Hello, another victim of the BOOT LOOP. I've been able to flash to stock and tried rooting about 3 times. Following the instructions closely. I'm trying to flash the rooted firmware provided in the original post. Odin PrinceComsy. Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930V Verizon. As far as I'm aware, I'm using all the correct files and programs. I can get my version of odin to flash the stock rom successfully.

What I'm using:

Samsung Galaxy S7 Verizon SM-G930V

Windows 10 Insider Build 14986

Fancy USB 3.0 Cable and USB 3.0 front panel header (Phone says "ODIN MODE(HIGH SPEED)")

Provided in OP: SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones

Provided in OP: Odin3_v3.12_PrinceComsy

Provided in OP: Samsung_G930x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR

I'm using ADB from Android Studio 2.3

Google USB Driver 11

Android SDK tools 25.0.4

Before Root I'm flashing the stock rom (working). Here are my stock rom files:

AP_G930VVRU4BQA4_CL10280325_QB12869021_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5

CP_G930VVRU4BQA4_CL10280325_QB12869021_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

CSC_VZW_G930VVZW4BQA4_CL10280325_QB12869021_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

When I try to flash the rooted firmware this is the log from odin:

<ID:0/004> Added!!

<ID:0/004> Odin engine v(ID:3.1203)..

<ID:0/004> File analysis..

<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/004> Initialzation..

<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/004> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/004> RQT_CLOSE !!

<ID:0/004> RES OK !!

<ID:0/004> Removed!!

<ID:0/004> Remain Port .... 0

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)

Is 'RQT_CLOSE !!' an error message?

After the phone restarts, it's stuck in the infamous boot loop. No error messages. I'm beginning to think the original rooted firmware provided in the original post is no longer compatible somehow. Or maybe the version of adb I'm using doesn't work with wait-for-device. When I run wait-for-device it doesn't give any indication that it's doing anything. No messages, can use other commands.

I've been trying to root an android device for about 6 years and have never been able to do it successfully. Why must phone manufacturers give us Andoid(linux) devices and take away SuperUser permissions? What is linux without sudo?

I realize this issue might have been troubleshooted earlier in this thread, but my search through 350 pages hasn't yielded any meaningful results. If you need any more information, don't hesitate to ask.

[Edit] I did a lot more reading and I think my issue is that I've been running Nougat. Has there been a confirmation that odin can rollback to an earlier version? Like MM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Krog18:
You can either use this firmware to rollback to MM PI3 http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=578E12D6B01511E6B04AFA163EE8F90B (make sure you include all 4 files BL, AP, CP and CSC) or you can stay on QA4 and root with the Nougat eng kernel from here https://xdaforums.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/heres-how-rooted-nougat-s7-edge-g935t-t3567502

In regards to your adb wait for device issue, make sure usb debugging is enabled in developer options and USB configuration is set to mtp

When I flash the rooted boot image, everything goes fine. However, I can't make or receive phone calls or texts. I've tried resetting the PRL and profile, but that does nothing. The APNs look normal to me. I'm running S7 Sprint with stock Marshmallow, and this was a fresh flash of Marshmallow. When I try to send a text I get an error "code 97."

Any suggestions?

Sorry ..... been out of the country... the Chinese characters w/triangle is a issue where the Odin files that work with Odin are not in the right location. When you got and unzipped Odin there should have been a couple of other files with the Odin executable. If I remember right they all have to be in the same folder in c and maybe also be ran from that folder..... been a while :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] yomitancho:
Everything was in the same file. Thanks for the reply, I my issue was caused by my own negligence I wasn't paying attention as [MENTION=7387489]Krog18[/MENTION] had pointed my issue which was that I was runinng nougat and he provided me with the link to the correct information that I needed to follow.

Stuck in Bootloop.

Trying to install the rooted file from Odin 3 just gives me an error about SHA-256. The prince one gets to the pass, but still stuck in Bootloop.

Unable to install xposed in rooted galaxy s7 sm-930F marshmallow

So after struggling real hard I finally managed to root my phone and I also did the flashfire step, and the reason why I wanted to root my phone is to install xposed but I have been unable :( I tried installing the latest xposed version (v87) for my phone (ARM64, because its a galaxy s7 sm-930f as stated before), I did it in TWRP recovery and I also tried doing it in flashfire but both ways give me the same result which is in having my phone staying in the boot screen that says galaxy s7 for 10 minutes and after that It will go onto the SAMSUNG boot screen and stay there

forever

. I am unable to do anything at that point so everytime I had to use odin to install the AP, CP and CSC files over again and do the whole rooting process...

