Let me start off by saying i appreciate all the developers who put in the hard work to make root and such possible. I could not imagine the frustration they go through.
So my question is about the future of this phones development, I feel like as of December 31 2016 that the chances of root are only for those with builds with/under pd8 (as far as I'm aware) (I am running PK1) everyone above pd8 build is SoL. So my question, is there any chance we will see full root for those of us on the newer builds? Also with the talks of the Nougat update around the corner will root be harder to achieve seeing as its new firmware and developers haven't had much time digging into it? My reason for wanting root is to have xposed running, viper4android and be able to debloat it. Forgive my ignorance but does it feel like the s7e development is stuck? I feel like maybe I would get a better experience if I traded in s7e for a device that has more stable development. I'm sorry if I offended anyone, if anything I just want to be informed.

Nothing sure what kind of answer you're looking for that you wouldn't already know.
We only have root due to an engineering kernel.
Android 7 requires a different kernel. So we can't use it.
So unless we get a leaked engineering kernel for Android 7 then we will have to see if we can unlock the bootloader or discover some other kind of exploit. But I'm sure you already knew all of that.
The s7 is pretty much dead, are only hope is that a dev finds an exploit and capitalizes or an inside man leaks a file for Nougat.

I just got CM14 (Nougat) on my Note 4, it made it into a whole new device way better than the laggy S7Edge. Here's hope that Nougat has some exploit and we can root it. CM14 is so smooth.
Root is supposed to work thru pk1 with eng kernel. When I update to official 7.x I am going to leave bootloader as is so I can still root.
I am not impressed that much with the new rom and hate the user interface, so I may go back to rooted 6.0 until if and when 7.x is rooted.

you may not be able to bootup android 7 with a MM bootloader. I ran into this problem in the past with my older notes. I couldn't get MM to work on a LP bootloader. It would awesome if someone could pull out the Beta nougat BL so we could revert it ends up being a problem.

Before I went back to stock to get the beta on the second phase, I went to stock Verizon and flashed their beta.
I was able to revert to stock tmo pk1, so am hoping that will be possible with the official 7.0 also, as that bootloader in rootable.

If we can't revert back to a bootable mm and that us no sign of a rootable nouget, I may just kiss thus device good by and get a 935f.
Chen has multiboot working on it plus, he has a 7.0 Rom with Wi-Fi calling working. I may have to give up some tmo network features, but given that they have no plans to get the higher speed frequencies where I live, there is not much that I will be loosing out on.

Would not loose WiFi calling - it is working in Chen's 935f ROM. I think we loose band 12 and possibly another, bit not sure.

Just rooted my phone was running @5.0 stock lollipop and I updated to Jasmine 6.1 ROM (I thought 6.1 means 6.1 Android Version but i guess i was wrong)
I'm looking for verizon galaxy note 3 rom that's running on marshmallow
I seen T mobile note 3 can flash rom that's running on marshmallow right now
Is there any marshmallow rom available for verizon model as well?
I'm relatively new to all of this but from what I can gather our bootloaders are still locked (anyone that hasn't flashed a different one before 4.4) I have a rooted 5.0 verizon note 3 but I can't get twrp on it to flash any roms. I don't know if there are anyways around this so if anyone can point me to a set of instructions to read up on, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Their is no Marshmallow (android 6) ROM available that I am aware of. Perhaps we shall get lucky and their will be a Jasmine one available one day?

Due to an exploit you can root it now. Many android devices that were once not rootable are now rootable. You can also install custom roms, but their is still no solution for installing Boot Recoveries (like TWRP)
You can root your device through yemen one click
Then use FlashFire to install Jasmine Rom. Seems to work pretty decent for me.

i know this threads old but root then do bootloader unlock and use flashify to flash recovery then flash roms and enjoy.
Most marshmallow roms currently don't support verizon sim cards. since they use CDMA towers and all MM Roms ive seen are based off Global models (GSM). I guess there are ways to work around it, but they're labor intensive and still don't seem to work well/reliably. They also still have problems with the SMS/MMS and applying their provided patch on a Verizon phone causes bootloop .
I've tried Music of life, Darklord, and Darkwolf. all have some sort of problem. i'm went back to jasmine 6.1. I made a full backup using TWRP 2.8.7 before mucking around with the other roms. so i've been playing around with roms worry free. lol but IMHO there is yet to be one worth using as a daily driver.
CM13 unofficial works pretty well but it doesn't support S-pen and all those little fancy things.

