I think the SuperSU root file has the needed ADB files, so once you navigate to that folder in CMD (command prompt on the pc for those a little lost), I assume those files are whats used to push the root.bat script to the phone? I think we are both right? but I'm not 100% that's why I mention the ADB drivers, which were already installed on this PC I used. This information was scattered in several threads, I was hoping to put all the links in 1 place so we can maybe get this working smoothly for EVERYBODY.:good:

Since you did it too, and you're getting smooth results what steps did I miss? if any.:fingers-crossed:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] vazquezcmp:
I did exactly as you said and worked nicely. The only thing I would add is to already be on Nougat but that might be obvious. I didn't do that earlier, and ended up in a boot loop. Thanks for putting it together. Tomorrow I'll post any lag issues.

I just installed it, seems to be running pretty good. Definitely a lot smoother than the MM eng root. I mainly installed because I wanted to get Google assistant lol.

To enable Google assistant you have to use a root explorer app or ADB and change + add a line to the system/build.prop

Change first line to

ro.product.model=Pixel XL

Copy and paste this into system/build.prop

ro.opa.eligible_device=true

Reboot and you have Google assistant!

Hey thanks for coming over here...

As I mentioned, I don't care about the big hurricane looking icon, but the com.sec.vmimservice icon notification (looks like a red face) pops up multiple times in my status bar whenever there is texting activity. Send or receive. That's what I want to get rid of.

Edit: here's the notification pulled down so you can see.. I have that little red icon in my status bar several times right now... I am using Android messages, and I use Tmobile digits on my other phone (note 4) just fyi... Not sure if everybody is seeing that or if it's unique to either Android messages (formerly Google messenger) or digits service by Tmobile?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Araltd:
Somewhere between reboots (of which there have been many tonight) the setting finally stuck. I also set kernel auditor (adiutor) to set the settings immediately on reboot with no delays.

To me, there is still significant lagging, even with on demand Governor set. I read somewhere about setting the min/max also, those values are always fluctuating in the kernel adiutor program, I'm not sure how to properly set those.... But I also tried kernel tool and had similar results. Just fyi.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Araltd:
Honestly I don't think most of those fixes are still relevant even for MM 6.0.1, so I doubt any flash able version mod would be suitable for N 7.0 [emoji6]

So far, what I've done is wiping cache in recovery (volume up, home and power)

Set the governors to on demand... Beyond that we will need some experts to chime in with suggestions, tips and advice.

Samsung pay

hi, can u still use samsung pay with root, or does this trip the knox counter? thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] carpboy:
OK - repeating some comments as I get everything back running.

Downloaded and flashed a stock N firmware. Loaded root check, Quadrant and AnTuTu. The phone is not rooted now and the unlocked symbol is gone from the splash screen. Set to high performance mode.

Quadrant 27000 AnTuTu 94000.

Applied the ENG patch and installed SU via the bat file, command line.

I am seeing very slight visual lag. Seems OK overall.

Quadrant unchanged, AnTuTu a shocking 133000. Ran it again to confirm, 133000 it is. That is quite odd.

System seems quite responsive.

Added the kernel program, left at settings (interactive), set to apply at boot and rebooted.

Rebooted, set to boot setting stuck in the kernel program.

Benchmarks now Quadrant 28000 and AnTuTu dropped back to 96000.

Now set both governors to ondemand and rebooted.

Checking the kernel the cpus are running high and the governors are still at interactive, very laggy. After about 2 minutes the notice the the kernel program had been given SU permissions came up, the governors were at ondemand, cpu usage down, almost all lag gone.

No change on the benchmarks.

Set the CPU's back to interactive, turned of the kernel at boot and rebooted.

Opened the kernel program just to watch it, CPU was very high, took about 3 minutes for the SU message to come and then shortly after that the CPU usage dropped very low. Setting is still on not to load at boot and CPU's still at interactive. No noticeable lag in the phone.

Benchmarks are 118000 for AnTuTu, no Quadrant as their server is having problems.

The above done with power plugged in but the battery at full charge. Removed the power cord and the value dropped to 90000.. A second run confirmed this. Putting it back on power gave again 90000. So who knows what to make of these #'s, take them with a grain of salt.

