I tried this exact method on an unlocked (although originally running sprint) s7 edge. I installed and unzipped Odin along with the necessary Root and Unroot zip file, and the ENG as well. My device went through all the steps that the instructions told me, has the custom boot icon (with the unlock icon) on the Galaxy s7 edge screen when I boot. It seems as if 99% of the process worked, but Supersu wasn't installed and when I installed rootchecker to check my root status, it said it wasn't rooted.

I am currently dealing with my device booting normally, staying on for a few minutes and performing normally, then restarting. Can anyone help me fix this?

Could you guys email Samsung and ask to unlock the bootloader

https://contactus.samsung.com/customer/contactus/formmail/mail/MailQuestionProduct.jsp?SITE_ID=1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] :
It's been a year and a half, and there have been those who emailed them, there are people who contacted support and asked for it, and there have been those who even contacted mobile executives (I believe the CEO of T-Mobile said they'd look into it a year or so ago) to ask for an unlock. It's not happening, at least officially anyway. We'd need something like the DirtySanta bootloader unlock like the LG V20 for our devices. It's better to just leave the support staff alone and not request bootloader unlocks from them, as the only way an official unlock is coming is from the higher-ups in the community.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Ah I hate this
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] :
The situation sucks, yeah. Without TWRP, Samsung and our carriers are free to screw us over and cripple our phone's performance over time. With our bootloaders unlocked we'd probably have several 7.1.2 roms on our devices, but Samsung feels last year's flagship only deserves 7.0.

Hi guys l I have a bit of a project in working on, I took jrkruses root.bat and edited it to include titanium backup,lspeed,greenify,kernel aduitor and the dual speaker mod I still give full credit to jrkruse by making this root install in the first place but I just added a couple of things. It's not complete yet, bit I'm just making an announcement that I'm accepting any testers and or people who want things to be added and I hope to get this released by Monday but it may be finished sooner but it will mainly be a beta test I know I'm literally just editing an existing file and that's it but I'm gonna try to make this the best it can be also maybe I can bake the lspeed and kernel auditor settings in the files themselves and have everything work out
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] barndawg76:

Ok you're on the list, im gonna try to fix some things like when going to root it just skips the fingerprint fix and Knox removal so once I get that ironed out we should be able to do modifications
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
If you do the Lspeed settings, I found a great configuration. Gets rid if almost all lag (occasionally its laggy when you turn it on when its been on idle) and it has really good battery. Kernel aduitor needs to have cpu governors set to interactive. Let me know if you want the backup file.

I went through all the steps and only thing that stops me is the permission it won't let me change it for some reason
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] :
You need to have BusyBox installed for you to be able to change permissions.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] :
Uninstall Root Browser. Reboot. Install Root Browser, and make sure they download and install the utilities. Make sure you have BusyBox installed (not just the app).

Just tried that. Not sure what you mean by utilities by busy box is installed and I installed root browser rebooted my phone and installed it again and it didn't work
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] :
Root Browser usually asks to install some utilities when it is first installed. Also, not sure why it's not working for you as it's worked for me on the sprint, u and att firmware. Haven't tested T-Mobile yet. I'll let you know if I figure it out.

So apparently Im doing something wrong. Odin working fine(or seems to), reboots shows the unlocked boot up screen, but when I go to run rootbat it appears to run then instantly closes on my pc, and I never get root on the device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jruka:
Sounds like you either didn't authorize computer to phone adb or your path for adb is not correct. Adb path should be c/"adb folder" it can't be longer than that. And your windows login can't have spaces either. So if your login is something like " firstname[space]lastname" it won't work. So when all is good you should be able to -shift+righclick- open command prompt here in adb folder and then type adb devices you should get a 8 digit number. Been awhile since I did it so I would verify my spotty memory .......

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] 93starletgt:
Sell it. The G935T will never be perfect using this method (and unfortunately this is the only method available). Get a G935F, G935FD or G935W8. They have unlocked bootloaders and you can install TWRP, root properly and try non touchwiz roms. That's what I did and I couldn't be happier.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Mugetzsu:
Is it worth it? Can you install every custom roms like any other exynos variants have? I might switch to that too if it's worth it.

