Finally, the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930A and S7 Edge SM-G935Aย can now gain root access on the stock TouchWiz firmware. As per some XDA members, the root method works successfully on the two devices and has also been reported working on the T-Mobile variant of the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. However, if you are going to try it on the T-Mobile variants, you should be cautious about it. This is a great deal for all the AT&T and T-Mobile Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge enthusiasts who would like to tinker with their Android device and get started with advanced development or modification. The root procedure is now available and can be achieved usingย a modified kernel for both the S7 devices. It also requires an ADB flashable SuperSU package to actually root the devices.

The Galaxy S7 devices come with the latest Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update forย The Galaxy S7 devices out of the box and now these flagship phone can be rooted.

      Boot into recovery and perform a factory reset. That should do it. Or you can flash the full stock firmware as a last resort.

      It stays at the logo screen and just vibrates…..it doesnt do much after that. When I try to type the root.dat into command prompt it says it is not recognized as a internal or external command.
