Follow this. And TURN OFF SECURITY POLICY UPDATES. this will give you the Monday morning blues (bootloop and freezing)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
No.....I don't believe I said that??? The debloat is what's messing your phone up. Flashfire only the v15 fix for any samsung galaxy s7. Afterwards, use Titanium backup pro to freeze what you dont want. I would never delete anything because the s7 don't like it when things go missing....so just freeze and be safe. Now if you flash a custom rom like stang5litre or Echoe then they already have things trimmed down and baked in so you won't have to worry about any bloatware with them. I think stang5litre even has one for Nougat now I believe. But his MM rom is top notch.

Edit.....I didn't see [MENTION=8007935]jruka[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4238660]freeop[/MENTION] already replied to this.....thanks out to them.

anyone having issues unroot s7? i can't seem to write the system using odin. the boot, and recovery no problem but nothing on the system it jumps to fail
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Krog18:
You need to find newer firmware as the ones linked in the OP are outdated and you cannot rollback that far anymore. Depending on your variant, most firmwares can be found at updato.com or sammobile.com.

If you jump from MM to N or vice versa, you need to odin the bl as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] freeop:
As [MENTION=7387489]Krog18[/MENTION] mentioned, those sites are good to know, if you are not in the US. I could never find my version of firmware there, but with the help of [MENTION=5171841]saf4xdadev[/MENTION], you can find just about any US version of firmware at www.theandroidsoul.com.

Don't know what version of firmware you need but it should be available at any of those sites.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] macs_queller1:
I am having the same issues. I have downloaded the firmware for my phone (SM-G90v) (7.0 N), but should I use both the BL and AP files in Odin? I've attempted to unroot, and I don't want to mess my phone up again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] kiit408:
The BL is I'm assuming the version of android

And the AP is the system that would work on that BL

So yes you need them both let me know how it works. I have to try when I get home from work.

If that doesn't work just root again using Odin. Try and have a recovery available jic. But I'm hoping the reason it didn't work was because the BL was newer then what is on here and couldn't revert back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] macs_queller1:
Well I've realized now the files were corrupt. I unzipped the folder a different way and now I have CSC, AP, BL, and CP. Which ones do I use? I am on 6.0.1 ENG boot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] kiit408:
If your looking to unroot and start fresh I would put everything in. BL, AP, CP, and CSC. Your going to erase everything including camera pictures that are not on your SD card so back that up.

Start Odin. Flash it all.

Let me know what happens ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] macs_queller1:
Forgot to mention there are two CSC's: HOME_CSC, and VSW_CSC. Should I flash them both as well? The reason I am asking is because when I originally rooted, I only had to use one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] kiit408:
I would probably use the vzw
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] freeop:
If you do not want to erase your data on your phone, HOME_CSC is the one to use. If you want to start fresh use the VSW_CSC that will wipe everything on your phone. If you are unrooting your phone make sure you use the Stock version of Odin not the PrinceComsy version. For some reason, I got errors when using the PrinceComey one. But everything did just fine with the Odin3 Version 3.12.3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] macs_queller1:
Everything's working! Thanks for your help.

Not for sure. Have you tried this one? https://xdaforums.com/android/software/odin-3-12-3-worlds-att-s7-odin-firmware-t3401470

There are a bunch of different ones going around. That one in that thread is for the ATT versions, supposedly. Not for sure about the Verizon version.

I just now when I tried to unroot my phone, I tried the PrineComsy first I got errors. I switched to the 3.12.3 version and everything went smoothly. At least it did for me when I unrooted my phone to update to Nougat, then again when I went from Nougat back to MM. BUT I did use the PrinceComsy version to root my phone with the OP version of the EngImg. And that's where I am now. Didn't have much luck with the Nougat.

Hope this helps...

Uh.. This might be a noob question, but how do I turn off SECURITY POLICY UPDATES? :p

I flashed my phone back to stock, and wanted to see the battery life for 1 day, I woke up this morning to my phone rebooting, and it updated to Nougat. Sooo, when I do re-root it, how do I stop it from updating ? lol

Is it just freezing this ?

Stuck in bootloop!!!!

Well, of course, I have to have the phone that doesn't like something...every type of phone I get.....NEVER do instructions work nicely for me. LOL!!!

