I tried to root my brother's S5 which was on 5.0 to begin with. Here is what I did:
Odined back to full stock 4.4.2 (NCIG or whatever), booted no problem. Then I rooted, busyboxed, installed safestrap, all worked. Booted into recovery, set up a rom slot, and flashed Alliance 5.0. Then I booted straight into download mode and flashed the OA8 Kernel and firmware via odin and booted the phone back up. It only got to the first boot screen and did the noise thing but didn't continue to the red verizon logo or anything further.
Did I miss a vital step or was I just too impatient waiting for it to boot (waited ~5min)? I figured 5 minutes would be long enough to pass the first boot screen. I put him back onto 4.4.2 rooted for the meantime but need help getting him back to 5.0.
Thanks!
Two problems I can think of. If you installed the rom to any slot other than stock I believe it won't boot properly. Also, Alliance is a deodexed rom which takes 15+ minutes on first boot, so you didn't wait anywhere near long enough.
**You can begin the following process from any Build/ROM but you must already have Root Access**
**Required** FlashFire - Play BETA - PREVIEW
1. Join the G+ community using the same Google account as you're using for Play on your phone/tablet Here.
2. Sign up to receive the BETA versions from Play Here.
- Use the link provided after sign-up to download the app.
**Caution!** The following process is only for the G900V Verizon S5 variant. Use on any other device may result in a hardbrick!
***FlashFire v19 Recommended***
Download:
- G900V_OD5_Stock_Rooted_ROM
- G900V_OD5_Stock_Deodexed_ROM
Set your screen timeout to 10mins before beginning!
1. Place the ROM onto your device (use either internal or ext-sdcard).
2. Open the FlashFire app and "Agree" to the Terms and Conditions.
3. Press "(+)" twice to bring up the "Actions" menu.
4. Select "Flash Zip or OTA" and locate and select the ROM. Leave "Auto-mount" unchecked under the "Options" menu and press the checkmark to continue.
5. From the main menu Uncheck all options under "EverRoot" and use default "Reboot" setting.
6. Last, press the lightning bolt then "Ok" to begin the flash .
The screen will turn black then display the contents of your system before beginning the flash. FlashFire will pause for about 1 minute while flashing the "system" partition. Once complete your device will reboot and pause on the Verizon splash screen for 1 - 2 minutes (15 - 20mins for DeOdexed version) before completely rebooting. Done!
Tip: for blazing fast speed turn off animations from Developer Options and reboot!
Known Issues:
- None!
- When reporting an issue please always include your starting firmware, FF version, ROM version flashed, and relevant details. Should the flash fail please review FF's last log for errors and include info in your post.
Optional (Flash using FlashFire's "Flash zip or ota" option):
- G900V_OD5_TetherAddOn
- G900V_OD5_Write_to_SDCard
Notes:
1. The above process will not affect your Knox Warranty Flag.
2. The process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, Stock Recovery, and Bootloader to OD5.
3. No need to wipe prior to flashing, the ROM will automatically perform a factory data reset.
4. If you do not already have root access (or to unbrick) you must flash the G900VVRU1ANCG_Full_Odin.tar (flash in Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+)), root with Towelroot (this version does not require internet access), then proceed with the above process.
5. To learn more about FlashFire's capabilities on locked bootloader devices see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60070810&postcount=2

If the above tips did not work for you, its time to take things to the next level. If the Galaxy S7 is the only device in your Wi-Fi network to suffer from slow speeds, you can try changing the DNS server used on the handset.
For this, you will first have to make the device forget the existing Wi-Fi network. Then, tap on its name to join again, but before you enter the password, tap on ‘Show advanced options.’ Now proceed to tap ‘IP Settings’ and select ‘Static’ from the list. Leave other IP settings as they are, and simply enter the DNS server you’d like to use in the DNS text field area. You can try using Google DNS first (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) or OpenDNS (208.67.222.222) to see if they fix the Wi-Fi woes on your S7 or not.

