I encountered almost the same.

I successfully rooted my G930V and i decided to return back to stock. But after flashing the stock firmware, boot screen still says custom, but in phone status says official. Is there any difference?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] FebryRamahdana:
I had flashed U firmware on my sm-g935T

And can't be done

It always restart, eror at recovery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] batsy:
I also cant go back to MM. I think the bootloader version or something.

BTW, the Custom Padlock on boot was gone. What i did?

Flashed official firmware (Nougat) still have that custom on boot

After first boot, i did the initial set up. Then power off.

Did a cache wipe and factory reset.

Then it's gone.

I'll try flashing G930U Firmware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] FebryRamahdana:
Haa..mine gone too..after i flash the U firmware.

What series is your device??

Mine is SM-G935T

tell me if your device same with me and you can flash the U firmware
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] batsy:
SM-G930V

No success on flashing G930U MM. I'll settle for Nougat for now.

Thanks anyway.

Hi Thanks for the great instruction.

Yes, it root my phone, but unfortunatelyI get my Fingerprint sensor stop/fail to run after the S7edge_Qualcomm.tar is flashed.

What shall I do to get it work please?

Here is my phone spec:

- It's s7 edge SM-G9350 Snapdragon version (Hong Kong) 128Gb.

- Current rom is G9350ZHU2BQD2, Nouga 7.0

[I want to keep my current Rom and just want to root it]

Thanks,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Araltd:
Well you have the international snapdragon variant. This thread and instructions are for usa snapdragon variants. At this point the only advice I can give you is:

First find your firmware specific to your model, and download it. If it were me at this point, I'd backup everything and do a complete reflashed of the entire firmware but you may able to only flash parts to re-enable your hardware properly.

Second, find the oppropriate thread/forum section specific to your model. And ask for help and support there... I personally do not know how the usa snapdragon models are different from the international versions. But you have proven that they are different. Otherwise your fingerprint sensor would still work, like it does for the many rooted usa snapdragon variants.

Good luck!

Thanks [MENTION=2326775]Araltd[/MENTION] for your suggestion.

After desperately finding a solution for mine, I finally opt for the one provided by mlkemac (https://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/help/s7edge-g9350-qualcomm-english-hk-rom-t3429535). It works perfectly and rooted.

However, it is in Marshmallow, and Nouga is missing me already. So if someone got his version to work, any suggestion is welcome.

I'm ready to clean everything and begin again if needed. I'm ready to flash any working rooted Nouga rom if it is required.

Thanks

Question

If I rooted my edge this way and I want to factory reset cause my playstore won't work do I have to flash anything after I reset? Just wondering because I'm far from my pc
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Araltd:
(replying without quoting)

I believe it was said a few posts back that the U firmware can be rooted, look back a page or two.

If you want to reset, do the reset before rooting obviously. However, you will need a PC to obtain root - please read the OP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] RainGater:
For me, it's a no-go on the latest U firmware (G935UUEU4BQD2). My device is 935T.

I was on G935UUEU4BQD2 and flashed the Eng boot (S7edge_Qualcomm.tar). After the reboot, it was in Samsung logo for over 20 minutes... Had to reboot to download mode and flash the U firmware with T-Mobile CP (better radio - QC1) to get back to the system. Bummer!

And, yes, I disabled "com.samsung.sprint.chameleon" before flashing the Eng kernel.

Anways, U firmware is pretty awesome and very fluid and no lags whatsoever. Since I am a flash-a-holic, I thought of giving this root method a try but didn't work for me. Ah well, with the help of Package Disabler Pro, I pretty much disabled everything. Except Adaway, I don't really miss root now and that's a positive thing ;)

As far as when I ran the Root.bat, I lost nothing, did not have to start from scatch, and did not have to run from start. Went very smoothly and working great. Just make sure you follow the instructions in the post in #688 about letting it sit before trying the supersu app and all the things mentioned in the post. You shouldn't have any problems and a better running phone after it settles.

