My phone has been sitting in a bag all day due to me being in a secure area with no phone access. It is in an area with good cell reception.

I came out to it after about 7 hours running and the battery was at 50%. In this state, on stock I was getting maybe 2-3% pts./hr usage.

I haven't had the time to examine it to see if there are a ton of wakelocks or what the screen was doing, but it doesn't look good.

So probably back to stock tonight. no soup for you. It isn't all that bad - the process back-and-forth is real easy and quick. I got in a fresh round of backups and froze a couple things, not a total loss.

Does this work on BQA4 firmware?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] mcholly7:
Hi everyone, I may be in a similar position to someone here, but if not, I hope we can still figure this out.

Back when root was first achieved on this phone I used this forum to root my AT&T varient. I know the post is for another carrier, but it worked, and I was, and still am a greenhorn with all of this.

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3411039

My question is if I can use this method, how should I go about doing so, so that I don't lose any data/settings, and that I keep my hotspot available. I have unlimited data, and the free hotspot is the only reason I rooted to begin with. I have had a ton of lag, and heat issues since rooting, although I tweaked a little bit with Kernal Auditor a few days ago, and have had less problems. The idea of 56 hour battery life sounds amazing! Which is my only real desire to attenpt this. I just want to know my pros and cons before attempting any of it, and whether or not it is possible.

Here are a couple of screenshots from my settings. If you think you can answer this question, but need more information, just ask. (Yes I am using Xposed to achieve my hotspot functionality)

Thank you in advance for any help or direction you can give. I am surely not the only person in this boat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
You will first need to update to nougat firmware, that is located in the OP. Make sure you USE the HOME.CSC and you will retain all your data. This would be considered a dirty flash though and this root method does recommend clean install for best experience but it's not a must. I dirty flash the bootloader and rootbat all the time without issues. Follow post #688 of this thread and you will be good to go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] mcholly7:
So just flash the update under AT&T on op, and then rootbat from post 688m I already have supersu 2.79 on my phone. Will it be an issue when I try to do the steps in 688? Also, what do I need to do to bypass the hotspot verification process without xposed? Currently I use XTether, and it bypasses it on its own, but without xposed that wont function any longer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
I have a att device also and I use tmo firmware because of the hot spot issue with att, I have unlimited data and they wont let you tether with that plan so I flash tmo firmware and tethering works great, no hoops to jump through like with exposed or anything, just turn it on and your all set.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
TMO = T-mobile?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freak69ize:
Yup

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

Should work on all s7/s7edge N fw
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] mcholly7:
So, if I am understanding correctly, you just download the TMO firmware instead of the AT&T one in the OP? Other than that all the steps are the same and you end up with hotspot capabilities? What else does using that firmware change?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
Yep steps are the same. It installs TMO bloat instead of ATT bloat, that's about it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] mcholly7:
Ok, I will definitely consider that approach. Do you know any of these hoops you mentioned? I notice a lot of people mention freezing tethering.provisions(even in this post), and I have always used the Xposed route, but if that would do it I wouldn't mind that particular hoop since I already bought Titanium Premium. I am just trying to find a work around for us AT&T folk without having to switch firmwares, in case there are some people that prefer the AT&T variant over TMO.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] chuzie:
So I tried to apply the hurricane fix described below and now I get the "system software not authorized by att......" on reboot. Is there recovery from this or do I have to reflash to stock?

You just asked a question I was wondering about myself. You might want to try to flash the V15 fix that is in the popular thread. It fixed the VOLTE thing on MM, and I don't know any reason it wouldn't work with Nougat. It is worth a shot while you are at this point.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] chuzie:
I reflashed engboot file to get back on. Just gotta figure out what I screwed up with FLASHFIRE.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
The only thing I noticed when I installed the TMO FW was that my phone showed up as a SM-G935T instead of the SMG935A in the "About the Phone". Other than that I got rid of the TMO Bloatware just like I did the ATT Bloatware and that was about it.

