I managed to get a screenshot before the installer closed. When installing ADB it quickly closes after installation. It looks I'm getting some errors

---------- Post added at 12:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 AM ----------

In the FAQ/helpsection in the first post it says "Your user profile path can't contain a space. That means if your Windows user is 'Somebody Nice' and thus your Windows user path is 'C:\Users\Somebody Nice', the install will fail. You can create another user on your computer (if prompted for a Microsoft login, choose to make only a local account) and enter a short, single-word name for your user. Sign into and use that user profile instead. "

So I mean I created another account with a single-word username. But it looks like I am having issues installing ADB. I grabbed a screenshot before the installer closed. Can you recognize any fixable issues from it? (see previous post) thnx for your response

after many years with Apple I finally switched back to Android...only had my Verizon s7 a week and successfully rooted. can't thank the squad here enough for the exploits and making it so easy however I have a couple questions. (forgive me for being a 1post monkey)

My build version G930V...PF2 postdates PE1 correct? and if that is true then my desired hotspot feature isn't within reach given the patches only work with PE1? And unroot is impossible given my PF2 build unless I can find my stock firmware available to download somewhere right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] orgulloso4202:
Did you check out the link I posted for you earlier? http://www.isunshare.com/android/fix-error-adb-not-recognized-as-command.html

It has a temporary solution and a permanent one. Hope it helps. I see about the username. If your running Windows 7+ make sure to run it under administrator.

I'm running Pf2, but I think I have Hotspot in my account. I actually thought it was included in all Verizon account now for free. You can downgrade to pf1, from the link in the first post here it's after the root guide and others stuff, I believe it's going back to stock pf1 firmware. I would just check for apps that give you hot stop. Give me max 1 hr and see if I have one at home.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] qzt4:
Thanks for the reply. I know I could look around for an app but the ones I've tried either don't work or cost$... tempted to try the buildprop edit but I've been reading about people facing bootloops with it

Try this one. It's an oldie. It worked for. Me right now but my native Hotspot works. Let me know

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] r0bb1t:
Yes I did see that, thank you. However, I have concluded that there is an error in installation. Did you see the screenshot I posted? I believe that since ADB is not being installed correctly, then that is the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] orgulloso4202:
Maybe you got a bad download. I would say re-download again. I know it works because it's the same one I used. If you re-download and have the same results, then try the guide I posted and see if this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
This is what mine looks like: http://imgur.com/jNV22Cl -- are you using Xposed to theme it or something that may be causing this? There are so many options that could be interfering that I really don't know if this is a root issue.

That's promising -- keep an eye on heat, performance, and battery life and let me know how it goes for you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] djh816:
It was doing the issue before xposed but no, no theme tools in xposed. Just rootcloak. Also for reference this is using the "Android 6.0" theme on the theme store. Stock theme works fine :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Gerr1985:
Would you happen to have any xposed modules active that might be theming that? Mine's still perfectly white.

I've only flashed v2 and now v3, could it have been an issue in the v1 flash zip?

This might be just an unintended consequence of running the engboot image then and not something in my realm to fix. You may want to start another thread about the issue under root and see if other people have some ideas. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] djh816:
Nope, but am trying to use "Android 6.0" theme on Samsung theme store. Stock touchwiz theme works great and is white as you describe but I'm much more of a fan stock colors
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] djh816:
Will do, FWIW the rest of the theme works great. Only the incall ui portion is weird. Dialer and contacts in the phone app look perfect: https://i.imgur.com/kwPv3DL.png
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Come to think of it, this script does replace /system/priv-app/InCallUI/InCallUI.apk for some reason. That part of the script is a carry-over from whatever [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] was doing and I'm not sure exactly what he changed in it or if it's compatible with a non-Edge device. I can post the stock APK if you want to push it to your device (you'll have to be comfortable with doing that on your own as well as setting permissions).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jrkruse:
The IncallUI is replaced with international variant so the layout for call record and video buttons aren't all messed up like on the Verizon one When you add call record since Verizon uses and overlay on the IncallUI things become distorted. Besides this one looks nicer than the Verizon one
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] djh816:
Force closes on call (but menubar goes green like I'm used to :P). I'll stick with the modded one for now. Thanks for the upload!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
I know why it did that and V4 of my script should fix it. Give it a try?

Hey, does anyone know if this will delete my entire phone/ files stored, im using Verizon, U.S. carrier? In addition to that question, when I use ODIN, would I open the .tar file in BL or AP?

Thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] djh816:
Confirmed, my incall ui looks just like it does on the v4 build and now tether is working great :) Thanks again for all your effort!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] djh816:
Only will wipe phone if you have to unroot. Rooting does not require wipe. Just make sure to read OP's notes about disabling secure lock on boot or whatever it's called. And as stated in that same OP, he says to feed the .tar to AP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Rooting and installing Xposed will not affect your app data. Unrooting/restoring to stock will.

In 'AP'. It does specifically say that already in the instructions, which are really important for you to read carefully, so make sure you do.

Fantastic!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] awesomesauce000:
Hey another question fellows, I got rooted for about 5 min then i opened the bat file in SuperSu rar file and it didnt reboot, however it restarted and now it is unrooted but is very slow, any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] djh816:
Sounds like you didn't follow the instructions to the T :P But that said I assume you didn't follow the secure startup tip:

As for the lag, this is typical until you apply OP's debloat and cpu fix zip file (recommended steps for Verizon). Here's the link for v5 but again, please read the whole OP (and he may have updated this in the OP so even more reason to look there). https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591023225178051

Edit: Also one more tip for folks doing this, you might check that adb is authorized before starting on the Odin steps etc. For example if you do "adb devices", and see "unauthorized", any commands issues by adb on your computer will be ignored by the phone (like SuperSu's bat file). Make sure to accept the prompt on your phone first to authorize it. If you need the prompt again for authorization, "adb shell" should do. Here is the prompt I mean: http://www.geekcosmos.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/USB-debugging-RSA-key-prompt.jpg
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] r0bb1t:
Re-downloaded and got the same error during installation as in the screenshot. Anyways I'll try what you linked. Hope it works! (will report back)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] orgulloso4202:
I'm pretty sure it's something with your computer stopping it from working. Keep us in the loop. Hopefully it helps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] r0bb1t:
I cannot find that destination path. I think it has something to do with the installation errors

For temporary fix don't have: 1) C:\Users\isunshare\Downloads\android-sdk_r24.4.1-windows\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools and,

2) C:\Users\isunshare\Downloads\android-sdk_r24.4.1-windows\android-sdk-windows\tools

For permanent fix don't have: C:\Users\isunshare\Downloads\android-sdk_r24.4.1-windows\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

FYI - for those to whom it may concern...

I did the V15 fix (non-debloat) on my G935V/PF2 and haven't had any issues yet (knocking on wood).

Prior to the install (no resets): Obtained root by following directions. Did the WiFi fix. Froze Updates and Security Log.

Followed process for installing the V15. After boot, I let the device chill with the screen on for 5 minutes to settle.

Device is working flawlessly at the moment. No lag. No overheating.

Conclusion: Following the instructions for Installing/Flashing "S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_V15.zip" on G935V / PF2 with Updates disabled and SecurityLog disabled, having already preformed the WiFi fix, after following the instructions for root, without any resets worked flawlessly for me *

for about 2 hours

*. No previous modifications were made or attempted on this device prior to obtaining root.

Always keep in mind that your mileage may vary.

In the event that this conclusion changes, I will report back with a quote.

P.S. I think this is my 1000 post.

:highfive:

----------Update-------

After approximately 2 hours of heavy use, my device started getting sluggish and was clearly struggling. Heat hasn't been an issue as the temperature seems to be quite similar to what I experienced Stock. The lag is now significantly worse than Stock, while performance in games appears to be better. Most importantly, the battery drain is pretty significant.

I believe it was swick1981 that mentioned the flash resulted in a funky experience, and this has definitely been the case.

Hello, after rooting my phone using this guide and installing some xposed modules I am having some problems. When i make a call it connects to network 123456 instead of verizon, and I am unable to use 4g. 3g works fine but there is no LTE. I used all of the pokemongo gps spoofs that are provided, so I think this could be a cause. Does anyone have any ideas of what could be going on? Am I posting this in the correct thread? Thank you in advance!

Under setting, I believe for some reason it changes to charging only. So you need to go and change it to file transfer, photo transfer.

I forgot it's under developer options scroll down til you see USB configuration and change it to MTP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] r0bb1t:
Exactly, it was under developer options. So now do I have to manually change this thru my phone every time?

Also, everytime it reboots it has forgotten the wifi password. I have installed the fix+debloat package and also the deepdebloat package. That is about all I have done so far. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] orgulloso4202:
I don't think it will switch back after reboot. I installed the v 15 fix only. Do you have pf1 or pf2 firmware? If you have pf2 then only flash v 15 fix.

