EDIT: Hm, I think I just noticed the guide I was following somehow made me end up with the ATT build? That would definitely cause some issues, wonder how that happened.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] motiam4:
please after flashing fix file for any carrier S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_Debloater_V14 ,I got com.android.phone has stopped,please is there any fix?

my phone is s7 edge sprint running PE1 version.

thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] suchavibrantthang:
this is great news, happy real independence day from the carriers!

i know we're treading in new waters and we all wanted root. does this mean the security updates aren't going to arrive OTA?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Settings force-closes when you go into system updates, so I presume not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] chadhoard:
"Hide the VoLTE icons by downloading and pushing a new APK:

imsservice.apk (credit x3demond3x)"

How do I push this file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] 5GSignalPro:
If rooted will it stay rooted? Or could an OTA kill the root?

Also with root is there a way to fix so the native hotspot app works with a Unlimited Data plan?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
The author posted instructions here.

Well, like I said a few posts up: system updates force-closes Settings, so it's highly likely you can't even get an OTA anymore. If it does, however, you can always return to stock and re-root (and then block OTAs by freezing the system updater APKs).

According to [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION], it's possible by decompiling a system APK to adjust one of its files. Here's his notes. I would wait until an Xposed module or flashable update becomes available unless you really feel confident of doing this yourself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] 5GSignalPro:
[MENTION=1599591]psouza4[/MENTION] Thank you for all the great help!

No one really knows if this is truly safe? Think about the Security. Because obtaining root was not done through a known exploit but instead from a leaked image there's no way really of knowing if there is any back doors or how secure it really is. Just a thought..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] freak69ize:
System update doesn't force close settings on my phone

Edit: I assuming now its because i havent used Flashfire yet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] freak69ize:
There are 5 files in the system image zip ( for going back to stock ) is one of them for the radio.. because it says Roaming Indicator Off on the statusbar when i unlock my phone.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] chadhoard:
Every time I reboot, it takes for ever to unlock the phone. After that first unlock, everything seems to be good. It is just that first unlock just laggggggggggssssssssss.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] freak69ize:
Did you set the governor to ondemand or interactive?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] chadhoard:
Yes, I set the CPU gov. to on-demand, but it changes back everytime I rebbot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] freak69ize:
Ok.. did you set it to start on boot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] chadhoard:
Yes, but still sucks. Plus, it changed back to preference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] yoursogay44:
Thanks for throwing this together. Helped immensely.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jonesy159:
i did everything then when i download the supersu file and i extract it then click on the rootbatch it opens and then instantly recloses is thier a way to fix this or is it my computer blocking it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
I think you mean 'performance'. You're way better off with 'ondemand' and make sure the max CPU is set all the way up (it's not, by default). If it's not sticking on a reboot and you're -sure- you've set the option at the top, then you may have locked down the app with Greenify or Amplify or another auto-run app which can prevent this from running on startup. Check your configuration.

Thanks, glad to hear it!

Sounds like you didn't enable USB debugging, don't have the right Windows drivers installed, don't have ADB installed to your system, don't have a solid USB connection between your PC and phone (try another cable, another USB port, etc.), etc. There's a lot that can go wrong here, so do some troubleshooting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Ridl3y:
I advise anyone trying this now to stop and rethink. This is still too new and there are TONS of bugs. My phone was practically bricked doing this and I had no backups. Everything I had since December is gone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
That's unfortunate and of course everyone's mileage may vary -- although I think it's generally in poor taste to waggle a finger at anyone over backups, you really ought to have performed a backup. Helium would have served you well here.

For most people having issues, they weren't using the PE1 build (i.e.: rejecting OTA updates). The PE1 flashable is included here in the unroot/restore section and starting from that point may be the preferred way to go. I've been using the root for about 34-35 hours now with no stability issues at all and I feel like my experience has been positive as a result of a clean and compatible system. I suspect the engboot boot image isn't fully compatible with the earlier system versions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] mwshows:
LOL don't mean to laugh... Well yes I do kinda. I didn't know there were people who still didn't believe in backing things up before they take the leap to root. Sort of a prerequisite since the first days of rooting android years ago....

If there's any more powerful message on XDA over and over and over. It's backup backup backup. Always backup. Flashing always always always carries risk of bad behavior by your phone.

Lastly, it almost impossible to brick these Sammy phones. I doubt anything you did came remotely close to an actual brick. Best of luck man!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Ridl3y:
No matter what I do, I can't get the root.bat file to connect. I've followed the steps corrected and it worked the first time. Now nothing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
I would start over with my guide -- which means using TiBu to backup to an -external- sdcard (internal sdcard will be wiped), then using my guide to unroot and reroot. That process will restore the Verizon stock image and build to your phone. Who knows what other weirdness you may have by having the wrong build -- it could just be a wonky build.prop or you may have other files that are seriously wrong and may cause you issues. I can't say for certain.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Alucardis666:
msservice.apk fails to run on my device. I do have unknown sources checked but it doesn't seem to work. I'm on the U firmware and do have root. I don't understand it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
You can't install or sideload the file directly, it should be flashed instead.

