There are two options in the TWRP repo that aren't carrier branded.
Samsung Galaxy S6 (US Celluar) (zeroflteusc)
Samsung Galaxy S6 (zeroflte)
I'm not in the United States but which one do I choose?
Zero. Works for me. On w8

Thanks! Worked great.
What method did you use to root your g920w8? Mine keeps failing. I've tried king root, ping pong and using odin/heimall. With CF autoroot. Debugging is open and unknown installs are allowed. Nothing seems to work for it.
Hello everyone,
I just got my new S7 from Telus and my goal now is:
Root the phone
Install a clean stock ROM (bloatware-free)
Now I've been reading a bit but I'm a little unsure whether I'm looking at the best solution out there, or even if I'm on the right track.
These are the 2 options that I'm leaning towards following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/recovery-official-twrp-herolte-t3333770
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/sm-g930-exynos-cf-auto-root-t3337353
Can you tell me if the TWRP route is the best to follow?
Also, I can't seem to find a Stock ROM, can you point me to the right one for my phone? (Sorry, my searching and Googling skills needs an upgrade.)
Installing twrp wipes the phone, so you lose everything. If you install cfroot first on the other hand, you can backup your stuff with titanium backup and other apps and then install twrp and restore your apps at the end.

I'm ok with the wipe as I just got the phone today so I have nothing important there.
So would you suggest that I use TWRP over cfroot?
--Also, do you know where the right stock ROM is? I still can't find one.-- Oops, sorry I thought the link you have was part of your signature. I got my ROM now, taking a long time to download though. Haha.
Is there another download location I can use? I messed up the slow download and now I have to wait a long time just to start over with the slow download.
TWRP install does not wipe the phone. If you want to use TWRP to backup/restore data you have to format data (which does wipe the phone), because TWRP does not support the samsung encryption yet (no timeframe for this).
You could still use TWRP to install stuff on /system.
I would go cfroot and flashfire.
quick question here: I've got 930w8 from Bell (Canadian version). on https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ I Cannot see CF-auto-root root for W8 version.
Is it safe to guess that auto-root for 930f (exynos) will do the trick?

You can use Cf Auto root for G930F, is working
Hello!
Just wondering if this CF Root will work to root my device still?
It's April 4, 2017, so this thread is really old.
I've gathered that I can use CF-Auto Root G930F and have that downloaded..
I got my phone from Virgin and live in Canada
It's a Samsung Galaxy S7
Model Number : SM-G930W8 (LU2BQB6)
Android Version : 7.0
I'm trying to spoof Pokemon GO haha, and apparently I need to move some apps to a system folder or something.
First thing first though, figure out how to root.
Quite frankly, I'd be willing to send someone a couple bucks via paypal for any assistance at all.
I can tell you that cf autoroot for international model works on android 6.0.1, not sure if will do the job on android 7
S7 android 7.0 root
Is there a root for android 7.0 for an S7?

Had no problem rooting my phone with cf auto root. Had to make an app a system file then tried to unroot using the super su. Allways fails to unroot. Need safety net to pass
Hey,
I need help to install the right twrp version , because I dont know if I should use the "Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Edge (T-Mobile) (tbltetmo)" or "Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Edge (International) (tblte)"
and when i click on one I can decide if I use a .img or .img.tar . Or should I use something completely different.
I think i should use the "International" version because i dont see a T-moblie icon or something simelar when I boot my phone.
btw. at the moment I try it with the Official TWRP App.
Info:
SM-N915FY
I allready rooted it with SuperSu
That version not for ur type , if u used n915fy search for tbltexx

Is your bootloader unlocked?
Root methods and TWRP are always model number specific, not all S7 and S7 edge devices are the same model number, the model number is different from one region to the next and from one network carrier to the next, they can't all use the same TWRP file. Is the TWRP file that you used built for your specific model number?

In the description of the video it write for samsung galaxy s7 model sm-g930f some people said that Will fit lmy model is sm-g930w8
First of all , you need a rooted S7.
If you own a qualcomm s7 usa variant and don't know how to root ( the v9 bootloader ), head to this thread :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79528528&postcount=1623
- if you own an exynos variant : root methods are everywhere, just do a quick search. I do not own it, i own a G930T
2- install this version of viper4android, it's the only working one i've found online, just grant root and click install driver , reboot, and enjoy.
NOTICE : i'm not the developper, i'm just a normal user and i just liked to share it.
The developper is : Team De Witt
Thanks for this. it would be nice if Dolby Atmos was this easy to install. Reason being people don't need a PH.D in Sound Engineering to get it to sound good
What if the drivers won't install?
I do have root (aquired with Magisk) and tried to modify the /system/build.prop, but the mentioned lines weren't there.
Any ideas?

If you have an Exynos variant I heavily recommend you to unlock your bootloader, flash Magisk and use the Magisk module instead. For Snapdragon users, this systemful installer is needed.
