You don't need to erase everything, that is complete horses**t.
First off you need to confirm you have the Exynos international version. If you're on the Snapdragon version, you're s**t out of luck as the bootloader is locked and root isn't possible at this time, nor will it likely ever be.
You then have two option, install CF Autoroot from ODIN and leave your recovery as stock. Or install TWRP over your recovery via ODIN and install SuperSU from a zip file from within TWRP. Either way you won't lose data. See the following threads.
CF Autoroot -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/sm-g935-exynos-cf-auto-root-t3337354
TWRP - http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/recovery-official-twrp-hero2lte-3-0-0-0-t3334084
You only need to erase everything if you want to flash custom roms in twrp. Otherwise you can just root with cf autoroot and you're all set
As the others said, flashing cf autoroot in odin won't erase anything, will leave your phone as is and will add supersu.
You should be aware that by rooting you will trip the knox flag, which permanently breaks samsung pay, and will break the following stuff on the stock rom: private mode, secret mode in the browser with fingerprint authentication (which can later be fixed by flashing a custom Rom).
If you want a properly working twrp recovery, you will have to erase everything, including the internal storage of the phone, there is no way around it.
If you absolutely must have root and you're into custom roms then I say do it now, if you're OK with the stock firmware I would advise not to root. This phone doesn't have too much development and you should not expect too many custom ROMs. I personally regret rooting.
I'm erase mi data because I want to do twrp backups, if you don't want to use a custom recovery for flash Roms and use a nandroid only flash supersu.

Glad I came across this thread, as I was having the same thoughts. How easy is it to just flash recovery back to stock? or do you need to flash the complete firmware package?

Flashing the whole fw of course 1 of the way. Maybe if we can extract stock recovery from the fw then just odin it?.

Have anyone tried and successfully done it?
there are many ways to root
I recommend use TWRP to root with SU apk file

In nougat it will disable access to data folder and force you to format, but if you flash stock firmware nougat the same it was in and reboot it everything was like before.
Basically backup everything using non root apps and adb then format then restore.
Today I accidentally did oem unlock to OFF then rebooted and then it said custom binary blocked by frp. I then flashed many nougat versions but they all caused force close of 2 things ims service and srbg? I ended up flashing nougat from January 2017 dqlc. I got everything back and working. Next I did twrp and supersu etc but data encryption failed. Then I flashed stock dqlc and got everything back. Use home csc or otherwise it will erase everything. Now I have to backup everything.

That's not horse**** at all. If your storage is encrypted (most of them are by default) then it will force you to format once you flash TWRP. I took ages of trial and error of flashing stock firmwares and bootloaders etc via Odin to get it all back as I couldn't afford wiping (even if I had backed up).
Anyone reading this thread and wanting to try it should be careful.
I also found no way to backup ALL apps and ALL their data & settings reliably without root (Helium gets only part of the job done) so I could not risk wiping and restoring. I have too many apps configured and fined tuned that I use regularly.
Sorry for necro, but I found out the hard way after being badly advised ...

And finaly do you find a way to restore your data after installing TWRP ?
By now I would hope your important data is 100% redundantly backed up.
Of all the things that can and do go wrong with rooting, data lose shouldn't even enter into the equation unless you really goofed up bad.
Only two types of data users, those who have lost data and those that will...
I consider any data on internal memory 100% expendable. A complete reload/restore takes me about 2 hours and that's without the luxury of rooting.
At any moment I'm (and you should be too) ready to do a factory reset regardless of the cause without critical data lose.
After two forced back to back forced reloads on my 10+ I learned my lesson.
Thanks Blackhawk for your explication
I am on the second part of user which have lost his data but only the configuration not the contact, photo, etc...
But without root they are plenty of data (configuration, autorisation, widget) which take very long time to "reinstall" and those data are not saved if you are not root. And sometime with root also. They are not important but the time to restore them is very long and use a phone without his custumization is very anoying.
That's why I'm loocking for a way to save it without root or root without loosing those data.

