Does the update fix the 1080p/1440p/60fps YouTube bug?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] orgulloso4202:
I'm sorry, but I have no issues with You Tube. Are you using the YouTube app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] chaos_jockey:
Yep. I'm not the only one with the issue either. Some people say it's the snapdragon causing the issue buuuut I can play 1080p60fps or higher on my Note Edge in the YouTube app no problem but NOT on my s7 edge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Argyrus:
I have found out that the newest Youtube APP updates seem to have broken it on all phones.

After watching a video for a certain amount of time will cause the video to freeze while audio still playing.

I'm not sure exactly why, but watching youtube from the browser seems to work fine and supposedly uninstalling certain updates to Youtube.

I have also found that setting the video quality lower seems to fix the freezing, my guess is that the app broke the high-quality buffer when it comes to buffering the quality of a video.

There have been already been quite a few rants about this already made to Google.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] orgulloso4202:
If you have LSPEED app set up, under Lnet section try increasing buffer maybe it should help. I have it on the highest maybe this is why I don't experience any issues?

Anyone know how to work around the "Installation failed" when trying to update the SuperSU Binary? Really getting annoying. I can't do anything root related til the binary is updated, and can't get it to update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Argyrus:
Don't update the Binary.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] TCPDump:
That's not an option... Without updating you can't use root. Anyhow, I fixed it already. I dropped in the newest SuperSU apk and su Binary with the CLI. Good to go now.

It just takes time. Hopefully we can get TWRP running then get some AOSP roms running once samsung and Verizon forget about us. Get some nougat running on this phone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] deeman88:
So, I successfully installed root and was able to grant root access to apps via SuperSU but I could not text message. I factory reset and the root was still intact (both the Samsung loading screen showed unlocked and root checker verified) and I got my texting to work. Now I can't seem to launch any apps that require root permission because SuperSU isn't prompting me to authorize them. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem. I've re-done all the flashing etc to no avail. SuperSU is installed and one Root Check app says yes but everything else says no.

I've followed every step to get my s7 Edge rooted. However, after a few days of using my phone with rooted access, my phone fall into boot loops on restarted (I restarted the phone before and it was fine). And while the phone in boot loop, it got really hot.

I've experienced it twice, as it happened the first time, I simply wipe my phone completely on recovery mode, and it just happened again now. What should I do? Do I have to re-wipe it again? Any help is appreciated.

How are you finding root? Did you employ the 'fixes for lag/battery drain'? If you did, are you happy with the phone, would you recommend rooting or sticking with the sm g935U unrooted. Any thoughts on the subject appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] lahegry:
I used root method and fixes from this thread with no issues. Personally it feels a little faster and more snappy even with having to use the eng kernel. Would I recommend using this over u? As long as you have titanium backup to freeze/delete all the Verizon bloat, it works great, I'm at 59% and have been off the charger since this morning. But your mileage may vary.[emoji2]

I just rooted my S7 Edge (SM-G935V) using the method outlined in this thread and everything worked fine. However, after a few minutes, my computer stopped recognizing the phone, which I thought was weird. I tried to reboot the phone, but it eventually went to a black screen with the blue LED lit and wouldn't power off completely. I forced the phone into recovery mode and factory reset it/wiped the partition cache, but when rebooting afterward, it shows the Samsung logo with the custom icon and then goes to the same black screen with blue LED. Am I bricked?

Even if you didnt update to the newest firmware,couldnt you still download next radio and still have fm radio??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] lahegry:
Nope, need to be on the latest firmware due to system settings changes that allow fm to be activated.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] alaindesjardins:
I've rooted and installed all the fixes and wiped and started all over again at least three times now and every time, eventually... stuff starts to lag so bad and my battery drains so fast I can't go through an entire day using my phone.

