Again. I followed this method and right after flashing the engbootimg, the phone reboots into a bootloop. Is there something I'm doing wrong
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] dandel0074:
Just to be safe are you in nougat and what is your device model ? I know you said that you followed the steps but I'd double check. There s been times when is skip one. Like oem on and debugging

Try odin flashing the ENG. File Again.

I see you posted in the other root thread also, so if your trying to use the eng file from that thread it's not going to boot if your on nougat, that file is for marshmallow, the eng link on this thread is for nougat. How long are you waiting for it to boot? First boot can take 5-10 mins.

Are you using power saving mode all the time? That SOT's good I might try your root.bat. Does the phone overheats when watching videos?

What would happen if I flashed twrp via odin and flashed SuperSu in recovery. I'm on Nougat but I read somewhere that though this was originally done for MM that it would work on Nougat as well?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Araltd:
After trying kernel adiutor, Lspeed, kernel toolkit, I obviously made things worse. The lag and battery life kept getting increasingly worse.

I did a full Odin restore. Went to recovery (volume up, home and power) did a factory reset and full wipe. Then went into download mode (volume down, home and power) and used Odin to flash Android 7 Nougat from scratch.

Yes, obviously that cleared everything which is what I wanted. Fresh start. The speed difference and battery difference is tremendous (stock vs the engineer kernel root)

I may try again but today was nothing short of miserable with this phone. Just the act of unlocking the screen from screen off was taking 5+ seconds... The phone would ring and would take several seconds for the UI to pop up to answer. Same thing with texts... I'd hear it but it would take me 10+ seconds to actually be able to reply, maybe longer?. Like I said its been completely unacceptable to me. The lag seemed like it was better in the beginning yesterday but now I understand why people stayed away from this type of root because of the lag. The battery drain was stupid.... I must have charged it 4 times in the past 36 hours. And I slept last night.... LMAO.

Plus with no xposed for N, no rom development, no custom recovery, there is just very little advantage to even having root right now (for me - ymmv). Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I think I'll stick with fast, no lag, good battery, package disabler, and stock for now.

I will continue to monitor and contribute to this thread as much as possible

** I'm very sad **
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] zzEvilGeniuszz:
I am on Sprint. I hated the Android 7 OTA (stock) cause my battery life was awful. Having said that I was extremely willing to give this a go.

It was pretty easy process to get this rooted.

HOWEVER....

It deactivated my device. It was also lagging. First I edited the kernal and changed it to CPU to CONSERVATIVE. Then rebooted. It wouldnt stick and kept changing back to INTERACTIVE. After multiple tries and reboots it finally stuck.

Next up was the build.prop

Reference:

https://xdaforums.com/sprint-galaxy-s7/how-to/sm-g930p-root-t3410604

Once I changed the settings at first it still wouldnt accept the Sprint network. Finally, same thing. After many tried and reboots it finally accepted the changes.

Now... it randomly reboots the phone. I finally got everything going but now it randomly shuts off and reboots. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Lag will always be using these type of kernel root .. doesnt matter what device you have, They are also laggy for note5,S6edge+,s6,s6edge and many other more models .. mess around like other users posted and you should be fine, if not just flash back stock kernel

Please share the dual speaker mod.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] carpboy:
I am on my first full day and I must admit I am not noticing anything wrong. I am coming from a creaky AOKP S3 though.......

I have had the phone on constantly for 5 hours and the battery is at 50%. I am not noticing any lag whatsoever.

WiFi calling and bluetooth are intact. I debloated the health and gear stuff.

AnTuTu went from 98000 stock, no apps, to 73000 with all my junk fully loaded.

It will get a batter workout once I settle down with the configuring, I am having a # of apps not be compatible with 7.0 and it is causing some headaches.

If I start exhibiting issues, is all I have to do is unroot? I need to keep my app data, that was the whole reason I did this so soon, I had to get my data into the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] quincyman1104:

Nodda, I've never even tried battery saving mode.

Not that I've ever noticed. I've never tried watching a full movie though. I'm sure if the movie is action packed enough it would heat up even on stock kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Binary100100:
Either the wrong engineering kernel or you had disabled system apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] michel5891:
It boot loops. Doesn't actually boot.

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 PM ----------

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Binary100100:
How did you disable the system apps?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] michel5891:
I don't believe I did. If I did I can't remember.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Binary100100:
Then that probably isn't what caused the problem.

Look. I'll keep this simple.

WIPE your phone from recovery.

Restore with Smartswitch or ODIN (with entire firmware zip package)

Start over.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] michel5891:
I've done that already. I'm back on 7.0 Nougat. G935TUVS4BQC1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Binary100100:
So is it broke?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] michel5891:
No no. Not at all. I'm actually using the phone right now to communicate. I repaired the boot loop by reinstalling the stock firmware via Odin.

If I am to try the rooting method, I will be met with a boot loop. Where the Samsung galaxy S7 edge Powered by android logo pops up then goes black then reboots to the same logo. Never boots into the OS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Binary100100:
Then maybe stop trying to fix it. It's not worth the hassle.

To prove my point, what custom rom are you trying to flash? (Rhetorical question.)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] michel5891:
O.k. I never said I'm trying to fix anything neither am I installing a custom Rom. I'm trying to ROOT the current OS I'm on, using the methods in this thread. I'm trying to get PAST the boot loop and proceed with rooting.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freak69ize:
Are you using the right eng kernel? There are two in the zip file... And are you flashing it in the ap slot in Odin? Make sure debugging is ticked in dev options too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Binary100100:
If this file doesn't work: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767141717

Then for some reason your phone might not be rootable.

Sorry but you posted for help in TWO different threads. I'm commenting in BOTH trying to troubleshoot and advise against rooting.

