Unfortunately can't do Magisk root on locked bootloader phones, because Magisk needs to patch the boot.img file. As soon as you change even one byte in that file, flashing it will fail due to the locked bootloader. That's why it can only be done on the international versions with Exynos chipset (ex. G930F/G935F).

After flashing the eng-boot file, let the phone sit for half an hour without touching it to have the kernel settings settle.

Then you can use a number of tools posted throughout this thread to tweak the kernel and cores in order to get the lag and speed optimized.

OMG ITS ALIVE AND WORKING AGAIN FINALLY!!!!!!

I followed your instructions to a T and I was able to get my phone back to the setup screen AND was able to finally acquire root on my s7. It took me a lost three weeks to get my phone fixed and have it back up and running! Thank you sooo much bills, I had tried and tried to get MANY other g930u firmware files to flash to it but every single one would fail in some type of Odin error, and I know it wasn't because they were the latest firmware files to so that wasn't the issue. Regardless of what the problem was your links/instructions, and on the very first attempt got me back up and running better than ever! I'm so thankful to finally be rid of all that God awful bloatware! So anyone wondering how to root your phone that has a v10 bootloader his instructions are flawless!

---------- Post added at 01:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------

I'm also wondering the same thing, are there any xposed framework installers for the sm-g930u?

I've read somewhere that they used FlashFire to flash the Xposed system, unfortunately I have no experience with that, therefore search is your best friend.

Hi,

I am considering rooting my phone using this method, however I was wondering how much it would impact my battery life?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] billa:
Yes, the latest bootloader A/10 firmware will flash over any previous version to date.

It looks like Samsung will probably not be updating this phone any more, unless they find some critical flaw or security bug.

It varies from phone to phone, user to user, the number and type of apps being used (some use a lot of power), so try it and if you don't like it just reflash it with stock firmware to go back to unrooted state.

Keep in mind, the S7 series was made in 2016, and the original batteries started to get weak by now regardless if running rooted or unrooted.

In any case, it's highly recommended to replace the battery, either yourself if you can handle the fragile glass back door, or take it to a local phone repair shop to do it for you. Also, use high quality $20-30 batteries, not the cheap $10 knock-offs, which will give you even worse performance than what you have in your phone now.

You can also try some kernel tweaks to minimize power usage. Just remember this is the only method available for the US Qualcomm models.

If you want perfect battery, custom recovery, Magisk, SuperUser Hide, etc. then consider getting the international versions G930F/G935F with unlocked bootloader.

I am trying to backup my data if possible. My PIN I have used for 4 years suddenly stopped working.

If I were to flash "Samsung_G935x_QC_UVEACSF1_v8.0.0_Eng_Boot_Root_v2019-06-04.TAR", billa seemed to indicate that adb is enabled by default. "Once you flash the eng-boot, that should enable ADB automatically." page 179

Would I be able to use adb to delete password.key to remove my pin. Then reflash back to stock and my phone would be unlocked? Or if that wouldn't work, would I be able to use adb to download my data off the phone?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Yes. Go to this link https://www.xda-developers.com/xposed-framework-for-android-oreo-beta/ download the official Xposed installer 3.15, even though the article says 3.14 that doesn't make a difference. Install the 3.15 APK but do not open the app when you install it. Then go here http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk26/arm64/ and download the latest beta v90 zip, put it into internal storage and flash with flash fire making sure you mount partitions read, write. When the device reboots it'll probably tell you a cannot verify the system and ask you to reboot to recovery and do a factory reset. Go through with it and do the entire factory reset, reboot the phone, set it up and reinstall the 3.15 Xposed installer APK and open the app. The box should be yellow and tell you that exposed is present but is not functioning simply reboot the device from the Xposed installer application and you are good to go.

Nevermind the following method worked perfectly for v10 bootloader on 8.0 G930P. Of course replace the firmware with the most current firmware for this device, and flash the eng boot image included in the link https://xdaforums.com/verizon-s7-ed...reo-nougat-t3819616/post81410291#post81410291

I have some questions and I will be grateful if anyone could help me, and I will detail my proccess when I got my device rooted, here are some questions before I can get started:

Could I swap ( G930UUESACSI1 /G930UOYMACSI1 / G930UUESACSI1) for (G930UUEU8CRJ2 / G930UOYM8CRJ2 / G930UUEU8CRJ2) ?

