Its been going around S8 & S8+ already, i hope S7 isnt affected by this yet
So does the new bootloader (DRA9) prevents you to downgrade to older bootloaders? Like the one you are using prior to updating?
Yes
who reported this 1st?

I have a Galaxy S7 edge (SM-G935F) which I installed the original room of Samsung with the odin, I made root and removed it after a few days, but this procedure changed the binary counter of my device, does anyone know how I can reset it ?

First, you CANNOT reset the knox counter. Once it's up, it's up forever.
And This is not the right place to ask. Also before you ask, you may use the Search as this question have been answered long ago.

Straight from galaxy s6 forum!
I'm pretty sure this doesn't work on the Edge yet unless you tried it and it worked?
I've tried. It started in the OP that it's not for S6 Edge because of different in the kernel and issues with charging or something but that the vulnerability should still work just needs more investigation.
Shouldn't be long..
Problem is, will it be available before we are forced to update to the 5.1.1 update which will most likely ruin any chance of rooting.
Also wonder if rooting will stop the auto updating tactics they use as they may cause people to lose root.
Why would you be forced to update?
I have never seen an update that was forced on users for android yet.
Plus you should always be able to Odin back down.
I have done it multiple times with my s5

Many Thanks
Hey guys, I rooted my Edge with PingPong but now it doesn't go into deep sleep. I checked BetteryBatteryStats and it says the phone has been awake 100% of the time. I rooted my previous Edge model with CF auto root and it didn't go into deep sleep either until someone posted something for us to flash with Odin. Idk if that'll work this time since it's a different root method and if it will trip Knox because I'll be flashing something over Odin. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

some models will downgrade no matter what your example S5 ..
But my N910A downgrade from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4 I was imei null, baseband nulll
My English is bad, sorry.
I have rooted my SM-G9350(S7 edge China version) by flashing xiao1u's recovery, then boot into recovery and flash SuperSU 2.71.
Then I found the front camera issue: When using system camera app's auto mode, the second and next photo captured become deep red black, when reboot or reset the camera app, the first shot is well, but the second shot is still become deep red black.... And other problems, such as in some apps the video can not play directly, the picture stoped at begin and the speaker make "da da da"...(I have asked one who have not root his phone, he does not have this problem...)
So I flashed back offical firmware using odin, seleted "Re-partition, Nand erase all and phone bootloader update", but no any change, the problem still there...
Some one flashed xiao1u's recovery but he haven't boot into recovery to flash SuperSU ZIP package, he say his phone does not have these problems...That seems says xiao1u's recovery does not directly cause these problems...
So the problems may because using xiao1u's recovery flashing SuperSU package?
Some one guess these problems because root changed param partition, who have param.bin?
Not only me, as I found there are about fifty people have the same problem as me....
Who can give some help? Lots of thanks!!!!!

Thanks!
FYI SM-G9350 is the Snapdragon based S7 Edge sold in HK and China. I have the same in my hand.
Something similar was posted for the S6E: http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...sung-factory-bootloader-unlocker-apk-t3086609
The U.S. Snapdragon variants have a locked bootloader. It appears the Chinese version does not.
so this will only work on the asian versions?

So far, apparently.
It's been my limited observation that locked bootloaders are carrier specific, it may be that the US providers may have become consistent but I haven't really made an assessment.
USA.... The land of the free and the locked bootloader. That is just not right ☺
I almost started getting very excited...what a tease lol

I thank Congress. You know. My lawmakers, which are lock-stock-and-barrel owned by the well monied PACs, such as the telecom providers.
I give a second thanks to the malicious coders of the world that have made it necessary for personal devices that do computation to have strong built-in security defenses just to be able to communicate with other drives.
I used that file to unlock (by some way) my bootloader im on the same g9350.
The people with the locked BL issue should try CROM, if it doesnt work it will not kill your phone.
1400700226 can you share to me the links from where you obtained the info related to the root??? As I mentioned you before when i tryed the root my IMEI got corrupted.

Hey guys... I have an S7 edge duos and I want to switch to Verizon but my phone isn't compatible... so I was thinking about selling it and getting the US unlocked version (SM-G935U). Is there a root for this phone? I'm thinking kingroot might work but I haven't found any posts via google search to confirm. Thanks ahead of time.
There is using a engineering kernel, but it give bad battery life and performance.

This appears to have all the information needed to root this device. I didn't try myself since not being able to use a custom recovery due to the locked bootloader leaves little to be enjoyed.

At&t s7 edge can be rooted but the bootloader cannot be unlocked. So no twrp and no custom roms.
I'd really like to root my Galaxy S8+ (AT&T) but I'm worried that it will leave some warning message every time the phone boots like it did with my Motorola G or Huawei 6x. I know from past experience that Samsung Android products may show a small fine print on boot and can be reset at anytime back to factory (the Huawei, in contrast, cannot).
Is that the case with the S8?
Anyone? Comon guys!
Hi if you have the US phone, at boot there is a custom firmware screen or something. It will go away after a few restarts if you go back to factory though.

It's not perm. This is a result from the combination file boot IMG. Its only on for like 3 or 4 sec. And if you ever flash back stock since we don't have unlockable bootloader it's not perma
Cool, thank for the reply! It doesn't seem too bad and, if your warranty is already expired, you have nothing to lose.
Is there an original rom that's debloated for this?
Hi
Would someone help a newbie please.
I am using an S7 Edge with a cracked screen. Given the price of proper replacement screen it doesn't seem worthwhile.
It seems better value to buy an S8+, but which model number? There are apparently 12 different versions! Could anybody please tell me which model of Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus would be best for the UK?
Cheers

Rooting the US does not lose the warranty. Root does not trip the Knox. Only unlocking the boot loader which we can't do
