press thakns if i help you hehe, i want to make a tutorial but i think i cant upload images yet
Thanks a lot. Another thing, does using Odin removes all data & apps?
nope, you dont need to do any wipe
Alright. Thanks a lot. Another thing, is yours Marshmallow too?
I did everything as you said. I pulled out the battery after flashing TWRP, but when I tried to go to recovery menu. My phone keeps getting stuck at the 'Samsung GALAXY Note 4' logo and there's a red message in the top left corner that says, "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING."
which twrp version your flashed?
im at mm u1dpf1
twrp-3.0.2-0-treltexx.img.tar
The problem's solved. Not sure what caused it at first. But I got the TWRP flashing done. Took me 3 tries.
might some drive missing? i did at the fist time, i dont read any guide i just remember a time i root an samsung mega 5.8, and use this method, i have asked to how to root my note 4 and no one help me, so i decide to take the risk and try it, and i done whit it, now enjoy the root acces bro
Tnx a lot for your help. I appreciate it!

Change DNS settings
If the above tips did not work for you, its time to take things to the next level. If the Galaxy S7 is the only device in your Wi-Fi network to suffer from slow speeds, you can try changing the DNS server used on the handset.
For this, you will first have to make the device forget the existing Wi-Fi network. Then, tap on its name to join again, but before you enter the password, tap on ‘Show advanced options.’ Now proceed to tap ‘IP Settings’ and select ‘Static’ from the list. Leave other IP settings as they are, and simply enter the DNS server you’d like to use in the DNS text field area. You can try using Google DNS first (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) or OpenDNS (208.67.222.222) to see if they fix the Wi-Fi woes on your S7 or not.

How I Rooted my G930W8
Don't skip any of the step.
First clean install the latest Nougat 7.0 G930W8VLU2BQH1 - Guide
Download the MagiskFilesRoot, unzip it in the sdcard, slide it inside your phone
Boot up S7 then setup the normal way
Enable Developer Options - System > About Phone > Build Number > Tap 7 Times, press back.
Select Developer Options then Turn on ADB Debugging & OEM Unlock
Disable the Samsung Factory Reset Protection if you have it enabled
Put phone in download mode
Download TWRP using this twrp-3.1.1-0-herolte.img.tar
Open Odin, uncheck AutoReboot, check AP point to the TWRP we just downloaded. Hit Start
Once its finished, do Recovery Combo (Power + VolumeUp + HomeButton)
It will reboot in TWRP Recovery, flash MagiskV14.zip, if you have problem seeing files wipe DATA and then reboot to recovery again using TWRP, select SDCARD as storage then flash MagiskV14.zip
Reboot the phone, wait 10-15 minutes then install MagiskManager.apk
Optional - Open Magisk Manager, select SuperUser then open Download. Install Busybox by 0sm0sis.
You are now running systemless root
Refer to MaxLee Video on Rooting S7 with Magisk - Guide
Did you manage to root the G930W8 on nougat 7.0 build with this method? I've had nothing but problems attempting to root for the last few days. Tried cf-auto root and this magisk method early on in my attempts with no success. I've just fine a full clean build flash and restore and would really like to root but am worried I'm just going to get no where again and spend hours getting back to where I'm at now...

Yes. Refer to second post. I'm now running the latest nougat with magiskv14 systemless root. Its better that way, I can still use snapchat and banking applications.
What was the problem you are having?

Having trouble as well.
I get message "integrity check failed" after flashing magisk via twrp a step 11 then makes me reset the phone but because of the custom recovery it only bootloops.
Then i restart the whole process again only to stop at step 11.
Is there a step i'm missing?
Start all over again, but on step 11 follow this.
Try it this way:
When you boot up to TWRP, swipe allow modification. Flash MagiskV14.zip, then if it says install TWRP app, press "do not install".
If you have problem seeing files wipe DATA and then reboot to recovery again using TWRP, select SDCARD as storage then flash MagiskV14.zip
I tried it but i accidentally let the phone reboot after flashing twrp and it failed the integrity check and started bootlooping. I entered recovery and grabbed the log which i attached here.
So I did the steps again but used this steps from the other guide for exynos models
At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.
By swiping right, you will trigger dm-verity, and if you don't follow the next step you will be unable to boot!
If you are going to root your device and follow the rest of these steps, then it is safe to swipe right and enable modifications.
If you want to use Systemless DevBase, then do not swipe. Keep it as read only.
Go to Wipe and click on format data. Type "yes" and it will format.
Now go back to home and click on "Reboot" then click on "Recovery" Option.
Then went from step 11 here and what you said to flash magisk and it worked.
My phone is finally debloated.
I tried your steps many times but everytime it's failing. Everytime it fails when installing "system". I've tried with different CSC version firmwares but it failed with each one of them. I', 100% sure that it is G930W8 S7 Flat because it was running on the same version of custom ROMs.

