I know enough to be dangerous when it comes to these phones - but I am very curious and wondered if any one could shed any light -
If the TMOBILE and ATT Varients are so similar - which appears to be the case - and if the TMOBILE BOOTLOADER is unlocked - which also seems to be the case - Does this bode well for ATT Getting Unlocked ? or does one have nothing at all to do with the other?
I thought the simialarites between the two phones would mean that if one was unlocked it might lead to what needs to be done to unlock the other?
or - is this totally off base and proof again that I don't know a damn thing - ?
I wasn't sure where to post this - I didn't want to clutter up the Dev Threads but thought QA would be the best place - ?
thoughts anyone?
Best thing you can do is keep an eye on the "unlocked bootloader" thread in the Dev section. But only keep an eye on it! Do not post anything in it unless you have useable knowledge that can help them. I see that you know that already (and that's great) so I am only mentioning this for those that don't quite get it. Unfortunately, some have already posted in it even after AdamOutler asked that it only be used for unlocking the bootloader. Some people just aren't very bright. Anyway, back on topic, AdamOutler along with other Devs are looking into the possibility that the T-Mobile version may shed some light on the bootloader. Those guys know what they are doing so if it can help, they will know.

That is encouraging - fingers crossed that they can work this out. I love my phone - but I am not wanting to stay stuck on stock forever - not my idea of the best android experience - but I am also not willing to give up as easily as I have seen some ....
The reason for this post was to hopefully get some encouragement that TMOBILE's status might make it easier - and while there are no guarentees -it feels like maybe that is possible.
I will keep reading - and hoping and hopefully sometime soon.........
Hi. I know this is taboo to talk about but I am NOT asking for a link or anything, just want to discuss. My questions are:
1. Has anyone successfully gotten root with this method?
2. Why does it brick devices?
Again, this is just a discussion, not asking for links or giving anything out.
It's not a matter of "taboo." There is no practical benefit in discussing a tool that's not available now and should never have been released in the first place. Even if your questions get answered, what useful thing could be done with that information?
haha I get that feeling of taboo too but I get more and more interested in this tool from a technical standpoint, plus everyone is so cryptic about it. More or less from what I've gathered is that jcase gained root access using a particular version of the tool, but for some reason it is too hard for your average joe to use it so he decided to not publish / further support it ... hence it was wiped from existence.
Also on one thread, I think the original bounty thread he mentioned something along that lines that the tool does not do what everyone thinks it does (queue dramatic mystery music here)
OK GUYS. here is a dude whos page is hard to find but here it is ( no credit to me )
bits-please.blogspot.com/2016/02/unlocking-motorola-bootloader.html
This guy figured out some really cool shiz on the qfuse level and we may very well have a uni unlock if i read it right,
just a thought guys. if I am wrong please post below and lock the thread, or ridicule or i dont care have fun buddies!
i think i read it right.
I would really like to see something done with this. I wanna unlock my Moto X.
It looks like this person wrote a bunch of python scripts that unlocked his XT1097. This needs to be read over thoroughly before anyone tries it on their device; he says right away it carries a chance of permanent brick.
I've rooted every phone I've owned and was expecting to do the same with my new s7 Edge (Snapdragon on android 6.0.1). After much google searching/reading I want to confirm that not only is there no root but there likely will be no root because of a locked bootloader?
Are you able to root the S7? I may switch to that if so.

Here's a link for you to go explore the xposed forums that you failed to read.
Xposed has been around quite a bit longer than the S7. And simply because you are "in disbelief" or "denial", doesn't change the ability to read all the threads for xposed, and all that has been posted quite a bit before the s7 was mentioned.
ENOUGH! Unless you want this thread moved to the Asperger's section you guys are way off topic.
OP, you have your answer. There is no ETA for root. There probably won't be root at all.
My opinion which was inspired by my own perspective is that if you were able to find the forum, you could have taken at least FIVE minutes to read on the progress of root. It seriously would have taken less time to search than to start a new thread. Most of us on here are hoping, wishing, begging and even praying for root access. We've been following the results closely and some of us are even risking our own devices out of desperation to acquire to what has only have been complete failure so far. So with that being said, we're all a bit edgy. So on behalf of the forum, please just accept this as our excuse and most formal apology for any "rudeness" or "inconsiderate" responses to your inquiry. For future reference, all XDA members are encouraged to search prior to starting a new thread for the very reason of avoiding situations such as this. You've been a member for five years and so far have had 50 posts, 10 threads and two of those (threads) are the EXACT same.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/external-usb-keyboard-mouse-htc-10-t3406812 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/external-usb-keyboard-mouse-htc-10-t3406655 posted about five hours apart. (How do you even do that?)
So in conclusion, it's unfair to be defensive when in all honesty all of this could easily be avoided by using the forum for it's very purpose which is to gather and share information to each other, not to have everyone research for you.
Sorry if this was long winded, but I felt that it was necessary to say.