CM13 is MM derived and works fine on Verizon. (I don't know about MVNOs that use Verizon's network - I'm an "ordinary" VZW subscriber). SMS/MMS/Calls, whatever. There are a few odds and ends (e.g. NFC) that aren't working, but the things that make it a phone - SMS/MMS/calls - all have been solid in my limited usage.

Yeah i liked cm13. It was working pretty good for me, i made a twrp recovery image so i could play with it here and there. Just no fancy touchwiz features like spen and multiwindow.
Also, On one of the s6 ported roms i could send sms and recieve sms but not mms. i was also able to get data connection. I like it the best but it still needs some polishing. I just flashed a stock deodexed lollipop rom, still taking it for a test spin to compare against jasmine 6.0. But so far i like it. If i can get more xposed modules working on this rom it may be my favorite so far. Im waiting on darkwolfs v3's release which is schedualed for this weekend .

Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Bootloader HAS been unlocked
I found a thread on here showing how to unlock the bootloader on the Verizon note 3 about a month ago however everyone is still saying its locked. I would love it if someone made a port of the s7 edge and note 5 android 6.0.1 for the Verizon note 3. But, I'm simply just about done wishing since nobody can seem to realize that the bootloader IS UNLOCKED .

In terms of 'current' the Note 3 is still great hardware... But it's coming up on 3 years old and in terms of technology... That's OLD.

I think it's this one: [Official] Note 3 Verizon Bootloader Unlock.
I've got a VzW Note 3 (SM-N900V) frozen at v4.4.2 using SafeStrap v3.75 (TWRP v2.7.1.0) The device and TWRP work great; I've made changes and roll backwards and forwards -- although I've only done one ROM upgrade, and that was to this specific version. BTW, Xposed and One Tap YouTube downloader now work again.
I like having a computer in my pocket but I want it to work -- phone, WiFi, BT, camera, pen, LTE, everything. Running a neat ROM where things don't function just doesn't work for me anymore.
(This, and I used to write firmware-level hard disk drivers.)
I've frozen ALL of my devices to 4.4.X -- because they all look and act exactly the same. I don't mind different apps on different devices, but they need to act the same. If I'd wanted to Think Different I'd have ibought an iApple.
Looking at v6 M to see if I can upgrade all of them.
I have tried almost every marshmallow rom made for note 3, i have a n900v and i have flashed all of this roms http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...x-roms-5-x-6-x-rooted-note-3-verizon-t3364341
I favor darklord rom right now I setup my phone slightly different then most do in build prop don't know if it made much of a difference but if don't have the issues most do lte sms calls etc work fine for me. I have an iPhone 6 plus also jailbroken/rooted yes I like to be different hate being another sheep like everyone else with the exact same phone lmao.

I just got my Pure and so far it's perfect. It's still on 5.1 and stock. Should I take the ota update or do it another way or just start? If I go to 6.0 can I go back to 5.1? I kinda want to at least have root but wish it didn't trip the bootloader flag.
I stay stock odexed and rooted because all of the deodexed Roms have produced unfixable lag for me. I am on the latest 6.0 with Feb security update and systemless rooted with frankenclark and performance is super snappy.
Are there any issues/bugs with the 6.0 update. I've read that it has been know to mess up devices

You should do some reading before moving forward.. I'm still 5.1 rooted stock and have been there since September. Not saying not to move forward. I am still questioning need for 6.0, possible storage issues, tibu backups, lag. I've been keeping abreast on threads but just not comfortable with some stuff I see people experiencing. But nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say.

I asked that very same question and never got a response. I've not SEEN any post making that statement. If you want to do anything you have to unlock it first. If you're worried about something like that then I'd suggest staying stock and accepting the OTA when you want. You can unlock BL, root, stay 5.1. There is a thread with that allows you to return to STOCK 5.1, but I'm not sure it works if you're on 6.0. Am I making any sense? I'm sure someone can explain it better than I.

Yes, you can go back to 5.1.1. I did it a few times. Even the bootloader will downgrade safely. That is from the original 6.0 update though. I haven't tried going back to 5.1.1 from the February security update. You can find full flashable firmware for all three versions. I would keep them handy.

You can unlock the bootloader and flash 5.1.1 firmware in its entirety from the 6.0 firmware, and it all goes fine. I just did it last week, and it was no different from the RAZR M; you may get a bootloader downgrade warning/failure but it seems to go through fine.

