For the G930x QC the only eng-boot that I'm aware of, is the old one dated 2017-03-01 which is quite unstable.

If anyone has a newer G930x QC eng-boot than 2017-03-01, please post it.

For the G935x QC there's a newer one than 2017-03-01, dated 2017-08-29 which is quite stable.

And here's the latest Root.BAT courtesy of the always awesome JKruse.

It includes both SuperSU and Magisk, but I haven't tried MGK yet, only SSU.

Magisk works for us tho? I thought that only worked for people with unlocked bootloaders

Can I ask what your LSpeed settings are, I'm trying to find a solution for good performance and Battery life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Heck yeah, August :) gonna flash soon. And didn't know there was Magisk lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] billa:
I've clearly stated in my post "It includes both SuperSU and Magisk, but I haven't tried MGK yet, only SSU."

So take caution.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
According to jrkruse, he ditched the Magisk root. It doesn't work. Also, in the root.bat there's no SuperSU apk nor su.img. As for the August eng: I flashed it and it didn't boot. Vibrated a few times, sorta like when I try to flash Verizon firmware.

Not saying the August eng won't work for anyone, but if it doesn't flashing the original eng will fix it and your phone will boot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] billa:
I've flashed the G935x QC Aug. eng-boot dozens of times and it worked fine.

Make sure you start with a freshly flashed phone (with firmware later than Aug), do not flash it over a modified one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Ah, that's it... Wasn't later than August lol (July)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jshamlet:
Does the later eng-boot perform any better than the older one?

i have a question i wonder if someone might know the answer to? some time ago i flashed to the g935u firmware to get rid of all the bloatware and tonight i flashed back to stock for a few minutes and was getting ready to root again when i noticed this. knox keyguard in system apps. i never paid it much mind always said installed but i just happened to open to look and even though it says not installed it has used 30mb data. curious i looked at one of my virgin s7 edges and sure enough it was the same although less data used. anyone know anything about this? just curious. thx

When is S7 getting Oreo tired of updating monthly patch?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] billa:
Thanks JK, will play around with it.... :)

That looks like it's just a stock kernel, nothing special, we're looking for eng-boots with an "-eng" suffix in its name.

Don't be too eager to update to anything later than Dec 2017, unless you wanna go to jail!! lol ... and here's why...

Some of you may have heard about a new security coming soon (actually it's here with the 2018 updates) called RMM.

It's basically a souped up version of FRP, but with a twist. Where before you could flash a combi/eng-boot, no longer, due to the strict signature checking implemented by RMM.

Looks like it will be restricting Odin flashing with only the signed firmware for that particular model, and it will also kill the Prince Comsey patched Odin method. For example, won't be able to flash G950U with G950U1 firmware soon, and probably even eng-boots. What's even worse is that if you even TRY to flash with the wrong version it will brick the phone permanently (for at least 7-days) unless flashed back to signed stock.

https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-s8-note8-bootloader-odin/

Problem is, you can't do anything if FRP is on, won't even let you flash eng-boot, only signed stock.

A possible solution to disable the RMM lock, but only IF it's NOT already turned ON the phone (for protection against future updates).

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75360965&postcount=22

Supposedly the RMM lock expires after 7 days of the phone being turned ON and never turned off, basically a 7 day phone jail. Boooo!!

Fun times ahead guys, especially for those who are careless and just flash away without disabling RMM first.

So, get ready to go to a 7-day JAIL!! lol

Mark my words ;)

By the way this new RMM security applies to ALL newer Samsungs starting with the S7 and up (and possibly even S6 updates)!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Well shiz nit... I just updated to January haha. How do you disable RMM?

Anyone root on January patch yet?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] billa:
It's in my post, please read it again carefully.

Hint: "A possible solution to disable the RMM lock..."

By the way if you updated to the January rev-4 "U1" then you can still roll it back to December (make sure to have OEM-Unlock turned ON before the rollback!)

However if you're on a carrier branded one like rev-5 "P", well you're out of luck.

And for EVERYONE ELSE, do not blindly update, just because there's an update out... it could put ya in jail!! ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Boomhauer79cj:
get updated ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
I'm on G935UU...4BRA1

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
I'm finding it hard to believe that it won't flash eng lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Boomhauer79cj:
you realize that not a single bit of that is legal and most likely also, not true. sure may be a rumor and they may let it ride and hope everyone believes it but flat out ask them!!!! if you buy a device from a carrier it is yours to do with as you want regardless as to what they may let or lead you to believe. i deal with this very thing every day and not once have they even tried to let me think they had hinted at anything like this. now that being said i know better and they know i know and maybe they are guarded because of that but still not legal if you didnt knowi mkean how do they or anyone think they could get away with holding your device hostasge or prisoner? they cant now can they? how many have sent back a device that was or had been rooted? hell ive told them and then dared them to not cover whatever was wrong as long as it was not root related. knox in tact they dont even look hard enough to tell. at least not with mine i have had them accuse of of altering the phone but the times they did do that they qwere actually wrong . these companies are dangerously close to breaching many privacy issues if they are not already and they know it. call them out on it and see how the tide turns. google microsoft netgear all same and all for the money they are making off of doing this in order to get as much info as possible. why? because knowledge is power and give it a hundered or so yearsand see if whoever has the most info (knowledge) of everyone else, see if they are not the ones sitting on the throne calling the shots
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] billa:
If I were on the latest update, you I'd enable OEM-Unlock FIRST, then immediately do this

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75360965&postcount=22

and only after that attempt any eng-boot flashing.

