No no. Flash all the files that comes with the T-mobile firmware. Completely stock. (Should show AP, BL, CP, CSC) Flash those all in odin, and they should be found in the link i sent you. If it's a .tar file, make sure not to unzip it(Even though I'm sure it will be.md5)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] ecm77:
OK I'm with you. Then how do I root it at that point?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Once you flash all those files (Make sure you don't flash the modified boot image, flash the stock found in download!) then you go enable "OEM unlock" and "USB Debugging" in dev options. Then you'll want to put back into download mode. Next, flash the moddified boot img (yes, now lol). If it boots after that let me know.

Got it! Do you think it matters that I am downloading the G935 firmware though when I have a G930 phone? Or was that what you were saying, to try it and see? It is downloading now, will take a couple hours it seems.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Crap my mistake, download it for your phone! I'm super sorry. I was thinking of my model

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] caspersfi:
Thanks. I definitely wouldn't have the ROM which is fine. I just remember seeing a Nougat thread saying something to the effect of you have to update "this" firmware to "that" firmware and so on to eventually work up to Nougat firmware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Do you want to go to Nougat? You can just flash the nougat firmware

Have you flashed the modified boot img? If not get it from the youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcFEcycZZnU&t=169s

Make sure its for the s7, not edge. Make sure you use the moddified odin here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bygh6W_e2Fo5dlFBVDRCUXN0TTQ

Then, if you get it to boot. Simply run the "Root.bat" file in the fastboot folder here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bygh6W_e2Fo5dGdGdUJ4TEViaG8

In the folder, hold shift and right click in the folder, and click "Open command window here" and type in "root.bat" Should root it. Might have to press some keys(It will tell you)

Mine did the same thing! I did this at 11 last night and it just came back on 2 o clock today. Couldn't turn off or on. Would just boot loop. Finally it shows I'm rooted and seems to be working except for Bluetooth.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Were you guys able to force restart? (Hold down power and volume down)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] ecm77:
It worked!!! The T-Mobile stock firmware allowed me to root, no more boot loop and the root process successfully completed.

So then, what are the ramifications of leaving my phone with a T-Mobile image even though I am not on the T-Mobile network? Or should I try downloading some of the other SM-G930U images from sammobile and try and find one that will work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] i_feer_no_beer:
I literally could not do anything. I knew my phone was on because occasionally my lockscreen would show, then go blank. I just left it charging all day and stopped messing with it. It came back to life on it's own. Now if someone could help me fix my Bluetooth problem...

LTE works, but no calls or texts

So I followed all steps to a T, and after all steps were completed, my calls and texts no longer work. I've wiped and re-rooted and every time I get the same result. Upon looking further into it, I found after trying to set my voicemail, the number that the system was reflecting was no longer my number. Does anybody have any ideas to how I'm able to change my phone number that the system detects? I've been struggling with this for a few weeks now, and I've checked through the forums and did a fair amount of Googling for a solution with no luck.

Thank you so much to Araltd

I just got my S7 Edge and its running almost flawless :)

Lasted 13hrs normal use .

I had an issue when I first installed it so this is what I did.

1. Fresh Install of Nougat Firmware on AT&T fresh from androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120713605

2. Followed instructions from original post on root and supersu

3. Set 3&4 performance 1&2 interactive . (Set to Boot)

GPU - msm-adreno-tz (Set to Boot)

I noticed the video starts at 2:49, does that mean we do not have to do the odin flash in the beginning, and if you do, can I use the 935 file on a 930?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
You can start the video from 0:00 if you want. Just click on the time bar at the bottom of the video to start it from the beginning.

You do not want to use the 935 file on the 930 phone. It will not work and will mess your phone up. If you read the comments, someone did just that and had problems.

One last thing, the OP of this post is for Nougat and the video is for Marshmallow. If you are on Nougat, I wouldn't use any of those files.

Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:

Yes, I know how to start the video from the beginning that is why I asked why we are not doing the Odin flash in the beginning, and I know this thread is based on Nougat, are you saying all the files that Craz put in that post should not be used on my Nougat phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
Not for sure which files Craz put up. I was saying the files in the Video were for MM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Droid_Nut:
Okay, gottcha. I think Craz probably did put up the right files, but do I still start the process from the 2:49 on my phone?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
Ok went back and looked at the video @2:49 and from that point you are installing the SuperSU files. If you have already installed the eng.img to your phone, then yes, go from 2:49. If you have not installed the eng.img, then you will probably have to start from 0:00 and use Odin to flash the file to allow you to root your phone.

Installing the eng.img does not root your phone, per se, but allows you to install SuperSU and complete the root process. You need to have both, eng.img and supersu, installed to complete the root process.

Hope that makes sense...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Okay thank you, it worked!!

Sigh... really bootlooped my G930U.

I followed

ENG (AP) files for S7 and S7E (from this post https://xdaforums.com/sho...8&postcount=28 )
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767141717
(This is the ENGINEER boot kernel boot.tar file you'll be flashing in the special modified Odin software from your PC)

Odin (the moded version) said pass, and... bootloop. I tried the stock nougat and started bootlooping into recovery. I tried the stock MM and I'm back to bootlooping into recovery.

The stock MM tars are known to be good. I used them to unroot, and got back to stock MM as expected. This time I used "stock" Odin 3.12 and the G930UUES4AQC1 tars. Odin said pass but I'm still looping.

I tried VolUP,Home,Pwr to get to recovery - loop. Only download works.

Now what?

Sprint GS7, on nougat, have tried all the tricks to get calls, text and data working after attempting root. Randomly will receive an SMS or see LTE pop up, but no consistency, very few and far between. Lets hope Smartswitch will let me perform emergency recovery...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] carpboy:
I had a new out of box 6.0 S7 Edge on Friday. When I got home and started looking at it, a 7.0 OTA came in, along with some other minor update. This is a 935T BTW.

I played all day Saturday and 1/2 of Sunday trying to get my apps AND data into it w/out root. Everything failed, it was extraordinarily frustrating.

So I tried this here. Done exactly as in the OP. Used the linked version of Odin, the eng boot file, flashed it, rebooted and then ran the adb root.bat file from the command line.

It rebooted again an was very laggy. When it settled down I went into the kernel tweaker, again as in the OP, and set both to ondemand.

I then went into settings and made graphics resolution the highest and also set it for maximum performance.

It was much better, very little lag.

Quadrant was I think 35000, AnTuTu 98000.

I then loaded it up with all my apps (200 of them). Used it all day with bits of lag here and there, mostly with camera and gallery it seemed. Home button sometimes took a couple of seconds, but not too bad.

With everything loaded and full graphics and max performance in N settings, Quadrant now at 15000 and AnTuTu 76000.

Battery seems to be fairly OK, not outstanding. I had it at 6:30p 95%, I used it heavily for an hour then drove 2 hours with two GPS apps running. On the job site I used it hard for a little, now I am using it harder with tethering also, after 5 hours it is at 40%.

Edit: I had added a weather widget just cuz I was screwing around, the battery applet in settings is telling me it is using 8 % points/hour. Can that be true? I'll whack it to see of there is any difference.

I am coming from something that was really bogged down so this seems gold to me.

But the rooting at this time was just to get my app data over. To be honest, if I could keep my apps and unroot, I would. I'd like to see the speed with all my apps. But in the long run, root is a must.

Edit: Forgot to add, when rooted I debloated the health apps, lookout, and the logging app (it was giving the warning notice constantly). Debloated a couple other things, like Facebook, but didn't go crazy.

I've seen do a factory reset after flashing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] zzEvilGeniuszz:
Luckily mine didnt reboot when I ran root.bat

Did you try running it again? Do you get random reboots or is it just when the root is actually installing? My root went fine however I did notice random reboots after.

Like I had mentioned earlier in the thread it was all way more hassle than I was willing to commit to. I went to SamMobile and download stock firmware and flashed back to stock 6.0. Shortly after I was prompted to update to stock Android 7.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Araltd:
I figured that, and I'm hoping I have a better experience next attempt. I fubar'd my phone after rooting by installing and trying so many tweaks... Had I stuck with 1 I'd probably had been ok. I was forced to factory reset and do a fresh install of N.

