After the Note 7 has been exploding widely and Samsung stop manufacturing more from it people went to get the previous phone from Samsung,S7 Edge.So I made this tutorial to benefit you guys and guide you to the right way to root your S7 Edge!
After I tried many ways to root my phone and got stuck at some,bricked at another,and boot-loop on some I wen to search more and more until I tried this method last night and got my phone rooted in about 5 minutes!!
No No No I didn't use any of those funny one click root apps,I just flashed TWRP using ODIN then flashed the SuperSU from the recovery !!
Please do not do anything from your mind,watch the video to know how to to that because Odin is usually dangerous!
WARNING #1: Flashing a custom recovery to your device will trip the Knox warranty bit on your phone. Check with your mobile provider to see if they will still cover warranty on Knox bit triggered devices. If you understand this risk, continue on.
You generally don't have to worry, as it's incredibly hard to brick a Samsung device, and physical damage warranties should be exempt from Knox triggering.
WARNING #2: The Galaxy S7 stock boot image has dm-verity, which prevents you from booting if you swipe to enable system modifications!
SOLUTION: Follow the full rooting steps below, in order, to allow system modifications without the risk of a boot loop!

Go to [Wipe] -> [Format Data] (not advanced wipe) -> type "yes".

- If you want to be rooted with SuperSU:
Download the latest SuperSU by Chainfire.
