Recently i flashed alliance rom version 1 on my 5.1.1 G920i samsung galaxy s6 because i was stupid and tired, anyway... ever since then i've been stuck in a boot loop but when i went into recovery mode via TWRP i couldn't restore any backups or anything and nothing worked. When i plugged my phone into my pc it wasn't registered even after installing drivers, odin or command prompt couldn't detect it either. So now i have an S6 that has been factory reset on a ROM that doesn't work and my phone won't register on pc at all. Tried on 2 different pc's.

I have a workout tracking app(Xfit PR) that I've had for several years, so it's got quite a lot of tracking info in it.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Welkwo:
Hi there everyone,

I've been playing around with my roms and I've had problems with data on every rom I have given a try. I am currently using Net10 via their BYOP program, I seem to only be able to get working data on stock based roms, however, I would love to be able to use other roms as a primary driver besides stock, anybody have any suggestions on how I might resolve this issue?

I'd appreciate it a lot guys, I am at the point of utter confusion because after countless edits to the prop and other workarounds suggested around the community for adapting the phone to work with Verizon.. It appears this does not provide a solution to my carrier despite it working excellent on stock (Which should already be using the steps provided for use with Verizon?) , I have made no progress (except for at one point successfully obtaining 1x signal... Woo!) and I know for certain that many of these ROMS work fine with Verizon and Straight Talk provided SIM Cards, however, there seems to be no mention of Net10 or any possible solutions for my particular carrier since it appears to be oddball to many.

##BRAND# restart and all carrier branding is gone..if u want it to stay gone install samsung package disable and debloat it and block the update crap before I put ur sim in....afterwards u can control apn and other settings..I am still messing with it....found the code UNLOCKKERNAL also but don't know we're I use it....got this from hiddenmenu.apk the manifest.xml

Does this now for sprint S7 edge build apd3 un greys APN option to be able to edit. So hotspot is working??? If so any step by step or videos preferably?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] mrwootwoot:
So, I tried ##BRAND#.

It more than debloats your phone. It clears out ALL sprint settings including those that give you data access. However, you do gain access to APNs as long as you have MSL. I had to input all my APNs back in to get 3G to work. Still trying to figure out why 4G and LTE isn't working.

I suspect I can do a hands free activation and get my data access back by doing a master reset. ##72786# doesn't even get me a reboot, and I can't update my profile at all. The PD3 update got downloaded but there was an error along the way so the data is still there but it can't be installed even if I wanted to. I'm hoping the master reset clears this out, and then I can disable the update service with my new access.

PS... for what it's worth, I have PC5 and am not able to keep the "You are not subscribed" popup from turning it off. I suspect I can disable DSS to prevent that but my focus right now is to get LTE and 4G capability back.

I'll update as I explore more.

Edit: Seeing "Installing system update" is not what I wanted to see......

Edit2: doing a system reset fixed LTE and 4G connectivity issues... and brought back the bloatware. Fortunately, no update to PD3. I'll try again to see if I can get the data settings to stick after debloat.

Edit3: For future use just in case. For LTE replace EHRPD with LTE at location.

Name: APN2 EHRPD internet

APN: n.ispsn

MMSC: http://mms.sprintpcs.com

MM Proxy: 68.28.31.7

MM Port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 120

APN Type: default, mms, dun

Protocol: IPv4/IPv6

Roaming: IPv4/IPv6

Bearer: eHRPD

Edit4: sooooo no dice. I've tried taking sim out before reboot, after reboot, master resetting it, debranding it, manually entering APNs....... nothing works. APNs greyed out. The most likely way to get this to work is to stop the activation mid way and try to modify it then.

I've also started noticing a new message appearing. Something to the effect of "Applications are locked or disabled from modification" or similar. That never happened before today.

Still going to keep fiddling with it, but I'm running out of ideas.

Question regarding the original topic of the thread. My S7 is still on APB5 and I'd like to keep it that way until we see how everything plays out.

Is there any advantage for me to do the ##BRAND# procedure at this point just to make sure my phone doesn't take an update on it's own? The phone asks me to update once in a while and I decline. Can this procedure insure that I won't take an update if I don't want it?

Thanks in advance for any guidance guys ;)

I understand that and all but given the fact that nobody has heard anything from anyone with credibility it's not looking promising at this point. If we had received some sort of update than maybe things wouldn't look so bad but we haven't seen anything at all and before he was posting numerous times in short periods of time. Also I think if samsung had really messed up with signing files than I bet someone would have already found a way and it would be one of the well known devs that are well established here on xda too. Just my .02
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Surge1223:
Being skeptical is the only way anyone in here should act, imho it's much more harmful to be optimistic because that just means you're an idiot. I mean OK I'm not going to discredit OP here or anything but i took one look at the boot chain (most of which is now 64-bit) and it's a foreign as hell. I wouldn't be surprised if there was no one on xda who knows how the s7 boot chain works.

Let's make a check list

1. We have no source for the qcom proprietary bits

2. Currently most people who investigate bootloaders probs aren't using a 64 bit version of the ELF loader plugin you'd need to analyze a lot of this in IDA

3. A quick glance through emmc_appsboot.mbn tells you that kernel and system are both protected and unless you flash a signed, incremented image, it will "trip knox" and who knows what else.

