Yeah that's the only step that replaces systemui framework and incallui so you'll need the base software to match :) Kernels (the eng boot) are a bit more flexible. You might be able to grab what you want to backup via "adb pull" and "adb shell" in your broken state but OP clearly stated what software you need

Hmm how should I shut my phone off? power doesn't work and it just looping those dots.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] slowz3r:
Power+Vol down+homescreen will do the trick and get you back to download mode.

Having same issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] n4noAbyss:
Yeah its my fault, lesson learned to not do this kind of thing at 2 am, with little sleep.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] slowz3r:
Ok, well I let it do its thing at the Verizon boot screen for about 20 minutes now and I don't think its going to budge at all. All Its doing is making my phone hot.

Kind of disappointed. I was really hoping to have a rooted device again since its been so long.

Pretty defeated right now. :(

Back to stock I go...Again.

EDIT: I should also note that I tried booting in safemode and still got the same thing

It happens :p I've killed basebands to the point where I had to buy a new phone.. Best to be attentive, sober (lol.. guilty myself), and read every single line of instructions. Best of luck on back to stock and rooting. Feel free to PM me if you need
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] n4noAbyss:
Its worth a try to use adb, thanks for the suggestion. So I put the phone in download mode, connect it to pc, then run the adb commands, but 'adb wait-for-device' never sees the phone (unlike when I did the superSU root). Is there something that I'm missing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] djh816:
Nah in this case you want to do normal boot. While it hangs adb insecure mode might be active for you to grab stuff. Adb won't work in download afaik. You'd "adb shell" while hung and navigate around using unix "cd" and "ls" commands. then on computer once you know your file paths, use "adb pull" to grab them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] slowz3r:
Need to enable USB debugging first. No need to place it in download mode for ADB

I have the at&t S7 Edge (G935A). I rooted, flashed V15 and xposed but can not send texts. I have reflashed v15 and wiped all caches but still no luck getting text to send. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Edit: I just installed the AOSP Messaging app from Google Play and that works fine.

Odin-ed Samsung_G930x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.tar on my Sprint 930P and ran supersu flash package. Right away had issue with wireless not keeping password and device not activating. Flash-fired fixes. Wireless password was fixed but device still wouldn't activate. Factory restored and flashed to PF2 and tried again with same results. Restored to PF2 again and allowed PH7 update but still would not activate. Any thoughts?

One other thing the battery life is terrible on PH7.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] SooHooStuff:
Ok. How did you get your phone to run so smoothly? I rooted, then using flashfire i flashed the two fixes, but there was still a ton of lag for me. I tried to improve this by using seeder, but that only went so far.

Did anyone here root successfully S7 Edge G9350 Hong Kong version ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
This is so perplexing? There is one called Kernel Adiutor for root from play store and use flashfire. There's xda threads on it too I'm sure, but it's pretty straight forward. But I'm still confounded by the lag your experiencing. Must be a Verizon thing??

Maybe try that U firmware that's here on xda.....but read up on it before committing.....and you didn't hear it from me if something goes wrong.....just in case. But I did read it was suppose to be good, if it's for your phone that is. Good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Boogeryouans:
You dont need TWRP. Flash using Flashfire from the Playstore. I tried the different kernel apps and never did get rid of the lag. I was about to give up but then decided to flash the Stang5liter Rom. The phone runs perfect now.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Slimicus:
This has happened to me twice now too, apps start crashing, reboot and now my phone is dead, stuck in a boot loop. Gets to the white screen with the AT&T logo and vibrates, once, then a two pulse vibrate, then a pause, then repeats. All I can do is factory reset. The first time my phone lasted a day, this time it lasted 4-5 days? Seems risky if it can last many days and then happen at random.

A few questions about rooting a phone from a different carrier on Verizon...

In the OP, the Verizon fix+debloat is said to "bypass Verizon's Wi-Fi hotspot tethering provisioning". Does this mean when using a T-Mobile, AT&T, or any other carrier's device that tethering is already enabled (or not blocked) and does not need this work-around?

If it does NOT mean this, could I just flash the Verizon fix+debloat version on any of the other carrier's phones and be able to use the Hotspot with Verizon's service?

Lastly, the OP says for this works for all carrier's devices. I understand this method will root all versisons of this device, but I guess I'm curious if I will have the same function when using a phone on a different carrier. I would like to use 64gb T-Mobile version on Verizon. Any problems or loss of functions?

