Hey dudes, this forum helped me to revive my phone 3 years ago.
Now my display is broken, i can see the half of my unlock screen (its inverted and it looks very strange) but i cant touch anything. My debugging is on but i cant save my files because i have to unlock the screen by a simple gesture pattern. Also the phone has the unlock icon in the bootscreen. (Long time ago since i done that and dont know what it means now)
If you know anything what i can do to save my files please let me know step by step! Im not a fixing pro
The easiest way i think is to unlock my screen and save my files on my computer but how i can do this now?
i hope for your help
sorry for my bad english i try my best :X:crying:
EDIT: Problem Solved! Fastboot via adb to TWRP - shows my storage and i could copy all my files! thanks to jd1639 for his perfect support!
You probably can use the command adb pull from recovery. But you'll need to know the specific file name, including extension, and the folder it's located on your device. I don't think you can use wildcards so you'd have to do it for each file. I've tried it and it's a real pain so haven't even tried for a long time. Google adb pull.

Thats to hard for me, but thanks for your idea! I hope anyone know a smarter way to get through my unlock gesture or to save my files via adb :X
You can adb pull the userdata partition, but you need enough storage on your pc to do it. If you are unlocked do you have twrp? Twrp would give access to mtp.

Could you let me know how you pull the userdata partition. I didn't know you could do that. I also thought of using twrp but since he has a broken screen and a pattern lock I didn't think he could get into twrp.

Never mind. I forgot about the dd command. But does that dump individual files?

adb pull <path-of-the-file> . It works. There is also adb backup. TWRP should not need the touch screen. Never needed that when I ran my nexus 5.

Twrp is a replacement recovery to the stock. Boot into the bootloader and then use the vol keys to get to recovery. If you have twrp it'll boot into that. I just pulled out my N5 and twrp is not password protected. From twrp you'll be able to pull files off with file manager on your PC. If you have the stock recovery you won't be able to pull files with a file manager.
If you don't have twrp installed all is not lost. From the bootloader you can boot into twrp using fastboot, fastboot boot twrp.img. Where twrp.img is the full name of the twrp image file you download to your pc.

If it looks like a dead Android then yes. But if your bootloader is unlocked, it sounds it is, then you can still boot into twrp with fastboot
Edit, yeah, that's the stock recovery.

Do you have fastboot on your pc. If not Google 15 sec adb xda. There a tool by snoop05 which will install it. Also, Google teamwin Nexus 5. You'll find the twrp image there. Download that to a folder of your choice.

---------- Post added at 05:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------
Once you have all that go to the folder where twrp is. Rename the file to twrp for simplicity. Then in that folder shift + right click your mouse on an open area. It should give an option to open a power shell there, win10 if you have something other than win10 it should give you an option for a command prompt.
Then boot your phone into the bootloader. Attach it to your pc with the USB. Then in the power shell window type the command "fastboot boot twrp.img", without the "'s. Your phone should boot into twrp. From there you should be able to get at your files from Windows explorer on your PC.

Adb is different but if you have that you probably have fastboot too. The twrp apk is not what you want. You need the image file.

Hi,
I've found the following link about rooting the TF300T:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706588 ,
but I got a question, though. It looks the script needs to be installed on a Win PC, but how is the connection and setup procedure on the side of the TF300T tablet?? I am new in the Android world, so I'm not all to sure about things.
Oh, btw I forgot, I got JB 4.1.1
The method you just posted is for ICS users only. If you are on JB, you cannot successfully use it, and you must unlock your bootloader to get root.

My TF300T is already unlocked, it even shows at boot time a message saying it is unlocked.
So, would the procedure in the link in my previous message work?
If you think it would work, then what procedures and settings should I fix and follow on the side of the TF300T?

The first post in previous link has two attached ZIP packages from which one is the package with the drivers, called:
ASUS Android USB Drivers.zip - [Click for QR Code] (8.28 MB, 25376 views)
I've downloaded and extracted it on my Win7 64bit PC, but I cannot install them, there isn't any installer to install the drivers. All there is are *.inf files and when I right-click them and then click install, I get an error message.
So, could anybody tell me how to install the drivers in Win7?
Hope sparkym3 is reading this.

