This eng kernel (and pretty much all files in the op) is for Marshmallow and if you were on Nougat, that's why you bootloop ed.

Go here: https://xdaforums.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/heres-how-rooted-nougat-s7-edge-g935t-t3567502

and odin the eng boot img from that thread and it should boot. Then you can run the root.bat from that thread and continue the root process.

If flashing that eng kernel doesn't allow your phone to boot, you'll need to odin your full Nougat firmware (links can be found on that same thread).

Bootloop

I follwed each step to a T, and my Verizon S7 Edge keeps getting stuck in bootloop. Is there any other step I may be missing? I was able to recover the device so that it is now operable.

Hi I just bought second hand verizon galaxy s7 flat SM-G930V , the sim has been unlocked so I can use any sim card on it, it runs android 6.0.1 , baseband version is G930VVRS4APH1, I want to root it, install xposed and debloat it, it I my questions are:

1-if I follow the method in the op, does it affect the baseband, I mean will my sim still be unlocked? or do I have to unlock it again?

2-if I upgrade to nougat does it also upgrade the baseband, and will it also relock the sim? if so can I unlock it?

thanks

3-which one should I flash the V version or U version,

I definitely flashed V8 and just for good measure, just flashed V6 and then V8 again. When I flashed V6, the blank settings were gone. But when I re flashed V8, the blank settings buttons returned. Would flashing V9 or V10 take care of this? If not, I can just ignore them...

Another weird thing after rooting, I use Android Auto on this to link up the radio on my Chevy Silverado. It connects via a USB cable. Before PE1, I would have to either go into Developer Options and manually change the setting under Networking for USB configuration from charging to MTP or pull down the top bar and change the USB charging to MTP. When the upgrade for PE1 came along, the phone would automatically recognize the radio and change from USB charging to MTP without having to do anything. I didn't get a chance to try it just after rooting and before applying the debloat zips. What do you think changed that the phone will no longer automatically detect the radio? I know that I can manually change the USB configuration, it was just a lot quicker and convenient once it started doing that automatically.

ETA: This thread is moving fast. I just saw in post #357 to try turning off USB debugging for the charging/MTP options. I will give that a shot and see...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
I did remove those options -- however, XTouchWiz (an Xposed module) is writing to /system/csc/feature.xml and re-enabling it even though it is disabled in /system/csc/others.xml. Additionally, even if I write a startup script that changes feature.xml, too, XTouchWiz is flipping it back on. Wanam doesn't seem to do this. I just wound up uninstalling XTouchWiz and deleting /system/csc/feature.xml to remove those additional menu options. There won't be a V11 patch for this. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] mikeyk101:
Update on my Android Auto problem. When I went into the Developer Options, I discovered that USB debugging was turned off already. Not sure how that happened as I always leave it enabled. I enabled it and the Mylink radio recognized it right away after plugging in the USB cable. All is well again.

Thanks for the script (generic) working great on PG1 tmobile. A couple things didn't stick but I fixed the issue (volte icons and WiFi password fix)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] cuezaireekaa:
I can also confirm, v10 working well on T-Mobile but I'm on pd8.

Everything seems good

I ran the script after I'd done the wifi fix and service icons fix previously so I can't say if I noticed it skip them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] n4noAbyss:
V8 did work for me on a fresh stock PE1.

I wanted to report though that I have a blank menu item, but i definitely didn't install xposed or wanam (I do have titanium backup installed but thats really the only root app that I installed before flashing v8) Oh I have Nova Launcher too, maybe thats an issue?

EDIT: Also I don't have feature.xml in my system/csc/ directory (I'm using Solid Explorer, I see other stuff in there like allowed_apps.xml, contents.db etc)

Also even disabling USB debugging (or even dev options) doesn't reenable the option to chose MTP or other USB to computer options for me.

EDIT: I got this to work by going into another option in the dev options, and selecting MTP in another USB option list.

Am running g935u firmware & no issues, only thing is the wifi fix didn't stick after reboot so had to manually fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] seandop:
FWIW, if you install the XSecureStorage module in Xposed and leave the build.prop file alone (ro.securestorage.support=true), it will make private mode work. At least, it did for me on the G935V. I did do a factory reset before flashing the eng boot. No lag due to secure storage trying to mount ad infinitum.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Please give the new V11 a try and see if the WiFi fix sticks now.

S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_Debloater_V11.zip (MD5 hash 93EF7241CBBD36292D0B856AB3FAB9B0) (any Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge)

Please also flash my generic V11 over the Verizon V8 you have. It should clear that right up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] SanguiniusWept:
So if V11 is an improvement over the Verizon V8, why do the instructions say to flash V8? Why not a single zip for all phones (ie, the best one available, which at this point is V11)?

Not trying to be argumentative in any way, just trying to figure out what a person with a Verizon phone is supposed to do for the best results. The instructions say to flash V8. The instructions say V11 is for generic/non-Verizon phones. But your post here says V11 is better than V8 for Verizon phones. It's a little confusing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
The Verizon variants flash framework-res.apk to /system/framework, which bypasses Verizon's hotspot tethering provisioning. Flashing this to non-PE1 firmwares or non-Verizon phones would cause bootloop. That's why I have one section for Verizon and one section for others. If you're on the Verizon V8 already, you don't need to do anything (although it won't hurt to upgrade to the non-Verizon V11 either).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] SanguiniusWept:
You implied earlier that V11 fixes for Verizon users something that V8 does. So, ideally, Verizon owners should flash V8, then V11, while non-Verizon owners should go straight to flashing V11? If that's the case, could you edit the instructions to include information like this? As of now, the implication is that V8 is the last flash necessary for Verizon users.

