Thanks for all your hard work, it's greatly appreciated!

Please feel free to disregard this post entirely if the information is not of value to your development. I'm using an S7 Edge as an app-testing device and am seeing something odd. At this point I have to flash Nougat on it anyway, but thought this was strange so figured I'd post.

I followed these instructions and thought it worked perfectly. After a couple of weeks, Nova Launcher entered a "crashloop", trying to restart it self and crashing. I was busy at the time so I just switched to the stock launcher and tried to continue testing my app, but my app did the same thing. I found some apps would crash immediately, and some wouldn't. I tried a reboot. It never recovered, making it as far as the carrier logo screen and then vibrating every 10 seconds. Logcat appeared to run in a loop. Booted to recovery, wiped data, all was well.

I've been meaning to move the device to Nougat, but haven't had much time so have just been using it for the past two weeks as a non-rooted test device. I just saw the same behavior again, it went bootloopy on reboot, had to wipe data to recover.

Could simply be a bad device and have nothing to do with the modifications... I did all this the day I pulled it out of the box.

Thanks again for all you do, and again don't worry about this issue if it's not interesting.

Sounds like what happens at the start of the week if you don't turn off security updates. Phone gets real laggy,jittery and freezey. Then when you think to yourself " needs a reboot" that's when you get the vibrating loop. Fyi

There are over 3000 posts in this thread; honestly I can't imagine anyone reading them all. I've read the OP, and gone backwards several pages.

First there are a lot of folks talking about TMobile...thought this was spoused to be VZW based thread for the S7...so it's confusing at best trying to find I fox for the VZW S7.

Second from what I'm reading the instructions in the OP's post should NOT be used for a 930V on VZW if you have upgraded to Nougat...correct?

I rooted all my droids so I'm not a noob but I'm certainly no expert...not even sure if I want or need to root my S7, I do miss Titanium Backup though, but I'd like the option if it's possible...so is it possible and where would I find the instructions.

Thanks

If you are looking to root your phone with Nougat installed, you may want to check out this thread: https://xdaforums.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/heres-how-rooted-nougat-s7-edge-g935t-t3567502

It is on the T-mobile forums but it is supposed to work with all Galaxy S7 phones (SM-G935x or SM-G930x).

I tried it on my SM-G935A, but my battery was draining so much came back to MM and this root. But a lot of people are having great luck with it. And it only has a little over 800 posts, a little better reading :)

Hope this helps.

There is a rom that will work on the Verizon S7s or the T-Mobile S7s. Find that room and install Nougat and root following the instructions. Then you use Flashfire to install the rom. I don't run LSpeed or any kernel tuner and it is running great. I haven't had much of a chance to test battery but so far it's a lot better then just rooting.

nouget

was curious if the lag fix/debloat zip works for nouget
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] rtfelt:
Is this the correct fix?

Okay, I've read through a bunch of these posts but not all and want to confirm I'll be doing the right thing. I've rooted my Verizon S7 (SM-G930V) on Android 6.0.1 build PI3, so I need to load the fix titled S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_V15.zip (MD5 hash F15CD9BDC35382A8F48FFBEDBB1BCDF0) (any Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge) correct? My phone is lagging something fierce and heating up and draining the battery, so I need to do this ASAP before it dies. I just want to make sure I'm copying the right file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] freeop:
Yes that is the correct one. I did this just the other day and that is the one you want to do with Version 6.01. Just that one, not the Debloater one. The Debloater one is out of date, but the Fixes V15 is good.

You may also want to download from the playstore the app called Kernel Adiutor (Yes that is how the author spells it) and set the CPU Governor to OnDemand or Conservative. I have mine set on OnDemand and seems to help quite a bit.

Hope this helps.

IMS Service Stopped Working

I just used the debloat and fix zip linked here and flashed it following the instructions. My phone rebooted once and would not stop telling me "ISM Service stopped working" I did a factory reset which didn't seem to do anything and I am still having the issue. Any suggestions

EDIT: I know realize that this was intended not for phones running nougat. Is there anything I can do to fix this? (This is my first time rooting)

FlashFire not getting root access

I downloaded the correct zip file and opened FlashFire, but it's stuck at "Acquiring root access...". I opened Root Checker, and yes I'm rooted. What could the deal be?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] freeop:
Did you install the SuperSU package? Make sure it is installed and operating. Check the Settings and make sure the "Enable superuser" and "Re-authorization" are enabled.

