American locked bootloader hide root issues - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

hope i am not violating any forum rules here, as i know how strict they can be. I am not a noob in this area, ive rooted and flashed all my phones since my droid x on. I miss my s-off HTC so bad. I did 5 minutes of research and thought all Galaxy S7s were bootloader/recovery unlockable...only to find out the american versions arent after im stuck with s Sprint SM-G930P. I was able to root and install xposed with the engineer boot.img and odin. Since TWRP or recovery isnt an option I have tried for months to systemless root this thing to hide root and pass safetynet. Ive tried flashfire to flash SU systemless 2.78SR5 and root switch and am on android 6.0.1 PE1 firmware following guides here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s7/how-to/sm-g930p-root-t3410604 but after factory reseting and trying Rootswitch (will hide exposed but not root with flashfire installing it since bootloader lock doesnt allow TWRP) I piddled with magisk but I am not on the Equinox unlockable s7 and am just at a loss here. Any one out there know of a way to hide root with this version of S7? Im out of ideas and any help here is appreciated. When i flashfire Supersu i get the locked out modified boot img error, but selecting AP and flashing the engineer boot img will get me back up rooted but root switch is a no go. I can use buildprop/rootzwitch to set selinux permissive sstatus but still fail. I refuse to let samsung not let me root my phone properly. I ser xposed modules like snorlax being updated so there seems to be a way to use xposed modules in PoGo while hiding root/xpised but every guide i see leads to TWRP instructions. Can i adb/terminal install magisk/rootswitch? and stiil use modules? (Cart before the horse question seeing as right now i cant bypass safetynet.) HELP!!

Have you made any more progress with this by chance?

Systemless -> Traditional Root

Hey,
I'm trying to make Secure Settings work but I think the app is not compatible with systemless root (if this is not true, tell me please). I went with systemless root at first because it was the latest and what everyone was talking about but, tbf, Android Pay is not even available where I live so I see no point on staying with systemless.
I'm on Cataclysm and ElementalX. What's the best way to go from systemless root to system root?
Thanks
Sorry for reviving an old post - but same here. I flashed the latest SuperSU zip without knowing it was systemless.
I believe you can unroot usign SuperSU and then flash an earlier version of the SuperSU zip that works with Marshmallow.

Doing a system-less root on s4 using magisk possible?

alright im thinking of doing system-less root with xposed using magisk (yes im a pokemon goer thats ticked off from its new update) just wanting to know what would be the best way to go about this. If it is possible. currently im running GoldenEYE rom android 5.0.1 dont have fastboot so i already know i have alot of work in Odin to do. would love to have CM12.1 running with a systemless root but last time i tried to even get CM12.1 loaded it never worked.
So anyidea if this is possible or not. (yes i do have stock roms at the ready from when i put on my current rom along with root methods)
You don't have to do anything in Odin.
All you need is TWRP.
Then follow the Magisk instructions.
Unroot, uninstall Xposed (if present), flash Magisk zip, flash phh root zip, download phh superuser app and Magisk manager app.
well that sucked. now have the dreaded unauthorized soft ware. found a way around it to get phone booted. going into download mode then cancel out restarting phone from there.
So I tried this exact thing two days ago because I have an S4 with the Goldeneye rom installed, and unfortunately got these results
I opened up superSU and did a full unroot, after
I deleted the xposed that was installed (v86 by dlc) using the uninstaller through TWRP.
Next I flashed magisk v6 zip along with the phh superuser zip, and ended up in a bootloop..
The phone wouldnt pass the boot animation, so i uninstalled magisk, and reflashed superSU
On my end its not working, mate.

As far as I know, systemless stuff works only on Android 6 and above.
Goldeneye is a TouchWiz ROM, therefor it's android 5.
Magisk works on Touchwiz 5.0
Magisk works on android 5.0 touchwiz. Im using lenny bard stock HPG1 rom and PoGo works perfectly
Sure you can do it. i have gt-i9500 variant with 5.1.1 port tw android. magisk work when i want to play pokemon go. the only problem i have now is the systemless xposed not working as expected.
I am under the impression I am not able to get TWRP on mine because its the later version with locked bootloader.. what options are there.. Currently Download Graded to 4.4.4 to use towel root and installed Flashfire so i can install Safestrap
Really want to use Magisk

I know this is pretty old but just a headsup if you have the latest bootloader that is locked you can just download firmware for your region with an older bootloader and flash the entire thing with odin. I had the locked bootloader issue and odin fixed it.

