DISCLAIMER: I WILL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE BY USING THIS METHOD
Warning: this will only work with the older firmware (Android 6.0.1/1BEBFDB1 )
What this will achieve:
You will flash a modified boot image that runs selinux in permissive mode.
You will flash a custom recovery that allows you to root the device.
After you are done, your userdata will most likely not be encrypted anymore. You can re-enable encryption in the system settings.
DOWNLOAD
1. Install the usb drivers that come with the device, in /system/etc/USBDriver.iso.
They are also in the download package, in USBDriver/.
Run Setup.vbs.
Also install SUGAR QCT_SP v11.1.2 Setup.exe from the download package.
2. Connect your device to your computer and boot it into EDL mode (enable usb debugging).
adb.exe reboot edl
3. Run SUGAR QCT_SP (use credentials from download package), select VF1400 device and click on the upgrade button.
It will download the latest official firmware update into "C:\Program Files (x86)\SUGAR QCT_SP_Gotu2\bin\VF1400-2AVXXXX" (VF1400-2AVDDE1, for me).
After the download is done and the flashing started, make a copy of the VF1400-2AVXXXX folder to your Desktop.
4. While the flashing is going on, we can start to modify out copy of VF1400-2AVXXXX.
In it should be a folder, most likely called 1BEBFDB1 (version number of the update).
Inside that folder should be the .mbn files we care about: B1BEB0B0CD00.mbn (boot image) and R1BEB0B0CD00.mbn (recovery image).
Possibly they will be called differently, but I assume the boot image always starts with B and the recovery with R.
You can check "C:\Program Files (x86)\SUGAR QCT_SP_Gotu2\tool\logs\Sugar_XXXXXXXX.log" to make sure which file is which.
Replace B1BEB0B0CD00.mbn with boot.img from the download and R1BEB0B0CD00.mbn with recovery.img.
5. After the flash is done and the device rebooted, put it in edl mode again (after enabling usb debugging).
adb.exe reboot edl
6. Now, *before* we start SUGAR QCT_SP again, copy the VF1400-2AVXXXX into "C:\Program Files (x86)\SUGAR QCT_SP_Gotu2\bin"
7. Start SUGAR QCT_SP, select VF1400 device and hit upgrade.
Congratulations! After flashing and after the next reboot you are running with selinux in permissive mode and you can flash SuperSU from the recovery.
Now copy the latest SuperSU flashable zip into your internal storage and install it from recovery.
The recovery used is CM-13.0, device tree based on https://github.com/zwliew/android_device_xiaomi_land
Being compiled with prebuilt kernel from boot.img.
Works great! Thank you
Cool! Thanks alot!
Hi fused#1,
thanks for this, have you tried to install Xposed on this device after rooting it?
Best regards,
misterfx
Hi,
i've now tested and installed xposed.
You need this files: xposed-v87-sdk23-arm.zip, XposedInstaller_3.1.1.apk and for safety the xposed-uninstaller-20160829-arm.zip.
Install the xposed-v87-sdk23-arm.zip with recovery, after reboot install the XposedInstaller_3.1.1.apk.
Best wishes,
misterfx
TWRP recovery
Hello.

I wonder if someone have manage to install TWRP recovery.
I mainly interesting of NANDroid Backup i can take with TWRP recovery.
How can i do that?
Thanks at advance.
Hello,
is there any way to get ntfs oder exfat support on the vodafone tab prime 7 ?
at the moment, it is original, without rom changes.
Hi, I tried your guide today, but it failed at flashing the alternative bootloader and recovery. System was not able to boot anymore after flashing the second time with your altered files.
Display only showed "powered by android" and nothing else happened. Luckily I found out that you are able to switch back into EDL mode when this happens:
- Shut down device (disconnect any cable and press power until display switches off)
- Press Vol+ AND Vol- for about 10 seconds and then insert USB cable
-> "powered by android" label flashes up and then display goes black and voila you are in EDL mode again
---------------------
Here comes my question:
Is it possible that your bootloader and/or recovery are incompatible with latest FW version? Could you have a look at the current bootloader and recovery to get selinux in permissive mode again? I attached the original bootloader and recovery that was downloaded with SUGAR QCT_SP.
Hi,
quite possible.
I wasn't even aware of the new firmware version. Obviously this only works with the old firmware. I will make that clear in the original post.
What firmware/android version is it? Maybe I'll look into that today or tomorrow.
Cheers
edit: I'm not even being offered the new firmware. Can you upload all of it somewhere?