So why set the animations to 0.5? And I am not sure how to tell if I have pf1 or pf2. my build never and baseband version both end in PE1 if that has anything to do with it.

Also, this phone is new. Ever since I had it I get the daily reminder to update software. I have been delaying it though because of my plans to root. Now that I am rooted, I am still getting the software update though. It is on 6.0.1

I've searched everywhere before I asked this, but has anyone figured out how to get smart switch to run after debloat?

You could run it prior to debloat. Or get a logcat of the problem. It may tell you why it's crashing.

Is there an uninstall zip for this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] bschuster:
Thank you! Didn't even think about a logcat, was up late trying to figure this out, but now that you hit me in the head, i figured it out! For anyone having this issue, you have to go into application manager and give it permissions for everything. For some reason the app is requesting permissions in the background, but never actually asking the user.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ncoig:
Well, I'm a bit confused about your subsequent posts which seem to indicate you are still having issues... but I can attest to Xposed being the culprit (or the primary one, anyway) in draining the snot out of my battery. I, like you, did exhaustive analysis of my phone, processes, etc., and on my best day GSAM would show a 22-26 hour expected standby time... IF, I didn't, say, USE the phone. In real world usage, I would average 8-10 hours MAX before I was tapped (which was admittedly better than the 6 I was getting right after root). Android OS and Android System were ALWAYS the primary battery draining processes, miles ahead of the screen or anything else.

Once I removed Xposed, put the phone down and checked the expected standby time several minutes later, I was showing 66 hours of expected standby... and my phone doesn't feel like I could drop it in a cup of water and boil the contents, either. Time will tell if real-world conditions change, but given these indications and my "seat of the pants" experience, I expect to get much closer to the advertised "all day usage" out of the phone now.

For what it may be worth, I'm on the unlocked Snapdragon variant, so little bloat.

PS - If you found a way to have Xposed work without the drain, please let me know!

Yep, I still have the bad drain, but it's a lot better now that I'm using Amplify + ForceDoze + PowerNap. Just be sure to whitelist everything you need in PowerNap if you decide to use it (forcedoze, amplify, android system, etc.)

In Battery Historian I see a very high "UNACCOUNTED" battery drain (30%+) and sometimes my battery drops like an anvil even in standby.

Right now I'm looking into custom kernels and CPU governors as I've heard they help a lot, but I'm not sure if I can use them with the locked bootloader on the Verizon S7... anyone have any input or recommendations?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ncoig:
So you reinstalled Xposed, or you're experiencing the drain without it? You had indicated removing Xposed gave you some relief in earlier posts...

Have you reviewed your log files?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ajthemacboy:
I'm currently using Xposed so I can take advantage of things like Amplify and Power Nap which help a lot. I erased my phone a couple times and started from scratch a couple times because I broke some things a few times with no change. The Xposed drain didn't seem to be as significant before Amplify and Power Nap anyway but I definitely still noticed it.

I also followed this guide to use Gov Tuner to supposedly tweak the interactive governor to use less power. So far I haven't noticed anything but YMMV.

And as I said, right now I want to know if I can use this kernel without recovery/bootloader access... can I flash this using FlashFire or Odin perhaps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ^I'm_With_Stupid:
So after doing some testing and investigating it appears as if swap is turned on in this kernel and as a result system performance is awful whenever memory is low, which also results in poor battery life. The process itself is called kswapd0. This used to be used all the way up to froyo when android devices were very low ram, but now there's no reason for swap to be enabled. I'm going to try to find a way to turn it off, unless anyone here knows how to turn off swap?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] alaindesjardins:
I'm having horrible battery drain as well. Wiped a few times and have xposed with the goodies and govtuner etc. Battery drain says android using over 40% of my battery. I cant make it last more than 10 hours.

All I wanted was root so I could debloat my phone. Why is that such a problem? Why can't Samsung make a phone that doesn't have all this **** on it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Silkmeister1:
[MENTION=7603297]r0bb1t[/MENTION] you need to download the whole Android SDK along with java JDK and find the path to platform tools probably something like C://Users/App data/local/Android/SDK/platform-tools and extract the five SU files including the root.bat in this directory. Then open up an elevated command prompt and cd to the path where you have sdk platform-tools and then simply plug your phone in under charging mode and type "root" without the quotations.

This is how I rooted. Let me know if that helped
