Can anyone confirm or deny the engineering bootloader works or not on Nougat beta?
Move to QA sorry mod..
The current eng kernel does not work as it is for 6.0 (marshmallow) not 7.0 (nougat) Sorry!

I'm sorry but you've been told many times that it doesn't work so I don't understand why you had to make a new topic to get the same answer.

Have you tried to flash it? I started the thread to discuss options, not just the first question. I really want to hear from someone who REALLY tried to flash the engineering bootloader.

I tried it and it will not work as @CyanideHD already said. The phone will just bootloop because the rooted kernel is for 6.0 and not 7.
Since it is a beta, it wouldn't surprise me if there is another engineering kernel available, just not leaked yet. I wonder how the original was found.

So, you really don't want correct answers by knowledgeable folks that know without trying sumpin stupid, that firmware needs a matching kernel,
Now can you tell us what you REALLY want to hear?

This is uncalled for. You could have just shut your mouth too. What value did YOU add?
How is me asking a legitimate question, that I could not find the answer for grounds for me not to procreate and call me a fool. Troll on douchebag.
And I mentioned the engineering bootloader, you really think I dont know about kernels? I was compiling them since redhat 2.0, all the way back before X.
I didnt ask about the kernel, but thanks. These kids need to stop wetting themselves, like we in the S7Verizon thread have so much to talk about, you couldnt stand a new thread.
Thank You MisterXTC and CyanideHD, I do value your advice.
You're quite welcome

Many people told you and explained to you in the Nougat beta threads that it will not work yet you continued to ask when you didn't get the answer you wanted. You were no longer asking a legitimate question when you ignored the answers that you didn't want to hear and kept asking anyway. There might not be much to talk about on these boards but when you ask the same question over and over even after hearing the answer it really is just unnecessary. No one was trolling you, no one was lying to you and no one was hiding any information from you.
It sincerely boggles my mind that you ignored everyone who said it wouldn't work in the other threads. I wish there was a way to achieve root on Nougat but currently there is not and until someone far more capable develops a way, there will not be one. Continuing to ask about the engineering kernel will not help, neither will ignoring other people who are more knowledgeable than us on the subject.
You have been told multiple times that it will not work and that there is no root method for Nougat. Getting upset and offensive towards others will not help you by any means so please wait patiently as the rest of us are.
Also, Nougat is currently in closed beta. Until it is released there is almost 0 chance there will be a root for it. This thread would be more useful after it has released fully.
I wonder if the same vulnerability is in the nougat beta kernel, if so I wonder if that could be used for root on nougat. I doubt it is still available but worth a shot for those already on the beta.
I didn't get a response in the other thread so I started my own, quit being a baby about it.
Mod shut it down, the gods have spoken, not a place for questions. I forgot.

To be fair, you got several responses in the nougat thread. And if you didn't see them, its because you didn't read...
There is nothing wrong with asking questions, and its encouraged once you've attempted a brief search to make sure the question hasn't already been asked and answered. However, to ask a question several times in a thread, have that question answered by several people then start a new thread asking that SAME question, is looked down upon and for good reason. Just because you didn't get the answer you wanted to hear doesn't mean your question wasn't answered...
You've been around longer than I have, figured you'd know this.
Tell me kind sir, why would I want to hear what I want to hear? So I can get the worst possible outcome? I was asking TO hear an answer. I apologize that I didn't see the response, or maybe didn't validate someone who said 'wont work' with a post count of 5.
Thread closed as the OP has his answer and the thread has devolved into flaming.
Just a quick reminder:
5. Create a thread or post a message only once.
As a large forum, we don't need unnecessary clutter. You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer, revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time so it might take a while before you receive an answer.

Forum rules, please read!
There seems to be a significant amount of animosity of late in the Android related forums. I'm not certain as to why this is, nor do I want to hear any reason for justification; what I do know is that it is unacceptable.
XDA is about bringing together folks who have similar passions about mobile technology. As the forum is accessed worldwide, you will encounter all types of folks from different walks of life; some of these folks will be extremely technical, others not. In all cases, it is the responsibility of all members to remain respectful of one another. We all have different opinions, we do not all have the same level of knowledge, and some folks are looking to feel like they are learning while trying to contribute.
Show maturity and professionalism by responding with helpful and constructive information. There is absolutely no reason to respond in a rude tone or to make someone feel stupid ... it is not constructive and serves no purpose.
I would remind members that the best moderation is self-moderation.
Forum rules, please read!

Sounds like you were trying to revert back to stock. I assume the stuff you are talking about is yellow. If so try to use odin again.
The obvious question to me is, did you try Odin again after it failed? Logic would suggest that if Odin failed I'd have to do it again.

