So use the 930A file for the engboot?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] daddymikey1975:
I'd use the 935A if you're on sprint with a 935P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] sml2004:
I'm on 930P Im asking so we use the engboot file here for the 930A?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] daddymikey1975:
My reply was in the wrong thread, my apologies for hitting send too quickly.

You should use 930 if you have 930. Sprint should use 935

Alright. I started on firmware version PD3 (shortened down to the only changing variables, the last three characters) with no hotspot options in settings. Flashed to PE1. Still no hotspot options in settings. Flashed to PF2. Hotspot options returned in settings. Unless someone else found a fix for this, looks like you might have to flash the PF2 firmware (which will wipe your phone). Then reflash the engineering boot img. and then adb push the root. This method of root has more than it's share of obstacles. I had to wipe/factory reset my phone 5 times last week. Still acts a little freaky from time to time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Kidmet:
I first flashed PE1 and was missing the options. Reflashed PE1, hard reset the device and they returned. I recently flashed to PF2 to see if it would help my phone getting hot issues and it did. Could be a placebo affect, but my phone is pretty much exactly how I like it now. I usually only root for hotspot access.

---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

When I flashed PF2, my battery cooled a bunch. Not sure if that's why it did, but I had the same issues as you. What firmware are you on?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] joelstitch:
My phone has been running great with no issues since I got everything installed right. Thanks to everyone thats helping. Also, has anyone gotten Freedom to work? It keeps crashing for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] 94tbird:
does anyone have a link to flash the PF2 firmware? Will this cause me to lose root?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
Yes, if you flash stock you will lose root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] 94tbird:
Im assuming from a few psots above then I could use this method to reroot on PF2

No problem! Happy rooting!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] mhill1986:
Big thanks for this info. For me, this is by far the easiest way to get all the apns to fully set up (and I mean ALL the original apns). Just open the build prop, and toward the bottom, you will find...

ro.cdma.default_numeric=310000

Change the value to 310120

Then look for...

ro.cdma.default_alpha=Chameleon

and change "Chameleon" to Sprint

Reboot and enjoy your fully populated apns! I'm no sure if changing only one of these would work, as I have done both each time I've tried it (man, I've set this phone up too many times :p).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] izzibew26:
basically, if you've activated with sprint the apns are already there but until you change the numeric lines in the build.prop they aren't visible and can't be used.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
FYI to anyone who is still on PB5 for the fact that the Hotspot hack works by editing APNs, I can confirm (G935p ) that you can root and return back to full stock via the PB5 Odin file and still edit APNs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] optimummind:
G925P or G935P?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
Oooops edit G935P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] dhonzik:
That even brought back Network Mode:silly:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] LudivousKain:
Simply amazing! This practically brought tears to my eyes!

Thanks to everyone for all the hard work, as this worked beautifully on my 935P.

Now, if only I could figure out why adb backup/restore don't work with this engineer boot image... The usual confirmation prompt doesn't even appear. Google time!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] DetoxVenom:
This fixed alot but now I dont have 4g or 3g
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] mhill1986:
Hmm...not sure what to tell you. It is working fine on mine after making these changes. Anybody have any thoughts to troubleshoot for him?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] DetoxVenom:
Tried reactivate and other things but nothing it's not giving me data but registers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] LeftyGR:
Try changing # back to 310000
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] LudivousKain:
This fixed the repeated reactivation requests for me, populated all the APN settings, made my phone say "Sprint" instead of "Samsung" as the network provider, and caused "Sprint Zone" to come back.

I can confirm full network function (3g & 4g are both working), but APN settings are greyed out again. Thankfully, the hardworking developers here have blessed us with root!

On a side note, can anyone else confirm that Helium is broken? It was working before I flashed the engboot image, but now the "Full Backup" confirmation prompt doesn't display, causing all attempts at backing up or restoring to fail. Even the "adb backup" command fails to produce the confirmation dialog...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] makane716:
So, did you have .dun added in your apn settings for the wifi hotspot before you ran this fix? If so, does that stick after the fix?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] LudivousKain:
No, I didn't have the original hotspod mod. The activation would overwrite the APN settings anyway, as well as doing a PRL update.

