That's root for regular at&t s7 nougat! Can someone port this for s7 active?
Well, this looks promising.
shouldn't we show this post to activefan01? aka the person who originally got the s7 active root the first time.
i already discussed this in the main root thread ..
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71371724&postcount=657
no offence to activefan atall, as he is the one who took the BIG risk and initiative ...
but in Post #85
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...3&postcount=85
he stated he actually used a tool called chimeratool
https://chimeratool.com/en/models
to get the root...
but yes that thread does look promising ...
was originally from JUSMEJOSE..
found from this thread ...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...root-s7-edge-t-mobile-released-t3555591/page3
but is promising that its out there so looks promising that theres a s7 active one too.... its just gotta be leaked !
Chimeratool is not a bad tool at all and not that hard to figure out either for someone with limited rooting and unrooting skills and they offer you support in the event you do run into a problem. But sadly a little to pricey for me. I got way too many bills to pay to still be able to afford that too on my very limited part time employment hourly pay. But if I could afford it I could probably figure out how to use it to maybe achieve root for android 7.0 but no garantees though. Basically all you need to be able to use it is the software, the specialty cable that they make you pay extra for, some skills installing firmware on android phones, and some rooting and unrooting skills for android phones which I'm sure most people on this website have by now. This website has been around for a very long time now.

An update from anyone if this has in fact been worked out for the active?

All this talk of accidental bricking reminds me of my i910 days where if you bricked your phone, all you had to do was hook it up using JTAG and you could reflash whatever you wanted (you do need to know where to get the parts/tools though).
I'm fairly sure that the snapdragon platform on this phone, like almost every other embedded system ever made, has JTAG ports for debugging and the like. Has anyone made any progress towards finding them and using them? Or is it as heavily protected as the rest of the phone's security model? Any info would be great!
I know that in the G1 dev forum there is a JTag thread. You can ask the op seems he found them there. Maybe he's updated to the nexus or dinc and has some snapdragon test points.

The thread in question: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591048
I didn't see anything about snapdragon in there...
I bought a "bricked" DINC for a steal and was hoping to revive it.
Recovery and system both appeared to be toast, but at least I could get into Hboot (S-ON). Well, after trying to apply a couple "Official" Froyo RUUs, I've now also pooched Hboot. The screen no longer comes on and I've verified it's not just the screen, since it's not recognized at all on USB and therefore no fastboot.
I found this JTAG diagram, and info on dedicated repair boxes such as ORT and RIFF, however I'd like to find a cheaper solution. Shouldn't it be possible to use OpenOCD and a Wiggler JTAG? Anyone here with actual experience working with JTAG on the QSD8650.

Blogging site Xanga just released an app and it's not accessible for anything running 3.0+. As soon as I open the app, I get this.

Is there any way of "tricking" the app into thinking I'm running 2.3 or something? I've spoken to the developer and he said they only had 2.3 devices to test with so until they get something newer, they aren't looking into it. Any thoughts?

Tell them to download 4.0 simulator... crazy replied from the developer
I told them to root their phones and install an ICS rom.

I've found that most developers are pretty good with updating their apps for new versions. Right before the Galaxy Nexus came out I remember my phone/tablet grabbing tons of updates, and usually the update notes would say "Android 4.0 compatibility added".
But there are some developers who have either abandoned their apps completely, or just don't see the need to invest in keeping their apps updated and in tip-top shape. It's a shame, because I feel a lot of them are primarily interested in iOS, and ported their stuff over because of the demand for Android versions, but then don't really think investing their time into the Android version is worth their while.
All a part of the ecosystem I guess. Good thing about Android is that if an app isn't coded to work properly or gets abandoned, there are usually quite a few alternatives.
Hello Friends,
i bought my wife the G7 thinq about half a year ago. After the release of Android 9, i noticed that there are no OTF Updates at all available. I've found out, that there are Italian versions being sold in Germany and my suspicion that mine is one asweel got confirmed by the LG support (no visible branding). Since then i have tried anything i can find on the internet, but nothing seems to work. I've developped such a hate towards LG.
So i mainly used guides and files from lg-firmwares.com/.
No matter what i do, i get the following error:

Thank you so much in advanced.

Hi everyone,
Im coming from iPhone and jailbreaking, and a week ago I got myself Samsung S7 tab and I would really like to root it, but I'm an absolute noob Android OS wise, and I really need detailed step by step tutorial on this subject but really step by step. I tried looking for something like that online or some video tutorials but didn't find anything and I would be really grateful for any help provided.
Thank you so much for any help

For those having troubles understanding the existing guides; it may be useful to explain somewhat specifically what you're missing from the guide.
In other words, are there concepts, words, apps that you are unclear about? Feel free to ask them here.
I've done a lot of reading but haven't been successful in finding a solid answer, I have a note 10+ n975u, it is sim unlocked and I would love to root(if possible, I don't think it is) or at least flash a no carrier bloat loaded stock software. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a solid answer?

No root needed. If you optimize it will run well stock. Use Package Disabler to easily disable apps you don't want running.
Turn off adaptive battery... deal with power hogs on a case by case basis.
The Snapdragon variants are extremely hard to root if possible at all. Not worth the trouble or potential consequences.

Thanks for the info. The advantage I have in this case is that it is not my daily driver. Just one I like to mess around on. Back in the day I used to root every device I got the day after I got it. But I've been away from the game for a while.
You're welcome. I have two, a N975U (Pie) and a N975U1 (10). That's all I use... once optimized these get good SOT and are very stable.