Disable the Samsung Factory Reset Protection if you have it enabled
Put phone in download mode
Download TWRP using this twrp-3.1.1-0-herolte.img.tar
Open Odin, uncheck AutoReboot, check AP point to the TWRP we just downloaded. Hit Start
Once its finished, do Recovery Combo (Power + VolumeUp + HomeButton)
It will reboot in TWRP Recovery, flash MagiskV14.zip, if you have problem seeing files wipe DATA and then reboot to recovery again using TWRP, select SDCARD as storage then flash MagiskV14.zip
Reboot the phone, wait 10-15 minutes then install MagiskManager.apk
Optional - Open Magisk Manager, select SuperUser then open Download. Install Busybox by 0sm0sis.
You are now running systemless root
Refer to MaxLee Video on Rooting S7 with Magisk - Guide
Did you manage to root the G930W8 on nougat 7.0 build with this method? I've had nothing but problems attempting to root for the last few days. Tried cf-auto root and this magisk method early on in my attempts with no success. I've just fine a full clean build flash and restore and would really like to root but am worried I'm just going to get no where again and spend hours getting back to where I'm at now...

Yes. Refer to second post. I'm now running the latest nougat with magiskv14 systemless root. Its better that way, I can still use snapchat and banking applications.

Having trouble as well.
I get message "integrity check failed" after flashing magisk via twrp a step 11 then makes me reset the phone but because of the custom recovery it only bootloops.
Then i restart the whole process again only to stop at step 11.
Is there a step i'm missing?
Start all over again, but on step 11 follow this.
Try it this way:
When you boot up to TWRP, swipe allow modification. Flash MagiskV14.zip, then if it says install TWRP app, press "do not install".
If you have problem seeing files wipe DATA and then reboot to recovery again using TWRP, select SDCARD as storage then flash MagiskV14.zip
I tried it but i accidentally let the phone reboot after flashing twrp and it failed the integrity check and started bootlooping. I entered recovery and grabbed the log which i attached here.
So I did the steps again but used this steps from the other guide for exynos models
At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.
By swiping right, you will trigger dm-verity, and if you don't follow the next step you will be unable to boot!
If you are going to root your device and follow the rest of these steps, then it is safe to swipe right and enable modifications.
If you want to use Systemless DevBase, then do not swipe. Keep it as read only.
Go to Wipe and click on format data. Type "yes" and it will format.
Now go back to home and click on "Reboot" then click on "Recovery" Option.
Then went from step 11 here and what you said to flash magisk and it worked.
My phone is finally debloated.
I tried your steps many times but everytime it's failing. Everytime it fails when installing "system". I've tried with different CSC version firmwares but it failed with each one of them. I', 100% sure that it is G930W8 S7 Flat because it was running on the same version of custom ROMs.

Same here... I tried it on two different stock roms with no luck.
I almost soft bricked my s7 which was working perfectly before applying the patch. It was giving me dm-verity error at boot...
I was able to flash it back and make it working using full stock rom.
I highly recommend readers to NOT apply the above Magisk Root on their G930W8 (S7).

sorry if this is in the wrong section i have galaxy s7 its on android 7.0 my power button is broken doesnt work at all i normally dont let my phone power down completley cause of it and it has ive tried rebooting the phone usin volume down and then plugging into computer and it just brings up the charge screen is there any other ways i can get this phone powered on even if i have to download something on my computer i will pleaqse help if possible
Have you tried these suggestions?
https://www.addictivetips.com/android/turn-on-an-android-phone-with-a-broken-power-button/
I just want to confirm this, since it's not explicitly mentioned in the post... When you root it trips KNOX, which locks you out from Disconnect Pro, Samsung Health, and Samsung Pay. Does this also mean that Android pay will not work either? Or does this method allow for Android pay to work?
If not, is there a workaround yet?

There are many reports on the XDA forums that Android Pay works with Magisk systemless root and with tripped Knox on S7 (as opposed to Samsung Pay which will not work once Knox is tripped).

I followed these directions exactly but when I boot into TWRP and attempt to install the Magisk.zip I recieve the following errors stating "could not mount /data partition" then causing the phone to bootloop until I flash the stock firmware again.

can you clarify(link to) what combination of steps you used to achieve a successful root? I havent attempted again since my last attempt but it sounds like you had some success. If you'd share it'd be really helpful and appreciated. Would really like to get root back on my phone
also just to clarify, I'm on nougat 7.0 with security patch Nov 1, 2017
Thanks

If its first time TWRP installation then you need to Format data (Caution: Format data will format the Phone internal storage and you need to backup files first if you have in phone storage like photos video and etc) After formatting data it Will allow to read and write the data partition). Further once you Flash TWRP then Super SU or Magist (Root) is compulsory to boot normal unless its bootloop
Any of you recommend holding off on the root till the Oreo update? Also, does rooting change the kernel to a different one? I wanna avoid battery/performance issues if I can by staying on the stock kernel.

