I agree it is sad sammy had to lock down their phones but that doesn't bother me since I've had many phones with locked bootloaders. Aka my vzw s4, vzw note 3, vzw droid turbo, and sprint note 5 all had locked bootloaders and somebody always found a way to unlock it and release a custom recovery and custom roms for them. & again I have a locked bootloader on my sprint s7 edge but I'm sure someone will find a way to unlock it and release a custom recovery. I have faith in the devs after all everyone was like no this phone wasn't going to get root at all because of the locked bootloader but here we are with root now. I don't mind waiting for a dev to unlock the bootloader, sure I know it will take time but I'm sure it will happen though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Duck Quan:
I'm a noob here but I have had my fair share of rooted phones. I'm aware that recently the edge got the PG1 update and I know it's for security patches but I was wondering if it changed how it needed to be rooted?

I just bought the phone brand new yesterday and immediately followed this root method. The root itself was VERY easy following these instructions.

I *did* initially suffer terrible overheating and lag, but it seemed to go away after adjusting the kernel governor setting.

But

for whatever reason this setting doesn't seem to persist after reboot. I'm using Kernel Aduitor and I tried the "set at boot = yes" setting. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong.

Has anyone tried rolling back to PB5, that wasn't already on it from the engineering bootloader?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
Yup, look at the advanced section in faq #5. Don't necessarily think you might need busy box on rails but since the kernel app asked for it I included it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] WarAxe:
I downloaded the kernel tweaker and will use that instead of kernel auduitor. Incidentally, my settings started to persist after a few reboots.

Actually, I'll just point out that after root my phone did act weird until I rebooted a few times.

Hows the battery life working out for you guys that have been rooted for a while now? Is it as good or close to the unlocked PEH firmware? Ive been on PEH for a while now and its rock solid. For comparison, today Ive been on battery for 13hrs 40min, its sitting at 51%, and SOT is 2hr 35min. Ive regularly gotten 6hrs SOT with room to go (depending on phone use) before needing to charge.

Any idea what would happen if I revert my bootloader back to stock after rooting?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] MTechRD:
Your bootloader or your rom?

... what do you mean? :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] LeftyGR:
I think he means the kernel. It is called boot.img...

When flashfire tries to reboot to system, it will fail. Then you'll need to Odin back.

"In order to bypass dm-verity's boot prevention, you will have to install a kernel that has dm-verity disabled in the fstab." from twrp on S6 edge. They don't list our device as supported. I can only assume from that it won't work but if you wanna try it.......

Bootloader is still locked and it need to be unlocked in order to flash twrp!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] donbudafuko:
Yes that is true bit we can still flash roms with flashfire or flashify...or can we not..i know with other phones that did not have a bootloader unlockef still was able to flash roms as long as there were stock roms..so we could have a tweeked out customizable stock rom...not sure no on has started any roms yet i would love to kyself but i have been out of everything way to long..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] izzibew26:
In my limited opinion until the dmverity issue is resolved, we're limited to scripted pushing/pulling etc.....of custom files individually or in batches, like tekhd's mods. so the first thing we need is a good themer/dev with some spare time......hopefully [MENTION=1167171]rompnit[/MENTION] was here to help out us little folks. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Duck Quan:
So I've been going through making sure all the apps function correctly and the only problem I've found so far is that the Secret tabs no longer work in the Internet app. Not that it matter cause I'm sure a lot of us use chrome. But other than that. Everything is solid. Just wanna get some ROMs now

i have no idea what you just said but when my phone loads there is a unlock lock on the boot screen and it says custom. i dont think im properly rooted because i download several root checkers and their saying im not rooted. but my phone when it starts up act as though im rooted. i just want to take this thing off my dang phone

Sounds like you only flashed the bootloader but didn't actually root. The unlock shows with the engineering bootloader. Just Odin the stock firmware to go back
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] MTechRD:

It might seem that way at first, but changing the kernel doesn't actually affect the radios. It does reset them, but that's it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Duck Quan:
Since root I've noticed significant lag and RAM usage. I only have about 700 mb of free ram at any given time. And lag really hits when using snapchat for some reason. I don't know if it's because the app or the root. Also battery life has gone down. Now I usually only get about 10 hours instead of my usual 15. I just want a custom rom to fix all this
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
Have you tried the tweaks mentioned at the beginning of this thread? For the governor? They make a huge difference. Also, there is a thread with mods for rooted S7 in this section you might want to check out.

