1- Like always enable your Debugging. you can enable that by going to your Settings -> Application -> Development
2- Install the android SDK . you can download it Android SDK
3- Extract the SDK to any folder, Example : C:\Android
4- Make sure you have the drivers installed- In that way your OS can talk to your phone!
now that everything is installed we can go ahead and perform a command :
1. Open the 'run' dialog by pressing the 'Windows' + 'r' buttons on your keyboard (minimize the browser & other non-windows programs) 2. cmd (this will open a DOS prompt) 3. cd c:\Android\tools (go to the directory where you extracted the SDK) 4. adb shell 5. Now you'll see just a '$' 6. logcat
You can now just press the power button on your phone to see what happens. It displays everything the device is doing.
So the thing is: leave your device connected for a while and see what is actually going on when you're not using it. Boom

Extract to c: for sure it makes it so much easier, once in the location of platform tools (use the address bar for quick copy and paste) copy and paste its location without the c: on the front. Then open CMD, type cd for change directory them paste the location of adb platform tools. Press enter. It should say Android sdk windows something or another lol. Now you can type "adb devices" and hit enter. It will then find you're device. When you have gotten to the point of a problem then type adb logcat and it will spit forth information that is somewhat beyond me but our dev will do fine with it. Right click and select all then then copy and paste into a note pad. Send the note pad to our dev.

i was on alien....had the super force close issue twice. wiped date 3 times...then returned to stock and updated to the 2.3.6 via silvers zip. and have no issues till i tried the 14 panel toggle and forgot to paste the systemui in before i deleted it...but thats my bad.
i have not seen anything that was permanent yet.
i hope yall get it worked out, i would hate to think that a rom can cause damage that can not be reversed.
dagnabit.. lol my phone just rebooted and had a million force closes. i restored my nandroid backup earlier and have been runing the 2.3.6 ota from att for several hours and it just randomly did that and i can even use it every time i reboot just get lockup and force closes. tried to restore nandroid and cwm says cant mount sd card. so weird i think it might have something to do with the ota. im about to odin stock
I'm sure that it is not irreverseable. Downloading stock.tar will Report back

I'm glad you wrote this up. I performed root the exact same way. I still don't know anything about adb, sdk, shell, or whatever. But this way is truly rooting for dummies!, and totally without a PC. I also used rom manager to download my first rom that i flashed. But then downloaded a new one. I plan on using dcupdater for new updates.
This should be a sticky. Rooting for dummies! No PC required.
Sticky this for all of us root wanting fools that have no sense of adb.
This is sooo what I just posted, only you have photos of the recovery screen.

Sure, here you go.
Woot, will be doing this soon.
I hope a 100% Senseless rom comes out.
Thanks for this method with all the images. But, I have been trying all night to gain root. First using Toast's version and adb, and now with your method on my sdcard. Using either method, I never get to a screen where I can choose to update, in step 2. I have the searching for PC36IMG.zip, with the blue progress bar, but it dumps me into this screen:
HBOOT
<VOL UP> to previous item
<VOL DOWN> to next item
<POWER> to select
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
HBOOT USB
I've downloaded the file at least twice, but I get the same result. I also flashed the stock RUU between trying Toast's version with adb and yours from the sdcard.
Do you have any idea where I went wrong? Also, is your update.zip Clockwork? (Just curious.) I'm not a complete beginner at this, as I have a Hero and was able to flash custom ROMs to it...
Thanks for any help you can give.

This is happening to me too.. Though I think it's because I'm already rooted? I did go through Toast's method and looks like I'm rooted, wish there was a way to tell. Also If I load a ROM then check ROM manager to see which rom I'm currently running, nothing is there -just blank.
Settings, About phone, Software information will tell you if it is rooted. Look at build number, should be Fresh Evo 0.2 by flipz or whatever ROM you used.
Mine says Fresh Evo 0.2 but during the root process it skips [8] TP and bypasses [9] TP, wondering if something is wrong with the root process? Also my sd card seems to have lost all my backup data and when I connect to pc it says my card has issues. Do I have a problem?
Did it, worked 100% easy.
Thanks man.
Are you supposed to be able to open (explore) the PC36IMG.ZIP file through Windows? I have downloaded it 12 times from 4 different places and the message says the file is invalid. I haven't put it on my SD yet, this is just on my PC.
Edit: Well, I tried doing the update to root with the downloaded PC36IMG.ZIP file and all I get is a non-rooted wiped clean EVO after it does the update.
Can someone please download load PC36IMG file "now" (not try a previous version) and see if it corrupt and also see if you can open already downloaded one through windows as a zip file.
Thanks....

