[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] t436h05t:
I thought I did(but i cannot verify what specifically because of the bootloop), I really wish i didn't reboot. I never recevied a message about a update and the phone didnt reboot on its own(just every app crashing, also note I had xposed installed but no recent mods enabled/installed). Tried stock bootloader then wipe cache(didnt work). Just wiped/data and rebooted ok. Working on re-root now. Took a good 15mins to reboot after wipe/data. If this happens to someone else I hope they will not reboot to see the cause of the crashing. Now I'm really missing a unlocked bootloader, miss restore :D

Disable auto security policy updates in settings...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] t436h05t:
Just re-rooted and installed xposed. Back up and running and disabled all knox and update packages including "auto security policy". I will updated if any other issues arise.

Also does anyone know how to block the su binary update notification in supersu?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
No - just be careful to avoid updating it. Flashing custom ROM with SuperSU 2.78 (the update) stops it.

So I followed the steps outlined on page 1 it restarted and now I'm trying to install SuperSU by following the commands everything seems to work until I get to the last step of typing root.bat nothing happens
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
Are you in the correct folder in command prompt? If not there would be no response.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Izz14:
I had to run the commands more than a few times, but I'm finally rooted. I do have the the SU binary needs to be updated message anyway I can disable that and also what app is used to modify the settings to alleviate the serious lag that I'm getting? I've searched the thread and couldn't pin point an app to use if someone can pinpoint me to the right page that would be awesome folks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] nitroevo:
well the thing is the app allows me to do backups remove apps etc but yet it will never let me freeze anything. i don't get it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
On SuperSU - the only reason it would want to update binary is that you allowed Play Store to update it. There are a number of CPU programs out there people are using so don't want to point at one. Look at some other threads - there are not many - not much going on with this phone since July.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Izz14:
Thanks I guess I'll try a few apps from the PlayStore to see if this will fix the lag issue that is the only thing that is annoying at the moment + That storm hurricane symbol lol I noticed someone linked a a file to flash on pg 123 to help with the lag issue anyone try that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] nlarge:
I have root access as rootchecker says I do.. tried to use adaway and it wont work and su wants to update binary every time you open it(i did not update it, happens right after the install)..

any ideas how to fix this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] StartingLine:
Mine did that, all i could do was wait till it drained the battery and shut off, then plug the charger in and boot into recovery and do a factory wipe/reset

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 PM ----------

Yes, mine did the same thing last night. A few apps crashed so i rebooted, stuck on the T Mobile screen vibrating about every 45 seconds. Since you CAN'T pull the battery on the S7 i had to wait till it went dead. Then i could boot into recovery and do a factory reset.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] anrchy666:
Fyi you dont need to wait for battery to die push and hold buttons to boot into recovery or download mode...

I tried that a few times and it didn't work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
If you did things correct try in order you would have root. That message indicates that you didn't. Make sure you have the correct ODIN and do it again.

If you press all three keys correctly you will always get download mode unless you have a hard bricked device.

In which case, I believe he'd be the first.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Binary100100:
It might be. But if you read and follow directions. If you can't do those, then rooting might prove difficult.

So I guess it depends on you, not your phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] nitroevo:
do you prefer the tek rom or echoe? just curious since i read your signature and never tried tek.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] besttech1450:
Echoes the best but still laggy but it's not the developer fault it's the engineer boot

yea true. i couldn't take it anymore tho even after the cpu fixes. so i'm on stock for now.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] nitroevo:
Yeah that would be awesome. It's nice that they found a way to root but it's definitely not worth having at the moment.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] kcmartz:
I've rooted a few phones in the past, before I attempt this on my TMO s7 Edge, I want to simply root, mainly for the "ClockSync" app to sync it to atomic time. This will work easily w/ the instructions right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] nitroevo:
It should. Don't expect silky smooth performance compared to stock tho because of engineered boot kernel
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] kcmartz:
Roughly how much of the performance is lost? Noticable in every day use or mainly in stuff like gaming?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] nitroevo:
Well it depends. After all the cpu fixes etc it runs better but the phone gets hot too often compared to stock. It lags every now and then but may be tolerable for you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] mrka:
Noticeable in everyday use. I reverted back to stock because it was pretty bad at times.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] kcmartz:
I could use "ClockSync" but I think I can set it to update every 15 min, or every 30 min with time.nist.gov. That way I don't have to root?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Izz14:
I feel you it's not smooth at all I've been rooted for about a week now and at times it's unbearable it does take a lot away from the phone performance. Only reason I'm rooted is because of Xposed. My Note 5 was running smoothly with root too bad the phone was destroyed that's why I'm using the 7 edge now. I see myself going to stock soon or grabbing a OnePlus 3 or something
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Krieger0311:
so other than getting Stuck At The boot Loop And Having To Factory Reset, this Worked Well. I Did The v15 Fix, and Did Not Install Xposed. Unfortunately, now My SnapChat Wont Let Me Login. Any Ideas? Disabling Su And Trying To Login Failed.

