How to root the S7 EDGE

[noobiedev83]

Download a kernel tweak app from playstore like kernel auditor or trickstermod and change the governor to ondemand. It will help with the lag

Damn much better thanks, no lag after put the kernel ondemand hope I don't get random freezes and reboots!!

I tested it all last night and all morning before I posted it working for me. So you shouldn't have any problems. At least I havent

This is awesome news! Thank you! For anyone in the know, after root, if you re flash pd8 in Odin is the pd8 boot loader restored?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Root for ALL S7 QC models

wish there was a way someone can make a oneclick root method for the tmobile s7 edge because it sounds pretty hard to do this whole method with flashing adb and odin

Here's a complete package for ALL S7 QC models with clear instructions in the ReadMe file.
Also, made a Root.BAT mod which should disable the "Security Notice" and FOTA (test and report back).

Big thanks to PrinceComsy, Br3w3r, and Chainfire for making it all happen.

Just flashing isn't going to add anything, you need the APk to load it up. Flashing just gets you the framework, the APk is the manager.

Thanks to the OP for putting all the information together. I however seem to have hit a snag. When I flashed with Odin, it went to a black screen with a pulsing blue light.

I think I am hard bricked.
No hardware button response. So I cannot get back into recovery.
The driver that is showing up says QUSB_BULK.
No ADB or FASTBOOT access.

If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated.

Whilst blue light is pulsing keep power, volume up and home buttons pressed. If that doesn't work try just volume up and power kept pressed. Also try plugging the phone power adapter in and doing it.

It's highly unlikely you're hard bricked but not being able to remove the battery is a pain.
