I had flashed U firmware on my sm-g935T
And can't be done
It always restart, eror at recovery
Here's how I ROOTED Nougat on my S7 Edge G935T
- Thread starter Araltd
- Start date
And can't be done
It always restart, eror at recovery
I also cant go back to MM. I think the bootloader version or something.
BTW, the Custom Padlock on boot was gone. What i did?
Flashed official firmware (Nougat) still have that custom on boot
After first boot, i did the initial set up. Then power off.
Did a cache wipe and factory reset.
Then it's gone.
I'll try flashing G930U Firmware.
Haa..mine gone too..after i flash the U firmware.
What series is your device??
Mine is SM-G935T
tell me if your device same with me and you can flash the U firmware
SM-G930V
No success on flashing G930U MM. I'll settle for Nougat for now.
Thanks anyway.
Instal the last U firmware nougat version.
Let me know if youre success
Hi Thanks for the great instruction.
Yes, it root my phone, but unfortunatelyI get my Fingerprint sensor stop/fail to run after the S7edge_Qualcomm.tar is flashed.
What shall I do to get it work please?
Here is my phone spec:
- It's s7 edge SM-G9350 Snapdragon version (Hong Kong) 128Gb.
- Current rom is G9350ZHU2BQD2, Nouga 7.0
[I want to keep my current Rom and just want to root it]

Root Android 7.0 Nougat on Galaxy S7 & S7 Edge devices. YES! Supports all USA Qualcomm variants. T-mobile, AT&T, Verizon and *Sprint (*Note: Some people have reported problems with the Sprint device after root, while others have had success. As always, read the thread for detail and use at your own risk)
** THIS IS NOT FOR THE EXYNOS VERSION OF THE S7! **
A few answers to common questions:
YES - this breaks Samsung Pay and probably Android Pay (you will NOT be able to use Samsung Pay after root)
YES - this process is reversible by several methods, one of which would be simply doing a factory reset and re-flashing the complete Nougat Android 7.0 Firmware files in Odin, More details on this below.
NO - this process does NOT trip the KNOX counter
NO - there is no TWRP or custom recovery for this method of rooting
NO - there is no XPOSED framwork for Android 7.0 currently (as of today's date)
YES - There is a Android 7.0 custom rom! Thanks to @jrkruse https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/development/rom-t3572739
Many thanks to the people who released the files! I am only posting the file's in a single easy to find post along with my experience and instructions which may or may not work for you! these instructions may or may not be right. these instruction may or may not be missing crucial steps.

[SIZE=5 @[URL="https://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1949695"]jrkruse[/URL] for his awesome job for making a custom flashable Android 7.0 Nougat ROM https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/development/rom-t3572739[/SIZE]
@Chainfire for creating SuperSU and other great android utilities.
I'm sure there are many others, but I don't know who all created what, so I'm only listing those who I know - if I messed this up, I'm sorry in advance.
ENG (AP) files for S7 and S7E (from this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71271898&postcount=28 )
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767141717
(This is the ENGINEER boot kernel boot.tar file you'll be flashing in the special modified Odin software from your PC)
SuperSU 2.79 root.bat file (from this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71281527&postcount=50 )
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634750763
(This is the command prompt script you'll execute from a CMD prompt from a windows PC that installs the needed files for root access like SuperSU)
**Alternative** Many thanks to active contributor of this thread @Quickvic30 for the info in post #688
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71700562&postcount=688
Who offer's another root.bat alternative which gave him better performance. Please check out that post for the file, and click the thanks button.
PLEASE REMEMBER: Results for rooting vary on each and every device. Lag, Performance, Heat - These things vary from device to device. YOUR MILEAGE WILL VARY!
** You will use either the originally posted SuperSU 2.79 root.bat, or the ALTERNATE version posted by Quickvic30 - DO NOT USE BOTH - CHOOSE ONE METHOD OR THE OTHER ** OR TRY EACH INDIVIDUALLY AND SEE WHICH GIVES YOU ACCEPTABLE RESULTS **

ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION from Post #413: Thanks to @sabresfan post #413
You will need to download and use only the PrinceComsy modified Odin which I got from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591023225177749
Kernel Adiutor can be downloaded from Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor
Original stock firmware files can be found on these sites or searching XDA
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
http://updato.com/
** Edit: More information about returning to STOCK below on this first post **
I'm not sure if you need the ADB files installed system wide or not? But you can also download and install the 15 minute ADB drivers. (use google or search XDA)
AGAIN: I did this to my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge on T-mobile G935T RUNNING ANDROID 7.0 NOUGAT I believe this will work with other USA released carrier variants using Qualcomm chipset (T-mobile, AT&T, Verizon and Sprint)... BUT YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
EDIT: MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON ANDROID 7.0 NOUGAT - OBVIOUSLY. (Baseband Version: G935TUVU4BQB1 in the case of a G935T S7 Edge) :fingers-crossed:
This process did NOT cause any data or application loss for me. I did this procedure from an OTA upgrade to N from MM.
Obviously, Download all needed files in advance and unzip accordingly.
Put your phone in download mode (Volume Down, Home and Power) then click home again to continue to download mode
Launch the modified ODIN on your PC
Unzip ENG BOOT file and get the boot.tar for your device (in my case it was the S7edge_qualcomm.tar was the file I needed for the S7 Edge) DO NOT UNZIP THE TAR FILE.
Put that .tar file in AP section of ODIN
Connect your phone, you should see a lighted COM port selected in ODIN meaning your good to go.
CLICK START in Odin. You Phone will flash the file quickly and restart.
Let it boot up fully and wait until you can unlock the phone (go to desktop of the phone)
Now open a CMD prompt on the computer and navigate to where you downloaded and unzipped the SuperSU 2.79 earlier
in the CMD prompt type root.bat this will push the required files to the phone and it will be rooted when its completed.
After a few minutes your phone will restart, and you will have SuperSU and root access on Android 7.0 Nougat.
This is how I rooted my SM-G935T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge on Android 7.0 Nougat. Yes this is a bootloader locked T-mobile branded device.
Please feel free to add or correct anything here in the posts below!
EDIT: You'll want to install Kernel Auditor from the Play store, grant it supersu permission, and set both cpu govenors to ONDEMAND and set apply on boot. (core 1&2 default to performance and core 3&4 default to interactive - set both to ondemand and apply on boot)
EDIT2: You may want to experiment with the CPU governors in Kernel Adiutor (that's actually the correct spelling according to the author). It's been suggested CONSERVATIVE will give you better battery life than ONDEMAND. So you'll want to try the available options and see which results in acceptable balance of performance and battery life for you.
GOOD LUCK! AND THANK YOU!
I HOPE THIS HELPS PEOPLE GET ROOT ON THEIR USA QUALCOMM DEVICES
PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK THE PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT THIS INFORMATION TO YOU.
Returning to STOCK Android 7.0 Nougat
You will need to have Odin installed (same modified Odin linked above should work fine)
You can download stock Android 7.0 Nougat firmware from

When you extract the .zip file for your device, you have 2 options for the CSC section. One file will erase all existing data and apps, reverting your phone to a like new state. The other will preserve your currently installed apps and data.
CSC_TMB_G935TTMB4BQB1_CL10376601_QB12449118_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar USING THIS FILE WILL ERASE ALL EXISTING DATA ON THE DEVICE
HOME_CSC_TMB_G935TTMB4BQB1_CL10376601_QB12449118_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar USING THIS FILE WILL PRESERVE (*NOT ERASE) ANY EXISTING DATA FROM THE DEVICE
Obviously you can only choose 1 of the CSC files. Using the HOME_CSC keeps your existing data, and the other CSC formats your phone.
Thanks to @billa (https://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=293193) for taking taking the time to put these tips together for everyone.
Slightly edited by me
As always THANKS to all the users who continue to contribute to this thread, and to all the people involved in bringing you this information so you can ROOT your Samsung Galaxy S7 or Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge on Android 7.0 Nougat!
I will continue to update this first page with relevant links, details and information in an attempt to keep the information easier to find for everyone.
Take a moment to press the THANKS button!
Well you have the international snapdragon variant. This thread and instructions are for usa snapdragon variants. At this point the only advice I can give you is:
First find your firmware specific to your model, and download it. If it were me at this point, I'd backup everything and do a complete reflashed of the entire firmware but you may able to only flash parts to re-enable your hardware properly.
Second, find the oppropriate thread/forum section specific to your model. And ask for help and support there... I personally do not know how the usa snapdragon models are different from the international versions. But you have proven that they are different. Otherwise your fingerprint sensor would still work, like it does for the many rooted usa snapdragon variants.
Good luck!
Sent from my Rooted Galaxy S7 EDGE on Android 7.0 Nougat, here's the instructions how to do it!
Thirdly.....let's try not to quote the entire OP
Thanks @Araltd for your suggestion.
After desperately finding a solution for mine, I finally opt for the one provided by mlkemac (https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/s7edge-g9350-qualcomm-english-hk-rom-t3429535). It works perfectly and rooted.
However, it is in Marshmallow, and Nouga is missing me already. So if someone got his version to work, any suggestion is welcome.
I'm ready to clean everything and begin again if needed. I'm ready to flash any working rooted Nouga rom if it is required.
Thanks

Is it possible to root, just to switch out the verizon sms app for the stock sms app, and then unroot, keeping the app?
I just realized that there's Nougat for G935U and none for G930U. LOL
Question
If I rooted my edge this way and I want to factory reset cause my playstore won't work do I have to flash anything after I reset? Just wondering because I'm far from my pc

I believe it was said a few posts back that the U firmware can be rooted, look back a page or two.
If you want to reset, do the reset before rooting obviously. However, you will need a PC to obtain root - please read the OP.

For me, it's a no-go on the latest U firmware (G935UUEU4BQD2). My device is 935T.
I was on G935UUEU4BQD2 and flashed the Eng boot (S7edge_Qualcomm.tar). After the reboot, it was in Samsung logo for over 20 minutes... Had to reboot to download mode and flash the U firmware with T-Mobile CP (better radio - QC1) to get back to the system. Bummer!
And, yes, I disabled "com.samsung.sprint.chameleon" before flashing the Eng kernel.
Anways, U firmware is pretty awesome and very fluid and no lags whatsoever. Since I am a flash-a-holic, I thought of giving this root method a try but didn't work for me. Ah well, with the help of Package Disabler Pro, I pretty much disabled everything. Except Adaway, I don't really miss root now and that's a positive thing

I have the same issue with fingerprint not working. I have a 935T but on the latest U firmware and fingerprint sensor not working
I have a fix for the fingerprint scanner not working. Download the attached zip and replace the respective libs in /system and reboot. Make sure permissions are -rw-r-r-- (644)

I replaced them and set permissions to rw-r-r but still doesn't work. Any ideas?
