What version are you looking for? Chances are very favorable it can be readily found and available for download.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JayBTV:
Man I'm really frustrated this morning. I seem to be having a similar issue as Sayunoi and I think I'm on a similar build/version ( i'm sorry I'm a total noob w/ Samsung devices literally had this phone 3wks).

I've had root for a couple weeks w/o any problems but then I rebooted for the first time in a while this morning and for whatever reason after the reboot I lost root. I've rebooted before w/o problems but this time something went wrong. I noticed about a week ago there a random message on my phone about an update so maybe that was the cause? I was pretty sure I had disabled updates though so I wasn't really sure what that message was and I rebooted right after w/o any probs so(?).

There's a chance I've disabled other things I've thought were bloat using Titanium that maybe(?) could have affected root somehow (?) but I'm really at a loss. I've just spent the last couple of hours trying a number of times to reflash Super User using ADB (root.bat) but even though the process completes, the phone reboots, Custom Lock icon is there on reboot icon, and SU is in the app drawer the phone doesn't have root once booted.

I'm really hoping 1) there's a way to regain root whatever build/version I somehow ended up on and really 2) Hopefully do so w/o having to start over scratch......I finally upgraded phones from an LG G2 and first went w/ the LG V20 and then decided that was too big so swapped that out for this. Just been a lot of installing/reisntalling/ meh... ha....ugh. I'm almost ready to go back to my ancient G2 if only the freaking GPS still worked.....

Anyway here's a screenshot of the software version info - if anyone has any ideas on what I could try I'd appreciate it. I'm really set on having root. Thanks.

Not sure if this will work for you or not, but unzip and run this unroot.bat https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=312978532265370937 then try root.bat again. If that doesn't work you'll probably have to odin stock ph1 firmware and root again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Well it looks like you should be able to get this fixed up to your liking. From the looks of your screenshot, you are, like you asserted, very similar to Sayunoi.

I would go full nuclear on it and start over from scratch to make sure the phone is like brand spanking new when I restart the rooting process would be to Odin back to stock with the correct firmware for your updated phone in order to be all shiny and new again. After that you can start the reroot process, Odin then root.bat, with confidence and once rooted with v15 fix 'any phone' you can then use TI and other apps to make sure updates are limited and controlled so you don't end up here again.

Or.....option number two.....assume the engboot kernel is still in place, which it looks to be, and just follow the process from the root.bat forward. But from your description of the phones condition I think you would be plagued with problems and uncertainties. Good luck.

Edit: looks like Krog18 beat me to the party.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JayBTV:
Yea thanks guys - I really appreciate the replies. I did the unroot.bat and reboot.bat and got the results. It's definitely putting SU back onto the phone properly so I must have frozen a system app that's necessary to allow super user to work FML. I guess I have no choice but to Odin back.

Like I said I'm really new to Samsung and I'm sorry if I sound like a complete idiot. To root in the first place I basically followed the instructions here along w/ this really quick Youtube video (probably not the best of ideas but it got the job done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kqb-p2JO5I4).

I just want to check if there are any hard brick issues need to watch for? Do I basically take my mini-SD card out (to be safe?), do a factory reset, then follow the same steps as that youtube vid/the first post here again?

And if so how what should I do immediately from getting an OTA straight away. I'm so bad w/ this $hit. I tried to disable updates when I first got it and ended up still w/ a couple slipping through.

Part of me is wondering if I should just wait and hope Nougat is rooted but I really want a phone w/ root for Adaway, Youtube Ads, Titanium, etc etc etc....

Thanks so much for your help guys and sorry if I'm rattling off stupid stuff just been a rough week w/ the other stuff phone is the last thing I thought I'd have to deal w/ again.....meh....

JayBTV look back at some of Krog18 posts from over the last several days or so. He details your exact circumstances with links to download your correct firmware. Use the link to get your correct ph1 firmware then follow instructs in the OP. After you Odin the engboot kernel and then run root.bat you'll be back in business.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JayBTV:
ok - n/m working on it....found the firmware on updato (thx krog18)....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] faslane:
EDIT..nm....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Krog18:
You really don't need to worry about a hard brick with this device unless there's a hardware issue. When all else fails boot to download mode and Odin the stock fw. Keep that ph1 download readily available just in case.

A surefire way to make sure you don't get any updates (security or otherwise) would be to install a custom rom. Since you're on Verizon I'd recommend stang5litre s7 or s7e rom. It's debloated with all the fixes built in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jay_h_jacob:
Thank you!!!

Your directions to root and install xposed framework actually worked on the first try. Other instructions were vague and assumed that the reader knows Android as they do. Some of us are still learning. Thanks so much!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JayBTV:
Well the went w with the normal one and I do have root and everything seemed fine last night at home (root was back etc. I spent a while getting the phone back setup. Now this morning I'm out off wifi and I'm notificing I don't have 4G and I'm getting a roaming warning. It seems I'm having a similar problem as this person did:

Looks like they returned their phone.

Fml

Edit:

Btw I bought this phone in Oct and it never had this firmware ph1. I think it came w pe1 (sorry trying to remember off the top of my head).so maybe the radio is incompatible now? Just a shot in the dark.....hoping so....this is my first Samsung..