I think that's what I have too: "a non-rooted wiped clean Evo." I never had the prompt to say yes to update or yes to reboot. I'm not a total n00b at this. I was able to successfully root and put Fresh's ROM on my Hero. I thought maybe it was adb drivers, but I can use my Evo in disk mode, and run HTC Sync. (I have no use for HTC Sync.)
I'd love to try d/ling the file, but my dsl is down. I've spent the last 2 hours troubleshooting it and arguing with Qwest. They've finally agreed it might be their problem and are coming out to fix it. I NEED root so I can us WiFi tether!

I just tried to open my pc36img.zip file off my sd card, the one that I used to root and it says that it's inva'id. I think it's because it's not really a zip file. The one your downloading is fine.

Automatic updates and create update patches with wyBuild.
After hours of trying to figure out a way to make Mast3rpyr0's batch files work correctly, I noticed it had problems sending certain commands. So I decided to use some of his batch file codes, and create a VB.NET application along with batch files. I have unrooted and rooted my personal phone multiple times trying to get this to work. I tested the app 3times!! Each time Unrooting my phone! All three times its has been successful!
What exactly does this do?
Exactly what it say, Root your EVO in 3 Steps.
How do you use it?
Make sure your phone is on USB Debug mode. (MENU > Settings > Applications > Developement > USB debugging = Checked ) Click the buttons starting from Step 1.
Why the large file size?
This includes all the .img and .zip files that are needed to root. (2 PC36IMG.zip @ ~ 170MB = 340mb) and a couple of other smaller files. I decided to add them to make things more simple and avoid having to explain where to get these files.

Note: Its recommended to flash a custom ROM. Reason I say this is because for whatever reason, the eng-image doesnt allow proper SU permission!!
Requires: Dot Net Framework 4 and HTC SYNC
I would try it if I didn't fully root yesterday. But props to you guys for putting that together. Seems like a one step jailbreak. Very nice.
WOW! Great work. This will unlock NAND too? If so you might want to update your thread title....
jiqqaman said:

FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS!! IF IT SAYS DONT MOVE YOUR MOUSE, DONT CLICK ANYTHING, DONT TOUCH YOUR KEYBOARD... THEN DONT!!!!
The reason for this is because for some reason a batch file cant send the command
Code:
adb shell cat sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
The only way I found to get around that was using Sendkeys. I know, send keys is lame, and poor programming, but its the only way that I could get this to work.
Basically, Sendkeys sends keystokes to a targeted window, as if you were typing. You might see your keyboard NumLock, Caps light blink while this is being used, which is perfectly normal. (Enjoy the light show)

That's because the windows shell interpreter parses the redirect as belonging to the Windows system, not the android system. So it's trying to redirect the output to c:/data/flash_image or some such nonsense. Since Windows doesn't do / for it's directory structure, but instead uses \ it gacks trying to find the directory to put it in (which would be wrong even if it worked, since it would be on your hard drive, not the phone). You can change the cat line to this:
Code:
adb shell cp /sdcard/flash_image /data/flash_image
and it should work just as well. Anytime you use a redirect in a batch script like that it's going to try and redirect to Windows. If it wasn't my day off and I wasn't so tired I might figure out a fix for that, but the code I posted above should do the trick well enough. I wasn't sure initially why people wanted to to read the file into another one in the first place, but I did it with cp when I rooted and it worked fine. I suggest testing it, and then possibly changing your program. That way you can get rid of sendkeys and people breaking root by clicking something when it's running
this is amazing. too bad noobs like myself could not wait to root and unlock nand. but the process was well worth it. great job, i hope this save someone a headache

