+1 on this. There are issues listed here and there but no one has made a list of things that work and don't work. Would help with my decision to root or not.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
Yeah mine too......

I root everything in the past but so many issues with this makes it hard to decide. A nice chart of all issues, with solutions or not, would make it easier to track and understand the side effects.

Thanks to all who got it this far.....much more talented than myself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] FilthyFord:
Or you could root, search through the thread and find all the fixes and make your own list of things that work and don't work for you. Not everyone uses the same apps and services that you use. So it's different for everyone. Personally i have rooted and ran the fixes from the Verizon forum and haven't had any issues, however to me my phone is for texting or talking, no games or buying stuff from it (Samsung pay our att pay or whatever it is) all user experience is gonna be different. Experiment and come up with what works for you. Quit waiting on others. A lot of things you do to your phone WILL take a few days to set in to work properly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dlscott1111:
Fair point. Didn't mean to upset, just asking.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] stew1411:
Is there a way to unroot instead of flashing the whole firmware? I was wondering if you just uninstall supersu and reflash the stock kernel would work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] FilthyFord:
You didn't upset me. And i don't mean to come off rude (i get that alot and don't mean it that way) i used to lurke around the forum looking for things such as this and finally got tired of it and started doing my own trouble shooting and have learned a lot by doing so.

Edit: also yall should check out these threads, i used both of them to a T to get my phone running smooth as butter.

Has anyone tried this method on The S7 active SM-G891A yet ? I know it's been asked before but no one has answered yet. Desperately need root on this phone for tethering with my unlimited data plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] snovvman:
I'm curious about that also. I don't have an 891 and would only get one if I can root. I searched around and found no one who has tried. Since the method is based on an engineering bootloader and the bootloader is (as far as I know) specific to the phone, I don't know how that can work...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wasuhz:
That is the hardest part for me... I've never owned an android phone unrooted. I have unlimited data from att that i often tethered during football season with root. This phone has everything i need in a phone. I absolutely love the batter life, but not being able to root and install a custom ROM is killing it for me. I just ordered the international unlocked version of the S7 so we'll see....i have a feeling i'll have to swap to that one. I Would be fine with just a simple root on this phone and no custom ROM

i read on teamuscellular that the galaxy s7 and i believe s7 edge worked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] FansGalaxy:
is this rooting method working on sm-g935j(kddi) galaxy s7 edge?

when i flashed GalaxyS7Edge/Samsung_G935x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR with Modified Odin. Odin’s status shows PASS! but,my phone was gone to bootloop.so, when my phone reboot by bootloop i saw ‘Set Warranty Bit Kernel…’ and press home +power+vol – then shows custom os warning and go to downloading mode. then i saw Warranty Void: 0x1

has anyone to solve this issues?

Please Help me.. thx.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GandalfGrayhame:
OK, I'm rooted at this point. I didn't read well enough and accepted the option to encrypt my phone which messed up su. I had to factory reset it and wipe it , reflashed and set the phone to no encryption. Now it's rooted, Debloated and fixed . Great work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] FilthyFord:
If you in bootloop after flashing the engkernel or rooting then you need to boot into recovery and factory reset. That will fix the issue.

If it's not causing a problem you can ignore them. Most of them aren't errors, just info that get outputted using stderr.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ncoig:
So how do I know if it's "causing a problem" or not... doesn't the phone seeing these errors every other second cause excessive drain?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] qwewqa:
You can't install an update if rooted. If you do update manually using Odin or smart switch, you will loose root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] FilthyFord:
Do you have confirmation that you lose root if you take the ota? Have you liked at the update if so what changed in it?

Thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] highaltitude:
OTA update will fail. It does not work that way, once rooted. I flashed my phone back to stock, and updated to the newest FW G934AUCS2APH and have since rerooted my phone again. Updated just said "security enhancements" or something similar.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] highaltitude:
Now however, Titanium Backup will not find or see my backups.