Same here... I tried it on two different stock roms with no luck.
I almost soft bricked my s7 which was working perfectly before applying the patch. It was giving me dm-verity error at boot...
I was able to flash it back and make it working using full stock rom.
I highly recommend readers to NOT apply the above Magisk Root on their G930W8 (S7).

sorry if this is in the wrong section i have galaxy s7 its on android 7.0 my power button is broken doesnt work at all i normally dont let my phone power down completley cause of it and it has ive tried rebooting the phone usin volume down and then plugging into computer and it just brings up the charge screen is there any other ways i can get this phone powered on even if i have to download something on my computer i will pleaqse help if possible
Have you tried these suggestions?
https://www.addictivetips.com/android/turn-on-an-android-phone-with-a-broken-power-button/
I just want to confirm this, since it's not explicitly mentioned in the post... When you root it trips KNOX, which locks you out from Disconnect Pro, Samsung Health, and Samsung Pay. Does this also mean that Android pay will not work either? Or does this method allow for Android pay to work?
If not, is there a workaround yet?

There are many reports on the XDA forums that Android Pay works with Magisk systemless root and with tripped Knox on S7 (as opposed to Samsung Pay which will not work once Knox is tripped).

I followed these directions exactly but when I boot into TWRP and attempt to install the Magisk.zip I recieve the following errors stating "could not mount /data partition" then causing the phone to bootloop until I flash the stock firmware again.
Why is this happening?

can you clarify(link to) what combination of steps you used to achieve a successful root? I havent attempted again since my last attempt but it sounds like you had some success. If you'd share it'd be really helpful and appreciated. Would really like to get root back on my phone
also just to clarify, I'm on nougat 7.0 with security patch Nov 1, 2017
Thanks

If its first time TWRP installation then you need to Format data (Caution: Format data will format the Phone internal storage and you need to backup files first if you have in phone storage like photos video and etc) After formatting data it Will allow to read and write the data partition). Further once you Flash TWRP then Super SU or Magist (Root) is compulsory to boot normal unless its bootloop
Any of you recommend holding off on the root till the Oreo update? Also, does rooting change the kernel to a different one? I wanna avoid battery/performance issues if I can by staying on the stock kernel.

hi
can someone confirm a procedure for rooting s7 on exynos cpu
would be more than appreciated
thanks
nate
Im not New to rooting phones Iam new to rooting Samsung phones and Odin Software.
some specs of SM-S737TL:
Carrier: WMFM
OS: Android 7.0
Model #: SM-S737TL
Device Name: Galaxy J7 Sky Pro
CPU: Exynos Octa 7870
Architecture: 8x Arm cortex-A53 @ 1.59 GHz
Board: Universal7870
Ram: 2G but actually is 1.85G "but who's counting right!?"
Internal Storage: 16G
Security KNOX
few things about this phone:
-In developer options there is NO option for OEM UNLOCK "My first phone without that option"
-FRP LOCK is ENABLED
-In this phone's recovery the top line reads "samsung/j7popeltetfntmo/j7popeltetfntmo7.0/NRD90M/S737TLUDU1AQF2 user/release-keys" My issue here is "TMO" Im guessing that that means T-Mobile???
-I feel like the Internal Storage was Auto Encrypted without asking the user and without an option to encrypt internal storage. The only option for Encryption is individual file encryption. I say this because battery life is horrible I have seen this on other phones that have encryption enabled. Or is it KNOX doing the battery drain?
-Odin download mode with VOL Dwn+Home Key+PWR

2. Could we use a root method from a similar rebranded phone?
3. Could we use a SuperSU from the rebranded or Super similar phone? "i kinda know the answer but I ask anyway"
4. Could we just flash the latest SuperSU using CF auto-root w/Odin or Just typical ADB commands and gain root like that?
5. Notice the line at the recovery of this phone it says "j7popeltetfntmo" TMO usually means T-Mobile. So whats up with that???
6. Odin Mode easy to get to Rumor is Tracfone Doesnt lock bootloaders Does this mean the Sky Pro Tracfone Varient has a Unlocked bootloader out of box? I assume yes because we can get to bootloader, Odin Mode, and Recovery without hax/mods