Hi,
If I do this method will I be able to load custom Roms following these steps? I found these on another site and I am a noob so this one step thing would be great for me to get my feet wet...but the whole reason I would root is so that I could try another ROM...
Here are the steps I found...earlier it said I needed adb and sdk tools so I'm not sure if below will work if I don't have that installed on my computer.
Choose a ROM you want to try. Download it and save it to your computer (do NOT extract it, leave it as a .zip)
2. Plug the phone in via USB cable and mount the sd card so we can transfer files to it.
3. Copy the ROM .zip file and save it to the root of the sd card (NOT in any folders just on the sd card itself). Once it is done copying, unplug the phone from the usb cable.
4. Turn off the phone, then turn it back on by holding down Volume Down and Power until the white bootloader screen comes up (if it finds the PC36IMG.zip on your sd because you didn’t delete it, just say NO when it asks you if you want to update). Now using the volume buttons select Fastboot, then select Recovery and wait for the phone to boot into recovery mode.
5. Scroll to Wipe Data, select wipe data/factory reset and then select wipe dalvik cache.
6. Now scroll to Apply .zip from sd card and select the ROM .zip file we saved to the sdcard and wait for it to finish flashing. Once it is done, hit reboot and you are all set! Enjoy!
OP theres an updates restore image much better options from armon .02 works for people who have bad sectors ALLOT of us have
but 01 is for those who dont try that first

1. The program includes adb, just download, unzip and run Simple Root.exe
2.Yes you will be able to install custom roms after you have completed the all the steps.
3. Those are not complete steps, but its sorta on the right track... have you done the first part of root?
great job on making this easy guys.... To bad I couldnt wait longer than a week to root.

Thanks for the quick reply. No, I am a new EVO owner and this is my first android phone. I was an iPhone user but I have come over to the Android side. No regrets. I have basically a new EVO with the OTA update installed. So my goal would be to run your one click method and then learn how to load roms. I also read that people have some kind of rom loader on their phone that sounded pretty easy so I need to do more searching on the forums here so I can learn.
Ken
This would have saved me 3 hours....
Thanks dude though this seems awesome.
Videos are titled "Hero 4g" btw.
Part 1 worked for me but part 2 doesn't. When I click yes on part 2 I get a screen that says "Unhandled exceptin has occured" and it gives me a option to continue or quit and I click continue and it closes out.
Does this method work if I already have the .6 stock rom on my device?
Obsolete: Go HERE: Unrevoked's reflash Root/Recovery flash tool
attn1 said:
This will root the device and allow you to install things like wireless tether.
Edit: I can connect to wireless tether, but it's not routing to anything and takes forever to get an IP address. Once I get an ip address, I can't even ping the gateway. I suspect further AT&T foolery. I am working on it.
Custom recovery is a bear to get to. You can however, get to custom recovery, and we can flash custom roms.
For the most part, I used the root method and files from the MT3G root procedure. However, I could not get the adb to read my in recovery until I used my gold card. Many failed attempts before, and it pretty consistantly worked afterword. I suspect the difference was the SD card itself, and not that it was a gold card, because it makes no sense that a gold card should make a difference. Both cards were 2 gb Sandisk cards, but the one I used was from a Hero, which was what I used to make my goldcard to root that.
Folks, the MT3G method works. This isn't mine, I was just the first to make it go on the Aria.
Here's eugene's "How to Root the Slide thread"
Eugene, Koush, Modaco, ChiefzReloaded, brokensanity, the EVO Unrevoked team and many others, on behalf of an awful lof frustrated AT&T Android fans, thank you.
The Unrevoked team has more info here if you get stuck.
Update:
Instead of slideroot.zip and superuser.apk, you can just flash my rom. (See next post in this thread).
That includes root, busybox, superuser.apk and strips AT&T applications & brings the ROM much closer to a generic HTC sense ROM.
Check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6909467&postcount=1
Once you have root (either by pushing slideroot and installing superuser.apk or skipping those and installing my rooted ROM) do yourself a favor and check out this thread: Unrevoked team: Recovery reflash tool (updated - Now for Aria/Liberty!)
Once rooted, you don't have to do the adb chase anymore; you can now flash custom recovery with the tool in that thread. It works!