I tried the stang5litre, seems to work well but it got me wondering... is there no hope for a ROM that is stock with root, minus all the bloat, plus all the fixes and can last the whole day? I would love for a slim rom that is minimalistic. Would be awesome to flash the engboot, install flashfire and go straight to that slim stock ROM without having to mess with all the fixes etc. Just having a terrible time so far with this phone. I don't quite understand why getting root caused all these problems to begin with unless the engboot is what is causing problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] orgulloso4202:
just updated to the new pg5 and now I have fm radio working. I rooted and applied all the fixes. So far it working good. Will keep you updated. No lag what so ever
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] TheWu-Wei:
The changelog from VZW noted that FM is enabled with PG5, doesn't depend on root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] orgulloso4202:
I know this. I was just sharing. That I upgraded to pg5 stock and was able to root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] TheWu-Wei:
Gotcha. Good info to have. I figured we could still root PG5, but I was also surprised to see VZW enable FM so I wanted to mention it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] amorrn:
Just to clarify, you ran the V15.zip fixes or did them manually?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] orgulloso4202:
Ran with flashfire.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] amorrn:
Thanks, that was helpful as I've been considering rooting since I bought the phone a few days ago. Went ahead with it on PG5 and so far so good! Followed the guide for L Speed (your settings), govtuner, and Force Doze and I'm happy with the results as of now (a few hours). We'll see how the battery life is over a full day of normal usage, but I'm hopeful. Will play around with the govtuner profile (currently on balanced) in case of any unexpected results. Gonna install xposed tomorrow to complete the rooted experience. No issues with heat or lag as of yet (aside from slight lag on initial boot before L Speed and Kernel Auditor settings apply). I'm only missing TWRP (and its nandroid backups) from my bootloader unlocked Note 3, but maybe that will come in due time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] deV14nt:
Yes....Yes it is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] orgulloso4202:
Did you also apply the v15 fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] amorrn:
Yes, I have flashed it using FlashFire.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] orgulloso4202:
Set all animation to 0.5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] amorrn:
Did that as well. It's running really smoothly, haven't noticed any lag aside from initial boot (at the lock screen entering my pin). After L Speed and Kernel Auditor kick in its awesome. With nova launcher set up now I have almost no complaints about this phone.

Battery drain isn't too much worse than stock with the fixes in place so far today. No heat issues either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] orgulloso4202:
My settings from LSPEED is more for performance than battery. If you mess around you can get better battery but sometimes it's a trade off.

I followed these steps but I'm stuck on step 11. After i execute root.bat from cmd it sits there at "daemon started successfully". Nothing else happens.

I was able to get it working. I noticed if I ran "adb devices" that nothing was showing. I tried a different usb port on my laptop but still nothing. I then switched to a usb port on my surface dock and ran adb devices again and it saw it this time. Then root.bat ran fine.

Reverse This?

I'm super new to rooting, so if something went wrong or I decided to remove it, would I be able to restore ALL factory defaults? And how would I go about doing that? Also, if I rooted then uprooted, would Samsung Pay be available again? I have an AT&T Snapdragon S7 edge if that matters.

Question, after flashing the eng kernel, is there a way to enable usb debugging without going into phone settings?

Here ismy dilemma:

I purchased a S7E on Offerup that is Google locked for 150$... However, it is on PH1 so I cannot downgrade and known FRP bypass methods are patched on PH1...

I can use the realterm method to get into the browser, sign in to Samsung account and download es file explorer and quickshortcut maker. All frp bypass apks force close when you try to run them.

I can get into settings via quickshortcut maker but it does not allow me to enable developer mode/usb debugging...

Heres what I want to try:

1) Odin the eng boot

2) Somehow enable usb debugging

3) Push root files via ADB

4) Open ES File Explorer (or other root explorer) with root access, disable google somehow (maybe remove the setup wizard...) or install Flashfire or figure something out once root is achieved?)

Any help with this endeavor would be appreciated.. I am trying to avoid paying someone with the hardware to bypass the frp as it cuts into my resell profit lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] xCHAOSNCx:
I'm not being funny real business.. I thought if USB debugging wasn't enabled Odin wouldn't recognize the device to flash the eng kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] elliwigy:
u can flash the eng kernel regardless since it is a signed odin tar.. however you do typically need to adb by turning it on in the developer settings.. then again i am not sure why the eng kernel wouldnt have usb debugging on by default since it is an eng kernel?

of course if you want to flash unsigned tars you need to oem unlock (unlock the BL) the device..

essentially i just wonder if root is possible without going into the phone to enable dev options/usb debugging.. if it can, i can probably get ff to install using a root explorer and then flash echo or similar rom and then be able to bypass frp as itll have an older firmware/security patch?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] elliwigy:
disregard my earlier posts lol.. i was able to bypass frp with help by furst installing google account manager and then the frp bypass apk worked 0 issues