I've looked for xposed framework alternatives but there just isn't anything like it. I would greatly appreciate any help by this point, I can't think of anything else to do!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] DMon04:
Are you on Nougat 7.0? If so...there is no official xposed for 7.0 yet.

---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------

I had the same problem on my Verizon S7E(G935V). That script was made for MM and L,not 7.0 Nougat. If you're running 7.0 it doesn't do anything from what I've heard. Anyways....to get rid of the imsservice has stopped message on my S7E running 7.0 I used root uninstaller from android market and simply uninstalled all the IMS crap and that fixed it for me. It stopped popping up after that.? Hope this works for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] TegraStorm:
No, I am using Marshmallow 6.0.1

I read other people talking about it not working in Nougat but that it does work on marshmallow, so i don't understand why it doesn't work for me

if anyone has questions on what appears on x screen if i try something etc. to troubleshoot don't doubt in asking, I really need to get this fixed.

AFTER QUADRILLION HOURS I FINALLY GOT TO INSTALL IT! :D what worked was installing the xposed .zip file but it HAS to be version v85.1 . I tried various others and they didn't work at all they just softbricked my phone. I have no idea why it wouldn't work with v87 :eek: but oh well, I finally got it down :)

I even thought about doing a downgrade and trying to install xposed on lollipop. Lol.

I'm thinking of returning to stock, since USC now has nougat available. The issue is the link in the OP to the stock USC S7 Edge is a dead link. Can I just download the nougat stock firmware from SamMobile and use it, or do I need to install the current version already running on the phone (PL1)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] AJMetal87:
Lost Stock Recovery

Alright. I'm gonna preface this with the fact that I did not backup stock recovery when I decided to continue my stupidity without properly researching the fact that TWRP's app with .tars does not apply to G930v and everything I've done has been ignorant and against all I knew about this stuff in the past.

I had been running the Samsung_G930x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR since it was out and the reason I had done the following was to get nougat. I failed miserably.

I was unable to flash nougat from stock recovery because "external access to sd is disabled" (or something along those lines) I decided to be stupider and when I downloaded twrp in hopes the custom recovery would resolve this issue, I did not backup current recovery.

Right now I am sitting on Samsung_G930x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR and broken recovery. When I attempt to access recovery from power off state, It shows recovery booting, that flashes and vibrates twice and boots normally.

I have hours into research to resolve this to no avail.

I flash the return to unroot/return to stock files via odin and it brings me to the same point I was at prior to the flash. No setup wizard, and no stock recovery.

Any thoughts?

EDIT: I tried doing it about 10 times and odin finally pushed the the files for stock. I am good now. Sorry for clogging the thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] barndawg76:
So I got the file downloaded, it just wouldn't work earlier. I did everything as instructed in Odin to return to stock, yes all 4 files, but it fails every time. WTF am I doing wrong???

Has anyone tried the new 2.5.0.5 build of Viper Audio? I was messing around yesterday trying to uninstall the old version and install the new version and at some point my phone started exhibiting crippling lag and unresponsiveness that last through reboots. I ended up having to flash to stock and start over on everything.

Anyway I'm not sure if it was something random or I some how screwed up along the way and would like to try again. Curious to know first if anyone else has had luck.

Are you using the STOCK Odin? Not the PrinceComely one? Do you have the correct STOCK version of your phone, and what is the G935R4? I am not familiar with that one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] barndawg76:
I'm using Prince comsy, which I used when rooting. This is the US Cellular version S7 Edge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] freeop:
Don't use that one. Use the Odin Stock version. You will continue to get errors using that one. Once you get it installed run it again with the stock images, all four, and it should work just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] barndawg76:
Thanks! I will try again soon and report back!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] nyr2k2:
I have always used Prince Comsy and have never had an issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] freeop:
I posted what I had experienced going back to Stock. I tried 2 different versions of PrinceComsy and both times it gave me errors and would not return my phone to Stock. Then I used the Stock Version of Odin and returned to stock with no issues at all. I guess it was just the luck of the draw for me :)

Hola...

So I've got some funky stuff going on with my phone after following these instructions. First, I rooted my phone (GS7 Edge, Verizon) a while back. It ran terrible ever since so I figured I'd fool around with it (prior to reading this thread) and something weird happened. After restarting, I received the looping issue. This was a piece of cake to fix, I just flashed with this "Samsung_G935x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR".