Unless you use Firefox for background music and Skype for voice calls, you should be fine. Some applications that download and play back audio are unusable when put into the background. Also, even though mileage may vary, be prepared for reduced battery life.
I just bought this phone and was excited, It's my first phone on a Snapdragon 808 and Android 6, but I have to admit it seems sluggish at times, and not as snappy as I though a flagship would be. It seems to be a software optimization issue to me.
I'n rooting it right now and following the instruction to set the display to run as 1080p.
I have had no sluggishness issues on stock unrooted. The only thing I hated (as with all androids) was the animations and transitions which made the phone seem slow to me. Changed in dev options to .5 made it perfect to me as I do get to enjoy the effects but at a speed that it's more bearable to my tastes

Same story here, I was able to (for giggles) lock my S4 Pro Droid Maxx to run at minimum CPU frequency (under 400 MHz) and it was perfectly usable, but with this phone, even having two LITTLE cores running at 1.4 GHz makes the phone crash from hanging too long. X Pure is not what I expected it to be performance wise and it makes me miss my Maxx.
When Nougat gets released for this phone in how ever long it takes do you think someone will eventually be able to root it on this phone?

You don't have to call him a douche. Honestly, I was thinking "Seriously?" as well because this is the first thing you think (rather, post of) before Nougat even comes out. We can't see the future, so this question will probably go without an indefinite answer. My input on it, though, is that root is possible if engboot still works, but if it doesn't then we're probably screwed. And I doubt engboot will work without having even MORE issues than it already does, if it even works at all.
But seriously, the name calling was unnecessary. You're the one asking the question, no need to call people names.

So rooted MM or non-related Nougat... that will be the question
Sent from my SM-T715Y using XDA-Developers mobile app
I don't understand the reasoning behind the question. Nougat isn't even out yet. If you want root, then root your phone. If you want rooted Nougat, wait a couple days after release for someone to build a rooted ROM on it. Why would you want to flash back to stock just to root again instead of just flashing the rooted version from the beginning? I'm assuming that's why you got the "seriously?" reactions. Well, that and the fact that since Nougat hasn't even been released yet, so it's physically impossibly for anyone to know if it can be rooted. But yeah, I'd advise you to wait until someone uploads a rooted Nougat ROM for your phone instead if flashing back to stock and hoping to root that way. Its a million times easier to root it before putting it on your device
Based upon my understanding of how KNOX operates along with the stricter changes made to dm-verity in 7.0, I wouldn't hold my breath when it comes to rooting the S7. I know that the guys that come up with these rooting methods are very creative and smart, but KNOX, combined with SELinux, dm-verity, and locked bootloaders, is almost impossible to overcome. I've been looking at the people discussing the dirtyc0w exploit as an alternative root method, and I don't think it's possible to use it because of these safeguards.
We were extremely lucky with the leaked engboot method of rooting the S7. Without that, it's very possible that we still wouldn't have root on it.
Just a bit of addition to this conversation: It's likely our current root method won't work on Nougat. It depends on how different the kernels are, but since the engboot is built for MM there's no guarantee it's compatible with a new version. There's no guarantee it won't prevent flashing the engboot kernel once you're on it, and flashing a rooted system and then switching kernels won't help since the new kernel will verify the system.
I just really hope that we can get SuperSU on Nougat now that It has began to roll out today on my AT&T Galaxy S7. I've captured the ota update for it but someone else has already posted them on the forums so I won't waste my time. Despite how beautiful Nougat looks, I'm gonna wait and stick with MM. Why? Root. I'm almost certain that once you've updated to Nougat, it won't let you flash back to MM because of the locked bootloader, and for me personally, I want to keep root so bad because of the Viper4Android equalizer. The thing gives great sound quality and music wouldn't be the same without it. Honestly, If you really wanted to keep root then my advice is to stick with MM and wait (as long as it may take) for a working root method to come out for this new update.
Cheers!

Which V4A version are you using. I can't find one that works with my phone. I'm on APK1 stock rooted.

I simply downloaded and am currently using the latest update from the developers website. Be sure to download the latest version of the app listed under "Viper4Android FX" and make sure BusyBox is properly installed on your device under /system/xbin or /system/bin. I was previously on APJ4 and just upgraded to APK1 today and haven't noticed any problems.