I'm waiting on that too I bought two on black Friday to send to relatives in Mexico and so far no root no unlocking, waiting on Odin or that other root software to get er done
Sent from my HTC One M9 using XDA Free mobile app
this is op. Look for crom sevice on xda download install. I believed it oem unlucked my phone. Check it out guys. Get back to me let me know what you think. now if we have oem unlock we just need stock rom.
With this phone the way to root it would be Reset to factory then not letting the phone to load and run stock install WE HAVE TO AVOID ENCRYPTION WHICH THIS PHONE FORCES! SO WE FACTORY RESET AND GO IMMEDIETLY TO BOOTLOADER
Oh I should tell you I installed crom service but the phone didnt reset and apply update immedietly it was like 1 or 2 days later. I just left it installed figured if it didnt do anything right then it doesnt work. I Got distracted with a phone call and forgot to uninstall crom. Thats the story I want root for my phone

Well done, wasnt sure if i could say anything yet. pointed in the Crom direction on another thread. I need to read all the rules. I am new at this but love it.

Thanks for reply your status

Ok. Before I even say anything, I have no idea what half of the things that are said on here means. All I want is to be able to use my phone as a mobile hotspot/tethering. But that setting is not on this phone. I have the j727vl. I downloaded a app that lets me access the setting but it's blank. Does that make sense? Anyways. I Googled ?how I could possible get my phone to let me do that, and i cane across rooting it. I've tries kingroot and one other thing (forgot what it's called ?) so please if someone can explain what to do (in a language I can understand) id be forever grateful. I just want to be able to watch Netflix again ??

You don't need an app to be able to use your phone as a hotspot
All you have to do is go to connections and then Mobile Hotspot and tethering

I cant. That is not even an option on this phone, or atleast not the one I have. I have read that the carrier may have that setting blocked.

4. Could we just flash the latest SuperSU using CF auto-root w/Odin or Just typical ADB commands and gain root like that?
5. Notice the line at the recovery of this phone it says "j7popeltetfntmo" TMO usually means T-Mobile. So whats up with that???
6. Odin Mode easy to get to Rumor is Tracfone Doesnt lock bootloaders Does this mean the Sky Pro Tracfone Varient has a Unlocked bootloader out of box? I assume yes because we can get to bootloader, Odin Mode, and Recovery without hax/mods

So this method works for this mobile?
my model is Samsung sm-s727vl
which is from StraightTalk
Does this also sim unlocks the phone?
I don't really want to try this without someone saying this method worked.
Anything so Far?
Anything so Far? I tried to root my phone but when following instructions but I can't flash anything. I tried going in control panel, update drivers etc. but no luck. Help me and if anyone has successfully rooted the SM-S737TL then let me know how you did it. Thanks in advance. Will the other versions work with SM-S737TL? (eg. SM-J727V OR SM-S737VL)
Root didn't work for sm-s737tl
I love this Walmart family mobile phone but would like to root it. I bought the same phone for my mom because it's a great phone for the price. I tried the root as outlined but the result was FAIL! ODIN found the phone and connected but the end result was Complete (Write) operation failed and the download screen said something about a security check failing.
I'm assuming I'm missing an OEM unlock but don't see it in developer options menu.
My baseband version is s737tlud1aqf2
I really want to root this phone!
Hlp I have no computer can I root it ?????
I have no computer but I'm working on borrowing one I really hope this works I've been waiting on this for a long time thank you in advance:fingers-crossed:

This is my post basically backing up files for the Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013 "p4noterf" so we don't lose them later.
Restore factory fimeware
If you have crashed out your Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013 and need to restore it try the following
1. First make sure you can enter download mode: Power + Vol. Down and then Vol. Up to continue (Google if unclear)
2. Download the latest factory firmware (N8013UEUCOI1_N8013XARCOI1_XAR) here:
https://mega.nz/#F!UdFwWLyL!006TWe3MPyK-9yeAJlH7AQ
3. We need it unzipped so unzip it.
4. Download Odin such as Odin 3.13.1 here: https://mega.nz/#!wZ9H1ArK!TLiWdY9YUKNzVpnVXuqzJz4rtA86XysGlmFfdWl5LvE
5. Unzip Odin and click it to start it up. It's the file named Odin3 v3.13.1 (or Odin3 v3.13.1.exe)
6. With your tablet in download mode plug it into your computer, it should show up in Odin
(If it won't connect to PC try another USB port or install the drivers: https://mega.nz/#!lFMVDbSC!j_sMAjcXneHSPkqgOysc382dqVzNB82QP5T_Huet8YA )
7. Load the unzipped firmware into the AP slot and press start

