not possible if you trip knox and in order to get root you need to trip knox.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] chipworkz:
One of them is from Google and doesn't care about Knoxx and the other is from Samsung and does care about Knoxx. Two completely different things. The Samsung Pay not working after Knoxx is tripped has been going on for a year as of tomorrow. The systemless root that doesn't trip Knoxx is one thing but as soon as you start flashing, kiss Samsung Pay goodbye.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] bajasur:
Yep, and worst of all. Once it's tripped, Samsung pay will never work again on that device
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] JasontheKep:
Luckily for me, if root becomes available its a no-brainer. Samsung pay doesn't support my bank, and I won't have a credit card. Even if Samsung Pay would work for me, it would still be an easy choice to have root instead. I would like to play around with altering the speaker volume, deleting bloatware, making tweaks, ad blocking, etc.

Why can't those of us with t variants just flash the unlocked w8 bootloader? Seems like we've been left an out? Yes?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tiger62651:
In order for you to flash anything to any bootloader, it needs to be unlocked. With it locked Odin says it can't. So till the note 7 gets unlocked (in time) we have to wait. Phone only few days old, be work around soon.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] bajasur:

[MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] did you ever get a Tar?

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] JaguarXT:
That is true. Android 7 Nougat will have more security features that Samsung is going to take advantage of with the Galaxy Note 7. That may make unlocking bootloader and rooting even more difficult.

It looks like the sprint guys have obtained an engineering bootloader/kernel. Someone may be able to do something with this for us..
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jovy23:
I got the stock n930t boot.img but im wondering is how would i go by making a kernel "engboot". I also removed dm-verity but that didn't work. All i get is a failed message through odin. Another testing i have done is I even just modified one simple thing in the stock kernel say in default.prop ro.secure=1 to =0 and i still get a failed messsge. Once i flashed the stock unmodified version of the kernel i would get a success message and works which means any modification to the kernel will cause it to fail i just have to see what in the kernel checks for md5 changes or it may be something else if more devs can help together, then we can get this working.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] freeza:
Bro, please stop trying. This is obviously far above your skill level.

1. There is no way to convert a kernel to an "engboot."

2. The bootloader is LOCKED, so anything you do to the kernel's ramdisk will obviously not work because the whole point of dm-verity and a locked bootloader, among other things, is to stop the modification of system images, including the kernel ramdisk. Surely you didn't think it would be as easy as unpacking the boot.img, changing the ro.secure value from 1 to 0, then repacking..... did you?

3. The kernel doesn't "check" for anything MD5 related.

4. The bootloader is rejecting your changes, not the kernel.

5. Nothing you do to the boot.img, no matter how many devs you have, will do any good.

Hang tight, guys. We're trying everything we can. :P
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] bajasur:
I tried this method, as far as I can tell it has not worked for me. I will keep testing though. It booted me into stock recovery with a failed system mount message.

Im not saying it could not work or did not work for you, I would just be careful TMO users trying this until it has been proven successful on our end.

Have you tried it with the att files? I was able to do it with sprint and us cellular files, with sprint I had not volte or hspa+ and It kept trying sprint activation and U. S. Cellular just didn't have volte, I know att and T-Mobile networks are similar so it may work

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] ethanscooter:
This issue used to happen on the Note 5 when you would flash an international ROM.

You would fix it by making a flashable zip with these contents:

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] omf05:
It would make sense since the S7 Edge Eng Kernel was from sprint and we just flashed it over the stock T_mobile firmware. But this is a new phone, so if things work differently I can understand.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] DanRyb:
Well I'm keeping my fingers crossed! Looks like AT&T obviously works and seems like Verizon is working now too. Gotta be a way to get T-Mobile to work! I can't wait to get home from work so I can start trying too lol

I'm sure you guys will figure it out.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Root-Maniac:
Sounds like you are all getting in a race! LOL Im honestly shocked we are even talking about having root since this device just came out. Hats off to all of you!!! Cant wait to see who makes it to the finish line first!!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] AssassinsLament:
In theory, you should be able to extract the t-mobile system.img, and make that into a flashable zip with root, then flash sprint's userdebug, then flash everything back to t-mobile except AP, then boot into regular system (which should still be Sprint's) then root it, then install FlashFire and flash the t-mobile flashable zip. So in the end, we would have a sprint boot.img, but t-mobile system with root.

Assuming that VoLTE and WiFi calling isn't integrated into the boot.img
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] bstollyy:
I agree with you Root-Maniac! Cheers to the winner of this race! I can't wait until we have root on this kicka.. device!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] ethanscooter:
Oh my God I literally thought the same thing. However, you'll need to do a little bit of modification. Working on it now.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] goonygugle:
I attempted to do this when I was working on the att version and when I would flash the system. Img I would "permission denied" when I tried to su, any attempt to flash system or the kernal I would lose root but could flash anything else
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] AssassinsLament:
Are you trying to flash a system.img or are you deleting everything in system/ and then extracting files into it? I'm thinking if you wipe system and then extract t-mobile files into it, that it would work. Also think it would be easier than trying to find all the files needed to run VoLTE / Wifi Calling.

(I haven't had a chance to try anything, so I'm just throwing out ideas)
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] RoidDroidVoid:
That's probably the way it needs to be done. That way the process doesn't depend on a flash in order to get the system back to stock w/root since the problem is probably that the non-matching system isn't passing a signature verification.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] albinoman887:
and you tried flashing all sprint then flash tmo system.img over it?

It shows up like that because I'm didn't flash the rest of the t-mobile files.

Thanks, I'm sorry for the low quality, grammar lacking thread on how to root it. I'll update it tomorrow with a more detailed explanation. Spent around 4 hours trying to somehow root the T-Mobile firmware w/ FlashFire and the rooted sprint firmware. Everytime I would fail I had to reflash the sprint firmware which would take 30 minutes each time I did it then I had to think of a new way to do it. I can't believe fixing LTE was this easy otherwise I wouldn't have spent all that time. Oh well, it was totally worth it. I hope we're making some sort of "you can't stop us" statement to Samsung.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] bajasur:

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jovy23:
Even with root i managed to get the stock tmo system on my device, but even while having all of the stock frameworks it still doesn't fix volte or wifi calling it has to do with the kernel i believe since i would still end up with the sprint userdebug kernel on my device and can't flash the complete stock tmobile one or a patched supersu version of it because of dm-verity and the bootloader. But ive made great progress though and made things a bit easier, but I'm going to need to do more testing i will keep you guys updated.