Tried it out but got stuck at the Win7 cmd command:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery tf300t-jb.blob
I got an error message at that command saying cannot load tf300t-jb.blob , and indeed tf300t-jb.blob is nowhere to be found in the downloaded folders Fastboot+recovery and Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed on my Win7 PC. However in folder Fastboot+recovery/Fastboot there are the files twrp.blob, but I don't dear to run it. I figured I'll ask first where the tf300t-jb.blob has gone to? Maybe krabappel2548 could shed some light on the issue, if anyone can contact him/her.

As a newbie I'm not all too sure, so I got another question. At instruction number 7, it says:
7) Copy Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed to the internal storage of your tablet. then reboot into the bootloader again.
So I assume Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed must be a FOLDER, not a file? And where exactly should I copy that folder? In the root of my Asus JB tablet alongside the other folder like Android, .frb, Download, Music, Pictures, DCIM, .MoVend,... Or should I copy the folder Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed somewhere deeper into some other folder on the tablet?
I got a SuperSU error message saying:
"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it.
This is a problem!"
The point is that I don't really know how to install onto my JB Asus tablet the folder Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed. Could anyone explain, step-by-step, how to install the folder once I've booted into RCK on the tablet?
Thanks in advance
Ok, here is Part 3 from the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30516010&postcount=1
== Part 3 BEGINNING - Install recovery and rooting ==
Let's start with installing the recovery
1) Download these 2 files:
- Jellybean recovery with fastboot files: Fastboot files + JB recovery
- Root files: Root Files
- You can also download the new CWM Touch recovery if you don't like TWRP: CWM Touch recovery thread
2) Extract the recovery with fastboot files zip and open a command prompt in the same folder of the adb and fastboot files (Shift + Right mouse)
3) Reboot into the bootloader of your tablet, type: adb reboot bootloader
4) When your tablet has reached the bootloader navigate with volume down to the usb icon and press volume up to confirm.
5) To flash the recovery type:
- TWRP: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery tf300t-jb.blob
- CWM: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery CWM-Touch.blob
6) A blue bar will appear and the recovery will be installed, when the blue bar is filled press volume up + power button to reboot into the tablet.
Now we will root the tablet
7) Copy Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed to the internal storage of your tablet. then reboot into the bootloader again.
8) This time you need to select the RCK icon with volume up to enter the recovery image.
9) In recovery flash Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed and reboot into the system
10) Install Supersu from Google Play
11) Open up Supersu, it will ask you to update the binary, choose yes.
12) Now your tablet should be rooted
== Part 3 END - Install recovery and rooting ==
So, I copied the folder Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed in the root directory of my tablet along side the folder TWRP.
I managed to boot into TWRP and got the screen
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then I pushed the button REBOOT followed by the button SYSTEM.
Then I followed 10), 11), en 12) but my tablet does not go into root and SuperSU gives me the error in previous post. Also Superuser app does not work.
I'm not sure about if I have flashed the folder Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed properly.
Can anyhow give me some instructions how to continue from 7) onwards.
Go back into twrp recovery, and tap install, then select the superuser zip file you have on. Your internal storage.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
I just did that. Selected Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed, which is btw a folder and not a ZIP file, and then pushed install button (very top-right on the tablet screen, looks like a square-like button), and then I got the message "Updating partition details..." which just keeps on being there with no movement nor any progress whatsoever. So what's up with my tablet???
After I tapped Install in the twrp menu, I got two panes. The left pane shows the 2 subfolders of Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed, and the pane on the right shows /sdcard/Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed at the top but the right pane itself is empty. At the very top in twrp it says Select Zip to Install. However, I do not have any ZIP. I only have the folder Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed with 2 subfolders called META-INF and system. So how should I proceed from here?
PS It is after midnight, so I am off. CU later.
The folders you just mentioned are the contents of the original superuser zip. Download the zip file from the guide, put the zip on the sdcard folder, and try twrp again. Twrp installs zip files.

It works!!!! Million times thanks to funnel71. The instructions in the link you've provided me earlier (see also my post #10) are a bit misleading. In 7) its says
"7) Copy Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed to the internal storage of your tablet. then reboot into the bootloader again."
But in stead of Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed (which is a folder) it should be Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.ZIP, which is a file. I got mislead and thought I had to unpack the zip file and them transfer the folders.
Now I got another problem. The reason why I needed root was for running Undelete/Recover Apps, and those I tested don't work. So I'll be opening a new thread soon.

