No I'm sure there's more we could be looking into but I only know so much. What we really need is a experienced kernel or OS dev to take a look at things. I'll try pming a couple people.

On another note I'm running pretty darn good lag wise, battery is a kinda draining fast but I have been on the phone for almost 4 hrs straight lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Sleehrat00:
So, go back into Odin and flash only CSC, or do I have to flash all the way back to stock, flashing AP and everything else as well?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:

Anyone know what I can do to help save battery life? Just rooted my phone and want the best battery life i can get
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jes1964:
I narrowed down the issue to ENG-ROOT-USA files for some reason it changes my service provider logo from Boost Mobile to Samsung. I have added the APN but still nothing. I also noticed that my phone number stays the same until i change it from LTE to CDMA. Im about to try using a Universal boost mobile APN fix i found online if it works ill post it on here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Alright sweet!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jes1964:
Oh you will love this so i was able to get the LTE to work on Boost Mobile here are the steps after rooting to keep LTE and Keep your cell service

after installing BuildProp Editor these are the steps

Set

ro.cdma.default_alpha to Boost_Mobile

ro.cdma.default_numeric to 311870

ro.build.characteristics to Boost_Mobile

ro.telephoney.default_network to 8

oh and then restart the phone

with this you get to keep your cell service and data but im not sure if this happen before the phone was rooted but if you are in the middle of a call you lose your data but it comes right back on once the call ends. im going to try to keep going and get this working during a call.

UPDATE: If you ever find your self with any issues with your device and you want to try ##72786# dont you will lose your data and your cellphone number you can get it back by switching to lte/CDMA but you wont get data back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Interesting... I'm not educated in this stuff but it seems weird why it loses data in calls...

Success!

My device was rooted successfully with this method and using the modified SuperSU binary.

My fingerprint sensor is not responding at the moment, but I'm also about to wipe and flash that aroma ROM. Will update when done.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] DankHeals:
UPDATE: The aroma rom was a fail. Got soft bricked. Recovered from the soft brick and now although the root /appears/ to work, it doesn't actually provide me with root access.

Pretty sure knox is blocking it. I haven't gotten this to work since recovering from the soft brick.

How long did it take after hitting root.bat? It gets to "* daemon started successfully *" but then nothing happens after.

Hello

How should I install Magisk after rooting with this method?

please I really need an app to work on root mode

obviously for hiding root for certain apps

thank you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
I was wondering about this as well. Do you just flash in flashfire?

Edit: found this on reddit: "Pretty sure Magisk and phh SuperSu modify the kernel or boot image so I'm thinking if you don't have an unlocked bootloader/custom recovery you are going to have a rough time."

So I'm thinking no, we cant?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
Exactly. This procedure is NOT unlocking the bootloader, so things like Magisk and Xposed will not work or install on this. Wished it would but no luck yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
I'm reading something about systemless magisk. Here it is : https://www.google.com/amp/www.droidviews.com/install-magisk-systemless-interface-android/amp/

And you can install xposed on Marshmallow:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] slayer.1942:
i guess the best bet is to go just calling and texting with my at&t s7 unlocked phone and buy an android 5 device and root it with xposed cause "amazon flex" monitor the root access with some weird method that can be detected.

That is this thread actually, you don't need to look any further
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] japh1997:
First post?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] DankHeals:
I would also like to note that although I was failing safteynet like crazy, Android pay and my bank app were fully functional while rooted.

However, my fingerprint sensor functionality broke, and Pokemon GO would not authenticate.

After performing the actions I needed root for (disabling bloatware, battery calibration, and some tweaks that don't need perma-root) I was able to unroot and pass safetynet by running the unroot.bat, uninstalling superSU (after manually deleting it's data files via settings) and flashing the AP file of my stock firmware package. No data loss, root removed, safetynet passed. Pokemon GO works and all the changes I used root for stuck! My fingerprint sensor is working again as well.

EDIT: I should note that the unroot.bat (both variants) DOES NOT properly unroot my phone by itself. Only in conjunction with my other steps did I successfully unroot. It appears to succeed, but superSU remains, safetynet fails, and the superSU app stops working with a "su binary occupied" error. The above method was the only way I could successfully unroot without a full wipe. Hope this helps.

Ah, thanks. I flashed AP and I got a bootloop :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Edit: I wanted to debloat, so I rooted and flashed a debloat script. I got stuck at boot. So I flashed stock and used titanium backup to go through and uninstall them all. I didn't want to stay rooted, so I unrooted and flashed stock boot.img (extracted it from AP and archived it to a tar.) And flashed in Odin. I also flashes csc (it factory resets /data) that way it should completely remove root. But I got stuck at boot still :/

Hi, how can i get systemmode supersu to recover official kenel?

i want the official latest kernel..

but for do this need get systemmode supersu

can any helpme?

i flashed from flashfire supersu with systemless parameter in false, but get bootloop

i think that can be supolicy....

if i install supersu and do modifications and later return to official kernel, it not boot

official kernel read custom system and cant boot.

to get latest kernel ... we need a new compilation of eng kernel :(

i think that heat and lag not be for supersu, the lag and heat is for eng kernel :crying:

anyone know who build eng?

thanks a lot :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
I think you are correct about the Heat and Lag is from the eng.img and not supersu.

From my understanding, the Engineering Build is from Samsung. It is a tool that QA people use to test the phones for different situations and applications. And somehow it was leaked and now we use it to semi-root the different phones/systems that have a Locked Bootloader. If we could unlock the bootloader, we would not have to use the eng.img, but as it stands now that is not going to happen anytime soon.

Hope this helps...

Got it to work. Had to use 2.79 instead of 2.82 though.

