Read back about 5 or so posts to my post with info and links to latest at&t firmware. You can't use the firmware provided in OP because it's outdated and can't go back. You need to use same or newer firmware that you currently have on your phone. Also use stock odin 3.12 or 3.12.3 to return to stock. The Princecomsy odin is for engboot kernel only.

---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

Yes, that is the proper method.....use stock odin not Princecomsy.

---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------

Use titanium backup and freeze Securitylogagent. You'll need to buy it I think in order to use those features. TB is good for doing lots of stuff so it will be money well spent. There's some other things to freeze that can help your phones performance as well, plus backups of course.

Also double check you flashed v15 fix for 'all' s7 phones.

As far as the SU binary update nag screen goes.......turning off updates in play store works good.....but it also turns off all updates from playstore apps. Which might still be good too. Anyway, you can also let it update......contrary to the op and others, go ahead and let it try to update the SU binary and follow it thru to where it says to reboot, so then after the reboot the nag screen will be over even though the binary didn't update. I did this and it went through fine but I don't know how long it would last because I have all updates from playstote apps turned off for security reasons, but lots of others have confirmed it works well.

So I've been reading on this thread for the last hour or so, and I'm a bit lost here. Basically, what I need to know is this:

If I follow the directions in the OP to root it and get Xposed on, will this work on my SM-G930T (T-Mobile US) with APK1 update from 1-Nov-16, and will I lose Samsung Pay or SHealth? (The only bloat I use.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Most of the op is correct and download links are to good working files, except for 'return to stock' section. Flashfire v15 for 'any samsung galaxy s7' not carrier specific. If you want to return to stock make sure you are using current firmware version and not one of the outdated revisions in the op, but the procedure is the same otherwise. Consider a custom rom like stang5litre http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy...-edition-5-0-s7e-rom-s7-t3453441/post68492282 or Echoe http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s7/development/echoeromg935-g930multi-carrier-t3459277/post68629240 .......they would be in place of the v15 fix. Don't debloat.....outdated and will cause probs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Debaser1:
Hi all,

I've just got a smartphone for the first time so sorry if any of these questions are dumb. I know my way around a PC but I have no idea with phones.

I have an S7 edge. It's currently on 6.0.1.

Other sources elsewhere say that I need to check I have the correct architecture, since some are unrootable, but there is no mention of this in the OP. Has this limitation been overcome?

Is my firmware too new to root? Will I need to wait a while without updating before I can do it?

If I follow the instructions in the OP exactly as stated, is there a random chance that it will end up bricked? What are the odds of bricking these days? At what point does a brick become recoverable due to the recovery loaders etc?

Any pointers you could give would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Krog18:
You shouldn't have any problems with rooting as long as you follow the instructions in the OP exactly. Just make sure you flash the v15 fixes for any s7/s7e after you gain root.

If you brick for whatever reason, it'll just be a soft brick and is recoverable. To recover or unroot you'd follow the instructions in the OP to unroot, however the firmware download links are outdated and you'll need to find the version that matches your bootloader.

To find your bootloader version, download the Samsung phone info app from the playstore and it'll show up in one of the tabs. Updato.com has a good selection of firmware for our device. Sammobile.com is another option, but much slower.

Yes, you'd still need PI3 because flashing stang doesn't touch the bootloader. It only changes the firmware version.

It worked on My S7 AT&T Edge Perfectly!

Sorry, I am revising this post as the following day the battery started to drain rapidly. I was lucky to get 6 hours on a charge. I tried the various suggestions found in this forum but could not get anything to hold. When I tried the suggestion that involved the terminal, the govtune, it said my phone was not rooted although root checker said it was. I gave up for now and unrooted.

I eventually followed the process exactly as shown on this site and my phone is working really great. Faster, and so far no big issues. Battery life is better. I did add Busybox and Root Package Disabler but thats it. It is a Samsung AT&T Galaxy S7 Edge at 6.01 935A

I said eventually as I tried a few YouTubes and probably had every problem possible. Overheating, lagging, etc.

I do have the "dm-verity verification failed" on the recovery screen but if it is causing any issues, I don't see them.

Just wanted to say thanks for a great post.

---------- Post added at 06:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 AM ----------

It's because you're using the firmware from the op and your bootloader is a newer version. Go to updato.com and download the same or newer version than your bootloader. Newest is PI3 so if you don't know your bootloader version you can just use that.

