Following Samsung’s Android 7.0 Nougat update for many of its devices like the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, S6, S6 Edge, and the S6 Edge Plus, Note 5, and much more, rooting the firmware update was first on everyone’s mind. However, it wasn’t that difficult though as TWRP and SuperSU 2.79 were already compatible with Android 7.0. Chainfire, the man behind CFAR has updated hundreds of Auto-Root binaries for most of the Samsung smartphones running on Nougat.
What is CFAR CF-Auto-Root? CFAR is by far the safest way to root Samsung devices with an automated process. It comes with Odin flashable SuperSU binaries and APK packages that does only one thing- which is root. So no need to go through the hassle of installing TWRP, Magisk modules, and custom Kernels that may trip Knox counter on your device. CFAR keeps the stock TouchWiz experience intact as well as the stock recovery.
Auto-Root binaries are now being updated to bring root access for stock TouchWiz ROMS based on Android 7.0 Nougat; which is now called Samsung Experience for the listed phones. This includes Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus, S7, S7 Edge, S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge Plus, Note 5, Galaxy Tab S3, and much more.
