Congratulations! You are ROOTED WITH NO LAG!

Ok, I am already rooted with Eng bootloader so I am downloading that version of Odin and I will flash with the firmware you recommended. Hope I don't brick my phone lol. :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] ars18:
Hope you don't :p. If you do, shouldn't be a hard brick. LMK what happens! If you are successful as I have been, please make a post so people can see. Maybe by then I'll be able to. Btw I've been using this phone a whole day testing and it's amazing. Only lag is standard after booting for about a minute. Awesome. Finally got my phone back.

LMK!

Actually so we have proof of your claims, is there an app I could run and get a score on my phone speed before I do the flash? Don't want to fail suffering from the placebo effect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] ars18:
Not sure what you mean.

No i mean like bench-marking software. I am not saying I dont believe you but I didn't know if lag would show up under CPU or a benchmark.

Oh. I have no idea. Dunno if this helps but I've seen some ppl using antutu or something like that. Not sure. However, I myself used my phone on the ENGBOOT for a month. The difference is crazy.

My bad, the rar hadnt finished extracting yet, it is around 38 mb.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] rbgCODE:
I got about the same score. Going to flash back to the eng boot loader and see if there is a difference. Is there anything aside from clearing my dalvik and other caches to make sure the phone is good for a test anyone else can think of?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] ars18:
It seems from that picture that you are on the v firmware. That test is from before?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] rbgCODE:
But i thought we were just flashing the bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] ars18:
Nope. If you look at my instructions, I said to first flash the g935u firmware. I guess I wasn't clear and I'm sorry for that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] ars18:
Sorry for the confusion. But are you going to give it another try?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
Why this happens is when flashing a different bootloader you wipe the dalvik cache. Im going to redo the root thread one of these days I will put your suggestion in or feel free to post your own you can use my root files i dont care. There are actually newer ones that people to the liberty too post other places some without even asking so I just kinda let it go. I just figured most of us run unrooted modded roms with my quick root unroot method because you may feel the lag is gone and battery is good until you actually put the stock boot.img back and your like oh my god. We are getting 8 to 10 hrs screen on time or normal use full 24 hrs with 4 or 5 hrs of screen on time. Oreo is out and there is no root so root is kind of a dying thing. Chainfire ceased development on all his apps flashfire will cease to work soon even on paid version. If you havent tried one of the modified unrooted roms I highly suggest you do. Xposed still works on them samsung pay. They pass safety net. Best of both worlds In stangs rom you still have all his mods working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] ars18:
I didn't get all that you said. Just to be clear I am on STOCK firmware and ROOTED. There is no lag because it is STOCK.

---------- Post added at 08:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 PM ----------

And correct me if I'm wrong, but this method should be able to be used on any new phone with laggy engboot method.

---------- Post added at 08:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

And for some reason flashfire never worked for me on this phone. Crashed constantly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] rbgCODE:
I thought the steps for this was to use the eng_boot file to gain root. Then you flashed the file you posted after you had gained root to get rid of the lag issues. As far as flashfire if you have the pro version it is fine. The reason it is crashing is they had a blow_up function set for 4/1/2018 i think that is the right date and they havent released an update to fix that. It isnt that the software is broken. You can change the date on your phone to say 2/1/2018 and it will work fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] ars18:
I did use the ENGBOOT to gain root. Flashing the BL file after removed the ENGBOOT and still retained root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] ars18:
To put people at ease, I have retried the entire process on my phone. Went without a hitch.

Flash Ufirm, then eng boot for ufirm, then root. I used "root with fixes." Then flash the standard ufirm boot. Then you get the best possible stable root. It was from another thread about a bootloader, Verizon forum I think. Full root, no overheating and damn near no lag. Enjoy.

New rookie

Hello and good afternoon. Rookie here. I have a SM-G935V (hero2qltevzn) currently loaded with Android 7.0, build #NRD90M G935VVRU 4BQA4. I have no idea if the boot loader is locked or not, I assume it is.

Before the upgrade to 7.0 (quite a while ago) I used an app called FoxFi for my hotspot with my data plan. When Verizon updated to 7.0, I lost FoxFi. I'd like to get it back. I assume rooting the phone will allow FoxFi to again work with my data plan. If not, I'd like to get back to 6.x to re-enable FoxFi.

I normally use an iMac desktop. I also have an old XP machine and Parallels on the Mac with an XP installation. I'm having some difficulty getting either Parallels XP or stand alone XP machine to access "secure" internet sites. I may be able to use a flash drive to get files over to the XP machine from the iMac.

I've had some success getting the iMac to connect using a JOdin3 software, but it's not really working for rooting (like I said, I'm a rookie with zero experience on Odin.

First, is it right that root will enable FoxFi to use my existing data plan, and second, do I start with the postings on page 1. Thank you guys for any help and your patience with a rookie.

Mike K.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Wimmer4Archery:
Thanks Rlewis,

Well now you've got me intrigued. I had postponed the rooting process due to the dreaded lag issue. However, now, I smell a new CPU project just brewing... ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] ars18:
Yup. That was me. Think we chatted on another thread, u and me. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] ars18:
Hi Mike. Never used foxfi. All I can say is that if an app requires root and you had it working previously on a phone without root.... Then rooting won't help. I'll check further into this when i have time and let you know.

