This is the correct and latest post, which will allow you to flash and root the unbranded firmware, so you can use ANY US sim card as long as the phone is unlocked. Verizon comes unlocked already, and the firmware will switch to your particular carrier automatically upon insertion of the sim card.

Follow this rooting guide carefully, do not skip any steps!!

And the usual disclaimer: Proceed at your own risk!!

Warning: All your data will be erased, so back up anything important!!

This guide contains the latest version files as of today.

1.

First, turn on ADB-Debug and OEM-Unlock in the Developer Options menu in order to avoid being locked out later on (search for it if you need help).

2.

Next, it's best to start by flashing a full stock, bloat-free, unbranded firmware "U".

Use the patched Odin at the end of this post to flash AP, BL, CP, CSC (select the non-Home file), and the PIT file in the PIT tab.

Due to implementation of the new RMM security, I would not recommend flashing anything newer than Jan. 2018 as outlined here.

3.

Next, in order to avoid the annoying boot-loop issue, run this script before flashing the eng-boot to disable Samsung's Security+OTA.

Some commands may show an error, which is fine since this is a generic script for many different models.

Turn on ADB-Debug and OEM-Unlock in the Developer Options menu in order to avoid being locked out later on (search for it if you need help).

Unzip it and run the _Samsung_Security+OTA_Disabler_(BillA_v2018-01-01).BAT file which should be at top of the folder.

4.

Next, use the patched Odin at the end of this post to flash your phone's matching eng-boot file.

5.

At this point leave the phone untouched for about half an hour to stabilize the kernel, don't touch it and just wait patiently.

Turn on ADB-Debug and OEM-Unlock in the Developer Options menu in order to avoid being locked out later on (search for it if you need help).

Finally, to complete the rooting process, unzip and run the Root.bat file to install SuperSU (Magisk in not recommended at this time, courtesy of JRKruse).

This is the only method that worked to root my phone. Thank you so much!

Any suggestions on how to get TWRP loaded on so I can install some custom oreo roms?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] billa:
Since the bootloader is locked on the US Qualcomm based S7/S7edge, unfortunately there is no custom recovery option such as TWRP available at this time, and quite possible for the foreseeable future.

The only option for now is to get the G93x"F" international version which has an unlocked bootloader and you can readily flash any custom recovery.

Note that the international version is based on the Exynos chip, therefore it will not work on CDMA/LTE carriers such as Verizon, but work fine on any GSM like ATT and TMO.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] mojorisin7178:
So from what I am reading it looks like you can root this phone but no twrp is that correct? Or can you install twrp and magisk but it will trip the Knox counter? Because I really don't care about the Knox counter. This is my son's phone and the software experience is awful. I want AOSP. If not then I'll just tell him to get a pixel XL I guess
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Cyb3rk1ll:
Your post is a little old and not sure if you will see this or not. You can indeed root the phone, the root process is complex and has many additional steps, such as tweaking the kernel. There is no trwp or magisk due to the bootloader being locked. A Pixel 2 or 3 would be great phones that are easily customizable and have a large selection of roms available, that being said there are less publicly know devices that have great development and specs, such as the One Plus series, and even some of the Asus Zenfones. Ultimately I hope u find the device that's best for u and him. Oh if you go with a Pixel 3 or OnePlus 6t since they are some of the nicest phones about to hit the market, wait a month or two after release and read reviews to ensure there are no hardware bugs or failures.

Once you have unlocked the network from ATT, all you have to do is flash the non-customized "U" firmware below, which will work fine on both GSM-LTE and Verizon CDMA-LTE signals (as long as the network is unlocked).

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] billa:
Your system and rootfs r/w remount has failed, therefore everything after that will fail too.

As noobiedev83 has mentioned, looks like your rooted boot file didn't flash properly, causing all the subsequent issues.

Make sure to flash the correct version of the boot file, S7 = G930x or S7Edge = G935x

To fix the wifi password disconnect

download esfiles and enable root explorer and go to device then go into system folder and then find a file called build.prop and edit it and change

ro.securestorage.support=true to ro.securestorage.support=false

it should then remember the password every time you restart
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] corey113888:
Interactive is the default govener in the stock roms.

Here is what I found so far:

the VOLTE and other icon disappeared after I was stuck at the tmoble white screen and then had to flash back to stock and re-root.

Had to set kernel govener to int3ractive after root.

After factory reset flashing back to stock PD8 I can't get the symbol previews (for tap and hold on keyboard) to work on the Samsung keyboard. No wories I can use swift kb.

Getting phone into bootloader and stock recovery, it seem much harder to get this phone into recovery (for factory reset) then boot loader. I found the best way was to go into bootloader first (press and hold vol down + home + pwr) then once in bootloader u can go into recovery quicker (hold vol up + home + pwr for a bit). Maybe I am just not familiar with Samsung, I came from HTC devices.

What file am I supposed to flash to go back to stock?

I flashed the rooted boot.img but can't get passed the T-mobile splash screen.

I re-enabled all disabled apps before flashing.

I can't get into recovery.

I can only get into download mode.

I downloaded the rooted boot again, from a different source, and tried flashing that, but get the same result.

I downloaded the stock firmware, unzipped it, and flashed the file "home", but it is still getting stuck at the T-Mobile splash screen.

I updated to PD8 before trying to flash the rooted boot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] billa:
TWRP is not gonna happen till someone also leaks an eng-ABOOT. The bootloader is still locked so no custom recoveries for now.

The eng-BOOT doesn't trip Knox because it's factory signed, and being "generic" it does have some quirks like WiFi pass loss etc. but most can be worked round.

Hello All,

I am using Samsung Note 3 Neo, unfortunately I have struck up with bootloop.

Any help on issue is greatly appreciated.

Is your phone a Note 3 or a Note 3 Neo? These phones are two different variants.

Can you access download mode? (Phone off, press volume minus + home key + power at the same time until you see the phone starting to ask you if you want to procceed to access to download mode)

If yes, your model number is written at the top, download the latest firmware available for your phone model on samfirmware and flash it using odin, follow a tutorial if you are unsure cause you don't wana mess your phone up more that it already is.

If it cannot access download mode, this is gonna be a bit more complicated :/

I have the 1st gen Watch Urbane. I had a Pebble time before that. One cool function it had was that, if the watch was idle for more than 30 mins (which basically means when you are not wearing it) it would go to sleep mode and disconnect itself from the phone. It would save a good deal of battery power both on the phone and the watch. Who needs watch notification when not wearing it?

bookworth is right, the difference in speed between the internal memory and the sd card with make it go slower not faster.