It is because of your tar file on odin.it was two small.try re odin ing it with a tar file of 255 mb or something like that.happened to me before too when I was a super noob but fear not you'll eventually become less of a noob too as time passes

Using google first saves you time because its an immediate response, it saves everyone else time having to an a simple question, and it saves our forums from being cluttered. I said nothing rude and I would have answered his question had it not already been answered (which I highlighted with my quote and saying "this"). If you want to respond to my adult advice and response by acting childish, that is your prerogative but I will continue to post help to those who made an effort to get it.
thats i guess meh cool but a simple reply/explaination would have been "flash odin again" instead of repeating the long rant over and over again too. maybe its jus best to leave this place altogether

Maybe before voiding your warranty and messing with your $500 phone you should do some research and be prepared for the plethora of things that can go wrong.

I believe his point was, however, that before one starts an endeavor that can break a piece of $500 hardware one should generally make sure they understand all of the possible outcomes and how to deal with them which he pointed out that you didn't. He could have said it in a more polite manner but he was correct.
I have ben to this screen when my odin got interupted. Pull the battery for a couple minutes. Hold down the one key on the keyboard and then power on while holding it. This puts you in download mode. Odin back to stock.

It appears I have one thanks or maybe I cant count. More than likely since I dont cry about wanting thanks that could be it. The purpose of a forum is to get help. Regardless if the answer could be found on google the forum would not need to exist. I am on one forum and it is the most mature forum there is. I see question repeated over and over again. Even in this case people still answer it like it was asked the first time. If all forums were like that, forums would be a much better place.

I do not understand why it is difficult to simply search for an answer. If you cannot find the answer, then post and people will help. As I've stated I do very often provide detailed explanations to people even to those who had not searched for the answer however I always add that in the future they should seek out the answer on their own first. His question had been answered and as such I stated that he should try and figure things out on his own. I have never begged for a "Thanks" and I could care less about them but I have spent hours of my time helping others fix issues and there are many people who can attest to that. Leatherneck has done the same, in fact he has even helped me a few times that I can think of in recent history. On the other hand, the only posts I've seen from you are complaints about other users or asking other users for help. The point of these forums is to allow a place for developers to gather and together fix and hack away at new phones and such, not to aid in every little personal disaster. That is why it is a FORUM RULE to search. A rule for which violators can receive infringements or even bans. By telling people to search, I am not telling them to shut up I am showing people how to be an active member of this community and if you cannot grasp that then your place here is very limited.

Would like to see what progress is being made and if there is any way to know "are we there yet" before we get there.

It's a yes or no question. The answer is no. You are asking for a maybe, when it's a no. If all the threads say it's unrootable, what makes you think making another thread will change that fact? Read the following if you want to know why:

Root mostly comes from sources off of XDA. Very few attempt solutions in threads on XDA because of the constant "are we there yet?" posts. Most developers work in private chats.

You say my post has no value, yet when I say your thread has no value, suddenly I'm an ass? Such hypocrisy. Not only does my post it address all of your questions, your theoretical maybe and your question of remaining the same for all eternity, it does more.
Even if this thread is "useful" to you in terms of information, not only have I provided you with sufficient theorycrafting which makes perfect logical sense (feel free to correct me if I am wrong), but you are looking for updates to a yes or no question, therefore, you are not providing any usefulness to those developers who may (yet very unlikely, see my links) still be working on root. Rather, you are bugging them. Your thread is useless, you only see my post as useless because the permalinks weren't working, which I fixed. Yet you still reply, and obviously didn't read the post because that post answers your question that you asked me after.
Also, you posted in the wrong section, in which, your thread was answered multiple times. Not only did I respond to you with valuable information, I originally said nothing about your faults. The moderator has moved your thread and has given you the same TL;DR answer I gave you. So you are still asking for a maybe to a yes or no question, which is currently no.

Your last reply is the only one which is slightly helpful... Odd you make snarky comments then get offended when others do the same. I didn't ask if it is rootable ( which would be a yes/no question), I asked something else. Your premise the post required a yes/no answer is a misunderstanding of the question. Clearly you don't know the answer, and that's OK. Why piss and moan about me not liking your snarky comments. If you're going to dish it, be ready to take it.

There is nowhere for you to read about the progress of developers working on root for this phone because if it is being worked on, the work is being done in private chat rooms which you won't be able to access. That is because they don't want to be bothered with the exact kind of "Are we there yet?" questions you are asking in this thread. And I will reiterate what has already been written in this thread. It is highly likely no one is working on root for this phone now, and it is highly unlikely anyone will be working on root for this phone anytime in the near future. You may not like the answer you are getting, but it is the only answer to your question at the present time.
This thread is as close as you are going to get to what you are asking for:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...lausible-to-jtag-to-rewrite-unlocked-t3184952
And the OP in that thread is technically not working on root for the phone, just an experimental and risky thought on a way to bypass the locked bootloader.

Root mostly comes from sources off of XDA. Very few attempt solutions in threads on XDA because of the constant "are we there yet?" posts. Most developers work in private chats.

And that thread has 2 people having a discussion better left to dm, yet they continue. They're getting nowhere fast over there.

