If this binary doesn't work then it's most likely that it's because of the eng boot... which means you won't be able to edit the build.prop after flashing the eng boot. Try copying the file from your system folder and moving it to your PC(you don't need root). Use the SuperSU zip that I uploaded, extract it, open push_system folder, and move that build.prop that was on your phone to this folder. Once copied to the push_system folder, open build.prop in notepad and add/change the commands from the OP. Save the file, then flash eng boot, then run root.bat after device is connected and wait for reboots. If this doesn't work for root then I definitely have to change the thread.

I am really confused of how to edit this topic, with individuals saying it works and some saying it doesn't. But my opinion, not having this device anymore..is version RA1 seems to be unrootable at the moment. I think I'm just going to update back to the last (4) binary version.

Can you specify please
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Aofie:
Thank you for the easy steps. Root is working however it seems that it gotten a bit slower and laggy. Any idea on this?

Note:

Ive skip this part since i cant find the /system/folder even using file explorer

-Change or add these strings below to your current build.prop in /system/ folder using a file explorer & text editor:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
The eng boot is probably the major cause of your lagging. There's mods/tweaks to improve performance but it's all on the user. Try this...

https://xdaforums.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/how-to-tweaks-mods-rooted-s7e-t3419921

Or look up init.d tweaks. But be careful because they can damage your device if you insert the wrong commands.

Look up govtuner and flash it, see if that might help.

Also for your explorer issues, use es file explorer or something similar and then go from there. Thank you btw.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Aofie:
Tweaks did the trick. Much better now. Its wonderful!

Aaaannndd I'm getting another problem, cant seems to open up my mobile data. I can receive and make a calls, sms working. Its just the mobile data. I can toggle the switch on and off but it doesn't show that its getting connected nor am I getting internet access. My apologies if its already posted somewhere here. Ill be honest, I'm a bit lazy back reading. Lol.

Edit:

Mobile data is working now. It was just the APN not configured yet from my carrier. So ive just updated and its now working.

Samsung account session expired

I keep getting Samsung account session expired after root. It wants me to log into account ? What do I do? Never mind I just remove account. Wanted to say thank you for this root was easy and painless. I used still rom tool box pro too iron out the kinks.I??

I was wondering if you you guys still think it's worth rooting this device. I just got it and was full on ready to root and did. After a reboot root thought it was not rooted . I have found all kinds of work around for the xposed mods I use to have. So I'm pretty happy with the device. The only things I would want different are the charging / battery life issues and the ads that appear every where. I never new how many there were.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
It's funny you say this because a second reboot wouldn't do that... Not with SuperSU. Throughout this thread are ways to improve your battery/performance. Though these 'strategies' are minimal because it's not a full Root. What version are you on? Ads? Sounds like an application problem to me because you can't root this phone with an app. I'm not sure xposed works with SM-G935P but SM-G935U. I might be wrong but please clarify and be more specific?

I don't think this root works for this version but no one can help me out to absolutely confirm... I think what you're saying is confirming this. How is it even possible to root and lose it? It's either my fault or on your end. I can't provide total accuracy if I don't have the device. This is getting bothersome because of hearsay.

I need more details.

I followed the Odin directions. Used the root check app. Then rebooted. After that I installed Titanium Backup to restore my apps and it said I was not rooted anymore. Shortly there after the phone bricked and I had to use Odin to restore Marshmallow 6.0.1
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] cd1207:
Works on latest firmware G935P VPU 6 BRD2! Worked the first time, on stock, no fuss.

That's right folks, this guide is still working even for bootloader version 6!

Two things missing from this guide, 1 is the fact that you can't just modify the /system/build.prop file... without root! I tried all sorts of ways but always got "read-only filesystem" - and I don't have TWRP or anything. So I went forward with root.bat anyway, and then after rooting I used ES File explorer to change build.prop and restore LTE.

Speaking of root.bat... 2 is, that's a Windows file! I had to go find a Windows PC in order to do anything, even though I looked at the script and it's just adb commands that would work fine on GNU/Linux too. Maybe "Windows" should be added to the list of prerequisites.

Unfortunately, rooting took my phone from frustratingly slow (always miss the moment to capture a picture) to laughably slow (Gmaps navigation guidance was 5 minutes behind) so I'm definitely going to do a full wipe as soon as I can get everything backed up.

One thing I wasn't sure how to back up: my data from Private Mode. It seems when the batch file wipes out all fingerprints and passcodes, that affects Private Mode too - which is now asking for a PIN even though I've only ever used a fingerprint. My previous lockscreen PIN doesn't work and I didn't know what would - eek!

I eventually managed to get that all back by using root to reset the passcode. Phew!

