For sure. I've attached some screens shots.

I have not called Sprint simply for the reason that I've had them deny me help before when my device was on a custom ROM. Honestly I don't blame them either. Their reasoning of course being that they're not going to spend time to troubleshoot a device running unknown/modified code because of so many variables. Other than telling them the truth "hey I rooted my phone and now MMS isn't working" what would I ask them to do and what would the reasoning be? I guess it's worth a shot. Should I just tell them my messaging isn't working and see if they can push something over the air?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Exactly.....just tell them the messaging stopped working and see what they say. Give them just enough info to keep them investigating the problem.

Hey everyone, I am just coming across this thread and was wondering, is this stable enough to use as a daily driver now? I saw some warnings on page 1 of the thread, and also something about a wifi problem, has that all been ironed out by this point? Just follow the steps and go? I'm no stranger to rooting phones but stopped following it on the S7 because it felt like it was never going to happen. Pretty excited now though! Thanks :)

No it doesn't. You have to edit a file in the efs folder which requires root access
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Thanks for that info.......I thought I had entered into that menu structure early on in my s7 ownership, but evidently, I guess not??? I don't believe I ever edited any file in the efs folder either!?! So I definetly must not have entered into that menu system. Oh well, Learn something new every day......

Yes, this all works pretty well. Make sure you use the proper engboot kernel file for your phone and then root.bat is all straight forward. Once rooted get flashfire from playstore and follow op on flashing the v15 fix for 'any samsung galaxy s7' ......don't flash carrier specific fix file because they are outdated.....Unfortunately the op has not been updated since stable methods were posted, much thanks to [MENTION=1599591]psouza4[/MENTION] and others for all the hard work though and plenty of good help now available from us and others, we're all here to help. Next thing to note is don't DO NOT flash any debloat file from the op.....outdated and will hose your pbone. Xposed at your own risk and if you are going to load a custom rom like stang5litre or Echoe then you may not need since most of the good stuff is included. Results vary depending on carrier. Sprint seems to be the most problematic. See this thread http://xdaforums.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/how-to-flash-echoerom-sprint-t3472433/post68944055 if sprint.......it's for Echoe but has good info and links to help sprint users if have problems.

PS- if you have to return to stock find same or newer firmware reversion that you previously had on your phone......don't use firmware from the op....it's outdated. Also.....use stock odin 3.12 or 3

12.3 to return to stock, not Princecomsy odin......Princecomsy odin is for engboot kernel only.

hello! Trying to get this going for my verizon S7. Running into a slight issue in cmd prompt. ADB seems to not want to work. I went to the FAQ as suggested and made a new profile as suggested. It seems to be taking a part of my email address used as the user name (windows 10 pc) beforehand it was just my first name. The FAQ suggested that the issue is because there is a space in the username so I made a new account this time, it took my first name plus the letter j at the end of it (took the first few letters of my fake email used to create a new account and still same issue after creating a new account. Should I find a different version of windows to do this on? (my old laptop runs windows 8 I believe). Any help or tips would be appreciated!

Does the root procedure given in the OP work well now? I am buying a refurbed G935U from BestBuy, and wonder whether I should follow it.

What I want is: Root, debloat, xposed.

Please advise, TIA!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
The basic root method works fine but the debloat is outdated so do not use directly. The v15 fix works only for 'any samsung galaxy s7' do not use carrier specific versions. Xposed has varying degrees of success depending on carrier and method used. Here are some threads with more specific and probably better answers to your questions depending on carrier.

Please Note: these links are just starting points and there are probably still more and better information available on xda if you search.

Fix the lag and resettting of wifi on reboot

The ENGBOOT bootloader sets a couple of settings that cause extreme lag.

You can fix them by doing the following:

.1 Install Busybox using the Busybox app from the Play Store into /system/xbin - you have to specify this install location manually or the install will fail.

.2 Download a CPU manager such as Kernel Manager or TricksterMod from the Play Store and set the CPU governor to "interactive" and set the app to set the governor on every boot -- this will fix the lag.

.3 Get the Build Prop Editor app from the Play Store and set “ro.securestorage.support” to “false” -- this will prevent your wifi settings from resetting on reboot.

You're pressing all three buttons pwr, volume down, and home to get to download mode. Try another usb to get computer to see phone sometimes or even reboot computer might help. Also, make sure your usb settings are mtp or ptp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] majikfox:
I normally think that using a different cable is voodoo, but the Galaxy S7 actually has a crappy USB interface and which cable you use matters.

I had to try 3 different cables to get a steady connection for file transfers -- all cables that work just fine on every other phone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
You're sure you are using the correct engboot kernel file for your phone. .....930 v 935. Or else maybe wrong odin. Most use princecomsy for the engboot kernel and then if you ever need to return to stock use stock odin 3.12 or 3.12.3, it does take a few minutes if I remember correctly.....haven't done it in a while.

