Hello does anyone know if it is possible to root the galaxy s7 edge, I have the AT&T and? Thanks for the help in advance
As of right now it there is no working root method.
The phone is fairly new and will take some time before it will be rooted.
I believe it took almost over a month just to get the S6 rooted, but since the S7 is fairly similar to the S6 it might not take long.
Unlikely the att will get rooted since it has a locked bootloader.
I thought with the locked bootloader you can root the device you just can't flash any custom Roms to it?

thats how it goes . When i had my s3 i had to use a method called bootstrap and something else to bypass the bootloader thing. but you can still root

I'm sure there's been many posts on how to root this device before. But my S5 is AT&T, and just received the Marshmallow update last week. Not to mention the last samsung I had attempted to root (S4, 4.4.1 kitkat) didn't end too well.
Can anyone give me links to forums OR if you know how to root my device, care to help me?

You'll not get root access on that s5 active if it's on marshmallow due to the bootloader being locked. I have one and the only reason I have root on it is because I still have the OC5 bootloader on it so it will forever be on TMS5. Sorry buddy.

Can't downgrade?
Just got to take it. Well f.....
Thanks

I do believe they have a way to downgrade back to lollipop now and get root access on lollipop but you will need to check your build version/number and see if it matches the one in their instructions. Here's one for s5active which is what I have but I don't see the one for s5. On another note my g870 build has been g900 for as long as I've had it.

Not likely, bootloader is locked and may never become unlocked
Well at least we have root

So I am new to this stuff and I am wondering what does OEM unlock mean? Does this mean that the boot loader is unlocked? I have a samsung galaxy s7 edge with AT&T sm-G935A and I am trying to figure out if I can use TWRP and I see where you say no but I have found some sites that say yes and I am confused and do not want to brick my phone. I have rooted it just fine but would like custom recovery options if possible. As I said I am new to this and trying to figure it all out. Thanks.

There is no way to get the Qualcomm (US) Galaxy S7's to boot unsigned code. Specifically, Samsung signed code. That means no TWRP or custom ROMs. The engineering kernel (which you rooted with) was leaked and is signed by Samsung, but it will only boot signed kernels. It does, however, make /system read-write so you can add your own system services.
The only good news is that Odin can recover from quite a few situations that would ordinarily brick a phone, but there are no custom recovery options such as what TWRP provides (like a whole ROM backup)
If you want a fully open Galaxy S7 you will have to import one of the Exynos devices, as they are still unlockable for now. However, as Samsung Pay expands, expect those to get locked down at some point in the future.

OEM Unlocking is specifically for "Unlocking" on the carrier side so the device can be used on AT&T/T-Mo/Sprint etc
Bootloader unlocking is a completely different thing.

That's not entirely true. Turning on OEM Unlock warns that using Custom OS will disable functions like Knox and Samsung Pay. I own an AT&T Galaxy s7 Edge (SM-G935A) running official Oreo OS (Android 8.0.0)
What you have described is Carrier unlocking.
EDIT: Removed image link
I just got this phone I see several people saying it's able to root but I can't find the method for my model.
Please help!
G935AUCS4BQE1 is my firmware.
Running At&t.
So truly, not to be an ass, but please search. It might take a little bit of reading, but you can find your answer in less than 10 min
Still can't find out how can somebody link me to it?

This appears to have all the information needed to root this device. I didn't try myself since not being able to use a custom recovery due to the locked bootloader leaves little to be enjoyed.

At&t s7 edge can be rooted but the bootloader cannot be unlocked. So no twrp and no custom roms.
Is there a way to root the galaxy tab E that comes from AT&T? I've found a TWRP image for the SM-T377P version but nothing for SM-T377A which is what I have. I was thinking they might be cross compatible but if they were, I'm sure TWRP would have listed it on their site.
The option to OEM unlock is in the dev settings list so I'm thinking I can flash the recovery but I'm not sure on that.

Kingroot can't root my Galaxy Tab SM-T377A runnning 6..0.1 Marsmallow, I just want to uninstall or freeze those AT&T bloatware but I guess I have to wait coz I can't return it anymore...Thanks ..
Worst tablet ever. Att can't even get their software updates right. I can't use this as a phone because the stupid number sync software keep giving an error and no one at att knows how to fix it. I've tried different dialers and freezing them. Nothing works. Now I have com.android.phone is not responding and their is no firmware download anywhere to fix it. Now I have to factory reset the whole damn tablet lol. I'm going to sell the and get a Sprint unlocked version. What a shame. This tablet had potential too

You can Google "replace Kingroot with supersu". There is a 4 step method for replacing the temp Kingroot with chainfires SuperSu. Even if bootloader is locked. Just found one of these in Facebook marketplace for $50.

Anyone flashed t377p on t377a?

I think this tablet sucks, too. AT&T hoodwinked me into getting this thing, and now I'm stuck with it for 2 years. It's slow and choppy--I'd rather have an iPad. My "Next" contract is just about up, and I can't wait to dump their ass for another carrier.
Agree. Hoodwink is exactly what they did. This tablet is SLOW and the bloatware is chewing up RAM. I'm about to dump it for something else. Was hoping to be able to root it so I could kill off some of the bloat, but no joy....

I knew I should have checked here first... but at least I can return it... I figured a device of its age would for sure have custom roms and root. Stupid at&t! Guess I'm back on the search for a LTE tablet that works on at&t for under $300
Hi, recently I bought a cheap AT&T Tab E. It has only 4GB internal storage instead of 16, weird? The tab is almost useless because it has almost no space for new files/apps. Anyone knows what's wrong with the tab? Thanks

Totally new to rooting in general, and researching isn't going well as I don't have any context/experience yet...and the vocabulary is new. I have (literally just bought a few days ago) this version of the Tab E...and I'm trying to root it so I can use it more effectively as a head unit in my 03 F150. I'm finding out I bought the wrong unit to do this reasonably easily.
Would you mind posting a quick walkthrough of how this works? Install KingRoot and then replace it with Supersu to get the tablet permarooted?
Thanks!

Not a big fan of youtube instructional videos, first one available, not sure if its good........
https://www.google.com/search?q=rep...0j7&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#kpvalbx=1
This is a guide with a one-click .bat file to supposedly do this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/a310/general/how-to-remove-replace-kingroot-kinguser-t3308989
Directions for manual replacement:
https://missingtricks.net/replace-kingroot-kinguser-with-supersu-superuser-android-guide/
Remember, this is for you replacing "TEMP ROOT", not when a device is permanently rooted! This means being in the position of Kingroot barely getting temporary root that will be lost when device is rebooted!!! It involves using Flashify (by Chainfire as well) and authorizing it's root ability to flash.
As in every OP on XDA, do so at "YOUR OWN RISK".........

Is there any way to find out if my T-Mobile Galaxy S7 Edge is locked or unlocked. Can you tell from the recovery menu or is there some other way. I want to root it but I'm seeing too many conflicting opinions. I can attached pics of whatever screens are needed. Thank you.

bootloaders are locked in all US variants S7 and S7 Edge. The only thing been achieved so far is the root and you have to use Eng boot.
Rooted
Been a while since I last posted on this but I ended up going with Max and rooted with his method and it works. :victory: Thank you Max.

So far I have not had any problems and the phone is working just as good as it did before root. Now to remove all the bloatware.