He likes ignoring facts too, but I answered this in his other thread about petitioning for the FCC to unlock the bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62406501&postcount=4
or as quoted here:

Which would nullify his entire thread of him trying to brick to unlock the bootloader.
Considering he's having "issues" bricking the phone... he doesn't have enough knowledge, just free time on his hands. He's probably going to just waste time soft bricking his phone.
But there's a simple logical explanation. If you have to unlock the bootloader to write unsigned code, i.e. a bootloader/custom rom, how would writing an unlocked bootloader work? That's like asking, how do you get the key to unlock a safe (if the key is inside the safe) so you can get your money? Replace a safe with an unlocked one? What happened to the money? Edit: on second thought, this is a slightly bad analogy, replacing the safe would be like getting the unlocked dev edition, but it still should get the point across.
He may as well just try flashing all the developer edition roms to his non dev phone (Note to new people: DO NOT do this), because those are all "unlocked firmware", exactly what he's trying to do.
He seems bent on arguing semantics, which is why I went back and forth with him but eventually stopped in his petition thread. But he's not rude like this guy, he just has a mindset that says, this is what I feel the answer should be, so it should work no matter what.

STOP POSTING START READING!
I've answered your questions already.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67798689&postcount=313
Do NOT start a thread when your questions have already been answered!
As a matter of fact, read this too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=5278 (Specifically #1)
I'll be reporting this thread to be locked now. Good luck.
PS
I'm going to give you some advice. Do NOT root. You have NOTHING to gain from it (besides perhaps your volume mod.)
But your phone will run hot, slow and might even lock up. You might not even be able to restore it.
I will NOT help you any further because you fail to read.
Just leave it alone. It works and that's all you need. Don't even try to continue because you will mess something up sooner or later because you cannot find information for yourself. All it'll take is one member to give you wrong information or for you to miss a step or misread/misunderstand something and your phone is done. Garbage. You don't want that. So I say again, leave it alone. Please and thank you.
Relax buddy I made this so that us noobs can get help without messing up others post relax all I'm looking for is little and no aditude I get that from my wife lol
Thanks for answer those questions
I have rooted with no issue before pg1 had no issues fixed everything by reading here and asking few questions I went back to stock because I couldn't get my private photos and videos to work and I got update and came here for help that's all and only reason I quote you is because you seem smart and fast to respond.
Thanks

I am very relaxed. You did not make this for "noobs" because there are already threads and guides in place to help. I have never spoonfed another member with the same answers to the same questions more than you before. It's redundant and really not necessary to post your question more than once. Which you do. Then instead of reading the answers, you post a new thread with the same questions that I have already answered. You're simply wasting my time. Then you tell me to relax. What? I'm not giving you any kind of attitude, I'm giving you aggravation because you're constantly breaking forum rules, exhausting resources, taking the forum for granted, wasting the time of our members and then have the gulls to tell us to relax. However, if I did have any kind of attitude against you, I'm certain that anyone would blame me. I hope that I don't see another thread posting a question from you again unless it is something really original. Please search and read before posting from no one. Please and thank you.
Come on guys...
I am on PG1 and will be rooting again today. I will let you know how it is and also with Viper4Android installed.
I was on PD8 and he's right, it was overheating until I changed the CPU speeds and governor. My battery would drop so fast I could sit there and watch it go down. Lots of people are saying the new update gives them 9 hours screen time, so we'll see if its any better rooted.
The root method achieved so far is not good. It uses a ENG boot and causes way more issues for the phone than its worth. Unless you are a heavy modder and a experienced rooter its really not for the every day users. My advice is to NOT ROOT and wait for a better true root method to surface. You will just run into heat issues battery issues and a whole bunch of lost functionality.

Please keep the forum rules in mind when posting:
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting or creating a new thread. Whether you have a question or just something new to share, it's very likely that someone has already asked that question or shared that news.

5. Create a thread or post a message only once.
As a large forum, we don't need unnecessary clutter. You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer, revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time so it might take a while before you receive an answer. (Also refer to Rule 16)

Hi, I'm running B03 Oreo, and was wondering if there was anyway to remove the bootloader unlocked message? I have TWRP already, but the device is encrypted so it might make things a bit harder.

Who made you ruler of XDA? He who is also infamous for criticizing. He who believes he is above the rules, blames others for his troubles, and continues to be disrespectful to users, devs and moderators. He who holds the record for bans both on XDA and on telegram. He who can't read a thread without posting some worthless comment in it.
runninghamster has the freedom to ask and he has the freedom not to post an answer. This does not break any rules. You preach about the freedom to say what you want all of the time, so you should be able to understand that. Even though the things you choose to say are against the rules and get you banned.
If you feel you could find the answer, or know the answer, then be helpful and post a link or give advice. Your post does nothing. Only trying to start another one of your meaningless fights that you have quite the reputation of doing.
