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.

Which model do you have? If Towel root doesn`t work there is only CF Auto Root atm, look here for the correct file http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/. This does trip KNOX though.

I tried to root SM-G900F international version using "1337 0 1 7380 4 0" - just hanged and didn't work though. Not comfy rooting tripping the knox so will probably leave it!
I just got the 900V (Verizon) update which caused me to lose root. I tried towelroot v3 (with the "new samsung" settings) and still says phone not supported. Anybody with a verizon phone and the new update gotten their phone to root again? If so, can you post the settings you ended up entering after clickk=ing 3 times on the welcome to towelroot v3 text?

Try to downgrade to an earlier rom with Odin and Towelroot should work again or look in the S5 Verizon forum for more tips.

I have the same issue, but how would one go about finding the launch kernel for the S5?
EDIT: spent some more time digging around on the web and I found that sammobile has all the S5 firmware you need to reflash back to stock April version.

Try going to the general Verizon thread for the S5. There are a number of posts regarding rooting your S5 (or re-rooting): http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general

Not if you untick auto reboot in Odin, so after the flash pull the battery and you wait 15 seconds and boot into recovery and data factory reset and reboot. Did it myself mate from NG2 to NE2
Can somebody tell me, does stay official version firmware on Phone info window and on stock CWM window (knox counter 0x0) after root with towelroot ?
Thanks forwarding on answer.

This is because your phone isn't supported by TowelRoot yet as it is a new device. But don't worry, you can definitely try the CF Auto Root.

samsung and towelroot
Hey, I'm a relatively new android user, and I'm dying to root my Samsung S5 SM G900F, but it's proving to be harder than I expected.
I tried the towelroot application but it says that my phone is not supported, even though others have seemed to do this easily. Any suggestions? I use a Mac Computer as well, which doesn't make it any easier....

I am having the same trouble with my s5 att version. it wont root even with the modstrings

Here is my info:

I'm also trying to figure this out. I have seen posts claiming it's possible, but I can't even upgrade my same device from 4.4.1 to 5.1.1 how did you do it?
I think the bootloader gets locked once you upgrade to LP with AT&T S5s

Just learned this the hard way. Spent my entire day activating my service, flashing my firmware to get root... then in two minutes effed myself over by permanently removing root access with 5.1.1 great.
Take a look at this guys.... It's root for all variants on all the carriers! Pretty exciting even though the bootloader may not be unlocked!

Verified working on my VZW S7 Edge.
Sweet! Just a few questions?
1. This does trip Knox right?
2. Can we downgrade firmwares through odin? Samsung did not block downgrade?

1: Dont think so.
2: You can use this on the current update. You are not downgrading firmware. Just kernel.
I am rooted on Verizon S7. It runs a little warm and uses a bit more battery. I am most likely going to flash back to stock shortly. Does anyone know if I can use just the available firmware? Also do I have to use the custom ODIN that was used to flash the root or will the normal one do?
has anyone took a chance at this on the SM-G935J Japanese Variant??
Has anybody tried this on the Japanese SM-G935J Snapdragon Variant? I'm curious... would it work?

You have to use the kernel provided. It is a rooted engineer kernel. This is what allows root.
Any other japanese users try this?

Hi. Using a CID11 device w/ KINGROOT/SAFESTRAP
I know the bootloader is locked and all, but will I still be able to use CyanogenMod 13 ?
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=kltevzw
I know this is a noob question as the S5 is pretty locked down now 'geocold' is helping the enemy, but is it still at all possible to use CM13 with this safe strap option on a CID11 device.
also is there any other ROMs I could use that are similar with any kind of custom kernel that helps preserve battery life like in the past or is that a no now since the bootloader is locked.
lastly will I loose root if I can do any of the above.
....
very new to the S5 please bare with me lol

You shouldn't lose any data but a backup is always wise
According to the thread you have to be on rooted PB1 firmware and use safestrap
The guide is specific so follow his guide exactly
I would do a back up in Samsung Smart Switch or Samsung kies 3 before you use or use safestrap backup whatever you prefer

Oh ok, yeah since I'm on OK3 will I need to do the whole KingRoot method again? or if I flash to PB1 from ODIN will I still keep root/safestrap/bb not sure how this all works just started using the S5 today.
Also once that is all done, and I'm on a rooted PB1 ... I'll be able to flash threw safestrap to a MM 6.0.1 ROM ? but when I do this wont I loose root? and I thought root not able to be obtained on MM 6.0.1 with CID11 devices? this is where it gets to be confusing for me, sorry for all the questions

Yes I can not use android with out root lol, but thanks for showing me all this anyways its progress I guess, not sure if this handset was worth the money now knowing all this, but I'll stick with it.
I see no point in even bothering to run CM13 or any custom rom really with out the use of root. ehhhh anyway. Backing up my apk/data using a snazzy lil app called MyBackup Pro. for the migration.
Thanks for the help. Looks like I'll be staying on the 5.0 OK3 rom then since at least I have it rooted, and some kind of recovery even tho the whole safestrap touchwiz thing is not pleasing its better than nothing.
What custom ROM can I install and what guide or flash tool do I use? I have tried many with a bricked s7 edge I have and no luck. Just would like a nice ROM like RR or Ironman to install and a guide to doing it so I'm not doing something wrong

The snapdragon versions of the s7 edge have locked bootloaders preventing them from getting custom recovery preventing them from flashing custom roms.
The only unlocked snapdragon s7 edge is the Chinese version.
9350.
Meaning only the 9350 can use custom roms in the snapdragon section of the forums.
The rest of the users are using exynos processor phones.
If your phone is bricked use samsung smart switch to restore it to stock.

You can root on Oreo now, no custom ROMs because the bootloader will never be unlocked.