I have a verizon edge model sm-g935v....build # g9325vvru4ap13.
I see everyone talking about the 935u firmware. Is an update for my "V" or is it firmware for another edge model (and i shouldn't be concerned about it)?
935v is the Verizon version and the 935u is the unlocked version.
935v comes with all the bloat ware from stock Verizon, while the 935u comes with no bloat but you might have to do some configurations (apn,mms,etc...) for it to work with Verizon.
Hope that helps ya.
Ps: installing 935u won't unlock your phone (sadly)

Many thanks! I see now....just one more question:
I now have:
model # - SM-G935V
Android verzion - 6.0.1
baseband version - G935VVRU4AP13
build # - MMB29M.G935VVRU4AP13
I've accepted the OTA update when I got my phone last week.
So i assume I need to use this root guide...Verizon Root Guide (Knox still good)Verizon Root Guide (Knox still good).....http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/verizon-root-knox-t3410624?
instead of using this one......
{GUIDE} Flashing the SM-935U firmware onto your Verizon S7 Edge and Rooting
http://forum.xda-developers.com/veri...1#post67674771
I can also flash the U firmware sometime in the future once i've rooted the V firmware?
you can flash either and root both. I have the same phone as you with same base band ect. I first tried the root method for the 935v and had bad battery issues so i switched and flashed the 935u and ran it stock for 3 weeks with no changes and had no issues loved the no Verizon crap, the phone ran nice. I just rooted the 935u today using stang5litre edition 5.0 ver2 and so far it is running smooth with no issues. testing out the battery life now. It is up to you what you want to flash. they both do the same thing as far as root. however I had lot of issues with the basic root 935v... I like the stang5litre v2 its all set up and don't have to tweak anything.... so far...
I would stay away from the "U" firmware until you familiarize with the terms and root.
And well in theory both of the guides are good to follow, since the only thing you are doing is flashing the eng-kernel.
Now before you go on, what's the purpose of you rooting?
Flashing another Rom?
Have stock, but modified Rom?

flashing another rom to get the additional benefits.
btw....i've rooted my last 4 galaxy phones, so i'm familiar with the terms, etc. it's just that this rooting is different than the past techniques. thanks for your help.

Thanks a ton, Justin.ice!
I see that we no longer have TWRP. HOw do i make a nandroid backup?
Also, is there a way to backup the app installs i've done while my phone is stock? then, once i get root/install rom, I can just restore them?

Sadly no Nandroid Backups but, once rooted you can use titanium backup for the backing then again for restoring once in the new rom.
Im using titanium for my backup and my google account has my apps as well if I have to go back to stock.
Are there any performance benefits to the u vs. V version??

OK. That is what I thought. Thanks.
Is the diagnostic mode is available on the U firmware?
###366633# or ##3424#?
Could someone please try..

No real way to do a nandroid backup. You can backup all your partitions with FlashFire, but the problem is if you brick your phone you can't get to FlashFire to do a restore.

In theory the U version should be slightly more snappy since it comes without the bloat and therefore unnecessary running processes, but Android's baked-in OOM handling is fine and the bloat has minimal impact if any. I've seen some people say they've had less root-related problems with the U, but otherwise there's not much of a difference.

So you flashed the U firmware following the guide posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...de-flashing-sm-935u-firmware-verizon-t3415145
Then you flashes stang5litre and all was good for you?
I want to do the same to my phone once it comes in the mail I just want to be sure. I also plan on using it on Cricket so I hope that works too.

Yep, everything went good and installed on first try. I played around with colors and apps...the link issue I had I think was with the xda app. Other then that. The battery was almost stock. System ran nice with no lagging.

Awesome. You give me hope lol. I don't suppose you know if the U firmware unlocks all the LTE bands so I have flawless connectivity with Cricket would you? Also after you flash Stang5litre did you still have fully working root? Cheers mate

Not sure on the band's, I think I seen something about it that it had all the bands... as for root with stang5litre yes it has root and everything is baked in the rom.

Beautiful. Thanks for your replies mate. You give me hope with this phone lol. I had a Sprint S7 Edge that I traded off of Craiglist and it was a NIGHTMARE to unlock it not to mention there is no dev support for it.
Sold it and got a sweet deal on a brand new Verizon S7 Edge. I sure hope all goes well with flashing.

You gonna be developing for the s7e?? I'm familiar with some of your roms been a few yours, maybe on a moto??? Anyways, hope you're doing something for this....
Been trying to get root access with various videos to no avail, guess the new updates made those not working.
Already soft-bricked my device once within 30 minutes of having it LOL.
But anyways, she's running fine again just don't really care for the stock rom so much..
I thought someone had the S9 rom working well on these? Maybe not the Verizon version??
Any help would be much appreciated, tons of outdated threads on here..
if someone could just give me the current low-down on what the situation is!
I'll be in the same boat soon. Did you get your phone brand new? What firmware did your phone come with?

I'll help if you're trying to get root. Are you guys on marshmallow, nougat or lollipop?
If you don't want to root there is a leaked version of Oreo that runs pretty smooth. there is a couple guides on how to install it throughout the s7 forums.

Just installed Oreo on my G930V yesterday and I have to second this. Oreo is running AMAZING on my phone. Super fast and little to no bugs.