hi
can someone confirm a procedure for rooting s7 on exynos cpu
would be more than appreciated
thanks
nate
Im not New to rooting phones Iam new to rooting Samsung phones and Odin Software.
some specs of SM-S737TL:
Carrier: WMFM
OS: Android 7.0
Model #: SM-S737TL
Device Name: Galaxy J7 Sky Pro
CPU: Exynos Octa 7870
Architecture: 8x Arm cortex-A53 @ 1.59 GHz
Board: Universal7870
Ram: 2G but actually is 1.85G "but who's counting right!?"
Internal Storage: 16G
Security KNOX
few things about this phone:
-In developer options there is NO option for OEM UNLOCK "My first phone without that option"
-FRP LOCK is ENABLED
-In this phone's recovery the top line reads "samsung/j7popeltetfntmo/j7popeltetfntmo7.0/NRD90M/S737TLUDU1AQF2 user/release-keys" My issue here is "TMO" Im guessing that that means T-Mobile???
-I feel like the Internal Storage was Auto Encrypted without asking the user and without an option to encrypt internal storage. The only option for Encryption is individual file encryption. I say this because battery life is horrible I have seen this on other phones that have encryption enabled. Or is it KNOX doing the battery drain?
-Odin download mode with VOL Dwn+Home Key+PWR

Questions:
1. Is the Samsung J7 Sky Pro just a Rebranded
Samsung galaxy Wide
Samsung Galaxy Prime
2. Could we use a root method from a similar rebranded phone?
3. Could we use a SuperSU from the rebranded or Super similar phone? "i kinda know the answer but I ask anyway"
4. Could we just flash the latest SuperSU using CF auto-root w/Odin or Just typical ADB commands and gain root like that?
5. Notice the line at the recovery of this phone it says "j7popeltetfntmo" TMO usually means T-Mobile. So whats up with that???
6. Odin Mode easy to get to Rumor is Tracfone Doesnt lock bootloaders Does this mean the Sky Pro Tracfone Varient has a Unlocked bootloader out of box? I assume yes because we can get to bootloader, Odin Mode, and Recovery without hax/mods

Sent from my HTC One M9 using XDA Free mobile app
this is op. Look for crom sevice on xda download install. I believed it oem unlucked my phone. Check it out guys. Get back to me let me know what you think. now if we have oem unlock we just need stock rom.
With this phone the way to root it would be Reset to factory then not letting the phone to load and run stock install WE HAVE TO AVOID ENCRYPTION WHICH THIS PHONE FORCES! SO WE FACTORY RESET AND GO IMMEDIETLY TO BOOTLOADER
Oh I should tell you I installed crom service but the phone didnt reset and apply update immedietly it was like 1 or 2 days later. I just left it installed figured if it didnt do anything right then it doesnt work. I Got distracted with a phone call and forgot to uninstall crom. Thats the story I want root for my phone

Well done, wasnt sure if i could say anything yet. pointed in the Crom direction on another thread. I need to read all the rules. I am new at this but love it.

Thanks for reply your status

Ok. Before I even say anything, I have no idea what half of the things that are said on here means. All I want is to be able to use my phone as a mobile hotspot/tethering. But that setting is not on this phone. I have the j727vl. I downloaded a app that lets me access the setting but it's blank. Does that make sense? Anyways. I Googled ?how I could possible get my phone to let me do that, and i cane across rooting it. I've tries kingroot and one other thing (forgot what it's called ?) so please if someone can explain what to do (in a language I can understand) id be forever grateful. I just want to be able to watch Netflix again ??

You don't need an app to be able to use your phone as a hotspot
All you have to do is go to connections and then Mobile Hotspot and tethering

I cant. That is not even an option on this phone, or atleast not the one I have. I have read that the carrier may have that setting blocked.