Additionally:

I just updated the flashable update packages to V15 which resolves an issue for imsservice.apk installation on users coming from the U firmware (we install to /system/app, but they had it in /system/priv-app). Thanks and credit to [MENTION=1314742]Dameon87[/MENTION] for pointing this out. If the VoLTE icons were still showing for you after flashing V14 (or earlier), try V15.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Alucardis666:
I will try that tonight. Thanks!

And thanks too for updating the op. I wanna love my S7E again. I switched to the HTC 10 as my DD as the S7E got laggy and suffered poor battery life after 6 weeks of me having it. I'm sure root should remedy that with the right tweaks in place.

Thanks again for the quick replies!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Haunt3r:
[MENTION=1599591]psouza4[/MENTION] would you say L speed in the app store is safe to run along side your scripts or no? If you recommend staying away from it I definitely will.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
It seems safe to run, but I haven't personally tested it or endorse it. I will say that trying it out probably won't hurt, so if it doesn't work out for you, uninstalling and rebooting the device should return you back to my startup script's default CPU settings. That said, always make backups when playing with stuff that has root access!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] mefistofel666:
PB5 build?

First, thank you for the amazing work!

Sorry for what probably is a stupid question but still.... I am on verizon G930VVRU2APB5 build which is their latest update at least for me. Should I ODIN to PE1 build? TIA
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
You'll lose your userdata and internal sdcard, so back up whatever you want to an external sdcard or off the device and then yes, I would definitely recommend the PE1 build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] sh4d0ws1n:
It appears to all be working now. Thanks, and sorry for all the complications.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JAYNO20:
I am using L speed with no issues. I do not have it set to change any CPU settings, though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] W1nks:
Thanks that got it to work. Does anyone know where to find instruction to get working in the notifications again? I looked around and couldn't find anything that had a fix.

psouza4, Would it be possible to have a changelog for the different versions of your script? I installed V13 and now I see you're up to V15. I was just wondering if I needed to keep flashing as you did these updates. Thanks so much for this guide and everything you do!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Cool -- what benefits can you verify you're getting from it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Sakuryu:
I found out the reason behind my reboots was flashing xposed along side the patch. It reboots continuously, more than twice. Any thoughts on fixing it? My modules are youtube adaway, rootcloak, mock mock locations, and lucky patcher.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
If you're using a Verizon or AT&T phone, there's really nothing in V14 or V15 you need. If you're on Sprint or maybe T-Mobile, you may want V15.

Here's what changed from V12 to V14:

/data/s7startup/master.sh - version 2 to version 3, besides some changes in comments, this version will sync on each other startup script that requests a reboot instead of only syncing right before the reboot

/data/s7startup/s7cpusettings.sh - (no version change) one comment was removed

/data/s7startup/s7updateothersxml.reset - file added, it triggers the s7updateothersreset.xml to bypass tests to see if it needs to apply a patch and just applies the patch from the start (hence 'reset')

/data/s7startup/s7updateothers.xml - version 5 to version 6, checks for a reset file and also known bad settings (the 'CscFeature_Setting_EnableMenuBlockCallMsg' and 'CscFeature_Common_EnableAirMessage' settings that cause blank menus to appear in the phone settings), if either conditions exist, a version reset trigger causes the entire script to re-run, skipping version checks. Additional logic was added to always modify those settings to FALSE if they ever get turned on, both in /system/csc/others.xml as well as /system/csc/feature.xml (persistent/aggressive disabling of those two settings). If a reset file was found (from re-flashing), it will delete it before running the patch to prevent always patching on startup.

/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script - version 12 to version 14, besides cosmetic stuff like 'Bloatware' being called 'Bloat, the script now deletes the following /system/app or /system/priv-app apps AmazonKindle_vpl_ATT, Directv_ATT, Directtv_Shade_ATT, Facebook_stub, FBInstagram_stub, Gmail2, Hangouts, Lookout_TMO, Maps, MyATT_ATT, Plenti_vpl_ATT, Safetyinformation, SecHelp, WhatsAppDownloader, AmazonInstaller_ATT, Amazon_Shopping_vpl, AmazonShopping_vpl_ATT, DigitalLocker_ATT, DriveMode_ATT, FamilyUtility_ATT, Lookout_ATT, MobileLocate_ATT, RemoteSupport_ATT, SimLock_TMO, WhitePagesNameId-release_TMO. Additionally, canid, Kies, and LocationAgent are no longer being deleted (via commented lines) in v14 but were in v12.