Do you connect your Android device to your Windows PC using a data cable? That is not the case with me, my tablet is connect to my PC using the POWER cable. The power cable is plugged into the tablet and the other side of my power cable has a normal Standaard USB (2.0) Type A connector, which goes into the wall plug adapter. The power channel/port of my tablet can also carry data from and too the internal SDcard of the tablet.
I'm not sure but probably your Android device should be able to get connected to you Windows PC the same way as with my tablet.
Data and power ?
Only one cable for data (pc to device) and power(charger to device)

Please Note: Whatever you are doing here is at your own risk.. Having said that, if you still blame me for spoiling the broth, well, I am not the COOK then.. So read properly and stop being noob..
So, we start.....
This Guide is for Windows.. Follow each step properly before asking questions..
Step 1: Setting up Drivers for Ubislate:
1. You need to install Android sdk from here and JAVA from here. Without java, sdk might show errors. So install JAVA and then SDK. I won't tell you how to install these.. Search..
2. This step onwards the real game starts.. once you install sdk, open sdk manager and install the necessary tools like sdk platform tools..Most important of it is installing google usb drivers from the list of options.. You will see this type of list :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Choose sdk tools, sdk platform tools and google usb drivers from the list and click on Install Packages..
3. Once that is done, go to sdk folder and then to platform tools. Keep pressing the shift key and right click and select 'Open command window here'. Type 'adb' in small. If you see a list of options coming, you are good to go and sdk is installed.
4. Go to sdk folder again and in that go to extras/google/usb_driver. Replace the android_winusb file with the one provided below of this post. Just copy paste and replace.
5. Connect your Ubislate tab to pc and go to Control Panel/Hardware and Sound/Device and Printers/Device Manager.Go to other devices in the list and You will see an exclamation mark on your device named Android.
6. Right click on it and click on Update driver software.
7. Select Browse my computer for update driver and then click on Let me pick up from a list of device drivers.
8. From Common hardware types select Android Device and then click on Have Disk
9. An Install from disk dialog box appears. Click on browse and go to sdk folder where you have copied the android_winusb file i.e extras/google/usb_driver. Select android_winsub and click on OPEN. A list of drivers will now open
10. Click on Android ADB Interface and then click on next. Done!! You now have ADB access for your Aakash tab. To check, go to sdk folder/platform-tools and open command window and type adb devices. You will see your device in List of devices attached with some number and device written besides it.
Please Note: The drivers will not get installed on Windows 8 untill you disable DIGITAL DEVICES DRIVER ENFORCEMENT.. Search on google on how to disable it.. Its damm easy..
If you are done with this only then move ahead......

Click to collapse
Step2:Installing CWM Recovery and Rooting:
1. I have made a fully working recovery for Ubislate tabs which works very well without any problems and detects the internal sd card without issues. Follow this guide here and install recovery on your aakash tab.
2. To reboot to recovery, press and hold VOL + key and Power key till the tablet boots into recovery or else there is a bat file in the zip file provided in the above link, run it and your tab will automatically boot into recovery.
3. Download Superuser.zip provided below and copy it to your internal sd card.
4. Boot to recovery and click on Install zip from sd card>choose zip from internal sd card. Navigate to the folder where you have placed the Superuser.zip and install it.
5. Reboot and you are finally done.. You now have a rooted Aakash tab with a CWM Recovery installed and proper ADB Drivers
I recommend all users to make a NANDROID BACKUP before making any changes into system as I Haven't found any Perfectly working ROM for AAKASH TAB.. Go Ahead and Enjoy

This has perfectly worked on my Ubislate 7ci and should work on other versions of Aakash Tab too. Though test it and let me know as I haven't tested it on other tabs.

ADB Driver
Does anyone have an ADB driver that works for this tablet (UbiSlate 7ci)? I've downloaded the one from Android SDK numerous times as well as a few others. None have worked so far.
I'm not a total noob as I've rooted my S3, two Nexus 7's, a Droid 4, a Droid 2, a DINC as well as a KFHD.
Thanks in advance.
Jeremy
Update:
Problem solved... I used this http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach..._AOSP_Rk29sdk_Android_4.0.3-7inch-Tablet.pdf; specifically step 11 &19 to get ADB working.
Now I just need to root this device. The box shows that it's an A9 chip so hopefully this still works, also it was delivered running Android 4.2.2

Keep in mind, no matter what, you always have to take backup before doing anything with your phone if you aren't sure about what will happen. And this becomes must when playing with devices which don't have many stuff available related to it.. Next time do consider this. because being an owner of such a great Tab( sarcasm intended), you need to be sure about alllll this.