You're persistant but it's also annoying. Choose a stupid thread and stick to it! THIS is why we have a forum rule that says to only post ONCE.

I'm sure that you're not the only person that has had issues rooting so you're answer/solution is likely in the thread somewhere. Obviously, since I'm not rooted and have already given you all the advice that I could then I'll no longer be commenting. I was assisting in troubleshooting. I'll leave the rest to the forum... in BOTH threads that you commented your problem on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] michel5891:
Yea man. You've convinced me it's not worth it. I sincerely mean that. I'm not bothering with the root. Thank you for responding and for your time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jshamlet:
This phone can really make you question your life choices. If you don't have a truly compelling need, it really makes sense to bail, because this device seems to conspire against anything you attempt to do that Samsung doesn't "approve" of. Even disabling bloat can make the battery usage go haywire.

I am planning to make one last attempt this weekend at root using the new root.bat, but if it craps out again, I may just stick with unrooted stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Binary100100:
Seriously people. Ask yourself what benefit will root bring you?

We don't have recovery, we can't have custom kernels, we don't have custom roms.

Sure you have an adblocker, you can have xposed and maybe a couple other perks. But weigh the cost.

Poor battery life, reboots, lag, phone heats up, no Samsung Pay, few other apps won't work, no security updates thus leaving you vulnerable, etc.

If you REALLY REALLY want root. Get a rootable phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Araltd:
Release them... It betters the community. We would all appreciate it.

Sent from my Rooted Galaxy S7 EDGE on Android 7.0 Nougat, here's the instructions how to do it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freak69ize:
Yes..this ^
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] carpboy:
What I miss the most being not rooted is TiBU and being able to backup/restore in the blink of an eye, along with freezing in an instant. 2nd is running a custom recovery, but since there is none that is a moot point.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jshamlet:
Agreed. The only thing really ticking me off is the lack of a good no-root firewall solution (I'm still tinkering with NetGuard) and the fact that disabling bloat without root seems to cause some sort of battery issue (which doesn't happen when you use Titanium Backup).

It would help greatly if Samsung would get off their rear ends and update the unlocked firmware to Nougat, but in the meantime, I'm asking myself some hard questions before I fire up Odin again.

---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 PM ----------

Yeah, the loss of Titanium Backup is pretty rough. I don't use it often, but when I do, it makes all the difference. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
You guys should try the modded root.bat I posted, you'll love yourselves for trying it lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] mkutsen:
Finally decided to try it. Was running Nougat BQC1 on T-Mobile, rooted / jkurse's ROM version 6.

Dirty flashed Version 10

Applied Quickvick30 root.bat

Followed instructions

Now all lag disappeared! It is either just as fast or faster than stock! Android Pay still works.

Great work, thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Crossbows:
If I root my device using this method is it possible to unroot without having to restore stock firmware? I don't want to restore to stock firmware because I have turned some apps into system apps and don't want them removed. But I need to unroot to pass safetynet.

If it's not possible, then if I create a backup of the device with the new system apps, and go back to stock and restore backup, will it restore them as system apps?

Any information is appreciated. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] dandel0074:
I agree worked wonders for me. I thought it was posted and updated the the first page? I think I have that file and keeping it for future reference.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] michel5891:
I'm not even going to bother,. I'll just wait until a robust method is achieved and custom recovery such as TWRP is available with a custom Rom. For the msn time, this version of touch wiz isn't that bad. I see no need for ROOT atm.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Exodusoffg:
I used Quickvic30's new root.bat file and buildprop addtions. Feels like stock or better. Phone is not heating up at all. I dont have any additional tweak apps imstalled either. I highly recommend his root.bat. Im on a tmobile s7.

Battery seems on par with stock as well. I have never got great battery life to begin with. My next step is to freeze bloatware. Or maybe flash the custom rom in the other thread.

The major reason I rooted is for viper4android. Samsung went way to low on thier sound settings. My s5 stock sound was way better.

Much thanks to the OP and Quickvic30.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] :
L Speed works on rooted S7's so yeah you can.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
Yeah definitely, I just think it runs best in touched but that could just be in my head lol. If you don't like the tweaks you can always just reflash the root.bat and that should bring back the stock settings.

---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 PM ----------

Try flashing the root.bat again. You have the eng.kernel installed I assume? There's no super su app in your app drawer?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] michel5891:
Yea I did it twice and yes I have eng.kernel installed. After rebooting it says custom with an open lock symbol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
You have unknown sources turned on in settings/security? In devolper options make sure you have oem unlock on, USB debugging on, and have verify apps through ADB turned off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] michel5891:
Very apps via ADB was on. Turned it off, now what?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
Try reflash the root.bat again.

When your flashing the root.bat it takes a few minutes for that to flash so once you start flashing it don't touch or unhook the phone until it reboots on its own.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] michel5891:
Works!!!! Thank you very much!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
Wow that's unreal lol. Go into the su app and uninstall it, reboot to recovery and wipe cache partition. Reboot and try running root.bat again. Once it reboots power off and reboot recovery wipe cache again then power on.

No lag, no overheating. I just want to know now what, since I've rooted? Is xposed framework our for nougat? What else can I do, now that my device is rooted? Viper?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] :
Xposed isn't available for nougat yet, but Rovo89 claims it's coming soon. Wanam or some other dev will need to make a build that works on TouchWiz after that. V4A universal works on the rooted S7's but had audio issues on the u.s S7's (volume blasts at maximum after every reboot).

I was running the build prop edits for the past few days. Now I'm trying without them and it seems very similar so far. I've only been running without since this morning so I will report back after a couple days of use without the edits so we can compare.
