long as the firmware that you flash does not contain a different(upgraded/downgraded) bootloader, it "shouldn't" wipe their personal data but it does wipe the user settings(pin/pass in this case). When flashing via Odin, the user data does not get wiped unless the bootloader on the device is upgraded or downgraded during the flashing process. Their data should stay intact if you use the firmware version that is already on the device.
If the bootloader is locked, then regardless of what you do, flashing the firmware is the only way you're going to fix this, whether it wipes their data or not. Flashing the current firmware that is already on the device is really your only option.

I’ve managed to reset the password because cudtomerbhad her Samsung account linked to the phone. Logging into Samsung online gives you the option to remotely unlock the pattern. She now has all her data and password is gone. Thanks for the quick reply regardless

Ah yeah, I forgot about that option because I don't use the Samsung account feature on my phones. Plus, I was looking from a perspective of what could be flashed or not without causing data loss.

Hi,
I'm trying to use EaseUS to recover some photos deleted by accident. However, my phone has to be rooted. It's a Nokia 5 and it's currently on Oreo 8.0.0. From my understanding, I'd have to downgrade it to Nougat in order to be able to root it. Can I root it now without downgrading, as I'm pretty sure downgrading would totally wipe all recoverable data on it, including the photos I'm after. All in all - what to do???
