little help???

ok long story short. i've rooted this thing several times now all bring about a different set of problems every time.. though i do not believe any to be major can/would some one maybe give a little advice. i have followed several methods and none have achieved a full blown functioning rooted device like it should. this last time busy box has installed to the wrong path from what i can tell. i see nothing further than system/app/data or system data/data. i am by no means knowledgeable in code wr/r but i can following directions pretty well. i have read and read and at this point it is just starting to get confusing and quite frankly killing me eyes. i have everything to go back to stock but the ocd in me will not let me stay there until i get it rooted and acting like a really rooted device should this early on (messed up would be the terminology i guess). I'm gonna take it back to stock right now which is just flashing firmware since data is of no concern as it did not have any on it to begin with. is it possible that it is leaving something behind on the root binary? when i do go back to stock even though i wipe and reset several times before trying again. any help as quickly as possible would result in a night of much needed sleep for me and an everlasting debt of gratitude and unending thank you's to you from me. how bout it, any advice/directions, so on and so forth. how about it, < rbedell > something to ponder or at least to me. yesterday or day before i went back to stock cause i flashed a rom and ended up with a blank home screen. only way to see anything was thrugh notification bar and from there could get just about anywhere until home screens and always blank. went into dettings and had 2 of almost everything and sort of seemed like easy mode but it was turned off and the fact that i had south korea phone carriers. darnedest thing i have seen. had to google it to find out what is was is only reason i know it was south korean. maybe have something to do with this phone being a "demo". that didn't show up until after the first root!!! needless to say att replacing it but it meantime i have to figure this out( with help i guess) and if it goes back a brick well not much different than way i get it as a warranty replacement from them. and!!!, had another tab can't remeber right now what is said exactly that had a code "5444" and it has disappeared also but demo remains still

Will this work on Nougat? If I revert back to stock, do I flash MM or can I get away with using Nougat?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] Kingtape:
That site takes me to several different links when I click the blue button. Finally, it takes me to "site can't be reached"

I thought I had the correct one, but then it gave me a virus.

This made me quite mad. Is there a way of finding out which one is the right one?

Okay I've read a couple pages on this post but I wanna make sure. Does this work on G935A running 7.0 on QC2? What are the pros and cons of it, and does it reset my phone? Also after root what is everything I need to do to make my phone non laggy and stable?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] freeop:
Not for sure about this procedure as it was created back in June 2016, so I think it is for MM system.

But if you do want to root your phone with Nougat, follow this link Here's How

I Rooted Nougat S7 and you will be able to root your ATT Nougat Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge/Flat. I have done it on my ATT S7 Edge and it works fantastic. But please read the whole thread and follow the posts from [MENTION=5149713]Quickvic30[/MENTION] with the shared root.bat that he posted later in the thread.

I have NO Lag, NO Heat, Battery Time is running Great. Just the other day I had over 56 hours on battery and that is more than I was getting with Stock Nougat. I know that the thread is in the T-Mobile area, but if you read the first post, it says that it works for T-Mobile, ATT, Verizon, and Sprint. But as I said I am on ATT S7 Edge and I can safely testify that it works great.

Hope this helps...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] loeffler23:
I followed what you said and got root etc it all went perfect but now my device status says custom and I have the custom logo on boot, I thought following this guide didn't trip anything? So how do I get rid of it now? and I got that stupid ass hurricane symbol?? No clue why.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] freeop:
The above link will NOT Trip Knox. If you download the "Knox Checker" from the playstore it will let you know that it has not tripped. So you are good as far as that is concerned.

As for the Custom Logo, I am not for sure, as that is part of the Engineering Image that helps you root your phone. If you want to get rid of that, you will have to UN-Root your phone with a Stock Image and the Stock Odin program.

I had another phone and had used that procedure but it caused my phone to heat up and eventually burned up part of my screen. I un-rooted my phone and got rid of the Custom Logo along with everything that might point to rooting, and called ATT. They had me send my phone back as a Warranty Replacement and I got a new phone. I was really afraid to root the phone again until I saw the "root.bat" that [MENTION=5149713]Quickvic30[/MENTION] had posted and tried again. I have not had any problems with this rooting this time and have been running for about 3 weeks now.

