So, my A1 should come later this day and I want to know if I should root it or not. I want to install Google camera but I need to root my phone to enable the Camera2 API, or is a way to do it without rooting?
Can someone give me a link on how to root the octomber update and keep getting OTAs?

Latest update..... has anyone installed the Verizon update being pushed out? Does it cause you to lose root?
Might want to search next time. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513559
Hi all,
I installed sunshine app on my HTC m9+ supreme camera edition, but I can't proceed because I need to root my phone. The only things that I want to do is change my cid from Hong Kong to Taiwan to get the Android 6 update. The app is not able to temproot my phone, is there any chance to do it? I don't want the permanent root.
Of there are some custom rom for my device I can think about keep the root, but if not I don't think that make sense.
Please me know.
Thanks om advance.

Be patient!! It will be rolled out to Hong Kong finally.
If you still decided to s-off, you didn't need to get root privilege by yourself.

SunShine runs as the root user, root applications can add or remove permissions on the fly without user permission.

Do you know when it will be roll-out?
So Nougat has been released for AT&T Users. I realize that Root for Nougat has not been achieved yet, but I want to get the ball rolling and start a discussion on the topic.
I'm assuming the engineering kernel root won't work on nougat, so we are once again without root. Has any development begun on root? I know there is pretty much no chance unlocking the bootloaders, but how long do you think it will be before we can get root? A month? maybe two? Do we know who is working on it?

It's doubtful that anyone is working on root. The engineering kernel was a lucky break for us on MM, but for Nougat we most likely won't see root unless someone unlocks the bootloader. Google has been increasing the security of Android with each update, so exploits are getting harder to find. Even if we do get the su binary in place, dm-verity will stop us from booting, and disabling dm-verity seems to require a kernel modification which the locked bootloader doesn't allow. I'm sure people are interested in unlocking the bootloader of our phone, but considering the history of Samsung devices and bootloaders, that chance doesn't look great. Maybe somebody ought to start searching for a new engineering kernel... it'd be a better leak than some blurry device pictures
Or if you got your hand on the international version, it seem that the international version is still rootable.
I really new to the Samsung dev scene so please forgive any ignorance.
Is this what you're looking for? It seems to claim root on the G930A on Nougat.

Don't use it if your chipset is not Snapdragon.
THIS IS NOT FOR THE EXYNOS VERSION OF THE S7! <- this was the big fat warning for anybody not reading it. My phone is currently the Exynos version, so I won't be able to root it.
Hi, I'm currently on january stock rom (V10.0.4.0) and I did the mod to get camera2 API and installed Gcam. I unlocked and rooted my phone, did the mods and then unrooted and relocked it. Supposedly, this method doesn't affect the OTA updates, but when I try to install the febrruary update, it says that the update cannot be installed. Someone have a solution/guide for this?
Thanks in advance!
Hi guys, my questions would refer to root privileges with regard to OTA software update...
But firstly...
Do you think that KingoRoot apk constitutes a reliable root service? Do you think one can root his/her device just by installing the app via browser in the phone and launching the root process?
And now the initial question:
Do you think that OTA software update can remove root from the device? Or, does the fact that one can perform OTA software update indicate that there is acutally no root on the phone?
(Device: Samsung Galaxy J5 2016)
Thanks!

Hello, never root your phone using king root and kingo root, it will get damaged
After that, always root your phone with Magisk because you can hide banking apps with it so that it doesn't know that the phone is rooted.
And I think it is possible to update the phone again with OTA by rooting Magisk
And you can always remove the root