Thanks for the hard work, by the way. You've done some awesome things here. I'm enjoying reading these posts and getting ready to jump into this, once the bugs are worked out. I just want to make sure that when I do jump in, I'm doing the right thing to get rid of said bugs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Skizzy034:
There are some things in your zip that I don't want to enable, but I was wondering if you could tell me what the cpu idling/sleep fix is so I can just use that one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
I just uploaded a Verizon V11 version. There's really nothing different from V8 to V11 for Verizon, but I'll concede that it will help with any confusion on what's 'better' and which steps to take.

Well after fighting with my Verizon S7 edge for couple months I decided time to go back to stock and unroot and try another method. The lag get extremely annoying at times and I have more problems out of the phone then before. Problem is was getting ready to start unroot process and realized my phone will not connect to PC anymore. I have tried different cables, Ports and PCs. It will charge the device when connecting but options in notification drop down do not show anything other then transfer. USB Debugging is enabled too but not having options for Media Transfer, Mass Storage or Installer. Any assistance would be great appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Krog18:

Hello - I ran into a problem and hope someone can help me. I was following this OP exactly as it was written to ROOT.

My phone is T-Mobile Galaxy S7 Edge ( G935T ) Android 7.0 - I decided to be sure my phone was stock before I went on

to root it. I had read somewhere that it is best to come from stock. So I used the method described in this same thread.

1) Install Samsung USB device drivers

[OK DONE]

2) Connect the phone to PC via USB.

[OK DONE]

3) Download and extract Odin3 v3.12 (try either version)

[OK ( tried both )]

4) Download and extract the Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge stock firmware image appropriate for your model of phone:

[OK I got this one]

TMB_G935TUVU3APG1.zip (MD5 hash EB35AB39E178C3EC442632FE6D61B0B5) (T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge)

5) I unzipped the file. I then loaded them into Odin, and hit start....

It completed ok... was a little fast ?? but seemed ok. I then Power off the phone and turn it back on trying to get into download mode

BUT it just loaded the boot screen image and went into a non-stop boot-loop or/and stuck at the Samsung image at boot up.

I heard that I could fix this boot loop using a Verizon loader so I tried this one:

G935VVRU4API3_CL8875708_QB11198937_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT <-- Verizon

This DID complete and I am now able to get to the main menu and connect via WiFi to the internet, but of course, it won't run any data because I have a T-Mobile.

So I am asking for help .... Could someone please tell me what I should do now ? I guess I need to go back into Odin and flash to TMB Stock ? Then try Root again ..?? If so,

could you tell me which loader I should use to go back to TMB Stock Nougat 7.0 ?

I will try whatever ... Thank you :)

I made it down through this guide until getting to the flashfire step for Xposed install and I forgot to add the additional step to wipe the cache. It is now half way through updating applications.

Should I run it again and this time wipe the cache or what should I do? Thanks!

P.S. I had to run the root.bat twice. It appeared to add SU to the phone but there was no SU icon. I rebooted and still no SU icon. Then I decided to run it again and it took this time and the SU app icon then appeared.

**** answer to my own question: Running just the wipe caused various errors, running the entire procedure, flashing the zip with the additional wipe command "again" fixed the problem

I have the ATT version of the S7. I followed the guide, all the way up to the part where I use Odin to install Samsung_G930x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR. I was using the PrinceComsy version of Odin because the non PrinceComsy version would not run on my computer. When the phone went to re-start it got stuck in a bootloop. I've tried following the unroot instructions and feel like I've made things worse. Can anyone out there help me fix my phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Donphillipe:
I suppose you have a quality round (not flat) data cable and you ran the CMD prompt to test the communication path from the computer to the phone using adb wait-for-device command. Also I found problems with USB2 drivers and had to use my USB3 port on Windows 7 to connect to the phone to get the driver to work properly.

Fixed my AT&T S7 Bootloop

Update: Success!!! My AT&T model S7 got stuck in a boot loop after I tried running the root flash and I could only turn it on in download mode. I was finally able to get my phone working again. I initially tried to use the firmware provided on the UNROOT/returning to stock instructions. I also initially tried using PrinceComsy version of Odin. This combination did not work. I also downloaded the newest developer version of Nougat for the AT&T Galaxy S7 G930A and when I tried flashing the phone it did not work. I was stuck with a phone in a constant boot loop and no option but to keep it in download mode.

This is what finally did: I downloaded the latest version of Odin to use... (Odin3_v3.12.7) I also found the Marshmallow 6.0.1 version of the Android software for my model of AT&T phone G930A. I also made sure that I waited to connect the phone to the computer until after I both had the phone in download mode and had Odin3_v3.12.7 turned on. After connecting my phone to the computer I loaded in the AP, BL, CP and CSC files. I hit start and the phone finally restarted back at zero again.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Donphillipe:
Great news! I am wondering if your Android 6.0.1 had some fixes on it that mine did not. My AT&T S7 had been in the box for some time and I recently purchased it from "old stock" of several months ago. Perhaps that is why my 6.0.1 took off with this install with no problem and yours would not update with the moded Odin. Perhaps it had some fixes on it mine did not.

Noob stuck in a bootloop

Hey everyone.

So I have a Boost S7 with a custom rom (I had it unlocked at a phone place. Boost refused to unlock it, and I was going on vacation / needed it to work overseas).

I followed all the instructions here, and it appeared to work, but now i'm stuck in a bootloop.

The non-PrinceComsy version of Odin doesn't work for me, so I found another one on here Odin 3.12.7, tried it from there, same result.

Not sure what to do at this point.

Any ideas?

PS I don't want to un-root it and start from scratch. Reason I'm doing this at all is to recover some deleted photos with Dr. Fone, and it doesn't really work without root. Wiping the phone would cancel any chance of recovering them.

You can find the stock firmware here. https://xdaforums.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/odin-stock-nougat-firmware-t3570156