Hi,
it seems there is again a new fw, files named like R1BEJ0J0CD00.mbn, with security patch level of April 2017. A user flashed this with the root-patch, but he has no wifi anymore.
Thanks for a update
Best wishes,

The procedure works, but I can not install from Supersu.zip recovery mode. I tried many versions but I always get this error:
E:filed to veryfy whole-file signature

I don't think this is compatible with the latest update for the device. If you are running thatthat could be the reason. It's possible they updated the radio firmware or whatever the **** it's called these days...
Hi fused#1,
have you a hint, i've now a 2nd device with the old fw (and saved old firmware files), but sugar_qct always do a update and downloads the new firmware... is it possible to flash the old, saved files?
Update: got it, renamed all old fw files to the new names, copied they to the new created directory (replaced new fw), and sugar_qct installed the old fw with the new file names.
Thanks,
MrFX
Hey misterfx,
can u do an tutorial, how u did it to flash the old fw?
I tryed many things but he doesnt accept the old files (and i dont know the new folder-name).
Would help many guys i think, thanks ^^
Hi,
you can download the new fw with sugar_qct (but while downloading, unplug the tab)... you now have the new folder name and the files inside it.
Rename ALL old firmware files (from backup) to the new names and copy they to the new fw folder and replace all files.
Then exit sugar_qct and start it again, it will find the "new" files... make upgrade.
Good luck,
MrFX

Hi I install one application (host name changer) and restart the phone and it stop working. Stops at HONOR screen. I enter to bootloader, open multi-tool and change recovery. Unfortunately bootloader not eorking ok, because when I wanted to upload IMG files to unbrick the phone, I get the error in Multi-tool. I decided to format/clean all data (I use CWM recovery and later also TWRP recovery). Again uploaded stock recovery and try use 3 buttons. Unfortunately installation start and after one second failed.
I also try to use QTADB to upload updata.apk but it not working - there is problem with bootloader. Also Minimal ADB not working - doesn't see Honor.
How can I upload / install rom now?
Is it possible instal ROM from external SD card? I try but on external card (using CWM) I see no files?
You can't use other recovery than the stock one to use 3 buttons. If the phone is not recognized by adb I'm not sure if you can restore it.
I used 3 buttons with stock recovery, and installation failed.
Did you replaced build.prop and local.prop with the original ones before 3 buttons?
Las night installed B310 without any problems.
I did not replace build.prop and local.prop because I install some other app which - I guess - modify build.prop and this is why I have that problems. Afert I reboot phone it brick on HONOR loco and Minimal ADB do not response. When I connect USB cable and enter to bootloader the PC see the phone, Hisuite start but can not connect. So I have problem with bootloader - it does not response using Minimal ADB. Onlu Multitool lets me change recovery. All I can do now is enter to recovery, bootloader, change recovery (only with Multitool), start install ROM (using 3 buttons) but it failed immediately.
Try to install stock dev rom 4.x.x
4.x.x roms have not prop checker so you can install them via 3btns
But how to upload this rom to HH? All I can do is using Minimal adb (not all function, but sometime I can use pull and push functions);

Put it on a SD Card?
If you can enter fastboot and your bootloader is unlocked you can try to flash the system.img via fastboot. But since you have CWM it shoul be unlocked
Finally the Multi-tool stoped responding (I couldn't upload img files to unbrick - there was an error).
But suddenly the Minimal ADB started responding, and I uploaded build.prop and after that I flash recovery.img, system.img, boot.img and cust.img.
Thanks for help.
The following is irrelevant. Just to share.
I messed up honor 6 plus once. It booted then it permanently hanged. Black screen, home launcher does not respond, no navigation bar. Power button worked with the options to reboot and power down.
Before I messed it up, I have unlocked the boot loader and flashed cwm and rooted by install zip.
I tried to fix it by cwm wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik but that did not help.
Later I found that I was able to boot into fastboot mode and managed flashing back stock recovery. Then I downloaded a full stock ROM, decompressed the dload and copied it to root of a sdcard. Then I applied three finger update. It worked and fixed the problem.

