Is there any way to root an s7 active(model number G891A)?? It’s at&t exclusive android 6.0.1 so I know the bootloader is locked. I saw this tutorial, but I don’t really understand how bypassing the secure hash algorithm let’s you flash write to the system. Anyway, this tutorial only says s7 and s7 edge for at&t, will it work for my s7 active?? I really don’t wanna brick it ito an 800 dollar phone and I got 200 dollars worth of accessories. Thanks for your help :]