Flashfire needs the SuperUser permissions and SuperSU grants it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] freeop:
Ok good. Now did you have Nougat already installed on your phone? Did your phone just go through a recent update? AT&T saying you have been updated to Software Version 7.0?

If so, this root procedure is for MM or 6.01 and will cause problems with trying to install the eng img.

There are a couple of things you can do with Odin. Find the correct version of firmware you had and try reflashing it with Odin. Make sure you have OEM USB Debugging turned on before using Odin.

Edit: Looks like the tar files that you installed were for MM 6.01 and was the Security Update for 6.01. Did you use all four files? AP BL CP and CSC?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jruka:
So I used this method back in the beginning of February and the first attempt failed due to security policy updates was not turned off. That caused a bootloop issue. Wiped back to factory thru Odin..... not thru phone..... then rerooted COMPLETELY in one sitting. My phone has been great since. I have a short outline in this post about a month ago. I suggest starting from stock and clean with nothing else on phone. I believe from memory the only thing else I have done other than what's in post is installing kernel auditor and greenify (trying it out). Phone is not laggy, battery depending on usage I get a full days operation and phone stays cool. I am completely :)

There are 4 stock files that you flash to go completely new. That's what I did after I had the bootloop issue. I felt that a clean slate would produce better results and I have not had issue with this software load. Just my opinion
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] freeop:
Don't use that firmware that you are posting in the thread. That is for Version 6.01 and will get errors.

If you want to install stock files back to Nougat, search for G935AUCU4BQA6 and use all 4 of the files. That will get you back to Stock Nougat for AT&T...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Nicktag:
Ok right on I'll try searching for that. Thank you!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jruka:
If your phone is on bootloader v4 I believe you can go backwards to marshmallow on att. This is not from experience but from what I have read. You just can't back to v3. There are also 2 Odins, one for stock only and the prince comey that can SOMETIMES do both and sometimes fails with stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jruka:
So this is mm on att 930 flat. 9th digit is a 4. If you compare with the nougat it's 9th digit is a 4. Good for att users:svetius:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] freeop:
I can confirm this as you said. I just got a replacement phone this weekend and it came with Nougat. I personally didn't like the Eng Image that was on the forums for Nougat and used the Odin Original (Not PrinceComey) and reflashed my phone to Marshmallow 6.01 Stock and used this procedure to root this version.

I love this version and am very happy with everything that is working with this one. But like you said, it is possible to use Oden and go back to MM as long as the Bootloader is #4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Nicktag:
Yea I cant acess my phone to find out if its boot loader 4 and I dont mind nougat I just need a working phone haha but im downloading those nougat files and my pc is running super duper slow while downoading and i need to get some sleep so im gonna check back later today hopefully i can fix this. Thanks for your help everyone!! Shoud I be using regular odin or is the one from this thread ok to use?

No don't use this version of Odin. Get Version 3.12.3 from this thread: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2711451. It has the correct Stock Version of Odin with all the previous versions for downloading. But get the 3.12.3 version as it is the latest one to use for flashing Stock files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jruka:
You can try either but if the modified don't work use stock. And remember firmware won't go backwards on either. I used stock Odin when I reflashed stock and used the other to root. Don't forget to authorize phone in adb and remove Google account, passwords etc...

Hello,

I'm considering picking up a Verizon GS7 (or GS7 Edge) until the Pixel 2 comes out. I absolutely need root (I use Xposed pretty heavily, AdAway, Titanium Backup, need to be able to modify things that will give me WiFi hotspot tethering, and probably a number of other apps I'm forgetting.)

I have not been keeping up with the Verizon Galaxy S7 / S7 Edge rooting threads recently, but I just looked through the OP and rooting, flashing the optimizations / fixes, and flashing Xposed all look quite simple compared to some of the other phones I've experienced.

1) Is this still the process to root and optimize the Verizon variant, or are there preferable versions that get things working better than this?

2) How much does the performance and battery life to stock after rooting, flashing the fixes and Xposed? (Please try to be as objective as possible - I know owning a you naturally are inclined to oversell it, but I need to know how much my performance and battery life will suffer from rooting, etc, because I use my phone *constantly.*

3) Besides Samsung Pay / Android Pay, does rooting break or negatively affect anything material? (Bluetooth, wifi, radios, sms, mms, calling/dialer, camera, sensors, software functionality, fast charge, fingerprint reader, or anything else?)

I figured you guys are probably the most knowledgeable about this subject, so I wanted to ask as many questions as I could before picking up a used Verizon S7 / S7 Edge.

