I got PIA firmware in October and PK1 On November 7. I Believe the article stated that the latter one (PK1) contains the 4x4 NIMO - not the earlier one.

It is more a matter of how much updating of the towers has been done.

I had been able to get 60Mbps earlier, but now &^&&^% TMo has me down to 6 this AM. Even thought they stated they would have all towers updated by the end of October - they lied - still apparently working on them (have talked to tech support twice about this and they pointed at work still being done locally).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] faslane:
This can and can't apply to root so I posted it here also since there's been a lot of talk regarding the U firmware in here as well as root for it and others: If you're missing your LTE icon and it keeps going back to 4G on any firmware...read on. I figured out whay and how to avoid it or change it back...

Hey for what it's worth....I flashed the U firmware and the APK1 modem for Tmobile and noticed after awhile I had lost my LTE icon and it defaulted to 4G (which is the same speed-wise, I just like the LTE icon better) and I just figured out what causes this.

The GoodLock app from the Galaxy Apps store.

I just installed it and noticed 4G icon back again after reboot again because I actually do Love the GoogdLock app so I uninstalled and it rebooted automatically like it always has and lo and behold my LTE icon was back. da da!!! So.... if you like your LTE icon and aren't sure why it's disappearing on you if it is, and are running GoodLock.... that is the answer. Either put up with 4G icon (Which 'm going to because I love the good lock app because it makes the notifications and pull down bar much cooler and more accessible to settings etc.) or uninstall it and have your LTE icon. I also reported it to GoodLock as a fueature setting to be able to choose LTE or 4G as an icon but essentially they are the same exact thing speed-wise., some just like the LTE icon more than 4G and vice-versa...

That it all ;)

You sure do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
The OP is pretty straight forward. Read it again, and then download the links it gives you.

Read again and start - one step at a time. You can root any of the TMo firmwares up to the present PK1 - but start with whay you are running on you phone right now (except the new 7.0 Beta - it won't work on 7.0 - jus 6.0 firmware).

I have crashed my setup several times and have had to go back to stock and re-root. Since you are probably on stock, after setting up ODIN and ADB and the files you need to flash, it only takes a few minutes. When you ADB SuperSU - let it alone for a few minutes - sometimes it takes several before it actually finishes, so don't interrupt it.

Good luck

Does the root for the SM-G935T still cause lag & overheating issues?

Any idea what's causing it?

---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 PM ----------

Yea, happens to me too. It's Smart Manager that's causing that to happen. You can disable the notifications for that app to stop it from appearing all the time.

Sorry guys, I haven't been active or watching the thread for a while. I moved along to the LG-V20, If there is any better methods of bugfixes. Please pm me so I can update the thread and give credit where it is due. I also wouldn't mind if a mod gave this thread to another reputable member to keep updated etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] qwewqa:
Yes, it still does, though there is a common fixes thread to help mitigate these issues. The lag and heating are caused by the leaked eng kernel that wasn't meant to be used in day to day usage (eng mean engineering and is for debugging, hence the root). There currently isn't any way to avoid using the eng kernel like. I'm rooted though, and I've been able to get smooth performance and low heating through fixes.

Any one who is rooted with the eng dev kernel want to try to unlock the bootloader

Fastboot oem unlock

you may need to edit your buildprop.ini to make the android think its on a debug build. I don't think we can do this because dm-verity is enabled.

How to do a full back up of phone

Hey. Newbie here. I want to root my tmobile s7 edge but also need help making a back up. I just want a way to put it completely back to normal just in case something happens and I need to use the warranty to fix it. I know i would have to reset the flash counter also. Help with how to do this please. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] swapy123:
To backup your data use smart switch.

You can odin stock firmware incase of any problem during or after rooting.

Also start fresh before rooting.

I am at a loss here... Rooted just fine, got everything setup and had been working perfect for about a week. Rebooted several times over the past week. I reboot this morning and I am stuck at the Tmo screen with the error code vibration. Any thoughts on what could have caused this and anything that can be done so I don't need to start over?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] nitroevo:
I had a similar issue before without the error code but was stuck at the Samsung screen itself and it kept doing the vibration. My issue was I installed an xposed module that supposedly should have worked fine for marshmallow and that was the cause. Did you install any xposed modules within that time? If so which one
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] trswyo:
Thanks for the reply. I did not install exposed. I left everything as-is other than some minor tweaks from another post for general performance related issues (Busybox, Kernel Toolkit, L Speed and sEFix). I also disabled auto-updates from Google. Tried to play this one as safe as possible. Not the end of the world if I have to start all over, just hoping not too, but would like to try and figure out what I did so I don't repeat it.

How are your connected ? And if you followed directions, you would only have to issue one command to do the installation - per the OP - read it again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] DLG4868:
LOl thanks, I did only issue the root.bat command all that quoted text and more is what comes up.

Thanks for the feed back though...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] anrchy666:
Once it started did you answer the pop up on phone. Sounds like your computer is not seeing phone try new usb cable or reinstall drivers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
As it did not recognize "adb" command there is either a connection problem or and itself - probably the latter. It definitely is not the supersu set-up script.

