Oh okay. I will have to do some reading on Eng Boot. I'm not educated on what that exactly means. I did successfully use your root method and got to play in twrp which was really cool. I really like the adb tools setup. I'm having a hard time with the debloating. I'm trying to find out what files to remove and keep. The system is very slow rooted. I hope I'm not debloating wrong. Sorry I'm semi new at this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Archangel:
Just be careful what you debloat. What I would do is go into settings/apps and disable anything you think is bloat then see if the phone runs differently for a day or so. Somethings you think wouldn't affect the running of the system do. That way if it does affect something you can go back in and enable it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Scottie32583:
I went ahead and used stock files in Odin to flash everything back to normal. I went ahead and tried the disable method with it unrooted of course. It is running so smooth now. On top of it all the Samsung apps work which I like.

I learned yesterday after all day battling the rooted way deleting bloat that you are correct. There are issues from deleting things that you think would never cause issues. My phone instantly would lock up and the battery was draining super fast. It was not worth it.

I will take your advice. Thank you!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Omegeddon:
So what kinds of things would I be able to do with root that wouldn't get changed back once I unroot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] waingro808:
That is good advice. I used the 'pm uninstall' method to debloat tons of Samsung stuff. Now I occasionally get random battery drains. Time to factory reset. I should have just left it, because my wife has an international Exynos S7 with nothing debloated, and it runs perfect.

I used the unroot procedure but I can't seem to remove the SU Binary from the system. Can I Enter TWRP again and just remove it manually or would you recommend another method?

Update: I had to use the SuperSU unroot package built by osmosis.

Also, while you're rooted, if you don't want to get OTA update nags, you need to remove these two folders:

/system/app/MnoDmClient

/system/app/MnoDmViewer

Quick question, could you install magisk with this considering you can get into twrp? I think no because I believe magisk uses the boot partition to be systemless and that is still locked and can't be unlocked.

This just means that you're on the latest revision of the bootloader which is locked. I'm in the same predicament, but the only rootable devices at this point are those that are on bootloader version 8 or earlier.

Root on S7 ATT 8.0 OREO V4 Bootloader

Worked on my s7 ATT, the RAM usage changed from fresh stock 1.9 GB Free Ram with NO apps installed vs ROOTED with NO apps installed is 1.2 GB Free Ram,

Wow, Oreo is so much faster than what I was on, Marshmallow ROOT from 2016. Way better battery life too. I get 25 min of SOT per 5% battery when I am on Mid battery saving mode. No L Speed or even Greenify needed, they are already sort of built in Oreo. Got a new battery for the S7 ATT and had to restore to fix charging issues for the new battery, so decided to upgrade to Oreo. The new battery was charging accordingly to the old S7 Battery stats, i don't know if it was the fg_asoc file that messed up the new battery charging, but this upgrade and possibly restore fixed the new battery charging issue. I finally don't hate the S7 battery life anymore.

1.its the 8 or is it 9th number, which ever a number in your baseband string

3.yes, if you stay with the rooted option YES it will lag... (so unroot once youhave everything in place!)

ok, ive now been able to obtain all the files needed, that is the eng boot, and eng recovery... so got a couple of question to port it over ...

when you stated that this allows you to make any modifications you might want then easily unroot for better performance.

is that ONLY in the System folder ??

when you unroot, the DM-Verity fix is this now done via the twrp and the preperations from before ??...( and not by the missmatch of the modems (HILOS.bin file) like you were doing before this eng.recovery leak )

and one more thing, if i do port it ok to the S7a (nearly finished) is there other people to notify/get permission/name on release ??
