AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 G930A Root Install Instructions?

If anybody can put up a step-by-step guide, or a video that shows how to properly install it all, I'm sure myself, and much of the community would appreciate it.


Recently, my laptop that I had ADB, and every tool imaginable for Androids, and specifically the Galaxy Series, took a huge dump on me and I lost it all. I installed it so long ago, that embarrassingly I've forgotten how I did it all. If someone could post how they rooted their GS7 (non-edge variant), I would be very appreciative. And I'm sure much of the community would be too. I'm embarrassed to even have to ask as someone who used to formerly develop mods on phones. But it is what it is. It's been so long since I've set it all up, and I've had to do so much since that time that I've simply forgotten how I did it/how to do it. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you ahead of time...

Full easy instructions for running os remix off usb stick without errors

This is a working usb install media creator method for os remix installation circumventing all known errors made for noobs including USING full drive internal storage space etc.

You will be able to use this usb stick for future creation of other usb install media

you will have the choice to also install to hard drive

you will need 2 x usb drives and require drive write speed to be higher than 10 mb/s

the first drive will be the installer drive and the second will be the actual usb drive used to run remix os.

For first drive basic fat 32 install you will need rufus 2.9 usb boot media creator

after creation of the installer drive keep it safe i reccommend you use a 4gb drive /£2 off ebay but get something thats got a write speed higher than 10 mb/s or else install will fail!

Format the second drive to your liking ext 4 for example on your pc with minitool partition or acronis disk manager (make sure the drive is formatted as primary and set to active flag)



1. Create fat 32 usb boot disk with first usb drive and rufus 2.9 and the remix os iso
2.make sure after creation you boot up the usb drive and enter remix os
3.make sure you dont boot up the ufi version of the boot up, only use the legacy version (it will have ufi next to boot drive in bios usb boot up list)
4.after you enter remix os go to settings and download the update (ota) (this is the main fix)(if this update fails you cannot proceed further with instructions)
5. After ota update reboot and enter remix os again and let android upgrade
6.after this stage is complete your fat32 remix os usb bootable drive is ready to create a usb drive that runs remix os from the drive itself.
7.insert the second drive in a usb hub and boot up the computer with both drives in the computer and boot from the first drive (the usb remix os installer drive)
8.boot up and at the grub boot menu (it should look blue with yellow writing not the black ufi version) press tab and type: INSTALL=1
9. You will enter usb media creation menu select scan usb drives and select the second drive (the remix os running drive)
10. It will ask you what you want to format the drive as so select do not format option (becus you already formatted it)
11.then it will ask you to install first grub boot menu say yes
12. Then it will ask you to install second boot grub efi menu say yes
13. Next it will ask you if you want to format the boot partition or something like that say *** no ***
14. Then it will ask you if you want read/write privelage say yes
15. It will proceed to write the remix os onto the drive
16. When finished it will ask to restart (at this point i just switch the pc off by holding power button then restart and boot off the new second drive to run the os from it already upgraded too)



note: If wanting ntfs version of remix os then its a little complicated than this and you will need to use imgtools to increase the data.img file on the ntfs drive after creation with the first usb media creator drive.

The remix os ota update addresses the boot media creation errors. After the ota update all drives created with the grub menu installer boot up as they should but only ufi boot up option hangs!



Hope this helps hit the thanks dont forget so i know how many people were helped by this and if thats high i will continue helping happily! enjoy.

I have the ative pc pro xe700t1c the uk version with intel core i5 quad core and its also a convertible tablet with msata ssd as hdd drive and as you all probbaly know android was created for fast flash memory and linux format os so the best combination is an ssd and ext4 linux file format. I have a 64gb 544 mb/s msata drive in a usb 3.0 enclosure which i use to boot remix os and run it off it. Its perfectly smooth and fast enough and the ativ pc pro convertible laptop/tablet is fully compatible hadware software wise, no problems at all.

just got a new note 4 want to verify instructions

So basically first I should update to MM

after that use this guide to root and install custom recovery

http://forum.xda-developers.com/note...ih-cf-t2903733

After that can I use any rom in snapdragon section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev

or can I only use note 4 tmobile roms?

I use it internationally so I dont care about wifi calling

am I missing anything I used to use an htc device so I am not sure how samsungs work.

ALE-L21 dialer crashing following MEGA thread instructions

nevermind, sorry

Most up to date Rooting instructions?

OK so , I'm coming from having an HTC One M7 for the last 2 years to the Sprint A9, 1.60.651.4 , I've already unlocked the boot loader through htcdev, I've downloaded Captain Throwbacks most recent TWRP, but I'm new to Marshmallow,, and I'm seeing all these different things about system/ systemless root, patching boot.img, encryption, and it's all jumbling together and getting me all confused to say the least...
Can anybody point me in the direction of the best / most up to date guide on how to root my Sprint A9? I'm used to just flashing TWRP and then flashing SuperSU, I may be over-analyzing things, but it all seems so much more complicated now, any help would be appreciated!