*Edit* found out that because TB won't write to external SD card, I had backed up to internal. When I used ES File Explorer to copy the TB folder to SD card , it added .zip to some files and .txt to others. Changing files back to .gz and .properties fixes it, but it's a PIA to have to do for hundreds of files!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] snovvman:
I know it is possible to flash the U ROM onto A hardware.

Questions:

1) I presume it is also possible to flash[fire] a 'custom' TMo-based ROM onto the A variant?

2) Is it also possible to Odin the full T-Mobile ROM onto the 930/5A?

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] snovvman:
Found my answers in case someone else is interested in the same.

You don't want to flash T on A for now. T-Mos use V3 bootloader while ATT/U use V2. If you go to TMo, you're stuck on TMo ROM until A/U go to V3.

http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s7/help/flash-t-mobile-s7-rom-att-s7-t3440914

U is the way to go with TMo. WiFi calling and VoLTE both work. I posted to find out if video calling works.

OK Thanks to all involved....I got root.

As stated before I'm on at&t glxy s7 G930AUCS2APH1 latest update a couple days ago.

I actually ended up using the package billa compiled and it made process very simple.

I then used flashfire and flashed the fix file S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_V15.zip by psouza4 and it seemed to fix all visible problems except the phone still seems very hot....probably will fix itself over time.

Will post back more as things transpire. Thanks again.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] snovvman:
Have you successfully done this? I was on PF1, rooted, backed up w/ FlashFire. I then flashed to PF2, re-rooted, and restored /data with FlashFire. On first boot, many FCs, including IMS and Process, CPU pegged at near 100%, no radio service. On reboot, still the same. The only way I can get back to working again is to restore /system from PF1 also. I tried several times with minor variations, each time I got the same result. I don't want to use Titanium because it requires too much work to get back to the way it was. I'm wondering why FlashFire restore didn't work. Again, if I restore both /system and /data, everything works fine, but that defeats the purpose of the update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
I got a quick question please.

As stated before I'm on at&t glxy s7 G930AUCS2APH1 latest update a couple days ago and fully rooted per this op and fixed using the psouza4 fix.

Therefore.......at this point can I safely do a factory reset of the phone, using the internal settings menu, to get back to stock?

I'm thinking probably not.....but I had to ask.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
Ok now I gotta a problem with texting. It was all working fine before rooting, so not sure if it's related to all the root stuff I just did to the phone but I can receive texts but I can't send them. Not a clue what's going on. Any help?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] FilthyFord:
No
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:
That's what I thought. So then is the problem with my broken texting fixable another way. I can receive texts but I can't send texts....they all FAIL. I also don't know when it started or if rooting is even the cause since I never really tested it immediately after rooting. Anyone have this happen or know how to fix? Thanks

Problem Solved: AT&T phone support flipped a switch that fixed it. I think I messed up my 'message center ' number and it needed to be reset. I also don't think it was anything to do with root?? Thankfully all is back to normal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] snovvman:
FYI for those who might try it--I was able to do a full FlashFire restore of /data and /system. Everything appeared to work fine, but there was a problem with the fingerprint reader. Background: From experience with previous Samsung/Note devices, unless I clear the registered fingerprints, a TWRP /data restore would cause the inability to use the fingerprint reader. Therefore, before I made the S7 backup with FlashFire, I cleared the fingerprints and screen lock.

After the restore, the fingerprint reader no longer works to register fingerprints. I get a "Fingerprint reader not responding" error. I tried clearing the "Fingerprint" app data, rebooted, no joy. I suspect a factory reset will solve the problem, which means there are some files I can delete to solve the problem. I just don't know which. I guess the idea of using FlashFire to restore in order to prevent a full rebuild after an update now has another nail in its coffin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saf4xdadev:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] qwewqa:
You can update the binary by flashing the latest update through FlashFire. Then reflashing engboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] crackinx:
And it updates without causing any issues?

I'm actually confused, the playstore is pushing 2.78 but I can only seem to find 2.76 as stable and 2.77 beta atm. Odd.
