I have the same issue with my S7 that I thought was a hardware issue after having smashed it in the hood of my car. I tried different versions of Odin I was putting the AP, CP, CSC and BL. It would fail every time, the status bar would hardly move 3 cm. I could boot into download mode and recovery mode via download screen. After reading some return to stock information they were only entering AP, CP and CSC into Odin and for the first time the status bar made it all the way across and it actually booted. I had givin up on it for 6 to 7 months but I now have it working and extremely excited. The BL is still the U version that was previously flashed and the rest of them are now P version. The other thing I noticed in recovery mode was at the bottom it said DM-verify ERROR not failed but ERROR. Hope this helps!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
The problem he had was he tried to downgrade bootloaders. The fifth number from the right of your build number is your bootloader version. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the latest for everyone is 4, aside from Sprint which is 5? So make sure everyone you're flashing the right firmware.

I saw teamwin has a TWRP for Samsung Galaxy S7 (China Qualcomm) https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys7china.html Would this work on the T-mobile variant?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
No, we still have locked bootloaders

I just recently picked up a S7 EDGE SM-G935P with the latest firmware update G935PVPU5BQL1. Will this method work on mine or am I screwed? Been looking all over for a root method but coming up empty. One of the methods I tried was close but I kept getting random reboots that progressively got more frequent. To the point that I flashed back to stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Yes, this should work.

As a tip, id wait about 10 minutes after flashing eng boot and running root.bat before doing anything else, and log into Snapchat if you use it before everything
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Brianmagoon:
Thanks for the quick reply. I have it running right now but I'm really laggy. Gonna see if it will settle in or not. Fingers crossed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Not to be a downer, but probably not haha... Id recommend flashing stock and using the quickvic root.bat, link is in the op. Also, check these out :

I'm returning to stock. I downloaded the stock AT&T file which only has one CSC file. Will it wipe my phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Brianmagoon:
Yeah I am back stock now lol Lag was horrible and I lost hotspot, then I lost data trying to get it back bahahaha. I will try the quick vick and see if that changes anything. I'm thinking I'm having the hotspot problem because I switched to boost and the apn settings are different. I have my msl code but even in ##data# APN settings are still greyed out. :eek: I miss my S6 already.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] android_ace:
Can someone please tell me in detail how to do this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Download the file, and once downloaded open FlashFire.

Click the plus button and click add a zip or ota.

Then navigate to the file, and click on it. Then press the middle button out of the 3 that pop up. This is just mounting the system.

Click the checkmark and then scroll to the bottom and flash. Once rebooted it should be done.

If FlashFire crashes continuously when you open it, update it.

Hey guys, so I have a G930U tmobile s7 and having some issues rooting.

I was successful as far as installing the boot.tar (D7_Qualcomm) via Odin 3.12 PC but having problems getting the SuperSu 2.82 to install right.

Do I have to install any apks prior to executing this through CMD prompt? I get to the part where it asks if I want to Root w/o tweaks or with tweaks. Tried both but when I input the option and hit enter, the prompt ends and nothing happens to the phone. Thanks for any and all input.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Go to dev options and enable usb debugging. Tick oem unlock too, though I just do that as a precaution.

New S7 Arriving

My trusty rooted S5 has been smashed. A new S7 is arriving tomorrow. Not sure if it will have MM or Nougat on it. From reading this thread, I should want to have Nougat correct?

-d
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Chazmyth:
Already had USB debugging enabled and enabled OEM unlock but no change.

Although when I do hook my computer to my phone via USB it always prompts to allow or disallow data/media exchange (MTP). Could this be the reason the CMD step isn't working? How do I get it to allow MTP without confirmation?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Um not sure, maybe go down further in dev options and you should be able to choose, though I don't think it will stick. Id try another pc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] ThePicMan:
Wait, what? the SM-G930U doesn't require rooting to use things like Titanium or XPOSED?

Worked Great

Running Samsung Galaxy S7 baseband G30TUVS4BQJ2. So far so good. No lag for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] billa:
I meant that it doesn't require root since it already comes practically bloat free, and some people root the carrier branded one just to be able to de-bloat it.