Thanks so much,

root seems a pipe dream on my tmo s7 edge. very grateful for the guide and the others on the various s7 threads, but digging through all the steps, applying patches, tweaking the CPU, phone oscillates between running smooth as butter to a screeching unfunctional overheated halt. it's so nice to have ads blocked again, but the phone is basically a hot brick 50% of the time.

I am currently trying to root an S7. I'm running ODIN in a virtual machine and it has been hanging at "boot.img" with no progress for over 15 minutes which seems to be longer than it should take. Any suggestions? Is the virtual machine the issue? I killed ADB in macOS as well (the host machine) just in case, but still no luck. Thanks.

Edit: Never mind, fixed the issue. I was just using a version of Windows that was too old. Windows 10 worked, flashed in less than 20 seconds.

Presuming you're flashing 1) the factory firmware and 2) the same or newer version as currently on your phone, try using the Odin attached in this post and see if proceeds to flash.

Sure there are plenty of issues to work through, but the v15 fix script solves 99.99% of the problems and then the phone is like new again.

As much as I hate to say it, most of the major reported problems occur after xposed is installed. So if you don't really need it, don't install it.

This is exactly what I was hoping to hear. It's tough to follow the long thread and see where things are now. I don't need xposed as I only want root for Titanium Backup and Wifi tethering on my legacy plan.

So if I buy a new S7, out of the box with whatever version of android it's running I should be good to root? Or do I need to cross my fingers it's running some older version?

If it's ph1 you're fine to root and run the v15 fix. Pretty sure pi2 is the same but if you mess up you'll need the same firmware to fix cause you can't go backwards from the newer updates.

What variant phone? If you want to update firmware....go to settings and ota your updates. It depends on phone variant what your updated firmware will be. Most are rootable but not reversible, so check before you get into problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] gdecker:
I know that at least on Sprint the ota will detect root and not update and I believe if one could get the ota, it would break root. I've been thinking about flashing ph7 again and giving it a go.

Sorry, I didn't mean, did you ota after rooting pe1.....I meant, did you rescue with pe1 and root that or did you rescue with pe1 then ota back up to ph7 and then were able to root that on the second try. But you basically answered that by thinking of flashing back ph7 and trying to root again. So I'm assuming you rescued with pe1 and rooted that. Still good info, knowing that on Sprint you can roll back ph7 to pe1. Very good to know.

I'm searching for the same information. Could someone help us with the question please. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] nlysurferdude03:
I also just came to the S7 (the G930V) from the Note 7. Tried reading through several pages and doing a few searches, but I can't find clear info on what needs to be done on the PF2 build from July. I don't see a particular build that must be started from, so I'm assuming (we all know what that does) most if not all builds thus far are rootable? Most information I came across mentions what seems to be a build or 2 before mine, and a few builds after, so I just want to make sure what I need to do is correct.

1) Is this build (PF2) rootable?

2) If not, do I need to upgrade to a later (or latest) OTA or downgrade to an earlier build for a "better" or "more complete" root experience without the problems I've read about?

3)If this build is rootable, I noticed a flashable fix zip (v15 I think) that some have or have not flashed with mixed results. Does this fix zip pertain to me as well, or only on certain builds/situations?

4)Since my phone came with the PF2 build, If I ever wanted to revert back to stock and take OTA's without failing (like I've read has happened to some, not being able to take latest OTA's) can I flash the available PE1 build and take all consecutive OTA's without issue? Do we know what is causing the failed OTA upon reverting back to stock?

I'm not sure if I need to do the whole "return to stock" to PE1 listed in the OP and start this whole root process, or if I'm fine with starting from my current PF2 build and going from there. I would hate to try to downgrade to the earlier build available, just to find out the hard way via bricked phone, that you can't downgrade the PF2 build lol.

Also, one last thing. In the Note 7 forums, it was stated that in order to achieve root, an sdcard is required. Does any step in this process require an sdcard, or can I perform this without an sdcard, from the phones internal storage? If I'm complicating this more than it is, my apologies. That's what happens when I don't start from the beginning and come in to the dev scene 8 months late for this particular phone. A lot of work can happen in that time, so I'm just trying to figure out where I fit in to get a starting point with this phone. Thanks a ton for any help that may come my way! :good::highfive::victory:
