Is this method mentioned in this thread easier to root than this below?

https://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-sm-g9350-s7-edge-qualcomm-sd820-t3410969

The thread i linked Looks as simple as download an app run it.

Turn off OEM unlock

ODIN TWRP

Happy Flashing

After Doing more Reading i came across this.

I thought this new Chinese app claimed to unlock the bootloader. MY BAD

I'm Running Sprint S7 Edge (SM-G935U)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] doubledragon5:
You can not install twrp, with a locked boot loader

Look in the Sprint section for root method there are 2, one easier than the other.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] thegame2388:
I have the exact same problem. CMD goes away after I choose option 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
You have to run the batch file from within the same folder that it has been extracted. Use the cd command to move to the correct folder.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] mihcox:
So just to confirm a few things:

voLTE does not work

KNOX is not tripped

is there anything else that is important to note?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
Correct. Sprint does not have voLTE yet, according to their website information. Knox is not tripped because the bootloader is not modified by the eng boot method.

So I'm guessing the g935P on 7.0 QD2 can't be rooted?? Nothing on it ANYWHERE.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] LunarSkysII:
Somebody help me. I run the root.bat right and my device restarts, the bat says to not do anything til my phone reconnects, I wait until my phone reconnects and the MTP thing pops up, and I click Ok and my phone connects to my PC. I go back to the root.bat, since my device is now connected, and hit Enter. A bunch of things pop up in the bat, and then the bat closes and nothing happens to my phone. I am running it as administrator, idk what's going on. The eng in Odin says passed, what do I do?

EDIT: Nevermind, I just ran it through powershell. Just for anyone else who has the same issue as me, go to the folder where root.bat and all your other files are, and hold down shift and right click an empty space in the folder.Click open Powershell window here. then run this command---- cmd.exe /c 'root.bat' ------ and bam.

Well it seems this month stock firmware update [G935PVPU5BQJ3] updated something on my phone that causes a error on odin now when trying install a different firmware. Odin Failed [Auth]. The phone download screen says: SW REV CHECK FAILED. On top of that now, I get that same error's trying to install any other Unlocked Firmware's. [G935UUEU4BQH3] or [G935UUEU4BQJ5]. I had no problem prior to the stock firmware update. The only Firmware that worked is the stock one from this month [G935PVPU5BQJ3]. Had a hard time finding it since it's not uploaded on SamMobile website yet. I had rooted before using this procedure on G935UUEU4BQH3. Does anyone know if there an extra setup now to get around the stock firmware?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
Have you done both a cache wipe 3x and data wipe 3x in recovery mode, then flashed U QJ5 using all 4 QJ5 tars with CSC and not Home_CSC to completely erase previous installation information?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] eldervamp17:
Yes I have. I even did it 4x. Like i mentioned in the past firmwares following your procedure no problems only now with this months stock firmware i get those errors. Its like the updated stock bootloader is newer than the unlocked one for this month. Not sure.

Could this be the reason? https://xdaforums.com/sprint-s7-edge/help/binary-t3706527

Sorry to jump in here, but been looking all around the site and can't find a definitive first step to root my new S7 Edge that has the G935PVPU5BQJ3 update. I've rooted the S2, S4 and S6 Edge, but things clearly have changed since I last rooted my S6 Edge about two years ago. Can anyone point to where to start for root with this new updated build, with the proper links for this build? Again, my apologies. I used to follow all Galaxy rooting methods, recoveries, and ROM flashes. I'm not a beginner, but can't find definitive starting steps to root, apply the proper TWRP. I just want root and add recovery, and might explore a ROM after that.

Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] eldervamp17:
Wish I knew myself. From what i read, this months stock update from sprint now uses Binary 5 on there Firmware's so cant install the old Firmware's which has Binary 4. I'm assuming the U (Unlock) Firmware's are still using Binary 4 including the one they released this month cause I can't install those either now. I used this thread before without any problems until the current sprint update. Guess I'll wait until there's a updated U (Unlocked) Firmware with Binary 5. Ugg, having Root withdrawals..lol.

Thanks. So is there anywhere on this forum I can visit to look for any rooting solutions with my situation? I'm not sure I would've swapped up from my rooted S6 had I known rooting this updated S7 would reduce me back to unrooted. I checked this S7 forum before I bought my S7, saw all the great ROMs, and looked forward to rooting an even better phone. Bummer!

What if running 935u from a 935a...

Does anyone know if I can use this on my s7e that was originally an att 935a,now running 935u? I rooted after going to 935u and using mintsim.com as my new carrier. It was an older root where you lost Samsung pass which I'm hoping to get back. I can't use finger prints anymore, not because it doesn't work, it says I've made unauthorized changes and refuses access to them and no access to the Samsung account at all.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

UPDATE:

Sorry, I'm only half way through all this and haven't seen this mentioned yet...

From what I've read, all the 935u 's are the same, not carrier specific. Just wanted to put that out there before someone yells at me for being in the wrong place! Just looking for a fix to my issue that I can't find anywhere else.

Thanks! ?

Think I'm going to go ahead and try this, at least what I think I can safely adapt, in the am. I'll check back for words of wisdom before starting. Otherwise I'll post how it works out and what adjustments were needed. ?

With the carriers locking down our boot loaders and not letting us do what we want.. Is why I just sold mine S7 E and bought a S5.. I will never buy a newer phone again, if I don't have to.

Binary 5

Why is Sprint the only carrier firmware to go to binary 5? I can no longer boot into the old school bootloader, to clear the cache and factory reset. I can only boot into download mode.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
G935UUES4BQL1 is now available from the usual download databases. Based on the name, it is still bootloader binary ver 4 so it is still rootable. Only if you have not installed the Sprint binary 5 P firmware!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
It's 5BQL1 and binary 5 so you will not be able to replace it with a binary 4 U firmware.

Unfortunately you're locked out of root because the eng boot requires binary 4 and you can't go back from 5.

DO NOT USE the VZW_UFirm_Root from his thread on the Sprint S7E!!

Download and extract the new SPR_Ufirm_Root.zip to a folder on your PC: View attachment SPR_UFirm_Root.zip

It is specially modified to work on the Sprint S7E with the G935U SPR variant firmware.

Clean install the Sprint G935U firmware into your G935P as already detailed in Post #2 above.

Install engboot.img as detailed in post #2 and run SPR_root.bat as soon as phone connects to computer and before phone starts bootlooping

Right click on SPR_root.bat and select run as administrator. Phone will reboot once during install leave phone connected at all times until command window closes.
