I used the "latest root zip with SuperSU 2.82 (5/29/2017)" I figured it was the newest so probably improved on the others. I haven't guess it long enough to be sure if is problematic. And it might be a while till I can unroot and reroot, so I'm hoping it will be fine.

cmd stuck?

I've done everything correctly preparing to load the batch file but it gets stuck removing fingerprints and lockscreen. Ive tried removing those on my own but nothing happens it just gives me the same error.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] KLit75:
Could I just get a little clarity please. Im new to Odin and with all the different variants Im kinda lost.

Exactly how many files do I need to flash?

When you say 'make sure you have the eng kernel installed' do you mean the boot img?

***Im quoting Quickvic30 but really would appreciate help from anyone who's willing. Thanks

Update-Okay so Im 90% certain this will work but if someone would just verify mysteps/add or modify...

1. Flash eng boot in special version of Odin. (The one from post #688.)

2. Leave it alone about an hour???

3. Run root bat through adb (2.82 is the one to use?)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Eng kernel is the boot.img... and yes, flash the boot.img in prince comsy Odin, leave it alone for awhile, probably don't need a while hour. And then run the root.bat, I used the 2.82 and I'm running fine, after running the root.bat, id let it sit for another 10 minutes...

Ok so I was just about to root but when I extracted the zip that I thought was the latest it actually contained SU 2.79

Are most people here using 2.82 now?

Is there any reason to not use 2.82 but instead use the "No lag" zip with 2.79?

99% certain I want 2.82 but just looking for confirmation.

Better make sure that your device is paid off, because those "online unlocking" services currently have the Tmo unlocking app service down.

So, at this time the only chance to unlock it is through the carrier.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] KLit75:
so I flashed the engineering boot image but didn't wipe anything. Just let it sit. It started rebooting every few minutes.

I booted recovery and factory reset. And it's random rebooting again. Can anyone provide some assistance. Where should go from here?

Do I need to reflash the boot.img in Odin? Wipe again?

Thanks

---------- Post added at 12:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 AM ----------

Mine did that too on ufirm... try and flash csc on Odin and see if that fixes it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] KLit75:
This has been an ordeal. I wound up flashing back to stock BUT apparently I flashed a different version. I noticed there were a lot more items in system settings than earlier. Under network operators it's giving me every possible carrier (sprint, verizon, at&T). Not to mention when I set it up my keyboard wouldnt work--it'd type one letter then type over that letter. It was tricky.

I have an unlocked phone SM-G935U and my carrier is AT&T. Can you PLEASE tell me which version to flash? (not sure what TSK, XXA, TMK etc mean.) But I'm also not sure if I want to flash the AT&T version eventhough it is my carrier. Feel like such a newb again with Samsung.

Also I assume I at least did this correctly...I flashed ONLY AP in Odin.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
That's why, flash csc as well and it should go back ;) if you don't want to wipe data flash home csc if it's there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] KLit75:
I caught up right before your reply. Back to normal. Everything was messed up including storage (16 GB for internal.) But It's still setting up so there's potential for more headaches:mad:

And yes I flashed all 4 files in Odin--wiped data.

If you have managed to get it rooted and running well for a somewhat prolonged period of time, I'd love to know your exact process. No rush though. I'm working tomorrow and need a working phone BUT I've got a 4 day weekend starting Thursday. Thanks

The biggest reason to root for me is Viper. I already have a YT mod that works without root--Background playback ad free. But the sound on this phone leaves something to be desired. Thanks Again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jshamlet:
Ok, a couple of questions. I'm trying to decide between the LG V20 (which I may have already missed the Dirty Santa window) and, now, the S7 since there is a root method available.

1) I am just going to assume this trips Knox, but is it otherwise reversible if you don't like the changes? I would think you could reflash a stock kernel, but that is one reason I haven't gone with the V20 - it's a one-way trip at the moment.

2) How bad is the lag compared to a device from 2014 (what I would be upgrading from). I'm already tolerating a bit of lag on my 2014 HTC One M8 running Marshmallow, so I have fairly low standards.

3) Does this, in any way, open a future for custom ROMs/kernels? The one upside to the V20 hack is that it unlocks the bootloader, which this doesn't seem to do.

Well, I'm screwed. Installed a theme manager and on reboot am stuck on the logo. Factory reset not working.

So now I guess I have to flash stock N and reload stuff. I hope that works...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
No it does not trip knox

The lag isn't even really noticable if you do a clean install of everything.

Possibly on the dev stuff. No on custom kernels or recovery though as out bootloader is locked. We can use flashify to flash stuff.

I've not seen it at all so I'm going to ask. If someone were to do a aosp build for our devices. Could we flash through FlashFire? Or is the inability to use an alternative boot.img sealing our fate?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
Pretty sure an alt. Boot.img isn't going to work with a locked bootloader. Someone could probably make a AOSP look alike based ROM but I think that's as far as we could get until the BL is unlocked......I doubt that will ever happen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Xcod3rX:
Obviouly As I stated im at work and will post once I get off. And I'm on nougat, if that's not good enough then simply figure it out yourself but for those that want it I will post soon or you can simply google and find the same Posts I found with correct arm build

---------- Post added at 09:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 PM ----------

No I'm on nougat you just don't know how to find what your looking for but if your impatient google Xposed for nougat and watch how simple you find it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] :
Samsung TouchWiz devices require a specific version of Xposed and most videos and sites claiming they have a nougat Xposed are lying. Until you provide physical proof of your Galaxy s7 running nougat while having Xposed working you're just making a baseless claim.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jshamlet:
That's disappointing, because I know from experience Samsung hardware often outlasts Samsung's interest in updating it. I have a Galaxy S2 that officially ended life on Jelly Bean, but is now running a CandySix MM build. Yes, it's laggy, but it could still be a credible daily driver.

