How to Root Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge all models.

Samsung has made a handset that packs great battery smarts, excellent camera abilities and loads of raw power into an increasingly affordable package. But due to some battery issues, the Galaxy S7 sales took a great hit & completely lost the market & trust. Soon after that, Samsung released a new version of Galaxy S7 & S7 Edge. Things were improved upto an extent but not much. I believe rooting my Samsung Galaxy S7 edge was the best decision I have ever made. I have underclocked by CPU to avoid any heating & stay safe.

Android Rooting opens up too many doors for your device. You can choose between Performance, customization or both. Installing a Custom ROM, Xposed & Overclocking/underclocking as some of the advantages of Rooting. Although I won’t suggest overclocking Galaxy S7 series CPU as they are already prone to heat. So without thinking much, let’s just jump on to the Rooting procedure.

Step 2. Now run “root.bat” from “SuperSU-v2.76-S7QC”. Your device will reboot after completion. (If running “root.bat” briefly flashes another command window then your PC is most likely not given USB Debugging authorization or the cable is unplugged or ADB didn’t install properly or corrupted.)

Step 3. If the “root.bat” file has been run completely then your device will reboot itself. Once it reboots, you might be prompted my SuperSU that your binaries are outdated. Dismiss this and do not update. Chainfire has not given any support to this build yet. It might be given in future. 

Step 4. On your device, locate SuperSU app and tap on settings. Find Security option and tap on “Enable su during boot”. This will run the superuser script everytime you boot up your device.