Hello, first i'm sorry that my english isn't really good thanks
i have an issue with my tf300t after i installed android 4.2, before the update i could use usb to transfer files to the pc but this isn't working anymore.
i think something went wrong with the update to 4.2 because sometimes when i put in the dock station it says 'uil not working' or something that sound like that. I deleted the android installation from my device so i can not re install the android.
I know you have to put it in the 'root' map and this worked when in connected to my pc and now since that won't work i can t get the file there i tried to download the file from asus website to my tablet and i was stored to the download map and i can't move the zip file to the root map it gave a message "refused permission" I also have tried a couple of time to reset the system and this does also not work. I have tried to put the file there over wifi (wifi file transfer) but also here i cant add maps or files in the right map. I'm a little familiar with android but not if it comes to issues like this .. i really hope there is some one that can help me out . i can't send the device back to store or factory i'm out of ideas.
thank you for taking the time to help me out! i really appreciate it.

Oh no, sorry. I'm only knowledgeable with unlocked devices, as I unlocked mine a day after I got it.
The problem is you don't have permission to copy to that folder. You could download the update on your tablet itself from the tablet browser and find a guide to downgrade or reinstall.

Yes indeed, i'm really stuck right now. I can't do anything in the map and i saw multiple guides on the internet how you can install a ROM from a sdcard, here comes the joke... you'll need a rooted device to do that and i cannot root my tablet because he can't get connected with my computer and that's what you need to get it rooted.. i'm seriously out of brain. I've searching the web for more then 17 hours non stop and i can't find any solution that is working for me. I think the OS is just damaged and can't be fixed (bricked).
Still hoping some day this can be fixed it was my girlfriend her gift now i have to tell her very bad news

OK then download the ROM from the xda page and is the same version or newer than the one you have on your tablet currently. Extract the ROM from the downloaded file and copy that to the root of an SDcard . Put that in your tablet. Go into settings and find the manual upgrade. Click that and it should upgrade

The reason you have a dead droid is because you dont have a recovery installed. Try this:
1) Download the latest firmware from Asus website
2) Extract the .zip file somewere on your desktop (the result will be another .zip file,use it for step 3)
3) Rename the extracted archive to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.ZIP" (without the " ") and upload it to a MicroSD card
4) Insert the MicroSD card in your tablet and use this button combination to Power ON and go to recovery --> Start the tablet by pressing Volume Down and POWER togheter for 5 seconds ,a message will inform you that you have 5 seconds to enter the recovery,press Volume UP before the 5 seconds expire.
At this point the device will go in recovery and should start updating your firmware .
Note: Keep in mind that Windows doesn't show the known file extensions so most users don't have to put the .ZIP extension in the filename.

You shouldn't have to connect the tablet to the computer for this, and it should work on a locked bootloader. Just make sure you have the correct Asus firmware downloaded.

You dont need to, just plug the SD card in directly to your computer and transfer the file, or do the renaming on the tablet itself.