As for the Custom Logo, you might want to post a question on that linked thread and see if anyone knows how to get rid of it. There are a lot of good people on that thread and can help you out better than I could. Sorry, I can't be of more help.

=======================================================EDIT=======================================================

You changed your post while I was replying. :)

Did you use [MENTION=5149713]Quickvic30[/MENTION]'s "root.bat"? That Hurricane icon should not show up if you used his root.bat. Look on message #688 in that thread and it will have the root.bat and some more information you can use for better performance.

Damn that's a bummer samsung pay has good deal sometimes, anyway how bad is the lag? I am debating if the lag is noticeable or not
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] Binary100100:
The lag is pretty bad actually. If you have it set just right it's not *as* bad though. It basically feels like the phone is about 3 years old and trying to run Marshmallow. I only get about 10 hours out of my battery too. So if that's a deal breaker for ya... I'd say stay out of root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] TechBSwift:
Sorry to hear that.. What settings do you have on your phone? Did you change the kernel mode? I get about 5hr sot and 20 hrs of battery. I am on Verizon so maybe it's the carrier quality difference or something
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] Binary100100:
I am using Interactive governor with Trickster Mod. I reboot about every six hours and let it sit for 15 minutes before messing with it. I unlock it just to make sure that the kernel settings took place and use it off and on. Mostly here on XDA or making calls/texts. I'm actually a heavy user though with over 200 apps installed but almost none run on system start up. Only e-mail syncing every hour, Google Now, the weather widget (syncing hourly) and Hangouts. Can't think of anything else that is set to run at start up. Screen is set to auto brightness at work because I work outside but frequently go in but at home it's set to manual and almost all the way down to at most 25%.

I zipped the entire folder. Should be everything you need.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] Jbluedodge:
Thank you. I installed the apk but it went open. How do I get the odex where it needs to be? I'm assuming that is why it keeps quitting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] Michael3214:
When you extract the zip move the entire folder back to

system > priv-app and reboot. It includes the VVM.apk and oat folder. The oat folder contains the arm64 folder and that is where the odex file belongs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] Jbluedodge:
I have to be rooted to do that right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] Michael3214:
That's correct. Without it the system stays ro and you need rw permission.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] Skizzy034:
Lag is non-existent if you fix it right. There is a thread in the Verizon forum that has a flash able zip that completely fixes the lag, along with other things.

---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 PM ----------

Use the zip that pouza posted and remove trickster mod. Any of the kernel tweak apps aren't working right, even kernel toolkit. His zip implements the fixes for cpu and everything else correctly. I used both apps I mentioned and then uninstalled them and used his fixes. It's a lot smoother and battery life is better.

This is the one that I flashed. It also removed the IMS icon from the status bar. Nice added bonus.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] Skizzy034:
Yea, just make sure not to use any kernel tweaking apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] Binary100100:
Of course, because that'll only revert the settings that the sh scripts execute. Hard to believe that anyone would be so naive to do that.

Trickster Mod didn't work for me either, bad lag. Uninstalled and used Kernel Adiutor and set it to On Demand...and Apply On Boot. Worked great...until I lost root this afternoon after rebooting. Gotta get that back now. Yay!

*edit: disabled Secure Boot...got root back. =)

*edit 2: trying the zip of fixes provided above and turned off Kernel Adiutor...will come back with results.

*edit 3: so far, so good! Haven't had any lag issues. Battery use isn't as bad as stock...3 hrs screen on time, 12 hrs on battery, 31% left (~5 1/2 hrs)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] nugzo:
Is there a factory boot image (kernel) available to install so we don't have to completely wipe if we are having kernel issues? Or do we have to flash the entire firmware package to fix it?

WiFi Problem

I initially installed the stock 935U ROM (Found here) and then tried to Root my phone using this guide. I downloaded the 'all files' part from this guide, and followed the readme.txt instructions.