Fix Bluetooth

After searching for a Bluetooth fix, I can confirm this works so glad to have found this!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Would anyone be willing to test this for me? I replaced the "boot.IMG-ZIMAGE-file" in the ENG bootloader with the one that is in the stock one, hopefully making this as stable as stock, and we can root. This I'm hoping will give is the same performance, so no more lag. Anyone who has this (the s7 edge) that doesn't use it as a daily driver for example, and wouldn't be too sad if it bricked, would you mind checking this out?

"dm_verity_signature_checker" is still not in this boot.img, so I believe this should still have write protection off.

Thanks :)

Hi i noticed that there is a fix for the sprint issue but i was wondering how to fix the boost mobile issue. I was able to change the Sprint to Boost for the

ro.cdma.default_alpha=Chameleon to Boost

and keeping the other value as 310000 this let me have 3G but i am still unable to get 4G and if i try the network recovery they have ##72786# it removes 3G from the device all together. Is there a fix for this?

Quickvic30's root.bat package has the old Super SU, I believe. It is not updated to SuperSU 2.82.

Also, it is not clear how it is different from jrkruse's root.bat.

Perhaps they could clarify?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
At the present time, I am running the root.bat from post #688. In that zip is a root.bat that [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] originally created. [MENTION=5149713]Quickvic30[/MENTION] added a couple of tweeks and posted it in #688. If your read further down in the thread, you will see what both [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5149713]Quickvic30[/MENTION] had to say.

And yes that root.bat has version 2.79 of SuperSU. When jrkruse cleaned up and fixed the problem with SuperSU v.2.82 causing all the phones to loose root upon updating, I tried that version of the root.bat, but for some reason, my phone didn't take that root.bat as well as the one in #688 with SuperSU 2.79. So I have stuck with the eng.img in the original post along with the root.bat in #688 and my phone has been running root with no lag and great battery times.

I have tried going to the Uversion of the G935 and using both root.bats, but I could never get as good performance as with anything but eng.img and SuperSU 2.79 root.bat. So that is why I have stuck with that combination for the last few months.

And as others have mentioned in the past, each phone may be a little different and the eng.img and root.bat may work differently on each phone. So it may work great for me, but someone else might get different results.

For what it's worth, I flashed 930U BQD2 over 930A BQE1. I took the OTA update which has me at 930U BQE2. Then flashed the eng kernel and the new 2.82 SU. I'm running great at the moment. I did the same thing while I had AT&T BQE1 firmware and ran like crap. Go figure. Only issues I have is there is no enhanced LTE running U and Samsung pass won't work. I'm sure there is a way around that, but I haven't had time to fool with it. I've briefly read about enhanced LTE issue, but where I'm at, it's not that big of a problem.

Quick question (and apologies if this was already mentioned in the thread) but I flashed the eng to achieve root for Nougat on the Verizon S7 (non-Edge) and did so successfully.

However, my wifi calling is not working at this point after rooting

One other bit of background is that I originally had a bootloop after flashing the first time, reinstalled stock firmware, rooted, had the IMS messaging failure, reflashed stock firmware (did not flash the home.tar piece though), and rerooted.

Everything is running very smoothly at this point, outside of Wifi calling. Any potential fixes here or did I make a mistake not flashing the home.tar component after the IMS failure?

I just got up (working nights), turned on phone and it is, at the moment, completely lag free, as best I can tell.

I whacked my weather widget, I am curious to see what the battery life is like. Still running ondemand. The setting stuck the very first time I did it, no monkeying needed.

Unrelated, I am struggling with the UI. Coming from AOKP KK to TW N is not easy. Things I miss most: Long press back button to kill app. I used that ALL THE TIME. Also missing a permanent navbar that is not sitting on top of the screen but 'below' the screen. Same deal for a menu button that is not floating on the screen.

But overall it ran well yesterday. Off the charger at 1830, back on at 0300, reading almost 20%. Moderate usage, including the weather widget (8% pts./hr???).
