Are you sure you're flashing the correct engboot kernel? G930 vs g935?

Other than that, are you sure have android 6 and not Nougat? Because this won't work on Nougat.

If still can't get past bootloop......you could try to odin U firmware, https://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/xda-community-love-g930u-t3415875/post67690684 then root that. Read through that entire op and thread because I'm not sure what revision of U firmware are available and also about switching back to stock cricket if things don't work out on U. But it should all work about the same otherwise.

Anyone else finding the 930a with PK1 laggy after root? Switching the governor to ondemand seems to help but it's still slow. Also waiting to see if the weekend kibosh hits again. I disabled the security updates this time so keeping fingers crossed. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Does this engineering boot give a root shell in adb or does it just allow system to be remounted writable?

We're trying to do something similar on the J120a as we have what apparently is the engineering boot and sboot.

Both have flashed fine, but we can't get a root shell.

Did you flashfire the v15 fix file from here https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galax...t-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039/post67605246 make sure you only do fix and do not debloat.

Will I be able to root my S7 Edge if the bootloader is locked. Its Android version 7.0

P.S. All the links in the guide are full of Malware. Please fix that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
Not yet no root for Nougat. The links work, they just have click ads and other adware that can make determining the correct button to click in the link difficult.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] RemixDeluxe:
Any way I can go back to 6.0 then or no because of the locked bootloader?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] FilthyFord:
Yes you can downgrade to PK1 firmware. Once there you can root. I'd recommend the stang5.0litre room 2 from the Verizon thread. Our if you just want root i highly recommend going to the Verizon forum and finding the V15 fixes in the guides sections.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
So it's really possible to go from Nougat back to pk1.....are they the same bootloader or something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] RemixDeluxe:
I'd like a link to that guide if it will get me root back on my phone. I made a backup thats only accessible via root so 7.0 is worthless to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] FilthyFord:
Yes it is possible. I did it myself on the S7 flat the other day. I believe the boot loader is the same (V4) either way i done it with no problems. Just flash the PK1 firmware with the latest odin. :good:

First post, sorry for putting it in the wrong place =(

Sorry for replying, I'm new and I didn't see where I could make my own post here. Anyway...

I'm pretty inexperienced with rooting and have never done any of the methods mentioned here before. I always used methods that were basically just clicking "make it rain" or something and being done. I wanted to know if there is any updated and easier method for the AT&T s7 yet. Also, my phone has been nagging me to update to Android 7.0 and I'm wondering if doing so will cause a problem with getting root or complicating the process. Lastly, I just wanted to say thank you guys for all your time and hard work in this forum. You guys are awesome and much appreciated!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
Yes that should work. You got to be careful of the click ads and adware on some of the download sites, but if you check the links carefully it'll come together for you.

Wifi bug

Not sure if this is the same bug, but this was also present on s6 line from flashing the

Engboot.img... (aka "autoroot kernels")

This might fix your issue with the wifi passwords...

Build.prop /default.prop edit this line to false.

ro.securestorage.support=true

It needs to read

ro.securestorage.support=False

Then reboot. See if that resolves your wifi password issue.

If it doesn't,revert changes and ignore :')

When you download the Odin file, it is Odin3+v3.12+(PrinceComsy).zip, Extract the zip and then run Odin PrinceComsy.exe from the folder created when you extracted the zip.

I may be wrong, but I do not think that rooting alone will unlock tethering. On all of my previous phones I have always had to flash a new rom. There does not appear to be a rom for the At&T g930a or the g935a yet.

In case you still need help read above in this post for some info. Also, use stock odin 3.12 or 3.12.3 when flashing stock firmware . Princecomsy odin is only for engboot kernel. There's only one engboot for S7 or S7 edge MM (one edge, one flat) and another for Nougat (one edge, one flat). Once you've odined the proper engboot kernel and rooted per that OP, then flashfire v15 fix for MM and follow Nougat root thread for various fixes and fine tuning.

Thanks saf4xdadev. That is actually what I did do, (re: this https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galax...t-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039/post67605246). For some reason when fixing and debloating v15, my battery is dropping like a rock. I was thinking it was because the eng kernel was for just an S7, and praying that the ATT specific one from princecomsy was better, but it might not be.

Thanks for the reminder about using default ODIN for firmeware. I might flash to a Nougat debloated firmware and hope that helps.

-Woodtablet
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
Glad to help....one more thing about the v15 fix for MM ......make sure not to flashfire the +debloat. The debloat is outdated and no longer usable because newer updates need things the debloat would delete. So whatever phone carrier you have, the only v15 that's workable is the one for any samsung galaxy s7 device.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
I agree for best results odin back to stock and start over. In theory the factory reset from recovery should work and get you back to engboot kernel unlock custom padlock where you can reroot and apply the v15 fix no debloat but with so many moving parts bound to be something to go wrong. By odin back to stock and starting over you insure most robust route.
