This will be my first phone I'm rooting, so I don't have much experience with this. I plan on installing Magisk, so I was curious if I can still upgrade the OS after rooting or should I upgrade then root. Thank you for your help!
You can update stock firmware at any time using Odin https://updato.com/how-to/how-to-install-an-official-samsung-stock-firmware-using-odin
Note: It's an old article and links an old version of Odin, make sure to download the latest version
As for root and Magisk, the USA S7's have a locked bootloader so you can't install magisk. Root is possible but limited https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7/development/easyroot-unroot-t3859760
If you go too far ahead in firmware version, the methods used for root are patched. So if you're going to try it, make sure you flash an older version in Odin.

Hello I'm starting to think I'm the ONLY ONE with this model of s6 because I've been looking for a root that would work for nearly a month before breaking down and finally making an account here to ask. I've tried Odin but it failed. Every other root option doesn't have my model listed as compatible and I don't want to end up with a brick phone. I'm new to android and I've learned that rooting isn't nearly as easy as jail breaking. Can anyone here help me?
i downloaded https://root-apk.kingoapp.com I use it on my SM-S906L sometimes it fails but i just retry and then it roots! works everytime! I also download supersu and open after rooting, then it removes the kingo superuser for me and then i just reboot.
Here's the stock verizon firmware, it's for verizon but it works with straight talk. There's also TWRP and SU in this package.

Flash twrp onto the phone with odin, and then install supersu with twrp and you'll be rooted.

Easiest would be to ODIN to PB1, root that, then use the SafeStrap from that load to run any PB1 rom or upgrade to PD1
To ODIN and root PB1 follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370
ODIN to PB1 is found in the section "Prepare your phone for root"
Root is in the first part of the OP, I did from the "very important" until line 5 (skipping line 2)
Reboot phone open Safestrap app and Click Reboot To Recovery. If during this process you every get stuck on samsung screen.
Pull battery reboot phone to bootloader (VolDwn+Pwr+Home) load a PB1 rom such as https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911967916 from @muniz_ri
Once you load the rooted PB1 you can unlock the bootloader and follow my post on how I updated at http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...0-keeproot-t3149784/post67248881#post67248881
Can i not just download the 6.0.1 firmware from sammobile and upgrade through odin, Cause I am concerned i will brick my phone or smth and I am not at home and don't have a laptop with (will have to use a public one). Thanks
Updating directly to PD1 is possible if you can find a tar file, but PD1 is not rootable without the unlocked bootloader which can only be achieved through PB1.

Don't know how far you want to go but just ODIN back to NCG, TowelRoot, install FlashFire and go to muniz_ri's root thread. Check your CID by using phone info app and you may be able to unlock your device if you've got the 15 eMMC chip. Currently the 11 chip is work in progress for unlocking the bootloader....but do as you wish to root...I'm 'ol school....lol

It depends on whether you're using SuperSU or Magisk.
To unroot if you have SuperSU, open SuperSU app, then open its app settings, find the setting that says something like "cleanup for unroot and uninstall". That will remove the su binaries and uninstall the SuperSU app.
To unroot if you have Magisk, use the Magisk uninstaller.zip(might cause bootloop which then requires flashing stock firmware via Odin)
Or you can just flash the stock firmware via Odin to remove root. You're going to have to get rid of TWRP also which would require you to flash a copy of stock recovery to replace TWRP. Flashing stock firmware via Odin will replace TWRP and remove root all in one shot, no need for extra steps or tricks.
Then you can do the OTA update.
OR
An even better option is as follows.
The OTA update might even be available to the public to download, if so, you can download the update manually(not via OTA) then flash the update via Odin, this will replace TWRP, remove root and update the device all in one shot. This way, you won't have to do anything except flash the update and you're done. No need to replace TWRP and unroot before doing the OTA update. This method skips all of that and gets you the update without having to do all the extra work. You'll have to root the device again and flash TWRP after the update has been applied.
If you choose to do the OTA instead, make sure you are completely unrooted and are back on stock recovery, you can't have root or TWRP when you do the OTA, it will not work that way.

