G935V Root Method. No Lag! No Heat!

ars18 · May 24, 2018

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OF YOUR ISSUES! ALL I CAN DO IS RECOMMEND A GOOD PSYCHOLOGIST!

Hey guys. Stumbled on this by accident. I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHY IT WORKS, BUT IT DOES. THE METHOD HAS BEEN TESTED BY ME AND A FEW OTHER PEOPLE HERE ON XDA. ENJOY!

Got the Ufirmware files from this post on xda.

Download G935U ODIN Firmware
Thanks @MafiaIlluminati

Download PrinceComsys Odin

1. Flash all firmware files. (I was already rooted with ENGBOOT so I checked "Phone Bootloader Update" in odin).

2. After that, flash the engboot.

3. Root. Download the file below.

Then follow this method from @jrkruse. (Just the root part).

4. Flash the BL file in the BL slot from the G935U firmware with odin and make sure to check "Phone Bootloader Update"

Congratulations! You are ROOTED WITH NO LAG!

I installed XPOSED. However, I didn't remember which version I used. Thank you @rlewis312010 for reminding me.

Thanks @rovo89

Install Via the app. After reboot I suggest a force restart. If you still cant boot, clear cache in recovery. You should be able to boot up fine. It can take 5 to 10 minutes, so don't panic.

If you gained from this, I'd appreciate a hit from the thanx button. I just started here on xda. Would make me feel good

I'll try this method one of these days and see what happens. Btw: You posted about the Edge in the Flat forum.

Oh. Sorry. Should I close the thread? How do I do that

My s7 edge is now fully rooted with Ufirmware and I reflashed the stock BL as Arse18 suggested. I am very happy with the performance of the phone while rooted! It is super snappy! I did a benchmark test before I obtained root on this device. I will post these scores along with the newly rooted scores soon for comparison after I install all my apps on the phone.

The only issue that I have is loss of the fingerprint sensor. When using JKRuse's root.bat, I chose to use the finger print fix when obtaining root through the program. However, the fingerprint sensor does not work now.

Can somebody direct me to a fix for the finger print sensor? In the meantime, I will go back and read through the entire thread to see if I can fix the issue myself.

Another successful test!

Ars18,

Does your fingerprint sensor work?

Not sure, I'll check.

Wimmer4Archery · May 27, 2018

Fingersprint sensor works just fine. I had chosen to not install the fingerprint fix by accident the first time I rooted the phone. I have since rerooted the phone and made the correct choice this time.

Yes, I'm an idiot!

I tried this yesterday and yes, the lag is completely gone. I have yet to see any issues doing it this way. For whatever it's worth, I downloaded the latest G935U firmware: G935UUEU4BRD1. I had no issues making that work. Unfortunately, I didn't take screenshots of Antutu, so take this with a grain of salt:

before: 104948
after: 151326

I have all cores underclocked the same in the before and after. If you leave the clocks at stock speeds, you should see better results. Just wanted to say thanks! This should give a lot more life to my S7 Edge.

Enjoy!
I agree 100 percent that there is better results with speed and battery without CPU governers.
Honestly though, this phone still can't beat my g900v s5 running crdroid ROM. Speed and and battery is insane.

Yep, I recently had to wipe one of my S5's and return it for credit, so I could get in on a Note 8 deal from Samsung. Was still quick, by any standard, even on TouchWiz. Certainly even better with a custom ROM.

The battery life with G935U firmware is marginally better with the bootloader reflash, but I have not even debloated yet or tweaked anything beyond the basics with L Speed & Kernel Adiutor. Looking forward to getting this fully tweaked up with all of my previous battery savings. Still, it's so much smoother than just with the EngBoot, that even if it didn't get any better, it's still miles smoother and more enjoyable as a daily driver.

matt1285 · Jun 6, 2018

So am I correct to assume this root method is root without the actually engboot file in the phone...is the battery life the same with stock or just slightly better than the previous root method...im already on bra1 u firmware...do I have to flash anything prior to rooting this...can I flash Roms and still maintain better battery life or will I lose root

hella356 · Jun 8, 2018

Does this work on the flat 930T T-Mobile S7?

Leoo4 · Jun 11, 2018

So, does it work for s7 flat? or just s7 edge?
I'm asking because of the link to the ufirmware part.

Thansk in advance.

Doubt

By following this method to root my Samsung G935V from Verizon would I lose the latest update Android 8.0? Can you confirm if everyting works?

Mauricio9523 · Jul 10, 2018

Hi @ROMAD27. I do own a SM G935V S7 Edge from Verizon. I am looking forward to do this process to gain root access on my device however I don´t quite understad all the steps I need to follow. Can you guide me through. Thanks

By the way Android 8.0 is now installed on the device. Would there be any conflict?

toyotajon93 · Jul 18, 2018

Does it trip safetynet?

wpg9210 · Jul 20, 2018

Will this work for the S7 Flat?

I'm sorry, but could you explain the part with the Nougat_S7_Edge_EngBoot.tar.md5 file, how do I use it with Odin?? I´m kind of a noob, but I've flashed my phone before, but it gets hot and laggy sometimes.... Thanks
