Hi there, I am wondering if anyone knows if I can root my Samsung Galaxy S7 7.0, model number SM-G930W8.
Carrier is Rogers, purchased from T-booth.
I am looking to retrieve data I have lost. I tried Dr. Fone but they cannot root an android of 7.0 and said if I can get my phone rooted by another way I can still use their recovery tool.
It seems like I have to download Odin. Just want to make sure I do this correctly.
Thank-you in advance!
Have you successfully rooted your device? I have the same device and problem.
There is another user who rooted an s7 (different model from the Rogers/Telus/Bell version) and used Dr Fone which resulted in a fingerprint sensor error: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/finger-print-sensor-responding-using-dr-t3735296

Hi!
I want to enable the multi-users functionality on my Samsung Galaxy S4. It runs Android version 5.0.1, so it shouldn't be a problem, but I need to root my phone in order to edit my build.prop file.
Problem is, I own a Samsung Galaxy S4 sgh-m1919v, which is a phone from Videotron in Quebec, Canada.
I've tried Kingroot and Towelroot, but neither will support this phone.
Another common way to root an android phone seems to be by using Odin and going into download mode, but since this exact phone isn't on the list of "approved" devices, I am reluctant to try it... I really don't want to break it.
I've checked on this forum and haven't found an answer to my problem yet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
TL;DR: Need help rooting Samsung S4 SGH-M1919V
This may be a bonehead question but...
I've been reading some of the forums for a few days now and Im at my wits end with not being able to root my Verizon Galaxy S6 (SM-G920V) due to bootloader blockage. I am noticing that it is seemingly possible to root an S7 on Verizon though. How is this possible considering the same stipulations, and an S6 being the more outdated phone??
On the S6 i believe it's possible via CF-AutoRoot, however, mine (G920W8) got it's IMEI/EFS lost and corrupted by the stock recovery it flashes back so not really recommend using it.
Protip: don't get Verizon Locked devices if you are willing to Root
Is it possible to root a galaxy s7(sm-g930a)? It seems no matter what phone I get it suddenly becomes unrootable
Same question here - just got a hand-me-down SM-G930V variant.
Hey, I've been searching for a custom rom for my device, the Samsung Galaxy J7 Refine (Boost Mobile), and I came to no results. My phone doesn't even have a OS installed, making it rather useless unless I find a ROM. Any help is appreciated. I'm really new to this custom rom thing.
Things I know:
Running TWRP Version 3.2.3-0
When attempting to flash a ROM that was intended for the j7elte (ik, really dumb) it came up with the result of:
E3004: This package is for device: j7elte; this device is jackpotlte.
TL;DR:
Looking for a custom rom for my Samsung Galaxy J7 Refine (Boost Mobile).
Update:
I managed to look up the IMEI on samfw and I got the result of Samsung J7 Top. So I downloaded the firmware for my device and I flashed it using ODIN. I'm honestly confused why I got that result but I'm glad my phone isn't bricked. I noticed that when I flashed the firmware using ODIN, TWRP was gone from my phone, so that's nice to know.
