I don't have the option to open command window here. So, when I run root.bat by double clicking, it opens a command window and runs, but then it gets to a option where it says what type of root I want. 1 for root no tweak 2 for root with gov tweak 3 for root etc.

So, when I click 1 for root with no tweak command then closes.

Is there any other way of Opening a command window in that file explorer window?

Question.. hopefully I'm posting in the correct thread. I've seen posts that bootloader unlock is possible on the vzw s7 edge. Can anyone confirm that the method online is valid and working? I've rooted and bootloader unlocked my lg g3 and vzw galaxy s3. Would like to root bootloader unlock and install custom Rom on s7 edge phone if possible. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] CloudyxVision13:
No. Wherever else you saw that claim, it is false. Verizon's bootloaders cannot be unlocked.

I wanted to give a quick update.

Following suggestions I found on a few threads here, I went ahead and updated all three of my rooted phones to firmware QH1 on Friday, and they are all still rooted.

I used ODIN to re-flash the stock firmware (using HOME-CSC to keep my apps and settings intact. I downloaded the firmware from one of the links I found here on XDA.

I then re-rooted using the procedure in the OP.

I had two issues (that I can think of):

1. A few of the settings (lock screen settings, specifically - maybe one or two others?) were cleared in the process - and I had to set them up again.

2. One of the phone (the one *I* use, of course), rooted okay, but SuperSU was missing after the reboot. Installing it from the Play store appeared to break root. So I just re-rooted it again.

Other than those issues, I think everything else went pretty smoothly.

I hope this is helpful to others.

I've searched the thread and can't find sm-g935u... will this method work on sm-g935u build QH3? And is this the only root method? Is there a custom recovery option?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] ahageman84:
Not sure about your devices and this method. But I do know that you can flash TWRP via Odin. But that would trip knox.

Magisk just implamented a rooting method without the need for a custom recovery as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Bones519:
I thought if you flashed TWRP it would brick this phone... no?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] ahageman84:
After some more searching. Yes, TWRP will brick your device :( . The bootloader is locked as far as I can tell.

So it looks as though there is this method as well as CF Auto-Root available to you.

Also I would give Magisk a go. Here is the the link and look at post #29:

You will get root without a custom recovery.

Hey guys, just a couple questions from a new school bootloader noob. I've rooted a handful of devices before.

I have been on Apple for awhile but wanted to give an Android phone a try and picked up and edge fairly cheap. If I have a G935V on 7.0, July 1 security patch, and NRD90M.G935VVVRU4BQG1 will I be able to root without bricking? Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] seandop:
The device on that firmware can be rooted without bricking it. To whether or not *you* can do it, I cannot speak.

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?

Hi there, I've spent countless hours trying to correctly root my phone without success.

As a last resort I make this thread post, because I didn't want to bother anyone.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930F, that just will not behave.

I have been following your guide in an attempt to finally root it without success.

After step 1, my phone becomes stuck in a boot loop and never properly reboots so that I can enable developer options. I've tried trouble shooting, by installing a stock rom and then flashing the recommend tar.md5 file in the AP slot and whilst in download mode, still I get the same issue.

I'm unsure what it is happening. I was wondering if you could help step me through the process a little more?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] State.of.mind:
You're probably flashing edge firmware and not the normal firmware
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Sczar:
You have (SM-G930F)? :confused:

Thats a Exynos international version.

You are in the wrong thread Sir.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Puggy858:
Oh darn, thanks for your answer.

I just can't get this thing right.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Sczar:
Make sure %100 that your phone is 930F. If it is you use CF-root by chainfire I believe.

Google it. G930F root

XPOSED for Nougat

XPOSED for Nougat works on rooted S7E (using QH4). So does Gravity Box. Install the framework using the installer in the link; do not flash it directly.

I have a Verizon S7 Edge running SM-G935U, I flashed Nougat_S7_Edge_EngBoot.tar.md5 and now my device is stuck on boot logo. It's not responding at all either. I also forgot I didn't update my device to Nougat, so am I bricked? If so is there any possible fix for this?

EDIT: So I got back to download mode. What firmware version & type should I be running for this to work properly?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] cclem81:
1 important step!

Although I appreciate [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] hard work in this I feel there is a step that is worth metnioning...Before flashing the All Carriers Zip you need to flash the Eng Boot.img in odin after you flash the boot.tar.md. Otherwise when you go to root it will say something about error push service. Took me 4 hours to figure that out. Also people keep in mind powershell and cmd are different and need different commands when rooting. Thats it Happy rooting :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] kpirnie:
so... step 1 in the OP isnt enough???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] cclem81:
it is accept for the fact it says nothing about flashing the eng.boot file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] kpirnie:
really?

so Nougat_S7_Eng.Boot.tar.md5 isnt the dead giveaway there???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
Now how would you flash a zip or root without the engboot.img being flashed first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] cclem81:
I was merely stating that I went to directions did step 1 and then step 2 didn't know the zip in too half of thread needed to be done in sequence. it only reads flash in Odin not flash in Odin after u flash tar from step 1.

Ok, what would cause the loss of all signal. All data, text and calling?

I installed the two updates which went fine. Data and all worked. I flashed the 1st file in Odin, the phone restarted then I ran the root bat.

Phone rebooted then I had no data or anything.

What did I do wrong? Ideas?
[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] any ideas? Everything was working fine until I flashed the "S7edge_Qualcomm" file. That is when the network disappeared.

I did a wipe before the S7e file and then ran the root.bat, nothing, I did the wipe after the S7e file and it gets stuck at the activation screen with the spinning icon. I even ran the root.bat file while it was stuck in the activation screen, nothing.

Any other ideas?

Also, after the S7e file, Under System Status on the download screen it says custom. I dont if that matters

Hey Jrkruse,

Thank you for sacrificing your time to bring us root to the S7/S7e. I've kinda gotten into a pattern where before I get my next phone upgrade I check XDA to see which phone or phones Jrkruse has developed a root method for. I've been using my S5 for a long time now and I decided to get an S7 next.

I know you said one of the top reasons people root is to debloat and that is one of my 2 biggest reasons for wanting to root but I also want to install Xposed. There are a few modules I use all the time. Probably the most important one to me is Xprivacy. So I will not be able to root, debloat and back to stock will I? If I go back to stock can I still use xposed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
To be honest I have never tried xposed on my unrooted version but I don't think there is anyway it would ever work unless your rooted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] TRexombo:
Ok thank you. I guess I will just have to root and remain rooted and hope the lag is not too severe. Oh BTW, I read several posts where people had error messages popping up because the fingerprint sensor was deactivated and then you posted a fix for that.

I would actually like my fingerprint sensor to be deactivated but I would not want to keep dealing with a error message.

Any way to deactivate the sensor and disable the message too?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] cclem81:
