Actually earlier I had some guy flash the eng boot for nougat (this thread) because i thought they were the same too.... and it bootlooped.... then I had him flash this one for marshmallow and it booted fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
Yes, I tried after it first came out, but I had much better luck with the one you just installed from [MENTION=5149713]Quickvic30[/MENTION].

For some reason with that one my phone got laggy and my battery did not perform like it had with the 2.79 version.

It isn't the SuperSU, but the script that installs with the root.bat. And as many have reported it really depends on each phone. I have just been very lucky, I believe, with the 2.79 root.bat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] c-prodigo:
well I have to say that its very close to stock, so I haven't yet regret rooting again, but it its actually almost no lag at all.

Folks, keep in mind that the first Eng-Boot which came out last year (2016) will only work on MM, while the newer one which came out this year (2017) will only work on Nougat, therefore you cannot mix them, except for the Root.bat. Here's a clean copy of all the files.

Root.bat with SuperSU v2.82

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=961840155545581932

For me Root.bat with SuperSU v2.82 without ANY tweaks at all works great, and I think the key point to remember is to let the phone settle down without touching it for and hour or so after flashing the Eng-Boot. YMMV.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Snarksneeze:
Following the instructions I successfully patched my S7 (G930a) with the ENG (AP) Kernel. When I ran the batch file after I kept running into write errors, so I manually set system to rw via ADB and was able to push install SuperSU which told me I did not have root. Via ADB I was able to obtain root but not via the mounted system. I removed KNOX manually but that did not help.

I tried a couple of other kernels but none would boot so I'm back to the Engineer Kernel.

I am having some problems with the phone as it is, fingerprint scanner just simply won't load. This sucks because I drive for Uber and when my phone is locked I have trouble getting the PIN in fast enough, which costs me money. But I'm willing to work with that (must have some sort of security in place for Android Pay to work). But tonight I tried to send my wife a picture and it's telling me that my MMS size limit is 0kb. Obviously that is not going to work.

I am looking to either fix my two problems or get back to stock. Anyone out there who can help me?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] billa:
Hate to disappoint you, but as soon as you load the Eng-Boot, that will break Android-Pay, Fingerprint, and S-Health.

I believe the OP has laid out all these limitations quite nicely, with that being said there are some funky ways to fix it but it's not easy and hardly permanent.

Keep an open mind about this Eng-Boot-Root solution, it's not for everyone, but for tinkerers like myself it's great.

I can do just fine with those limitations, as I much rather have root then those features.

But hey, to each it's own, as they say...

Just kidding, I would have done it too!! ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] c-prodigo:
I know, can't stop trying to find a way to make it better, but by just rooted I really meant to say that not running any other mods, that seems to be better that way, just follow procedure from quickvic30 and let it settle down, and its almost like stock, I really rooted again yesterday, but only for the third time, just the two first time I used the other root.bat
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
I can't use quickvic's with latest security patch, but 2.82 runs way better on it then it does on earlier builds.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] c-prodigo:
on att latest, worked with no problems
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] billa:
I'm glad it worked to your expectations...

Can't stress it enough how important it is to let it settle after flashing the Eng-Boot with no tweaks selected when running the Root.bat

I let go for an hour or so without touching the screen, and as c-prodigo noted, it provides your the closest experience to stock performance (but of course YMMV).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
So let's say I flash stock, and go through the setup. As soon as it shows me the desktop for the first time, I go to flash eng boot... do I let it settle at this point it wait until after I root?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] FtaWolf:
Have no idea.

Try running root.bat again see if that helps..

But I'm rooted here with QG1 on S7 Active..

I've noticed that too. Also I never let mine settle and it runs pretty well. Next time I bootloop it (bound to happen lmao) I'll try it out and see if it's better.

With home csc you won't lose data
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] billa:
Always start out with the phone freshly flashed to pure stock.

You would let it settle for a while right AFTER you flashed the Eng-Boot kernel.

Personally I let it sit there for about an hours, and only after that run the Root.bat

During this time don't touch it at all, I know it's hard but gotta let it just sit there.

You can tell it's much better because the phone runs cooler.

Also, it's not a bad idea to set the power management to Optimized under device management.