Installing a custom ROM and loading Clockwork Recovery on an unrooted HTC ARIA.
Installing a custom ROM on Aria/loading Clockwork Recovery on an UNROOTED HTC Aria.
(like mine, found here: ROM Liberated_Aria)
This method is borrowed heavily from eugene's MT3GS root method, using Unrevoked exploit.
OS X/Linux Users: remember to preface abd commands with ./ (./adb)
We now have the ability to flash custom recovery on the phone! (Thanks to the Unrevoked Team)
PREREQUISITE #1: You must have the android sdk installed on a Windows machine and know how to use adb. Alternatively, you can use a *nix/OS X box if you don't mind verifying devices without the loop to watch.
PREREQUISITE #2: Download Clockwork_Aria_MT3GS.zip
Process:
Format the SD card supplied with the phone like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7029045&postcount=283 (Thanks Yoshiofthewire) in a card reader if at all possible.
Copy your new ROM zipfile to the root directory of the SDCARD. DO NOT name it update.zip. DO NOT unzip it. You must flash the zipfile later.
Copy the contents of Clockwork_Aria_MT3GS.zip to the tools directory of your SDK, along with your ROM zipfile of choice.
Power up the phone, holding down the VOL-DOWN button.
Wait about 30 seconds, until some diagnostic checking is done.
Press volume down to highlight recovery, but to do not push power to execute just yet.
Open a command prompt and navigate to your SDK tools directory.
Start the loop.bat file and let it run. (Optional if you don't mind running adb devices until the decide to show up).
Get ready to connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable, but don't connect one end until you read the next step.
This part is a PIA and it's critical, and it's inconsistent and therefore may take quite a few tries to get it right: Pushing the power button first and then approximately one second later plug in the USB cord. (Think ONE THOUSAND ONE-PLUG)
When the triangle/exclaimation over phone graphic appears, hold volume up and press power. This will bring you to stock recovery.
If this works, your loop running the adb devices command will list the device. If not, start from the beginning from power up. This can take a lot of tries, be patient and don't give up. Not all SD cards will work reliably.
Once devices are listed in the loop, hit CTRL-C to terminate the loop if you've started one. Hurdle one complete.
In recovery, use volume down to select Apply sdcard:update.zip and push the power button to execute (This will fail, but it's enabled write access for me.)
adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip and press the enter on keyboard to execute. (No - that's not a typo)
If that pushes without error, then enter adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip but do NOT press enter.
In recovery, again scroll down with power down to select sdcard:update.zip but do not execute yet.
Press the power button and then watch phone to say "verifying" and then press enter IMMEDIATELY on the keyboard. If timed right, Clockwork recovery should load. If not, start back at step push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip and repeat from there until clockwork loads.
Optional: From Clockwork Recovery, do a Nandroid backup.
From Clockwork Recovery, select install zip from sdcard, and execute, then choose zip from sdcard and execute, and then you can scroll down to your pre-rooted rom of choice and execute that to flash it. In Clockwork you can scroll with trackpad or volume buttons, and you can execute with either the power button or a trackpad button push.
If you get stuck trying to get Clockwork to load:
Try a different sdcard and start again from the first step.

The Unrevoked Team has more info here: http://www.unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php?id=public:adb_in_recovery
On a rooted Aria, do yourself a huge favor and install Clockwork Recovery. See this thread: Unrevoked team: Recovery reflash tool (updated - Now for Aria/Liberty!)
Also, enable installation of non-Market (untrusted) apps (sideloading):
COMMON:
Start the phone normally.
Enable USB debugging (settings > applications > development > USB Debugging)
Leave the phone running - do not reboot to Clockwork.
adb remount
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db
Linux/OS X:
echo "update secure set value = 1 where name = 'install_non_market_apps';"|./sqlite3 settings.db
WINDOWS:
echo update secure set value = 1 where name = 'install_non_market_apps';|sqlite3 settings.db
COMMON:
adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
Reboot phone and sideloading works. (thanks to fluffyarmada)
When I get a chance, I'll figure out how to do a proper menu toggle.

Thanks attn1 and whoever else worked on the Aria. Awesome job.
very impressive!
Remember I told you I had a feeling it would work!
Oh and whenever went into recovery during the root process after running the loop did you actually select recovery from the menu or did you use the other method we talked about in that other thread?
What is the procedure for removing the bloatware? As I said in the other thread, this will be my first endeavor into the Android market and I hope this is not a stupid question.

Thanks Opiate, but so far, just one person has confirmed. I only asked to get general census on how well its going for everyone.
I trust the op too.. but still, for some of us... this will be our first 'rooting' a android. I love the phone way too much to screw something up.
I followed the instructions on the 'Root the Slide' page... But I must have done something wrong... because I still can't su. And now I can't get adb to detect the phone in recovery mode. Hmm...
Everything seemed to work though... this is strange.
And, yes, USB Debugging is enabled. I'm trying to re-do the whole process, but I can't get the phone to show up on adb.