I can confirm this Root Method still works :). G935PVPU6BRD2. In Phone developer options, change all animation factors to .5x or off to help speed up phone. I also use application [Greenify] to force closes applications you add not being used after screen turns off to free up memory. If you use Greenify, turn off App power monitor under Samsungs Device Maintenance / Battery / Advanced Settings.

To solve the Samsung account session expired, you need to update the Samsung Account application on your phone. Go to apkmirror.com and download [Samsung account 2.2.04.61 apk]. Worked for me :). The 3.* builds don't work but build 2.2.04.61 does.

Is the root working for oreo update? Can we flash the G935U version of oreo now? Binary 6 here
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] cd1207:
No longer viable

I like Power Monitor's Notifications for apps that are going nuts using battery, so I left it enabled, but I recently disabled the notifications for "Unused apps". It will have you constantly killing apps that use 0.01% of the battery, meaning I never get any notifications from all those harmless apps. That's what Greenify does too, so I stopped using that too.

The battery issues with this method aren't from apps. They're from the method. ANDROID SYSTEM and KERNEL are always at the top of the battery usage list, and it's hard to blame it on anything but the root software. Those things are not supposed to be that high.

It also makes the phone overheat. And that makes the phone slow. Android Auto, for example, takes so long to load into RAM that it often closes before it gets there. When it doesn't, I often have to wait a few minutes before the navigation catches up. The phone has gotten to the point where I can turn on the screen, wait for the lock screen to show up, and by the time it has loaded and I can put in my pattern, it has timed out and fades back to black. I often press power twice, thinking it didn't work the first time, just to have my phone then wake up and go right back to sleep. Last night, it overheated in my bed. Now it dies in half a day. This is all after a clean reset as I said I would do in my last post. That post solved the speed issue, or at least until now. The fixes suggested in this forum are just workarounds - apps that make your phone slower to reduce heat/battery usage, or crank it up to make it faster. Nothing will be as good as the standard unrooted experience, because whatever hack is employed to get root is always in the background, stealing performance. I highly suspect it's the "engineer's image" we flash before rooting - intended for testing, not real-world usage. Going to unroot today, because it's no longer usable.

In doing so, I'll get back Samsung Health, Samsung Pay, Snapchat, and the ability to update. I want to check out the Oreo update. I'll miss root - hopefully we have better luck in Oreo!

Just download the nougat firmware extract contents and flash appropriate files where they go in Odin all at once. I had the same issue with bluetooth. I have a gear s3 frontier and it just would not work right. Eventually it always got to the point where bluetooth was greyed out and wouldnt work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
I found that it is absolutely critical to start with a clean wipe of the phone and DO NOT activate WIFI during initial Nougat installation and phone activation until AFTER root has been accomplished. Otherwise wifi and Bluetooth will not work properly.

---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------

If you are already on Nougat then you have to either re-install the entire firmware with ODIN, or go into factory recovery mode and wipe the cache and do a factory reset. If you don't then the wifi/BT settings will carry over from the previous install and when you root wifi and BT will be broken.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] sigmaelectric87:
So, I ODIN'd over the stock nougat OAT with all my apps and settings. Does ODIN do a full wipe? Also, I believe in the initial setup, the Wi-Fi scanner browses for Wi-Fi networks without me switching it on. Is there a way from preventing it from switching on wifi?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
I did a factory recovery mode cache wipe and factory reset just to make sure there was nothing left from the previous install. The key is to turn off the wifi as soon as that first wifi screen appears after the initial language select screen so that it doesn't complete a wifi connection.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] sigmaelectric87:
Awesome. So I'm assuming the notification drawer appears after the language select? Then I can turbo turn off Wi-Fi? Haha. Thanks for helping me with all my questions :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
You're welcome. I was always dissapointed with the performance of rooted Marshmallow on my Sprint S7 Edge. I was a beta tester of Nougat and the performance of stock Nougat was so outstanding above stock Marshmallow. I was so pleased when jrkruse released a new engboot modified for Nougat. It wouldn't be long before a method for Sprint's version came out here. Thanks to godpower, Goongydin, and jrkruse for developing the methods. It is so important to follow the sequence of steps, in order, without shortcuts. With the post root mods that I posted above (post #59), I was able to get performance with rooted Nougat just as good as unrooted stock Marshmallow. Mind you, I have also disabled 193 packages.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Euronymous88:
So, with root achieved...what are the Wifi Hotspack hack options?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
I feel honored. I'm just a guy who loves trial and error. It dawned on me that Samsung DM was not the problem in this android version and experiment and DM is the only way you're going to obtain service in Nougat.

