Guys the phone isn't gonna have the speed and battery life as stock while using this engboot. And it's gonna be warm when doing intensive tasks. That's where the drain is coming from . That's just how it is right now. Tweaking can only get it so far thank goodness for psouza4 helping it out..

But, It's a trade off. Root/speed and battery. Decide what's more important.. some folks root to make the device rum better than stock. That isn't happening on this kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] byte9:
This ^ people need to come to the reality that all tweaks aside(respect to OP for time and work) it's simply not as balanced as stock. Stock on this phone is rock solid butter, that's not me being a new toy fanboy. It just is. If you want root for full control you lose that. Anybody saying they're getting a perfect stock experience is suffering from confirmation bias.

I've done all the tweaks, I've let them settle in and fact is this engboot root method is not the best root method by a long long shot we've seen. Shout out to my cross platform users who've suffered tethered jailbreaks. This is almost as bad. When the exploits author says its not for daily driving take that at face value. Root is a worthy quest but there are many ways to complete a quest. Some leave stains that won't come out.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Exleh:
I completely understand this. But the OP says multiple times in this thread that he is getting consistently better than stock performance AND battery life. So, I am going to reset and follow his instructions exactly one more time before going back to stock. If he can achieve this, why can't we? But you're right. It's buggy and I get that, it's the price you pay with root. I am just saying that I am having atrocious results at the moment but I think that may have to do with the fact that I did not do a factory reset before rooting, nor did I use the "advanced tweaking" he talked about because I cannot afford the pro versions of the apps listed in that guide, at least at the moment.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] cuezaireekaa:
Those apps are for battery life. They will not make this root run faster. Good luck. It all depends on what you want more, like I said. There is a difference. Believe me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Exleh:
Yeah, I am blaming the performance on the fact that I didn't do a clean reset. The battery life I will blame on the fact that I didn't use the "advanced" guide. I'm sure they both have to do with the kernel though, too.

Help Rooting My Samsung S7 Edge SM-G935F Exynos

Hi,

I just needed a bit of advice/help. I've just bought a new Samsung S7 Edge SM-G935F Exynos and i was reading this thread and i wanted to know how i could root my phone version without tripping the Knox counter and without invalidating my warranty?

I would really appreciate any help as I'm new to the android scene and have just moved from ios.

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Exleh:
The answer probably won't be here on the Qualcom side of things. Check over in the international forum or the general S7 forum because you don't want to flash any of these files to your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] GartimusPrime:
I have done the whole guide, it took me about 2 hours to completely read it and do it. It honestly runs as smooth as butter and I got a certain satisfaction in being able to truly remove some of the bloat with titanium backup. The battery life does suffer but for me, being able to do some of the root things I can do now outweighs that. I am in a position in my job where I can charge if need be. I am super appreciative of the devs who found this root and the ones who wrote the tutorials. I am also in hope that maybe there will be progression from here. Once again, thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] cuezaireekaa:

Edit I just reread. It's just not allowing mtp?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Exleh:
No MTP or USB debugging. Just says charging and does not offer any options. I've installed the drivers and tried a different cord. Not sure what's going on. Someone else asked about this a few pages back but I didn't see an answer for it.

I am having an issue where i complete the steps once rooted, and am able to run the rooted programs, however they are slow even after i change gpu governer. After a few minutes my phone freezes, then restarts, and i come back on to having lost root access. Sorry if there is a fix for this and I didn't see it, but I was having issues finding a solution. Also, I am on an AT&T S7 Edge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] FilthyFord:
I replied to you in the other thread that you posted this same exact question in, i even gave you the link to the forum that you should be following.

For this that keep complaining about battery or the smoothness of this root, please see the attachment of my battery. I know have a lot of "standby time" because I'm not in my phone constantly all day, but only using 50% battery in 12.5 hours isn't bad. As far as performance, don't knock the method til you try it to a T, i have no lag and no issues since i followed the instructions in the OP. No everything isn't always just flashing a zip, learn how to manually do some things yourself and make the phone better than stock. Over the years i have learned a lot by modding things myself. Currently i have read/write to my sd card on this phone and turned up my Volume settings by editing the build prop manually. Just read and learn. Make a backup of your phone and if you mess up, recover it and start over, it's trial and error folks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] byte9:
Give it 24hrs. Its not stable, its not as good as stock. Its a trade off, which may be worth it to uou. It does run smooth, sometimes. If you're a heavy phone user it'll show it's colors. I am only saying this because nobody reads the other 500 posts and people are landing on the beaches in boot loops and soft bricks. This root method is the only available and if there was a stable option to provide a contrasting effect nobody would touch this.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] djh816:
as mhill1986 points out, the OP's fixes zip will apply stock kernel settings. by applying ondemand (the default is samsung's performance governor IIRC) you are already throwing a huge battery drain in. OP suggested avoiding kernel adiutor as it specifically isn't reading our CPU information correctly right now. I'm using just the fix zip without any greenify etc and my battery is just like stock (except when playing poké go :P)