Or u can use this app.

Netshare

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...apk&pcampaignid=APPU_1_eTcGW7WtOcrwsAWEjrGABg
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] mikeklon:
Hi and good morning. Thank you for the reply.

FoxFi allowed use of my existing data plan (which is an old unlimited plan) to hot spot without rooting, and no extra charges for Verizon's hot spot feature.

I suspect FoxFi is setting some code first (root?), because after launching and enabling FoxFi, I have to go into Verizon's hot spot app, enable it, then I'm good to go. This worked fine under MM. After the Nougat install, the feature is disabled and Verizon says "you need to subscribe to use this feature".

The (implied) assumption is that rooting is an alternative to using FoxFi (or any other app) for hot spotting, without Verizon's extra charges.

I will investigate if NetShare does this . If it does, then my issued would be solved. If not, I'm going to continue to try to either get back to MM (if that's possible) or root. I will report back on NetShare.

Thank you again to everyone for helping a rookie out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] mikeklon:
So I took a look at NetShare. I could not get it to work, but that could have been for a number of reasons.

I did however find an update to the PDAnet application (which for all intents and purposes is FoxFi). I installed the update and voila, FoxFi once again does it's magic, albeit a bit more cumbersome.

I'd still like to get this phone rooted, so I'll continue with the project even though my main motivation was to get FoxFi working again.

Thank you to everyone for sharing their expertise and time.

Best regards,

Mike K.

My s7 edge is now fully rooted with Ufirmware and I reflashed the stock BL as Arse18 suggested. I am very happy with the performance of the phone while rooted! It is super snappy! I did a benchmark test before I obtained root on this device. I will post these scores along with the newly rooted scores soon for comparison after I install all my apps on the phone.

The only issue that I have is loss of the fingerprint sensor. When using JKRuse's root.bat, I chose to use the finger print fix when obtaining root through the program. However, the fingerprint sensor does not work now.

Can somebody direct me to a fix for the finger print sensor? In the meantime, I will go back and read through the entire thread to see if I can fix the issue myself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Wimmer4Archery:
Okay, two issues that I have are as follows:

1) Finger print reader does not work

Any suggestions on the finger print issue?

P.S. I have been tweaking CPU governor's to my liking with Kernal Adiutor. If anyone wants to conserve batter life with Kernal Adiutor, I recommend the following video form YouTube.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Wimmer4Archery:
I'm response to my own question, the fingerprint sensor DOES work fine while rooted. I rerooted my phone and this time correctly chose to use the fingerprint fix. I had chosen the option not to install the fingerprint fix the first time by accident.

All thanks goes to jkruse for his ingenious and skill behind the keyboard!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Wimmer4Archery:
I have been experiencing a problem where root is granted to apps that require root for a couple of minutes after a fresh boot, but then suddenly the Supersu app just quits working.

So, I tried to Flash Supersu 2.82 SR5 in zip format via Flashfire and got the message that a authorized actions have been attempted on this device. See attached pic.

So I am reverting back to an unrooted phone via Odin.

It appears to me that there is just not any continued support foe Supersu 2.82 and that we are fighting a losing battle.

I am now back on un-rooted,, but fully functional U-firmware. Think I'll stay that way unless the owners of Chainfire get their act together and revive the Supersu app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Wimmer4Archery:
Just have one question about running a rooted s7 edge. Is it possible to run this phone in a rooted state without Supersu installed?

According to the OP, it is possible.

What has been the experience of other users in regards to running this phone rooted, but without SuperSu installed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] ars18:
Correct me if im wrong, but I think [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] said that uninstalling supersu after root will grant all root apps permission automatically. So basically any root app you run will already have permission with no user input needed. Hope this helps!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Wimmer4Archery:
Thanks. yeah, I noticed that there seemed to be another 'app' or at least a dialog box that appeared that asked something like, 'an unexpected request for superuser permissions has been requested, grant or deny" and then the familiar countdown timer begins. This was definitely NOT SuperSu app by Chainfire asking this. It was either the' Superuser X' app that I also had installed, or it was some kind of default dialog that appears when SuperSu is not present on the device, but the device is rooted.

I had been experiencing loss of root minutes after booting and I highly believed it to be the unsupported SuperSu app. So, if it is possible to ditch the SuperSu app by Chainfire and run this phone rooted, I'm back on the game wagon.

P. S. Just a note to any future root attempts. As of this year, a new Samsung security patch has been integrated in all firmwares that apparently has the capability of locking a phone down for 7 days! This is a security block by Samsung that we must be wary of.

The only way around it, is to flash firmware that was released before 2018 and to completely wipe the cache via recovery before installing the Engineer's boot image and beginning the root process. And AWAYS have a back up stock firmware ready to go in case things go south.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Wimmer4Archery:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Wimmer4Archery:
Okay, so battery life is better than it was before, but Package Disabler will no longer work. BK Package Disabler Pro is not currently offered on Play Store because the company cannot bypass Samsung s latest security patch.

Package Disabler does offer a work around with ADB that doesn't require root.