Well to set permissions you must use either root explorer or ES filexplorer, personally I use the last one with root privileges on.
after you move the files to correspondent folder you need to click on it for a few seconds and then go to properties/permissions and check only left column all 3 and middle column the first from above.
As for stock recovery go to the thread of Honor multi-tool, there you have how to and were to download stock recovery.

Download the stock rom for your phone model (tl-10) official one, NOT beta version, better directly from Huawei web site.
Extract stock recovery from downloaded file (by using huawei extractor app).
Using ADB commands, flash stock recovery. Then copy stock rom to sdcard and proceede with 3button procedure.
If any of these operations sound new to you, please use "search" button in these forums.

I have downloaded from Huawei web site 120sp04 firmware. I extracted recovery, flashed with adb commands. Copied the stock rom to sd card, and i am not able to force my phone to start update. keeps restarting. is the a special trick for this 3 button procedure? phone should be off, but from bootloader i cannot switch of the phone. Is it possible that the phone doesn't recognize my SD Card? please advise.
Please check, there' s a command trough ADB (I think adb reboot) wich reboot phone.
Then, someone, has been forced to keep the SD card NOT inserted into the phone, waited for reboot and then (after huawei logo I think, but I'm not sure; please check) inserted the SD card.
Then proceede with local update (forced method).
As for the 3button method, simply press and keep pressed volume up+volume down + power on button. All togheter.
Then the phone must boot automatically into recovery and start the procedure itself.
It i clear: stock recovery MUST be already installed !!!

The only thing what i can do is, to flash recovery and boot from fastboot.zip( http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/help/5-1-to-4-4-2-bootloop-t3132888 ) i guess for L09 version, where i can get to update mode with 3 buttons...all other possibilities are not possible. even if i extract from original firmware recovery and boot images, nothing work..i was going from B125 back to B123 to B128 and B313 when in TWRP i deleted everything. Phone is charging, i can turn it off..OS is missing..is it possible that somebody would make a back up in twrp and i would flash it on my phone? or what version of firmware i should start with? what about sideload? does it help? please advise.

Hello!

Check if you can mount system. Or if you can wipe system, because i can't
Good luck!
I have a nexus 5 16 GB and i downloaded the recent software update android 6.0.1 and then I decided to root and I used 'Nexus root toolkit v2.06' and first unlocked the bootloader and then rooted. Everything worked fine but after the process was complete it was rebooting and the booting animation went on and on for many hours and the device did not root. I really don't know what's going on. My purpose is to install a custom rom: cyanogenmod 12. Now what should I do ???? PLEASE HELP. When i try to enter recovery mode it shows a picture of the android mascot with opened back and exclamation and cannot enter command as well. and after some time the booting animation begins and goes on and on...
please help...

Unless something has changed, version 6. requires that you flash a special kernel before you can root your phone otherwise you are as you are now, stuck in a boot loop. You should probably download the factory image from Google, and then flash the system image to get rid of what you have done.. Perhaps then your phone will start normally