A clean wipe of all settings data means no misconfigurations or malware will survive.
Nuke em.
I'll see how well SmartSwitch does saving the home page next reload. If it screws up it will cost another reload... of course.
Only shortcuts/folders, Good Lock, One Handed Operation plus etc kill me with setup time but it's no big deal. I've gotten pretty adapt at it
Poweramp is completely, redundantly, backed up as that would take weeks to sort of recreate, a true nightmare... as it is now, it only takes a few minutes to do.
My music database has existed for over 15 years. I've lost count of the number of backup copies I have for it... plus the source CD/HDCDs.
Currently have 3 up to date copies to be expanded soon to 4.
Overkill for data backup is a good thing.

To flash TWRP you need to have OEM unlock enabled in Developer Settings. Otherwise your device will not boot.
There is a guide here
I'm pretty sure if your device is not rooted or anything already beforehand there isnt a way to remove the password without loosing your data. This is to protect a users data incase there phone is stolen or lost.

Hi sorry for slower reply im at work.
This is the same post i linked you.
Yes - you can install TWRP without installing root but you still need to have OEM unlock ticked in developer settings.
Also once flashing TWRP you will not be able to mount data or boot your device unless you FORMAT data which will loose all your files on your internal storage.
i think the solution "so i found solution of TWRP for remove the password.key and/or gesture.key in data/system right"
is only for people that already have TWRP installed on there device before they loose there passwords.

#3 boot into twrp wipe data in advanced options then mount system an flash magisk 17.1 zip wipe data again an boot phone setup phone an install magisk manager open manager in popup click yes it run threw an go away after that when ever you open magisk manager the popup will there an just click no thanks ! You should have no reason to open again it should just keep granting your root app access ! Hope this works for you all !!
A note about root; Magisk 17.1 will sometimes lose root. If this happens simply reflash magisk and reboot. The devs are working on it. We aren't the only one's with this problem. There is now a magisk 17.2 canary build which is in testing to bring better support for Oreo/Pie. I've tried it and had very good success so far.
Amazing!!

Currently TWRP lacks quota storage support, so it can't read the Oreo /data partition. You can remove quota storage from the fstab by using the patch found here. After flashing it TWRP will be able to mount the data partition. There are some downsides though. Disabling quota storage is slightly slower than having it on. And TWRP still won't be able to make/restore a backup unless the partition is less than 649mb in size. There were changes to the bootloader in Oreo that prevents making a backup. You'll reboot midway. TWRP 3.2.3-1 should fix this when it gets released.

Did this work on the usc variant or....
So now that my phone is recovered I've discovered that its only reading up to 16gb of internal storage. I have a backup of my phone before it was bricked made in twrp and want to know if I can restore that as it was made of an october patch fw and now my phone runs a december patch. Also, will this backup be corrupted or incorrect in any way because I didn't allow system modifications before creating it?
Second, can anyone drop a foolproof rooting guide for Sm-G950FD that does not result in the official binary nightmare or any other bricking horsecrap?

If it's showing incorrect storage you will need to flash stock again, you need to use the CSC file not home-csc. The pit file to repartition the device is inside the CSC file. You will need to wipe data also. As for your backup did you backup all partitions or only data? I don't use twrp backups because for some reason after restoring I always run into issues. Hope this helps in some way :good:

If it's showing incorrect storage you will need to flash stock again, you need to use the CSC file not home-csc. The pit file to repartition the device is inside the CSC file. You will need to wipe data also. As for your backup did you backup all partitions or only data? I don't use twrp backups because for some reason after restoring I always run into issues. Hope this helps in some way :good:

Yes I did backup all partitions, I backed up every option there was, which leads me to a new question. I've read up on TWRP's site https://twrp.me/faq/whattobackup.html that restoring the extra partitions carelessly could result in a brick. Is it safe to take these partitions out of the backup folder and restore everything else? I think it might end up causing issues or something since that would change the hash, hopefully I'm wrong about that tho.
Hello! I've rooted my phone today successfully without ending up in the official binary hell. I did this by following normal S8 rooting procedures but I allowed system modifications everytime TWRP booted and I flashed rmm state bypass mesa, no verity and the latest magisk. In that order. In addition, the required wiping of my device before rooting seemingly fixed my storage issue! Hooray!

Hello, that's great news glad it's all sorted for you! Happens often with the storage partition. As for the rmm, you should only have to flash the rmm zip once only then it should work every time.
