This didn't work for me and was wondering if any one has tried it?

I followed the root instruction and was successfully rooted straight from stock nougat with all my apps etc. Everything worked perfectly with just a minor lag but still do-able as I decided to flash the volt icon fix and did so I lost my text messaging abilities and believe it was the volt icon fix. I read threw the thread and tried thus and I get a force close app Ims or somewhat and never goes away.

Update correction. I just drove out and ran another test on phone and it seems to work on the networks carrier so it's possible that the Wi-Fi fix may have been what broke the setting of IMS not to work on Wi-Fi.? Questionable.

So now I had switched sim cards ( I have another phone and put my main SIM card, to have a usable phone) added another sim to the S7 and everything started working. Perhaps pulling put the sim card and putting it back in May have reset something for text and internet work. So just thought I'd post thus up to see if I'd help any one.

Pulling sim card out and back in might reset text and web setting. It worked for me.

Yup. At one point it didn't even save passwords with it set to false and BT was still broken. The only thing that fixed it was a full clean Odin flash and then rerooting.

This lag is painful though.

If I have to clean Odin flash back to stock 1 more time I will just stay on stock. Lol. Went through all this on mm and went back to stock after a few weeks of root so ready to do the same
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Corwinder:
Somehow I missed this set of instructions. I knew the zip files all had the imsservice.apk so I probably originally saw this and thought "the zip file will install that for me" Then I saw your post about following these directions. Sure enough. It worked like a charm. Oh I shouldn't say I followed all the instructions. I don't have ro.securestorage.support set to false. I have not even messed with it and have no problems with wifi connecting or even bluetooth. I don't have Knox disabled so that must be why S-Health works fine for me. Aside from possible lag what would be the benefit of disabling Knox?

---------- Post added at 10:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

You shouldn't have to do a clean flash back to stock. Use the Home csc when you restore and you won't lose anything. Over the last 2 days I think I botched my wifi calling up at least 3 times and ended up flashing stock on top of everything using the Home.csc file. As soon as that booted I'd immediately follow the steps to root. If it weren't for that Home.csc I would have gone back to stock after the second time of starting over.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] HiGhDRo3o5:
I already did this a few times. Gonna try 1 more time cause everything is working great except the saving of WiFi passwords which is starting to be annoying.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] The Android Attorney:
pretty sure this has to do with a package not being disabled.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Corwinder:
I went back to stock and then rooted again. Then I followed the instructions to pull the apk out of the zip file and manually put it on the phone. I followed those instructions to the letter and everything is working now. I should point out that when you use Flashfire to install a zip why would you think you need to go double check the permissions? Manually installing the apk yes but installing a zip?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] cruel91:
I couldnt get Flashfire to flash, so I have to push the apk manually. Though I set permission correctly, wifi calling still breaks. I go double check again and realize the permission didnt stick

I've been rooted for a couple days using this guide...seems to work OK. It's a little laggy on my Verizon G930V compared to stock, and the battery drain is higher. Although they're not horrible, those 2 things alone make me want to go back to stock.

That said, the 2 sources listed to get the stock ROM don't appear to have it. Anyone know where I can get the G930V version of 7.0?

Quick question...I want to go back to the Stock ROM that I just downloaded (G930V, Verizon, Nougat). BUT, I don't want to lose any data or wipe out my apps. I read on an earlier post that someone did this without losing anything. What's the best way to flash back so I don't lose anything? Should I use Odin?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Araltd:
Question for all who are rooted.

Why are you rooted?

What apps are you running that require root?

What benefits are you getting by being rooted vs being stock?

Be specific if possible.

This may be a better question posted in a separate thread? But I'm going to start asking this question here first. I'm hoping to (1) find some nice root only apps and mods. (2) explore things "root" I (and we) otherwise wouldn't know about. (3) help other s7 users enjoy the root more.

Sent from my Rooted Galaxy S7 EDGE on Android 7.0 Nougat, here's the instructions how to do it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
From what I have read on this and other posts, Yes you use Odin and input the correct files and as CSC use the home_csc. This is supposed to keep from resetting your phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
Yes you use Odin. You also use the HOME.CSC to retain all your data. Sometimes people don't post the home.csc when uploading firmware so hopefully the firmware you downloaded has that in it. If not the sammobile has the firmware and I'm pretty sure that would come with the home.csc.

How do I install the VoLTE VMM icon file?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jshamlet:
I haven't rooted my device yet, because I'm still not sure if I am going to keep it. However, in general I root for a few reasons:

1) I want to be able to disable whatever I feel necessary, not what AT&T or Samsung feel is necessary. There is zero practical reason for some of these services to be protected, and they often cause issues.

2) I want to control what has network access and what doesn't on my device. Not every app really needs to see the Internet. Thus, I want root to be able to use iptables vi AFWall+.