Also, you mentioned a 'special kernel' what does that mean. All i want to do to my device is install cyanogenmod 12 and for that i believe it needs to be rooted, so i am really confused. What should I do know
I'm having this same problem, and unfortunately, when I start the phone on fastboot, I can not access the recovery mode in order to upload a factory image of nexus 5.
I used the new tool available her for quick flash, and now, I don't have a phone.
First, don't panic. Your phone is still very easy to recover. Unfortunately I can't get you a complete walkthrough here (for now at least), so I'll give you the main idea and you'll have to do your homework (as maybe you should have done before).
1. You need to get fastboot working on your computer. It's included in the Android sdk package, but there might be some easier way to get it. Google it. You might need drivers for your pc too. Google it as well.
2. Then you need to get into fastboot mode on your phone. To do it, hold down power button AND volume down button until it gets into fastboot mode. You will see an android on his back with the cover open. At this point, connect your phone to your pc, open a terminal on your pc and type "fastboot devices" without the quotes "". It should find your phone if fastboot is working. If it doesn't work go back to step 1.
3. Download TWRP recovery on your pc and place the img file in the same folder as your fastboot executable (not mandatory but easier). It can be found here https://dl.twrp.me/hammerhead/
4. Always in fastboot mode, type "fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.1-hammerhead.img" assuming you downloaded that file, which you should have by the way. It should install fine. If you haven't placed the file in the same directory as your fastboot executable, you will need to provide the path to your img file as well.
5. Then use the volume rocker to switch between modes and choose reboot recovery.
6. You should now be in TWRP recovery. At this point, download a custom kernel (anyone found on xda for hammerhead should do) and push it to your phone. It should be fairly simple with TWRP. Then flash your new kernel using install. It should help you get your phone booting normally. Alternatively, you can download a custom ROM like cm12.1 and flash it altogether. It will install everything needed for your phone to boot up too. Beware if flashing a ROM though, I strongly advice you to do a factory reset before flashing it. You will find that option in the wipe menu.
Hope it helps, let me know if you need further assistance.
Yesterday, I have tried everything to have my computer to recognize the "fastboot" command, and I installed like 2 or 3 different programs for that. With my old Windows 7, I have been able to push a flashed image to fix this issue, using the fastboot command, but with Windows 10, it's always telling me it's not a valid command. I'll keep trying it, otherwise, i'll have to "resurrect" my old Windows XP computer.
Also, I noticed now that, while trying to install the fastboot, as per some files that I could download, but no file has been copied into my computer, not even if I run it as admin.
fixed. but no RECOVERY mode options....
Hi Guys,
Thank you very much for the help, I have finally recovered the phone and running android 6.0 MRA58N but it is not rooted. Now if you don't mind could you teach me how to root because i have checked lots of videos and tuts but none worked for me...
IMPORTANT:
when i am in recovery mode why cannot I access options even when i press volume up + power button and release them at the same time...????
Thanks in advance.
Just flash a custom recovery via fastboot. Just make sure your bootloader is unlocked. Can't link though.
hi guys i have used nexus 5 mobile with cyanogenmod 14.1 .It worked properly in 1 year. after that suddenly switched off and it not properly boot up .i try to switch on my mobile , first it show google with unlock logo properly and when it show cyanogenmod logo it stuck and again show google with unlock logo....i try recovery mode to wipe and flash the same rom ....the process is interrupt at middle stage and again show the google..i try lots of time . after few try that process finished completely without interrupt. then use my mobile 1 day same as i used first time root. after that same problem occur on my mobile ..so help me guys

Hey there,
first of all I want to say Thank You for this great community and the work at XDA. Awesome. :good:
I bricked my Honor 6 H60-L02 and I am lost to bring it back to life. :crying:
Where it started:
I was using the official ROM from this thread [OFFICIAL] Honor 6 (L02, L12, L04) Stock ROMs. To be more specific it was the latest Android 6.0 EMUI 4.0 B823 that I installed with all the different OTA-Files starting with the original 5.1 ROM B535. The Honor was rooted and also the bootloader is still unlocked (I already checked the status via Fastboot.).
After I while the Honor 6 started to crash sometimes and the headphone-buttons didn't worked anymore. Then a few days ago the phone crashed and I was not able to boot it again.
And so I tried this:
Using the Rollback-Zip to go back to 5.1. But the 3btn-method didn't worked. The phone didn't want to boot into the recovery. Also the Vol+ and Power-Button didn't work to start the Recovery of the phone. Result: Bootloop.
So I installed ADB and Fastboot (with all necessary drivers) and tried to flash the phone with the 5.1 B535 (as mentioned in Honor 6 H60-L02 Hard Bricked - Only access to fastboot (Vol+ and Usb PC)) because there isn't a 6.0 B823 ROM available. I was able to flash boot, recovery, cust, system, userdata and another one I forgot right now. But the result was the same: Bootloop and no 3-btn or recovery via Vol+ and Power-Button. I also tried to flash it with the HonorTool. Same result.
Then I tried to flash different TWRP versions as recovery. Result: The same as above.
So I tried another official ROM 5.1 B526 because someone had the same problem and was able to recover his phone with this ROM (another thread in the forum). But that didn't worked ether.
Then I tried to flash all the img-files of the 5.1. B535 as crc, ptable and so on because I thought that there could be the problem. But when I tried e.g. to flash crc I get the error FAILED: command not allowed. So I tried to unlock the phones partition via Fastboot and fastboot flashine unlock_critical. But using the command unlock_critical gives me also the Failed error. So I was lost again.
Status right now:
I'm still able to boot into the bootloader via Vol- and Power. But right now the phone was running out of battery. Means I see the red battery symbol when I try to start the phone via the power button (without connecting to the PC or charger) but it isn't booting even into the bootloop. The red battery symbol pops up for a second and the screen went black again.
When I use the charger then the symbol changes to a green battery and stays there, but not the moving one that indicates that the phone is charging. When I use the Power button with usb-charger connected to start the phone I'm trapped in the bootloop again.
You see I already tried a lot of different things I could find on the forum. But nothing worked for me.
I know that it was a fault to try to install 5.1 B535 without the rollback, but I wasn't able to rollback as mentioned under point 1.
Maybe anyone could give me a hint and help me to bring my phone back to life.
Thx a lot! I appreciate that al lot!
If you need anymore informations, plz let me know.