So, my Galaxy S7 is stuck in the bootloop. YAY!!!! I have tried format cache, factory reset, etc...nothing is fixing this. I got the ODIN3 for ATT users....didn't want to risk it.... and it wouldn't run. So I tried the other one, and of course, it ran fine and installed the TAR file. And now, I am stuck in the loop!!!!

NOTE: I was able to get the ODIN3 app I should have used to finally load by swapping out the INI files. The ONLY difference in the files is the displayed name of it. Wish I had tried it before hand.... Now, when I run it., it tries to send the file but gives a FAIL

Does anyone have any ideas? Or am I screwed???

Thanks for any help...

Tried:

system/factory reset

clear/format cache

boot into safe mode (it will not let me do this at all)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
You probably need to Odin back to stock firmware and start over. Check which firmware version you're running and search for that one or newer, if desired, and using stock odin 3.12 or 3.12.3 return to stock. It will be better in the end anyway to start from a factory fresh stock phone when you begin the engboot kernel and root.bat procedure. That way you won't have any security features turned on like lock screen passwords etc.....which may be a reason for your bootloop before?? Remember that the Princecomsy odin is for engboot kernel and stock odin is for returning to stock. Plus this method is only for MM, not Nougat......so make sure you get the correct firmware to odin back to stock. There is a Nougat engboot thread in the tmobile area I believe, that works about the same......I'll try to get the link posted when I get a chance or just search. https://xdaforums.com/tmobile-s7-ed...ed-nougat-s7-edge-g935t-t3567502/post71287574

Yeah, I came to the same conclusion last night... And I figured I hadn't PREPPED enough before I started...my mistake.. I have AT&T and my phone had JUST updated to Nougat. So I flashed the Nougat software back on and all is well now.. Fresh clean phone...runs much faster again. LOL!!!

Followed a different tutorial

I had tried rooting my samsung galaxy s7 following a different tutorial (from a website called theunlockr), but didnt realize on the top it said that the method was outdated and not to use it. I tried it not realizing the disclaimer was there, and now my phone just flashes the samsung s7 logo on the screen. Any reccomendations on what i can do?

:crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] freeop:
I would say the easiest way is to follow the directions on the OP first page to UNROOT your phone. That should get you back to stock and you can go from there.

You are talking about Mashmallow firmware and not the Nougat version, correct?

If you want to try RECOVERY first, that would be about the fastest and will get you back also. Power off your phone and let it sit for a few minutes. Then press the Up Volume, Home Key and the Power button. That should get you into Recovery and you can go from there.

Hope this helps...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Krog18:
Just keep holding volume down, power and home until you get to download mode. Then you can use odin to flash your stock firmware. Don't use the firmware from the OP because it won't work. If you give me your model/variant and whether you want MM or N, I can give you a link.

I don't know if this is the right thread or not, but im having an issue. I want to get suhide for my G930V, but it requires a higher version of supersu than what the root.bat comes with.

Installed the debloater on my tmobile galaxy s7 not realizing this was for marshamllow.. i've read it was happening to others as well. I didn't see a fix. Is there any way to roll back the debloater install without losing everything on my phone? Can i re-install stock nougat and get rid of this debloater script without losing all my files? ANY help at all is much appreciated
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] freeop:
Am not for sure about using the debloater on a Nougat phone. As some of the things it did might not affect Nougat. But if you look at "Next Steps" and come down to where it says to "Click to Show Content" you will see what all the script actually does. Here's what it does:

Adds a rotate button to the native gallery app.

Adds a shortcut call button in the call log next to each logged call.

Adjusts several CPU tunables, which fixes phone lag and battery life issues.

Disables "No SIM" popup when no SIM card is present.

Disables roaming data by default.

Disables secure storage support, which fixes Wi-Fi passwords not saving issue.

Disables Verizon provisioning for Wi-Fi tethering/hotspot (will still use your data plan, of course).

Enables ADB to run as root by default.

Enables CPU idling/sleeping, which fixes phone heat issues.

Enables mock GPS locations.

Enables native call recording feature in the dialer.

Enables native Wi-Fi calling feature in the dialer.

Enables RIL power saving features.

Enables scheduled messages in the native messaging app.

Enables the camera during calls.

Enables unlimited contact merging.

Enables using the new 3GPP2 Profile ID (Verizon exclusive).

Fixes various 'searching for service' and other cellular network connectivity issues (SMS/MMS not working, calls not working, etc.)