I do want to say one thing about when I used the TMO FW that I have not had the problem since using the ATT FW. And I do not know if this has happened to others, (I do know of one person that had the same problem as I) and that was a lot of Heat and ended up Burning my screen and I had to return the phone to ATT for a Warranty Replacement. BUT again that was BEFORE using the [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] / [MENTION=5149713]Quickvic30[/MENTION] root.bat. Since updating to the March Security update for ATT and using the eng.img along with the current root.bat in post #688, I have not had any problems at all.

But, one more "But", I do not use any of the tethering from ATT or TMO. I am keeping a close eye on the Xposed threads looking for Xposed myself. There are not a lot of items that I use with Xposed at the present time and I am anxiously waiting to Xposed for Nougat.

Hope this helps...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] mcholly7:
Here you go, let us know if it helps, because it has worked for most everyone when we got root on MM, and it should still apply here on Nougat.

You need the steps involving V15 fixes.

Thank you for your feedback. This helps a lot! I feel you on the Xposed front, I can't wait for them to move up to Nougat. I think I will wait until that happens before I update, simply because I finally reached a point in my current setup that is functioning great, and I am getting great battery life. The sleekness of the update is very tempting, but I feel like I can wait a few more days/weeks for Xposed to catch up before making the switch. I use a lot of Xposed Modules as well and would like to keep doing so.

Thank you again for all of your feedback.

I know a lot of the settings in Flashfire can screw you over if they aren't exactly right. Check up on that link, and it should give you all of the specifics that you need to run it properly. Good luck! There is nothing quite as frustrating as getting everything running great, and then having to start over because of a minor error.

FWIW- In light of the snafu with the FLASHFIRE, the hurricane icon is gone so I'm 100% up and running. Not sure if I'm willing to tinker to fix what isn't broken.

That is terrific! You used all of the steps in OP along with the step from #688 right? If that is the case, would you mind checking one thing real quick for me? Could you check your HotSpot functionality. I am hoping that the new methods allow for the ability to use the hotspot feature without the service. What files did you flash with FlashFire?

To answer your first older question, Xposed is not yet available for nougat so you wouldn't even be able to use it for the wifi hotspot. Answer to your second question wifi tethering will work even if it's not enabled it will work. It's blocked on my ATT plan and it works right out of the box with TMO firmware, no mods or anything needed.

Sounds very tempting. The only qualms I have is on the contractual end. Will this keep using AT&T cell towers? How will it show up on my AT&T profile? currently it shows up as a G935A. I'm sorry if I sound paranoid. I am just exploring all of the angles before attempting this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
Yes it will use ATT towers still and I actually have way better reception with the TMO modem/baseband. ATT will never know and if they did they wouldn't do anything about it. My phone shows up as an S7 edge on my ATT still, doesn't specify what kind of edge.[/QUOTE]

ok, I suppose one last question I have is that since I have the ENG boot, and SuperSu already on my phone running MM, do I just need to do the OTA with the HOME_CSC file? If I need to do other steps do you mind letting me know which ones I need to do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
Yes use the home csc and I would delete the superSU app cause it's going to get over written by the new root.bat anyways. Go into SU app settings and click uninstall and then select the normal option. So it'll go like this, Flash TMO nougat, then flash the nougat eng.boot, then root.bat
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jshamlet:
As a caveat, AT&T, unlike T-Mobile, actually checks to see if you are running an AT&T supplied device before enabling certain network features such as VoLTE, WiFi calling, etc. If those aren't an issue, then no problem - all of the standard GSM/LTE goodies will work as usual. Just keep in mind that you will lose certain advanced features on a non-AT&T ROM as an AT&T customer. This is why people with Pixels and One M10s don't have VoLTE on AT&T, but do on T-Mobile, even though the phones fully support the standard.

