Complete rooting guide for the Samsung S7 (G930x) / S7Edge (G935x) QC

Follow this rooting guide carefully, do not skip any steps!!
And the usual disclaimer: Proceed at your own risk!!
Warning: All your data will be erased, so back up anything important!!
This guide contains the latest version files as of today.

1.
First, turn on ADB-Debug and OEM-Unlock in the Developer Options menu in order to avoid being locked out later on (search for it if you need help).

2.
Next, it's best to start by flashing a full stock, bloat-free, unbranded firmware "U".
Use the patched Odin at the end of this post to flash AP, BL, CP, CSC (select the non-Home file), and the PIT file in the PIT tab.
Due to implementation of the new RMM security, I would not recommend flashing anything newer than Jan. 2018 as outlined here.

3.
Next, in order to avoid the annoying boot-loop issue, run this script before flashing the eng-boot to disable Samsung's Security+OTA.
Some commands may show an error, which is fine since this is a generic script for many different models.
Turn on ADB-Debug and OEM-Unlock in the Developer Options menu in order to avoid being locked out later on (search for it if you need help).
Unzip it and run the _Samsung_Security+OTA_Disabler_(BillA_v2018-01-01).BAT file which should be at top of the folder.

Next, use the patched Odin at the end of this post to flash your phone's matching eng-boot file.

At this point leave the phone untouched for about half an hour to stabilize the kernel, don't touch it and just wait patiently.
Turn on ADB-Debug and OEM-Unlock in the Developer Options menu in order to avoid being locked out later on (search for it if you need help).
Finally, to complete the rooting process, unzip and run the Root.bat file to install SuperSU (Magisk in not recommended at this time, courtesy of JRKruse).

Use the patched Odin flasher first, if it fails then try the regular version.

The link there looks like it's for G935A as well but I have a G930A. Are these generally used interchangeably?

Oops, my bad. No they are not. Here's G930A: https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...mware-g930a-qe1-android-7-0-6-4-2017-t3617101

First, turn on ADB-Debug and OEM-Unlock in the Developer Options menu in order to avoid being locked out later on (search for it if you need help).

One thing I would add to this is to make sure you disable any security locks before rooting/flashing files. If you don't it will cause a boot loop.

And if you flash any stock firmware, make sure you go back and turn on the ADB-Debug and OEM-Unlock in the Developer Options. Anytime you flash new stock file, it will turn those off.

Just adding from experience

In fact the same line has already been included in steps 1, 3, and 5, basically before and after every operation to enable ADB+OEM
No need to disable user locks, because those would be wiped away by the full stock flash.

Thanks for pointing that out. And I forgot the locks were reset with the installation of the firmware. Sorry...

Now here's a question for you, @Craz Basics, or anyone else that might know.

Can you just flash the eng_img without having to go back to the initial firmware?

I am on the 1 Dec 2017 firmware, G935UUES4BQL1, but on the earlier ENG_IMG and would like to install the Aug 2017 version. I don't want to do anything to go past the 1 Dec 2017 updates because of the RMM lock. I also am on the @Quickvic30/Craz Basics ROOT.BAT. So if I just flash the ENG_IMG should I update the ROOT.BAT also?

Just wondering if it was possible doing it that way instead of going through the whole process of installing stock, eng_img, root.bat, etc.

I guess I could install the full U-Firm Stock files, but use the HOME_CSC and not wipe anything, but I have always heard using the HOME_CSC could cause problems. Oh well will see what you al have to say before attempting this.

You're wanting to flash the newer eng? I don't have problems flashing the August one over January. Make sure you're on the August patch or later though.

Also, RMM lock is not present on January patch. Tested myself and rooted with August. And yes, it's a bit faster

Would probably work with eng, still no roms though.

Question, this G935x QC dont work for G930P?

The G935x will only work on the G935P/A/T/V (+ some other variants), and the G930x only on the G930P/A/T/V (+ some other variants).
You probably wanted to use the newer G935x eng-boot on the G930P but no can do, it's no compatible.

It's possible to flash the new eng-boot and even run the new Root.bat over the old installation, but it tends to run smoother on a new clean install.
Like Craz mentioned "Make sure you're on the August patch or later though."
As far as RMM security, the Jan. update may or may not have it, but I'm simply not taking any chances, because just in case it kicks in somehow, unfortunately there's no going back. It's always better to let others be the guinea pigs.

If unrooted yes

If unrooted yes

Will apps and data be lost?

Will apps and data be lost?

No, that's only if you flash stock.

No, that's only if you flash stock.

Where is the eng boot to flash after taking January patch?

[notobsessivejustcurious]

to create a home csc for att, do you extract the att csc and then remove the pit file, compress it back to a tar, and flash odin to keep the data?
just wanna make sure..