I won't have time tomorrow, hopefully Wednesday. I will of course report back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] miko12312:
I'm trying go back to stock but it takes going to mm to get the n update but it's the boot.img that's the co flict I think , after pushing su the /data/su.img then it reboot it did this exact same thing in mm as wee using the same su version and if I'm right we can have exposed installed if we use the right version
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] zzEvilGeniuszz:
In your situation you very well may have to go all the way back to mm then get the OTA update to N. I think the issues vary, I did not experience any issues you are having and for what it seems you didnt experience any of the ones I had.

Perhaps if you start over from scratch. MM, then OTA update to N. Then, reboot in recovery then wipe. Reboot, then attempt to run root.bat

See if that helps.

What was your model number originally? Or was it G930U since you got it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] RBEmerson:
SM-G930U - never changed it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] RBEmerson:
I stopped the MM bootlooping. The short version of what went wrong was Odin was using the Nougat folder instead of the stock files folder. [/finger gun to head]

The long version...

I have three S7 folders: To_stock, To_route, Nougat. The first two are MM and the last is N. The MM folders have the plain Odin 3.12. N has the modded Odin. Where the wheels fell off is when I used all of the files in Nougat and I wound up in a bootloop. I opened the To_stock folder and launched its Odin.exe. But... that exe saw the last folder used (Nougat) and I used it AP, etc. Yes, I'm clueless for not checking the folder and file names.

The stock MM installed; I'm back to MM, of course. But N keeps bootlooping. Here's what I'm using for N: XAA-G930UUEU4BQD2-20170428165520.zip. I grabbed XAA because this an unbranded phone and I want to avoid any sort of branding. If I had to pick one carrier's files, I'd have to go with VZW as they're my carrier.

The situation, then, is how can I get stock N to load. I have VZW pushing N at me, but a) can the OTA version be rooted, b) am I now branded to VZW, and c) if I need to reload N for some reason, do I use the VZW files, the XAA files, or am I SOL?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Krog18:
You can use the XAA version and odin N with those files. Don't use the modified version of odin. Just use the regular odin you've been using for everything else. Also make sure to add all 4 files in odin...bl,ap,cp and csc.

Or you can take the ota to N and root that.

Sent from my SM-G935V
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] RBEmerson:
OMG!! It actually worked on the first try! I think I got myself in trouble by thinking and assuming (getcha every time) that I didn't need BL. Silly me.

Interestingly, as I was cleaning things up (adding fingerprints, etc.), VZW(?) pushed an OTA at me. I assume (there's that word again) that brings me from 7.0 to 7.0.1. I hope.

Next up, rooting N. And adding V4A is I can get SELinuxToggler to work.

Added: Sigh... I think I was just hosed by that OTA. I've still got 7.0 but, I fear, some nasty security fixes to keep rooting from happening. Damn!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
When you get V4A please share the link you used!!! I've been trying but I can't get the drivers to say they are installed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] RBEmerson:
I haven't tried it under Nougat. I think there's a "for Nougat" V4A version in the zip. Anyway, what matters is flipping SELinux from enforcing to permissive. There's a nice little app called SELinuxToggler that does that (look on XDA for a file from Ibuprophen - yes, that's the right spelling). You must be rooted to use this. With SELinux in permissive mode, if you did everything else right, you should see the drivers. Keep in mind you need to turn on at least one mode (speakers, for example) and play something through your player of choice. You should see the driver looking as it should. But without SELinux in permissive mode, the driver will never work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
That's why! Thanks, I never would have thought if that. Can you provide a link, I couldn't find anything. The one I found the download link didn't work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] RBEmerson:
Getting permissive mode is one of things that sounds "how hard can it be", but is really a little trickier than that. Google includes checks to keep nasty things like SELinuxToggler from doing damage to your phone. And this time it's not just a simple block to keep owners from using their phones. This a pathway for all sorts of malware grief. Anyway, be sure you have permissive mode and you should be fine.