On the flip side, tethering checks are done on the handset, which is why T-Mobile firmware will "just work" without getting AT&T's permission first. As a word of warning, AT&T can tell if you are tethering regardless, and if your plan doesn't allow it, you may get the nastygram followed by a new contract addendum charging you for it. If you had unlimited tethering, well... (Google added a "feature" in Ice Cream Sandwich and I got outed as a tether user after the update)

Otherwise, they really only care that you are paying your bill. I converted my One M8 to US developer edition firmware about 3 days after I bought it and never heard a peep from AT&T about it.

Ok, you currently have a Samsung S7 Edge from T-Mobile, just like you said, and it has the March Security update to Nougat. You should be able to just run the procedure in this thread without any problems. Don't use the Root.bat that is in the Original Post. Just make sure you read post #688 on page 69 and use that root.bat. It will help you a lot with lag and battery life.

BUT, and I mean a big but, if you are looking for adaway with the Xposed Framework, you are going to be out of luck. There is no Xposed at all for Nougat at the present time. And we are all waiting for it also.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
What's the benefits of using adaway with Xposed? I always just install the adaway apk and it works great.

My brotha from another mother... thanks so much for this info, this is exactly what I needed, thanks again. and No i'm not looking for the Xposed framework, it's an awesome piece of Development, but it drags the system a quite a bit so I stay away from it, I used to use it back on my Galaxy s3 and 4 tho. I use the Apk instead. again thanks for the info.. u sir have my gratitude.

So sorry for the misinformation. I was under the impression that you had to have Xposed to install Adawy. Maybe I was thinking of the YouTube Ad remover that is used with Xposed.

So where do you download the apk for Adaway? I have looked on GooglePlay to saw all the funky ad blockers but no Adaway. Did a search on XDA and there was so many results I didn't know where to look. Also do you side load it or use FireFlash?

Thanks, [MENTION=5149713]Quickvic30[/MENTION] for better information...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
I think it was youtube add remover you are thinking of.

You can download it right on our home here, just type it in the search box above! If you can't find it I can always post it up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Araltd:
For those who are worried about root, which I understand completely. I see many users only want root for freezing apps, or adaway ad blockers... there ARE non-root alternatives, which would eliminate the fear of rooting for you guys and gals. Not flaming or burning, I'm just saying... I've said it from the beginning, if you are not comfortable with the procedure, and you don't have a grasp what to do AFTER root, then it's just a buzz word. :)

Package disabler pro (available on the play store $1.49) let's you freeze/disable bloatware and apps and does not require root.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpro&hl=en

As for ad blockers, there are MANY MANY out there, one of which is BLOCK THIS for Android (google search it) which creates a private VPN on your device and routes all data traffic thru its VPN (on the phone) and blocks ads and does not require root... Having root is MUCH more than just TiBU and Adaway IMHO.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
The main programs I use on my rooted phone are utilities. I use Tasker mainly for automation.

The thing I miss most is flashing roms... I'm not a dev - but the work I've seen leading up to my S7E was amazing on my previous devices.. I just flashed a S8 clone on my Note 4 the other day and its amazing. Locking the bootloader is such BS. In the overall picture - I doubt it affects many, I would think the vast majority of customers that buy phones from carriers never root their devices, never even consider it.

I helped someone with a Hauwei phone the other day, and they (hauwei) lets the user unlock their bootloader ONLINE. You enter a bunch of information from the phone and it gives you a code to enter using ADB. BOOM - unlocked bootloader allows root, twrp, etc... ** I WISH SAMSUNG DID THIS ** Even if they did AFTER the phone was paid for, or completely voided the warranty - it would at least give us the CHOICE. :(

TiBu is an amazing app - a must for a rooted device.

Adaway is arguably the best ad blocker I've ever used.

LTE Discovery is a great app for knowing exactly what band your on, what cell tower your connected to. Great root app.

Build.prop editor(s) in general give you a lot more control over what your phone looks like and does (changing the csc files and build prop)

I can't think of any others off the top of my head.