So I guess there isn't much difference in the kernel settings. I'll reload my apps and re-evaluate.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] tx_dbs_tx:
Hello everyone. After reading about the lag and cpu issues it seems we may need to request kernel source from Samsung and see what's going on. Apparently root is not agreeing with the kernel as most likely there is root detection built into the kernel as in previous software versions I have worked with. Why else would lag be introduced after rooting the phone? This is definitely kernel & bootloader related. Another important thing people need to understand is that bootloaders are absolutely device specific. Using an ENG bootloader from a T-Mobile device on a Verizon device will definitely have at the very least, one incompatible piece of hardware code, which could very easily break things. I understand this is all we have right now for root but I can't make myself use this method knowing that there is issues that can't be remedied without a correct bootloader and kernel modification. Since it's impossible to build or modify Samsung bootloaders due to us not having the proprietary tools or the ability to write the Samsung signatures, I think this is a road block unless you're willing to accept the negative impacts from using the ENG bootloader and current root method that the kernel doesn't like. Just my thoughts so far.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] carnivalrejectq:
So theoretically based off what youre saying, it would work the best on tmobile if you did use it though?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] tx_dbs_tx:
Definitely. However ENG bootloaders are not a "finished product" ready for public distribution on devices. So that can also be a problem. But the T-Mobile ENG bootloader is bar far best suited for the T-Mobile S7's for obvious reasons. In simple terms, Samsung bootloaders are the "brain" that links hardware and software and is a very critical piece. If we could somehow use the stock VZW Nougat BL and get root somehow, that would be best for us on Verizon.

I'm considering trying to root my S7 Edge, but haven't rooted a phone before and I'm concerned about it deleting all the data I have on my device.

Can someone please explain the right method, is it safe? A lot of the stuff in the OP talks about flashing files onto it, but I've read that flashing of any kind will reset/wipe the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Craz Basics:
To root, you flash a boot img that disables write protection. This does not wipe your data. Rooting just places the SuperSU files onto the phone, which also does not wipe your data. And some things can wipe your phone when flashing but it should tell you if it does before flashing.

Have the newer Xposed apps that were installed with the tweaks, then downloaded the Xposed installer that was recommended in the post. Any thoughts?

So it seems like it was either solved by factory resetting, *OR*, I found some references to people having problems if they didn't first turn off "Secure Boot" - which I hadn't done as it wasn't in the OP. Likely one of those two things.

I'm still not completely rooted, but it does look like I'm past not being able to boot after flashing ENG :)

Hi all. I have a unlocked Galaxy S7 Edge from Sprint that I'm using on the H2O (ATT subsidiary) network and it's working great on the latest Aug.1 2017 of Nougat. If I want to root, do I follow the first page of the thread here or do I follow this other thread here : https://xdaforums.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/successful-root-g935u-g935uueu4bqd2-t3598647 . I just want to root correctly, and debloat everything and be on the latest Nougat as well.

Is there any limitation using the Engineer Firmware? ie... the battery charge limit to 80%, and will we be able to take OTA to get Oreo when it's released, or any security updates?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] metal450:
So it looks like I at least figured out what's causing it, but not how to fix it. It's Secure Startup. I successfully completed the root, tested it, & played with the phone for a bit. Then as soon as I enabled Secure Startup & rebooted, it again got stuck on the Samsung splash screen. Factory reset to fix it, rebooted several more times just to make sure, then enabled Secure Startup...and again, the next reboot got stuck. Obviously that's a feature that really needs to be enabled though...so...not sure how to proceed :(

*Edit*: So I tried reverting to the AT&T stock ROM (aka the bloaty, slow, laggy firmware that came on the phone - which I'd replaced with the MUCH cleaner & faster G930U firmware from here). Lo & behold, it's able to boot the ENG boot with Secure Startup enabled. So while I have no idea why this would be, it appears the best I can do is 2 of 3: Secure Startup, clean G930U rom, and rooted. If I root the G930U, I can't secure startup. If I root the AT&T ROM I can secure startup...but that ROM is a nightmare :P

It would be really awesome if someone had an idea of why this is happening - why only the AT&T rom works w/ ENG+secure startup, but not 930U - or much better, how it could be rectified :)
