Had a couple of issues but everything went well,Thank you very much.
So I recently bought a galaxy s7 from t-mobile. I do not wish to install custom roms or do anything with the bootloader. All I need is root. Do any of you know of any news for root for the snapdragon varients of the s7? Thanks in advance

Dear all,
What is the best way to root S7 edge with stock software but without affecting future OTA updates?
Don't root
Not possible. Choose one. Root or OTA.

If your S7 or S7 Edge is either a G935F or a G930F phone
then you are in luck.
There are basically two ways to root, either using one of the
many stock, almost stock or custom kernels and supersu or
you can root using CF-Autoroot method.
If your phone is a branded Tmobile, AT&T, Sprint or Verizon
then it cannot be rooted at all and will never be rooted due
to the fact that all of those phones have locked bootloaders.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
CF-Autoroot. I'll check it out. Thanks!

CF-auto root does not work on Nougat for S7. Only SuperSU at the moment.
Flash TWRP in ODIN.
Then boot to TWRP and flash SuperSU-v2.79-SR3

What do you mean? My device is a sm-g935v and I'm rooted after flashing the sm-g935u firmware and developer kernel then flashfire supersu... Even flashed echo rom. Everything works great.

I believe it was possible on the Snapdragon variant but never on Exynos.
Have you tried Kingroot? It works and successfully root ALL of my devices, even on the locked bootloader S4 Verizon.
So I been looking at several threads about s7 edge and such.
most are older some arent.
Is this phone able to root and get TWRP on it so I can put on an Custom rom?
If so, can you link me a tutorial to doing so.
Thanks.
Build Number: NRD90M.G935VVRS4BQH1
Model Number: SM-G935V
Version: 7.0
TWRP is not available for s7 devices sold in the USA, as the bootloader is locked due to carrier policies. Sorry

You can root the device and put a custom ROM on it. You just have to use Odin and Flashfire to do it. Read how in other threads.
gmerdude said:
Those are not custom roms they are stock modified roms the s7 has a locked bootloader so no custom roms

Can you point me to the thread on how to do this? I am in the same boat. Not looking for a custom rom, I just want to get rid of the Verizon bloatware.

Then Open your favorite root file manager, and delete them.
