Samsung has released the update for Galaxy Note 7 devices that limits battery charging to 60 and later to 30% also bringing recall message on the screen. This basically makes Galaxy Note 7 unusable and force users to return their phones so they can get money back. Please read this article for more.

Lately Samsung got plenty of trouble on its way with the Galaxy Note 7 exploding battery and recall, a mistake that cost the firm $1.5 billion and that is a lot.
Now, talking about the Android N update, expect that to be delayed due to Galaxy Note 7 blunder. But in addition Samsung is expecting at least an extra two or three months development time on top of its usual Android N update release for the Galaxy Note 7, knowing how complicated it will be tying together new Android 7 features with the Galaxy Note 7’s new functionality and S-Pen features.

However, Galaxy S7 and Note 7 flagship series is in a mass testing phase, preparing for the software update. That means there’s a good few months left of development process though, remembering how long it took to roll out Android M update for the Galaxy S6. It was 5 about months, so we’re looking forward for the update to show up in Q1 2017. Both 7-th series Samsung devices should get the update at the same time.

According to the company’s latest news, Samsung will introduce the Galaxy Note 7’s new “Grace UX” to the Galaxy S7 series when the Android 7.0 update lands. According to the details, the new update will include Google’s Android N changes as well as new features added by the brand new “Grace” user experience. On top of this, some features from the Galaxy Note 7 will also be moved across, including new Always On function for the display. Furthermore, Android 7.0 build has been much improved, delivering smoother performance on the Galaxy S7 series compared to the latest Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow version currently available on all regions.

No indication yet if Android N will be landing on older Samsung flagship phones like the Galaxy S6 generation, but if history repeats itself, then older models may possibly get the update.

Compatible Tab A 9.7 models are listed below:

SM-T550
SM-T555
SM-P550
SM-P555

Before you start, please check if your Galaxy Tab A 9.7 model is supported by going to Settings/About Phone

Warning: Rooting voids device’s warranty. You should proceed at your own risk.
Before proceeding, please read the comments section below.
Please note that warranty can be restored by flashing back any of the supported stock ROMs.
Root will not erase device internal storage or SD memory card, but it’s still strongly recommended to back up all data before getting started.

Prerequisites:
• The device should have at least 60% charge left on the battery.
• If you have Samsung Kies in PC, it should be completely turned off to not disturb all the process.
• USB drivers must be installed. Skip this step if you have Samsung Kies, it already comes with the necessary drivers.
• USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking must be enabled on the device. To enable it go to Settings/About phone and keep taping on Build number until you see Developer mode has been turned on. After that go to Settings/Developer Options then check USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking (this enables bootloader to be unlocked).

Tutorial:

Using PC download CF Auto Root file depending on your device model:
• SM-T550
• SM-T555
• SM-P550
• SM-P555
If there’s a zip file, extract it. You should find a .tar.md5 file and the Odin3-v3.10.6.exe included.
If you got a autoroot.tar file only, do not extract it. Just download Odin3 v3.10.7 separately.
Turn off Galaxy Tab A 9.7 and boot in to Download mode by pressing and holding down the Volume Down, Home and Power buttons together. When a warning screen is displayed release all buttons and press the Volume Up button to enter Download mode.

Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge is the latest and most powerful Samsung’s flagship devices. Shortly after they were released, a root method became available. Thanks to legendary root developer Chainfire, both phones are about to get even more powerful.

Warning: This rooting method works by unlocking device’s bootloader, which will void a warranty. If your bootloader is not already unlocked, during the unlock process phone’s internal storage will be erased. So it’s strongly recommended to backup data to sd card or PC.
Beside, this process will trip KNOX. This means that Samsung Pay will no longer work.
All U.S. carrier variants of the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge have bootloaders that cannot be unlocked. Which means that this rooting method will not work. It will also not work on any Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge model having a Snapdragon 820 processor.

Please consider all the warnings before proceeding.

If your device is one that can be rooted, then it’s time to get started.

Prerequisites:
• The device should have at least 60% charge left on the battery.
• If you have Samsung Kies program in PC, Kies should be completely turned off to not disturb all the process.
• USB drivers must be installed on PC (if Kies are in PC then drivers are already installed).
• USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking must be enabled on the device. To enable it go to Settings/About phone and keep taping on Build number until you see Developer mode has been turned on. After that go to Settings/Developer Options then check USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking (this enables bootloader to be unlocked).

Tutorial:
1. Using PC download and extract CF Auto Root file depending on your device model:

2. Turn off Galaxy and boot in to Download mode by pressing and holding down the Volume Down, Home and Power buttons together. When a warning screen is displayed release all buttons and press the Volume Up button to enter Download mode.
3. Go to extracted folder and run Odin3-v3.10.6.exe as Administrator.
4. Connect Galaxy to the PC via USB cable. Message showing Added!! will appear in Odin’s message box, if not, try another USB port. If the issue persists, try reinstalling the USB driver.
5. Click on the AP button and select the CF-Auto-Root file (a .tar.md5 file), which was extracted in step 1.
6. In Odin, make sure that the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time options are checked while Re-Partition must stay unchecked.
6.1 Click Start button in Odin to begin the process.
6.2. After the process is complete, Galaxy will restart and a PASS message with green background will appear in the left box at the top of Odin.
7. Turn off Odin and unplug USB cable from device.
8. SuperSU app will be seen on the screen.

Congratulations for successfully rooting Galaxy S7!
