I did a factory reset boot up fine and then push supersu, all is good now, thanks .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] TechBSwift:
Congrats bro and welcome to root
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Soooperstar:
Out of curiosity, have any of you guys that rooted and went back to stock, checked to see if knox was tripped, if the phone still says custom, Samsung pay work when you went back? Also are the Apn settings unlocked while rooted?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jawonder:
I''m seeing "Vo LTE" along with a big "S" looking icon in my status bar , thought i saw something about in the thread was looking but didn't find it . Anyone know ?.

Also what Xposed mods are you guys using ?. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] AKW:
I've seen at least one user report that flashing back to stock will allow Samsung pay to continue to work. KNOX does not get tripped with this method since the ENG Boot is signed by Samsung.

Imsservice needss to be changed search on this thread imsservice
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Soooperstar:
Cool thanks.......working hotspot?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ykjae:
Yes you need to replace the imsservice.. Search imsservice in this thread. And you must change permissions or won't have service
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] AKW:
Not sure. I haven't seen anyone mention the hotspot, but I will say that, more than likely, your best experience with root will be to flash This. If anyone can get it working (if it doesn't already) it'll be TEK.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ykjae:
Xtether on xposed
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jawonder:
Searched but i found only the two quotes on this page with "imsservice".
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ykjae:
I couldn't find it on here either when I just redid the search if I find it I'll repost it

Im on PD3 should i update before root?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] AKW:
Yes, update to the latest PD8. Especially if you want to flash TEK's Mod.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] beachbumsurfs:
Anyone on Sprint get this working? I Odin and root but the phone stays trying to Activate. Once it reaches the 5 attempts it goes to a black screen saying it is active but when I hit done to get out of the menu it continues to reboot and starts the sequence over to activate.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] konoplya:
so Samsung pay works then??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] TechBSwift:
Not while rooted, but if you want to use it you Jose return Bach to stock firmware
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] konoplya:
I see, thanks. is there a reason why it doesn't work on rooted phone? I thought it had something to do with Knox being tripped but if it didn't trip Knox then I assumed it would work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] TechBSwift:
The system still know the phone is running unauthorized software so it prevents it, which is actually a good thing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] konoplya:
got it. thanks. now, i have about 100 packages disabled on my tmobile s7, would i have to reenable them back and then disable only the ones required to root or can i just leave it as is?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] canynballa:
under notifications where it says checking device press and hold then on the next screen select the "i" symbol next to the name and force stop it then under settings select activate device then use a package disabler to disable the two packages named dm service which it will prevent future problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] beachbumsurfs:
In on APD3 should i update first?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] canynballa:
if you want I was
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] beachbumsurfs:
Great that worked. Now just need data to work. Is yours working?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] canynballa:
Yeah you have to pull down the notifications long press on where it says checking device and force close it then in settings at the bottom choose activate device to get data (it might take a couple trys) then use a package disabler to disable dm service packages to prevent further problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] beachbumsurfs:
This finally worked thank you so much ????. It took like over 20 times but finally got the data to stock. Sorry for being sick a pain.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] canynballa:
Yeah at first you have to work out some bugs but once you get it going it's great.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ReDxKinG:
If I may, what exactly is the benefit of rooting without a fully unlocked bootloader? Also correct me if im wrong but isn't the included kernel unstabl/buggy?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Soooperstar:
You can flash mods and use root apps...... Yes a little buggy. You can pretty much do everything but make a full recovery backup or restore.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] LeftyGR:
Actually you can backup/restore with flashfire.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Soooperstar:
Not with a locked bootloader you can't. The developer of FlashFire himself (chainfire) even said you can't.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] LeftyGR:
I just backed up and restored /system. Maybe that was the case, or is the case for certain partitions. There are some marked "protected", that i didn't try. It will be a while, but I'll post pics to prove later tonight.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Soooperstar:
I don't think it backs up data though.... Correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] TechBSwift:
I have to believe it can backup data since apps like titanium backup can backup data.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Soooperstar:
Others say it didn't work. Have you tried?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] LeftyGR:
It backed up data, i just didn't try restore because of time.

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 PM ----------
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Soooperstar:
Question is will it restore? Can someone confirm?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] TechBSwift:
If leftygr says something works he's normally is right. He's the type of dude that's anal like me when it comes to the details.

A rule of thumb is to never restore data because it can cause conflicts with the new system. Now I will be the first to admit sometimes i restore data. I try my best to minimize what I restore, like only the important time consuming processes like setting up my email app that has 6 email accounts. Still wrong but minimized
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Soooperstar:
Thanks for the info..... I'm a avid flasher/backup and restore data person. About to root and like to mod, but like to have a handy backup. Was hesitant to try without a working twrp. Read this on chainfire's thread so was curious if someone has actually confirmed a restore.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] TechBSwift:
Totally understand, I use to be a flashaholic until I became a full time programmer. Now looking at code after office hours pisses me off lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] LeftyGR:
What pisses me of are androids. Walking around all high and mighty. "Oh! Look at me! I look like a human but think like a computer! I got perfect teeth and can calculate pi to infinity! What, you can root your phone? Oh... that's so 1847. LOL 10110010!"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ReDxKinG:
Thanks for the replies guys as I now have a better understanding of what is and what isn't possible with root now. I have another question; will this root method allow for the influx of custom roms for our sprint devices? Or will that not be fully possible until we have unlocked bootloader? What about development of custom kernels?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] CNexus:
Custom kernels, nope since they need to be signed.