Im not New to rooting phones Iam new to rooting Samsung phones and Odin Software.
some specs of SM-S737TL:
Carrier: WMFM
OS: Android 7.0
Model #: SM-S737TL
Device Name: Galaxy J7 Sky Pro
CPU: Exynos Octa 7870
Architecture: 8x Arm cortex-A53 @ 1.59 GHz
Board: Universal7870
Ram: 2G but actually is 1.85G "but who's counting right!?"
Internal Storage: 16G
Security KNOX
few things about this phone:
-In developer options there is NO option for OEM UNLOCK "My first phone without that option"
-FRP LOCK is ENABLED
-In this phone's recovery the top line reads "samsung/j7popeltetfntmo/j7popeltetfntmo7.0/NRD90M/S737TLUDU1AQF2 user/release-keys" My issue here is "TMO" Im guessing that that means T-Mobile???
-I feel like the Internal Storage was Auto Encrypted without asking the user and without an option to encrypt internal storage. The only option for Encryption is individual file encryption. I say this because battery life is horrible I have seen this on other phones that have encryption enabled. Or is it KNOX doing the battery drain?
-Odin download mode with VOL Dwn+Home Key+PWR
The Sky Pro is recognized by Odin with the Samsung USB Drivers

Questions:
1. Is the Samsung J7 Sky Pro just a Rebranded
Samsung galaxy Wide
Samsung Galaxy Prime
2. Could we use a root method from a similar rebranded phone?
3. Could we use a SuperSU from the rebranded or Super similar phone? "i kinda know the answer but I ask anyway"
4. Could we just flash the latest SuperSU using CF auto-root w/Odin or Just typical ADB commands and gain root like that?
5. Notice the line at the recovery of this phone it says "j7popeltetfntmo" TMO usually means T-Mobile. So whats up with that???
6. Odin Mode easy to get to Rumor is Tracfone Doesnt lock bootloaders Does this mean the Sky Pro Tracfone Varient has a Unlocked bootloader out of box? I assume yes because we can get to bootloader, Odin Mode, and Recovery without hax/mods

So this method works for this mobile?
my model is Samsung sm-s727vl
which is from StraightTalk
Does this also sim unlocks the phone?
I don't really want to try this without someone saying this method worked.
Anything so Far?
Anything so Far? I tried to root my phone but when following instructions but I can't flash anything. I tried going in control panel, update drivers etc. but no luck. Help me and if anyone has successfully rooted the SM-S737TL then let me know how you did it. Thanks in advance. Will the other versions work with SM-S737TL? (eg. SM-J727V OR SM-S737VL)
Root didn't work for sm-s737tl
I love this Walmart family mobile phone but would like to root it. I bought the same phone for my mom because it's a great phone for the price. I tried the root as outlined but the result was FAIL! ODIN found the phone and connected but the end result was Complete (Write) operation failed and the download screen said something about a security check failing.
I'm assuming I'm missing an OEM unlock but don't see it in developer options menu.
My baseband version is s737tlud1aqf2
I really want to root this phone!
Hlp I have no computer can I root it ?????
I have no computer but I'm working on borrowing one I really hope this works I've been waiting on this for a long time thank you in advance:fingers-crossed:

and flash with odin fails and "SECURE CHECK FAIL (RECOVERY)" is displayed in the upper left hand corner of the screen. Just FYI for others trying to flash same model phone as me.
I tested my battery health with phone info app(the app made for Samsung if I’m right) and it said my battery health was 71% and I do have bad battery life and changing the battery is not an option for me. So can somebody suggest some options for me to get better battery life without changing the battery. I also can’t flash custom rims as my screen is busted and only displays everything green and doesn’t work unless AOD is enabled . So after every time I factory reset I have to randomly keep pressing the power button sleeping and waking the screen for days until the the screen suddenly starts working for some reason to quickly go through the setup and enable AOD. So I only upgrade and degrade through Odin with home csc. Any suggestion that keep my AOD enabled and help my battery case are welcome. (And if you can you download the phone info app and tell me what it says in the personal tab and battery to prove its accuracy that would be great too )

The goal of this is to give you better performance and battery, and now supports ALL S7s!!!
I have included into the script where it will create a file craz_test.log which will tell if and when the script has ran at boot in /data
I have also implemented into the script where it will run the script every 3 minutes (180 seconds) as the kernel will reset itself often.
Thanks to @kevp75 for the help with troubleshooting and making things easier
HUGE thanks to @king3opobn for providing information and testing on the Exynos variant!

If you want to fix it here is what i did:
STEP 1 - ROOT IT!
1. Download Magisk zip and pull it to your Sd card or internal storage
2. Flash TWRP via Odin (put it in "AP"). Be sure to disable auto reboot in odin. If it says PASS!, hold the 3 keys (volume up + home + power) wait until twrp screen appears. (Your Warranty is now void)
3. Now flash the Magisk zip and reboot your device.

