SM-G935F (S7 Edge - Exynos) successfully unlock after some hiccups - GSM-Forum

blu angel · 03-21-2016, 21:38

For rooting use CF-Auto-Root for SM-G935F that can be found on REPO but recommended to use ODIN 3.10.7 when flashing.

After flashing with CF root phone might be not responsive for about 3-5 minutes, don't panic, just patiently wait until it boots. it might also reboot few times during rooting.

WARNING: Do not use root on QUALCOMM based S7's. Root method is only available for EXYNOS Chipsets at the moment.

Another way is to use TWRP+latest superSU (Not tested by me) But it should work as it was already tested on XDA.

Now after rooting, to be safe use read codes as when I try direct unlock IMEI went to 00000's lucky that I got the backup for NV data. So before you do unlocking it's safe to backup EFS+Cert.

Here's the log.

Also: CF-Auto-Root

Before flashing , make sure you have enabled "OEM unlock" from "Developer Settings"..

Happy Unlocking!!

All new S7/s7 edge for north America have lock bootloader, there may not be a root for a long time. People need to send a message to Samsung and return these phones.

Samsung is starting to behave like Apple, What pisses me off the most is that, they locked all North America phones bootloader, and leave all international version with unlock bootloader.