hi
i have a rotted phone s8..i flashed a stock rom, but phone is still rooted. Some apps like us google pay,mcdonalds tell me that phone is rooted..What i can do?
Hello,
I am looking for a guide to root and install TWRP on Sprint Note 5 upgraded to Android 7.0.
Some background information:
Note 5 was on Android 5.11 and was having random reboots, caused by unstable Noble kernel.
I used the following guide to root, install TWRP and stable Beastmode kernel.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-note5/general/how-to-root-instructions-t3187895
Note 5 went south after i attempted to install Xposed on rooted 5.1.1.
I experienced bootloops and was never able to boot in 5.1.1 ever again.
I failed to flash stock 5.1.1 to Note 5, despite multiple tar's and versions of ODIN.
I though my phone was unrecoverable.
Fast forward 2 days and i was able to successfully flash Android 7.0 via ODIN.
I can successfully boot into Android 7.0, though i prefer to be rooted.
Now i need to root Android 7.0, install TRWP, upgrade to stable kernel, and install Xposed, if possible.
Knox has already been tripped and I was not going to use Samsung Pay anyway.
Phone details:
Model number: SM-N920P
Software version: N920PVPU3DQC5 (Nougat 7.0)
Hardware version: N920P.04
Baseband version: N920PVPU3DQC5
Build Number: NRD90M. N920PVPU3DQC5
Please let me know if more information is needed.
Thank you in advance.

Use Odin to root with c.f. auto root just Google cf auto root and download the file for your phone you know the rest. After being rooted you can install twrp with the official app in the play store they give you simple instructions but what they don't tell you is DO NOT FLASH THE .img.tar file FLASH the .img file only .tar files are for pc and will soft brick you. Again FLASH the .img file to recovery. Bang you have twrp if you can't get into recovery download quick reboot from play store works great im rooted with twrp on note 5 7.0 nougat that's all I can confirm. I accomplished this all by reading the forums for 2 days
Anything with CF Auto Root is obsolete. Just follow this guide: http://galaxynote5root.com/galaxy-n...galaxy-note-5-on-android-7-0-nougat-w-magisk/
SAMSUNG ANTI ROOT REMOVAL OR ANY OTHER SUPER USER APP IS NOT NEEDED ANYMORE. JUST INSTALL THE MAGISK .ZIP AND REBOOT.
Files are:
Latest TWRP: https://dl.twrp.me/nobleltespr/
Magisk 15.3: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
This will work for ALL NOUGAT builds, including the latest DRA1 (I've tested it myself) This phone is over 2 years old so development is kinda dead to be honest. There is only one custom kernel available here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sp...nel-twisted-note-7-0-nougat-april-15-t3590280

Its not obsolete I got a free hotspot buddy. I dont need supersu remover because i dont care about fancy samsung or andriod pay i will continue to use cf auto root until its exhausted because i have never bricked a phone using it
Thank you all for your replies.
I was able to root via CF Auto Root and installed TWRP recovery.
Does the free hotspot need to be flashed via Recovery?
Thank you in advance.
Hi. My s8 plus is at bootloader version 5 now.is possible to flash unlocked version (xaa)? Or change room from Odin? thanks
Also interested. I'm on official Oreo on v5 bootloader on a fresh phone from insurance and trying to get root.
Go to the Verizon section and look there, user @jrkruse has 2 roms posted:
These both work with the new BLv5
Oreo Rom with Xposed/Safestrap; no root
https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s8+/development/rom-t3771206
Nougat Rom with Root/Xposed/Safestrap
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...nt/root-using-odin-modified-firmware-t3693790
If your wanting root functions these are your only options. While the Oreo doesn't have root, it does have SafeStrap for system file modification and Xposed to run non root plugins.
As far as flashing to U1 firmware there is a thread about flashing to it. You should be able to as long as bootloader matches but don't quote me. I'm still on BL3 and still can flash to U1, root rom, oreo rom, stock rom no problem.