Again! Typing "volte" in the search comes back with grips of posts and the fix is in 80% of them. Yes it was easier for me to type this, and better to teach you about search. 'Teach a man to fish..' but someone will do the legwork and help feed you eventually .. good luck

The odin in the first post by OP should work with your phone but this is the S7 (not edge) Verizon forum so I can't say many people here would be able to help much as far as providing a Samsung ATT firmware for S7 edge. But once you find the odin files for your phone, just boot the phone into download mode and install the stock ATT S7 edge in Odin. Best of luck
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JoostinOnline:
I unzipped it and used ODIN. I can't use Flashfire since it's stuck at the boot screen. ODIN gives me an error about a model dismatch, even though I downloaded the correct one, according to what it says in recovery mode (MMB29M.G935AUCS2APF2).

---------- Post added at 01:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 AM ----------

That's the problem. According to the start of the guide, I have the correct files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] byte9:
I know its annoying, was in your shoes. But try Odin v3.12.3? Are you using v3.11.2

via 935a, Tapatalk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JoostinOnline:
I'm using 3.12, the version in the OP.

For the record, I know this is my own fault. I never should have used a root method this early
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] djh816:
The first part is purely for rooting an existing working install. If the unzipped odin files from back to stock aren't working though, look wherever or ask in the appropriate forum. Again, not trying to be rude but hardly anybody else in this Verizon S7 forum will be much help. Yes OP posted many stock files but I assume he is on Verizon S7 so likely has not tested every single file provided. I'd look in the ATT section for your phone or the (3rd party) Samsung firmware download site, can't recall the url right now, sorry.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Exleh:
You have to extract that .zip and then use the provided files inside. Use the AP, CP and CSC file (not CSC HOME). Check the appropriate boxes. The AP box will take a very long time while it verifies the MD5 sum. Try that out in Odin and let us know.

---------- Post added at 12:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 AM ----------

Alright, I have did the full unroot and reset. I then re-rooted it and honestly it seems a bit snappier now. I'll give it a test tomorrow and if it still doesn't work out as planned, I'll go ahead and go back to stock until we get something a tad more stable!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] TheWu-Wei:
I ran this entire process against an existing PE1 install. Everything worked without issue: I have root, etc.

However, my battery is getting crushed. I had pretty decent performance before rooting, so...

I'm planning to do a reset and then re-root. But if I'm going through that hassle, I'm going to try the U firmware jrkruse has been working on. I figure if I have to start from scratch I might as well go all-in.

Now I'm just waiting for his latest build...sometime later today.

Even still, this guide is outstanding and very thorough. I suspect if I had done a factory reset beforehand I'd be fine now. So I'm a victim of my own desire for convenience. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JoostinOnline:
I know that. As I said before, I just get a model dismatch error. byte9 sent me a link to other files, so hopefully those will work. Another 20 minutes of downloading.

Edit: It worked. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Ridl3y:
I flashed 15 and I'm still getting the network error where you need to make a call to make 4G show up.

AND I can't use data and make a call at the same time. (Tried with calling VM and accessing a site)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] WMguy:
I JUST got mine fixed too. I had to use a different file and different ODIN version. But it was actually the same file that was in the OP so it was probably the different ODIN that was the ticket.

For any other ATT people having issues, try this ODIN http://www.mediafire.com/download/2t...din_3.12.3.rar

Also, after it flashes, if you get stuck on the ATT Logo screen:

Go into Download mode

When screen goes black, remove finger from volume down and move it to volume up until Recovery mode starts.

Do a factory reset in Recovery

You will appear to be stuck on ATT Logo again, let it go a minute or so.

Phone will reboot on stock firmware.

Lesson learned for me. Too early.

EDIT: I also flashed the Bootloader. So that was another difference.

