New to Rooting, requesting assistance with the S7 Edge - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hey, I'm pretty new to rooting but I've recently purchased a Verizon G935V Galaxy S7 Edge running the latest Nougat version and I've spent the past day attempting to figure out how to root this thing correctly, with my version of the s7 edge and nougat. I don't usually feel the need to make any posts requesting assistance because usually with enough googling I can figure it out myself, but I've given up. Please guide me in the right path to get this thing rooted, I can't seem to find any recent videos or forum post with the correct versions I'm looking for.

Verizon hasn't released Android 7 to the S7/S7 Edge yet.
There hasn't been any official word from Verizon on when they plan on releasing Android 7, but search for any information about it, a lot of different sites seem to think it's going to be sometime in March.
As for the root / unroot question, if KNOX was tripped during the rooting process, you may not be able to install the OTA update.
You might be able too using different software, which you should be able to find by searching the forum.
A handy tool to check of the CSC and KNOX were tripped or now, install the.

If it comes back saying Warranty Valid, then you should be able to install 7 no problem.
If it comes back saying Warranty Invalid, then you will probably need to wait until it's available for manual download.

That's great. The 935t is T-mobile. We have the 935v, which is Verizon. Which is what he was asking about.

Rooting a variant of the S7 Edge.

so ive been away from rooting for a few years now. so i deeply apologize if this is a noob question. I recently acquired a S7 Edge from a friend of mine. The Model is SM-GT935U. Which brings me to a couple questions. To root it is there a specific guide i can fine to do it or is it the same as the GT9350? I tried to look into the model number but all i came across was just?
There are a number of root methods for the S7 Edge, and you'll likely find that a number are generic enough for you to use for your phone. Each method seems to have some successes, and some not, by what I have read.
Just do a search on google for root (your model), and you'll pull up pages of possibilities. Look for the most recent.

You might get a quicker response by providing more specific information. You'll need to give phone model information (G930F? G930W8? G930VZ? Exynos? Snapdragon? etc.). Once you have that figured out then a Google search might even be more productive.

Rooting Galaxy S8 SM-G950W (Canadian S8 with Telus)

Hi everyone,
I'm looking to root my old S8 that's just been lying around. I haven't rooted a phone since the S4 mini and before that the HTC Evo 3D, so I'm a bit rusty.
I found a thread about the G950W and rooting it, but it now claims to be discontinued. The new thread that was linked only indicates that it's for the G960U.
I also wanted to mention that it has Android 8.0, and I feel like I recall seeing something that said only 7.0 can be rooted? Has this changed? Maybe I didn't look hard enough?
I believe my phone has a Snapdragon processor and I don't recall seeing OEM Unlock under the developer options.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

No oem unlock. Still root 7.0 only. Look up extreme syndicate thread and you can root 7.0 from there
So since my S8 has Android 8.0 I'm out of luck then? After looking through the thread I didn't see any mention of G950W or rolling back Android 8.0 to 7.0.
I updated my S8 SM-G950W to android 9 and all the threads I find in forums say android 7 is required/or OEM unlock is required/OR bootloader must be unlocked. I haven't found one starting from android 9 with the Canadian variant with the bootloader locked. Any thoughts on what to do from here?