For some reason it has jumped to Performance after I flashed the Eng-Boot, maybe it's just me...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Boomhauer79cj:
here's a mixed question regarding root and logcats. maybe wrong thread i do not know. att pushed something i do not know what thru to one of my devices. now i have more than one but only one on they network. anyway whatever it was it has effectively taken all the greyed options and reenabled them viusally. actually pushing them still does nothing. at the same time they revoked all the system permisions and those can not be reinstated. this makes anything ota impossible not remote support no nothing. it is a completely unmolested device and when sat next to same device it is undeniable something has been done yet they say they did not. even att techs at the lower end cant figure it out.

im needing to see if i can capture a logcat from the device showing something was done by whoever. can i root only to capture a logcat or do i use adb to do it with the unrooted device?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Krog18:
Sounds like you're running the eng kernel, but the su binaries and/or the su apk aren't installed. Download and extract to your computer the Nougat_S7_Root_2_82_All_Carriers_V1.zip from the OP, connect your booted phone and double click root.bat. Follow the prompts and when it's finished, you should have root.

thanks i fixed it by my self like 5 minutes before u reply but how do i fix this insane lag
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
Go into the supersu app, it should ask you to remove Knox? Select yes if it asks you, if it doesn't then run the root.bat again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] c-prodigo:
reboot, and dont touch it for like 10 minutes, then check if there is still lag

Couple of things I've been working on:

I've updated [MENTION=5149713]Quickvic30[/MENTION] 's root.bat from 2.79 to 2.82. Also, I've made it so it will work on the latest security patch, because before, whenever it got to the part where it would push the su.img, it would reboot.

Additionally, inside the zip I have included a fingerprint fix I made, for if you get the error message telling you there was a problem, just run the root.bat in the folder and it should fix your problem :)

You need to go into buildprop editor and change it back to Galaxy S7 or whatever it was originally and then flash the stock firmware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
Not for sure if this is right or not but have seen a lot of different people use this with different carriers firmware. The first time I rooted my AT&T phone, I flashed it stock with the Verizon firmware then rooted.

You can also flash your phone with the G935/G930U (Universal) firmware and root it.

If this is what you mean, then yes. If you mean something else, then I am not sure.[emoji2]

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
Ok PJ, I have searched and as far as I can tell your phone will be on the Samsung Unlock Operating System (Android) and from what I have found out from searching is that the SIM card is for the network. I am not for sure if it will work or not as I have not tried it. I would say for you, I would try to update your phone to the U firmware and if you have a spare SIM card, plug it in and give it a try. I wouldn't go out and buy a new SIM card without trying it first.

Unless someone else has done what PJ wants to do and care to comment, please do so. I am just for sure as I have never tried it. I DO know that I did update my phone at one time to the U firmware and it worked just fine on the AT&T Network. I DID NOT try a different carrier's SIM Card so that is why I can't say for sure it would work.

Hopefully, someone else that has done what you want to do can post their experience...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jshamlet:
The baseband modem firmware controls SIM locking. It doesn't matter what firmware you put on for your operating system - Unlocked, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc. If the phone is network locked to AT&T now, it will still be network locked to AT&T on the U firmware.

All switching to the U firmware does is eliminate the carrier-specific custom software.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
Thank you [MENTION=6005385]jshamlet[/MENTION]. That helped me understand the U firmware and Network Locking.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] premnathj:
Thanks for the clarification Jshamlet !. So am I stuck with T-Mobile?

Pls let me know if there is a way to unlock it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jshamlet:
If it's fully paid and there are no other restrictions as far as T-mobile is concerned, you could ask for the subsidy unlock code (SIM unlock). If you bought it for use outside the country, they might cut you a break on the usual service requirements to do so.

Otherwise, there are several places that will sell you a code, but that's outside the scope of the thread.

As an aside, you *may* have to be running the carrier firmware to do the unlock. This varies from device to device, though, and I'm not sure about the S7 Edge.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
It might be a great idea. Which root.bat did you use? The one from message #688 or the original root.bat on the first page? Or one of the other root.bats?

The only reason I ask and mention unrooting is I had the same problem with the heat with my phone. I rooted my phone with the outlined procedure on the OP page 1 and within a few days of the heat and lag, my phone (G935A) developed a small vertical line down the front of the display. After a few days, it became 3 lines all them getting wider. I unrooted my phone and called AT&T Tech support and got a replacement phone under warranty as they said it was a malfunction. I had told them it was caused by the latest update to Nougat. But luckily they took it back and replaced it.

Needless to say, I ended up using the same eng.img and the root.bat in message #688 and have not had any problems since. There are about 3 or 4 Root.bats in this thread and you should try them all to maintain root. And make sure you follow the suggestions of letting the phone settle with the eng.img for at least an hour before applying the root.bat, then follow the directions in #688 with clearing your cache and letting it settle again before touching your phone.

Good Luck!!!
