I just bought the phone and I am now on nougat. I tried looking for a simple root process without unlocking the bootloader on nougat but its simply overwhelming what works and what does not work. If anybody has a simple process on just rooting the device without unlocking I would appreciate it. Thank You

Did you read the root without unlock thread?
No, it can't be done on N or any worthwhile version of 6.0.1.
I did read through that thread and there were so many different versions it looks like it was hit and miss for most people. So there is a root possiblity for nougat right now is that correct. Thanks
You can root after unlocking.
Ok last question
Ok last question can you give me the link so I can root without unlocking the bootloader. I appreciate your help. Thanks

I thought it would be easy to find an answer to this question... but I haven't been able to find my specific situation.
I'm wondering if it is okay to take the 6.0.1 update? Everything is still stock except the only thing I have done is unlock the bootloader. I know you would normally not want to, but I wasn't sure if the bootloader is impacted or affects any system updates.
Thanks
Go for it, you'll be fine . Nothing system related has been modified.

Thanks both for the replies. Your guide is awesome, so thank you! I assumed most people would go all the way, so most people wouldn't be in my situation. I just wanted to do some research first before I decide what direction I want to go. I've been out of the game for a couple years due to locked down Samsung Notes. CM looks like a good option as it appears you can install updates without having to flash each time? Anyway, thanks again for the help!
Hey,
I have two questions about the Axon7 and rooting in general.
First is, if there is a possibility to root the Axon7 without an unlocked bootloader. Just need the root for some Apps (e.g. adaway).
The second is: if there is a possibility to root the Axon, will OTA Updates work or how do I get updates?
Thanks for your help.

Nobody Knows and Nobody Knows, in that order. Really, there's a gazillion threads about this already.
I look for others threads and did not find one about this topic. They all discuss about bootloader. As far as I understood, bootloader is needed for CustomRom? I just need simple root.
And i also did not find a thread about root and OTA. If you can post me links to these topics please? If I can find my answers anywhere else, this can be closed. Thank youf

Well, you were able root without unlocked bootloader if there's a software exploit back in the day but those are very rare these day.
Lg GA was able to be rooted without an unlocked bootloader. Was even able to get a few roms loaded using an exploit.

Exploits that give you full, permanent root are becoming harder to achieve in recent Android versions.
I know that for the zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) there was untethered twrp, this was then used to flash SuperSU to the device granting root access BUT that was when it was released with Android 5.0 Lollipop...
Hopefully this can carried over to Marshmallow for the Zenfone 3, it might give us some hope too...
Depends how many Devs actually get this device....

Darn companies not wanting us to screw around with our devices! Lol I can see why they don't want us to in a way. I just want more customized options.
I'm sure there's been many posts on how to root this device before. But my S5 is AT&T, and just received the Marshmallow update last week. Not to mention the last samsung I had attempted to root (S4, 4.4.1 kitkat) didn't end too well.
Can anyone give me links to forums OR if you know how to root my device, care to help me?

You'll not get root access on that s5 active if it's on marshmallow due to the bootloader being locked. I have one and the only reason I have root on it is because I still have the OC5 bootloader on it so it will forever be on TMS5. Sorry buddy.

So we're fresh out of luck?
No other options?
Can't unlock the locked bootloader?
Can't downgrade?
Just got to take it. Well f.....
Thanks
I hear I had root options. I'm getting this phone in 2 days from Amazon. I'm searching through forums now. Anyone have anything to add here? Any info would n appreciated.

I do believe they have a way to downgrade back to lollipop now and get root access on lollipop but you will need to check your build version/number and see if it matches the one in their instructions. Here's one for s5active which is what I have but I don't see the one for s5. On another note my g870 build has been g900 for as long as I've had it.

Hi community,
Not sure if this goes against TOS of the forum or if this is even the correct forum to be posting this question in. What is preventing a root from being created for 6.0.1? What would help get a root created for this phone?
I am willing to pay someone to create a working root method; whether it be public or just for me. I have an adequate number of phones to help develop a root. Applicants must be a trusted member of the community with a high reputation.
Please no flame comments. Only serious responses.
Thanks,
Andrew
root on marshmellow requires a unlocked bootloader (this applies to ANY marshmellow device )
if you have a CID15 device you can flash back to PB1 unlock the bootloader and then flash whatever 6.01 rooted rom you want
if you have a a CID11 device with a non-unlockable boot-loader you are SOL its impossible to root marshmallow with dm-verity enabled and there is no way around that
dm-verity cryptographicly checks the block map of the /system partition if there is so much as a text file out of place it won't boot

Thanks for the response. It was very informative. I'll check which chipset I have on the phones. Hopefully there are some that are downgradable.
Not sure if my terminology is correct but does samsung offer an option to register the device as unlocked? Similar to how HTC offers an option to unlock it? Where they send you the unlock key or something.

no the only bootloader unlock we have is for s5's with samsung flash memory aka CID15 devices
you can check which you have with this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.vinagre.android.emmc_check&hl=en
first two numbers if its a 15 you are good follow the root and unlock threads if its a 11 nope you are sol

Yeah, I checked a handful of my phones and 2 of the 5 were CID 15. I was successfully able to downgrade to 5.0 and root. Using an app to check every phone is very annoying since I have to sideload the apk and launch which takes too long. Do you know of anyway using ADB that I could determine the eMMc chipset?
I spoke with Samsung for a possible solution that is equivalent to a root and they suggested Nox Console. Where I can remove bloatware and disable certain features of the phone for $3ea. Which is alright for locking down the device but apps that require root to accomplish what I need... So not much help there.
In your opinion, what are the chances someone creates a root for CID 11? Impossible?

if you searched the forum before asking any of this you would know the answer to that No not gonna happen extensive research was done it s impossible with the current method we have
for locked devices if you simply wanna turn apps off or block ota's I recommend this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpro&hl=en
cat /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/cid
will return the cid from a shell
CID11's can be downgraded to 5.01 and then you can get root but NOT marshmallow and higher
oncid 15 devices you can unlock the bootloader https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...t/rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909
and flash a rooted marshmallow rom if you already have root you can skip right to method 2

That emmc command worked perfectly!
I don't load any custom roms so only getting root on stock 5.0 is exactly what I want. I was unaware CID11 was downgradable, the other post were a tad confusing in regards to the CIDs. I guess it was the terminology that I did not understand.
Thank you for the help!

Then your bootloader remains unlocked. Root with the tool of your choice; most favor Magisk. Also pay attention to format of data partition (ext4 or f2fs) and encryption status. Both are considerations when rooting systemlessly.

No - because if you're asking then you likely don't have the skills/experience to get yourself out of trouble if something goes wrong. And it likely will with this device. Suggest you consult rooting threads in the G4P help section along with those for the Moto E4 which is similar and came with Nougat 7.1.1. I have one of those; not the easiest pup to root. Boot looped twice before I got things sorted. Been doing this a long time, did my homework and still ran into issues.
Unrooted Nougat isn't horrible. Enjoy your *working* device while figuring out if/how to root it. Waiting for a guide specific to this device might be your best bet.
Can anyone help me with no network issue? Just updated to 7..1.1 but no network. Help pls
