They told me it is usually 10 days or less. The girl working there actually said it is usually less than 10 days. There was Thanksgiving (Canada) this past weekend, so I'll follow up with them on Monday if I hear nothing. I doubt they will be able to do anything though. I hope Samsung's Note 7 fiasco isn't making this take longer than it should...

FYI we should be getting another update in November according to Telus.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I rooted my phone a month ago and currently have plans to sell this phone. Can someone tell me how to get back to stock rom and continue getting the ota updates from Samsung? Basically I dont want the buyer knowing this phone was ever rooted. Phone was originally with Rogers but got it unlocked and using it with Wind.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] BCSC:
The buyer is going to know when he register for Samsung Pay and he finds Knox has been tricked and he has been scammed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
That is quite dishonest. I don't think you should share your intent to scam people. Definitely something you want to keep to yourself. If you want to sell a phone that has been rooted you should advertise it as such. In any case just odin back to stock. Make sure you flash the right firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Lol...funny.

You clearly dont realize that even going back to stock knox will read as 0x1 (pending root method) so people will know you modded something.

Maybe doest seem like such a genius idea now trying to fool people.

Its the first thing i check on a used device.

RIP Note 7 :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I think android pay still works if I unroot. I dont think we have Samsung Pay yet in Canada.

Not really sure how I am trying to scam someone. I had to see my Note 4 by flashing stock firmware on it because when it was rooted, all the buyers thought it had viruses or spyware on it since it was "rooted" which I noted in the advertisement. People who are oblivious to the term would be paranoid in buying a rooted phone. That's the whole idea of my post.

Dude are you high? I don't even have a Note 7. I said I own a galaxy S7 edge lol?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
As long as your keeping it clean. If you bring it back to stock and say that it was once rooted and it's now stock it's fine. As long as you disclose it. Your question was how to I bring it back to stock to "hide" that it was ever rooted. That's shady. Anyway like I said before Odin back to stock. Make sure you have the right firmware.

[[/QUOTE]

You did say that you don't want the buyers knowing that the phone was ever rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Maybe my choice of words was wrong, but by "hide" what I meant was I didn't want the person thinking my phone was malicious just because I had rooted it. Anyways, if I flash the correct firmware, would I return to getting OTA updates from Samsung like before rooting? or because of Knox being tripped, would I be blocked from getting updates?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Thanks for clarifying. I figured it might have just been a wrong choice of words. [emoji4]

So yeah by flashing back to stock it'll be just like any other unrooted phone. It will get updates and everything will work except for Samsung pay. And of course knox will be forever tripped.

I don't have a case yet, I guess that would help
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mediumsteak:
Samsung considers tripped Knox as a void warranty. I'd hate to be the person that buys your device because it is no longer covered by Samsung's warranty.

The buyer may not be aware that he/she is buying a phone with a void warranty. How are you going to reply if the buyer asks you whether your phone is still under warranty? Are you going to be transparent and tell them that there is no warranty and risk losing a sale or are you going to lie and pretend it is under warranty?

I have the SM-G935W8 with Wind, rooted with TWRP, Still on the April 2 security patch. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to update this without losing root? Or a ROM that's known to be working on this device? Been looking around but it's been a long time since I've owned an android device and i'm seeing some ROMs need a bootloader update. Not sure how to do that on this device. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] fortesquieu:
If you want to update the ROM without losing root, you'll just need to flash the ROM through TWRP and that should do it. Flashing anything through Odin will make you lose the root.

I am using King Rom on mine, even though mine is the international model FD the ROM is supported on W8 models. I have found this ROM to be the perfect balance between stock/mods/tweaks and everything working.

---------- Post added at 05:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 AM ----------

Guys, here is a stupid question, I have been trying to find an answer to no avail. I am in Canada however I have the international FD model, I am working would it be ok if I flash the Canadian Bootloader/Modem on mine? The idea is using a Canadian BL/Modem I might get better coverage etc? Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] BCSC:
Absolutely do not flash the Canadian bootloader. The best case scenario youre looking at is buying a Canadian version to replace your bricked FD.

You should be fine to flash the modem file. Easy enough to resolve by reverting back to your carrier's in the event of worsened reception, etc.

I'm happy with ClearPlex film protector from BestBuy stores. $29.99 + tax lifetime warranty. Anytime it peels off or it gets damaged you go back to the store with the receipt and they put a new one on. It does not cover from edge to edge. There is a 1-2 mm gap between the film and the edge end the ear piece and home button are only enclosed on three sides. The tech said that if the film would go more towards the curved sides it would peel off so they are aware about the limitations of edge screen and their product. After 1 month absolutely no problem. Install was great with no bubbles and no lint underneath. They have a machine that does it. It seems to be wet application and the screen is self healing. They have two flavors. On our device they apply the ULTRA one which it's been said to be HD. If feels just a little bit rubbery but way less than others. The touch sensitivity is great though.

Give it a try.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sabesh:
Agreed. I'm using this too. A few nail prints on the screen protector, but nothing bothersome. I'll be taking it back to a fresh install in a few weeks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] blwc:
I had a Clearplex on mine when I first got the phone, but 2 problems:

1) screen protector is prone to scratches. Scratches really ruin the screen viewing experience.

2) quality of application really by the Geek Squad employee is really shoddy. Over the first 2 months, I would get scratches on the screen protector leading me to get a new one applied...and despite 3 attempts and 3 different Best Buy locations...I always ended up with a poor application (i.e. dust particles under the protector) each time. I get that it's free...but what a hassle to get it reapplied time after time.

I'm currently using Mobile Outfitters (Vaughan Mills) screen protector. First install is $30, replacements are $15 thereafter. I've had a much better experience with this one because:

1) the material they use is more durable than Clearplex. No scratches on the screen protector after 3 months and still going strong.

2) I've had no problems with the quality of application. I have brought my S7 Edge and Note 7 to them...both perfect applications. Not a spec of dust under the protector in either.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ArchitectOfThought:
I had Shomi disabled with Package Disabler Pro. Got the update, updated, and I guess the uninstall aborted because it was disabled, because it's still on my phone and I can't get rid of it. Only keep it disabled :(

I just flashed to API and have amazing battery life for those wondering the answer to my original question! I caved and updated to the September update and it's been outstanding
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cantenna:
I have same phone as you, same carrier. Before you flash anything custom rom you have to back up you efs in twrp, i cant stress how crucial this is! Make multiple backups of your efs and leave a copy on your sd! You need to restore it after a new custom rom flash and again after installing the correct csc for your carrier.

Now that we have that very important advice out of the way, I use Superman rom, its the best! Up to date with official security patches and even has unoficial security patches that Samsung hasnt gotten around to addressing yet.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] crutzulee:
Thanks for your recommendation. I had been upset about not having a proper glass solution fir this phone after having great experiences with TP on my last 3 phones..

Yesterday I bit the bullet at bestbuy and had this put on..the tech told me that the bubbles I saw on application would resolve but I was highly skeptical.. 24 hours later and I'm satisfied:good:..

Unfortunately there is a tiny peice of pocket lint that got caught under it..is really only noticeable when I use Google cardboard so I don't think I'll replace it yet..

Has anyone had a hassle with a replacement? Is there a certain level of degradation that they look for before replacing or could some OCD person go in and change their protector every day?:eek:

As it's now a little over a week late according to: http://forum.telus.com/t5/Mobility/Software-Update-Schedule/ta-p/53566

I noticed that now for the S7 it now only says December 5th but still claims November 14th for the S7 Edge. Since the update is still not OTA on Telus for the Edge, I assume it also will be delayed until the 5th.