---------- Post added at 03:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 PM ----------

Try reinstall playstore. The debloat in the OP is a bit outdated and probably wrecked some of your apps.....like playstore.

Alternatively, you could return to stock using current firmware version and not one from the op, it's old and outdated and bootloader doesn't match newer firmware revisions, and then reroot, but this time around just apply v15 fix for 'any samsung galaxy s7' and you should be fine after that.

Software Version: G935PVPS4APJ2

MODEL#: SM-G935P

Build Number: MMB29M.G935PVPS4APJ2

Im nervous to root this bad boy. With all the lag and APN changes and gets warm.

If I'm only Rooting to debloat would I better off just getting a package disabler of some sort? I don't see lots ROM or Kernel work being done and with Android N rounding the corner ill probably go with that anyhow.

This is a well documented problem in this thread and others. Firmware in the OP is outdated so you need to find and use the same or newer firmware reversion as is currently on your phone. Check updato.com or sammobile.com or simply search xda for your current revision to download and then follow op. Also use stock odin not Princecomsy and that should fix you up fine.

---------- Post added at 01:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 AM ----------

This method still works. It's good practice to locate and download your current firmware version for use to odin back to stock in case of a hiccup during or after this process. The firmware as well as some other files in the OP are outdated and will hose your phone so stick to the basics; engboot, root.bat, v15 for 'any samsung galaxy s7', skip debloat in lieu of a custom rom like stang5litre or Echoe and you should be set.

---------- Post added at 01:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 AM ----------

Did you flashfire the v15 fix from the op. That should fix it. I think that gets fixed when secure storage support is edited in build.prop which the v15fix script does. Make sure you use v15fix for 'any samsung galaxy s7' to flashfire.

I hate being the guy that needs to ask questions, but sometimes you gotta do it :). Anyway, I tried to root my phone because I accidentally erased some important videos, and everything I found out there required the phone be rooted. I followed the excellent steps in this tutorial but I got the dreaded AT&T logo and never got any further. I figured I would just install the firmware and be on my way. Unfortunately when I tried to install the image I keep getting an error.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
No don't purchase a new phone......no need yet. I thought pi2 would have fixed it. Anyway, you need same firmware with bootloader revision or newer. Try to get pj4 search xda or internet. Pk1 is available too. I might have a link and I'll edit. Did you know what firmware you had previously? You need to use stock odin 3.12 or 3.12.3 not Princecomsy. Double check you weren't still using the Princecomsy. Try pi2 again using the BL file in odin. Otherwise, try pj4 or pk1.

This depends on bootloader revisions and depends on carrier for that too but I think verizon pi3 and ph1 are both v4 bootloader. You can always try.....it will only give error in Odin and wont work, nothing to the phone. Why downgrade?

Thanks for the quick responses. You guys are GREAT. Not sure I can explain what happened. I was playing around with the phone. I held down the power and volume-down buttons for a few seconds and it brought me to a menu of options that could be scrolled through with the up/down volume keys. I just chose the first one (something like "restart the boot loader") and then another one (something like "restart the system") because they seemed the most appropriate. Next thing I know it says "installing" and then I am back to the original Samsung screen like it was a new phone. I have NO IDEA what I did and I NEVER got a successful Odin install. Crazy!! I don't think I am rooted (I downloaded rootchecker and it says I wasn't), but I was able to run dr.fone and recover some of my lost files. At this point I have no clue. When I restart the phone there is a picture of a lock that is unlocked and it says "custom" underneath it. Not sure what that means. I am also getting a warning that says something about security and asks me to reboot the phone.

Looking at the phone now I am on version 6.0.1, G930AUCS4APK1.

I guess I am back to working now. If anyone has any thoughts on the above I would be interested in hearing them...

Thanks again,

You have the engboot kernel installed but not root. Your in limbo.....half way to no where. All you did was find recovery menu and rebooted your phone. So your not stock anymore and that nag screen is going to haunt you until you either return to stock fully or root the phone so you can install flashfire and the v15 fix or a custom rom. Next step you should do is the part where it says root your phone which is the root.bat part of the operation. First double check that the padlock is unlocked.....reboot the phone a few times to fully make sure then work on the root.bat part, if it's not unlocked the scratch everything I just said.