Knox apps, drivers, and data are removed (fix+debloat version).

Prefers LTE network.

Raises the contact name length limit to 1,280 characters.

Raises the maximum SMS recipient limit from 10 to 90.

Remove nagging 'unauthorized actions' security notification (fix+debloat version).

Removes VoLTE icon.

Removes bloatware and/or apps that can be downloaded from the Play Store and don't need to live in /system (fix+debloat version):

You can try to undo all these items if you want to go through all the hassle.

Or you can just ReFlash your phone back to Stock Nougat and re-root it that way. Doing it this way would probably be the easiest and fastest way.

Hope this helps...

thank you! i'm in the process of trying to do this now.. i keep getting the IMS service has stopped pop up. Will factory ROM wipe my phone though? would i check BL AP CP CSC or just AP?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] freeop:
I had the same problem with IMS service and ended up just freezing the process in TiBU and that stopped that aggravation. Yes, a factory ROM will wipe the phone and get you back to factory settings. When you are going back to stock, you really want to wipe everything to get everything set back up and fresh. And that includes BL, AP, CP, and CSC.

When you root your phone you use just the AP for the EngImage for you phone. At least that is the process for the Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 Edge Snapdragon versions at the present time. Again it is just getting your phone all set up and getting rid of any bad settings that might have been introduced with the Debloater script.

Good luck...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Megatron84:

I'm on Android 6.0.1 with Baseband G930VVRU4API3. I am going to un-root my phone, can I just flash the Stock G930VVRU4API3 using Odin (thus erasing all my data on the internal storage of course, I made a backup) with no issues and then update to Nougat using OTA?

I'm asking because I saw an issue a user posted in this thread saying that you will get a "Failed!" error message when trying to return to stock.

Go into download mode and flash your stock rom. Or try the eng boot kernel for your phone.

Yup, you can odin the PI3 no problem. Or if your plan is to go to Nougat, you could just odin straight to Nougat, just make sure to include the bl file as well when you odin. Here's a link to the latest Nougat fw for your device

My guess is you tried to root Nougat with this method which will cause you to bootloop. Hold power, volume down and home until you get to download mode then you can odin stock firmware. Here's your Nougat stock fw

http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=1A7305D414DB11E7963AFA163EE8F90B

If you want MM, you can find stock PI3 at that same site. Make sure you include the bl file when you odin, especially of going from MM to N or vice versa.

This is the root guide for Nougat if you want it

Odin Failed

I've scoured this thread for any potential fixes without luck. Hoping someone here can help me out.

I have SM-G930V (not the edge), rooted it back in December. I want to return to stock and update to Nougat. According to the Android Recovery (Pwr+up+home), I have PE1.

I attempted to return to stock originally with the PrinceComsy version of Odin using PE1 firmware, and obviously it failed. I did a factory reset, cleared cache, and used Odin 3.12.5 without any luck. I downloaded PI3 firmware from updato.com to flash on Odin 3.12.5 without any luck either. I have also correctly uploaded the AP, CP, and CSC files into Odin.

So far, I've been flashing all three files at once. Am I supposed to flash them individually? Also, am I supposed to run CSC or HOME_CSC? Also, do I need to run BL as well with the other three files?

At this point, I have no OS. Any quick help anyone can offer me would be incredible.

SOLUTION: It appears to be that using AP, CP, CSC, and BL were necessary to get the flashing to work.

Download and extract this firmware

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298943544

Add BL, AP, CP, CSC (not home) in odin while the phone is in download mode and click start. That will put you right on stock Nougat.

Are you on Nougat or MM? Xposed currently isn't compatible with N so that could be your issue.

You can try clearing your cache in recovery or pulling your sim and maybe you can setup via wifi, but I kinda doubt that will get you anywhere. You'll probably need to flash stock firmware in odin. Use csc with home in it and you should be able to save your data.

If you have rooted your phone with this procedure, you don't want to update to Android 7.0 (Nougat). If you want to get rid of the notices about the update, use TiBU and freeze *Software Update and SecrurityLogAgent.

If you DO want to update to Nougat, you should unroot your phone and follow the directions on the first page of this thread and then Update to Nougat. After that you can root your phone using this procedure: https://xdaforums.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/heres-how-rooted-nougat-s7-edge-g935t-t3567502