I was able to flash boot, recovery, cust, system, userdata and another one I forgot right now. But the result was the same: Bootloop and no 3-btn or recovery via Vol+ and Power-Button. I also tried to flash it with the HonorTool. Same result.
Then I tried to flash different TWRP versions as recovery. Result: The same as above.
So I tried another official ROM 5.1 B526 because someone had the same problem and was able to recover his phone with this ROM (another thread in the forum). But that didn't worked ether.
Then I tried to flash all the img-files of the 5.1. B535 as crc, ptable and so on because I thought that there could be the problem. But when I tried e.g. to flash crc I get the error FAILED: command not allowed. So I tried to unlock the phones partition via Fastboot and fastboot flashine unlock_critical. But using the command unlock_critical gives me also the Failed error. So I was lost again.
Status right now:
I'm still able to boot into the bootloader via Vol- and Power. But right now the phone was running out of battery. Means I see the red battery symbol when I try to start the phone via the power button (without connecting to the PC or charger) but it isn't booting even into the bootloop. The red battery symbol pops up for a second and the screen went black again.
When I use the charger then the symbol changes to a green battery and stays there, but not the moving one that indicates that the phone is charging. When I use the Power button with usb-charger connected to start the phone I'm trapped in the bootloop again.
You see I already tried a lot of different things I could find on the forum. But nothing worked for me.
I know that it was a fault to try to install 5.1 B535 without the rollback, but I wasn't able to rollback as mentioned under point 1.
Maybe anyone could give me a hint and help me to bring my phone back to life.
Thx a lot! I appreciate that al lot!
If you need anymore informations, plz let me know.
Greets, mike175de
P.S: Sorry for my school english. It is a little bit rusty ;o)

Just flash boot, Cust, recovery and system images and let it boot normally. Don't do any button combo. I have had instances where it works. Give it a try.
With which version?

Thx for your reply.
With which version should I flash? B535 or B526? Should I only flash the three images boot, cust and system? Nothing else?
Thx for a reply!

You can use any firmware but the latest one should be better, and flash four images, boot, Cust, system and boot and let it boot normally.
Then put the dload folder with update.app in sd card and do an update from settings.
Thx. I will give it a try when I'm back from work.
I let you know if it is working.

Wrote boot twice

Hey muradulislam,
Thx again.
I flashed the images (boot.img twice) but without success. Still the same error (with normal booting aka without any special button combination or with button combination). The honor boots and stays in the bootmode aka bootloop with the led blinkin red. And I still can't boot into recovery via Vol+ and Power..
Any other suggestions?

Of all the things you have already tried, the only thing remains to take it to a Huawei service center.
May be someone else can help you here but I have read most of honor 6 and 7 posts and I don't think there is anything there for this problem atm.
Hmm, thx. That is bad...
I bought this phone in China when I was there for work. And I suppose that the german service of Huwaei will not help me at all with this phone.
Does anybody else have any clue how to bring the phone back to life?
Thx a lot.