That should care of snapchat .

As for rooting, most have had good experiences with the recommended fixes. If won't hurt to try - including a modded and/or custom rom.

Going back to stock is pretty easy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Krieger0311:
Unfortunately, I'm on Tmobile - I saw a post on the last page that said it wasn't working for T-mobile users right now. Of course now not only can I not login to Snapchat, but I also can't open facebook without it crashing, and my phone died after 30 hours today despite me using it maybe twice. I went through and used the v15 fix script located in the verizon s7 edge How To root guide. I also had a cpu governor running in interactive mode.

Any other ideas before I revert back? :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] PRL77:
Just rooted and it worked! I re-enabled all the apps prior to rooting and didn't have to wipe anything, it just worked great!

Couple of things afterwards is some new status icons I haven't seen before and don't understand the purpose of. Screenshot attached with the two icons highlighted.

Secondly and much more annoying is that rebooting forgets wireless networks. Passwords and all that. Passwords have to be entered from scratch every single time. I did a bit of troubleshooting and find that the file /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf gets overwritten to default on every boot. Entering new WiFi networks writes stuff into that file but every reboot wipes it all out. Is this happening to everyone? Any fixes? I tried a few file and folder renames and sync disabling but nothing worked.

Does this work with pk1??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
Give it another try and do not mess with Xposed or other mods (except kernel settings) until it settles down.

Make a backup and then go forward from there. Have had to revert to stoked several time to start over after messing things up. Never had any real issues after rooting but many after messing around.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Krog18:
I think you'd be the first to try, but without a backup fw to odin if things go south you may end up with a brick until you can get your hands on the pk1 firmware. Please let us know if you do try.

Nevermind I see now pk1 is already available on sammobile.com

A big question is how will we adopt rooted Nougat with a MM kernel? I hope we won't be in a situation where we'll have to choose.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Pøîñtßlåñk:
I'll give it another try soon. I see Nougat beta coming hopefully we can get our hands on this soon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
How will a rooted Nougat be available (referring to above)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Binary100100:
That's my question.

Unless we get a leaked engineering bootloader for Nougat or crack it... we won't have root anymore.

Now Samsung is offering a beta program. Goodbye root!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Tin_Man_0:
I keep loosing root. I've had to factory rest my phone and flash full stock and then refresh to root and finally the su.img and apks about 6 or 7 times. Each after verifying I had root and installing flashfire and successfully debloating using flashfire. I usually loose it days later, sometimes without even rebooting! Anyone else having this issue?

G935T Android 6.0.1 Build APD7 although I started with an even prior version and this issue was still there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] nitroevo:
You don't update the su binary right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Tin_Man_0:
No, as a matter of fact, that's usually the first sign that i"ve lost root is becasue SU says it need to be updated. When I try it always fails and then I open other apps like Flashfire and they tell me that they can't get root.

On that note. I have also tried updateing SU to the latest just in case there was some way t-mobile was defeating it. If I try to put SU 2.78 R1 or 2 or 3 on my phone either by flashing with flashfire or downloading the apk and installing or even using the latest flashfire that has Su 2.78 R1 embeded and I choose to Inject SU I will have triggered some secuirty on the phone that pops up right at boot before anthing else tellng me to call the vendor and that i might be charged for a fix.

Can i install viper on stock firmware or do i have to flash custom to use it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
I ran into the same thing when I tried to flash from that thread - Odin'd over it with no problems. I have 2.78 as part of a custom rom, but otherwise you have to stay with 2.76 in the OP instructions and don't let it update thru playstore !!!

Note - did once and was able to continue to use it strangely until I went to echoe custom rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
Will it be possible to get the beta as odin files after it is out? I would think going through tmo beta program would force the latest locked bootloader with it.

With ODIN files we should be able to only do the AP rom and nothing else. I have s4 with ancient pre-knox bootloader and up to date modem (also pretty old now) and have 4.4, 5.0.1, and 6.0 - so I would think the beta rom only would work, as it is signed by samsung.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Binary100100:
It should be. BUT it will be highly unlikely that we can use a 6.0 kernel on a 7.0 rom.

We NEED the updated engineering kernel. Without it, I don't see us having Nougat. Not with root anyway.

Alternatively, we should consider our attempts at unlocking this damn bootloader. IF we can flash a custom kernel, then that would make things so much easier. But don't expect Samsung to unlock the bootloader for us either. We all know that it's a lost cause.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Root-Maniac:
Question regarding the bootloader...

Back in the note 4 days if I remember correctly something was said along the lines when we had temp Root that we needed to void Knox in order to defeat DM verity.... would voiding Knox be a good start to working on the bootloader??

[MENTION=3812611]elliwigy[/MENTION] any do you remember the note 4 situation and do you think voiding Knox would help at an attempt to screw with the bootloader?

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem or if it's already been covered. I've followed all of the instructions and have had amazing success. I love my phone now. There is only one MAJOR issue. When I tweak the cpu governor to the recommended settings. They keep changing on their own randomly.