Could flashing that custom ROM through flashrom potentially fix this issue?

Edit:

Ok so flashing Stang5Litre seems to have brought back 4G - just at the setup screen now but the icon is there so phew on that. Will work through this and hopefully I'll be ok with it.

Sorry for thinking outloud here....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] gpiccard22:
If you are on sprint s7 edge firmware APJ2 don't use! Your phone will keep rebooting after a minute or 2 while its being used
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Good you fixed. Stang5litre is very good rom and they have good thread with great help. Sounds like you had a few problems that just needed a little tweaking is all, but you were definitely on ph1 before you started the root process just look at your screenshot you loaded earlier....you may have started on pe1 but at some point your phone updated to ph1 with or without your knowledge.

Unroot 930U

I am tearing my hair out trying to unroot my Galaxy S7 US Unlocked version. I just wasted a few hours today trying to figure out exactly how to do this and I've come up with nothing. As well, I've seen several others ask in this thread and get no answers. If the answer is out there or in this thread I've been unable to find it. I have the 930U model and the only reason I wanted to root my phone was to use a Playstation4 controller with it. After rooting my phone became sluggish, overheated often, and is generally a pain in the ass. I'm sure I'm just doing something wrong, and I'm ready for all of the "you stupid noob, if you didn't understand it you shouldn't have done it" hate. But why is it so hard to come across the 930U non-rooted firmware image? Thanks to anyone with friendly help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] faslane:
Did you try a factory reset from the bootloader menu of your device? I was rooted on stock firm ware and that uprooted me. Might try it. At own risk of course. Is there no stock firmware to flash in Odin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] PRL77:
different firmware/build

As far as the flashable ZIPs, it says it's only for the PE1 firmware. What if I have a different firmware? I have the PH1, full number G930VVRS4APH1. Are those fixes not available for this? I'm sorry if this has been answered already, I don't have the time to browse through 233 pages of posts. If it has, please just direct me to the page or post that does it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] PRL77:
From what I've read, TWRP or CWM are not possible to install on G930V due to the bootloader being "locked" with dm-verity. So this prevents the installation of Xposed, correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] nu2droid:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] PRL77:
Never mind, I was able to install the customized Xposed using the directions given by the OP. Duh...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
If you haven't figured this out yet you want to use the v15 fix for 'any samsung galaxy s7'.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
I'm pretty sure the answer is No because I think that phone has the Exynos 8890 chipset and this method is for Snapdragon 820. But if your phone is the Snapdragon, and since your firmware is readily available for download and Odining, then you could always try since you can rescue your phone should something go awry. Of course this, like all things xda, will be at your own risk and you assume such risk. Sorry no German.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] LeSchurke:
i had already use cf auto root before the update.

do you think, i can try with the new version G935FXXU1BPH6?

where can i see the chipset?

Get the app 'phone info' from playstore and it will show under one of the tabs....just scroll over a few times to get to the correct tab.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] foolie:
thinking about grabbing one these during black friday. is the root still viable?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] m-cat:
Hey guys, I asked last week about rerooting after a factory reset and was told that if I had the eng kernal that all I had to do was run the root.bat file. Since I cannot use the same pc to reroot as I used to root I ran all the adb stuff again. Once I write the command in cmd prompt all that is shown is a blinking dash mark and nothing happens.

I then tried to flash a stock firmware and Odin won't even detect the phone.

I have tried every step precisely and nothing seems to be going right.

Any thoughts? Thanks

Also on the start up screen the padlock is unlocked and it says custom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Sounds like you don't have samsung drivers installed correctly. If you did install the drivers then try rebooting computer before hooking up phone. As for adb issue, make sure no spaces in the directories in its path. Alternatively just put all the stuff, adb files and root.bat files, in one directory and double click root.bat......that should work too. But you didn't mention samsung drivers so start there. Also, since the custom padlock then you have engboot kernel so you only need root. One more thing is you may need to accept the connection on the phone when connection is made after you run root.bat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] m-cat:
So I reinstalled the drivers, when that finished I went through the command, adb wait-for-device, this time it went back to c/user...

Next, I clicked over to root.bat and that went through as well.

I have root. Thanks

Notes:

When I went to reinstall the drivers a message popped up saying they were already installed. Clearly it was an initial bad 1st install.

Thanks again for the speedy advice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
That's good glad it worked out. If you're not going to install one of the two custom roms, stang5litre or Echoe, highly recommend the v15 fix to get things tuned up proper and since the op is outdated, the correct v15 fix is the one for 'any Samsung Galaxy s7' devices......unless you're actually on the old pe1 firmware noted in the fix section.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Xerocide:
I am having an issue to where I attempted to flash Xposed framework but I did not use the modified one in this thread and so my device stayed stuck at the Verizon logo until I reset it. I am now trying to Odin back to stock but every time I try (following the exact directions as in this thread) I get this error. Not sure if this is enough information but if anyone has a suggestion I'd appreciate the help. No phone at the moment.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
The pe1 firmware in the OP is not going to work anymore if you are on a current version. Check the posts in this thread over the last several days to find download links to current firmware. You also need to make sure you are using the correct odin. One or the other is causing failure.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Are you saying you installed xposed before the fix? At this point you probably need to Odin back to stock and start over. Next time v15 fix first thing. As for Xposed.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] SantinoInc:
What version of ODIN do you guys on Tmobile have success with the Comsy or regular version?