I thank those guys too because all of these methods/tutorials put together can really make an individual focus and think differently. But i am no developer, programmer, super duper tech expert.. but i know enough to help others out, and I think thats best. It feels good knowing that i released something that others can agree and use as well. Anyways yea Nougat is way better with performance. I just did your performance tweaks and i have to say its weird but so F'N fas. Not having to wait for transitions from app to app is amazing. The constant lagging and force closing apps seems that it will be long gone. But yes I am so glad you said that about sequence... a lot of failures and disabled services have spawned from that. It's a waste of time to try and fix several things that weren't mended in the process. So guys with these hotspot, bluetooth, other letdowns...Start Over, Take your time and READ! Its a better process that way. I have 146 apps disabled.. what and the hell.

Dude the topic is 2 below this one :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Euronymous88:
Are you referring to the adb method? Is there not another working method?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
What exactly are you trying to do..cloak your Hotspot usage with Mobile Data to Sprint?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Euronymous88:
Right. Hack the hotspot...so I can use hotspot with my unlimited data plan.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Euronymous88:
I am not sure what to do at this point. I have followed the instructions to the letter in the OP and WiFi passwords are not sticking and Bluetooth fails to turn on. I followed the advice about modifying buildprop for storage changing from true to false and still no go. And I've rerooted 3 different times and it seems to fail every time. And the same goes for Bluetooth...I have cleared the cache...forced stop Bluetooth share and have rebooted the device. Nothing seems to fix the problem. Any ideas? Suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
Everythings going to be all right lol...The build-prop command isn't full-proof, what is needed for WiFi to stick is com.android.sharedstoragebackup to be disabled.

Once disabled, close all recent apps.

Power Off.

Volume Up+Power+Home to Recovery Mode. Wipe Cache partition. Do it twice. Reboot>See if anything changed. Check bluetooth as well.

The recovery wipe cache has a high success rate of slapping bluetooth to its senses and waking it up, But for you idk what's going on.

I know my bluetooth did this in stock/ rooted previously.. way before Nougat and that is one of the reasons why i don't care nor use it. I'm guessing you do though.

If you're not aware Nearby Device Scanning & Phone Visibility should be on. Under more connection settings locates nearby device scanning.

If still isn't working go to Package Disabler and find Quick Connect. Quick Tools. Clear Data for both of them. Close all recent apps. Power off. Power on and pull down notification bar to extended mode.

Click the search field, "Search phone and scan for nearby devices" If that doesn't pick up a nearby device or can't be seen then I'm all out of ideas.

What are you trying to use bluetooth for? What do you want to connect to right now?

Maybe the devices you're trying to pair aren't visible. I'm Speculating moronic doubts but i can't believe you can't get it working.

I know its not just you but my PC can see my device through bluetooth and vice versa. I can help you out on teamviewer or you can keep trying to reroot/unroot which sucks i know.

Also if you checked Disable Bloatware in Package Disabler.. 1 by 1 enable an app you think might be connected to BT and test back and forth. IDK Man ...

Give me some more details. Sorry for this hassle.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
I rooted my G935P before the OP edited the method yesterday. I wonder if there is an error that creeped into the sequence. I know that the disabled packages list changed in the new version that starts directly with QAA.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
Completely irrelevant don't you say? If we are flashing stock, how is any of this relative to my first method? Also if working for others not just myself I'd say its a user error. But we're going to fix it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
Another difference (besides the disabled package list) I found so far is the new method is missing the instruction to: "OEM unlock switched on" in developer options.

I too have the same issues. Wi-Fi and BT are forked. I'm fairly diligent with the detail of the instructions. I'm not infallible, but I feel my third attempt with the same result was without error.

Perhaps there is something we're doing wrong that's not dictated by the instructions. First, I thought it may have been how quickly I disabled Wi-Fi upon my fresh initialization, but there's no way I could have been quicker. Second, I thought I shouldn't 'restore' my devices data upon setup, but that did not work.

I also wiped cache via recovery x2 after doing the disabler steps correctly. Anyone found any tips to rearrange an order of operations that could affect these symptoms? OP definitely has detailed instructions, but I feel like there may be an assumed step that's unwritten that I'm getting wrong. With respect.

Alright guys, after couple of days rooted I noticed some issues:

- random apps crash for no apparent reason.

- When charging the phone with the original charger, sometimes I get the message about fast charging not happening and to connect to the original charger.

- Phone lags at times but after closing all the apps the lag goes somewhat away.

- Battery is constantly draining not sure why, but even if I'm not using the phone I'm losing power

- I use S Health but now I can't open it. I guess the app now knows when you are rooted.

Any ideas or suggestions on this issues is very much appreciated especially on how to hide the root on apps since we do not have yet xposed for our phone.

Thank you guys. ☺️

I don't seem to have any of those problems. They're most likely all related. i'd start with a fresh stock install. run everything to make sure it works, then root.