Magisk:
https://androidfilebox.com/download/2272/
**All these downloads will start directly bc i choosed direct links**
**You have successfully rooted your S7edge!**
STEP 2 - UPDATE BL AND MODEM (FIX STANDBY DRAIN)
1. Boot your S7edge into Download mode
*Volume down + home + power*
A blue screen with a triangle appears. Press Volume Up key and its in Download mode
2. Flash latest Oreo Bootloader (ERF4) and Modem (EREO) via odin (!!be sure to disable "NANO EREASE" in Odin!!)
Put the Bootloader file into "BL" and Modem file into "CP" and hit Start
2. Let it reboot normally
**LINKS:**
Bootloader ERF4:

•G935W8:
Not Found?
**You have successfully updated your bootloader and Modem - Cell Standby drain is fixed!**
STEP 3 - "FIX" ANDROID SYSTEM DRAIN
1. Download TGP Kernel for Galaxy S7edge and put it to your Sd card or internal storage.
2. Shut down and boot into TWRP Recovery
3. Flash TGP Kernel
My Choices in Aroma:
•Magisk root
•Clear root data from previous root
I didnt select MTweaks or other stuff. I only picked the 2 options above
------Just select Magisk and choose Delete Root data (from previous root). Deselect all other things ----
4. Wipe DALVIK/ART CACHE
5. Reboot and youre Done!?

--------THATS IT--------
If you want to get more better Standby results, install ForceDoze app from Play Store and just activate it.
My result: 7h 40min SOT
i used my phons the whole day. It didnt had much standby time..... but with this Setup, my S7 Battery life is like Nougat.
I am not responsible for any damages. Do it at your own Risk

[DETAILED][GUIDE] Flash Recovery + ROM to Samsung Galaxy S6 [LineageOS][G920F][TWRP]
Good Day Fam,
This is a detailed guide for absolute beginners rooting their Samsung Galaxy S6 (G920F) for the first time. It includes loading a system recovery (TWRP) and flashing a custom rom (LineageOS 14.1). This same method has been used personally on three different Samsung phones (S4 mini, S5, S6) with no problems or bricking. In this example official LineageOS 14.1 (ROM) will be used. Why LineageOS? Its stable, has good support and is lightweight (well optimised). Over the dozens of roms flashed generally LineageOS comes on top.
I had links for all the downloads but xda won't let me post them due to not enough posts. All except for the drivers and odin are on LineageOS's website.
DOWNLOADS:
Lineage OS 14.1 of your phone:download.lineageos.org/zerofltexx
"lineage-14.1-201xxxxx-nightly-zerofltexx-signed.zip"
TWRP (System Recovery TeamWin) got from:twrp.me/Devices/Samsung/
"twrp-3.2.3-0-zeroflte.img"
Gapps (S6 = ARM64, Lineage 14.1 = 7.1, I chose nano for you)pengapps.org/?api=7.1&variant=nano
"open_gapps-arm64-7.1-nano-20180928.zip"
Odin (what we use to get TWRP on phone, also doesn't matter which version they all work)dindownload.com/download/#.W62aymgzaUk
"Odin3_v3.12.3.zip"
Driver (not always needed):developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows
"SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.zip"
INSTRUCTIONS:
Load TWRP on phone using Odin (it involves usb cable, phone in download mode, and sometimes you need to donwload samsung driver software if odin doesn't pick up phone).
Reboot phone in Recovery mode (TWRP mode) and back up whole phone on a flash/micro sd/OTG card.
In recovery mode format (need to type "yes") and wipe it (system+cache)
Copy DOWNLOAD 1 and 3 zipped folders on a micro sd card (LineageOS and Gapps)
Put sd card in phone and start phone in recovery mode.
Navigate to and install "lineage-.....zip" with the reboot after completion unchecked and then "open_gapps....zip" with the reboot after completion checked
And NOW your phone will reboot with hot new bloatware free OS
And you still have copy of your old phone on a flash somewhere.
EXTRA:
The only folders you unzip is the folders that need to be installed on pc: odin + drivers (the rest need to stay ziped
Download mode: volume down + home + power
Recovery mode: volume up + home + power
Odin's set up has to be perfect before you push start look it up. This is the most crucial part of the process as you can brick your phone here if not done right
