hey Craz Basics, is this the same file its always been bc I downloaded it a couple months ago and was seeing if this was different since I see 2 more files then mine
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Levi4cyber:
Ok I rerooted it again with the newer version, and the finger print works well,

BUT.... The phone in general works very slow unlocking it takes a few seconds (like immediatly after turning on) and it takes a while too open any app and to get to the main screen.....!

Oh and the battery is actually draining faster then before (one of the reasons I rooted)!!!!!

[That's all after removing bloatware and wiping the cache]

What should I do????????

Any advice?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Not sure which one you downloaded lol. The difference between the two I know of is one has the push_system folder and the other one does not. The push system folder has the fingerprint fix.

Lag is to be expected, sadly. It's an engineering boot.img. If you have time, flash stock and reroot, but let it sit for a good 30 minutes after flashing eng. Then try flashing this: https://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/themes/mod-bette3r-battery-performance-kernel-t3706089/page13

As for battery, that should improve after letting it sit after you flash eng as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Soldier_Rocks_08:
Did you use the method from the first post?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
Yes pretty much. I used the eng.img from the first post and then used the Quickvic-Craz_root.bat. Worked just fine and no problems. Just make sure you let it sit for as long as possible (1 hour) after rooting. Let it settle.

Good luck.

Build number/Security Patch?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Levi4cyber:
I flashed the stock rom (nougat 7.0) mentioned in the first post with Odin but since the phone rebooted I already received 9 software updates from the mobile!!

Every time the software update finished and and the phone reboots the phone Is connecting to the server and automatically downloading another software update !

(I already downloaded and installed 9 updates ranging between 32 - 336 mb).

IS THIS NORMAL? OR SHOULD I FLASH A DIFFERENT ROM?

Thanks for the info. How's the battery life on BRC1?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
Not bad at all. I can get around 24 hours on a full charge and that is with normal use all day. Phone calls, texting, navigating, email, etc. About the same as I was getting before. Pleased with the performance and battery with this update/root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] molokaidiver:
I'm interested in this as well. Just flashed to this firmware and haven't gotten the ENG boot image to flash properly. It'll flash but after booting to the home screen, it'll reboot a few seconds later.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] devinalonzo:
Can't remember what build I was on but I had the December 1st security update. Updated to BRC1 with the March 1st security updates. The install went smooth for the most part. Used odin patched version to brc1. But the patched version failed to install the eng kernel so used the original for that. Performance seems better compared to past rooted builds. Samsung account keeps logging out? I feel like this happened on a past rooted build but I can't remember how I fixed it and haven't had time to read the comments here to see if someone has a solution. Will report back on issues/battery life/performance/etc.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] m4xhp0w3r:
Has anyone tried updating to BRC1 excluding the AP file and using the home csc? I know I can update and then reroot flashing the original engineering boot tar (as stated above) but I'm feeling lazy heh.

I've flashed my phone probably ten different times in the last couple of days and don't want to go through the trouble of setting things back up. It took me a while to get to the combo of files and firmware to a point where it was stable and not dropping root or getting the binary is occupied issue.

Actually, eff it :laugh:. I'll try to upgrade and report what happens. If it gets stuck on the Samsung boot screen (like I think it will), I'll have to do it again anyway.

Also, thanks to all who've contributed to this thread. Until a couple of days ago, it had been many moons since I flashed the last custom rom on my T-Moblie G1.

---------- Post added at 02:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 AM ----------

I had roughly the same problem after flashing the current no carrier G935UUEU4BRD1 BL, AP, and CSC firmware files and the T-Mobile modem CP file. Got stuck on the Samsung boot screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] m4xhp0w3r:
edit: So I got it to root on BRD1 with the AP left out and a Home CSC file and it was pretty stable for about 2 hours. And then it rebooted on its own and got stuck at the samsung boot screen and eventually lost all its battery life and turned off.

But then I happened upon

https://xdaforums.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/5-12-17-stable-method-g935u-bqd2-quick-t3605516

And it seemed to worked for BRD1.

Thanks to [MENTION=7402674]qwewqa[/MENTION] for finding it and [MENTION=7653159]purotijuana[/MENTION] for doing the steps.