When I went to run the root.bat batch file, I noticed that there were some errors. Despite these errors, the phone rebooted and had SuperSU installed and granted root permissions to some apps. However, ES Explorer (File explorer) could not view root. Also, the WiFi no longer remembers passwords or networks! ** Because the batch file text disappears so quickly, I added pause commands to each line. This is the batch file code...

adb wait-for-device
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system
adb shell mount -o rw,remount rootfs /
pause
adb push SuperSU-v2.74-2.img /data/su.img
pause
adb push launch_daemonsu.sh /system/etc/launch_daemonsu.sh
pause
adb install -r SuperSU-v2.74-2.apk
pause
adb shell < supersu.cmds
adb shell pm hide com.LocalFota
adb shell pm hide com.samsung.android.intelligenceservice
adb shell pm hide com.samsung.android.securitylogagent
adb shell pm hide com.samsung.sdm
adb shell pm hide com.samsung.syncservice
adb shell pm hide com.sec.android.diagmonagent
adb shell pm hide com.sec.android.fotaclient
adb shell pm hide com.sec.android.fwupgrade
adb shell pm hide com.sec.fwservice
adb shell pm hide com.ws.dm
adb shell pm hide com.wssyncmldm
pause
adb reboot

After the line "adb shell < supersu.cmds" the phone reboots, and all of the 'adb shell pm hide' commands error. Despite this, the phone reboots ok and appears rooted with a working SuperSU which grants permissions to apps. The SuperSU installed however, will not update it's binaries.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated please.

** To resolve the WiFi issue, I tried a number of things. Forgetting the network, manually adding the network, rebooting into recovery and formatting cache, resetting the phones network settings. None worked.

Device: Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

Carrier: AT&T

ROM: SM-935U
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] Radiotsar:
I followed the setup to the letter, building the "C:\adb" and "C:\adb\super" folders with the corresponding files within each. When I run "root.bat" from the command window, each command comes back "'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." Any ideas where I jumped the rails?

edit: SuperSU eventually appeared in my app drawer, but I do not have root. I rebooted the phone and lost my wifi connection, just as Rentapest did.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] Rentapest:
When you ran the CMD prompt, did you navigate to the folder? If you open Windows Explorer at "C:\adb\super" and press "SHIFT+Right-Click" together, you'll get an option to "Run Command Prompt Here" which should appear with "C:\adb\super" and not "C:\Windows\System32" for example. Then just run "root.bat". Hope that helps.

As for the WiFi issue, it seems that if the batch file doesn't complete properly, it messes up the wifi.

[EDIT] Regardless of wether or not the batch file completes (even if it works without any errors), the WiFi is still not remembering networks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] Radiotsar:
Yeah, I tried it both ways - navigating to the "super" folder from within cmd and opening cmd within the super folder as you describe above. Both attempts returned the same annoying error messages. Tried redownloading the package & overlaying the files as well with no luck. I'm now trying to download Android Studio to see if, after it is fully installed, "adb" will be recognized.

Edit: I went back to the OP - the link for the ADB component was dead, but I changed the thread number and got to it. I downloaded the version from there into my adb folder and tried root again. SUCCESS!

Issues Rooting

Hello! In need of help!

I have a Galaxy S7 Edge 935a that I tried to root using the Samsung_G935x_Root_Boot_QC.TAR

Any ideas how I can get out of this, especially without losing any data?

Hey guys, I'm considering getting a S7 Edge for ATT. It looks like the firmware is 935A, and this thread is suggesting that we can use 935U. Curious if that means I can flash ROMs and kernels that are designated SM-935F/FD/W8? If not, it seems like there is not much going for the A/U versions. Is this true?

I also saw there was an OTA update to the ATT variant on July 27. Does that affect root capability?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] rob219:
nothing, do a factory data rest in recovery if it doesn't work you have to reflash the firmware.

Root worked thanks. Great job! Resolved the lag with Kernel Tweaker & modified 4 CPU settings from Performance to OnDemand.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] highaltitude:
The other FW from other carriers and the Universal work, however T-Mobile has a v3 bootloader, so if you flash it, you are stuck on it since all other FW are v2 bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] jgruberman:
Big victory for AT&T S7 Edge! Two questions:

1. Is there any way to somehow permanently overwrite the CPU changes? Every time I boot, it shows(with Kernel Adiutor) that the CPU's are on Interactive, but they perform much better with OnDemand IMO. Every time I change it, they revert to Interactive when I reboot. Now I can tell Kernel Adiutor to Apply the Changes up[on boot every time, but I'd like the OnDemand to just be the normal without a 3rd party app tweaking it every time the phone boots.

2. Is there any way to disable the "SU Binary Needs to Be Updated!" message every time I boot also? I read that I should NOT update the binaries... however if this isn't the case, then please let me know.

Thanks!
