Read a few posts right before yours. We literally just posted the 2.76 update right there ;)

Also I have posted a far more comprehensive guide (for all Qualcomm S7/S7 Edge, not just Verizon) that may help if you get stuck again.

Sounds like you have secure boot/lock enabled. This root method requires that you disable it. You may want to check my guide in case there's anything else you missed.

Correct, only update from Chainfire's special builds for our phones. He posted an update to 2.76 for us yesterday.

You can't just flash my fix/debloater script and hope for magic -- you need to make sure you follow the rest of the suggestions in my guide, which is likely why you were stuck at the AT&T logo. I've had plenty of people report success from their AT&T S7 and S7 Edges, so let's start there.

(also: for what it's worth; yes I do have variants of my flashable updates that only perform fixes, no bloat removal -- I haven't posted them yet though, it's on today's to-do list)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jawonder:
I think maybe you didn't get what i was saying. I didn't just try to root, i was rooted from the first day root came out and i did all the necessary steps manually hap Xposed installed and was running great. Yesterday i mess with my SD card and also pushed the newer supersu over the one i had, then this morning i started to get crashes from some apps . I did a restart and that was when i got stuck on the AT&T screen . I did wiped cache and that didn't help so i had to do a factory reset .

I never used your script.

I'm up and running now after factory resetting and did most of the necessary stuff, just could find the script without the debloat.

I want to push supersu with adb when i get home and use your script so i don't have to do everything over again manually.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] buradd:
Thanks for this, I have some questions - if I was to run your fix/debloat script on my AT&T S7, i see that it disables and removes Knox stuff..

this doesn't trip the knox counter or void warranty right?

if I odin back to stock, all the knox comes back with it right?

thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Goronok:
I have not seen anyone complain about it tripping knox. It hasn't for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] psouza4:
Correct, Knox is not tripped -- and -- flashing stock back on your device restores Knox functionality (and thus warranty). As long as you can still flash back (Samsung phones are pretty hard to seriously brick), you will always have this option. There's also a root unlock for the Chinese variant (SM-G9x00) that works for our devices, but it does blow the eFuse, ruining Knox and doesn't unlock the bootloader, so stay away from that.

For the brave who want more, more, more, I just put out a more hardcore performance/battery tweak guide. The guide is not newbie-friendly and I'm offering no support/help with it, it's just there to help with people who are more comfortable tweaking their system and okay with restoring from stock if they screw up.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] psouza4:
Can't be done since our root occurs so late in the trust chain. Samsung Pay (a) requires secure boot which we can't use anymore and (b) does some deep digging to verify everything is still authentic. Sorry, man :)

So my google play store was crashing over and over despite me not even opening it. I restarted my phone and it now gets stuck at Verizon while booting. I don't recall changing, well, anything. I'd rather not factory reset again, any advice before I factory reset?

Mind you I had been using it while rooted fine for a few days now, even restarting the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] psouza4:
(a) you're in the AT&T thread (oops!)

(b) use my unroot guide, but instead of flashing the CSCS file "CSC_VZW_G930VVZW2APE1_CL7722939_QB9709794_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5", flash the HOME CSC file instead "HOME_CSC_VZW_G930VVZW2APE1_CL7722939_QB9709794_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5". Then go back and re-root. You should have all your data and sdcard files left alone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sh4d0ws1n:
My apologies, I joined this through a thread through an official post a while back so I didn't even know there was a Verizon one. It appears to have worked (optimizing apps now) so thank you very much.

EDIT: Seems to be stuck at booting again after using ODIN to apply the rootable AP thingy (I have no idea what that is).

EDIT2: Now I just can't install the Verizon fixes, check my posts for details.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] psouza4:
Nope, probably not. You could reboot the phone once just to be sure that it set everything correctly, but you're probably okay.

I replied to you in that thread. :)

Don't use 'ondemand', use 'interactive'. You'll see modest performance and very small battery benefit from doing so and is the default governor set in stock before flashing engboot.

