How to Root Samsung Galaxy Note 7 on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow

The current flagship phone from Samsung, the Galaxy Note 7, comes with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow out of the box. As we have listed in our earlier tutorial, the full firmware files are already available for download and can easily restore the Note 7 to full stock. Moreover, the development has already started, so contributors and Android enthusiasts have already come up with the root procedure for this sweet device. XDA members brought the Auto-Root procedure for Note 7 into notice for variants like SM-N930F, N930FD, N930S, N930L, N930K, N930X
and all the Exynos processor running variants. So take a note that you do not use this method on Snapdragon variants.

The CF-Auto-Root procedure has always been the most liked root procedure for the Samsung Galaxy devices. If you don’t want to go through all this hassle of installing TWRP recovery and flashing the SuperSU package manually, then Auto-Root method is the best. A similar method has been introduced by XDA members, except here, we make use of the stock rootable Kernel instead of a CFAR file. All you need to do is flash the Auto-Root Kernel via Odin software and you are done. Before you proceed, make sure you are on the required Marshmallow ROM on Galaxy Note 7 or at least have the Marshmallow bootloader. Also, read the warning before you proceed. We will also be looking forward to listing the alternate TWRP method to root Note 7 once it is available. UPDATE: TWRP for Galaxy note 7 is now available. Download it now and root using the TWRP and SuperSU package.