The issue I'm having now is that My phone is no longer rooted, at least that's what a few root check apps have to say. I can't get into things like Titanium Backup or Rootcloak but, I can still use my wireless (Grandfathered unlimited plan).

I'd really like to re-root my phone but I'm at wits end.

The OTA to Nugget doesn't work, I assume because it thinks I'm still rooted.

Phone details:

Android version: 6.0.1

Security Patch Level: Sept 1, 2016

Kernel Version: 3.18.20-end

dpi@SWHD7309 #1

Fri Apr 22 16:24:20 KST 2016

Build No: MMB29M,G935VVRS4APH1

Not sure if anything else is needed or what to check to get root back.

I've run both root.bat files and they both appear to run to the end with no errors.

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] RBEmerson:
I've tried 2.5.0.5, too, and can't get the driver going. I added SELinuxToggle, which worked once and then says it can't get su at boot. I set SuperSU to run during boot. That didn't fix the problem.

SuperSU keeps saying the binary needs to be updated. My guess is this keeps SELinuxToggle from running as su at boot. IIRC, OP said updating SuperSU will break root. Is that still true?

SMG930U (US) - unlocked & unbranded - MM 6.0.1 - rooted around 10 Apr with fresh dl's
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] freeop:
No. You can update the supersu and not worry about losing root. I even purchased the pro version and everything works just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] RBEmerson:
I'll report back on what happens. BTW I have Pro, too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] RBEmerson:
I did the update and it scared me. Initially Root Checker said "not rooted" and it looked as though I was in some sort of bootloop, seeing "app-x got root" repeated through a number of "need su" apps. I rebooted and I still have root. SELinuxToggle works without complaint and I can launch V4A with a working driver. I don't hear any effects, but I think that goes back to PlayerPro. I froze the DSP but I think I need to do more than that. Ah well, that's for another thread.

Thanks for the advice and encouragement!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
No problem!

That's really good to know, thanks for the info.

I'll be releasing a V10 soon for generic that removes the safeguard. Right now there's an assert safeguard in the update that looks for a firmware version and aborts if it doesn't match the right one. Since we're not adjusting the framework-res.apk file in the generic patch, there's no need to be so restrictive. Give me a bit to get V10 ready and you'll be up and running soon.

Yep, I unrooted, reset everything, and tried it myself during a 3-hour heavy QC session last night.

Almost all of the searching-for-service, no/poor service quality, can't text/call/MMS, etc. cellular issues are resolve by pushing a new imsservice.apk to your phone. Read the 'recommended next steps' and apply the patch as appropriate (there's a list of changes, which includes a description of the problem you're having).

There's quite a few other changes going on with the script. I listed a full list of what gets changed. That said, I am going to put a V10 out in a moment that removes the restriction that you have to be on the PE1 build (unnecessary now).

It's working here -- I would check to see if (a) Windows detects the device at all and (b) if ADB recognizes the device (adb devices).

Open the phone dialer and tap MORE -> Settings -> Wi-Fi Calling (all the way at the bottom of phone's settings).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ajthemacboy:
I flashed the fix/debloat .zip and it didn't fix the issues. At the time however I wasn't running the RU2APE1 build so I had to use the generic fixes. Now that I've restored my device to RU2APE1, do you think the non-generic .zip might fix my issues?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Depends on which version you patched -- I assume generic/universal V9. The Version V8 or universal V10 will likely do the exact same thing for you, but I have a lot of faith in the PE1 build for the Verizon phone so I would try again now that you're on the same build as I.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
It voids your warranty, but because you can flash back to stock at any time you want, there's really no way they can know. All the same, rooting is always disclaimed with the "do it at your own risk" kind of attitude.

None at all. I'm just moving away from overwriting build.prop and others.xml and patching them with boot-time scripts instead.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ajthemacboy:
Just re-rooted and LTE appears to be working fine :)

However with the latest script (v10) changing things in settings like notification sounds results in a prompt to choose a file manager app. (Maybe it uninstalls something that was accidentally marked as bloatware but is really needed?)

Also, the setting menu below Display and wallpaper is now blank with only an orange circle for an icon. Settings crashes when opening it. Same for the item below Backup and reset.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Good to hear. :)

You may have froze 'My Files' -- none of the patches I've put out does so.

That's my probably fault, although I could have sworn I removed that stuff... hmmm. It's not harmful (they're hidden options that I unhid, but that aren't actually available on our TWZ ROM) but certainly annoying. I'll have to test and put out a follow-up.
