No no. You still have to use the Eng.Img to flash the phone with Odin as per page one of this procedure. But when you get to the part that you install the root.bat, you use the one that was in the post that you just quoted.

Hope this helps...

I'm not sure, all you can do is flash it and see what happens. What carrier is PL6?

You have to flash all the files but use HOME.CSC to retain your data and not lose anything.

https://xdaforums.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/heres-how-rooted-nougat-s7-edge-g935t-t3567502

Specifically:

WiFi passwords fix

Set ro.securestorage.support to false in build.prop

Before and after rooting wipe the cache.

For tweak settings to stick, must reboot multiple times.

Lag free rooting:

Do NOT have any kernel editors or Lspeed installed when installing this please. Make sure you have the eng kernel installed. On your PC just unzip the file and double click the root.bat file to install.

After phone reboots instantly power off phone and reboot to recovery and wipe cache partition then reboot.

After power up let phone sit for 5-10 mins DON'T TOUCH IT, I KNOW ITS HARD BUT JUST DON'T DO IT!!!

Reboot one last time

Once it boots up open to home screen and just let it settle for a minute. DO NOT go into super su app, just leave it be!!! Open a app you know needs root permission and make sure the root prompt pops up. Let me know how the phone runs.

You seen what i froze. I went to developer option and set all 3 animations to off. Other than that i can't think of anything else i did. Again though.

Go into settings

Click Cellular Network Preferred

Go back two times and click on Mobile networks

Select Network mode and select 3G/2G (auto connect)

Restart your phone and call 611 just to make sure the call goes through

I've read that one of the issues with Engineering kernels is that they spend no time on performance; they're mostly for proof of concept, development, and debugging.

At that, has anyone tried disabling logging in this context, since that could be a MAJOR performance hit to the OS? (I'm not sure if thats possible with this current setup.) If that's not possible or desired, is it easy enough to turn logging on an OS level to ERROR only? (I'm assuming an engineering kernel has logging turned up to its max and is at VERBOSE+.) I'd be very surprised if this didn't cause any noticeable positive effect on performance. My knowledge is limited here on how to do this if it hasn't been tried already, but hopefully some can chime in.

I have the AT&T Galaxy S7, and this doesn't seem to work for me. I followed all of the instructions. Odin shows PASS after installing the .tar file. I ran root.bat from the folder I unzipped the SuperSU files into. I have the SuperSU app, but it won't update the binary, and nothing has root. Any suggestions on what I could have done wrong?

P.S. Both Odin and the Command Prompt where run as Administrator.

S7 no lag/no heat root method

I was exited to read about your method, because recently I have achieved a similar no lag/no heat result, BUT in a slightly different manner.

I thought my accidental findings might be relevant to this Nougat thread, even though I did it on the MM version.

I have started out with a G930P (Sprint) model on G930PVPU4APL6 pure stock, and factory data/cache wiped in recovery, without a sim card in the phone.

After the wipe, I booted straight into download mode and flashed it with G930UUEU4APL2 "U" firmware in order to de-customize it, and universalize it (if there's such a word hehe).

Next, flashed the MM Eng-Boot-Root kernel.

As soon as it started to re-boot, I have inserted a Verizon sim card, selected restart at the prompt, and let it do its customization process (blue screen with a sim card image).

As soon as it started to re-booted again, I have swapped the sim card out with an Tmobile one, and again let it do its customization process (blue screen with a sim card image).

Re-booted again just for good measure, and tested it.

At this point I'm surmising, that the two customization re-boots have sort of mimicked your re-boot method, because now I have a butter smooth, no lag/no heat device, even without running the Root.bat file, or any other tweaks at all.

Unfortunately I no longer have access this "borrowed" phone to be able to replicate the experiment on the Nougat version.

So, if somebody is willing to try it on Nougat version and report back, it would be great.

By the way, the sim cards do not have to be active, just to be from two different carriers in order to trigger the customization process.