I started from a fresh install of all the SM-G935U BRD1 non-carrier using the T-Mobile CP file instead of the non-carrier version (from https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935U/) and let it sit for an hour to settle.

Bought the Package Disabler Pro and wiped data/disabled the Chameleon package. It is com.samsung.sprint.chameleon but it showed as 'Chameleon' in the list. So search for that instead of the actual package.

Did a wipe of cache (have to leave system to keep the package disabled), then flashed the engineering boot and got it to reboot, and then let it sit again for a bit. I was able to use the Samsung_G935_QC_Eng_Boot_Root_v2017-08-29.TAR with no problems this time.

Then I ran the Samsung_Security+OTA_Disabler_(BillA_v2018-01-01).BAT from [MENTION=293193]billa[/MENTION] (thanks!) and then Samsung_G93x_QC_CF-SU_v2.82_2018-02-01_SSU+MGK.BAT from [MENTION=1168000]jkruse[/MENTION] (thanks!) with the fingerprint fix and a CPU governor tweek, and then the SU (since Magisk doesn't work with the locked bootloader).

File links for the engineering bootloader and the security and root bats are at https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75418504&postcount=2527 along with [MENTION=293193]billa[/MENTION]'s steps.

Then wiped cache again.

Everything looks good so far. its been sitting for a couple hours with no reboots.

I'm not sure how stable it is or what the battery life looks like. Its 2:30 am and I need to sleep now. I'll post another edit tomorrow.

Second edit: root is stable so far. I shut the phone off overnight so I could watch it.

No reboots in the last 6 hours.

Root is staying rooted.

Phone has zero lag so far. This BRD1 firmware is excellent.

Battery life is pretty good. It's dropping about 3% per hour with CPU governor set to on demand. I played around with the other governor settings and none made any difference.

Over all I'm very pleased.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
It's Knox making it reboot, run the root.bat asap after flashing eng to remove it ;)

And that camelion app should be removed as well with the root.bat
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] billa:
Buying and using Package Disabler Pro is complete waste of time and money, since I have already posted a completely free and much better security disabler / un-branding solution. Seem like people don't search and read anymore... oh well... :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] m4xhp0w3r:
I read that the security script looked for the chameleon file. But it didn't find it. There were a bunch of entries in the security script that didn't find their target.

After going through the new firmware to debloat, it looked like they had removed a bunch of stuff from the non-carrier ROM. I only froze maybe a dozen entries and half of them were Facebook.

But yeah. The app seemed silly the next day. It was almost 2am when I bought it. And I work a 9-5 job. I was at that tired point when convenience outweighs all logic hah. I believe I would have bought a bridge at the time if it got me closer to sleeping. Definitely a bunch of silly paid apps. I almost bought a keyboard app too, but something distracted me and I forgot to hit the confirm button lol.

One thing for sure is, your work was most of what got me through the process. So thank you again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] austinu90:
rooted att s7 w/ xposed installed but no bluetooth?

So i was able to do everything in the list except; find the settings.db and figure out the vo/lte fix, and bluetooth isn't working at all. Any one have any ideas how to help a scrub like me:silly::confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] m4xhp0w3r:
Bluetooth is working for me and lte still works. I think it's just the icon that's different. I didn't bother with that fix.

I'd just give it another go. Make sure you're wiping data/cache/dalvik before and letting the phone sit an hour after flashing the oem and engineering kernel. Maybe try freezing the security/Knox and chameleon before the engineering kernel flash (and making sure it's still frozen before root). I did it after. I'm not sure it matters, but it's something to try. Maybe try the oem t-mobile cp file instead of the one in the no carrier oem zip if you haven't.

It's really a multi hour process and it might take a few tries to get it where you want it. I haven't found anything on my phone that isn't working. The phone is very stable. It hasn't randomly rebooted once. I haven't had to restart the phone since the day I rooted. Battery life is good. It's really a great setup once it gets flashed and rooted to the intended state.

If you're worried about bricking, I wouldn't. There's "always the chance" I suppose. I don't know how from this process tho. The one benefit of having a locked bootloader is you'll always be able to boot into download mode and flash the oem rom to recover. So don't be afraid to try it again. And again if you need to. I had to do the process several times before I got it where I wanted it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] billa:
As it was described originally, it's a generic script to cover multiple makes and models, therefore it's perfectly normal for some commands to fail, yet it works just fine. ;)

Step 3 in the original post:

Next, in order to avoid the annoying boot-loop issue, run this script before flashing the eng-boot 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.

