Show support for root - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus

The other option we have is to use Kingroot to push development. While Kingroot doesnt work for our device, it will show the devs of Kingroot that our GS7 edge is in demand for an exploit. Let these devs know we want it bad. Run the app.

Hopefully they view S7s and edges from both T-Mobile and AT&T as one device, since they are basically the same software. The number given is only for requests from AT&T Edges

I think the different colors may have different numbers?? I'm up to 520ppls and I have the Gold AT&T version. G935A. Although I doubt we'll ever get root It seems AT&T is working with the manufacturers to make it impossible. I wish I had the cash to buy a)an international version or b)a new Nexus. I kinda miss my bigger screen

The Chinese gs7 and edge, which are a snapdragon 820 variants, have root as well as xposed.

So utterly bummed out upon the discovery of this issue with the Galaxy S7 being locked down like Fort Knox. AT&T Offered to hook us up and give my wife and I the "buy one get one free" on the S7 and S7 Edge without adding a new line ( which was the requirement to get the free one) since we've been long-time customers. It was the last day of the promotion and we really needed new phones so we jumped on the offer... My heart sank when I hopped onto this forum hoping to find an easy root method and saw how frustrated everyone has been over trying to accomplish doing anything with the US version.... *sighs*

You picked a good time. There's a guy that posted in the AT&T Root bounty thread last night with his Skype ID saying he'd achieved root. I was doubtful and messaged him on Skype and he presented me with his evidence. I posted it to the forums, and went to bed. Woke up, and since then he's helped another user achieve root and Chainfire has offered his help on SuperSU if needed. It's looking brighter for us AT&T S7 Edge users!

Sweeeeeet! That is great news!

Check the S7 thread. Root had been achieved!

Everyone will have an s3 by then T-Mobile is already in talk about offering the s3 for 0 down with qualifying credit with its new financing program in last months sales meeting I can buy an refurbish s3 for around 149.00 but I'm sure the price will drop by then. For this phone I'm sure someone will figure it out but if not the s3 will be at an decent price.

If I get another phone I would go big hopefully note 3 is out by then.
I'm on the no contract plan so I just have to pay $55 a month, but my next device will probably be a Nexus...
*pops up out of nowhere*
First of all, KLP is probably 6 months away at least. There's been numerous sources and *ahem* confirmations (still not 100%, but enough evidence to be believed) that the next Android version to be released at I/O next week will indeed be 4.3 Jelly Bean.
Secondly, as long as camcory, smartguy, Tim, and the other geniuses are still around here, then yes, I do see the Exhibit running the next update. May take a while for various drivers (wifi, bt, gps, and camera come to mind), but I bet they'll be hard at work to get things going. It's the typical ongoing cycle non-Nexus phones always have to deal with. Speaking of which....

There was just a story on VR-Zone (June-12-2013) and they said that Google is optimizing KLP to run better on devices with 512MiB, and it's coming out in October. I'm sure i'll still have this phone by then, so hopefully somebody will be able to get it working.

Just my 2 cents..... I would highly recommend the HTC M8. I had the S5 for 3 days, took it back and got the M8 and LOVE IT! I have had a couple Samsung devices (S3, Tab 3) and was really looking forward to the S5, but the no-root/locked AT&T bootloader was a deal breaker for me.
Went with the HTC and have no regrets. Love the Sense 6 interface and you can customize anything, in terms of graphically. Have experienced zero lag, hiccups or any other glitches that are inherent with Touchwiz systems (typically).
The Note 3 is a nice device too, but rather big for my taste. The m8 is sleek and I like the metal body vs the plastic samsung has been using for the past couple years.
Again, just my input from someone who left my tried and true Samsung s3 (and briefly S5).
^^ Good post. However, the Note 3 still reigns supreme.
Sent from my SGNote 3
You could trade if the person is willing to add some cash to it as well. But personally i prefer the S5.
Not sure where the idea of Android being harder to root comes from. Google is removing holes in the firmware but with unlockable bootloaders rooting is easy. It's Samsung and their obsession with locking and encrypting their bootloaders that make it hard. I have A Sony Z ultra and it was fairly easy to root of you are willing to lose your warranty. Same with the M8 anything but Verizon.

Unfortunately it's at&t & other carriers that requested the locked bootloader. They're really going after corporate customers hence the added security. T-Mo knows they don't really have a shot at the big accounts & therefore don't care about the bootloader.
Root is really what matters to me but it's a lot riskier without nandroid backups. I'm still using my T-Mo Note 3 for that reason. My S5 is a Samsung sponsored demo but if I could, I would trade it for a T-Mo version. Almost feels like a waste of time transferring everything & giving up root when I'll have the Note 4 in a few months.

