Ok I rooted my G-930V On Latest version of 7.0 Aug security update. At first it was VERY LAGGY then I read some post of people giving tips of how to reduce the lag and save battery life while rooted. I ran a slightly outdated Root.bat file that's why It was so laggy. Anyways I found the latest Root.bat and ran it so it can overwrite the other files from the first Root.bat and that fixed it. Im just not sure if I did it right when I ran the latest Root.bat it asked me if I wanted to set the cpu gov to Ondemand, Conservative, Interactive, Or With tweeks I think. I just choose to go with interactive sence that's what the cpu gov on stock. The thing is that I still lag some but not like it used to be, and sense I chose the interactive does that mean that the cpu gov is still corrupt because of root? Battery life is a huge difference without the constant lag but even though im not lagging as bad some of my apps are not responding and completely useless. My SystemUI crashes every now and then but I think I fixed that via Restart SystemUI from Google play store. My Samsung Music app keeps crashing when I try to open it and im not sure if other apps are doing the same. Could the Root.bat messed my Music app up? I should also mention that im using L-Speed app for some stuff but I think it's lagging my phone any suggestions?

Hi? How do I undo all the kernel auditor, lspeed, govtuner, and the rest? I wish to flash the 7.0 and use without root. Root makes the phone unusable for me this way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
The easiest way to get back to stock is to reflash the stock firmware using Odin Version 3.12.7. You can find the lastest stock found in this post: https://xdaforums.com/att-s7-edge/how-to/firmware-att-s7-edge-g935a-official-t3412312

I know this is not the latest, but it is the lastest available with all 4 files needed. After installing that one, you can take the OTA and be up to date with the BQH1 firmware, or you can sideload the updates using this thread: https://xdaforums.com/att-s7-edge/how-to/updates-g935a-servers-adb-sideloads-t3583165

Once you return to stock all the Kernel Auditor, L-Speed, GovTurner will all be gone as when you flash the stock firmware as it will wipe your phone. Which is really good.

Hope this helps...

Yesterday, i already rooted my phone on QH3. Everything's fine but i have problem with smart view so i flash my phone back with odin and then try to root again. But this time root.bat did nothing like before. It make a lot of adb.exe windows appear and after it install SuperSU and Flashfire it just disappear and only the screen of adb.exe on the image above remain. I leave it there for 3 hours but nothing happen.

When the 1st time i run root.bat it only has only root.bat window and run step by step and after install SuperSU and Flashfire the window disappear, my phone reboot and it rooted. It only take about 5 mins.

I did exactly what i have done on the 1st time and i don't know how to fix it now, any solution?

You did enable USB debugging right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jazzdglass:
.

Why that Odin version?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
That is the original version from Samsung. The PrinceComsey Version, v. 3.12.3, always gave me errors whenever I tried to return to stock. If I am rooting I use the 3.12.3 version, when i return to stock, I use the V 3.12.7. At least it works for me :)

I just did this last night on my AT&T S7 running 7.0. Since then, the phone is very laggy. I've tried the suggested Kerneal Adiutor tweaks as well as the GovTuner tweaks.

Any suggestions what else to try?

I gather something about the root process makes the phone laggy, but I'm having a hard time understanding that. Can anybody explain a little bit why the root is causing lag?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Tass99:
Interesting that you mention Lockscreen Security. I'm trying to use this now, and it's getting stuck on "Resetting Lockscreen Security". I've disabled by security settings to see if that makes a difference, but doesn't seem to. After about 10 minutes of inactivity I give up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Just like me at the beginning. You start conducting your own tests and such and finding what suites you best. You will have to flash stock a lot haha. Something to help out a bit:

After flashing the ENG boot in AP, let the phone sit for a good 10 minutes, more if possible. This really helps with performance and battery for some reason.

Also, I recommend using this root.bat, it had some performance tweaks that make it a lot better as well :https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591023225177749

I also think you should grab govtuner, I set profile to battery and performance to 4, still super speedy. Great on battery too.

When you want to tweak your battery, grab xposed and get the modules amplify and power nap, work fantastic.

If you don't want xposed, greenify should do a decent job (better with all 3 of course)

Ok got govtuner installed and I think it is working, but when I run it I get an error. How do I fix it?

I know it has something to do with init.d but not for sure how.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Do you have init.d?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
Yes, I have it in the /system/etc directory, but it only has two files, 00test and 99SuperSUDaemon. Don't really know if I need it or not. Looks like GovTuner is working without the file in the init.d directory.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Alrighty cool, might not apply on boot though.

To do this, go yo /system/etc/govtuner and copy the file with the 00 in front of it to the init.d script and reboot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
Rgr that. Copied the 00gt_init file, changed the attributes to 755 and rebooted. Will wait and see now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Blade22222:
You could also use govtuner built into l speed if you can't get that working.

Im kind of in a sticky situation with my Verzion Galaxy S7 rooted on the Aug 1st security patch. Nothing major of course my phone works just fine, I Finally fixed the horrible lag with the latest Root.bat but the thing now is that there is a update for my phone. I tryed to update like normal but everytime it reboots into recovery it sayes "Installing Update" and shows a Android logo above it. Then it shows a error logo and reboots. When it finally boots up it sayes Update Failed and starts to download the update again just like the first time. I have Titanium Backup and just disabled the apps for the System Update. Is there a way I can update without factory reset or will I not be able to update at all?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] 1000Dead:
If it is stuck in a loop and all else fails I would flash back with Odin and not download the update. From my understanding taking Ota updates with any modifications can be detrimental.

