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?

The fact you are on a s7e port which is a custom ROM means you had already tripped knox permanently, any app that required knox will not work anymore such as samsung pay, you can hide root via magisk and magisk hide, but just to reiterate once you trip knox it cannot b3 reversed

You're not understanding what I mean, once you trip knox by installing a rom like s7e port, doesn't matter if you return to stock rom, knox will remain tripped. You won't be able to use samsung pay at all because knox is permanently tripped, shealth should still work though, I'm in stock rooted MM, so can't confirm everything
hi before some days i have rooted my phone with odin and twrp and sucessfully rooted my S6. but after rooting i was unable to check for software update from samsung and unbale to use knox and shealth. so i made an emergency recovery using smartswitch and update my device to noughat 7.0 but after updating again unable to use knox and Shealth but i can now check for software update from samsung. is there any way to untrip knox again becoz it is saying your phone is compromised. but i have unrooted the device now please help
Once you trip Knox, you cannot un-trip it. At all.

You can use custome roms to gain access to shealth.
Im using Noble nougat 4.0 s8 port, and works great.
Hi.
You still can use SHealt
This is how (of course you need root access) lint to post
Sorry but you can forget to use Knox after you tripped Knox flag.
Try root with Magisk - this allow you to "hide" root from some apps.
PS
Sometimes root is not a bad thing...
Setting ro.config.tima to 0 fixes SHealth. For the Samsung login you'll need to read this, https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71566173&postcount=6

Try a restore of your rom then try again. If not then i would avoid root

I almost wanna buy a different phone as the galaxy s7edge sm-g935w8 Canada version with exynos chipset has been he'll trying to root..... I even caved and went to the ONE CLICK ROOT website and 6 hrs later even the tech did everything I did... except he tripped some SEANDROID security thing... What a guy lol so sadly to say I can't have a rooted phone on this version of galaxy s7 edge SM-G935W8, sad lonely world for this galaxy owner
I ordered it, I have note 20 utra ( HK Version ) rooted
I had read a while back that if you setup Samsung pay directly from watch, it works?
Can I setup Spay wth a non-rooted phone, have it work on the watch then go back to the rooted phone?
Gpay works on my phone, will it work on the watch
Will any of the health apps work

I don't have the watch4 yet but on watch3, I was able to use it without my rooted phone and no, you can't configure things on a device and change the device, because every time the device is changed, the watch resets...
Root on phone has no effects on the watch, rooted phone will affect the apps installed on it, for example "this application can't run on rooted devices"
As for gpay, as I recall, I believe someone did use gpay instead of Samsung pay
Thanks, so as u say.it will say cannot run app because its rooted but does this apply to the phone or watch too

I should have been more precise. The issue I'm talking about concerns rooted Samsung phones and @inningsdefeat500 has a Samsung Note20 which is a candidate for the connection issue if rooted ...
Ive had all model Samsung Phones, and ALL have had no issues with pairing on a rooted Samsung phone, S8+, S9+, N10, S21U.
Considering Galaxy Wear doesn't look for root, why would root be the issue?
I'm on a rooted S10 and it paired just fine. I don't use any of the pay features, but all of the health features work. Just be aware that some other people have had issues.

I also had all S models and faced this issue with STOCK rooted firmwares and even with only TRIPPED KNOX unrooted stock ones. Using custom roms doesn't trigger the problem as they already include the gear fix which involves patching some vendor files (manifest.xml).
If the problem doesn't exist, why would there be so many threads describing it and proposing fixes for it ?
PS : The only time I was able to directly use my GW4 and S-Health without problems on my Knox tripped S21 is with the actual A12 beta ...
there is some code pertaining to "WSM" in manifest.xml - this needs removing to get wearables connecting to galaxy wearable app properly - a few modules out there patch this
I am also on stock firmware. I'm not saying that just because I didn't have any issues, that there won't be issues for anyone else. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.

Hi ! I wanted ask you if your rooted note 8 use a custom rom ?
I got a Samsung S8 on custom rom based on android 12.
Thank you in advance
S21U, rooted, no issues whatsoever
fwiw, to give people the current state of affairs...
S20+ 5G rooted, stock ROM
Samsung Pay: No, just never going to work on either phone or watch after rooting - this is well known
GPay: Phone & Watch with no issues (magisk, universal safetynet module, shamiko module, deny list, hidden magisk app)
SHealth - only 6.19 works - working on a way to patch later (dont hold your breath)
