I had posted the below in the LTE-A thread but thought it might be more useful here:

I have pulled the CP file out of the firmware, ODIN'd it, and it doubled my download speeds from 18 to 36,sec. I am in hilly Western NC, so towers and your location is hit-or-miss, but would think it would be higher in an urban area.

I am posting this for people who have rooted their device including those that have gone to the different ROM or ROM modification and don't want to bother ODINing back to stock just to get the LTE upgrade.. I had no issues but be sure you use the modded ODIN from the rooting thread.

I am on the latest firmware G935TUVU3APG1 and would love to finally root my phone. I've had a rooted nexus 4, gs3, lgv10 before so know a bit about it. Can I root on the latest firmware? Or is there a way to downgrade my phone with Odin, read about it somewhere but no details.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Dbzadct:
question first time working with samsung.

currently on firmware PG1 and rooted, but i am attempting to unlock my device so i have to flash stock firmware. would i damage my device if i flash PD8?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
Don't think so, but it might not let you do it (there are some saying you can't due to the different bootloaders but some others claim to have done it).

In any case why not odin pg1 firmware?

If you are on latest update you may be out of luck as it might have patched the ability to root with the engineered kernel.

Thanks to the OP for putting all the information together. I however seem to have hit a snag. When I flashed with Odin, it went to a black screen with a pulsing blue light.

I think I am hard bricked.

No hardware button response. So I cannot get back into recovery.

The driver that is showing up says QUSB_BULK.

No ADB or FASTBOOT access.

If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Beefheart:
Whilst blue light is pulsing keep power, volume up and home buttons pressed. If that doesn't work try just volume up and power kept pressed. Also try plugging the phone power adapter in and doing it.

It's highly unlikely you're hard bricked but not being able to remove the battery is a pain.

SM-G935T Running MMB29M. Is root still possible with the latest build? I had root, crashed bootloader attempting to get TWRP via Flashfire. Restored with Smart Switch. Lost Root cant seem to get it back with this method or the flashing TWRP via Odin method.

Also with locked bootloader how are people successfully flashing roms?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
It is not possible to install any recoveries with a locked bootloader - period. You can only install samsung based signed roms when rooted.

Not sure if you can root current September update, although one poster said he did.

and everything runs smoothly most of the time. However, after every reboot, I get some serious, horrible, unusable lag. for about 2 mins after the initial boot, I can't even unlock the screen. The screen will go black and the home button and power button will not turn it back on. After a while the screen will come on and I can (very laggily) ((is that even a word?)) type in my pin. Then after a few minutes everything smooths out. Any ideas? It's pretty annoying but it's nothing like a deal breaker. Thanks in advance.

Edit: Also, what is the best method for backing up the system + data without a custom recovery? I have a stock backup with SmartSwitch but now that I've rooted and modified the system I'm not sure SmartSwitch is the right choice? FlashFire, by the way, makes it appear that my backup file would be in excess of 10 gigs which is absurd for the amount of apps and data I have at the moment.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
The "normal " backup includes the internal SD which can be large. You don't have to do it every time but be sure you have at least one so you don't loose anything important.

Smart switch doesn't handle everything very good - especially in rooted roms. Flashfire is the best way without a recovery.

Your lag is unusual - have not encountered anything like it except dirty flashing echo.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Sapiens:
I never rooted with the T-Mobile firmware so I cannot compare it. As many say the U firmware is very smooth. After rooting the only fix I did was to modify the build pro so the Wi-Fi passwords would be saved after reboots.

I haven't modified the speed of the cores or any other modifications. I have installed 100+ apps, also have adoptable storage enabled, a few root apps. Everything works very smooth, no reboots, no heating, no slow down. I have NOT installed Xposed yet. Planning to do that later. Though I don't know what Xposed works for this one. If someone can point in that direction it would be appreciated.
