What is the fix for not being able to send text messages? Any help is appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] srish2:
Hi [MENTION=6966762]mopacfan[/MENTION], I had the same issue with nothing seeming to happen with ODIN. Here's what I did: Click on AP and select the AP file from the extracted firmware, flash the AP, reboot & get back into Download mode, flash the BL file, reboot & get back into Download mode, flash the CP file, reboot & get back into Download mode, then flash either a) the HOME_CSC file to not wipe the /data partition or b) the CSC file to wipe. (thanks to [MENTION=1586120]henklbr[/MENTION] for the info in his thread)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Just clear your cache from revovery.......pwr button home button and volume up button all same time. It should work after that. Just give it time to reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] roswelljeeper:
Thank you Sir, worked like a charm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] foolboyk:
Just got gal s7 verizon SAMSUNG-SM-G930V can anybody point me in the right direction of backing up before I attempt this I'm Hella nervous of messing up my fone thanks a bunch
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
If it's a brand new phone what do you need to backup.

See if your firmware version or compatible is available for download. If it is then you can always Oden it back on if needed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] foolboyk:
Okay sorry one more quick question I find out my firmware version through settings on my fone or is it through sdk? And how to tell if compatible.lol sorry just trying to learn without screwing up my fone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
No worries......although I'm no expert and still learning myself and definetly started out exactly where you are....I think I can help.

Your firmware will be in settings/system/about device and look under build number.

Once you find that, look here on xda and look for same version that is for Oden or recovery.

Either way it's hard to break something if you follow instructs and start factory fresh nothing password or frozen or disabled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] foolboyk:
Very true okay now how about" oem unlock" in developing settings? Should I turn that on or leave it off as it is?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Off. I don't know what that setting is or does. Back when i rooted I saw and asked about it too and I left it off.

Also make sure you didn't encrypt sd card or have anything disabled or frozen or passworded which you shouldn't if it's a brand new factory fresh phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] foolboyk:
OK I'll just factory reset it before I start and also they have my firmware on samsung-firmware.org that's what I need in case I screw up correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Sorry for the hijack....I'll move or delete this if you want.

I was primarily having problem with my titanium backup and utorrent not being able to set ext sd card in preferences.

For TB-

highaltitude explained how to set backup folder.

Open Titanium Backup, Menu, Preferences, Backup Folder Location, Storage provider and then hit DocumentProvider Storage and select your SD card.

For utorrent-

Find the com.utorrent.client folder under the ext sd Android/data or create if not there and you can set that as download folder or create subfolders under that. That way, during torrent download you can choose that folder as your download location.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] foolboyk:
Uh okay ??:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Yeah that looks correct. Is that a pay site? If so, you maybe can find on here for free. Either way you should be okay.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] foolboyk:
Um no its a free site I'm downloading now thanks for all up help

My vpn app no longer works after installing the debloater. Any one have any suggestions
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Try resetting it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] FutureDad:
Curious as to how I can do this and will it work for other apps, such as Pokemon Go?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Rapt0rRed:
Ok, I know this has been mentioned on here before, but I need to know EXACTLY what is causing the 7 day sfotbrick. I'm on an ATT G935A and this is now my third bootloop. I skimmed the thread to find out what I need to freeze, but am having trouble finding it. At the moment, the only process I have frozen is the SecurityLog Agent.

If someone could explain what process is causing this (and why?), it give me a much better understanding of what's happening under the hood.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] passion4tech:
Hi does the fixes zip do the same thing as debloated zip? The fixes zip shouldn't remove google apps right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] LeftyGR:
The only difference is the debloat debloats.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] passion4tech:
What I meant to ask was, does the fixes only zip remove google apps like gmail? Why gmail was removed is beyond me? If that is the case I am not flashing this zip. I understand removing samsung bloatware but google apps like gmail why?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] amorrn:
No, the fixes only version doesn't remove any apps. Removing gmail is to free up space in the system, as it works perfectly well as a user app (from play store) and doesn't need to be a system app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] foolboyk:
hey worked great for me thanks to all who helped sorry im late getting bak to yall just paid to get fone back on
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Are you saying; you flashed the fixes only zip and it removed your gmail?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] MrWhite0429:
Unfreeze the SecurityLog Agent.

Freeze the SecurityPolicyUpdater

For some reason the Policy updater runs security checks upon boot Every so often. if the security policies fail. IE When we root the phone for example, the updater for some reason tries to correct the issue and it conflicts with the boot script.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] amorrn:
No just explaining why someone would want to do that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
I freeze Securitylogagent Agent and AT&T Software Update in TB and I turn off the Security Policy Updates in Settings/Lock screen and security/Other security settings/Security policy updates.

May be simpler doing it all in one place though??