Don't use a third-party tool to set your governor or other CPU settings. For example, Kernel Adiutor doesn't understand that our cores are in two clusters and isn't able to affect the second 2 cores at all, which means they'll still be locked at 'performance'. Additionally, you're missing dozens of other CPU settings that need to be tweaked, including enabling idling and power saving features. I posted about Kernel Aduitor on our device here if you want to read more.

Get rid of AnTuTu Battery Saver -- it'll probably do more harm than good.

Check my root guide for recommended next steps and flash the fixes (or fixes+debloater) appropriate for your device. Then check out my debloat guide and if you are really extreme and don't mind getting your hands dirty, my performance tweak guide.

What i Would like is to have a custom recovery and a custom rom but thats going to take time.

Right now i just like to go back to factory can any body help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mletchworth:
Did you do a factory reset in the recovery menu?

You might try flashing the eng kernel in ODIN again. I had my phone crash like that the first time I rooted it. Not sure what happened - started getting some app error messages so I decided to reboot, then it got stuck on the boot screen and got super hot. I tried factory resetting but that didn't work. Flashing the kernel again fixed it.

Oh, and I'm hoping for a custom ROM soon too. There's a debloated one in the T-mobile forum, so it shouldn't be too long. Don't think we'll get custom recovery because the bootloader is locked.

does anyone experience phone log after root? i even installed SetCPU on my G930U and set it on performance - cfq on boot. Any idea guys? If not, I will go unroot because I can't really stand this lag esp when I am typing on sms msg. It's like I tap faster on my keyboard than the phone actually reconginze and show those letters I type on screen. I assume to get unroot, I would need to connect to Kies and do a format. Correct?

This is going to sound like a weird question, but I was wondering if rooting my att s7 edge and removing all of the bloatware att/Samsung and unrooting would still let me use Samsung pay etc? I don't mind not having root but I'd be content with just having all of the bloatware gone so if I need something I'll install it myself. I'd rather just have more free space and no bloatware
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] psouza4:
Nope, the only flashable boot images will also throw bloat back on your device, that I'm aware of. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. And I know you can't just remove SuperSU/su binaries and call it good because the boot image drivers are rooted (engboot root or else su couldn't install to begin with).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] FilthyFord:
No it won't work. The only way to unroot is to reinstall the stock firmware using Odin and the stock firmware has all bloat in it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] adalex:
darn :/ I like using Samsung pay. I wish att would just push a update that allowed you to uninstall. I know they did that with one of the last updates for my s4. I had soft pay disabled and after an update I enabled it and when I tried clicking on it in the drawer it disappeared and said "this application is no long available". I got the impression the update uninstalled it. I'd even be happy if att gave you a update to remove all att stuff if you paid the phone off :/

I'm guessing the only other way is if someone can figure out a way to uninstall the att bloat and save it to reflash it? (assuming that's even possible)

There's still the remote possibility that someone gets it to work under root. Very remote possibility.

It's because Titanium doesn't have write access to the sd card. It can read, but not write. What is this something that changed with an Android from 5.0 up . You have to do the backup to internal card and then copy that folder either to your computer or use your computer to copy it to SD card.

The stock file you post here is the latest for AT&T ?. Would this prevent been stuck on AT&T boot screen after flashing the root file .

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] psouza4:
Maybe! I did try to grab the most recent firmware builds for each US carrier that I could find. If it's not the most recent (as of this post's date), it should be fairly close, within a month or so.

It can't hurt, although there's quite a few things that can get you stuck at that point.

Check Settings -> About phone to see what version you're currently on. The versions are in alphabetic order with the last two digits, so for example PA1 would be the earliest release and PE1 would be more recent. Some phones have PF2 available -- some carriers are faster at getting patches out than others, etc.

No, each carrier gets a base build and then modifies for their needs appropriately. Although since some carriers are slower than others at security patches, sometimes they jump from, say, PD1 to PF1 without getting a PE1 release (and the number is somewhat arbitrary, too, as a subrevision of the firmware build).