Here:

http://xdaforums.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/how-to-tweaks-mods-rooted-s7e-t3419921
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Duck Quan:
Yes I have done the tweaks. They did reduce a lot of lag but I'm still experiencing more than I would without root. I guess I'll check out some mods to see what I can find. As for ram idk what to do
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
Honestly, as far as RAM goes, unless you're running out it's fine. If you're using it, it's being used. That's why it's there. If you're running out, and things are crashing, that's a problem. But yes, it could be using more of the battery. Getting rid of all the Sprint garbage saves me a huge amount of battery life. My phone didn't come with it for whatever reason.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Duck Quan:
I know this is probably the wrong thread for this but is it possible to just make apps and their data into flashable zips using an app and flash them on a custom rom. For example zipping the stock camera and all its data and flashing it on a custom rom. Would it work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] WarAxe:
I, too, have done the kernel tweaks and still find my performance and battery to be inferior from before rooting. Although, after all it *is* supposed to be an engineering kernel, so this is really just a fact of our root method.

However, I had not yet heard about the [MENTION=1599591]psouza4[/MENTION] All-In-One Mod Package. I will try that. Thanks to [MENTION=4303103]LeftyGR[/MENTION] for making it known to us.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] LeftyGR:
Also run this every once in a while...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Duck Quan:
I Uninstalled some more system apps and rebooted which seemed to free up a lot of ram...only problem my phone rebooted and got stuck on splash page. Had to factory reset and lost root sadly. I think it had something to do with uninstalling the galaxy gear app. Cause I factory reset and none of the system apps came back except for that one. *edit* after factory reset and re root everything is running exceptionally smooth
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Duck Quan:
As you can see ram usage is the lowest it's ever been for me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] psouza4:
You shouldn't use app killers. Having a lot of free RAM isn't an indication of a fast phone -- you want apps that are hibernated (in doze) so they can be started quickly. Having 70-80% RAM used is ideal for our model of phone. There's a lot of guides out there that'll warn against using task killers for exactly this reason.

Cheers!

...and after today's improvements I now get a bootloop. *grr*

Downloading stock as we speak to unbrick, reroot, and FlashFire this morning's backup (which I thankfully made).

This is the life I chose. :-|

-----------------------------

Honestly, this has me spooked a little bit. Unlike normal root where I can have TWRP installed and restore my phone anywhere anytime... now I need access to ODIN to restore.

UPDATE (8/1/2016 0900)

...aaaand the FlashFire backup must've contained whatever alien embryo that soft-bricked me yesterday because I'm boot-looping again. :-|

Well, I'm back from vacation guys. Admittedly, I exposed my phone to the pool for longer than the recommended 30 minutes. Maybe like 2-4 hours. Water seaped in through the top where the screen meets the bezel. Secretly, I wanted to see how far I could push the water resistance. The touch screen, wifi, and fingerprint scanner all work fine but my battery doesn't charge past 81 percent. The mobile radio no longer works and shows 'disabled' which means I can't make any phone calls. Not to worry, having worked for Sprint, I have my replacement coming in today.

When I was travelling I noticed that there was a international APN that populated in my APN list but it didn't let me view the details since I wasn't rooted and it was grayed out. I had unrooted just in case it wouldn't work right and I needed to make an emergency call or something. I'm assuming if you populate this international apn into the list one should be able to get data working.

I will be going back through the forum and revising a few things as I've read different things that have been found since my away.

Weird Behavior

So I complete the root steps and all goes well until about a week or 2 being rooted. First:

google play services stops working. I can check my email but i can not use google play. few other error toast notifications happens.

Second when i reboot, get stuck on sprint splash screen with and phone gets ridiculous hot.

third, I i Odin back SPR-G935PVPU2APD3-20160425132830 which gets me back into my phone but obviously i loose root.

when i go back to root device again, problem arise again. any ideas? I really hate having all that sprint junk on my phone and i need ADFee

When i restore my flash fire files, i get the same problems.

Happened to me too along with alot of other people. I had to Odin and factory reset to get back. No one has a concrete answer. Someone mentioned that they thought they fixed it by freezing security policy updates.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] WarAxe:
Honestly, after reflashing stock and deciding against root I couldn't be happier. Now that I have a few days of daily use unrooted I am pleasantly surprised with the battery life and the interface speed. That engineering kernel sucked badly... it's not worth root to have a crippled phone. My S5 is rooted and rock solid and outperforms my rooted S7... so I'd be better off taking the S7 back to the store rather than rooting it.

Until a "real" root comes along, that is. :)