Several weeks in and many many reboots and still no problems yet. Fingers always crossed though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] passion4tech:
No the fixes+debloat removed gmail.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] KillerClaw321:

Rooted my S7E to continue using PS4 Remote Play but I can't flash the Sony Framework.

I receive the error "dm-verify verification failure" any time I try to flash in Custom Recovery.

Is this normal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Rapt0rRed:
This is exactly what I needed to see. Thank you.

Can I refreeze the SecurityLog Agent afterwards?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] pursuitforce:
I had a problem with rooting,but obviously u had to do it on a clean slate :D

Can someone tell me for PG5 Verizon fw from 1st august 2016, which fix should i use ? I used the V15 for non-verizon smartphones,but when my phone is connected to the pc,i cant change the setting from charging.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] roswelljeeper:
Install flashfire and flash the fixes zip in the OPS post.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] KillerClaw321:
How do you uninstall the xposed framework?!?! Do you just uninstall framework from the xposed installer app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] pursuitforce:
I flashed the V15 fix for non-verizon,bcs i am not on pe1,but on pg5. But i cant change the setting from charging to file transfer and I get all the time a security notice about unauthorized access and that it wants to restart the phone to fix it .. I installed xposed,too,and the other battery saving apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
The security notice is you need to freeze or disable Securitylogagent. The fix+debloat would have done that....I think.......but either way that will fix it.

Settings/Developer options/usb configurations is where you set the usb. Are you saying it's not there or won't let you change it or what?

---------- Post added at 04:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 AM ----------

I would.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] mcholly7:
Ok, so the people over on the supersu page were super useless and said to ask here, but I was wondering if the latest binary update for SuperSU was compatible with the s7 edge root found here, or if we were still stuck with the knockoff ones provided? I'm not complaining about any of it. I was just hoping to actually get an answer instead of being shooed off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
A few days back someone said they successfully updated but it was 2.78 I think and now I think it is higher so unsure if still works. Test yourself. Most updates are available to Odin back should something happen. Good luck.

Which Firmware Should i have so i can root my phone ?

I'm now on G930PVPS2APG1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Follow the OP instructions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Boogeryouans:
I'm am on PE1 and still lose data when making a call. I have read the forum pretty thoroughly and can't find what I have wrong. When I turn on hd calling it tells me to reboot and it will be ready. After reboot nothing has changed. Did anyone know what my issue is? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Orochidragon005:
I tried to flash xposed to my tmobile variant GS7, and now, when i land at the setup screen, after going through the steps, setting up wifi and whatnot, it either pops a message at the bottom of the screen that a billing system for google play couldn't be setup, or it doesn't, and then proceeds to stay at the checking connection screen for what feels like forever, (the most i've waited before restarting is approx 45 min.) I go into recovery boot, wipe the system cache, and reboot.

So, my question is if I should just wait longer, factory reset, or reflash a stock rom for my device and go through the root process again? And if I factory reset, will i still be rooted?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] EweFewl:
Thank you

Thank you very much!

This *actually* got me a rooted phone, I really thought I was screwed with an OS I couldn't fix (overheating, and delays, etc. ).

This was perfect!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] haps16:
So I just bought my s7 today and it came loaded with pg5. Am I good to root with this guide?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] spearoid:
So somehow I just learned root was achieved for this phone! And I've taken several OTAs since July. Ugh

I am on PH1.....Is it possible to go back to PE1 following the unroot procedures? It seems like that is the firmware to have with all the post-root zip files available....or am I just out of luck in that regard?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] haps16:
Scratch my last post... I am rooted now. Worked perfectly... Thanks so much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] haps16:
Is it safe to update the super su binary yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
PH1 is rootable. Go ahead and everything should work fine. I'm on at&t g930a ph1 update and rooted and v15 fixed easy no problems. I did not debloat or xposed but I've read others have. Just read and learn.

There is also a ph1 odin firmware available here on xda. Search.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] spearoid:
My post was a specific question about downgrading to PE1. I have already rooted PH1 and I already have the PH1 firmware. Your reply answers questions I never asked and I do not need to search for. I will volley your advice to read back to you. ;)

I've searched this question and found nothing definitive. My guess is it can't be done... But I was wondering if anyone can officially rule out the possibility of downgrading.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
My apology.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] TheWu-Wei:
From what I've read, PH1 locks things up and doesn't allow us to roll back to earlier versions. Though it can be rooted. I haven't tried any of this myself, as I'm using jrkruse's PlayStore version which is based on PE1. I'm just sharing the info I've read in other threads.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] spearoid:
Hmm, thanks for that.... And this response justifies my initial "UGH" :)

I had long given up on ever getting root on this phone, so I willingly took every OTA as I was prompted... Thinking there was no reason not to.