Thank you for this. I was starting to wonder if I'd ever get out.;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] TugBoatTed:
Hey, I looked through this thread already and did try to search for the fix. Maybe I'm not searching for the right thing... anyway, I've flashed v15 of the fixes so that is up to date. The black volte seemed to pop-up after i had a phone call with another att user with volte.

If you have a moment, could you please share with me the fix for the issue? Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] djh816:
Just to make sure, did you download the generic fixes zip and not the verizon one? Can't speak for ATT side of things but I'm running the verizon v15 myself at least and have not once seen the icon after flashing the fixes (but did before hand). I believe OP said the only difference was the framework-res.apk for our wifi tether provisioning (and maybe the incallui.apk?)

Mind sharing what version of Odin you used? Might be useful for others with the same issue or for OP to put in the first post for other ATT users.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Exleh:
Alright, starting my day at work and I'm going to test this fresh image with root throughout the day. So far this morning it seems good. No snags or anything. I haven't installed Xposed yet, though.

Also, how the heck do I make my phone stop disconnecting from my WiFi network? It'll just disconnect and say "internet not available" but as soon as I reconnect, I'll work just fine?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] TugBoatTed:
I'm on At&T so I didn't consider running the Verizon fixes. Is that what everyone else is doing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] djh816:
Sorry my wording wasn't all that clear.. I just mean that you should NOT be using the Verizon files. But most people in this thread will be using Verizon files, yes. This is the Verizon S7 forum :) OP has just been kind enough to try to cover the other carriers as well but I doubt he is on ATT. That said, the only difference in the zips should be the framework-res file that fixes wifi tethering for Verizon. Odd that you are seeing the icon still :/

Have you applied the fixes zip yet in FlashFire? The not saving of wifi credentials is one of the things it fixes. Also ensure that secure startup is disabled (Settings -> Lock screen and security)

hanging on root.bat

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] djh816:
The push of the .img file should take the longest. At this point I'd just kill the .bat script and reboot your phone and try again. Looking at the script, there's no harm in running again on a partially successful run like you had.

Yes. This isn't a password issue. It just kicks me off the network and I have to press "connect" again. It did this on stock too and it only does it at my house. I've reset my router and I'm lost.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] djh816:
Ah in that case honestly I'd suspect the router is the issue. Sometimes wifi devices just don't play nice together. On both stock and rooted, I've had no issues with wifi disconnects on either my home Netgear WNDR3700 running OpenWRT or our Airport Extremes at my work place.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
I took a few days off from the thread and have been quoted and mentioned a lot -- if you still need my attention, specifically, please PM me, the thread is monstrous and hard to follow who's doing what and if someone has already been answered. I'll do what I can to help.

I understand the AT&T S7 Edge firmware I uploaded is giving people problems. I downloaded the other copy going around, extracted the RAR, and compared it with the version I uploaded. Same MD5 hashes, so I have to assume my version is good but possibly got corrupted during upload. I'm uploading it again and took the links down in the meanwhile. Make sure you check your hashes, people! Never flash anything to your phone that you aren't 100% sure matches the original hash.

Also, I understand that AT&T users have had better luck using a different version of Odin. I'll be updating my guide to include it as an alternative.

Finally, to anyone worried about the Verizon-specific fix or fix+debloat package/script, the package will abort and refuse to flash unless you're on the Verizon-specific firmware. You can't accidentally flash it. And if you don't care about non-provisioned Wi-Fi hotspot tethering, then Verizon users can also just use the universal fix+debloat version instead. The rest of the guide is universal and not specific to any carrier, despite that I posted this originally in the Verizon S7 forum.

Happy rooting, everyone!

Getting 'assert failed' error when attempting the install through FlashFire. Attempting to run the Verizon S7 v15 fix script. Any ideas? I saw this was mentioned a while back in v9 and then was fixed in v10. Wondering if that fix didn't make it into v15 for some reason...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
That means either one of two things: you either got your downloads mixed up (Edge version on non-edge or vice versa) or you're not specifically on the PE1 build, such as perhaps PB1 or PF2 or something, lots of firmwares out there. Since the Verizon-specific versions flash /system/framework/framework-res.apk, you can't mix them across firmwares. Use the universal one if you don't have that specific firmware.

(PS: the fix you're referring to was a change I made to the universal script way back, not the Verizon-specific ones, and is very much alive in the existing versions)