I'm sure there's a way to edit them again now that we have root, though I haven't gotten around to researching that yet. I'm still hung up on trying to get adb backup/restore to work again. It's odd, like the device is ignoring the adb command even though I have adb set up correctly (push & pull work correctly... Even shell works.. Just not backup/restore).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] makane716:
Sorry, let me be more specific. Just flashing the engineering boot img. was enough to allow access to edit your apn's through-settings, mobile networks, access point names. Root or no root. I was wondering if the fix you ran greyed that all out again, making it impossible to add .dun for hotspot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] mhill1986:
Yes, this does grey out all the apn settings, so if you want to mod them in any way, you'll have to go a different direction. However, I'm not sure what happens if you change 310000 to 310120 but don't change chameleon to sprint. Might try that out? Sorry, I don't know what's going on behind the scenes, just that it accomplished what I wanted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] LudivousKain:
Okay, just confirmed. As long as you don't change "Chameleon" to "Sprint," the APN settings remain unlocked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] mhill1986:
Could you check if you can use the Sprint Zone app without changing the build prop to "Sprint"?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] makane716:
Sorry but I haven't read the full write up for this fix. By not changing Chameleon to Sprint, I assume then that the ALL the normal Apn's do not restore themselves. Or, I could stop bugging you all and READ it myself. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] LudivousKain:
What I did was follow the exact directions for Method A in the OP to restore data to restore ALL the APNs.

All the normal Sprint APNs are present and editable. The Sprint Zone app, however, is now called "Core Zone" and force-closes as soon as I open it. I've never used the app, and admittedly it was one of the first I disable with PackageDisablerPro lol. To me it's bloat, but I can understand why others would want to use it.

To restore it, once you edit the APNs to add DUN you could change Chameleon back to Sprint and it should keep your changes until you do a profile/PRL update. Then, just change ro.cdma.default_alpha to Chameleon, reboot, add the dun item, change ro.cdma.default_alpha back to Sprint, and reboot.

Somebody asked a while back if anybody was able to get wifi calling enabled. I don't think that ever got answered. Is it possible to have wifi calling with root? If so, how do you get it going?

How to: DATA & Complete APN Settings for the G935P on the CREDO network (Sprint MVNO)

This method works for PF2 and PE1. For PF2, let your phone update from PE1 to PF2 before you start the process.

Do everything exactly as in Post #2 with the following changes (step 5 and beyond):

If you are on the CREDO network, in Step 5

do not use Method A

(do not reactivate the 3 packages that were disabled) before installing the engboot file. If you reactivate them, you will irreversibly loose your phone connection and the APNs will not be accessible for editing. Then, the only way to recover phone and data will require using ODIN to reflash the original stock ROM files.

In Method B just enter the following APN2 LTE internet settings after entering ##DATA# in the dialer (note: the main difference from Sprint is that the APN is n.w1.ispsn and not n.ispsn:

Name: APN2 LTE internet

APN:

n.w1.ispsn

MMSC: http://mms.sprintpcs.com

Multimedia message proxy: 68.28.31.7

Multimedia message port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 000

APN type: default,mms

APN protocal: IPv4/IPv6

APN roaming protocal: IPv4/IPv6

Bearer: LTE

It is not necessary to enter the APN2 EHPRD internet settings, these will be repopulated later automatically after the build.prop changes detailed below are added.

Once you save the APN settings, your LTE data should start without having to reboot the phone, just wait about, at most, a minute and the LTE sign will show in the statusbar.

Then run Step 6 (root.bat)

After the phone reboots, you should still have LTE. Then use buildprop editor app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor and make the following changes in your build.prop file:

ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=310120

ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=CREDO

ro.telephony.default_network=8

ro.carrier=CREDO

Then reboot the phone.

After reboot you can check the APN settings in the dialer (##DATA#) and the complete set of all the CREDO APN's should now be there (see Thumbnail below):

REMEMBER: if you activate the 3 disabled packages at any point after installing the engboot you will loose data and phone and will need to go back to ODIN and start from scratch by reloading the stock ROM.

What's credo? Been seeing it a lot but don't know what ito is..I'm on sprint btw..thinking about rooting but not sure yet I'm on PF2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
Goto credomobile.com to see.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] donbudafuko:
I seen that but do I have/need to do that setup if I'm on sprint?

No.

Everything is working after root? from what i have read there some prob but it seems like they have been resolved?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] donbudafuko:
ok herd there is a recovery for are sprint s7 edge is that true an ware is it at if so...does it trigger the knox?

BTW rooted my phone an tweaked the kernel an got LTE...everything is running good so fare
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] mattrb:
Maybe this will work on U firmware?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] makane716:
Since my reason to root is for wifi hotspot, I experimented with this a little more today. It seems that the alpha value of ro.cdma.default_ (whether it is Chameleon, or Sprint) is cosmetic, as far as I can tell, as it applies to the mobile network settings. Switching between the two changed nothing that I could see except to change between "Sprint" and "Samsung" in the left of the notifications bar. Changing the value of ro.cdma.default_numeric is when the real changes take place.