Now, I know you've achieved a similar result with your manual re-boot, but perhaps using this method the timing may not be as critical, since the sim insertion triggers it automatically.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Monica Jae:
i'm pretty sure. i'll double check tho.

so, what i'm guessing is that they did not copy over, or replace the original files. i did it via terminal emulator, and when i checked the permissions were correct, but the files weren't.

could you suggest a reliable method for me to replace these files? i can't seem to do so with file manager. and even though i su root in term, i'm still failing.

err no... ugh. oh man, is it that involved? i mean, i'm familiar with mounting, when installing linux. to a pc.

do i need to reboot into a special environment with those variables? now that you ask that question, of course it makes sense that the changes didn't take. it makes perfect sense.

or can i just remount in my normal boot environment? but then, i would have to set parameters to remount which means...

ok, so, is there a tut, or is this a simple to do? without expecting that you're gonna walk me through this step by step, is there a thread that explains this process?

or, am i just doing this for this specific file transfer.

do i need to chroot?

thanks, btw, for pointing these things out lol

************** OK i'm just going to wing it and mount /system rw... and cross my fingers.**********************************

i succeeded the mount/remount. but then forgot to move the -- wait, since my Download directory isn't "connected" to the remounted /system, how do i move the file-- i think i've gone mad.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] qwewqa:
You can just run the remount command as su in a terminal and then copy (using cp) and set permissions. Using the terminal is the most difficult way to do this. Use a root file manager. I use solid explorer, but most should work. If one does not work, try another.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Monica Jae:
Yeah, that will probably be the best way to go about this. I need to get a root file manager and then do this but probably later when I have some free time. I'll be in touch.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Araltd:
If you read back thru the thread, it's been well established that some "phones" are just different... Some have excellent results with this root while others simply do not. There is no "cure" for those that do not perform well, especially not one generic fix that works on every phone. The method being used to obtain root in the thread has a little magic built in, as it was never intended as a rooting tool, it was meant for something else, but some very clever and determined people figured out a way to make it work for obtaining root access.. (Thank them all!)

My point is, some people run this root procedure and love it. They get an acceptable level of performance (for them) and root access as a bonus. Others just don't, the performance is bad, they have issues, etc. Maybe the cpu in your phone doesn't handle the eng boot as well as the one in my phone does, or vice versa. (just an example)

Lag, heat, etc... The results vary greatly from phone to phone * user to user. I'm sorry.... That's not the answer you want to hear but it's the truth. Heck, that's not the answer I want to give you, but it's still the truth.

Unfortunately, those of us who want real root access, and also want Samsung phones need to stop buying carrier branded devices. They are bootloader locked with 1024bit encryption (I'm told?) so you can see why this root method is a "gift" by some very talented people (all thanked in the OP - go back there and hit the thanks button for all involved and who've contributed - seriously do it... It costs you nothing and means something to them/us! )

And as I understand it the newer generation (s8/s8+) has even more boot security. :( (usa carrier variants anyways)

Buying from USA carriers no longer allows root access. This is the future... Welcome to it.

So from what it looks like to me ENG_KERNEL.zip flashed correctly and USB debugging was checked. The new custom boot screen started loading. I even got the the hurricane VoLTE icon and the extreme lag. I just gave up downloaded the recovery files from off the thread to revert the changes and realized that the recovery file were for BQB1 and i was running BQC1 so i just found out that downgrading is possible i'm guessing as long as i stay on Nougat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
From what I have found out, as long you are on Boot Loader 4, you can go from MM to Nougat, Nougat to MM and all the different versions. Again as long it is with the BL 4. You can tell by the 9th number in the full version as long as it is 4. At least with BQC2 and previous, with my dealings with these ENG_KERNELs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] bamamanrtr:
I can confirm that. I went from N BQD4 back to MM APK1 just last night.

