Root 7.0 Nougat Firmware on Galaxy S6 & S6 Edge with SuperSU

If you have updated your Samsung Galaxy S6 or S6 Edge to the official Android 7.0 Nougat TouchWiz firmware, you already know that you can install TWRP on your phone and enjoy all the benefits of a custom recovery.
Now, you can also root your phone using SuperSU, which is the most popular method of rooting your Android phone. It is the superuser management tool which grants root access to all apps that require it. If you want to root your phone, SuperSU is the way to go.
However, with the release of Nougat for the Galaxy S6, it stopped working because of incompatibility issues. When users tried to flash the file, it would get stuck at “Creating Image” and then the phone would get stuck in a bootloop.
Thankfully, developers over at the forums have modified the file to work properly with the Nougat firmware of the Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920F and S6 Edge SM-G925F. If you want to root your phone, follow the guide below.