To answer your question I had no idea I double posted that thread, I don't even know how it happened lol
I actually did a lot of searching on this forum before posting, honestly there's just no obvious post title's that talk about root for the s7 edge snapdragon. Go check it out, search "root access", "root", "s7 edge root" on these forums and see what you come up with, the thread titles definitely do not indicate that root is discussed within them (for snapdragon).

If there was root then there would be a "HOW TO ROOT" guide. It's how it's always been. But stating that you searched and somehow didn't pick up the obvious that it isn't possible (yet) is only going to get you flamed. Members only assume that you're either trolling or at the very best too lazy to search it out. There are several threads and comments regarding lack of root. There are petitions and bounties for it as well. So you still defend that with all of your searching you didn't see ANY of that? That's what most of us find hard to believe.

Your post really drives my point home.
I was looking/searching for s7 edge root information. The only logical place for me to search these forums is in the "s7 edge" forums. Many of the links you gave below are in the S7 forum; why would someone search in the s7 forum for information on the s7 edge? They wouldn't...But here's the actual issue, the rest of the links you gave either do not show up when you search the forum for "root" or they are buried so far into the search it's not practical to find it. Again, try it yourself. go to the S7 edge page here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge
and do a search for "root" and see what you get. Can you honestly not see how these search results do not lead to a definitive answer? To prove my point even more, I actually typed in one of the titles you gave below, "Root and unlocked bootloader update" into the search box and it didn't even bring that thread up after searching the title directly. Maybe the search is broken. Try it yourself, it doesn't work.

You're just making excuses. You failed to search and read. We're not going to open more threads discussing how rooting is NOT possible when it should be clear for anyone with common sense would see that if it WAS possible, there would be guides to do it. You don't need to post a thread asking for something that doesn't exist when it clearly isn't otherwise there would be guides, roms, kernels, recoveries, themes, mods, etc. You don't see any of that because they don't exist. They don't exist because there's NOTHING TO GIVE! Not sure why the concept is so difficult to grasp though. The S7 and S7 Edge (Qualcomm) is almost identical with the exception of the screen. Neither of which has root.
But I gave your search a try. Under S7 Edge forum. I searched for "Qualcomm root" and resulted in:

lol, seriously man. You really think someone who just bought an s7 edge looking to root would know to search for the term "Qualcomm"? That's the first I have ever heard that term, I searched "root" and even knew to search "snapdragon". The search you used is only obvious after you know more than the average person about the s7 Edge.
But anyway let me make sure I have everything straight now:
Searching "root" in the S7 Edge forums may not yield the results you are looking for because the S7 Edge is also known as the Snapdragon and may at times also be referred to as the Qualcomm or Qualcomm S7 Edge but can be more commonly referred to as MODEL TYPE: SM-G935P however depending on the locale of purchase it will be referred to as the Exynos which is the international version MODEL TYPE: (SM-G935T) of the snapdragon QUALCOMM s7 "edge" SM-G935P and contains a Samsung processor instead of the Snapragon but may be confused with the identical model (except for the screen) which is the s7 and also has a counterpart in Europe and like it's edge sister model has a locked boot-loader which prevents it from gaining root access unlike the overseas version which is currently unlocked and is able to be rooted so when you see threads talking about the SM-G935T Exynos root then you should know that it's not necessarily referring to the version of phone you have although it may be if you purchased it online through a third party with an unlocked sim card.
It's all very obvious to anyone with common sense.