I had been running the no lag root for well over a month. It had been running great. Minor issues at best. I did very little as far as tweaks. Used Greenify and wakelock detector. That's about it. Great battery, no heat, no lag, life is good. About 10 days ago, I picked phone up leaving work, and it was burning up. Wth?? Nothing out of the ordinary on wakelock. Nothing anywhere that I saw would cause that. Freaked me out it had gotten so hot. Then the battery life I was getting left me. I was getting worse than stock. Literally couple two or three hours and battery was gone. And am not a heavy user. Not a gamer. Stream movies...thats the bulk of my use. Anyway, I decided I'd see how stock was doing. Flashed BQA6. Then took the OTA to BQD4. Didn't take long to see that stock still sucks. I couldn't answer a phone call because the answer button wouldn't slide. When the screen would timeout, I'd press power button to bring it back up...nothing. I couldn't even get to recovery. But when I plugged a charger in, instantly came on. Stupid. I don't like Nougat. I don't like the way it looks. I don't like the way it smells. They should have called it Goobers. It would match the brains that be who had the bootloaders locked down. They have had more than enough time to get this right. Unlock us. Let our folks fix this crap. Its like a comedy routine gone terribly wrong. All I can do is just sit here and hope the next act is better. Pretty sure I know the answer to that. Oh well....i guess I'll go convert some boot animations from 2010 to qmg files. Woo hoo!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jshamlet:
I went back to bone stock after my phone crapped out while recording video of my daughter at the zoo. Even recording to internal flash was jumpy as hell with the engineering kernel, but without a computer, I was a bit stuck. However, even stock Nougat has issues with random slowdowns on my phone. There are times when it will hang for no apparent reason, and yes, I've missed calls as a result.

I am seriously tempted to go back to MM and block the update service, because while it may be nicely themed and pretty, Nougat isn't turning out to be much of an upgrade. I'm keeping my Tab S2 on MM for now as a result.

I have an AT&T Galaxy S7 baseband version G930AUCS4BQC2. This didn't work for me. I just got this phone today and I'll admit, I was VERY anxious to have root access after having the infamous G920A (that bastard). Odin flashes it fine. If anything, I'm more worried about this when running the adb cmd prompt.

[IMG="HELP ME JEBUS. HELP ME PLS"]https://gyazo.com/1f487a733266737a12e2bb93ead7dd78[/IMG]

The NUL(s) at the begininng are what worry me. I'm not competent in Android development by a LONG SHOT, but usually NUL means something either wasn't allowed, or not there at all. Adb pushed all of my files through, I even had the VoLTE/Hurricane issue pointed out in the OP, but when I tried to update the SU binaries, it gave me a failure message. Checked with Root Checker app and both it AND Kernel Auditor (I'm not spelling it wrong on purpose, the dev's just gon have to fight me) tell me I have no root.

At this point I'm starting to learn to deal with not having access, but it would be nice to be able to use apps like Lucky Patcher and Titanium Backup again. 100+ pages is alot to read and I make music on my laptop alot so I don't have as much time to dedicate to this as I would like. Seeing as how the bounty was originally posted for an AT&T device (especially since no one bothered to upload mirrors from this post on dev-host. (which is crazy. There were posts dating back from the year before that SPECIFICALLY TOLD PEOPLE THAT THE SITE WAS QUESTIONABLE AF. Obviously, I'm butt hurt. I wasted 2 hours in there!) I expected either [MENTION=2326775]Araltd[/MENTION] or [MENTION=5149713]Quickvic30[/MENTION] 's methods to work. Not the case with me. If there's a list of compatible basebands, you guys can go ahead and NOT add mine to it. I've been a huge fan/leech of the developers on this site, and I want to see you all be successful. But my spirit is about broken. I'm trying my damndest not to bite the bullet and go get an unlocked device, but if I end up getting this job picking up dead bodies for the state, I had full intentions on getting a Google Pixel anyway. So.....

If anyone can help, that would be dope. If not, I realize that my baseband may not be compatible enough for this method. I'm honestly content with not bricking my phone by forcing it....Here's my baseband again just in case....G930AUCS4BQC2

You can downgrade to any stock rom using bootloader 4. When I borked my device, I dropped back to MM and took the OTA back to nougat. It will involve blowing everything away, but if you really want root, you can get it.

That said, I am really only missing Titanium Backup. I have found good alternatives​ for most everything else.