If the value is left as 310000, the APN's I have by default with this root method are:

EHRPD-Wholesales OTA

Global Roaming-Wholesales

LTE-Wholsales

The settings are NOT greyed out and CAN be edited.

When I change ro.cdma.default_numeric to 310120 the defaults are:

APN0 EHRPD ota

APN0 LTE ota

APN2 EHRPD internet

APN2 LTE internet

APN5 WIFI vowifl

Gloabal Roaming-SPRINT

The settings ARE greyed out and CAN NOT be edited.

Since the process to edit the build prop. and reboot takes about a minute, it seems tolerable to me to switch between them as needed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] ryan2202:
want...to...try...but......my PEH is working so well I dont want to mess with it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] LudivousKain:
That's odd, and different than what I found during my own investigation. For me, i have 310120 and can edit the APNs just fine as long as I have Chameleon instead of Sprint specified as the alpha value... maybe it's different because I'm on PE1?

On a side note, could you help me out and post the vowifi apn details? That's the one I'm missing, and i suspect it should allow wifi calling to work again if I add it back.

I would havevbeen more active this weekend, but mobile signal is virtually absent in my basement apartment, and my landlord hasn't had the DSL fixed yet... I'm on the verge of calling the ISP, pretending I'm him, and getting them to send a tech out asap with a new modem... frustrating, living in 2016b without broadband...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] izzibew26:
you'll need more than the apns to get vowifi working, sorry. not sure exactly what else but one of the more experienced developers might have a clue on the dependencies.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] makane716:
I can. Getting ready for a meeting though. Give me a good 3-4 hours until I get home.

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

The vowifi settings are greyed out and inaccessible when present. Sorry. When I have it set so that I can access the settings, that entry is absent. ?

I got passed the LTE Boot screen when I had to re flash back to stock and tried over again. I am on the "PF 2" rom. Now I have another problem the activation screen will not activate after I have tried 5 times and still doesn't activate. I was trying for the method A option where I enabled the 3 options and it still hasn't been able to activate. I am stuck on that part. I've seen other users have problems with this but wasn't solved yet. any advice please? thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] izzibew26:
reflash the stock firmware, with the packages enabled. let it set up and activate, then disable those packages, now go ahead and flash the engboot, and run root. when you're done go ahead and change your build.prop to accept your stock apns. [MENTION=5840143]colormedroid[/MENTION], I think it's time to put the build.prop edits in the OP as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] makane716:
Again, this is covered in the op. If the phone doesn't activate through settings, you have to manually add the LTE APN. Or edit the build prop as it has been discussed the last couple of pages-

Big thanks for this info. For me, this is by far the easiest way to get all the apns to fully set up (and I mean ALL the original apns). Just open the build prop, and toward the bottom, you will find...

ro.cdma.default_numeric=310000

Then look for...

ro.cdma.default_alpha=Chameleon

and change "Chameleon" to Sprint

Reboot and enjoy your fully populated apns! I'm no sure if changing only one of these would work, as I have done both each time I've tried it (man, I've set this phone up too many times :p).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] LeftyGR:
Yes. I did. That and a few other things. I did get lte data. But no in/out going calls or text.

Edit: this is my initial post from 935U thread when i thought i had it...:

***********

Got data to work with root!

After comparing the build.prop files of the 935P and 935U, I found some stuff missing. This is what I did:

1. Flashed 935U Firmware as usual. Set up Google Account.

2. Downloaded Package Disabler Premium and a Root Explorer (I used ES File Explorer Pro)

3. Disabled com.samsung.android.securitylogagent, com.sec.android.soagent, com. wssyncmldm, com.sprint.omadmspr, com.sec.omadmspr.syncmlphoneif

4. Rooted and Installed SuperSU as normal (well, normal for us...)

5. Once rebooted, I added the following to the build.prop using ES File Explorer:

ro.ril.ecclist=911,#911,*911
ril.subscription.types=NV,RUIM
ro.com.android.dataroaming=true
ro.telephony.default_network=22
ro.cdma.default_numeric=310000
ro.cdma.default_alpha=Sprint

6. Reboot

7. APNs are now able to be added to. So I added

Name: APN2 LTE internet
APN: n.ispsn
MMSC: [url]http://mms.sprintpcs.com[/url]
Multimedia message proxy: 68.28.31.7
Multimedia message port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 000
APN type: default,mms,dun
APN protocal: IPv4/IPv6
APN roaming protocal: IPv4/IPv6
Bearer: LTE

And that's it.

Bug: If anyone can help me with it, no messaging.

**********

I also tried tweaking other build.prop values, copying apn xml files, etc once i found out about the phone problem.

I've been looking into other options, but haven't had the time to actually do anything yet.
