Why would root fail due to a flauty battery?
Install a custom recovery first then flash SuperSU. Use Odin. Check YouTube. Flash twrp. Then flash SuperSU. You have a custom recovery and root. If you want only root try alps like kingroot.
The faulty battery didn't have enough power to turn the phone back on after the root made it reboot. It just kept putting it into a bootloop.
The guide I was using said to use Kingroot to temproot it (it rooted once and then got stuck in the bootloop, which is were the phone is currently now) and then SuperSU to perm root it but now I can't even get more than 55% with Kingroot before it shuts itself down.
I thought the bootloop was my fault from ****ing with it so I flashed twrp onto it and it now has a little broken lock that says custom over it but the twrp commands don't come up so I still can't put the ROM on it.
If your on 5.1.1 better use kingoroot for a high success rate and after that you NEED to unlock bootloader first and then flash twrp. If you dont unlock bootloader you cant flash twrp.

Why would you use Kingroot or Kingoroot if not to unlock the bootloader? Neither will give you a stable root and both have the potential of calling home to China with your personal data.
If you need to unlock your bootloader there are threads in this subforum that will tell you how to do it. However, I'd strongly suggest that you do some serious study into what you're doing and why before you attempt it.

My roommate from college was telling me to do this and was helping me but he did a half as way of explaining this stuff so thats why I came here. The Kingroot and Kingoroot is to unlock bootloader? I thought they were for a temproot? Not to be a pest but would you be so kind to explain?

You need temporary root at which time you can deploy the exploit that will unlock the bootloader and give you full root. That's what Kingroot or Kingoroot do for you. What they may or may not do for you is give your phone cooties and call home to China with your personal information.
Can I hold your hand and walk you through rooting your phone? Yeah, I could, but I won't. The guys that developed the exploit think it's a good idea for someone to have at least a clue as to what they're doing. I happen to agree with that. Rooting is fairly safe for your phone so long as you're willing and able to follow directions exactly.
Read up on the process of rooting. There are three or four threads in the general section that tell you how. If you think you're up for it, do it.
So I got the "engboot" root method to work, and it's pretty sweet... but, that means I can't play Pokémon Go anymore.
I tried using Magisk and it bricked my phone, because of Qualcomm SecureBoot - I had to use KIES to flash the stock image back (which wiped all my data in the process, ugh)
I've seen people talking about using Magisk and phh superuser on an S7, but I believe they're talking about the Exynos variant, not the Snapdragon one. And since they're talking about TWRP, that likely involves tripping Knox.
Is there some way to do something similar via FlashFire? All TWRP does is let you flash stuff to /system anyway... besides making backups. no reason you really need TWRP to set up systemless root - just that the auto installers try to piggyback off of TWRP (or Magisk which tries to alter your boot files, which causes SecureBoot to have a hissy fit)
I noticed in psouza's guide, he mentions "making a change" that disables root to be able to use Android Pay (which uses SafetyNet just like Pokémon Go)... but searching the thread, nobody has actually mentioned how to do what he talks about doing. I tried using SuperSU to disable root, and that just screwed it up entirely. SuperSU was unable to re-enable root, and I still had root built into the engboot image, so SafetyNet was still failing. Had to redo the adb commands to get my root usable again.
Ended up just going back to stock for now until a real solution emerges...

Wait, what? Seriously, I can just use that suhide xposed module and not even need to disable my root?
If that actually works... then that's pretty fricking amazing. That's the impression I got from reading that post, anyway - have YOU tried it? Curious if actually does what it says on the tin.

Sorry, i just read through it again and forgot it need systemless supersu installed which our devices dont have.
So sorry for the confusion.
I just recently switched bavk to my s7 edge,
But this is what i used on my nexus.
Yeah I was going to say, there's no way it's that easy.
Honest question though - assuming you have the "normal" root method (where it has /system/bin/su or /system/xbin or something similar), why can't you take those binaries that are written by the root exploit (along with the superuser app - which in the case of the S7 engboot method, I believe is stored as a normal user app anyway, not a system one) and copy them to wherever the systemless root puts the files? Not sure if it normally uses /data or one of the user folders. Then delete the binaries - since with root access you have r/w access to /system anyway.
I've been using Android long enough to know they're just different folders/partitions on the same device. You have /system, /data, /cache plus others these days.
I have a Sprint Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G935P running on 7.0 and have been looking for a way to root my device. I was looking around the cf autoroot website and you can customize your own root package for your device. They list my device on there and it lets me build an odin flashable root package for it. Will this work? Or will it brick my device? It even lets me pick the exact device, and android security patch level and build version that is currently installed on my phone. Ive read that this phone has a locked bootloader that is locked down tight and its hard to get unlocked. This says
BOOTLOADER UNLOCK
If your bootloader is not unlocked, depending on the device, it may be automatically unlocked (wiping all data), flashing may fail, or the device may brick altogether.
So will it unlock my bootloader and root my phone? or will it not work? I havent seen anything about this method when i just google "sprint galaxy s7 edge root" and i dont see anything about it on this forum, i figure if it worked that more people would be talking about it and using it. Any advice? should i try it? it also gives links to the stock boot and recovery images, and i also have a copy of them saved on my pc.
give it a try, the worst thing that will happen is you will brick your device. Then you will have to play dump and get it replaced.

It won't work. There is a thread here about rooting. You need a special boot image and it is unstable.
The latestThread for easy rooting appears to be here

Because I never rooted my H918 and the replacement from T-Mobile insurance for bootloop issue came with H91810Q already installed, I have been looking for a way to possibly gain root access. Because an exploit will be needed for now, though there is some interesting looking work with modifying LG UP, I found this:
http://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerabi...r-2017/opec-1/Linux-Linux-Kernel-3.18.31.html
I'm not as familiar with coding or exploits as I would like to be, and not sure if I understand if this will give the necessary access but thought I would share for those that DO know and might point me in the right direction or explain if this would work or why it would not.
The exploit you are referring to is Blueborne. That doesn't help us. It is a bluetooth exploit that gains access to the phone. It allows the exploiter control over your phone, as in a thief who steals your phone now has control over it. That doesn't mean the thief could root it. Unless it's a dev on xda, but so far none have done it.
The dirty cow exploit no longer works after 10j firmware and since you can't roll back from 10q, no TWRP, no root.
I"m finding it impossible to find anything on rooting the LG Stylus 2.. I know it's an old phone but I'm hoping someone out there has a solution to this..
I've tried Kingo Root. Both the App and PC version fails to root the phone.
This phone is running Android 7.0.
I've rooted phones before. The last one I rooted was a Blackview BV6000 which was very easy to root using Smartphone Flash Tool and a root file.
Would someone be able to point me in the right direction? Thanks
does anyone even know how to unlock the bootloader.. The known method using adb doesn't work. Either does the method listed on their website.. It all requires you to boot into your bootloader which I can't get into.
has anyone been successful at unlocking the bootloader on this phone. LG-K520DY. ?
LG Stylus 2 Duo.
Did anyone find a solution?
