S7 Active Root - Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers

IK this question was already asked, but is there an s7 active root. If not, will it ever come out?

I can root it for you just shoot me a message wont take 10 minutes to do you will need a computer

In a previous thread he said he did everything the same way as the regular S7 in a reply to a post of mine. Now he's saying that he doesn't remember exactly but will do it for you remotely. Something funny going on here.

Don't know to be honest. I just thought it was kinda strange that he said one thing at first but then was saying something totally different and wanting to root people's devices remotely. Also, it's a brand new xda account, only has 10 posts. That last part may mean nothing but just something that stuck out to me.

So is there root for the active or not?

Yes, but there is only a 50% success rate and there is chance to brick the phone. Wait a month or so for a stable version

not sure where you got 50% success rate ?!..
dont think anyones bricked there phone as yet !..
just follow the other thread above this one !

I see what you mean. In other words its not KitKat. But could this update be the first step in getting KitKat soon? Whan do you think tmo will release it?

The new NC2 firmware might be a reaction to solve this vulnerability. If we saw this little fella, then T-mobile is still interested in keeping our phone updated. Last month Samsung USA talked about their KitKat plans in the USA which includes the GS3. So it could go either way since it depends on the carrier (T-mobile in our case) approving the update. I read the international GS3 KitKat rollout starting between April-May in a leak released days ago, so we'll have to keep our eyes peeled.

Appreciate the heads up. I'm not rooted yet. But I'm thinking about rooting with root66. Do you think that if I update to this update now that I can still root my phone later with root66 without any issues?

We can't get it until samsung releases firmware. There are quite a few threads on this already. I am waiting for it also. Just keep checking back we will get it sooner or later.

Have you found the firmware for this device or has it still not been posted yet? Also, where can I look for it at? I'm assuming it is a website that has all of the firmwares listed for every Samsung device. Unfortunately, i cant remember the name at the moment and Ill kick myself when you say it or if someone else posts it, for not remembering something so often i used to go to. However, I was in the hospital for a couple months for M.R.S.A. and that sucked. Im finally out of there but 2 months out of the loop with this field is like several years missing information in the technology world! So, what site was this posted on again?

so where is it? lol idk where it is bc i haven't yet seen it on SamMobiles site. when i enter the nomenclature it doesn't come up with any files for SM-T807P ! for the love of god please someone tell me so i can extract the file needed so we can get moving on this wonderful 4G LTE Sprint Samsung Tab S 10.5" Tablet i need a root for! Must have RooT...
so, does this mean that since this hasn't even been posted yet anywhere, completed, or done yet that considering this is the first step to development and achieving root, im also guessing people need this file to even start to begin making/developing the ROMs right? which probably means then there isnt/arent any even available as of yet and/or let alone a stock Rom/Custom ROMs for this particular device either is there? yes? no? if the answer is yes, then awsome cool where can i find any of them! if the answer is no, there arent any stock or custom ROMs available yet then my response is BoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooFREAAAAKKKKKIN Hisssssssssssssss 2 thisss maaaaaaaan! Bc this device has been out almost a year now and how can we begin development already on this thing! Is there anyway i can do it on my own? does someone have directions or a link to manually rooting IE the first way where we make the ADB command lines then type the next command to manually root the old fashioned way or what?! bc ill do it on my own if i have to!!!!! someone lead the way to the right direction(s) and im on it! might take some time but thats how i rooted my first smart phone the HTC EVO supersonic 31600. i know we use odin for samsung but what are the steps to get this ball moving?! if no one else is going to do it id like to try at least. anyone send me a link pls ? where do i start?

Right here. samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-T807P now can you upload the latest one to mega upload or mediafire? Then I can perhaps extract whats needed but still may take a while as beans or chainfire hasnt been porting cfautoroot to some devices. I could try to preroot it, but it may not work.
Root for SM-T807P
I got tired of waiting around for CF-Auto-Root to come out with a package so I made my own. It's all based off the CF-Auto-Root that I modified using another device that uses the same chip as the T807P.
I am in the process of testing it. So far I've come up with one bug which causes the DHCP wifi loop, but it was an easy fix. Once you have root access just change the permissions on the /system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks file to "execute" by "user" "group" and "others" by using a root file explorer. It fixes the "obtaining ip address loop" for wifi.
All the standard legal stuff like - I am not responsible if you brick your device or if the root doesn't work.
Here is the link to the file I used with Odin to flash the CF-Auto-Root for my T807P.

How did you modify the stuff/exactly what did you do in cfautoroot? I tried myself but didn't know what else to do. I would love to learn! (I dont own a 807p so but I have always wondered how) Thanks!

CF-Auto-Root

S6 CF-Auto-Roots are available from the repository at http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ !
Nice, looking forward for it
Will test as soon as my device arrives.
I am afraid of this statement:
Before actually rooting though, consider that KNOX will likely be tripped, and there's a good chance untripped KNOX will be required for phone based payments.

Can someone that has a T-Mobile S6 please test this?! If so, then I honestly might not root my S6 -_- unless someone comes up with a way to not trip Knox.
The s6 is out now?
No, but there are enough engineers at service centers, distributors, inside Samsung itself, who already have one, leak the necessary files, and test the roots, for this to be available already.

Hiya CF.

Silly question. I just per-ordered a T-Mobile GS6 Edge (128). I would very much like to root it. If you could, would you link the correct download from your repository for this particular Phone/Model?
Thanks,

Does this require wipe? Bootloader unlock?
What is the model number of the S6 (Tmobile) if any one knows?

Can confirm the model number. Guess root isn't available yet. Not used to using browser without adblock
Not working here either. I just received my T-Mobile GS6 today and I can't get it to apply the root. Odin just keeps failing.
Could it be the out-of-the-box OTA we received? Or was this ever actually working?

New Verizon OTA - Should I take?

Hello all,
I'll try and keep this short and sweet. I have a Verizon HTC 10. I recently used Sunshine to Unlock and S-off, and I have TWRP installed and I am rooted. Should I take the Verizon OTA that was apparently released today? (Security fix it claims, no additional bug fixes or anything.)
Will I lose my root if I do? Quite frankly it doesn't seem worth the hassle if that's the case...but I also don't want to have to keep delaying this OTA every day to get the message to go away...
Thoughts?
Thank you!

firmware fqd2

Anyone flash the newest ota? Any differences?
Just updated yesterday. I was hoping it would finally be on 5.1.1 but don't see any difference. Still had the annoying priority notifications and heads up notifications. Glad to see someone else is still squeezing life outta their note 3.
Is there a root out for this firmware yet?

There are a lot of users out there otherwise this update wouldn't have happened. They need to have a certain amount of users to justify updating. I'm glad as this phone is still a beast, and going strong.

Root works like any other recent version. Just look in the threads for the method you want. If it worked at least for four versions ago, it should still work now.

Ok I tried kingroot it said that it wasn't adaptable yet. So does that mean I should wait a while for a new root to come out or just try another way?

You don't need to use kingroot. Just flash TWRP via download mode and flash SuperSU.
This is really great! What security update does it have? It would be really great to have a deodexed version. I tried on the previous
version, but failed. Does anyone have good pointers on deodexing?

The firmware version is great. Custom roms usually come deoxed. Try magma ux build