But of course you can root it too. :)

There might be a specific app activity, which could be suppressed via the adb "hide" or "uninstall" commands, but someone has to find it using some package tracer/snooper.

To save a bunch of time and hassle, flashing it first with a full stock firmware (preferably with the unbranded "U" version) via Odin including the PIT file, virtually guarantees that the root script will go through on the first try. As soon as any customization has been done to the phone, problems may arise, therefore a full stock flash is highly recommended, especially for those who are doing it for the very first time.

Not specifically for you, but for anyone who's having problems connecting to ANY type of script, it's highly recommended to first type this at the command prompt where the adb.exe files are, to at least get an adb shell prompt:

adb shell

If it's just hanging, then make sure that Debugging is enabled under Settings > Developer Options and also try to toggling the "Charging" setting in the status bar of the phone to "MTP" or vise versa, till you get a "xxxx>$" shell prompt in the CMD window. Sometimes a simple cable unplug and replug works too, other times need to do a full reset on both the phone and pc.

Save your sanity, and run "adb shell" first, before trying to run the rooting script. :)

Also, in order to avoid those annoying boot-loops right after flashing the eng-boot, just run this script BEFORE and after flashing an eng-boot, in order to disable Samsung's Security+OTA. Some commands may show an error, which is fine since this is a generic script for many different models. I'd recommend running it again immediately AFTER the eng-boot flash just to be on the safe side. Must have ADB enabled, and to undo it simply do a factory reset or flash a full stock over it.

Samsung_Security+OTA_Disabler_(BillA_v2017-12-01).ZIP

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329068841

Unzip it and run this batch file which should be at top of the folder:

_Samsung_Security+OTA_Disabler_(BillA_v2017-12-01).BAT

By the way, does anyone happend to have an eng-boot (kernel image only flashable by Odin, not the root script!) for the G930(U non-edge) which is newer than Apr. 2017?

Can't seem to find a newer one, only for the G935(U) dated Aug. 2017 which runs a whole lot smoother than the April one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] ThePicMan:
Ok, that makes more sense. I figured I was hoping for too much :D I had assumed I would need to root it to pull my S5 backups from titanium and also to break the tether lock. Thank you for the assistance in locating the eng file. Hopefully someone has it

One can hope can't one? :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
Can you please give us a link to the eng-boot for the G935U dated Aug.2017? I have tried searching for that file, but for some reason none of my searches show anything except the ads. It would be most appreciated.

And thanks for your .bat file. I have never been able to get the G935U to run without Boot-Loops. Every time I try to odin the 935U files, after about 3 minutes it reboots constantly. End up having to go to the ATT Stock. Going to try to use your .bat file now, but would be really nice to have the Aug 2017 Eng-Boot file also.

Thanks again...

Hold up can you get me that August one!? I'm still on the January build :(

I was completely unaware that there were newer ones...

I'm on the edge btw (haha, made me laugh)

Worked like a charm. Used the .bat file like you said, before and after the ENG.IMG and everything is working just fine. Have not had one unwanted reboot since installing the image.

Again thanks for your post and the file you added.

I have a very specific question and I seriously hope it doesn't get ignored.

I'm trying to root my device to spoof on Pokemon Go. I understand all of the obvious things, (bootloader locked, no xposed, etc.....)

All I need to do, from what I'm understanding, is root my device, convert the spoofing app to a system app, then unroot. I've always rooted and unrooted all my android devices in the same manner, so this one is a bit new for me.

How can I unroot my device, without losing my converted system app? With my phone unrooted am I stuck with the given tmobile rom? How will that affect my current device? Is there anyway I can unroot my device using stock firmware for my phone and keep the converted system app?

Carrier: US Cellular

Model: G935R4

Baseband: G935R4TYU4BQK3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
Alright, let me see if I can help with what I have learned using this root method and what you are trying to do. First off, I have not tried this, the spoofing Pokemon Go that is, and in theory, I believe there is a way to do this.

And you are correct that our bootloader is locked but Xposed IS available for this version of root. But that's another topic.

