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.
• 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).
