Hi,
Is it safe to root a S7 and stay on the stock ROM ? As Samsung doesn't publish regularly the updates (still on 7.0 ...), I heard that their phones are vulnerable to malwares. Is it easy to avoid it when rooted ? Or should I install a custom ROM to use my rooted S7 properly ?

Morning Guys
I'm wanting to root and install a custom recovery to enable flashing custom roms etc, on my UK Galaxy S6 running stock (G920FXXU2COH2) French Firmware. I know that I will trip knox and not be able to use Samsung pay when its available but I'm not so bothered about that.
What is the quickest and safest way of doing this now? Thanks for your time in helping
hi guys, since samsung s2 i dont use samsung mobile phones so its a long time
i bought a galaxy s6 and the original room is full of aplications i dont use, the ram avaible is a joke and the battery life isnt very good
i want to install a custom rom
im with the last ofical 5.1.1., if i install a custom rom i will loose right to waranty? there isnt any way of revert the root and count?
thanks
You can unroot the device and reflash the stock ROM, but you cannot revert the Knox counter. Whether or not you loose your warranty depends upon the laws in your country.
so its impossible for now to root, flash custom recovery and flash custom rom without activate the know counter?
Search for the engineering 5.0.2 bootloader. Unfortunately if you are on 5.1.1 already, then it is of no help.
Hi
My S6 (SM-G920F) is still on Lollipop 5.0.2 rooted with PingPongRoot.
Can I safe use FF to upgrade to Marshmallow 6.0.1 and keep root without tripping Knox??
I read somewhere (on this forum) that this is not possible but just want to make sure before I decide to update.
If this not possible can somebody explain why - I do remember times when we could use OdinMobilePro and update S4 and keep Knox untouched.
Thanks
No ... You cannot get root in 5.1.1 and in MM without tripin knox !
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
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?