Ok so you extracted an older bootloader and swapped it out?

Magisk, SuHide & Others.. What Works, what doesn't?

Hello!
Now after Google seems to be tweaking the hell out of its Safetynet (bootloader check and whatever) I was wondered where this will lead us to. Especially since our devices, at least the Exynos ones come with an unlocked bootloader..
I tried a dozen of combinations from the above named tools without any success, as my mobile banking app seem to rely on that crap now too since it's latest update (I can live without Pokemon go ) it got me all little worried.
What are your experiences, how did you lock out Safetynet, do you guys ignore it? So many questions regarding that topic. Feel free to leave any comment.. :good:
From what I understand all s7 come with bootloader locked by default but on exynos variant, it's unlockable with a "OEM Unlock" toggle in developer option. So normal user who don't root or modified the phone don't affect by new safetynet.
So if you don't need root, you can turn off OEM Unlock and flash back stock rom. But if you need root, there's no known method for now to bypass safetynet.

I've heard they can now detect and block Custom Recovery. I don't think it's true.
I tried that Again now, using Hydra Kernel 1.7.1 without that modified Boot stuff. Removed SuperSu and Xposed, flashed the new Root Free Kernel and safetynet i's Not Flagged. The Main Problem for me (and many others) ist, that the Phone wont Boot after installing SuHide 0.5x! I've used the Not Flagged System as testbase, TWRP doesnt Alter it in any Way, but once i install either Magisk v8 or SuperSu 1.78R1 it gets Flagged Again.. So without SuHide, which doesnt Boot the Phone at All its worthless..

Does Magisk work to root the 935V (Verizon S7 Edge)

Hi All,
Does anyone know if Magisk would work to root the 935V?
See this link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Wrong section bud, This is for development. You want to post in Q&A
You can use it in place of supersu, as a manager but thats all.. as far as I know.
No, magisk modifies the boot.img and will cause dm-verity to fail.

Dm-verity is off once we flash the engboot.img anyway..
So that wont matter. He can use magisk but he won't be able to use all the features magisk bring to the table. It'll be just like supersu.. Just a root manager
I have tried installing it, dont do it you will end up with a soft brick, and you will have to flash back to the official sofware through odin

No we can't since it's a systemless root that modifys the kernel and have locked bootloaders.....so in other words the US Variants don't get to have nice things ☹

SM-G5520 Nougat Not Flashing GApps with Flashfire after rooting with magisk, Help me

I Have SM-G5520 Nougat, I rooted it successfully here
Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...g5520-g5520zcu1brb1-nougat-root-twrp-t3772104
But, as mentioned there, I run Flashfire, Grant root access, Browse for GApps.zip and flash it, but after click on flash screen goes black and didn't show any proccess of flashing GApps.
After waiting 2 - 4 Hours, There was still a black screen like my phone is off and I restart my phone. Now there is not a single GApp installed there. Please help me to flash GApps.
I continue my research on rooting and flashing and i got some points that are below,
1. Magisk is system-less root that's why when ever i tried any app to modify system folder or root directory my phone got restart.
2. I tried SuperSU system-less but the device isn't going to root.
3. I tried King Root, Kingoapp, OneClickRoot, Dr. Phone root, iRoot and much more with and without PC but my device was not going to root but only Magisk root my device.
4. I tried CFAuto Root with all modifications but due to my phone didn't have "OEM Unlock" option, flashing CF Root cause failure.
5. I tried to push GApps into Original Firmware, but that way takes a lot time and i failed there because of security reasons (And that was my first attempt to modify "Firmware" I must failed ).
All the conclusion of my work let me know that i have to root my SM-G5520 Nougat as system root that will going to work 100% to flash GApps.
Now Please help me to root system wise and flashing GApps.
Thanks Advance
plz contact Gsm helper team