Yet you still made this thread. For what purpose though? Did you expect your thread to remind us, "Oh! That's what we're missing! Let's create a 'How to root' thread so that people can figure out how to root it because we all know how incapable the forum is without a guide."
For one thing, the forum is very capable. This is how we acquire root access in the first place. Smart ones acquire root and make a guide for the rest of us (dumb ones) so that we can have root as well. If the "smart ones" haven't created a guide for us "dumb ones" (ie the rest of us) then clearly it's not available. But like you said, you're in denial. So in your eyes, we should definitely have root but for some reason it's not being shared with the rest of us. So what do YOU do to fix it? Post a thread to remind everyone that there isn't a root guide. That. That right there is what perplexes me and I'm 100% certain that I'm not alone. Now I'm not trying to be rude but please search, research and read prior to starting a thread. ONLY create a thread if after a LOT of searching and posting in relevant threads you still come up empty. You've created 10 threads with 50 posts. Two of which are duplicate somehow. No including the threads started or your defensive responses here, that's 40 posts. That's a 20% "I can't find it so I'll ask the forum to give it to me instead of searching more" ratio. I'm a retired forum moderator, former developer, regular contributor and I only have 51 threads to my 5,600 post count. since 2009. That's a 1% "Let me start a thread for this" ratio for a moderator / developer. On average, that's 5 threads a year as a moderator / developer. See where I'm going with this? There is almost nothing new that hasn't been mentioned or discussed somewhere within this forum. You just need to take the time to find it instead of just jumping to start a new thread. This is actually a forum rule. Number #1 to be exact. I'll post the link just in case you can't find it either.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=256
So with that being said, please take time to search and read prior to posting new threads.
Again, I'm not trying to be disrespectful. Simply acknowledge that you should spend more time searching, reading, researching and participating in other threads prior to creating new ones. We're trying to reduce clutter and needless threads such as this. Moderators are constantly trying to clean and close them when they should be focusing on more important issues within the forum. We're all doing our part to help out in this forum but while I've spent at least a collective helping you for something that you really could have done for yourself, I could have been focusing on more important issues. I simply could not go without trying to give you sound advice before getting majority of the forum upset at you. Which WILL happen if you're not careful.
Best wishes and good luck. I'll be reporting this thread for closing if that's okay?

TL;DR confirmed.
THREAD CLOSED as it's run off course and become pointless.
@OP, don't start another one like it. Feel free to read up on the currently open threads if you still have questions.
I've been reading through all the threads, but I've yet to find or get a single answer to any of my questions.
1. Can stock users on Nougat root phone? I'm on A2017U
2. If so what is the exact process? and I mean EXACT process!
Simple 2 questions. I'm tired of sorta descriptions. I'm not good with phones so I need straight up, barney style, cut and dry.
1 sure
2 follow the guide
If you have questions about the guide, ask in that thread.
OK let's rephrase because apparently you don't realize I wouldn't be writing this if I had done that and it worked. Also "sure" to my no. 1 doesn't make me feel better. I need a definite answer as in someone has done it. Also, again, I went through multiple threads, asked questions, and none got answers. I was completely ignored. So unless you can make a nice clean list for me, don't tell me something I've obviously done already. Thank you.
How should I know what you have done already?
Take the time to make a proper post, explaining what you have done and what is going wrong and you will get a better answer.
I haven't done anything with the phone yet. Haven't been able to. Every post I've read gives a link to another post for something else that needs to be done before you can do what the previous post stated you can do. It's utterly confusing. What I'm asking for is a list from start to finish of what needs to be done without being linked all over the place. My head is all over the place right now because not a single OP says this is the absolute first step before you can do anything with the phone. I thought I had it all down and then out of nowhere I find out before you can install LOS you need the universal bootloader flashed. Now I'm back to square 1 trying to figure out what steps go where. Honestly my first post was pretty proper in my request, but for some reason people assume that I haven't read anything. I stated clearly what device I'm on and that I hadn't done any steps yet. I don't know how much more specific I can be.
So again, which guide are you wanting to use and what is your question?
LOS has nothing to do with getting your phone unlocked and twrp installed, try to stay focused.

There isn't a guide that answers my questions which is why I asked here. There isn't a single thread that clearly states the axon 7 can be rooted from stock nougat. That's the first thing I want to do. Root, twrp, rom.
update: I read, from a previous reply of yours to someone attempting to do what I'm doing, that they need to flash an unlock zip before doing the fastboot oem unlock. I saw a thread that had multiple unlock zips. which one should I use?
^^^^^^^
This was what I was referring to when I said that I've been hopping from one thread to another just to try and find basic information. I've had plenty of other phones rooted, but by far doing that with this phone is a pain in the arse. There needs to be a single thread that compiles all of the information into a single guide for each phone so people like me aren't losing it reading thousands of replies trying to find out what we can and can't do.
I wouldn't help this guy. Very ignorant posts.
The easiest would be this method.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/edl-emergency-dl-mode-twrp-unlock-t3553514
Choose the package that matches your current system - Bxx_TWRP . There's some redundancy in what it flashes, but that's ok. When done, you'll have twrp along with the fastboot that permits BL unlocking. *You still have to actually unlock the bootloader from fastboot.
FASTBOOT_UNLOCK package will only allow you to unlock the bootloader (pursuant to the above requirement*). You'll then need to manual flash the recovery of your choice .
Once twrp is in place, flash supersu 2.79.
If this is too complicated, promptly return the phone or continue to use in its current state.