3) I don't like ads, so I use AdAway. It makes a huge difference.

4) I don't feel like paying Samsung for free fonts (as in literally GPL/CC free fonts - I use Roboto Thin on most of my devices) because they require signed font files.

5) Sometimes app "upgrades" aren't really upgrades. I like to be able to backup/restore my apps using Titanium Backup - just in case an upgrade turns out to be not so hot.

There are other reasons, but those are the big ones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
I have to agree with JSHamlet on all his points with you being in control of your phone.

As for applications that require Root:

1. As mentioned, Titanium Backup

2. Root Explorer

3. Tasker

4. Greenify

5. Kernel Adiutor (I know, that is how the Author spells it)

6. BusyBox

Those are the few that I can think of right now. But I just rooted my phone yesterday and have had my phone rooted before Nougat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] sacnotsack:
I root to have more control over my device. I absolutely love the dual speaker mod and have been running it for many months.

Xposed (can't wait for it to come to nougat)

I've been trying to figure out how to get fonts and can't find any answers for the life of me. Everyone says that it's not compatible. Would you mind telling me how you do it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jshamlet:
On a bootloader unlocked device, that isn't too hard. I used the package from this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/themes-apps/font-pack-966-fonts-one-apk-s6-s6edge-t3154336

to add fonts to my Galaxy Tab S2, and they work great. Of course, I blew the Knox fuse on that tablet rooting it, so I have no idea if this package is "safe" on the S7E, but I imagine with this root method it should be. It essentially replaces one of the existing packages.

EDIT: Yes, this works fine. I manually created the SamsungSans folder in /system/app, copied the APK from my SD card, and set the permissions. I now have Roboto-CondensedLight as my system font! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] cruel91:

Ok, so I went ahead and rooted my AT&T G935A. For reference, it took the OTA to Nougat, but I went ahead and did a factory reset anyway just to clear the air. The procedure went flawlessly.

I noted that the phone lags like crazy before Kernel Adiutor comes alive and adjust the governor. I mean, it is painful just trying to get Nova to open the app drawer. However, as soon as Adiutor adjusts the settings, the phone is actually smoother and less janky than unrooted stock. I was actually amazed at how much of a difference it made, but it's far more than acceptable. Note, I set everything to "conservative" for battery life, but the phone is smooth as glass with that setting.

The only weird things I've noted are the GSam root companion app failed to install the apk - from the app. I was able to manually copy it in Solid Explorer and it worked just fine. The root companion app even detected it was installed properly and let me hide the icon. Not sure what the deal is with that since it got root permissions.

The other are the icons everyone has mentioned, but I use BT heavily, so I'm going to have to find a way to keep that and get rid of the icons.

All in all, my device is performing better rooted than it did before. I'm now researching which packages to disable for optimal performance.

I started using that app (android messages) because supposedly it will allow for the newer rcs texting on tmobile. While the default Samsung messages app is limited to traditional old school sms/mms.

I guess one good thing, from the notifications I've seen it is indeed communicating using rcs.

Thank you for sharing this. Worked great coming from rooted MM. Things got smoother once I froze some bloat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
I have a question for you now that you have completed the Nougat update and have it working. When I flashed my current phone (SM-G935A) MM to the rooted ENG img, mine too was laggy and the battery was very erratic. After awhile, like you mentioned with the freezing of the bloatware, it finally did settle out and was very happy with the Rooted Phone. I was not wanting to get away from the Rooted phone.

But now that I see it is possible and looks like things are working out, my question is How Did You Do It?

My take on how to do it is basically:

1. Unfreeze the Updates and files needed to update the phone (On mine anyway, AT&T Software Update 2.2.41, Security Policy Updates 4.1.80, and Software Update 3.1.12)

2. Unroot back to the Stock Firmware Image.

3. Allow the phone to update to 7.0 (Nougat)

4. Run this procedure in accordance with page one of this Thread.

5. Go back and Freeze the Bloatware that might be causing Lag on your phone.

Is there anything that I might be missing? Any way this basic procedure somewhat like you did? Please let me know if I am doing this right so I don't mess things up. And thank you for posting this as to let us know that it does work and you are running a Rooted Nougat S7/S7E Phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] sabresfan:
You seem to have the basics down to me. Make sure you have the proper nougat files for your phone if something goes wrong. You could also update to nougat like that first with Odin then proceed following the root instructions. Good Luck

I am desperate for root. I am trying to move from an S3 and am being thwarted in every avenue I take. I have a fair amount of app data I need to move over and nothing is working. Helium, adb, God knows what else, all fail. I have a fist full of TiBU's, I would have been done in 15 minutes with root, but no....Day 2 and still screwing around with it.

So, is the lag that bad? Can I just root, get my data over, then unroot without a wipe happening? Or is the phone very very usable?

What files should I have handy for 'emergency' while flashing?

Thanks for all the efforts.
