So My Friends Have Been Telling Me To Get Root And Telling Me All The Benefits It Allows Me To Have.

I Was Looking To Root My Phone But I First Need To Unlock Bootloader First. My Phone Is A Samsung Galaxy S7 Running Oreo Sm-G930V. If Anyone Has The Answer To Unlock Bootloader On My Phone That Would Be Great.

Checking Replies When I Wake Up In The Morning
 
And If Someone Does Have The Answer
Would You Please Tell Me How To Make A Backup Of My Phone To. Please And Thank You👌
 
Unless you really need an app that requires root, ther's little point in rooting these days. Unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom recovery like TWRP - definitely worth it, as your phone has a very active development community, who have ported Android 9 Pie to the phone. I doubt if Samsung will ever provide that.
Oh, and if you do decide to root, please use Magisk as it doesnt' mess with the system partition (which may cause problems with some of Android's or Samsung's security features.
 
Rooting is too much of a hassle, banking, work, and streaming apps will not function once rooted. If your not proficient with rooting just leave it alone

yeah hold on that guide is from 2016

here try this one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-s7-s7edge-oreo-nougat-t3819616

they main thing is if you want info on how to root or anything root related, head on over to xda. it is a developer forum where most devs publish their goodies.

and always read, read, read, read, then read some more, and finally ask questions here if you have any.

good luck
 
I'm not seeing the bootloader unlocking + ROM flashing as even possible, being a VZW device. They're very discriminatory against ROM development.. You'd need an International version with the Exynos chip.

Thats why i stopped supporting Samsung because they dont want no one rooting their devices!
 
I've heard people complaining their bank don't work if rooted..I've also rooted my T-Mobile Note5 a while ago..and the bank worked flawlessly.

What's the truth???

Magisk is a whole another animal vs SuperSU and the MagiskHide capability can sometimes work