OR

Roll it back to December while you can (provided you not on rev-5 already)

I'm staying on the December firmware, not taking any chances.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
First of all, in Download mode I don't have this RMM lock, I also pulled my boot.img and checked those values. I don't have half of the things there
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] billa:
Sure get back to me in a couple of months when your OEM-Unlock option has disappeared in developer options.

Please read the XDA article... by the way, I'm not known to spread false rumors.. FYI

Based on what you wrote, it clearly shows you haven't been doing phones for a very long time (try 20 years), phone manufacturers/carriers DO NOT announce their own security implementations, and as far as legality it's perfectly legal. They are NOT prohibiting you from flashing officially signed stock firmware, which you still can perfectly fine. However, nowhere does the law require them to allow you to flash leaked/stolen eng-boots and the like. Please do your research first before making a fool out of yourself, not for me, but for your own good.

---------- Post added at 12:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------

It's possible that it's no implemented YET in the current January update but it's definitely coming.

Just look out for something like "Prenormal" in download mode.

Well I guess, to each his own....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Boomhauer79cj:
im not even implying youre spreading false rumors because in fact it may disappear but that is only because everyone lets it happen. once that is yours then why does everyone think they can still control or alter it? can i sell you or anyone a car and 2 months later come paint it the color i want because i dont like the color you picked? even their TOS can be blown to shreds by a cheesy lawyer. find the right individual inside their network and theyll confirm it. but as long as no one says anything and the sheep follow blindly where they are led it will continue to happen. still not even remotely legal. try this next time you call spectryum google or whoever. they very first thing ask for what? your name a personally identifiable piece of info. but next time ask, " hey, i do not legally have to provide that to you . do you have a law that says otherwise?" see how long that silence is.

---------- Post added at 12:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 AM ----------

what you mean no eng? you mean you not rooted yet? im just guessing since you were apparently looking non stock eng. boot from jan and not stock...lol srry did not realize that i dont remember reading that part in the quest for it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] billa:
---------- Post added at 12:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 AM ----------

First of all I'm not arguing with you, I simply won't stoop to that level, ever!! but possibly enlighten you of reality, so take it or leave it....

Here's your answer:

Phone manufacturers/carriers DO NOT announce their own security implementations, and as far as legality it's perfectly legal. They are NOT prohibiting you from flashing officially signed stock firmware, which you can still do perfectly fine with RMM. However, nowhere does the law require them to allow you to flash leaked/stolen eng-boots and the like.

By the way, I have absolutely no monetary gain or otherwise from posting a warning which could quite possibly impact many users down the line.

I just hope you come to term with this, and the fact that manufacturers can do WHATEVER they want to do, unfortunately.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Boomhauer79cj:
i never meant for it to sound as if i was implying it or saying it either. just stating fact as i know since i experienced this very thing 1st hand and decided to se about it. i fought the big corp. for exactly this and won so yeah it can be done sometimes but it still does not make legal and if enough people complain about it, it willl stop

check this out for screwy. irooted mt att 935 a year ago been that way ever since until last night always been att until i flashed noncarrier branded u firmware

last night figured better maybe get a couple updates so i flashed back to stock albeit att u firmware. just before that i was gonna use smart switch to do it so i let it preload an update to go up with updates before rooting again. it kept giving me load of need to delete 800mb worth of appps email texts or whatever b4 it could so i went to odin. but the update was trelling me what i had (att) what it was going to (att). after i flashed att stock smart switch said i was now verizon thre update it had preloaded was verizon too. even though evrywhere said it was att and it had too not 5 min. prior. i thought what the hell see what happens so i let switch proceed to give me the update. when it was done i was att again even tho never really was verizon and never even had verizon firmware dloaded.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] billa:
The unbranded firmware takes its CSC setting from the particular sim card that is/was last inserted.

So if you had a Verizon sim in there during or after flashing with the "U" version, then the phone will ACT like a Verizon one, minus the bloat-ware.

Once you insert a different carrier sim card it will boot down to a blue screen and reconfigure itself to the new carrier.

That's how the "unbranded" firmware works.

i tried the magisk with no luck. 3 or 4 times same thing. had root with su 1stry but went back to try the magisk after to no luck then for whatever rreason couldnt su back so odin'd back to stock then let the switch update it to jan ince wanted to see if tonights different than last night. still the same as far as firmware but switch did say it was doing the verizon thing again but its still att. only thing i can figure on that is the 935uues4bql1 csc must somehow be a verizon offshoot or somethuing

. but the download clearly staes its att????? so now im going to root again as someone gives me theeir suggestion what works best for them . might wanna try something new if looks good since magisk is not working for me.