Custom Roms: yes. I can personally tell you that there is at least 1 in the works ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ^I'm_With_Stupid:
Excellent point, which is why I'm a little hesitant to call this "root gained" just yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] CVertigo1:
I just disabled sysscope and I'm not rooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] CVertigo1:
I'm hoping he found a way to run scripts and gain root, but the pictures don't show any proof.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Son Rise:
It will pick up eventually
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Ramer:
The OP has 20 posts to his name. If he truly had root, let's see the steps to gain it. Call me extremely skeptical. :eek:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] v8dreaming:
Just another troll, most likely. Some guy tried to pull the same kind of thing in the T-Mobile S7 Edge forum. Claimed he had something, posted some blurry screen shots, and disappeared.

All 20 of those posts are in this thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] mikeyinid:
This happens way to often. I was just suggesting this could possibly not pan out and to be prepared.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] FilthyFord:
I can get to the and folder as his screen shot. This means nothing. Still have fingers crossed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] hellsgods91:
Root has been gained...knox not flagged but I am not going into the bootloader untill I make it say offical because I don't want to risk it flagging because this is my only phone and a baller on a budget
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] hellsgods91:
Also u are able to gain offical again after u re-enable all the secure apps...basically it just confuses the OS and u have full control I really need help from like chainfire or who ever else because if I do anything else it could fk up what I've done so far
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] hellsgods91:
And yes sys scope will flag the system but. Not if u disable some of the services that report to the service mode or bootagent

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ^I'm_With_Stupid:
Agreed, he might be from some other forum or maybe he just got lucky. Or maybe he just wasn't on xda before.

Edit: according to Tapatalk he's a member of the Asus and OPPO forums.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jdidtht:
But if he has root, a screen shot proving it would only take a second. Why not just upload a screen shot? It's been more than enough time
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] meyerweb:
You can read /data without root. Did he prove he could write to it?

In order to install this do you need to have the eng kernel and can this be done with pg1 firmware.

I'm not 100 on the ENG Kernel, but you can't flash if you've updated to PG1. It includes the v3 bootloader and the U firmware is still on v2.

You are welcome to send me your method and I'll give it a shot on my Verizon S7. I can probably help you refine the method as well, if it actually works. I'm not concerned with tripping Knox or bricking the phone for the most part. My S5 is damn near flawless, so I wouldn't be upset if I had to go back to it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] CVertigo1:
I'll look over the method and give it a shot. PM sent.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] sirslipzalot:
Thoughts? Is it legit?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] CVertigo1:
There is no proof that it is legit, but I'll give it a shot. If it works, then I'll post a proof of concept. The way I see it, it's hard to do irreparable damage without root, so if it doesn't work then I can restore it without issue. I've only hard bricked two devices that I couldn't recover, one was flashing incorrect firmware that was a digit off, and the other was due to incorrectly writing a swap file. I've learned from my mistakes over the years lol. I'll obviously look over everything before I blindly attempt running it on my device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] AKW:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] CVertigo1:
I won't pass any information without the finder's approval. I'd also verify the integrity of the process before passing on any info that could be malicious or pointless.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] denpth:
Correct me if I am wrong, but if you are able to write to ./data/ wouldn't the next step to be to write SuperSU to ./data/ so that you can have permanent root permissions and make it authorize other apps. As long as it's in the system folder it will work right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] CVertigo1:
The issue with Marshmallow is that Verity scans the system during boot, and it won't allow it to boot if it finds SuperSU. SuperSU for Marshmallow is systemless, so it is not embedded in the system, and it executes on boot if I recall. That way it doesn't show up when Verity does it's scan. Systemless SU requires a patched kernel to run, which requires an unlocked bootloader. I'm skeptical that SuperSU can be run without an unlocked bootloader, but maybe someone will find a way some day.

I'm still up for trying out your method and helping out...I'm off for the day and have much experience in developing and writing code
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] system0verload:
Kudos to you, if this method indeed works.

If I was you, I would side with caution and would avoid getting carried away and make bold statements like the one you posted above. Your method, regardless of how valid it may be, just gives the engineers one more way they neglected on how to secure the system. Let's hope they don't catch up to this anytime soon. Great job on your findings and hopefully it works across the board
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] MegaNoob:
So if your method works, does this mean we will be able to flash custom roms? Or just gain root? (Not that just root wouldn't be great) I say this because you say after you confirm it works you will "post the complete firmware to flash" which leads me to believe you bypassed the signature check or figured out how to sign the firmware so we pass the signature check.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] thekojac:
If this method essentially bypasses the signature check or signs unofficial firmware as official, wouldn't this also mean we could potentially get root/custom ROMs without tripping Knox?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] nexus6R3plicant:
You can essentially flash a ROM ....similar to the safe strap that was on several phones .... but not a kernel ....

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] LeftyGR:
Safestrap is a custom recovery solution that acts as a shell (best way to describe, not necessarily what it actually is) on top of stock recovery, not a replacement. You can still enter stock recovery with safestrap installed. It will function with a locked bootloader. If that is what this potential exploit would get us, there could be no non stock custom ROMs or any kernels. Those will require an unlocked bl.
