Same boat here..

Nope you cannot root. You need to be on a December security patch or earlier. The newer firmwares patched the dirtycow exploit. And since you are on the Sprint variant, you have no kdz available to downgrade. Unfortunately you are stuck for the time being.

We're not using a vulnerability to root, we're using a leaked file signed by Samsung. No vulnerability needed! And there are always some exploits just haven't found them yet. If it was made by man it can be cracked by man its just a matter of will, time and knowledge.

August Security Patch?

I'm on PH7 as of know and have the September security update. Has the August update rolled out yet for Sprint S7's.
Apparently it adds vulkan API support.
I thought it had. How would a lay person know?

Settings, about info, security patch version
The only reason I want to know is because dolphin emulator supports vulkan, and it's included in the August security update, which for me, I don't have yet.
I have the latest updates