So now my primary objective is to see if there's a way to hack the Verizon provisioning of hotspot app.... That's one of my primary motivations for rooting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] TheWu-Wei:
Hotspot provisioning is not a major concern for me, so I haven't paid very close attention to it. With that said, I'm fairly certain it was worked out for the PE ROMs and that folks were still working on getting it sorted for later ones. I don't know the status of those efforts.

I'm just a ray of sunshine for you today, with all this bad news. My apologies. Like I said, I'm just sharing what I've read in other threads. I try to keep up where I can, but there's a lot to track. Hopefully my information is outdated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] spearoid:
Yeah... I haven't even been on XDA in a few months..... So coming in to this 190+ page thread was a bit daunting ;)

Was stoked to see the great Pete contributing to my phone.... After continuing to reap the benefits of his MCM project.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] spearoid:
Just to follow up on my own question :)

Native Hotspot works fine with the Xposed module XtouchWiz......and as a user pointed out in this thread, I had to flash the v15 fix after installing Xposed to get texting working again.

Been running this root on my device for just about a month, but last night I restarted the phone and I could no longer access the SD card. Notification center showed message that "SD card is encrypting," but it never finished. Tried decrypting and it showed the same message. No option to format card or mount/unmount. Forced to restore the phone and format the card since I couldn't open any of the still encrypted files. You can only imagine how much data I lost from having to erase. What might be causing this?

If you're totally back to stock, I'd take it to your service provider (Sprint, ATT...). It will befuddle them and they will possibly set you up with a replacement.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
I've rooted and flashed the -v15 fix on g930a with ph1, so you should be fine. The ph1 odin firmware is available on xda so you have safety net. As far as xposed goes I've read it's OK but you need to make sure you get the correct framework and apps.

Also freeze and or disable the correct settings for update protection.

There's a pi2 out now and I have no info on the viability of root on that update. Be nice to know?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] snovvman:
Seeing something strange with Flashfire (v53) with S7E ATT PG1. After I flash a package with FlashFire, the phone works fine except for a strange bootloop behavior. Whether it is a starup from "off" or reboot, the phone would bootloop twice before starting normally. The phone would first show the "Samsung Galaxy" screen, then the animated Samsung logo, then briefly the ATT splash, then back to the initial Samsung Galaxy screen. It does this twice, then starts normally.

Once I factory reset, the problem goes away. When I use FF again, the problem returns. It almost seems like FF is leaving some script that is causing the soft bootloop.

I also have a S7, same setup, same config, no such problem.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] SooHooStuff:
Hi. This situation has happened to me twice now.

I have rooted my phone, and it has been working perfectly and fine. I wake up, and start using my phone. Suddenly i start seeing these messages that apps are crashing. I think, a restart will fix that. But when I go to restart my phone, it goes into a boot loop and starts making these clicking sounds. A factory reset and a recovery through odin has worked, but I would like to avoid this from happening again. All help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

(I have a AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7)

Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Unsure exactly what your situation might be but for starters.....after the root and -v15fix only other thing to do is install TB pro (paid) and freeze the securitylogagent, security policy updates, and AT&T Software Update.....also turn off in Settings/Lock screen and security/Other security settings/security policy updates and also go to your playstore and stop all updates. That's it.

I have g930a at&t with ph1 update, engboot and root from Princecomsy and -v15 fix from psouza4 . Phone runs like a top. Smooth as silk.

Echoe rom v1.41 plus fix zip.

No xposed but don't feel the need.

I see a PI2 update from at&t for g930a that I won't move too until I find out about root compatibility.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] nickitp:
OK sooooooo....

I wanted to say thank you first and foremost i've been around (more or less) since the HD and man was that phone ****ty without the help of all those it made it amazing. Anyway I digress, I have a US S7 on Verizon that I rooted to remove all the bloat and gain some control but damn without the bootloader I guess things are harder than I thought. I can root on older software and it seems ok but I can't upgrade the software without jacking up the root not to mention the annoying alerts. If I root on the latest software it is laggy, buggy and sucks up twice the battery. I am at a loss here as to what to do and after days of searching I am asking you now: Is it best to go back to the bloated original software? Can I "unroot" since I removed what I needed without losing or resetting data? Should I jump off a bridge holding a sign blaming it on my locked bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Pseudomimic:
I had the exact same thing happen to mine. Flashed back to PH1 stock and rerooted and have been fine since. Only change I made in the process was not allowing my phone to recover all my apps and data after signing into Google but before doing the root. Went through and manually re-downloaded everything that I needed after I had successfully rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] MehNameIsDan:
I'm on the AT&T variant of the S7 and after following everything, I am unable to send text messages. The debloater and everything else is flashed. Are there any packages that might have been disabled for messaging I can look for?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
So I guess the vibrate 3 times and not turn on situation you described on the other thread is all resolved now?

As long as the message center number in your phone is correct then try going into flashfire or recovery and wiping cache. That should fix it.