Sure. Once your are in clockwork, you can do a Nandroid backup. You can always restore that.
How did you get this to work?
Even with a fresh gold card I am not seeing an Offline Device

This is not the easiest root I've ever done. Read the MT3G thread carefully, especially the last few pages. Getting adb to work in recovery takes some patience and some retries.
Loading ota.zip as update.zip and then switching with update.zip as the file is verified also takes time to get just right.
It's a PIA, but it's doable.
Very new at this kinda lost. Got my first android phone trying to figure all this stuff out. Is there a complete idoits gudie to this whole process. Btw loving my little android.

Clockwork-mod recovery for Motorola XT530/531 and XT532.
Code:
You've already messed up with your phone.
Now if something happens don't point your finger to me.
All I can do is to laugh at you, as loud as possible.
So always keep in mind that you do changes by your choice.
Thank YOU
After 7amdoun's successful finish on fixing bootmenu bugs, I proudly present the easiest way to have bootmenu on these phones.
First of all check out that you have all the things required :
1. A Motorola XT530/XT531 or XT532.
2. Must be rooted.
3. If you don't know how to root. Check out here [Thanks to 008Rohit]
4. A PC.
If you are done with above things you can proceed further.
There are two ways to get bootmenu on your device
First
Steps are very simple :
1. Just download "Bootmenu_v2.0.2.zip" and extract it.
2. Double Click "Bootmenu Installer.bat"
3. And follow the onscreen instructions.
Second:
[Special thanks to andrewidya for making the .apk]
Either refer to the installation video made by andrewidya
OR
This is easier way, you ought to have busybox installed:
1. Download the "Recovery Installer_1.0.apk" file from the attachment.
2. Install it on your phone.
3. Open "Recovery Installer" from App drawer
4. Tap "Install Recovery"
5. You've CWM installed.
You are DONE
Congratulations, You are now having Custom Recovery in your phone.
Using Bootmenu:
Turn Off your phone.
Switch on the phone. While you see the "M" logo the soft buttons leds will light up.
Be quick enough to press the Volume down(-) button as you see the leds being lighted.

1. Dump your recovery
2. Go to builder.clockworkmod.com
3. upload the img there.
Have some tea or coffee and it will get ready soon.
Download the files and you are done.

Here's a slightly improved bootmenu (with one important variable fix for the XT530).
Try selecting 2nd-init in bootmenu and tell me what happens.
BTW, are you able to unmount /system partition once you load CWM?

There is a manual option somewhere in CWM to unmount /system. Try it and see if it works.
Also, using the new bootmenu I uploaded, try selecting 2ni-init and see if phone boots normally (without ADB).

I also tried it before . It didn't worked. The phone gets stucks at bootlogo

BTW, andrewidya figured out how to get the normal OS to boot without ADB , he needs some time.
And he is building installer script for bootmenu
Edit : Why people are not able to boot in bootmenu? Have I done something wrong?

Hey Guys
All your wait is over.
Here I'll tell you how to get CWM for Moto Fire XT.
Disclaimer : I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone. I have tried it and finished successfully.
Try only if you know little bit about android.
Required things
1. Rooted Fire XT
2. Pc
Download these things on your phone:
1. Terminal emulator
2. Busybox(Open it and install)
3. Root browser
4. Pimp my Rom
You can find all of them in the Play Store.
If you have done with it download the attachment.
Now main work.
It is not easy though but I think everyone can do it.
Steps:
1. Extract the attachment and copy it to your sdcard
2. Mount /system as RW.
3. Open Root Browser and copy bootmenu folder from sdcard/XT530 and paste it in /system.
4. Open /system/bin and locate to logwrapper
5. Rename it as logwrapper.bin
6. Open Terminal Emulator and type:
Code:
su
ln -s /system/bootmenu/binary/bootmenu /system/bin/logwrapper
sync
exit
exit
7. Open Pimp My Rom and Add universal init.d support.
8. Copy /sdcard/XT530/97bootmenu and paste it in /system/etc/init.d .
9. Change permissions of 97bootmenu to rwx r-- r--
10 . Reboot your phone.
Now your phone will start at bootmenu.
Select Recovery>Custom Recovery
PS: If you want to get back the phone to boot normally. Just connect it to PC, open CMD and type
cd path-to-adb.exe
adb shell
rm -R /system/etc/init.d/97bootmenu
exit
adb reboot
I succeeded here's the video:

after d last step when i rebooted...my mob booted as normal...it didnt show any recovery mode...
Ok everybody I think 97bootmenu is the problem.
Solution :
Create 97bootmenu manually.
Steps:
1.Open /system/etc/init.d
2. Create a file, name it 97bootmenu.
3. Open the file as text
Type:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
stop
exec /system/bootmenu/binary/bootmenu
4. repair permissions.
5. Restart your phone and tell me the situation.
how!?

CONFIRMED WORKING ON XT535 currently backing up Via CWM. Backup complete. Problems are: have no backlight in CWM. when scrolling down with the volume keys the text moves across to the middle. Many thanks guys! info: /system/ is not manually unmountable in CWM, and selecting 2nd init on recovery, the phone hangs at the boot. Be sure to check correct permissions mine didnt work the first time because of perms on 97bootmenu

Don't forget to change the permissions please.
Caution when modifying your phone, although you can revert 99% of issues you may come across, be cautious.
I take no credit other than compiling info and making a guide. All credit goes to http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4911585 (br3w3r, Chainfire and Princecomsy)

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)
1- Put your device in to download mode ( Power off--- Hold Down arrow + Home + Power button)
2-Open the provided ODIN and where it says "AP" select and open the file "Samsung_G935x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR" -- FLASH it--
3- The phone should now reboot
Installing SuperSU
easiest way to put it for flashing su.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLvRuzQMPLk
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
For anyone that needs the complete firmware from Sammobile:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935T/
I also attached the root files necessary in the zip file here.
BUT... you also need to unrar it. Stinking forum set the zip limit to 20MB for zip files but it zips to about 23MB.
Rar limit is 8MB but in a rar it was reduced to about 18. So... rar'ed it up, hid it in a zip.
Will this work on PC8? That's the one I'm on.

No guts, no glory. Try it and let us know. Root hasn't been out but for a couple of hours so it's hard to know for sure. Make a backup with Smart Switch and try it out! My guess is that you shouldn't have any issue.
If anyone has disabled any of their apps, make sure you re-enable them.
If you get stuck at the white T-Mobile screen for longer than 5 minutes then reboot back to stock recovery and factory reset. Sucks... but some of us had to do it. Afterwards, it should boot fine.
By the way... HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!

A Windows machine with administrative rights to install device drivers are required.

How would I boot back to stock recovery?

That's for compiling the info.
Might be a good idea to add a list of builds it's been confirmed working on.

Switch your Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 edge completely.
Boot into Galaxy S7 recovery mode by pressing and holding Volume Down, Home and Power keys at the same time.
Release all three buttons when Samsung Galaxy S7 screen flickers and you see a warning sign.
Press Volume Up to continue to the main screen of Recovery mode. Or, press Volume Down if you aren’t sure and want to go back to the normal mode.
That’s just about it!

Yes, specifically the root.bat is Windows based, but you could read the .bat and figure out how to do it in linux. Either way, yes.
Worked flawlessly with the guide. Thanks for compiling it
Edit/Update:
I am getting the same lag that others have reported previously. One thing I'm seeing that stands out in logcat is Secure Storage Daemon throwing warnings and then an error "Kernal binary has been changed. Please use the same version of platform/kernel binaries"

So just followed the guide? Do I need anything else? I just follow the guide and download what the guide says? Do I need to turn my phone off? Do I need a specific app on my phone for anything? Sorry for the questions

If you follow the guide, you'll have everything you need and there wouldn't be any questions needed.
I guess more specific to ask, where are you getting hung up?
On a windows machine:
Download all the files listed and get them installed
Follow the instructions (boot phone into download mode, put adb folder into c:\, rename the SuperSU folder from the zip archive to "super" for easy access, execute the cd's and then execute root.bat)

It's in the guide.
Please just read the guide and understand it before you move forward. Ask what you don't understand from the guide so that the writer could make it more clear if it's needed. But what you just asked is literally written clearly with what to do.
Damn can't wait to do this and install xposed only got another hour left