Hope this helps...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
Just as freeop stated you can dirty flash the root.bat and you won't lose anything. We all know a clean install is best but we all don't have time to set our phones up daily lol

Exynos til the day I die BRAH lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Araltd:
Funny you mention the Exynos version. I just ordered a G935F with Exynos. I really like the S7E, so I decided to take the plunge.

On a side note, I helped a couple of people get root on a hauwei and HTC, both of which allow unlocking the bootloader thru their respective web sites, and its free. If Samsung offered that ability I would have paid for it! The twrp guys already have a snap dragon variant of twrp if/when the bootloader(s) were to ever get unlocked (unlikely at this point) but I think for full root for Samsung devices, buying from the usa carriers will most likely not be the option. Buying the international version will have to be the way to go :( oh well

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] dharvey4651:
This worked great to get rid of the hurricane icon and the volte icon on my stock rom T-Mobile Galaxy S7 Flat but it broke bluetooth completely. I thought it was the rooting process when I did it last night but then tested bluetooth after every step of the process when I redid it today. It was flashing this that broke it.

Does anyone have an update.zip that already has the modified imsservice.apk from the T-Mobile S7 Flat(nougat) that I can just flash directly to the phone and save all of this trouble?

I only ask because the zip that is supposed to only change images broke bluetooth on my particular device and the other file found in this thread doesn't break bluetooth but it does cause imsservice.apk to force close constantly.

And yes I am aware that this may be a tall order asking for this considering this is not the S7 flat forum but I have literally searched XDA for the last hour and have come up dry...

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

That sucks. All the tweaks that are necessary for that root method. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jshamlet:
It only disables the userland Knox apps, which given the flag doesn't get tripped with this root, it shouldn't matter either way. It is safe to allow SuperSU to disable them, though.

G930U Nougat firmware v7.0.0

Well, as you may know the US models use the QC chipset, while the international use Samsung's own Exynos chipset, but with a slightly different fingerprint driver interface.

All the "U" versions are exactly the same binary, just labeled separately with each carrier's name.

It will auto configure the phone with the insertion of each different carrier's sim card, which in my case has also somehow fixed the dreaded slow/buggy issue without any additional tweaks. Maybe just a fluke, who knows... hehe

Here a link for the G930U Nougat firmware v7.0.0

I did, no joy. Been looking everywhere. Wondering if I can install the previous version since it wasn't a major upgrade...

Update- I was able to do a full flash of the previous update and restore the phone. It almost immediately downloaded and installed the latest update. No security triggers that I've seen so far.

This is probably rhetorical for some, but figured I"d put it out there for anyone who might experience a similar problem until the latest firmware is released into the wild.

So... If I follow this process and have to grant root access to an app, that means that I succeeded in rooting my S7 Edge? Which against my desire to update the FW that AT&T kept prompting me to do, I turned off WI-FI, Location services, Bluetooth, etc., thinking that as was in the past WiFi was necessary for software updates... Not today it wasn't, or even if it was turned on Wi-Fi without my permission, yes you read that right I turned off Wi-Fi Bluetooth and it Still proceeded to download and update my phone. Nice, huh? Well, joke's on you AT&T! Cuz in spite of your bs I rooted without a single hitch, and sit here tonight and laugh in your faces BIATCHES!!

So now what! I am sooooooo excited!

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

SM-G935A.

I was almost ready to call a Samsung or AT&T rep and **** down their necks. I was literally seconds away from rooting at -C2 and successfully kept it from doing so and I glance away for like a minute and I wake up my screen to the message. But, for anyone who may have questions about the ability to do this? The answer is a solid HELL YEAH!

OTA update

I didn't really do much, I tweaked my cpu gov to ondemand for all cores; disabled some apps, uninstalled a couple of them, e.g., yahoo edge feed, and some other stupid crap.

i didn't mess with that until way later and my heat/batt/speed was fine.

i'm at full brightness on entertainment mode, amoled cinema display.