Turn on ADB-Debug and OEM-Unlock in the Developer Options menu in order to avoid being locked out later on (search for it if you need help).

Unzip it and run the _Samsung_Security+OTA_Disabler_(BillA_v2018-01-01).BAT file which should be at top of the folder.

Same. I was going to get a G930V. I am still unclear if I can have root. I canceled the order. I will wait to hear if I can root it or not. Otherwise I will just keep my S5.

---------- Post added 13th June 2018 at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was 12th June 2018 at 11:36 PM ----------

I decided since it is too much work I will be keeping my S5 for now. It is so much hassle to try to root and concerned about locked bootloaders and unsure what's going on - I spent a whole day wasted today just learning, then purchased but then canceled and refunded after I read another thread implying it is difficult or maybe impossible.

The benefits of a slightly faster phone with a little more RAM and a little better camera which I rarely use, is not worth the excessive hassle and week lost in researching ways to get stuff to work all because ****ing verzon decided to lock their bootloader. So I will be keeping my old S5 and by the way disabled everything for verizon trying to update, so they simply lost my business by me not buying a new phone (The one I canceled I actually bought from Verizon but then canceled it. Not the first time I canceled a purchase after realizing locked bootloader). Maybe in 1 to 2 years it will be an easy root or they unlocked the bootlolader, then I will buy an S7. Plus, then price will be lower.

Samsung lost millions of dollars with people who refuse to shell out hundreds of dollars for a device that isn't *really* theirs since it is in the control of whoever locked the bootloader.

How many more years will they be so stupid to continue losing money by locking bootloaders. In fact, I am considering leaving Verizon just to get root on a newer device more easily. **** Verizon.

I never want to update maybe I will keep my S5 for 5 or 10 more years all because I don't want to lose root functionality or waste my time trying to bypass locked bootloaders.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jshamlet:
I hate to break it to you, but in the US locked bootloaders are now the standard, and have been for years. About the only phones left that can be trivially unlocked are the Pixels, and you can't buy them at carrier stores (funny that...) If you are that hard core about unlocking the bootloader, your best bet is to import a phone from overseas, but that will necessarily mean you will have to switch to AT&T or T-Mobile. Even if you could get a CDMA capable device, Verizon and Sprint won't bless the ESN.

Rooting failed

Yo, I have the SM-G935U. When I finally root it, the phone restarts every 1 minute or so for ever, then I have to flash a stock firmware onto the phone as it won't stop restarting. It starts to get really hot. On the back of the phone it says SM-G935T however on the phone it says SM-G935U. I'm not sure if that would make a difference. But I'm really confused. What do I do?

Thank You--Akira.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Try another root.bat. Maybe the one you're using isn't removing Knox, which would cause constant reboots.

Oh okay thanks mate. I've rooted my s4 and put a custom Rom pretty easily so I'm not completely clueless haha. Could you tell me each individual file I need for this to work.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Just flash the eng boot in Odin and as soon as it boots up run the root.bat. After it boots up again let it sit their for a good 30 minutes; These eng boots are laggy so this helps for some reason. Then precede to go through setup, ect.

Oh thanks. Also, do I have to factory reset my phone before doing this. As when I tried it a few weeks ago, I didn't factory reset. Wasn't sure if that would make a difference. So, flash eng boot first. Wait until boot up, flash root.bat in Cmd? Then wait a bunch of time before use? Is that it? Thank You--Akira.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] AkiraPerera04:
Dude, I tried your file, it still constantly reboots like the other one. Also, when I load the root file. I just navigate and open the root file manually as I cant open it through cmd. This just doesn't work as well. I'm confused and annoyed now. What shall I do?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] AkiraPerera04:
Well, this did the exact thing as the other ones. It constantly reboots. When I quickly check on root checker. It says root failed. Also. I spent like 3 hours doing this. I found that after I flash the eng boot it starts rebooting constantly. So its not the root file thats causing this. What can I do. I knew this wouldn't work. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Edit the root.bat
