G930U.

previously I used my smartphone with Samsung MDM, in a completely stock state, the engineering core allowed me to skip the MDM settings screen, bypass this problem.

I did something stupid when I updated my smartphone on the G930UUESBCTA3, with the 11th version of the bootloader.

Now I can’t configure the smartphone after a reset, because there is no engineering core for the 11th version of the bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] billa:
In my opinion that's not a good "solution" to constantly having to bypass the MDM using a factory binary, every time you update the firmware it wipes it all out. You could buy a cheap S7/S7edge main board on Ebay (search for "Samsung S7 G930U main board clean") to replace it in your phone, problem solved. ;)

Those links you've posted contain incomplete/outdated rooting methods.

Simply follow this post and you will gain root just like countless others (as long as your bootloader Rev. is A/10 or lower, currently there's no Rev.B/11 eng-boot available)

Thanks, i will unroot it and follow your guides, and i will let you know , but did you read my thread about my phone ? after rooting and factory reset the BL went to version 1 before it was 5, and this phone is international version but after local shop repair it it converted to sprint us version .. thanks again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Kingofring18:
1- i flashed to stock firmware (binary 5) successfully.

2- excuted the script .bat file

3- and i flashed boot eng too (i put the img into AB and flash it) was passed in odin, after that the device rebooted, and its stuck on rebooting loop !, i did run script about disabling some things and prevent boot loop but no luck, i enabled usb debugging and ran the script by double click ( i also tried running on cmd by excuting it x.bat, some command successed and some faild, any suggesting ? i am on G935P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] billa:
A couple of possibilities...

1. They have upgraded the firmware during the repair

2. They swapped out the main board with has a bootloader Rev.5 on it.

In any case there's nothing you can do to go back down in revision, only up.

And be careful not to update it to the latest bootloader Rev.B/11, there's no way to root it at this time.

You have probably skipped/switched up some steps, or tried to re-root it without flashing it with stock firmware first.

Once again, start with Step#1 by reflashing it with the full stock firmware as described in the guide.

Do NOT skip anything or switch up any steps, just follow the guide to the letter, otherwise it WILL FAIL!

Even the slightest deviation will result in a bootloop.

Trust me, if you follow the guide carefully you will get a perfect root just like everybody else.

I have updated and clarified a few things in the original post, so follow this guide:

What version bootloader am I on right now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] nj2boston:
I have been trying all night to get this to work, meticulously following instructions both here and on other sites with no luck.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930V with 8.0 OS on it. It is a Verizon phone in the US. I have the required Samsung driver on my laptop installed (Win10). Booted my phone into Download mode, opened Odin, dropped the AP_SM_G930_OREO_ENG_BOOT.tar file into the AP box, connected my phone and it said "Added!!". When I click Start, I get the following error:

I am at a loss. I have no clue what I am doing wrong and am following every instruction here and elsewhere to a T. Is this possible or am I missing an obvious step? This is my first time rooting but I am in a critical scenario... my phone decided to factory reset itself in my pocket today and I lost all of my family/pet pictures so in order to do any data recovery it has to be rooted first.

Thanks for any help, it's greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: Baseband version is G930VVRSBCTA1. After reading, I'm assuming I'm SOL as there is no root for this bootloader B11. [MENTION=293193]billa[/MENTION] Curious if you were able to find a working ENG-BOOT / way to root this version? Saw you mentioned it in your earlier post. Thanks.

If your current firmware has a bootloader Rev.B/11 (5th digit from right to left is a "B"), then there's no way to root it nor downgrade it, you'll just have to wait till a solution comes out.

Too late to root it, you have the latest firmware G935TUVS"B"CTA2 and there's NO WAY to downgrade it. "B" means bootloader "B/11" which has no rooting solution at this time till a matching eng-boot comes out, which could be tomorrow, but it could also be never. If you need root now, consider getting the international version of an S7/S7edge with model number G930F/G935F.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] billa:
Interesting idea, I will look into it... assuming it needs an eng-boot which unfortunately is still not available for the latest firmware Rev.B/11.

Combination firmware is available, but that does not have shell root or SELinux permission.

Oh, I see... using the AudioCoreDebug exploit to send "chmod -R 0777 /persist" in order to create a "persists" folder with root privileges, followed by SafeStrap/FlashFire.

Looks like it might be doable with combi alone, I will give it a shot.

Course it also needs a prerooted S7 ROM for this to actually work, and I know you're not interested.

Would it work if I flashed the various partitions saved by "dd if= ... of=" from a previously rooted S7 with boot Rev.A/10 ?

Would this also have the 80% battery issue and other oddities?

Some people still believe that the S7 series was the greatest Samsung ever made... course it's subjective. lol

Where do I get the "PIT" file and or the "non-HOME CSC " file? My G930A was last services on ATT. But at the moment im not looking to put it into service for cellular anything. Planning on using as a wifi only type device. Maybe later will put it into service with att or someone.

Update : I figured it out. the PIT had to be extracted from within the "CSC_OYM_G930UOYMACSI1_CL14970140_QB25688802_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5" file and the "non-HOME CSC" must be the "CSC_OYM_G930UOYMACSI1_CL14970140_QB25688802_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5". I just wasnt seeing the word "non-HOME" anywhere. Anyhow, After going through the steps outlined I was able to root my s7. Thanks a ton.

*** This root should work on ANY firmware with bootloader version up to Rev.A/10. ***

*** You will find below the latest firmware version which is rootable UUESACSI1 for both G930x and G935x. ***

Also, don't waste your time trying to downgrade, it's only possible on bootloader unlocked Exynos models.

Till a real Rev.B/11 Eng-Boot comes out, there's nothing you can do which might never happen, that's just the nature of rooting phones.

Please read the guide below carefully on which models/revisions can be rooted.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=81410291&postcount=1850

*** This root should work on ANY model G930/G935 A/P/T/V/U with bootloader version Rev.A/10 or lower. ***

*** DO NOT update to the latest firmware with bootloader Rev.B/11 or higher, it's not rootable at this time, and cannot be downgraded! ***

If your current firmware has a bootloader Rev.B/11 or higher (ex. G930UUESxCSI1 "x" is the 5th digit from right to left is "B-Z"), then there's no way to root it or downgrade it, don't waste your time you'll just have to wait till a solution comes out. If your current firmware has a bootloader Rev.A/10 or lower (ex. G930UUESxCSI1 "x" is the 5th digit from right to left is an "A" or lower "0-9"), then it's rootable.

So, it will work on your G930T1 as long as the bootloader version is Rev.A/10 or lower (cannot be Rev.B/11 or newer).

All Qualcomm devices have a locked bootloader, therefore you cannot flash a custom recovery nor Magisk on any revision.
