Ok so today I went to boost. I bought an S7 with 7.0 on it,
What ways would I go about rooting this, upgrading to OREO and etc. The security patch is also from November 2017.
The reason I'm asking and not just jumping right to it are
1)I know if I update at all there is no root with Sprint.
2)I'm not sure if I'm on a version low enough to unlock the bootloader if I need it.
3)I'm open to unlocking the boot and flashing a 8.0 rom if possible.
Any guides would be greatly appreciated

Hello, due to me having to replace a broken S6 that was running 5.0.2, my new phone was running 5.1.1 by default. When Android M came out, I decided to go ahead and upgrade, hoping for an exploit. However, this hasn't seemed to happen yet. So my question is, since 5.0.2 is the only OS version I know of that can be rooted for my device, is there a way I can downgrade from M to that version? Or is there any other way I can have a rooted phone? I am by no means an expert with this stuff, but any help would be IMMENSELY appreciated.
Unfortunately, no and no. The consensus seems to be that a new root method is unlikely to be found.

Attempting to downgrade at this point will render the phone useless until you flash the version you are on or higher through Odin.
Im currently using a Verizon SM-G930V (Samsung Galaxy S7), the regular one. Not the Edge.
I need assistance with rooting this device using Odin 3.12.3 on Android version 7.0, Knox 2.7.1, running security patch Feb 1, 2017, WITHOUT bricking the phone. Luckily I was able to recover the device myself by reinstalling it's stock firmware.
I haven't found any useful guides on how to root this specific device so I would really appreciate replies here. Last time I tried this, I got bootlooped, but willing to redo with some help. Give me everything I need to root this, other than Odin and the USB drivers, which I already have. Also, im a noob to this.
Hi,
I just bought a Like new S6.
I thought I was getting a factory unlocked device, but I got a Verizon unlocked phone (for other carriers) and full of bloatware from Samsung and Verizon.
I can still return it, but before doing so, I was looking for options about rooting or installing a different ROM.
it has Nougat 7.0, Firmware G920VVRS4DQI1, Kernel 3.10.61
As I understand, currently there's no way to modify anything in this model, right?
Should I return it?
Thank you for your replies
Hi all,
im coming from S5 where everything was easy. Now on my used S8+, Oero was allready installed. After Oreo doesnt seems to be very popular and i havent found a way to root it without a custom kernel and im quite uncertainty on that, im wondering if I can just downgrade to Nougat and root it afterwards with TWRP & CF-Auto-Root.
Downgrading doesnt seems to be a problem, but do i have to consider anything before I go that way?
Got the G955F with Exynos.
Thanks

I found my old samsung s7 recently and I also found out I forgot the password, I then performed a hard reset thinking i could just start from scratch when I was met with Google's FRP lock and unfortunately I also forgot my old gmail password that was originally used with the phone. I've tried setting Stock rom and right now it's on a tmobile 6.0 marshmallow rom. I need some help on unlocking because I have run out of all ideas. If anyone knows if rooting or a root like process can help me it would be greatly appreciated.
If this helps the phone is a samsung s7 originally bought from tracfone Its running 8.0 and I can get to download mode. When I plug it into a windows machine it is able to recognize the device. (I'm not sure if any of that helps but there it is)
So first off everything on your phone is gone, weren't you asking how to retrieve the data in another thread?
Anyway there's quite a few guides around on how to bypass FRP lock on a G930F Oreo, so that's where you need to start. It can be tedious and slightly difficult dependent on your IT abilities. I also just noticed you said it's running MM 6.0? then say it's running 8.0, 8.0 what? It matters because bypassing FRP on 6.0 Marsh mallow is easier than 8.0 Oreo

Ok well right now it's on 6.0 mm, I don't care about the data, I just want it unlocked and I can't figure out how

Like i said it's tedious and takes time, follow this guide which includes downloading various files to flash in Odin.
