Looking to buy this phone soon but I was just wondering about a few things. Im buying the canadian variant G935W8.
1. Can this device be rooted on nougat as well or only marshmallow? Im buying it brand new so I think it will probably be running the latest firmware.
2. Is there any issues with unlocking the bootloader? Is it neccesary to do so if you want root and custom roms?
the bootloader is not locked on the w8 as its the exynos variant and yes nougat can be rooted its the same as 935f

Thanks. Also another question I had. If the phone comes with marshmallow and I root it will I be able to install nougat roms directly or will I have to update the bootloader and modem? In that case would it be better to update it to nougat first and then root?
Updating your phone would cause you to lose root anyways as the file structure on nougat is completely different then marshmellow.
Rooting also prevents OTA updates, so you would end up having to install nougat manually.
I suggest you upgrade your software then root it. You can use systemless root from magisk. Using TWRP just flash the latest magisk file and you are rooted. The file will automatically root your phone as part of the installation process.

If you get it with MM (highly unlikely) just don't do anything and you should get an OTA notification otherwise you can download Odin, google it as I don't have a link and nougat from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767144483 and you can flash it yourself now rooting is a little different then it used to be do a search on the s7 edge for the info on that
the reason is yes you will need to download the BL not sure about modem but you might as well do it too
I just rooted my G935W8 running 7.0 by following the instructions in the first half of this video.
I'm new to the S7 edge and was wondering if I could flash back to G935VVRU4API3 (6.0.1) from G935VVRU4BQF2 (7.0)?
Yeap you should have no problem doing so just throw that phone into download mode and flash
Awesome. I read that you can't flash backward from the latest 6.0.1 stock ROM to earlier because of bootloader changes. Last thing I want to do is brick my new phone.
your fine just make sure to use the PH1 update and youre good

Nope. Qualcomm variants have locked bootloader which means no TWRP... No custom recovery means no root.
Back on Nougat we have the engineer kernel to achieve root but made the device laggy and reduced battery life.
No root as of yet for oreo
Good evening, I have some questions taking into account that I am not an expert.
Beginning I own a sm-j730f/ds version Android 7.0 rooted by Magisk, 17.1 stock rom for Egypt:
1-Is it possible to update to Android 8.1 stock ROM for UAE
2. Are there any special steps to update or the normal way is enough by Odin
3-Does root with magisk work without twrp method
And thanks in advance.
Ok......
good afternoon friend you can help me .. so I wanted the back-up of j7 pro .70 twrp without root because I was upgrade to version 8.1 and to have several errors and I can not go back to version 7.0 only by backup
My dear friend, I am sorry unfortunately I can not help, because my device contains root magisk plus that TWRP does not work on my device.
Question why you want to return to Android 7.0. Have you encountered a problem with the new update?
Hi all, back here again.. I used to have a Samsung s8 rooted, but now I have a s10+, stock firmware.. Heard about the multi button boot up to have Magisk installed. Is their a way around this now, is their a kernel with Magisk Imbedded so it's always rooted and don't lose root with reboots? Which kernels are good for this? Also will these kernels work with latest firmware, stock firmware, I don't want a custom rim, Thankyou
Anybody