Have you used adb on your current computer before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Coffincolors:
I realize this is one of those seemingly dumb questions but what is the best method to unroot and restore my phone completely to its default state? I followed the guide and got everything running perfectly, thank you Mastajeff, but now I'm curious because I flashed that Samsung_G935x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR file and I'm wondering if once I restore the stock firmware from this thread will it completely overwrite whatever changes I've made (EDIT: Because I want it to!)? And will my splash screen stop saying "custom" once I do that? I can't seem to find a clear answer as far as what settings in Odin to use when restoring a ROM, so if someone just point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it! I would keep root usually but I've determined there is no way to use a Dualshock 4 over bluetooth with S7 Edge which is the main reason I rooted in the first place. I also read on another post in this thread that this root method did not trip the Knox counter... so I'm wondering if I will still be able to use to Samsung Pay once I revert back to stock with factory settings?? (For the record I do think I found an answer to this question earlier in this thread but double verification doesn't hurt..) I didn't want to make a new thread for this and I want to make sure I'm unrooting the phone the safest way possible considering I followed the steps in this guide. Thanks again :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] allenjthomsen:
The only way i know to do what your asking is completly restoring stock which will leave you with all apps that you deleted i myself have tried to find multiple differnt ways to flash stock kernel so i could keep my changes that i made with no luck so its either rooted or completly stock as far as i can tell.

Wish i could help you find another way but there is package disabler pro which works great to disable apps that you dont want
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Coffincolors:
Oh no, honestly I don't mind getting those apps back! All I want is to completely go back to clean stock. I just don't know what the safest is to go about doing it. So far I've downloaded what I think is the latest stockfirmware from my phone- I just don't know which files to flash using Odin... or if it will trigger the Knox counter, or hard brick my phone because I flash the bootloader (which i read has happened) and I would really like to remove the "custom" text from the boot splash screen. Here is a link to some screenshots to give you an idea of where I'm at https://imgur.com/a/8KqiZ
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Binary100100:
If you run the engineering kernel used to root your device then it'll say "CUSTOM" on it.

According to the screenshots which you have provided, it still says "-eng" on the kernel version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Coffincolors:
So once I flash those stock rom files it should technically restore the original kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
Yes - all traces of the eng kernel will be gone. If you use latest stock (PK1), you will be flashing latest bootloader and no going back to earlier bootloader.

Bootloader is LOCKED which means that NOTHING can be flashed unless it's authentic.

He pretended that he was trying to get it for us but think it was just to placate us but not really do anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Binary100100:
Exactly.

We get an unlocked bootloader then we find a way around unmetered tethering, faster speeds, sim unlocking etc. All of which takes profit from T-Mobile. While 99% of their customers probably wouldn't do such... there is absolutely nothing to gain from them giving us what we want. So why even bother trying?

Questions. Does PD8 really help?

Good Morning Ladies and Gents,

This was my first time rooting a device since the Galaxy Nexus.

I have a few issues and would appreciate your help.

Phone Lag is pretty bad

Lock Screen Lag is atrocious! 3 seconds after reading my finger print

I have to manually log into my home and work WiFi every single time

The phone heats up quite a bit

Not able to use Samsung Pay (Not a big deal)

I read of a few fixes, but there were no clear answers.

Installing PD8 has been known to solve a couple of these issues for some.

Questions:

How do I know if I have PD6 or PD8?

Should I re-ODIN PD8 while on root? or return to stock and then ODIN PD8 before rooting?

Are there any other fixes for the lag?

How can I stop the WiFi networks from resetting every time they disconnect?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] DOMF:
Really, the best(only?) way to get rid of lag of you want root is to flash the U firmware (there's a few threads now on doing this) then rooting, then following every step in the post-root bugs/fixes thread. It addresses most of the issues you mentioned (except Samsung Pay, you're S.O.L. on that one)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] HeatOfLisboa67:
OK so I claimed insurance and got a brand new S7 edge for £75 bonus was mines was locked to o2 and they gave me a sim free handset in its place yay!... So I restored everything got all my apps and contacts back and in doing so it has restored super su can I now root without odin or is there another way to do it from the handset?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Binary100100:
You MUST use ODIN to root.

No other way. PC is required.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] HeatOfLisboa67:
935f
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
Then go to international S7E forums - your bootloader is not locked so I think there is a straightforward procedure that doesn't require ODIN.

I am so disappointed at the lack of any development here I will probably get a 935f also.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] TabletGeek:
In case additional hurdles would be put in place to prevent rooting, I had blocked OTA updates on my GS7e; so I currently remain on BB/BL APD7 (G935TUVU2APD7). I'm now planning to flash "U" firmware (APL4) and the latest TMO APK1 modem. Are there disadvantages to updating the bootloader to APL4 (U version) versus remaining on APD7? It appears that APD7 was released with a v2 bootloader whereas APL4 was released with a v4 bootloader; so I am unsure if this combination will even work together. Although I've spent hours searching for this information, there are so many posts and situational changes since the release of the GS7e that I have been unable to clearly determine the status regarding changes to the B/L. I understand that Qualcomm S7 devices have locked bootloaders but there has also been some discussion regarding whether it is wise to update to the September release... which has me cautious about updating my bootloader. Due to current issues with S7 rooting, I am not planning to root my phone

yet

but I do not want to prevent the possibility for future rooting. Any guidance is appreciated!