You do realize that the main reason for this ATT only situation is that ATT locks down the boatloader?
The S5 certainly has root and many custom ROMs available if you start out with a S5 sold by another carrier. One pragmatic solution is to buy your S5 elsewhere e.g. TMB and have it unlocked. Then you can use it on ATT complete with a rooted, custom ROM.

Lollipop release 90 days after Google's code release

Pretty interesting promise. :fingers-crossed:
Just means Sprint gets their hands on it, we still have to wait.
Given Sprint's recent track record, we might have it early as well. They have been the first to release updates to flagships a few times lately.
And who said it would be lollipop? The fact that they haven't announced a dessert indicates that they may be trying to work out another sponsorship deal (lemonhead? life saver?).
It could be licorice, laffy taffy, lemon merengue pie, etc.

Ever since I started working for Sprint as a tech I've never seen any other carriers bring updates as fast as them. I had att when I first joined rocking note 3 so when Kit Kat was released I seen it release for sprint then waited 3 month to get my update plus all the locked bootloader blah blah... blah... I hate att as a customer standpoint can't wait for tmo and sprint to join.

Doesn't matter which carrier is the fastest at releasing it, it still doesn't change the fact that all that means is we have to wait after Sprint gets their hands on it. Right? If you want to talk about which carriers are the fastest at releasing go ahead and do so without quoting me and trying to make an invalid point, thanks!
I hope they make it Lifesavers.

The carrier piece will most likely be part of the 90 days. Verizon and AT&T will be the longest and may go a little beyond that but HTC has been good lately at getting code out of their shop in 30 days and getting the first runs to carriers.
Like anything else time will tell...

AT&T UCU2AOA1 4.4.4 Fail!

UCU2AOA1 4.4.4 Fail!
First off Android 4.4.4 has been out since June of 2014 (thanks for the speedy update AT&T) wouldn't you think this would have been an update that fixes any previous issues and possibly improved upon? 8 Months later... UCU2AOA1 4.4.4
The camera does not make an audible noise and does not turn green anymore when in focus.
The gallery app has text overflowing if the album has long characters.
App drawer lags every time you scroll a page.

Remote Support GTFO out of my phone!
Also have a look at your application manager under all, you will see a lot of new things that were never there before and it's not just for the Android 4.4.4 update. Be sure to check out the one that looks like a white pacman ghost (Sorry forgot the name of it) NSA?
487MB of pure garbage!
Thanks AT&T for more bloatware and bugs when Lollipop has been out since November 2014 .

I'm so sick of this crap that this is the last subsidised phone I'll bother with. Sadly, AT&Ts network is the best for me as far as service goes. There's no point in taking their phones, though. The meager savings are not worth the hassle.

fwiw, if you didn't buy one outright before, you probably ended paying more than full retail for it over the lifetime of a 2 yr contract. probably.
and yes, locked BL is a PITA for those who want to play. it's nothing new though, and att apparently has a history.

I think it should be illegal, they are infringing on owners of their phones. Not to their software and at their will. I made the sad sad mistake of picking up an unlocked att s5 and I'm on T-Mobile service since att phones work and I had an s3 running on 5.0.2 for months and loved it so I got this phone with intentions of running a custom ROM because that is what android is all about and after purchasing the hardware I should legally be able to use any software I'd like, not the previous service provider. Does that sound unreasonable?
Depends on the agreement made when buying the phone. Its all very on the second hand market because I'm not sure what the original contract states ... I would not be surprised to find very restrictive verbiage in the AT&T contract, whether enforceable or not.
The true solution is to look to the vendors selling open devices from the beginning and stay with them. Unfortunately this will almost always rule out true leading hardware devices as the prime carriers will lock them up.

I ****ing knew it
This is great news! I've always has awful battery life on lolipop and kitkat so hopefully marshmallow will improve things. As far as root goes, you should just be able to flash TWRP than systemless SuperSU or a modified boot image.
Wow! I'm so excited for this! The first thing I'm going to do is apply the work around for adoptive storage hehe

I am not sure in what way the Knox system prevents you from doing anything to your device. The Knox does not prevent you from rooting the device, installing TWRP, or from flashing roms. Samsung often calls Knox the "warranty bit", but that's a bull name that has no legal meaning.
I'm happy to hear that the marshmallow update is coming to this tablet. I have the 32gb version and I really like it. I had the nexus 7 2013 before this and tried some other tablets that have the marshmallow update like the Nvidia shield but I enjoy this tablet more. Coupled with a 128GB SD Card, I have a plethora of movies and books on it.