I myself have an H60-L01, bought it from china, bricked and tried everything to revive it but could not, still have to try Huawei customer service in Pakistan, am not sure whether they will be able to help me or not, but will give it a try. I wish you luck buddy. Hope you find a solution.
It's alive ;o)
The phone is working again.
Here are the steps I did for everybody else confrontated with same problem:
1. Download your last working ROM or OTA-File: In my case the OTA-File OTA-EMUI 4.0_H60-L02-L12_B811_B823.zip from this Mega-Link:
https://mega.nz/#F!ztYliaxL!4gfyXozSW51eNahGZBDgBQ!KwhlRKYR
2. Unzip the file and extract recovery.img and boot.img with the Huawei Update Extractor (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454).
3. Boot the phone into fastboot mode (connect the USB cable, press the power button to turn off and immediately press the volume down button).
4. Use fastboot to flash the two images of 2. If you need fatsboot you can find it here http://www.mediafire.com/download/o5ruw752ked884u/adb+H60.zip (Extract adb.zip and copy the extracted files from 2. in the folder adb. In the adb folder run cmd.exe as administrator.)
5. Use this commands for flashing:
fastboot devices => If the device is recognized correctly it is displaying a series of numbers
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot reboot
6. Charge the phone with the Huawei charger, not via USB/PC! (50% is enough.)
7. Download in the meantime the Developer ROM H60_EMUI3.1_Android5.1_6.1.1.zip from here:
https://mega.nz/#F!ztYliaxL!4gfyXozSW51eNahGZBDgBQ!6w5inQ6Z
8. Extract the zip file from 7. and copy UPDATE.app onto your SD-Card into /dload
9. Insert the SD without connecting.
9.1. Disconnect the USB cable from your PC or charger.
9.2. Press the Power button to turn off (maybe that is not necessary.)
9.3. When you feel the vibration press 3btn (Vol+ and Vol- and Power).
9.4. When the Honor logo appears connect your SD-Card (continue to press 3btn for 8 -10 more seconds) => Wait for the recovery process, it should start automatically.
10. After installation Android boots. Skip the first step installation (you should now have the 6.1.1. Developer-Edition installed). Rollback to Android 5.1.1 with the Rollback-File Rollback 591 EMUI3.0.zip from here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/9qrd8zm9280gy5e/Rollback+591+EMUI3.0.zip
Do do so put the unzipped UPDATE.app from the Rollback-File onto your SD-Card and do a local update via the Update Manager.
11. Boot into Android again (it will still be the 6.1.1 Developer Edition). In my case I want to install the latest Android 5.1.1 B535 from here:
https://mega.nz/#F!ztYliaxL!4gfyXozSW51eNahGZBDgBQ!6w5inQ6Z
I did it via local update again.
12.. After installation and booting => Voila here is your working Android 5.1.1 B535 again. Have fun
13. Brick it again with updating to Android 6.0
I hope I could help somebody with my experience to bring his/her phone back to life.
CU, mike

The bootloader is unlocked. Root is. Phone is loaded into the error! no func. func_boot_kernel. If you try to enter into the recovery, the error! no func. func_boot_recovery.
The error is the same as here club.huawei.com/thread-7962289-1-1.html
I tried to put EMUI4.0, then the phone stopped working. Through ADB stitched, weighting system, boot, recovery, cust.img. It shows all ok. But then the error again. He tried to put different versions of TWRP. On the 3 button also does not work.
Thank you for your attention to my problem.

You can't use 3 button with custom recovery and root. It wont work.
You need stock recovery in the same version as the rest of files used to flash other partitions.
Flash all stock partitions, then just boot the phone. Check if it works. Forget about TWRP and root for now. One thing at a time.
Nothing helps. I sew different versions via Fastboot. Everywhere all shows OK. However, when you restart the exact same mistake again ..

You can also try installing custom recovery and restore a twrp backup of ROM.

