It's fairly easy, just download flashfire to your device and go to. http://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960 and click the download OK your phones browser. The website is for the international variant using exonos but it works the same.

How is the lag? Did you notice any performance loss? I followed the steps in the original thread and had to factory reset after being stuck on the Tmo screen (Huge over site on Tmo to add a white splash screen on an AMOLED screen...). After I flashed SU, superSU would lag like crazy. It would take 2 mins for root requests to popup. I never felt so happy to odin back to stock after that. I didnt think of flashing all odin files and just replacing the AP slot. Maybe that will make a difference?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discuss] AceDaMack:
I had the same problem all is good now just let your phone rest so it can learn battery usage and download no frills cpu or any goody kernel tweaker and change govn. To interactive this will help lag. You just have to let phone sit it will fix itself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discuss] DetoxVenom:
He is right, I have no lag right now. I think I'm faster then before, however boot times are scary slow...

Quite a few people have soft bricked doing this. They also get a screen the same color as download mode, but with a security message. Something about making changes to the system.

Yours went fine first go?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discuss] AceDaMack:
Ok here is the thing. If you are going to root, if you have used package disabler or any app like that to disable package on the stock firmware then you got to install the eng boot you have to factory rest after installing the eng boot if not it will soft brick. It's something about disabled package that will soft brick if u try to boot after installing eng boot.

So to avoid soft brick just enable the stuff you disabled then try. Or if you don't feel like disabling the packages first just install the right eng boot on ur phone when it hangs at the white screen try to turn off your phone or try to get in recovery and do a factory rest it should boot right up then. It might take about 10 min be patient.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discuss] seanvree:
What's the downfall fo doing this with reference to future updates? Will we have to wipe the phone again?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discuss] AceDaMack:
Yes you will have to factory rest the good thing now is that we can go back to stock firmwares, so what I'm saying is a future update might patch this exploit altogether and you won't be able to got back. I would suggest staying on the firmwares you are on because if a July security update comes out it might patch all. This is why we need a firmware thread with all firmware and correct files for this model.

Jump is like financing the phone. You're allowed to jump 3 times a year and you could keep your device which I did with my note 3 (payd it off) or you could jump to the next new device whenever you want. Your payments take over on the new device. The T-Mobile site or a rep should be able to tell you more and if you're eligible.

How come when I flash back to stock via odin the phone is fast an snappy again? Why do these things need to happen once root is acquired?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discuss] Soooperstar:
Because the kernel is generic when rooted. Not a stock kernel
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discuss] colbur87:
This isn't exactly true. There is a distinction between Jump and Jump On Demand. These are two separate promotions offered by tmobile. The former allows customers to switch to a new phone once the balance of said phone is < 50%, the latter is the program that you describe. I have JOD and noticed retail stores starting to move away from that promotion.

---------- Post added at 07:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 AM ----------

What do you mean by 'generic' kernel?

I didn't think a kernel is being flashed since we have a locked bootloader? It was my understanding that Odin simply re-partitions/redistributes files over the file system. Also if what your saying is true, wouldn't changing the governor still be altering this 'generic' kernel? I just want to be clear on what happening. Rooting is a whole different game with these locked bootloaders. When I was doing this years ago, it was never an issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discuss] Soooperstar:
I guess I should have said probably. I'm not 100% but I had an S6 also and that was part of the process to get it to work. The kernel was included in the Odin package. I haven't rooted my S7 yet so I can't check to see..... Sorry
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discuss] AKW:
From what I've gathered, the ENG Boot is an engineering kernel that is normally used by service centers to service the device. I'm not sure the difference between this kernel and the stock one that allows root, but there is something about it that allows changes to be made to the system. The problem lies in the fact that it is a generic, non-device-specific kernel, therefore it's not as optimized as the stock kernel. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I'm at least close lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discuss] NiN39Z:

The hurricane looking icon is for RCS, the next step up from sms/mms, they're trying to make it an industry standard at the moment, also if you have LTE and you're out an about you'll probably see a voLTE symbol as well, as of currently I have been unable to find a way to remove them from our models of the phone (t-mobile branded) hopefully somebody comes up with a way to get around this soon.

My friend owns the Sprint S7 Edge. How stable is this root? (If I'm reading this thread correctly there are finally US roots?) May I have link to the guide? (Not proving easy to find which makes me question the reliability of the root, but not going to discount it). He knows nothing about rooting, and I don't really see him learning TBH - he'd just like to have his phoned rooted so he can have the availability with a couple extra tweaks. I'm his only reliable source if issues were to arise, and I'm also the only person he knows who knows about rooting.

I'm confident in my rooting abilities, I'm still fairly new but I learn pretty fast. I've made a couple silly (well silly now that I know) mistakes...but haven't done anything detrimental ----- to phones that matter anyway. In the VERY beginning of my rooting I have bricked an LG Coolpad Rouge and another cheap LG prepaid, forget what it was. But I'm happy I decided to start learning with the easily replaceable cheap phones.

If there is a stable and reliable root I've got no worries about getting it knocked out. But if he needs to ensure he has someone who can provide technical support to maintain it... then I will not root it for him.

Thanks

That didn't do much. When disabling IMS phone calls don't end on their on when dialing out but of course I can't send texts until I re enable it. Cleared caches for IMS service , dialer, messages any other app that might be at fault and the phone itself no difference. It didn't do that before wiping. So I'm lost on what happened. I thought I had it linked back to the security log agent cause it seemed to not force close when I unfroze it but I think that was just coincidence cause it started doing it again. So now I just have the stupid unauthorized pop up again