Or maybe don't root until after updates and see how it goes?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] djkido316:
Thank you everyone for your awesome work.

Everything worked out fine except that i can't find settings.db in my G930T Running latest update neither using SQLite Editor or ES File explorer?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] 1000Dead:
You can update, but there is the possibility that it can break root or cause other issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Try and find stock firmware with the update from sammobile or somewhere and flash it, then root

No possible way of booting into safe mode ,also anyway of booting , it will boot with the triangle saying firmware not correct , I have even tried flashing the qe2 firmware first through Odin and also update from qd2 , the varient zip , will flash fine through flashfire asking as you are on qe2 firmware as it's your base , but the zip will say it's done but actually doesn't do anything ,I have tried all options for s7 flat with and without flat boot img eng ,tried only flashing system , no recover or boot on firmware zip,somehow I think that it's your firmware files zip, flashfire does completely analyzes correctly but from other roms all files are flashed through zip not firmware option and still changes the system has anyone else been able to do this on your rom correctly

I think I have it working now. What I was doing was (E)xiting the program instead of just closing the window in the Terminal Emulator. I kept exiting and then check the app and said it was inactive. Restarted it and exited, checked later and again not active.

Now when I close the window, not exiting, and check, it does stay activated so I think I am good to go. Thanks for [MENTION=4894444]Blade22222[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6801459]Craz Basics[/MENTION] help...

Will it reset my phone to factory? If it does then I just won't update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
Yes, it will. You can back up your phone with Smart Switch first and backup all your data and files before returning to stock. But to answer your question, it will wipe your phone.

If you UPDATE, no it will not wipe your phone. Just returning to stock will Wipe.

Hi all, I'm trying to get this working but I've never rooted before and the first post assumes the reader has some prior knowledge of rooting. Is there a condensed version that is more step-by-step oriented for those of us that can't follow the spaghetti post at the beginning? I'm sure someone's done it by now, but I really don't want to wade through 200 pages to find it. Is the Nougat_S7_Root_2_82_All_Carriers_V1.zip a self-contained package? Or does it need other programs in order to function? I see .bat files in there, but no idea what they do, other than "root" and "unroot."

Thanks in advance for your patience!

But every time I try to update it will say it failed. I don't get what you mean, you said it will wipe all my stuff but then you said it won't if I use Smart switch.

Hey everyone. I've rooted using this method but didnt like the performance after rooting so i've gone back to Stock using ODIN but my cellphone would always show Samsung Custom logo on the start of my phone even though i'm completely back to stock i even erased my data ie used CSC.

I am not for sure about US Cellular, but as the original post says "Root Android 7.0 Nougat on Galaxy S7 & S7 Edge devices. YES! Supports all USA Qualcomm variants. T-mobile, AT&T, Verizon and *Sprint (*Note: Some people have reported problems with the Sprint device after root, while others have had success. As always, read the thread for detail and use at your own risk)"

I would say, give it a try and if it works, then you will be rooted. If not then you won't be rooted.

I get to Step 10 and find that my computer and phone are not connected. Entering "ADB Devices" on a command line returns nothing. I've ensured the ADB and Drivers are installed and the cable is sound. I'm noticing that my desktop is no longer recognizing my phone as a device on USB, and I'm getting no option to set which kind of configuration the phone uses (MTP or PTP, etc). Phone is otherwise functional at this point. Can you point me in a direction to work in?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
What happens when you type just "adb"? Try using "adb devices" all lower case. Also sounds like the drivers are not installed correctly.

When I type "adb" alone, I get all the command line parameters such as -l, bugreport, etc etc.

Typing "adb devices" informs me the daemon isn't running, and that it will start shortly. After a pause, I get the command line again. Typing in "adb devices" a second time I get a blank list. This is with my phone attached to my computer via USB.

It does seem like the drivers are borked -- is there another package that I should install that I might have overlooked?

I wasn't, and tried this. Same result: nothing listed after entering "adb devices"

I did this using the installer. No indication that anything failed -- used the default location and the installer completed successfully. Trying "adb devices" again (with admin privileges) returns nothing.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] bcrichster:
Umm, the drivers thing.. Win10 is ****ty about ppl using non Windows drivers, (and doing Development) they hate it so you have to disable "driver signature verification check" in UEFI (hold the Select button when hitting reboot from start menu). It'll reboot into UEFI and you go into Advanced (somewhere) to disable it. When it reboots, you can install any/all drivers ya want until the next reboot where it resets.

Is flashing loading the ENG into Odin? If so, no, I have not been able to make a connection with my computer. Apparently I am missing drivers, but I'm not sure which they are. Installing the default Samsung USB drivers doesn't help -- I've installed them about 5 times now.

I have just tried those links you provide. Of them, only two resulted in actual installers, and those two were identical to the one you linked in your 10 step post. So I am no further along in finding whichever driver I am missing. Is there a way to force my phone to recognize a data USB connection? I am not getting the notification to toggle between modes.

If it isn't the drivers, then it can be the computer, cables, or the phone connection. Try a different cable. Try eliminating all the different things. It has to be something as there are so many people that have completed this.