Second question, regarding debloaters, what's the difference between the 2:

S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_V15.zip (MD5 hash F15CD9BDC35382A8F48FFBEDBB1BCDF0) (any Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge)

S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_Debloater_V15.zip (MD5 hash 4DED5D7B09BB7672723AAA77F395BC87) (any Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
The Princecomsy Odin is for AT&T phones. http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/root-s7-att-g930a-g935a-t3410538/post67593578 As for the v15 fix or debloat the fix only fixes and the fix+debloat does same as fix plus debloat some basic stuff you can get from playstore. The op has extensive lists of exactly what those two flash files do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] SantinoInc:
Thanks for the reply, the ODIN thing wasn't clear to me. One more question since I have your attention:

I notice that in the OP section where you are returning to non root firmware he basically instructs to flash AP, CP and CSC.

I notice that in the latest Tmobile APK1 firmware that I got from sammobile it has AP BL CP CSC and HOME CSC. Do I simply not flash the BL and HOME CSC? I'm confused on this point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
If my memory serves me......the CSC will completely wipe data and return the phone to stock where the Home_CSC does not and will leave your data in place. Not sure I completely understand that, but I use CSC the times I returned to stock on at&t ph1 and my phone was like out of the box stock every time. The BL doesn't need to be used if your Odining same firmware as already on phone. I didn't use it but I'm not sure it would hurt either. If your upgrading firmware then you probably should use the new bl file that goes with that firmware version. This phone is pretty easy to fix as long as you have the correct firmware and Odin to get back to stock. Maybe someone else who knows more can chime in with help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Xerocide:
Thank you! I was able to find a download link to a working flash able file. I am on PH1 now because of that though, do I need to odin to PE1 and start over again with the whole process or can I OTA update and retain root/data?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Ph1 works good. Not sure what latest update is or if it's rootable.....probably is rootable but ph1 is for sure and with the v15 fix works very good. You can no longer go back down to pe1, at least from what I've read, so just reroot from ph1. OTA won't work with root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Xerocide:
Good to know, so far everything is running well I actually thought that PE1 was established newest. Thanks again for your help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:

I'm having a strange issue... Only seems to happen when I'm using Bluetooth to play music and navigation. Seems like the system ui shuts down. Maps keeps working (lagging far behind) but the status bar disappears, incoming calls go to voicemail and I can't switch to any other apps, go to homescreen, open recent apps or anything else.

Ok, so I just got my phone today and I'm eager to jump right in there. However, I'm trying to ascertain if there are any known firmwares that can't be rooted using the method in the OP.

I have the T-Mobile variant with the second newest firmware. Anyone have any insight?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
I think you should be okay......but I'm only saying that based on threads I've read though since I have AT&T variant. What is your phones firmware to be sure though?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] darkreixor:
i've just used your method on my galaxy s7 edge and it worked perfectly!

EXCEPT the battery heats up a lot...is there a way to set the cpu to ondemand automatically?

i'm using kernet audiutor but it doesn't seem to apply on boot when i restart the phone :(

thank you again!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Did you turn 'developer options' back on? Wait that's weird....I thought you were asking about the usb settings? Anyway....if kernel audiutor is root app then I think you need to set supersu to turn on at boot up. Otherwise, did you apply v15 fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] darkreixor:
i was able to change the transfer mode using the developer option, that's why i removed the comment, but i'm still wondering if there's something to fix this?

as for the kernel audiutor app, it just did change the cpu mode from intereactive to ondemand, but it took a few minutes after the restart!

i've installed the S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_Debloater_V15.zip

i thought that would fix the CPU issue. is there anything else i can do? apart of unrooting lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] PSG4m3r:
Okay I've searched the thread, but I haven't seen proof. Is this root method compatible with G930VL (Straight Talk)? Has anyone tried it? I've seen posts asking about this previously but nobody confirmed whether it worked or not. My phone uses Verizon towers and from experience with past Galaxy phones, flashing Verizon compatible stuff seems to work alright. The date on the security patch and kernel scare me though. Here's my build info if it helps at all:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
It should probably work. If you can find your firmware online then it can't hurt to try. Maybe you'll be the first. Report back for others.

---------- Post added at 01:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 PM ----------

Looks like you should be good. Is the phone problematic? If heat or lag is the issue you should give it a few days to settle in and it should stabilize. Apart from unrooting like you mentioned you could try one of the custom roms, if not then give it a few days as it should definitely get better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Stoowyguy:
After this method can i still perform OTA update via T-Mobile to update to latest firmware or no?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] darkreixor:
well the heating seems to have stopped! it just takes FOREVER to restart now. and after it does

I get a pop up "process system isn't responding do you want to close it - wait or ok"

i'm seriously considering unrooting it now, i also haven't seen a difference in the battery