And you're reply is ignorant in itself. If you've got nothing to say that's constructive and only place judgement then go elsewhere. I'm tired of everyone on this forum and their ego. Take a step back and think for a minute that not everyone is like you. I asked 2 simple questions and this is the response I get. Try to understand, for once, where other people come from when it comes to understanding things in the threads techies post. I nicely asked in most of those threads multiple times for help and I got no answers or replies like yours instead of just simplifying it for me by telling me what comes first when trying to root the phone.

Choose the package that matches your current system - Bxx_TWRP . There's some redundancy in what it flashes, but that's ok. When done, you'll have twrp along with the fastboot that permits BL unlocking. *You still have to actually unlock the bootloader from fastboot.
FASTBOOT_UNLOCK package will only allow you to unlock the bootloader (pursuant to the above requirement*). You'll then need to manual flash the recovery of your choice .
Once twrp is in place, flash supersu 2.79.
If this is too complicated, promptly return the phone or continue to use in its current state.

Thank you for putting an order to the process. That's all I was requesting, but it seemed my request was a bit complicated to understand for most and is apparently ignorant to ask for simplification. I'll do what's written and hope all goes well.

And you're reply is ignorant in itself. If you've got nothing to say that's constructive and only place judgement then go elsewhere. I'm tired of everyone on this forum and their ego. Take a step back and think for a minute that not everyone is like you. I asked 2 simple questions and this is the response I get. Try to understand, for once, where other people come from when it comes to understanding things in the threads techies post. I nicely asked in most of those threads multiple times for help and I got no answers or replies like yours instead of just simplifying it for me by telling me what comes first when trying to root the phone.

I was just questioning the way you were demanding help. Nobody here is obligated to teach someone how to do things. We do it out our kindness of our hearts. Wanting to share information with individuals that are lost. When I rooted my phone and unlock the bootloader I did the research and I asked questions at the same time. I tried to get this figured out with the great help from XDA. You on the other hand are trying to demand someone to give you a step by step tutorial on how to get this done. I think that's the wrong approach of doing things, when you're asking for help. But then again everyone is different and you might feel some kind of entitlement in XDA! Just my honest opinion.

If you had read my first post you would've seen that I had read many posts AND asked questions, but got no answers. I guess you didn't read that part even when I stated it 3 different times. I am quite thankful for those who do this out of the kindness of their hearts, but when you don't even read and understand my post and go off calling someone ignorant, what does that make you? I've participated in 10 different threads, talking with people just like me who had the same issues, asking the same questions, and....for the who knows how many times, got no answers or responses like yours who don't even read the post and place some halfhearted judgment like you're high and mighty. Nowhere in my post did I demand anything. You can construe my English however you want, but learn to read and understand before lashing out at someone without even so much as giving any advice yourself. Good day
Edit: The person who actually decided to give some helpful tips was the first and ONLY person to actually say something that made sense. Now because of him I'm currently booted and setting up LOS with su permissions. I even apologized to him for coming off like an ass, but you don't deserve that.

Well you might of answered the issue yourself. On why you haven't received much help. It must be an issue with the way you communicate with your posts. I am just saying you might need to look in the mirror. Rather than blaming people here for not helping you.
I'll keep on saying this as much as I need to, I get where you're coming from. There's a lot of data about the correct way of doing things. Best thing to do is read and search. When I got my phone B29 was the new hotness and there was a bunch of older data floating around that I had to sift through. But I did it, I sifted and found my own way and combined two different methods to get my phone rooted and flashed with LOS. Honestly, the trial and error, the searching, the sifting is totally worthwhile because while this device is /DIFFERENT/ compared to methods for HTC and Samsung products, it's not harder. It's better to get yourself properly antiquated to the device you plan on flashing/hacking/rooting because there is /always/ a chance for bricking. Then another thread will be created asking for help to unbrick. Take the time, read now, read everything, understand your device, then push forward.