You can create your own CWM my friend.
1. You have to use MTK Droid Tools to get the Block Map for the phone. Download and install MTK Droid Tools. Turn your phone on and make sure the USB Debugging is on. Now connect the phone to your computer via a USB cable. MTK Droid will recognize the phone. Now, just click the Blocks Map button and click the Save button to save the scatter.txt file in a directory you make. You will need the scatter.txt file in the next step. This step only works for a rooted phone. Your phone is rooted so you can do this. (For those who don't have root access, there is a button on the bottom of the MTK Droid window to temporarily root the phone...but it may not work). DISCONNECT YOUR PHONE FROM THE COMPUTER. And turn your phone OFF.
2. Next you must use SP Flash Tool to make a backup of the complete ROM. SPF will ask you to select the scatter.txt file. Once you select it, select the Read Back tab. Click on the Add button. It will create a record to indicate what you want to back up. Click on the file name and you then select the folder where you want to place the ROM (it is automatically named ROM_0). Then it will ask you for the starting address and the length. The starting address is 0x0. To determine the length of the backup, you have to read the scatter.txt file. Look at the "linear starting address" of the Cache partition. That is the number you want to use for the length. You write it like this "0xnnnnnnnn". Then click enter. So now the SPF knows what you want to backup from the phone and where it will store the backup.
3. Next, click the Read Back button. The SPF is now waiting for you. There's no need to rush. Turn your phone off (if you haven't turned it off yet). REMOVE the battery from your phone. Connect the USB cable from the computer to the phone then put the battery back in the phone. Do NOT turn the phone on. The SPF will then backup your ROM. This step could take almost an hour to finish. Go make yourself a nice cup of coffee.
4. When the backup is done, you will see a big green OK dialog. You can now disconnect the phone. Your backup is saved as ROM_0 in the folder you selected. Now go back to MTK Droid Tools. Turn your phone back on. Make sure USB Debugging is still on. Connect the phone to the USB cable again. Once MTK Droid Tool recognizes the phone, go to the Root, Recovery tab. Click the button that says "Process ROM from the file." It will ask you to select the ROM_0 file you just backed up. This process will turn your ROM_0 into the partition files that make up your firmware. During this process, it will ask you if you want to make the CWM recovery!
Let the whole process complete. It could take a half hour or more. When it is done. The firmware and the CWM image will be in the MTK Droid folders. Just look through the folders under MTK Droid on your hard disk drive.
Please, when you are done, share the scatter.txt file and the CWM recovery.img with us.
And don't forget to click the Thank You button if this helped you in any way.

No. At this point, the CWM recovery image has been created in one of the folders on the computer. You next have to install it on the phone via SP Flash Tool.

There may be a problem. I tried to use a SKY 4.0D with MTK Droid Tools. For some reason, it doesn't work. I think there's an issue with the kernel. This means that someone needs to port this phone's recovery to CWM or TWRP. Hopefully, someone has already done this...but the community/developer support for these devices is non-existent unfortunately.
Once the custom recovery is available, you have to flash it onto the device, either with SP Flash Tool (you just need the scatter.txt file which you xan get from MTK Droid), or you can root your phone, install Busybox, and install Flashify to flash it to the phone.
IDEA: Start a separate XDA thread for SKY devices. They are cheap but beautiful devices. Maybe some technical folks who are skilled in porting recoveries may show up just for the challenge.

Sorry for my non helpful reply was really busy yesterday coding. I used MTK droid tools it didn't work the first time, I backed up my device again made the CWM recovery for the second time and it than booted into CWM perfectly. If you're having issues than it may be because of root I had used a one click program but it never fully rooted my device I had issues until I fully rooted on mtk droid tools ?

BTW, you should share your CWM image on say Mega.nz and post up the link so others less skilled can download and flash it. It really helps, and you'll be thanked profusely.
Also, please consider sharing what rooting program or method you used to properly root your phone. My preferred method for properly rooting MTK devices is to first flash a custom recovery using SPFT, then install SuperSu zip from the SD card. This way, I'm not having to deal with or replace Chinese super user programs.

STEP 1. Download MTK droid tools. I rooted the SKY 5.0Q with Kingo root I than used MTK droid tools to fully root the device by clicking the root button. STEP 2. Back up the phone using droid tools, its going to ask you if you want CWM built into the recovery make sure to click yes. During the process it will ask if you want to flash the new recovery image, go ahead and click yes. STEP 3. Your phone should now be rebooting into CMW now, go through it to make sure it works correctly. If it doesnt then re flash the NEW recovery boot.img that you just made.
*PLEASE NOTE: SuperUser is automatically put onto the device when rooting with Kingo root.*

Did you turn on the USB Debugging? When you connect your phone (with Debugging on) you will need to respond to the dialog that pops up on your phone to allow the computer to have access! If you do not turn on debugging or is you do not respond to this dialog, MTK Droid will not be able to see your phone.

Yes I did I did everything, I even tried it on windows 7 and 10 (pc and laptop)
and I still get the same results, I even deleted all MT drivers with usbdeview and reinstall, same thing
UPDATE:
Ok I got MTK Droid tool to detect the phone but I was unable to extract the scatter file, after numerous attempts I was informed that the Latest MTK DROID TOOL will not work 100% with the MT67xx chipset devices, maybe in the next update.
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.

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:

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