Another thing, I'm not sure how to get rid of the VoLTE/Hurricane icons. How do I copy the imsservice.apk and change the permissions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
In OP to get rid of volte. Flash in flashfire :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] UJ95:
OK, just making sure. I download the zip and just use the flash zip option in the FlashFire app? I don't need to edit the permissions or copy anything to a different folder?

Sorry if this was addressed, but it's a long thread.

In other root tutorials, I noticed that it mentions that OEM unlock should be "ON", yet this method doesn't have it as a necessary thing. Is this relevant?

also, are there any mods for this variant of phone? I go to the ROM forum, or MOD forums for the snapdragon specific att device, and there are no more than seemingly 4 threads. What gives?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] UJ95:
Sorry, I'm just trying to make sure I'm doing it right. So I downloaded the "All Variants ZIP." So I open FlashFire, use Flash ZIP > Mount System Read/Write and hit start? I'm confused by the OP where it says to change the read/write perms
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
It doesn't, I just do it. I think it modifies a system app so I mount system. And yes flash
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Monica Jae:
Which dual speaker mod did you use? I haven't found any that allow for use on the snapdragon models (qcom). I'm really interested in this because i find that the volume sucks when using the aux port.

Thanks.

Which "big debloat option" did you use, as well?

Also, and this isn't specifically for you to answer, but can't one just use Titanium Backup Pro to uninstall or delete apps/data/etc. which may be considered bloatware?

Use kernel aduitor and then them on? Anyway if you use the root.bat from quickvic (I think that's his name) and follow his instructions you shouldn't need any apps so increase speed. It runs really good after it boots up

Lost root want to unroot

When I first rooted my s7, It was laggy, especially when I hook it up to my charger, wifi and Bluetooth and with the recent update of su I lost root but its still laggy is the way to unroot properly in the op? Or is there a way to get root again and lose the lag?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jshamlet:
Root isn't the issue, the engineering kernel is. Unfortunately, the engineering kernel is the only way to get R/W access to system and disable Knox checks. Unfortunately, every phone seems to react differently, or people have different levels of tolerance, so it's a bit of a crapshoot as to whether it will work for you.

So I'm gonna have to unroot cause I wasn't aware the Amazon Flex app doesn't run with root. Anybody know if flashing stock firmware and using home_csc reverts any changes I made? Like changing system emoji?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
If you don't factory reset, it won't boot after flashing stock boot.img
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] UJ95:
Hmm, OK. I thought the post in the OP mentioned flashing home_csc to preserve user data when flashing to stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
You can delete the su.img and it might work. Not sure tho
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] UJ95:
I can try it. How would I delete it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Usually I factory reset. You might be able to go into the su app, select permanent unroot, and uninstall su app with all other root apps? I've never done it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Blade22222:
There's a unroot.bat in the root folder that will unroot you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
I heard that it doesn't fully unroot? I could be wrong
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Krog18:
That is correct, you should be able to preserve your data by using home_csc when flashing the stock firmware. I'd recommend backing everything up though just in case.

The other posts about doing a factory reset, deleting the su.img and unroot.bat won't work. Yeah you'll lose root, but in the end, you'll still be using the eng kernel and therefore apps like the one you mentioned will still see the device as rooted/unauthorized modifications.

Sent from my SM-G935V
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] UJ95:
So I did end up unrooting with home_csc, but it doesn't seem like it's using the engineering kernel anymore. Performance is a lot faster than when I had root and I lost all access on apps that required root. The boot animation still says "Custom" though not sure why
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Krog18:
Yeah if you flashed stock fw with home_csc you'll be back on the stock kernel and should be good. If you reboot a 2nd time the "custom" should be gone.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] billa:
Simply flashing any CSC alone will not completely unroot your phone.

Yes, it gives the illusion that it's unrooted, but the eng-boot-root file is still there running.

You have to flash the entire package (AP, BL, CP, CS), and optionally select the HOME CS/CSC to preserve your data, which by the way is not really recommended as long as you have a good backup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Krog18:
Yes, that's why I said "stock fw with home_csc" The stock boot.img is in the ap file...[emoji106]

Using the method in post #688, I have root but Bluetooth and Wi-Fi constantly have to be reset in order to work any fix for this? While the lag is manageable having to reset the network settings a multiple times a day is getting old.

What do you mean by yoy have to Reset them?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] charrog:
In order to get them to turn on have to use the reset network settings feature. Clearing the cache does not always work. I am about to go back to MM and get rid of the Engboot. While I love root, the use of Tibu and the ability to backup. The daily resets are aggravating.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Flash cp? Maybe even csc. Or if you don't care flash Totally different firmware
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] billa:
Flashing CP will not help your issue, try this instead.

To preserve the WiFi key after reboot, disable this app

/system/priv-app/SharedStorageBackup/SharedStorageBackup.apk=com.android.sharedstoragebackup

By

adb shell pm hide com.android.sharedstoragebackup

adb shell su -c pm hide com.android.sharedstoragebackup

OR

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

---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 PM ----------

because with that one, that went great I couldn't stand the lag, so am back on stock, I want to have root but the lag is unbearable, now I would try the root.bat from quickvic30, which eng.boot should I use?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
I used the same one you mentioned from [MENTION=5149713]Quickvic30[/MENTION] and have very good luck with it. As far as the eng.img I used the one from the op, but I really think any of them are basically the same. The one from [MENTION=5149713]Quickvic30[/MENTION] is SuperSU version 2.79 and I have made sure not to update to the 2.82 version.

Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] c-prodigo:
so just disable updates for super.su and its all good? am on the process right now waiting 10 minutes to reboot and see how it goes

so I should never touch supersu app, I normally set it to grant access should I just never get in it?
