Hi All,
I am looking for the best way to root to determine what is causing battery drain (awake). Basically needing to determine the best method of rooting the A2017 I have determined several methods but actually haven't seen much feedback on peoples experiences flashing this particular build. The current build I am running is A2017V1.0.0B07.0 (was purchased for Aliexpress) I have found this thread below:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/wip-axon-7-root-bootloader-unlokced-t3441204
How ever looks like people are experiencing bricking as a result.
I have then come across the below method which looks like it hasn't been tested on unlocking the bootloader for the A2017 model
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/recovery-official-twrp-zte-axon-7-t3515715
I am getting further and further confused about which method is correct and the best plan of attack?
Any help would be appreciated
I'm having the same difficulty.
Hello, I would like to know if you got any satisfactory answers, or discovered some method for this cell to have better battery life and better usability, thanks for the help!
I have the Verizon Galaxy Tab 4 (SM-T537V). Can I root it? I have searched quite a bit but cannot find a solution that includes that model number. Does anyone have a solution and or suggestion?
Thanks in advance.
Just going to revive this thread briefly to make a point--it seems that this community has either failed to effectively bypass the Tab 4 10.1 Verizon LTE's protections which prohibit root access and unsigned roms from being flashed, or no one really cares about this variant at all. This consensus is based on the reading I have done up to this point for this particular device.
Perhaps there is a legitimate working method to root this device on the current firmware, but it must be buried in an unintuitive location somewhere on the internet.
For those of us who own this device and wish to have a non-bloated and fast experience, the truth is we are all unfortunate at this moment in time It's a real shame...
HI. I have a question regarding my s7 edge on sprint (SM-G935P) and to whether or not anyone has found a stable rooting method for it. Im somewhat experienced in this kind of topic as i have rooted my phone multiple times and have found success but all methods resulted in a very laggy phone. So im not new to this but could use a little more knowledge. From what i know, the root methods used to root the snapdragon models of the s7 and s7 edge are using ENG Boot and in result, that's why devices are not as stable as they are on stock firmware. Because of locked bootloaders and from my understanding, there is no way to root without a laggy phone. Unless you were to unlock your phone, there's no way of rooting without lag? Also, from what i gathered up is that you can convert a SM-G935P model phone to a SM-G935U. G935U is the unlocked firmware? If so, if i try to root will i keep the sprint service? I may sound silly right now but im posting this to better understand if any one of you have found a rooting method which eliminates all lag or as much lag as possible. If there's is nothing i will probably be better off sticking to my stock s7 edge like i have been for awhile now. I have found this though and im curious to know if this has anything to do with my post?

It depends on what version you are using at this time. That U root only works if your sprint phone has a binary version of 4, sprint updated the binary in December. That makes all sprint S7E phones that received that December update unable to root as they were updated to binary 5. To find out what what binary version you have, go to setting and about phone. Look for the updated version (it should start with G935P), The 5th to the last number will have either a 4 or 5 on it. If it has a 4, you can root it, if it has a 5, you cannot root it. The U root will work on all American phones as it is programed for GSM and CDMA phones. You may lose all those "awesome" sprint apps when you use the U root flash.
I am very curious on this issue also. I just moved from Colorado to Wyoming and Sprint does not offer unlimited data roaming, so I want to unlock and maybe transfer services to another company, AT&T and Verizon are the two that seem to provide direct service here. But the rooting issue would be a possible huge advantage, maybe....

Ok, ive scoured the internet and got conflicting results. However, Im not a pro, and it appears you have the low down on the current root status. So here is my question for anybody that can help. I have the Sprint S7 edge (SM-G935P), and Im pretty sure Im on the number 5 bianary, so it appears that Im stuck. But please clarify, does this mean that there is no way to root my phone period? What if I dont go to the "U" firmware? Or better yet, isnt it possible to rollback to a different firmware, to marshmallow or something, and then go from there? I heard you can roll back if you have a "pit" file or something? Can anybody offer me any way to get rooted? Im sure I can follow the instructions if I can find any, Ive rooted plenty, but so far I havent found any options. Thanks.

Sorry I didn't get back sooner, I don't go to the sprint part of the forums as much anymore.
At the time, the U Firmware was the only way you could get root. The root method has changed but it still requires the same or lower binary version than the rooted rom. If you are binary 5 and the other ones are 4 you will not be able to root. From what I've seen so far, verizon and the U firmware is still binary 4. What makes this worse, is once you are on a higher binary version, you can no longer downgrade (I've tried during bricking). I have tried a pit file with a non sprint phone and could not get the phone to downgrade either.
Right now you can either wait and see if they upgrade to binary 5 and root then, or you can get an unlocked verizon s7 edge and get root. Both are not the greatest of options
It gets worse... Getting root on a newer phone is not like the older days. I am rooted and all I can use is an altered stock rom. Because the bootloader is locked you cannot use custom recovery and roms like lineage and crDroid. So even if you get root, depending on what you want to do, you will still be limited.

Me too. I'm fed up with not having root. I not having a easy tether for wireless (BT is too limited) I has cost me on several occasions. I am actively looking for a new phone.
This entire phone is a step backward coming from the Note 4. I lost battery changing on the fly, reliable root / roms, and hotspot, and etc.
Sprint logo change
Hi
I have sm-g935p , s7 edge sprint
I want to remove sprint logo
How to do it
Mine shows up in stock recovery as g935PVPS5BQK1 . anyone know exactly which custom recovery and root method for this is? If I'm in right area then that's fine for me I'll continue as is but just wanted to make absolutely sure before I carry on.
Sprint
I removed the logo but I had to unlock the cell phone
I've just bought a cheap used P585M. I've trying to look in this forum if it's possible to root it, if there are custom roms for it, etc, but it's impossible since every time I search the model name, it shows me threads for other A6 models instead. So here are my questions:
What's the go-to tutorial/thread for safely rooting it?
Are custom roms from similar models compatible with it? If so which ones, and will I lose anything other than LTE? Will the stylus and its pen pressure still work?
What even is the difference, if any, from P585 to P585M?
edit:
I've found the answer to the first question: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...covery-official-twrp-galaxy-tab-10-1-t3473023
Hopefully I won't brick it.
pretty much gave up a long while ago but now I'm stuck with this phone since I'm not able to find another one I could flash a custom OS in aside from some xiaomi ones, and those are also a pain to deal with when it comes to modding stuff.
Saw some posts around the internet saying it was possible to root this phone and something about reverting to Nougat but I'm confused as hell. So if there's any actual guide to root this phone that works I'd appreciate the help
Seeing as it's a Snapdragon device, most likely not. Samsung devices with Qualcomm SoCs are typically not bootloader unlockable, and unlocking the bootloader is required for rooting or flashing custom software.
I see.. well that's disappointing
seems all the versions being sold here are the american ones