What I would do if I was trying this would be to run the G935U version of the firmware. I believe it is available on your phone. Convert your phone to that version and then root the phone. Install your system spoofing app. Then unroot your phone using the HOME_CSC file in Odin (along with the AP, BL, and CP) instead of the regular CSC file. That way you would not lose any of your data and go back to an Unrooted phone.

As far as some of your other questions, there are a few ROMs available for this but I really haven't tried them. [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] has posted a few that work with this phone.

Hope this helps...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
This would not keep the spoofing app in system, it would remove it completely. I have not figured out how to completely unroot, however you dont need to root in order to install the app as a system app.

All you need to do is flash the eng boot and then run cmd. Make sure you have adb installed and you can mount system. Then push the apk to /system/app.

Then try to flash stock boot.img. if it doesnt boot just flash eng boot again and it will boot.

I can go into more detail if needed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] OrangeRanger:
Wow that sounds way easier and quicker than rooting. I've ever done anything like that before tbh. I assume this doesn't affect any of my user/system data then? Is there a tutorial I can follow, or steps I can follow for mounting system, and pushing the apk? Also will I have to alter the app permissions?

Also I'm downloaded the stock firmware, will this work G935R4TYU4BQE1 even though mine is G935R4TYU4BQK3 I don't know what the last 2 are for. I'm only asking cause SamMobile's free server is down for another day or 2, and other sites download the 2gb file at 100kb/s, the one I'm asking about is on Android FileHost downloading way faster lol..

Last dumb question, been 3 years since I've done anything like this. Which file is my stock boot.img? Is it my stock AP file?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] android_ace:
So I need to go back to stock. I've been rooted for several weeks now and the lag is horrendous and I keep getting FCs on my camera, gallery, and contacts. The OP says, just below the section to download the stock AT&T file, that there are two CSC files - one that wipes the phone and one that doesn't. When I unzip the AT&T file (G935AUCU4BQA6_Recovery.zip) I only see one CSC file. I just want to make sure I'm not missing something before I flash back to stock. Is the two CSC file option only for T-Mobile or some other carrier? Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
Not for sure if you are on ATT or not, but sounds like you are.

That being said, I have never been able to find a HOME_CSC for the ATT Stock files. If I need to go back to stock, I just reflash my phone with the latest Stock Files I can find and start all over. Not really a big deal as Google restores all my contacts, messages, and just about everything I need to get back to normal. Just the apps are not restored unless you let Google restore them. (which I usually don't)

And I would not use that G935AUCU4BQA6_Recovery.zip as it is over a year old. You can get the latest available Stock Files from here: https://xdaforums.com/att-s7-edge/how-to/g935a-odin-restore-files-g935aucu4bqk2-t3726659. Those are the BQK2 stock files and would only have to update to the BQL2 update via OTA. Better than doing many times.

And that BQK2 DOES NOT HAVE the HOME_CSC. You will have to use the CSC file to wipe your phone to get back to stock.

Hope this helps...

For anyone wondering what we did, we just flashed the eng boot and used adb to uninstall knox and push the app to /system/priv-app. Somehow beyond me, it passes saftenet haha. So he can still play pokemon go. But it was laggy, and i pushed the s7startup folder and ran it, and saftenet failed. We uninstalled those and it sill failed. So he flashed stock. Says he's gonna try again with just the system app soon
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Also, since I don't think the guy is going to; Could you guys check to see what kernel date you have in about device. If you have higher than January could you share? If you followed this guide you probably have January as well.

after unrooting, how would I go about reflashing ONLY original boot.img?

I do not want to reflash the system as I heavily debloated it. After running unroot.bat, phone is no longer rooted and snapchat (most common safetynet app on phone) logs in fine, I just can't with the lag.

I try in odin and phone will not boot. If i reflash ENG boot img it will boot right back up, but with lag :/

A bit of a problem... Please Help?!

