best I can say is try.

Just make sure you have an Odin flashable firmware package for your device in case you soft brick.

i have a 935VC which is the Xfinity packaged verizon phone... and although I cant run verizon specific firmware, this root method works for me.

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

just report back if it works or not. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jtl_777:
Any chance for a hard brick? Don't want to risk that. I also read the U firmware can be snappier when it comes to the Eng Boot. I assume that doesn't come with any of the Verizon apps, not that I use any of them besides "My Verizon". Would I be better off flashing U firmware and then rooting? I tend to get frustrated when my phone freezes to the point where I want to throw it on the ground and Hulk smash it. So best to get the smoothest experience possible for me haha. I want to run Xposed so that's really the only reason I need root. Thanks all.

Edit: What is this Magisk app I keep seeing? Viable root method?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] kpirnie:
I get pretty decent on the VC... rooted stock :)

I don't use Xposed anymore though, so that may change things.

Hard Brick? Not sure, I'm sure it's always a posibility when it comes to flashing stuff to our phones though :)

---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

Wait a minute... wait wait wait. WAIT! So you're telling me all that has to be done on these phones is to install the Engineering Kernel, run the root.bat and that removes the users passwords and fingerprints from the device????? WTF!!!! Where's the security? I mean I know rooting is granting full root access but this is the first time I've seen my password and fingerprints removed from a device completely while leaving my data in tact. What if I had a fully encrypted file system? This is cool and scary and it concerns me. Here I was sitting thinking my phone was safe with a decent pattern and fingerprint unlock and turns out all my data can be accessed within 10 minutes of fiddling. smh fml
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jtl_777:
Rooted fine. Noticeable lag after. Managed to get all of 5 minutes of use out of it before soft bricking. Downloaded the Xposed Installer app and let it do it's thing and then the phone rebooted and wouldn't get passed the verizon boot screen. Resetting now and going to bed lol. Is there a special phrase or incantation I need to say right before I install Xposed to get it to work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] kpirnie:
not sure about xposed mate.

i wont use it on mine (dont really have a need for it)

i remember back on my s4 there was a special version that [MENTION=3562083]wanam[/MENTION] put out... not sure if it holds true for the s7 v tho so may want to search around.

i had pretty decent lag on reboots as well... just make sure to select interactive and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before using it... much better ;)

theres also tweaks around that help too (i posted mine a page or 2 back)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jtl_777:
Great! I bricked again trying a different Xposed method. Probably need a special version. And Interactive is better than OnDemand for performance? I selected OnDemand when I ran the root.bat and I still had some good lag lol. I'll see if I can find your tips and tricks for setup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jtl_777:
First time I tried installing Xposed I just used the installer you referenced. Phone wouldn't boot past Verizon screen. Second time I tried flashing the firmware with flashfire. Same result. How exactly did you get this to work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] peskyheart:
So, quick disclaimer: I haven't rooted yet, but definitely plan to (hopefully with Xposed!)

If you go to the OP of this thread (https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/how-to/how-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039), it has links to the special version of Xposed that Wanam did. But don't follow the root method, as it is for MM.

Once I root and install Xposed, I'll check back in.

Does anyone have a link where I can download the odin-flashable firmware for G935VVRU4BQK2?

As I understand it, because my phone is rooted, I can't take the OTA update without first flashing it back to stock in Odin. I might as well flash it to QK2, instead of flashing it to whatever older version I have, then taking the OTA, then re-rooting.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] ipetloudog:
Do you need to unlock the bootloader and flash back to stock before using this method or does the tar automatically skip those steps now? Sorry if it's a dumb question I've used Odin countless times but haven't since my note 2.

Network gone?

Hello everyone. Thanks to OP for this guide, worked like a charm until I noticed this morning that my phone isn't on the Sprint network any longer. I tried to activate it again (thinking that might be a normal step in rooting, apparently not) and the phone says that the 800 number isn't available from my calling area. Is there any way to get myself back on the network? I tried the return to stock steps but my phone will no longer connect to my computer so Odin can't see it to flash the stock ROM back. Any help would be apprectiated!

Hi All,

I have read this thread in its entity. And from what I can tell, the lag that would result from rooting my Verizon s7 edge phone would be too severe for my liking.

My phone info:

Model Sm-G935V

Baseband Version G935VVRU4BZH4

Build Number NRD90M.G935VVRU4BQH4

However, the U Firmware is supposedly a bit faster.

So, logically, I would be better off flashing U Firmware for better performance issues before rooting. So, I am downloading via this link:

https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=6C1CF24962A011E7963AFA163EE8F90B

Will I be able to flash this firmware to my device? Any chance of soft bricking? And then, can I follow this thread from the opening page for a successful root procedure?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Wimmer4Archery:
To those are in the know,

Would only be able to follow this guide to flash the U firmware on my Verizon device?

And then root after that?

my device ahead of time...

I hated how my S7 Edge G935V worked with the engboot. So I stopped using the phone. Figured I'd play around with again and flashed the G935U firmware. After that I rooted by flashing the engboot thinking it may be smoother than on the g935v firmware. Obviously, I was disappointed.

When I flashed the BL file I checked "phone bootloader update" on Odin.

I just had a aha moment, reading this reminded me that when I purchase my S7 flat from eBay, I asked the seller about rooting and he said go ahead if I wanted but the way he said it kind of sounded like it wasn't a good idea. When the phone was reooted it already had an unlocked lock on one of the boot screens and this phone that I purchased on eBay was supposed to be unlocked for any carrier. It has been a while since I have rooted a phone so I was asking around trying to figure out how to do it and I lose my unlocked for all carriers get much information but what I do remember is looking in phone info for Samsung and looking at the firmware versions they weee not all the same, they normally have the same ending but one of mine was different and I need to go back and look at my screenshots that I have later tonight and post back. The seller may have already known how to prevent lag by doing this.