4. The firmware checks are not well understood unless you analyze a lot of the early boot chain, typically its loaded/checked before lk

5. There's a good chance that even if you root system, the next boot will bring you to a soft brick in download mode until you flash a signed system image

6. If you somehow found a way to bypass signature checks (highly skeptical about this BTW), then you would have a pretty straight forward path to root. Flash a modified kernel and system image, or leave system alone and go systemless, as long as you have an insecure kernel (also a modified ramdisk would allow you to bypass a lot of restrictions) so I can't imagine what you would need with a bunch of firmware honestly .

I know it sounds like I'm being a downer, but in all honestly Im rooting for ya. Good luck guys.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] KaptainRandom:
Let's all here at xda just pause for a moment.

It seems the OP started this thread as a curiosty about secret codes and stumbled upon something possibly useful toward rooting.

Clearly, while looking for helpful devs here,

his regular devsite/community is GSM Forum.

Hopefully, he is able to explore his findings with xda or gsm or a combination of the two.

Please, any interested higher level devs contact him via private message.

Please, everyone else back off.

There are enough respectable people already involved to ensure findings (positive or negative) will be posted when confirmed and worked into a useful form.

Thanx

It sounds to me as though he has disappeared from the face of this planet just like the guy in the tmobile root thread before. There has been nothing to prove anything at this point besides talk we have no proof of concept, screenshots that anyone can grab EVEN WITHOUT ROOT and the OP is missing in action.

If and when root is found it will not be any random person it will certainly be a well known developer that has been doing this for years.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jpcloudsurf:
If OP does find root I hope he collects before he puts it out.

Idk why people get butthurt over the fact someone claims they did, didnt, or thought they found root. Stop being so dramatic. It's a friggin phone. Go outside or something.

And I really prefer silence. It means ****s getting done. And if not, then I can just forget about it until I get an android authority or xda newsletter talking about root on the s7/s7 edge. But, I mean, I subscribed to this thread to only really see the devs talk about this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] CVertigo1:
I'll ask in the thread in case anyone knows. Does anyone know of an app called CCSW? I'm assuming it's a mistype, as I can't find anything about it. As an FYI, this is pertinent to the root thread. The OP sent me something and he mentioned CCSW, but there is no documentation online.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] LeftyGR:
There's an app called ccswe manager in the app store.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] denpth:
Ccswe is an app manager program. So considering what I know of what he did that fits the bill.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] seanvree:
What did he do?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] denpth:
Well, that I don't actually know. But I saw his posts mentioning disabling apps, so it was probably involved in the method.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] dhonzik:
CCSWE App Manager was designed for users who want to hide icons for applications they do not use without uninstalling the entire application. This is useful for applications like Google Maps that include multiple icons. You can also hide icons for stock system applications which will allow you to continue to receive system updates while saving space in your application drawer.

★★ NOTE: You must have a stock Samsung device in order to use CCSWE App Manager (SAMSUNG) ★★

Contact appmanager@ccswe.com if you have any issues. We are more than happy to offer any help we can but cannot do anything if you simply give us a low rating instead of contacting us.

★★ Features ★★

★ Hide (disable) application icons without uninstalling the application

★ Freeze (disable) applications (Pro version only)

★★ Frequently asked questions ★★

★ Why does CCSWE App Manager (SAMSUNG) require device admin privileges?

Unfortunately the Android security model does not make it possible for one application to enable/disable components for another application. This makes sense for standard applications because you wouldn't want a competing application to be able to disable yours (ie: install MySpace and it disables Facebook). That is why CCSWE App Manager requires device admin privileges in order to achieve this.

I am just trying to get people to understand that they are getting all wrapped up in this and there is nothing valuable in this thread besides a few new dialer codes and words of wisdom. Has anyone paid any attention to some of the comments made by the devs in this thread? If people actually took time and looked at some of the recognized devs and contributors that have given their time to chime in on this they know that this is going nowhere fast. When root is found I assure you that the person who finds it will be well known for their past and present work on xda. I'm betting I get flamed by a bunch of people for this but it's the truth.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] treepog:
I've been trying to follow the thread from the start so please forgive me if the answer to this is obvious but I thought hellsgods had given the procedure to a couple guys already. If it did not work wouldn't they have chimed in to say it didn't rather than just leaving us here in purgatory ;) ??

Anyway, my Sprint S7 is still on original firmware and the thread originally started with the ##BRAND# procedure. I want to keep my phone how it is now without taking new updates. Will this ##BRAND# procedure help me with that? Is there any downside to doing this procedure? Should I start a new thread to ask this question? Thanks guys.

Based on the first few posts all you have to do is:

#1 Remove Sim

#2 Type ##BRAND# into dialer and OK

#3 Reboot phone and all branding is gone

#4 Run samsung package disable and debloat

#5 "Block the update crap before I put ur sim in" - How do I do this?

Are these the right steps?? Is one of the benefits of doing this that the phone will no longer take updates by itself?

They would also say "Hey this works, we're confirming it is valid across different models." But not a peep on that.
