If you follow the guide, you'll have everything you need and there wouldn't be any questions needed.

I guess more specific to ask, where are you getting hung up?

On a windows machine:

Download all the files listed and get them installed

Follow the instructions (boot phone into download mode, put adb folder into c:\, rename the SuperSU folder from the zip archive to "super" for easy access, execute the cd's and then execute root.bat)

Please just read the guide and understand it before you move forward. Ask what you don't understand from the guide so that the writer could make it more clear if it's needed. But what you just asked is literally written clearly with what to do.

Hi, I just rooted my s7 edge and I noticed a lot of lag, after a while it forgets my wifi network and I also get a security notice telling me to restart my phone. Can someone help me? This is getting annoying. Additionally, the s7 edge is my first android phone so I'm new this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] v8dreaming:
If you had package disabler installed, and had apps disabled, I recommend you wipe before flashing anything.

Something is being left over, even after enabling the disabled apps, and it's causing stuff to hang.

(This is just a theory)

Also, neat tidbit.

Once you get the supersu folder installed in the adb folder; if you double click on the batch file, it will auto run. You don't even have to open the command prompt.

Odin stock firmware and let it activate. I suggest disabling the apps before you flash the eng boot, then root again.

Wow there's a lot of issues in this thread, some of you guys need to wait.. This can potentially brick your phone.. Only if your sure.. I'm definitely gonna wait a couple weeks.. Good job on finally getting root though, I can't wait to root my phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] v8dreaming:
99% of the issues are self inflicted.

Main things after root:

The build prop has to be edited to keep wifi passwords from being forgotten.

You need to download some kind of app that will let you change the kernel governor.

Disable securitylogagent with TB to get rid of the notification, and to make sure you don't lose root after reboot.

Other than that, just let the phone settle and have at it.

WHATEVER! WE HAVE ROOT!

In the build.prop change

ro.securestorage.suport=true (change to false)

WiFi will be remembered.

Well said. I originally had the same issues below coming from 935t.

My phone initially went into a boot loop when trying to do the wifi fix.

A clean factory install from Odin to pd8 made my install experience more smooth and would recommend all to go that route.

For people wanting Viper, and the fact it needs a permissive kernel is causing problems, check out my S7 original tutorial below. If someone is willing to give it a try, there is a zip that patches Android to allow Viper to work on an enforcing kernel, it might work in Flashfire. I can confirm this works fine flashed from TWRP as I was using it for a couple of months before permissive custom kernels started coming out for the Exynos S7.

http://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-viper4android-enforcing-stock-t3337148

You will notice at the end of the post there is a zip which does everything in my tutorial in one flash. I'm not sure if the link still works or even if this will work with Flashfire but it could be worth a go if you're willing to try.

Obviously, it goes without saying that you do this off your own back and neither I or the creator of the zip take responsibility. However, I imagine the worst case scenario would be a soft brick, and a stock flash should fix it.

The majority of people here should have no problems. But just because you got it to work does not mean it will work for everyone. There are different combinations of firmware, apps, tweaks that create a different situation for a lot of users.

It should always be noted that if you mess with kernel and system files there is a chance that you will brick your phone. This is no exception.

If you brick your phone with how easy this is, you shouldn't be here rooting phones.... I am fairly newbie and I have rooted, messed with a lot of things I shouldn't, recovered to non root, re-rooted, installed Xposed, all without any issue and again, I am no pro. If you SOFT brick your device, sure that happens, I did it, if you can't recover from a SOFT brick then again, you shouldn't be here rooting phones...

On that note, if you do soft brick, here is where you can get the firmware to recover.

You can use kernel auditor from playstore.

Go and flash using odin

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] cuezaireekaa:
If you haven't changed the governor to intractive with a Kern tweaking app do that. If you have, then this is how it runs for now. A little warm and I little slow. If you want to go back to stock, Odin your orig firmware from sammobile.

---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ----------

It will after a bit. Some of my apps that needed su access took a bit to pop up. After changing governor to interactive, it was a lot faster. Maybe uninstall and reinstall and give it some time. It works. That's how I got exposed going.

Changing Kernel to Interactive
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] eduardmc:
I dont blame them. Most people are having a few issues which is not really worth having ROOT NOW until this is more stable. Heating, bad battery, lag (yes even with interactive which remove lag still more laggy than stock), vlot icons, wireless not sticking. Some of this issue are already resolve but is better to wait and find the source of this problem. Just happy that root is avail but will give it a few days/weeks until things are more stable. I'll make sure not to update since samsung will release a fast update just to patch this root method.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] BlkPant3R:
I will wait for a more stable version. Meaning custom roms also lol kind of a waste of time without roms to flash after lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
Easy rooting.....

Better to be lucking than good - I am on pb6 and installed the eng.boot with modded ODIN and modded SuperSU woyj adb with no issues so far (except it does not want to install Busybox). I first un-disabled everything, and then did the above.

It booted up again after the SU and everything was still there - no need to factory reset. So far, no lag before tweaking the kernel settings. WiFi passwords were gone, but it is working OK. I had backed up with Smart Switch expecting to have to restore all the apps, and was surprised with the results.

Have not tried setting up Xposed yet - that will be next.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] cuezaireekaa:
That's a good idea in your case but not a waste of time (whut?o_0) - some folks only wanted root for adaway/viper/xposed. Those all work perfectly.

Now I do understand what dude said above about there being a few workarounds needed to run good but yes there is still some lag and heating up while running rooted with engboot. Yes even with interactive set. It's up to you what you do, were just putting out all the bugs so you guys can decide for yourself if root is worth it.

For some it is not and I get it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] BlkPant3R:
What? Don't see how me choosing to wait has anything to do with what everyone else is doing. I don't need adaway don't use it, don't use xposed and dont need viper but I root for custom roms only. Don't care what others do that's their preference mine is custom roms

Second this question. I owned a rooted S6 and found out that rooting the device once will permanently disable android and samsung pay even after a full reversion to stock. Samsung/android pay is not a dealbreaker for me, but it could be for potential customers you want to sell the phone to when it's time to upgrade (Source: had my S6 returned on swappa for exactly this reason). Something to think about before rooting.

Edit: F*ck samsung for doing this, and power to the rooters.

OK so camera still not working. Keep getting a error camera has stopped even after factory reset and flashing back to stock firmware so had to go to tmobile for warranty. Not sure if root was the cause but I know it was working before root and didn't try to use camera till day after I rooted.

There was a confirmation from a user that he went back to stock via Odin and he was able to use pay again. This root method doesn't trip Knox ,so in theory, it should still work if you go back. We need some more confirmation IMO but there's that.

That would be amazing - yup, for my S6 root I did have to trip the KNOX counter but I was able to reset it back to zero. Still, the Pay apps didn't work. I read that apparently Samsung incorporated some sort of hard-wired trip on rooted S6's - don't know how true it is, but either way it would be great to get confirmation that this S7 root method can be reverted to stock with working Pay apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] cuezaireekaa:

You list that you don't want or need, and you also indicate you don't want or need root and your only interest in it is a gateway to custom ROMs. Given all that, precisely what do you believe you get (and want) from a custom stock rom that you wouldn't get from plain stock?
