Caution when modifying your phone, although you can revert 99% of issues you may come across, be cautious.

Well, root has been achieved on all of the variants. All the information is spread, therefore I will compile it.
It is confirmed working for the G935T/A/ (All firmwares so far) can anyone verify it works for Verizon?

MAKE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR PHONE, YOU MAY NEED TO FACTORY RESET AFTER FLASHING THE ENGBOOT FILE. ( MAY BE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE DISABLED SYSTEM APPS)

2-Open the provided ODIN and where it says "AP" select and open the file "Samsung_G935x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR" -- FLASH it--

1- make sure you have the adb toolkit installed( place it in the root of the "C:/" drive. Mine is "C:/adb"

2- place the superuser folder you downloaded in to c:/adb and rename it "super" to make things easier

3- open the command prompt. Either search for it or press windows key + r and type in "cmd"

4- once cmd is open, navigate to the "super" folder. To do so type cd c:/ , then type cd adb and finally type cd super

5- type in root.bat

You should now be rooted.

To remove the security warning, use a package disabler like titanium backup and disable SecurityLogAgent

NOTE

For those having lag, heat, and battery drain issues. Try doing this.

I had those issues on PD6.

What I did was, ODIN'd a factory PD8 file and rerooted, then I used KERNEL TOOLKIT and changed to the ONDEMAND Governor, next I increased the CPU(small cores / and large cores) to max FREQUENCY allowed and reduced the min core frequencies to the lowest setting. Be sure to apply settings on boot so they stick.

The phone is very fast now.

I disabled the KNOX packages and tmobile package.

It fixed 95% of my issues, im even running xposed

paid off last month, got an unlock code, went to verizon and it wold not recognize their network because the US versions lock out the other network protocols, ATT = GSM, Verizon = CDMA. They do not unlock this aspect. This is in the ROM they have installed so either you stay or you pay.. I have now been waiting two days for AT&T to send a new unlock code because when I put in a new sim, it does not even ask for an unlock code and AT*T said for some reason it was never completed, like maybe an attempt to keep my income. That is why I want to flash the "U" version, the phone can do both, the carriers insists that the phone simply is NOT compatible when in fact it is, just locked down via software. I know I will never buy a carrier supplied anything again.

Once you have unlocked the network from ATT, all you have to do is flash the non-customized "U" firmware below, which will work fine on both GSM-LTE and Verizon CDMA-LTE signals (as long as the network is unlocked).

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

Are these files still available? If so can a new link be added since Dev-Host is not longer being used?

[rambooze]

I Cant access the root file, it redirects me to xda no longer supports devfiles or something, can someone please share the files needed please I need it asap

 

[Mr_Ada]

You should now be rooted.

Nope. I guess this "tar" file was for an older version of the S7 stock ROM to work? I have the latest and it was giving me grief.
