Here's how I ROOTED Nougat on my S7 Edge G935T

[Soldier_Rocks_08]

Just wanted to let everyone know that this procedure still works with the ATT latest update, G935AUCS4BRC1 with the March 1, 2018 Security Update. Installed the Update and rooted the phone after that. Still works great. No sluggish operations, but will have to wait for a couple of days for the battery report.

Did you use the method from the first post?

Yes pretty much. I used the eng.img from the first post and then used the Quickvic-Craz_root.bat. Worked just fine and no problems. Just make sure you let it sit for as long as possible (1 hour) after rooting. Let it settle.

Good luck.

Do you have a link to that root. Bat?

Stuck on "setup connection" any ideas?

Sorry took so long to get back to you. If you haven't found the root.bat yet, here's the link to the one I use: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bygh6W_e2Fo5Vkk1bURVaHdKbzg/view

Hope this helps...

I can't call or send messages after root.

Build number/Security Patch?

I flashed the stock rom (nougat 7.0) mentioned in the first post with Odin but since the phone rebooted I already received 9 software updates from the mobile!!
Every time the software update finished and and the phone reboots the phone Is connecting to the server and automatically downloading another software update !
(I already downloaded and installed 9 updates ranging between 32 - 336 mb).
IS THIS NORMAL? OR SHOULD I FLASH A DIFFERENT ROM?

Has anyone tried to apply this root method to the BRD1 baseband version yet (e.g. G935UUEU4BRD1 for S7 Edge)?

Thanks for the info. How's the battery life on BRC1?

Not bad at all. I can get around 24 hours on a full charge and that is with normal use all day. Phone calls, texting, navigating, email, etc. About the same as I was getting before. Pleased with the performance and battery with this update/root.

I'm interested in this as well. Just flashed to this firmware and haven't gotten the ENG boot image to flash properly. It'll flash but after booting to the home screen, it'll reboot a few seconds later.

Can't remember what build I was on but I had the December 1st security update. Updated to BRC1 with the March 1st security updates. The install went smooth for the most part. Used odin patched version to brc1. But the patched version failed to install the eng kernel so used the original for that. Performance seems better compared to past rooted builds. Samsung account keeps logging out? I feel like this happened on a past rooted build but I can't remember how I fixed it and haven't had time to read the comments here to see if someone has a solution. Will report back on issues/battery life/performance/etc.

Download titanium backup and wipe data for the Samsung accounts app

I figured that out. Thank you though! Such a good community here.

Has anyone tried updating to BRC1 excluding the AP file and using the home csc? I know I can update and then reroot flashing the original engineering boot tar (as stated above) but I'm feeling lazy heh.

I've flashed my phone probably ten different times in the last couple of days and don't want to go through the trouble of setting things back up. It took me a while to get to the combo of files and firmware to a point where it was stable and not dropping root or getting the binary is occupied issue.

Actually, eff it :laugh:. I'll try to upgrade and report what happens. If it gets stuck on the Samsung boot screen (like I think it will), I'll have to do it again anyway.

Also, thanks to all who've contributed to this thread. Until a couple of days ago, it had been many moons since I flashed the last custom rom on my T-Moblie G1.

I had roughly the same problem after flashing the current no carrier G935UUEU4BRD1 BL, AP, and CSC firmware files and the T-Mobile modem CP file. Got stuck on the Samsung boot screen.

edit: So I got it to root on BRD1 with the AP left out and a Home CSC file and it was pretty stable for about 2 hours. And then it rebooted on its own and got stuck at the samsung boot screen and eventually lost all its battery life and turned off.

But then I happened upon
https://xdaforums.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/5-12-17-stable-method-g935u-bqd2-quick-t3605516
And it seemed to worked for BRD1.

Thanks to @qwewqa for finding it and @purotijuana for doing the steps.

I started from a fresh install of all the SM-G935U BRD1 non-carrier using the T-Mobile CP file instead of the non-carrier version (from https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935U/) and let it sit for an hour to settle.

Bought the Package Disabler Pro and wiped data/disabled the Chameleon package. It is com.samsung.sprint.chameleon but it showed as 'Chameleon' in the list. So search for that instead of the actual package.

Did a wipe of cache (have to leave system to keep the package disabled), then flashed the engineering boot and got it to reboot, and then let it sit again for a bit. I was able to use the Samsung_G935_QC_Eng_Boot_Root_v2017-08-29.TAR with no problems this time.

Then I ran the Samsung_Security+OTA_Disabler_(BillA_v2018-01-01).BAT from @billa (thanks!) and then Samsung_G93x_QC_CF-SU_v2.82_2018-02-01_SSU+MGK.BAT from @jkruse (thanks!) with the fingerprint fix and a CPU governor tweek, and then the SU (since Magisk doesn't work with the locked bootloader).

File links for the engineering bootloader and the security and root bats are at https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75418504&postcount=2527 along with @billa's steps.

Then wiped cache again.

Everything looks good so far. its been sitting for a couple hours with no reboots.

I'm not sure how stable it is or what the battery life looks like. Its 2:30 am and I need to sleep now. I'll post another edit tomorrow.

Second edit: root is stable so far. I shut the phone off overnight so I could watch it.
No reboots in the last 6 hours.
Root is staying rooted.
Phone has zero lag so far. This BRD1 firmware is excellent.
Battery life is pretty good. It's dropping about 3% per hour with CPU governor set to on demand. I played around with the other governor settings and none made any difference.

Over all I'm very pleased.

It's Knox making it reboot, run the root.bat asap after flashing eng to remove it

And that camelion app should be removed as well with the root.bat

Buying and using Package Disabler Pro is complete waste of time and money, since I have already posted a completely free and much better security disabler / un-branding solution. Seem like people don't search and read anymore... oh well...
