Hi,
I am new to rooting. Will this reset my phone to a stock-setting? Meaning, will all of my apps and widgets configuration stay after rooting?

Ha ha ha! You are funny man... Did you just say Verizon and root in the same sentence? Lol I can guarantee you that Verizon has this bad boy LOCKED down just like AT&T will too. I made the switch to T-Mobile and while the coverage is not as good, I can root and rom ALL of my devices that I paid for.
is there an OS X version? we never get love

I did the same for the very same reason. Verizon's coverage was amazing, but everything was completely locked down, so I'm now on t mobile.
The T-Mobile Galaxy S6 Edge will be the first Galaxy phone i've owned. I've heard about KNOX but is/has there ever been a root method for Galaxy devices that doesn't trip knox? And is it easy or possible to untrip knox?

It will probably be 6 or more months before Verizon variant is rooted,.
Note 4 is still not rooted.
@owenbeals, I noticed that you don't mention anything about the consequences of tripping Knox. There are noobs watching your stuff who aren't even sure what rooting is, much less what tripping Knox would do. I would hate to see one of them find out that they have voided their warranty the hard way on such an expensive device. IMO, it would a good idea to mention what tripping Knox does in the OP in red letters to warn people who otherwise wouldn't know.

So maybe the Vietnam ones t mobile have are having all the faults
Will there be a way to unroot (I recall the Superuser app having an option) or will we need a recovery? It's been about a year since I had an android device and rooted an android device so I don't know if the that process got any better.
You can unroot in SuperSU app

In short, Pokemon GO's new update is just taking a massive dump on it's rooted supporters and we can't play the game on the new update. Would our root be able to hide it and allow it to played on our phones with root, still?

Yeah I am, but I read somewhere that Magisk requires an unlocked bootloader, but I don't know if the Systemless portion is different.
Most people would say, forget the game, and keep root, but I'd like to keep both, as I've put a lot of time into the game to have this crappy company screw us like this...
If xposed and Pokémon is incredibly important to you I suggest trying the following. There's a work around for snap chat. Same scenario. You have to install and log into snap chat before installing xposed. Get it to build cache so it doesn't do the device check then install xposed. Profit. I'm not sure but it's worth a try.
I had it working then it ****ed my phone up couldn't get it again

The problem is that the new version of poGo is using the same SafetyNet check that Android Pay does to check for root.
Apparently, the only thing that works for this is Magisk (at the moment).
The latest Pokemon Go app is using SafetyNet checks, so this goes far beyond the Snapchat workarounds.
Ah. I wasn't aware don't have the update yet

So the question is can we flash magisk with flashf ire?
Or would something like rootcloak possibly work?

Root Cloak won't work. I tried that on 2 different Samsung phones :/
I'm on tekx rom and when I tried to unroot via SU my s7 edge would only boot into recovery... so I restored a backup.
It's awefully silly to keep rooted users from playing. Seems like they run out of ideas to find GPS spoofers lol
I have rooted my S7 Edge SM-G935F using chainfire-auto-root ODIN method
^ New Pokemon Go update does not work with this root method - I have used rootcloak from xposed - also does not work. You need to root using MAGISK so here is my question.
1. How do I unroot my phone that I rooted using ODIN Chainfire-Auto-Root file?
2. How do I root S7 Edge SM-G935F using "MAGISK" so i can play pokemon go after this new update?
has anybody tried rooting S7 Edge SM-G935F using MAGISK method yet? does it work? please reply and please give a guide or step by step i am a newb

I'm afraid I have to tell you that over on reddit the developer of magisk said that Samsung devices are only supported if they're on a "custom" kernel.
Although I don't know at which point a kernel stops being stock :/

So... You're using the NEW version with the buddy Pokemon and able to use Xposed/Joystick as well and... actually login!?!?
If so... How did you do it?
I'm curious as well. I had to reflash back to stock due to bootlooping so I'm a little more interested in this subject now that the icy plunge or returning to stock has already been made.
I am sorry if I missed this somewere, but I just got my Galaxy Edge 7 Plus. I see were to root it, but I am not seeing were we are flashing (odin) a custom recovery ?? Are they any Edge 7 TWRP recoveries yet ?? and if so, were are the instructions.
Thank again for all the time and tips.

Yeah, I don't believe that there is such a thing as S7 Edge Plus.
On an unrelated note, what rom are you using galaxyuser88? I don't recognize it from your signature.
@OP
There is no custom recovery. No TWRP. No custom kernels either. We install roms via Flashfire... of which... there is only one (so far) to flash.
No. You cannot install roms from other carriers (unless they are intended to be universal) or for other S7 devices.
No. There hasn't been any progress on changing any of the aforementioned.
Yes. All of this can be found here in the forum if you're willing to search and read.

Its a rom iam currently working on. Its using alot of note7 stuff that overdrive was working on before the whole fireball and recall. Unfortunatly i was hoping that me and overdrive could make something good for the s7, but he decided to leave sammy and get an lg v20. So iam trying to do it in the limited time i have between work and side jobs. Hopefully soon ill have a working rom..

Agreed, but right now i am having an issue with sys.ui . Iam trying to get it working without any sys.ui fc, i hate posting anything with those type of problems due to the fact that many user on here do nothing but complain about fc even if you tell them that doing this or that will cause an fc and not to do it. We went thru this on the note 7 rom we started to work on.

And if you don't have much free time to work on it, it'll be too stressful to provide support for.

Yeah that would be nice. But Some XDA user have gotten to the point that they want everything to work. Otherwise they complain and the most common response you get it. "Why is the dev posting something that is not working 100 %." , " Why doesn't this rom have this or that" or my favorite " I need this or that app in this rom to work. ( this is more towards being rooted and needing to have sammy pay or android pay working) ".
So I've been looking between the S8 and the G6 to upgrade to, and I really like the S8, but I use root a lot for different things- Viper, AdAway, and just general performance things
Does anyone think it's realistic to say we'll get this phone rooted? I remember my old S6 being hard to root, but it got done in a month or 2, and I'm just curious
Thank you to anyone who can help me

If you are referring to the U.S. Snapdragon variants, it will be some time and it will half baked like it was with the S7 and S7 Edge. They locked the bootloader on all the Snapdragon variants and that, obviously, makes it infinitely more difficult to root. The Exynos version of the aforementioned phones had root last year and it apparently performed very well. I wouldn't expect it anytime near launch. These devs have lives, so there will be no timetable.
Also, in my opinion, Viper tends to be a little overrated, but I am just throwing my 2 cents in here.
Now that they removed the remapping functionality for the Bixby button, I will definitely want to root my device (Exynos variant).
So there is no root even with magisk root?