That said, I generally run rooted stock on my devices anyway, so that's not a massive blow. I still run rooted stock on my Galaxy Tab S2, and I've been perfectly content with it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Bugsquirt:
Just adding info about this fix, it breaks my tmble 7s edge being able to send text messages. It can receive, though. I tested texts after at each point of the root process and when I applied this fix and only this fix, texts were not able to be sent after the reboot. Is there a particular way that this fix is to be flashed? I ended up using flashfire and did the automount option and the system mount option. I was testing this on a full odin flashed 7.0 and root with nothing extra installed besides kernel auditor.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Saaber:
I just rooted my new S7, and I have to say that this is the simplest root I've seen in quite a while. My last three phones were Sonys, which weren't quite as simple to root. I wasted no time swapping out Samsung's horrible emojis, getting rid of the T-Mobile boot and shutdown animations, installing an ad blocker, the Pixel launcher, and of course freezing tons of bloat.

I know that a lot of people say that having a locked bootloader really puts the kibosh on ROM development, but back when I had a Moto X, there were quite a few ROMs available despite that phone's locked bootloader. Something similar must be possible on this phone. I'd love something that at least looks more like AOSP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] slimshouki:
This is fake

Cannot be true

Simply, xposed developer anounced officially that he is working on nougat update without any beta releases yet.

Pretty sure I killed my phone although I'm not sure how.. I had everything working alright but it was laggy so I tried to do the build.prop tweaks and I restarted after editing the file and I only got a black screen. I can boot to recovery and download mode and if I boot in safe mode I can get back to the dead black screen but otherwise its a recovery loop.

Thats fine, I know how to fix it from there but apparently I also somehow removed the ability for my phone to be recognized by any computer so I cant do any flashing or odin or adb at all. I've tried 4 cords and a mac, a virtual box windows and a real windows and none of them will properly initiate the device.

When it is in dead/black screen mode the device is visible on the computer as Samsung_android under the mac device manager and its called msm8996 when its in download/odin mode. It is completely invisible when in recovery mode. Both black screen mode and download/odin give code 10 device can not start. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling all drivers and of every version i could find.

Anyway I did vics root and it was a bit laggy so I tried the build.prop changes and restarted my phone and it hasnt changed in condition from the above description since. If its definitely bricked I'd still like to know how I did it lol, thanks for any info.

tl;dr edited build.prop, restarted, black screen of death, can get into recovery/download but no computer recognizes phone in any version of odin/adb/windows/mac/4 different cables that worked fine before

no deep sleep

I've been rooted since nougat debuted, with numerous root/unroots. Once I started using quickvics root.bat I've never had any issues that I"ve noticed. Until I flashed the the latest update via odin, reflshed the eng. kernel and re-rooted. now the phone will not ever go to sleep. it's in constant awake, and will not go into doze.

GSM is showing that SDM_Partial_wakelock is keeping it awake all the time, but I can't find that in TiBu to freeze it. I froze DiagMonAgent along with the other updates and that seemed to help. Is there any thing else that I'm missing that keeping the phone out of deep sleep?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] KLit75:
Ive tried multiple times to root using the latest U firmware, with a few differences each time (complete reset, flash fw in Odin, wipe cache immediately after flashing U fw, etc)

Regardless, every time it goes into reboot loop. This makes it impossible to run root.bat. In fact, I havent made it through the setup to even enable usb debugging & oem unlock--and if I did it might not be smart to try and modify the system while the phone keeps rebooting itself.

So Im gathering information:

From what I see, users have suceeded in rooting the latest fw

-To those users, were you previously running 6.0.1?

-Which model? (mine is SM-G935U)

-Did anyone who purchased the phone new with it running Nougat succeed in rooting the latest fw?

Any info is appreciated. Thanks

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] KLit75:
I didn't do that exactly, but using the same exact fw, I factory reset. Then wiped cache again then flashed boot img. It still loops.

I can try again but it winds up being like a 3 hour process without Titanium backup. Thats why Im really hoping someone else can confirm this works who's rooting the same phone that wasnt upgraded from M.

If that is in fact the case though, the OP should be updated. Ive become a frequent reader of this thread and at no point do I recall reading what you just shared. Itll potentially save people a lot of time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Does it always reboot when it gets to the part about "checking device" or something like that. That's where it always did it to me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] KLit75:
Not sure which part youre referring to but its a consistent loop right from the first boot. You can pretty much time it. About every 45-60 seconds. Doesnt get better or worse whether you leave it alone or try to get through the setup portion.

***pretty sure the eng boot img automatically enables usb debug & Oem unlock. But trying to time it so I might sneak in the root between reboots is a little too adventurous for me. Im worried something will break if the process is interrupted at the wrong time.

Why is Nougat light themed?

After getting on Android 7.0 (nougat) and rooted, I noticed that the system pulldown menu and system settings is in a white theme. Curious because my pixel has a dark theme for the pulldown.

Also, as a side-note: SystemUI is not activat-able on my S7. (and yes, I can activate it on my Pixel and have so I know how to ;) )