Thanks!

1) Is this still the process to root and optimize the Verizon variant, or are there preferable versions that get things working better than this?

No. For the MM version of the S7, this is the best way to root. You said you were going to be getting an S7 or S7E and if it comes with MM, yes, but if it comes with Nougat, there is another thread that covers rooting the Nougat firmware. Basically the same way, Engineering Image but with the Nougat EngImg. You can read about it here: https://xdaforums.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/heres-how-rooted-nougat-s7-edge-g935t-t3567502

I have had both versions of the Root Image and I prefer this one. I was on this one, updated my phone OTA then rooted with that one in the link. For me it was really bad and I ended up going from Nougat back to MM and rerooting with this procedure.

2) How much does the performance and battery life to stock after rooting, flashing the fixes and Xposed? (Please try to be as objective as possible - I know owning a you naturally are inclined to oversell it, but I need to know how much my performance and battery life will suffer from rooting, etc, because I use my phone *constantly.*

I have not had any problems at all with this version. My battery is great and as far as I can tell my performance is excellent. This is one reason I came back to this version as with the Nougat root, I was only getting about 4 hours battery time, while this one, I am easily getting close to 24 hours on a charge and that is with Medium usage daily. And this one can use Xposed, the Nougat one does not. Another reason coming back to this version.

3) Besides Samsung Pay / Android Pay, does rooting break or negatively affect anything material? (Bluetooth, wifi, radios, sms, mms, calling/dialer, camera, sensors, software functionality, fast charge, fingerprint reader, or anything else?)

Not that I have found. Everything on my phone works perfectly, except like you said Samsung and Android Pay, but I don't use those. All the other items that you mentioned work pretty much as intended. I even have WiFi-Calling working which is a plus for me.

Again this version of the root for the Samsung S7 Series has worked out pretty much the way I wanted it to. I use TiBu, Tasker, LSpeed, FlashFire, Greenify, Kernel Adiutor, and Root Explorer with no problems at all.

Hope this helps...

I restarted the phone and it worked. I didn't do anything to change it, but something happened, so I was able to install the v15 fix. My S7 is still lagging though--videos are all pausing and "buffering" something it didn't do before I rooted. It's also still heating up. I'll have to wait and see if the battery still drains as fast or not. Is there anything else that can be done to speed it up?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] freeop:
I would wait a few hours to see if it settles down. It takes it a little time to adjust to the new kernal/OS.

One thing that may help is to get either LSpeed or Kernel Aduitor. I have KA and have set the CPU Governor to "On Demand" to help with the lag.

But I think if you just give it some time it will work itself out, at least it did for me.

Has anyone used this guide to speed up their phone on PI3? The last post was last August before this build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] woodtablet:
I have used this guide on my ATT Galaxy S7 running Marshmallow and granted my self root via Odin and Eng Kernel and use the SU binaries, and that worked great.

Then I used the associated Flashfire and flashfire script of fixes and debloating, and that I think worked, but I have a problem, battery life.

Its hoooooorrrific. So I am pretty sure the flashfire scripts work for setting the cpu stuff because Kernel Adiutor says the clocks speeds go down to like 300Mhz for Big and Little clusters, and it has "interactive" as the cpu govenor (i think that is what is it called), but again the battery life is terrible. And the "ask for wifi" password doesnt happen everytime I reboot the phone anymore, so I think the flashfire scripts worked (it did the double reboots and stuff)

I have manually disabled the ATT stuff via "disable from the standard app manager" and rebooted / recharged the few times.

The battery usage meter says 2 huge and disturbing things: 34% battery used by Android System and 17% Android OS. Which is disturbing because on my Note4, those 2 rated at like 5% each, and was way way down on the list of battery usage. And my Note4 was my primary driver up until yesterday.

I have tried "battery optimization" from the settings => battery menu, and I did greenfiy a few things. I disabled the "Always On" screen so the clock is no longer visible, and I disabled "Ok Google" Unlock, so that shouldnt be running anymore.

Suggestions? :confused:

Please help,

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] freeop:
If you look on page one of this thread you will see a statement, along with a "Click Here" or something like that. Look for "Full notes on what this flashable update does:". Click on the second one and it will tell you what the debloat actually does.

You could restart all those items then flash the fix and see if that helps. Don't think redoing the complete Stock>Root is necessary unless this doesn't work.

Hopefully that should help, or at least I hope it does.
