I don't want to Deodex and/or use Xposed for now, just root is good for me. Deleted the unwanted games that came in stock, disabled the SecurityLogAgent, Knox and ANT, installed DroidWall, thats it for me.

Yeah, I've tried with FD variant as I writed in the Thread Title. On official site doesn't even have any of A Series models listed on suported devices, so it's a shot in the dark. :fingers-crossed:
I just got tired of those crap bloatware and games, and decided to give a try, and "voilà", I got lucky. :victory:

Say thanks to the chineses guys who created the KingRoot! I'm just spreading the happiness :highfive: but thank you btw :good:
After root you will keep getting a Notification saying "SE for Android has been disabled..." and asking for restart the device, to get rid of this message disable SecurityLogAgent (doesn't Uninstall, just Disable) GG

I recently rooted and want to install custom ROMs, meaning I need to flash a Custom recovery, meaning I need to unlock my bootloader.
How do I go about doing this?

So even in the international versions the bootloader cannot be unlocked? I thought it was only the US versions where the bootloaders would be locked down.
Can custom ROMs not be flashed through ODIN? I really just want to get away from TouchWiz.
Edit: Am I correct in assuming that you dont get OTA updates while rooted? If so how would it be possible to update the OS if I cannot flash ROMs?
Are you on the enxyos version?

We wouldn't know for sure. You have a different processor and different firmware to include an unlockable firmware.
You're posting in a SPRINT forum where almost all members don't have an unlockable bootloader therefor don't have any experience achieving what you're seeking.
Thus, you'd be better off posting your inquiry in a thread for your device, not ours.
But your bootloader should already be unlocked.
Just flash the TWRP recovery just like you did when you rooted. Shouldn't be that difficult.
Does this means that "Link2SD" can't be fully used on S7 (G935F)?
because I get the infamous "/data/sdext2 mount not found" error and for what i have googled, is because of a protected /system folder...
Am i right?

You cant... and the V4 bootloader prevents you from going back to rootable firmware. Sorry... unless a new roit method is discovered, your **** out of luck

But will Odin go back to older firmware? Or are you stuck on PH1 bootloader? Thx for confirmation.
Probably stuck, but you should still be able go between the latest U and V firmwares. I am giving up on a non engboot root method. Sammy signed that kernel so it should always flash and permit root. But, that's not a well educated guess...

You can't. The only reason we can is because we have a leaked engineering kernel that allows root. Sadly Verizon killed root on the S6 about a year ago.

Hello, I just tried rooting my verizon s7 edge on the ph1 update using the link someone on this thread provided to someone else and am now stuck in a bootloop with the verizon logo stuck on the screen. How did you achieve root on yours? by using the same steps? Also, what do you think could have possibly went wrong and how would I be able to fix this? Your help would be much appreciated.

If you're stuck on the boot logo, you HAVE TO factory reset the device. When I rooted this happened to me and after doing the factory reset, it worked like a charm

Oh wow.... haha thank you. I was really trying to avoid doing the factory reset but I figured since I will be doing a clean install anyways then why not. lol So it worked the second time you tried to root?

When I was stuck, I did and the factory reset and it booted up right and I didn't have to re-flash the kernel. If dosen't boot up right away, re-flash stock firmware, don't dis able anything, then flash the kernel and it will work .

Oh ok, well hopefully it boots right up. lol So I really haven't been into rooting and flashing roms for awhile now so Id thought I give it a try on this phone. What would you say would be best for performance/stability/battery life as far as roms go? Or do you just stick with stock? i do not do a whole lot on my phone and I also don't really use much of the features that came along with the s7 edge. i just use it for light gaming/social media/picture taking. So I guess what I am asking is what is your recommendation?
Stock firmware ... if you are having issues with your device or just simply want to return back to stock!

I think he just meant if you want to have the phone reset to how it came out of the box. There is no root available yet.
what is that user data file never saw that before in firmware package
So is it true that you cant cross carrier flash the firmware like the S7? Supposedly samsung blocks it or odin is outdated?

Yes download Samsung smart switch to your pc and then down load the latest firmware. Once downloaded flash with odin but do not use the home csc.