Here's what changed from V14 to V15

I just updated the flashable update packages to V15 which resolves an issue for imsservice.apk installation on users coming from the U firmware (we install to /system/app, but they had it in /system/priv-app). Thanks and credit to [MENTION=1314742]Dameon87[/MENTION] for pointing this out. If the VoLTE icons were still showing for you after flashing V14 (or earlier), try V15.

Unfortunately, I'm out of room in my OP to post changelogs (32000 character limit max, including symbols/markup).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] hleo114312:
The standard v14 zip can i use it on the U versión? Or has to be the PE1 like stated?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JAYNO20:
I FEEL like the phone is a little faster/smoother after enabling a few tweaks, but I can't really confirm any of this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
I don't use RootCloak or Lucky Patcher, but I do use the other two and they don't give me any issues. I'd check the logcat via ADB for clues why you may be restarting -- and you can disable the master startup script in there too by renaming (or deleting; you can always re-flash later) the file /data/s7startup/master.sh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Use the generic/non-Verizon version v15. It should say either S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_V15.zip or S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_Debloater_V15.zip is safe for all S7/S7E phones with the Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU.

Any changes in benchmarks, then?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Sakuryu:
I've never dumped a logcat? any help there?

just typing adb logcat gives me -waiting for device-

thank you for your effort.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Using ADB from your PC, you can adb logcat *:E for all error messages logged since last boot. It may take a long time to scroll through this if there's a lot of errors, but it should eventually slow/stop so you can read it. You can also redirect to a file using adb logcat *:E > errors.txt and then wait for a few minutes before closing it with Ctrl+C. That will let you read errors.txt at your leisure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JAYNO20:
Running now...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Please flash V15 if you're on Sprint as mentioned here. The main post has been updated with the new file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
This has been a big deal on multiple phones in the past. I think it involves wiping the data for contacts.

So no, not really a huge difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
If you go into Developer Options and choose MTP, it'll keep this setting until you reboot. I don't want to install another app that does the same thing. I'd rather come up with a fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Sakuryu:
Anyway I can preserve my folder structure for my app drawer if I full stock *again*. When it gets like this I can either ODIN with Home_CSC and save my stuff, or go full Stock. I'm not sure if the HOME_CSC leaves any remnants or whatever though. Anyway, T-Mobile PG1 S7-Edge. Rooted with Engboot, Then I try to use flashfire to flash xposed, I've tried both the one here, and the newest v86. 85 worked until I used the tweak patch but the phone was jerky and laggy. After flashing it I get a black screen with the status bar for a while, then a black screen followed by a soft-bootloop. It'll do this for hours, though sometimes if I mess with the buttons enough I can get to the lockscreen. What I'd like to do now is somehow backup my folder structure, then Full ODIN and try again, or figure out what I or the flash'ed things are doing wrong.

Even with the new logcat command :"adb logcat *:E > errors.txt" it just says waiting for device. and the txt document is blank.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
First: you can't Odin flash any stock images from my guide: they're Verizon only. Second: try ADB and rename or delete the file /data/s7startup/master.sh and see if your phone breaks out of the bootloop. If so, I'd like to work with you in PM to find out why the script does that (it has bootloop protection).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Sakuryu:
I know, I'm using the T-Mobile Stock PG1 images. what's the command to rename or delete the file? I don't use Adb alot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
If you don't have access to ADB, then USB debugging may have been disabled -- in which case, there's nothing I can do for you. Sounds like you followed a different root guide and then came here for the flashable zip. You'll have to flash back to your phone's stock image using Odin and then re-root (I'd recommend my guide in the main post and pay special attention to all of the root steps so you have access to USB debugging, secure boot off, etc.).

I don't have your phone's stock images here in this thread, sorry, only Verizon stock images.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
You said ADB is waiting for device, so if you can't connect for logcat, you won't be able to connect for any other ADB command. But for the sake of answering your question, it would be adb shell mv /data/s7startup/master.sh /data/s7startup/master.sh.disabled to rename it to master.sh.disabled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Sakuryu:
Your guide's exactly the same as the one I followed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Then the fact that you don't have ADB connectivity is extraordinarily alarming. At either rate, you don't have many options -- feels like you need to start fresh from stock and take your time rooting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] downhillvinnie:
Let me know if I can help, it would be nice to not have to worry about it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ezwalker63:
I think your issue was Lucky Patcher. Everything was fine on mine until I enabled the Lucky Patcher module in Xposed and it totally jacked up my phone with reboots. After I was finally able to delete it (Lucky Patcher), everything was fine again.

EZ
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Sakuryu:
I'll try it and see, if it's the issue I'll contact them because I love Lucky Patcher.

I flashed the fixes v14 but i don't think it worked because right after boot it still said searching for service.. So I flashed v15 and it still is saying that. Any help? I have a verizon s7 edge.