---------- Post added at 12:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 AM ----------

Sounds like you may have flashed wrong v15fix file. None of the carrier specific fixes work and definetly don't debloat. Those files are all outdated for the newer firmwares. Use only the v15 for 'any samsung galaxy s7'. If you are a sprint user you may have other problems that are fixable but require a few more steps and a lot more reading. Check this thread for additional help http://xdaforums.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/how-to-flash-echoerom-sprint-t3472433/post68944055 it's for Echoe but it solves the problems you may be having. If your not sprint then you still may need to change apn settings that get explained in that thread too.......but probably wrong v15 file was flashfired.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Rjevon:
Thanks for the reply. I flashed s7/s7 edge v15 fix since I that's what have. Checked apn after root and things looked fine.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
AT&T is a pretty straight forward process and it sounds like you did flash the correct v15 fix file if it was the one for 'any samsung galaxy s7', which you indicated it was. Next move would be to wipe cache from phones recovery. Other than that what firmware version were you originally on before root? The engboot kernel and root.bat are straight forward as well, the only thing to maybe do just to see where things started going haywire would be to test all functionality after root.bat and see if everything works before the v15 fix flash......you'll need to return to full stock and root over again but you'll be able to test functionality before flashing v15 fix.

NOTE: if you return to stock then you need to download same or newer firmware that was originally on the phone and use stock odin 3.12 or 3.12.3 to do it.

This will get you to where you need to be to download at&t stock firmware http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy...t-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039/post70333801

Using princecomsy's Odin v3.12 using the latest ADB using the g930x root boot. I am following the guide where I go in turn off then turn on the settings just to make sure switch the directory in cmd prompt to where I have my adb.exe but when I typed in adb devices it only shows my blue stack emulator. and probably why it hangs when trying to flash with odin. I have usb config set to MTP as someone suggested though it keeps going back to charging (probably when the phone get's plugged in). oem unlocked is turned on, secure startup is set to do not require (there is no off just require pin or do not require pin), as far as what version of ADB it is, I am not sure. It was provided to me here earlier in the thread by someone. I checked to see if there was any updates to the eng root and it seems this is still the currently running version according to the thanks link provided. Updated the SU to be 2.79 sr3.

my build is the API3 if that matters though it seems like this method here should work regardless. Kind of stumped as things don't really seem to be matching up so well currently. I may have to try a different PC but I feel the real issue is this whole ADB 32 vs ADB 36.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
What was your problem again? Sorry but now I'm confused. Anyway, what's blue stack thing? Get rid of it. SU needs to be the one provided in OP, no update. Use adb provided in the op unless you have experience with the one using. Use samsung drivers provided in the op unless you have experience with ones using. Phone stick in charging mode.....change settings/usb configurations and set to mtp or ptp. Phone not seen by computer......try a different usb port or cable or both or reboot computer. Make sure samsung drivers installed proper.

When I run the adb-setup-1.4.3.exe where does it install ADB to? The original issue was that I kept getting the 'adb' is not recognized error. however the only method in the FAQ suggests that my pathname has a space which it does not. it's C:\users\Greg that's it.

Sorry for delay, the adb, if I'm remembering correctly, is basically an executable zip so you should be able to extract to the folder where the root.bat and supersu is located. In other words you can put everything in one folder including odin for that matter, and the boot.tar, supersu, and the rest of the files for this project. Just run odin with the boot.tar in ap, then make sure usb debugging is turned on in developer options in phone settings and run root.bat. You could have the adb files in the same folder when you run root.bat, or you could run adb from a command prompt and then run root.bat from there, or install adb in system path and run root.bat that way....... It should work either of those ways.

No reason not to update. Plus you can have all your apps fully updated, plus all security updates, etc.... As for the fix scripts, you'll only be able to safely flash the version for 'any samsung galaxy s7' after you update but not a big deal......plus no debloat, but if you load a custom rom like stang5litre or Echoe then those are pretty much debloated and optimized. By the way what carrier you on and why not ever update?

Yeah ......it's really not all that bad. Im at&t, still on ph1 and probably going to go stock soon and update to latest firmware so I can get latest security and all my apps updated safely. I thought I was a holdout but you rewrote the book on the subject.

As long as you flashfire v15 fix for 'any samsung galaxy s7' and not carrier specific and no debloat you should be fine with that and then custom rom of choice or just leave stock and rock with that.

If I was on pb5 I'd stay on it for the same reason you have all this time. Slim chance, but hey it happened with the s4 on mdk so it could happen again right? Lol...

I'm not 100% certain on this, but since you're on pb5 you should be able to odin whatever fw version you wanted, just leave out the bl file. That way you can still roll back if such a miracle was to happen.

---------- Post added at 02:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 AM ----------

1 more thing. If you're looking for stability, I'd recommend Stang5litre's custom rom after you root especially because you're on Verizon. It's based on pe1 fw, but he does include the latest Android security patches in his releases. You can also flash it without updating your bootloader and you'll still have the option to roll back to pb5 if you ever wanted.