Ok needless to say this was my first time attempting to root a phone period... and I dont think I researched enough. I just got a SM-G930P UD (From Boost Mobile) yesterday and attempted to root it with https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/how-to/how-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039 . But before I did anything everything updated on the phone and I didnt realise it could cause a problem. Did what the post said to the letter and got the boot loop. Saw this thread and started reading and doing what I thought I needed to fix my new phone. (I followed the steps to a T as far as I know to do the following) I used the ENG (AP) file and my phone started up then I flashed to what i assume is stock firmware and phone restarted. Great all fixed I thought... no dice. So i started to go a bit further and used the SuperSU 2.79 (as I couldnt really understand the post from jrkruse that you suggested on what needed to be done). Phone restarts with a unlocked padlock that says "Custom" so I thought all was good again. Well now I am constantly getting a nag notification from "Samsung DM Service" saying "Checking Device Status..." and it will not go away. Along with something eating my batter life like no tomorrow. The only apps on my phone are stock ones. No personal and .. and for some reason no SU either. I am so lost right now and hoping that i didnt just burn $400 just to have to do it again. If anyone can be of any help or ideas it would be GREATLY and completely appreciated!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
That root.bat file that you used is over a year old. Sounds like you have the ENG.IMG installed but just need to get the correct root.bat. Try using this one: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bygh6W_e2Fo5Vkk1bURVaHdKbzg/view

It contains the latest version of SU (V 2.82) and will get rid of the "Samsung DM Service" Nag. And don't worry you haven't done anything to your phone. Sounds like it is completely fixable.

Hope this helps...

EDIT: I just checked your link and that procedure is for Marshmallow and this is for Nogat. Are you on MM or N?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] BPW0705:
First wanna say THANKS for the quick response! But...Well just attempted it and it started fine then after a min I hit "adb reboot. error: device '(null)' not found"...

*Edit* Android 7.0 Nogat.... and now is telling me my phone number is 000-000-#### (the # are actual numbers not the symbol)

Yeah realized that I messed that part up about the firmware after i had already updated to Nougat and I didnt know it or just didnt realize and still went on with the process and this is where I am. Should I try and find a stock firmware again? the ones I found didnt work. This is all very disappointing and disheartening. my friend rooted my S6edge for me and it only took him a few mins a couple years ago and there was no probs. Only issue now is he lives out of country and I cant get a hold of him. Right now I am at the point i kinda wanna reflash to stock and just use my phone =p

I believe that my stock firmware should be here at https://sammobile<dot>com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930P/BST/ as G930PSPT5BQL1 or BQK1 But I am not 100% sure as any other ones I have found are for AUS for Boost Mobile and I am from the USA.

It also seems like even if I try and flash to stock it does not remove root or any of the issues I am having.

*EDIT* just looked at the Boost Mobile Site and they are saying that the newest update for the S7 for them is from Feb/22/17 and the version is G930PVPU4BQAA? If I flashed it to something that was released in Dec thinking that it was the stock firmware.... could that be my issue? and should I find the BQAA firmware to try and flash that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
Alright, I would say to get the firmware from Sammobile and go from there. Get the BQL1 version as that is the latest one. If you get the BQK1, it will update to the BQL1 anyway. And make sure you are getting the right one.

Good Luck...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] BPW0705:
sad part

Thanks. Added a bit more info in my last post so if you could check that out and give me your opinion? Am currently DLing BLQ1.. its only gonna take 15 hours at 15k/b HAHA! Oh well for now off to work. Just hope its done when I get home. Will check back here and update when all is done.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
That's your best bet. I know a lot of the web sites for phones don't usually keep up to date. Just make you get the one that say BST. That should be for Boost.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] BPW0705:
Ok just got home and quick question. If I am trying to return it to as stock as possible for now so I can just get it in working condition. Should I install all the files (AP, CL, BP, and CSC)? Or should I just stick with the AP or the CSC? Though the CSC is named differently... called CSC_SPT not CSC_TMB like OP. Sorry if any of this is confusing...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
Whenever I return to stock I always run all 4 tar files, AP, BL, CP, and CSC. It sounds like Boost Mobile is on the Sprint Network like Cricket is on the ATT network. As far as I know, the CSC_SPT is for the Sprint network and the CSC_TMB was for T-Mobile. The actual CSC files are the Customer Sales Codes and help define how your phone will act or perform on the Main Network of your carrier.

I would say to use all 4 of the files to at least get it working agian.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] BPW0705:
Thank you!

Thank you freeop for helping me getting my phone back to working order. havent been able to update till now but the phone is back in working order.