Install TWRP
1. Through Google Play store Install TWRP app and either select your device, download files and flash firmware in the app or continue at step 2 after installing.
2. You can direct download latest versoin to your sdcard (Download folder will do): https://dl.twrp.me/n801x/
Backup of latest at the time of this writing was ===> https://mega.nz/#F!EYlXCQhB!fTx37McGKNCWXkumldtHLA
3. Inside the TWRP app select the file you downloaded
4. Flash firmware
You can now use TWRP to install a custom rom if you wish, I used CM 13.1

2. Move slider to On position

Thank you for this! Made sure to save those files while I still can. Was able to restore, root and install Lineage OS 14.1 on this old Note 10.1 I inherited. Truly amazing to jump from Jellybean straight to Nougat when Samsung couldn't have cared less to update this tablet.
Cm 14.1 sidesync 4.7 on samsung gt-n8013 not working
Does anyone have any luck getting the Sidesync to work with Wifi Direct from the Samsung Note 10.1 Gt-N8013 Android 7.1 to the Android 8.1 Samsung S8 Phone. Trying to Get the Mirror Feature to Remote Control the Phone on the Tablet Screen
Can install sidesync and click to run .. app screen opens but than crashes with error message about not being able to mirror. Seems something not communicating with Wifi or hardware on tablet incompadability..??
Firmware V1.0
Your post has nothing to do with this topic .
see your identical post moved to Q&A
When I download the firmware using Odin, where does it get saved? I can't find the file with TWRP when I am ready to flash the firmware.
Odin does not download firmware.
You download firmware .
Odin is an installer for stock firmware tar files .
TWRP installs custom rom zips .

Not sure if you'll see this but how did this go? I have the n8013 (2013) model and would really like to update it past Jelly Bean. My biggest concern is the S Pen and S Notes still working as well as they do now. Is yours still up and running? Thanks!
SPen etc dont really work on non Samsung firmware .
Suggest a search for alternative spen on play store etc .

Ok, I extracted the PIT file from my tablet with Heimdall (like it was suggested in the readme), then I flashed TWRP Recovery and same result... Bootloop, and when trying to access Recovery Mode the TeamWin logo shows up for a second and the tablet reboots. Also tried flashing a stock rom, PhilZ Touch recovery, and still both Odin and Heimdall always say it was "succesful" but the result is always the same, nothing changes.
It's just weird to me how the TeamWin logo still shows up even after I flash the stock rom. I read somewhere that the oldest stock rom for my device might work, but I can't find a link anywhere for it except here, where it's Premium Only...
The Samsung Galaxy note 3. Apparently it's a unique device that can't install TWRP normally. I wanted to install TWRP on this variant (hltexx or hlte {not sure which}) But it won't let me so I tried a method that usually works for me on most devices. Install CWM recovery first then overinstall it with TWRP. But that method didn't work either. And now I can't boot to recovery just loops on the logo. If I take the battery out and try to boot to recovery still...same result. I can boot normally just not recovery. I tried to install odin but I accidentally locked myself in parental controls and I have no idea what the administrator password is...is there any other way to install TWRP and make it boot correctly without odin and stuff?:crying: I'm trying to get a new ROM on it cuz the current one sux it's called Dokdo project apparently and running android version 5.1.1 I hope maybe giving the ROM info helps.

I take it you tried to use fastboot from you PC to install the recovery? Samsung phones don't support that - you have to use Odin to flash things in download mode (sort of like fastboot). You really should get your Odin working as that's the way to restore the phone back to stock if things get screwed up.
But, if you're rooted, then you can flash recovery from Terminal on the phone using the following commands:
Code:
su
dd if=<recovery.img file> of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15
where <recovery.img file> is the actual path to the recovery image file (not the *.img.tar[/b] file).

TWRP has an img file that supports various variants in one img file. Like the hltexx or hltkor etc are all supported by the same img file so it doesn't really matter much my problem is that TWRP doesn't install when using the universal method. So would the terminal option really work?
Most first time users flash TWRP. Tar file through Odin