4.
Try the two root methods below, and see which one works best for you (courtesy of JRKruse)
You must redo everything from Step 1 again after trying each one at a time (do not run both on top of each other!).
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid...32744536990173
Run Setup.exe, select (4) Simple ADB Root (do not play around with any of the other options!)
OR
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid...63190603904440
Run Root.bat
If your phone acts wonky, slow, or lagging, you may run some kernel tweaks, SEFIX, etc.
Keep in mind, this is the best we have at this time without a bootloader unlock.
If you're looking for custom recovery, Magisk, SuperUser Hide, etc. then consider getting the international versions G930F/G935F with unlocked bootloader.

The step by step above gonna work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] billa:
You could substitute it with the older G930UUEU8CRJ2 firmware, BUT if your phone has already been updated beyond bootloader v8, then you won't be able downgrade to G930UUEU8CRJ2.

If you're already on G930UUEU8CRJ2, you must also use the matching v8 eng-boot posted somewhere in this long thread.

Honestly, there's really no good reason to go back to the older G930UUEU8CRJ2, since the latest G930UUESACSI1 is the same Android version v8.0.0 anyway, including the latest security fixes and some improved features.

Thanks for answer,

I am using the G930PVPU6CRE7, U6, Rev6, etc.

Edit2: I found this page: https://www. androidsage .com /2018...on-galaxy-s7-and-s7-edge-on-android-8-0-oreo/ ,

Its shows the below info:

Optional (Alternative root method)

Download and flash the S7_Oreo_Su_Binary_Only_ADB_Root.zip. This root zip is only for Android 8.0 Oreo firmware on Galaxy S7 devices. It only installs the SU binary to the system/xbin folder to root Android devices. It does not disable DM-verity and system file encryption. There is no SuperSU app either. Install this SuperSU.apk.

So... I am using G930PVPU6CRE7 Oreo, Rev6... I just need to flash this "S7_Oreo_Su_Binary_Only_ADB_Root.zip" with Odin and install the modded SuperSu.apk from jrkruse am I right?

My advice is simply follow the latest guide at https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=81410291&postcount=1850 and just substitute the firmware with the older one you have on your phone, including the matching eng-boot for your firmware version. As the guide shows, start fresh by reflashing your phone with the same firmware version that's current on it (you can't downgrade, only flash with the same or newer version), in order to avoid wasting a bunch of time, posting a bunch of support messages, and a bunch of headaches. ;)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] billa:
There's your problem "Fused 10 binary 8", means that your phone's bootloader has been updated to version 10 at some point, and there's no way to downgrade it to bootloader firmware 8 (or even 9 for that matter). You will have to flash it with the latest bootloader A/10 firmware, there's no other solution.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] IronPikachu:
I suppose i'll then have to find a v10 root then?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] billa:
Yes, once again, there's no way to downgrade it to bootloader 8 (or even 9 for that matter), therefore you can only flash bootloader A/10 firmware or higher (currently the highest is A/10). If you pay careful attention to the error messages on the download screen, it gives you all the answers.

No, the eng-boot is NOT a custom recovery with usb/adb functionality, it merely provides a permissive SELinux environment, which can be used to execute the root script.

So I have a 930U binary 10 stuck on a pretty bad bootloop for over two months now and I figured I'd try billa's method to see if it would do anything to revive my phone.

Out of curiosity I have unpacked those supposedly newer Rev.A/10 Eng-Boot files, did a binary comparison and they turned out to the completely identical to what I have posted originally for both G930x/G935x. There's usually only one eng-boot version released for each new bootloader revision (in this case Rev.A/10). You can verify my claim by unpacking it yourself using the right tools. The only difference is that the "new" eng-boot comes in "boot.img.lz4" format which is the same as the fully unpacked version "boot.img", and someone just renamed the files with a newer version.

G930x_QC_ENG_BOOT_BIN_10_U10_REV10.tar > boot.img.lz4 > boot.img binary is identical to the originally posted boot.img below

Samsung_G930x_UVEACSF1_v8.0.0_QC_Eng_Boot_Root_v2019-06-04.TAR > boot.img

Including identical "eng/test-keys"

ro.bootimage.build.fingerprint=samsung/heroqlteuc/heroqlteatt:8.0.0/R16NW/G930AUCEACSF1:eng/test-keys

Anyway, looks like Samsung has released a newer bootloader revision Rev.B/11 firmware in Feb 2020, so do NOT update your phone's firmware till a matching eng-boot is available, otherwise you will be left with no root. I will post it as soon as it's out.

The second problem is, if you already have Rev.11 firmware on your phone, you cannot downgrade even if you have successfully removed the MDM lock.