EDIT: "fixed with DC-Phoenix tool"
This thread is based on these two post, but for rookies like me.

before we start, here's some basic requirement:
1. your S7 Edge must be Qualcomm snapdragon 820 CPU, SG-9350 model better HK version (Mine is Chinese version, but I flashed to HK stock rom, no need to oem unlock, if you need this part, please search online. be-aware, flash to HK verison from Chinese, you must select re-partion option for the first time in odin)
2. developer option has been enabled already (go to settings->about devices->software info->tap build number more than 5 or 6 times)
3. in settings ->developer options -> USB debugging is on, and OEM unlock is on
4. go to samsung store, download crom and run it. (this will unlock your bootloader, lost warranty. so your choice, don't blame on me)
5. back up your data of internal storage and external SD card
6. Samsung drivers has been installed on your computer
7. know how to enter download mode on your s7e: power off your phone then, press and hold vol down + home + power
8. know how to enter recovery mode on your s7e: power off your phone then, press and hold vol up + home + power when you see recovery booting blue little letters on top of your screen, release them all
Here's the files you will need:
1. Customized Odin https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24588232905724860
2. TWRP 3.0.1 with SuperSU G9350.TWRP.SuperSU.tar
this is 3.0.1 version twrp, if you directly flash the 3.0.2 version downloaded from @travis82's post, it will not work, you have to flash the above one then update to 3.0.2
3. The following files you need to download is optional, just incase your phone need to be restored to stocked rom (Warranty can't be restored anyway). (Update 11/6/2016: base on @travis82's suggestion, put the SM-G9350_G9350ZHU2APE3-TGY firmware link below, so you can easily flash forward or backward)

Now here we start.
1. enter download mode and connect to your computer
2. launch customized odin put G9350.TWRP.SuperSU.tar in AP and flash it. (after this, your twrp interface will be chinese by default, you can change to english ofcoz, however if you totally can't read it, go to flash the below step's update, it will change the twrp's interface to english by default.
3. launch customized odin again and put TWRP 3.0.2 update Unofficial TWRP updated 11/6/2016 by @travis82 in AP and flash it again. (Sure, you have to put your phone to download again and connect to your computer)
4. enter recovery -> wipe->fomat data ->reboot (This step will make twrp able to mount your data partion)
5. enter reocvery -> install -> select the No verity opt encrypt v3.2 and flash it. (you have to put it on your internal or external sd card)

6. put the downloaded debloated rom to your sd card
7. enter recovery -> install-> select the debloated rom file and flash ->reboot after finished successfully
8. the Samsung post screen will be there for several minutes, mine was about 5 minutes
9. put your downloaded latest kernel from @travis82 to your sd card
10. enter recovery -> install -> select the latest kernel and flash ( I didn't wipe the cache, works fine for me)
11. if there's a newer kernel published out, just put it on your sd card and repeat step 10 again, then you will be on the latest kernel ( I didn't wip the cache as well)
End
thanks to @travis82 and @davecotefilm
Unofficial TWRP: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6...Wo0M2FvU3VVRGs or https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767112021
Changelog: https://github.com/travismills82/twr...commits/master
Short version:
Update kernel and dtb for recovery
update fstab
added modem as backup (so we can restore modems without odin)
fixed decryption (no messages yet)
Noticed now I can use compression without my phone getting so hot it wants to explode or freezing.
PS: I don't think you need custom odin anymore. Also here is the crom.apk : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224394932
Samsung likes to prevent os reverts ie marshmallow to kitkat. So I suggest you flash SM-G9350_G9350ZHU2APE3-TGY firmware via odin as stock before you just automatically jump to the latest version officially. Here is a link for that also. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=312978532265363995 Than you can just flash zips via twrp and rollback for jump forward and not be stuck because you have a bootloader that can't load XXX rom.

I'm trying to get my chinese version rooted. I flashed HK stock rom, but couldn't get pass the crom unlock. I downloaded crom from Samsung store, ran it, and it gave me "unable to open application, an unkown error has occurred. try again later". Anyone knows why? I have oem unlock and usb debug on in developer settings.

Hi travis82, I'm trying to root another s7 edge for my gf, but this time not even s6-crom works. It's showing the same error. The phone is a China version of sg9350, I flashed two different HK roms with odin, but can't get S6-crom working. Oem unlock and usb debug are both on in developer settings. Do you have any idea?

Sorry, false alarm. I got it working by turning wifi off and ran it over data network. Strange that crom app didn't complain about internet problem while wifi was on.
