Hey, i took the new October PH1 update on the Verizon S7 Edge, I don't like it and prefer PE1. Anyone know how to get back to PE1? I've tried the link and mirror and both Fail pretty fast, had to use Verison Software Repair Assistant to get back up and running. Before i was on a previous version that let me odin back to PE1 with no problems at all. Any help getting back would be GREAT! :) thanks :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
PH1 may not be reversible. Also make sure you use the correct Odin. But probably not reversible....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] lvpre:
You can reverse it, but you need the pit file to do so. It should be floating around here somewhere

I went from PH7 back to PE2 on my Sprint using the OP's method of back to stock. PE2 is rooted with xposed and running very well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] FoxyDrew:
Maybe I'm doing something wrong then. Echoe seemed to be the best for me, still far from the stability big stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
I'm on PH1 g930a AT&T though and it runs great with the engboot and root from Princecomsy and just the v15 fix from here. I froze a couple things and stopped updates here and there and I've had no problems whatsoever. My battery may be just a tad bit touchy, but I get all the time I need throughout the day and everything else seems fast as can be.

It must be carrier dependant that causes all the problems.

No, but there is a thread started for those variants somewhere here on xda.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] snovvman:
I used the 930A w/ ATT for some time--was on PH1, then PE1, I observed no undesirable effects. With either ROM, when I start to notice a lag, I wiped cache and dalvik, and it seemed to recover.

PrinceComsy doesn't work, didn't try 3.12.3. I'll try redownloading, no fingerprint. But it might be the firmware I'm trying to flash being incompatible with the latest T-Mobile version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Yeah, you need to make sure you have the proper firmware that's for your phone. I thought you had that covered though. Double check that your downloads aren't spoiled and give that 3.12.3 a try. I think I remember reading someone usage and rfor a return to stock operation that worked......just can't remember which phone, which update, etc......
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Pseudomimic:
When I was trying to get mine rooted and stable I had to flash to stock several times and each time I had to use the Original version of Odin to flash stock and the Princecomsy version while trying to root. That was on the 930A using PH1 firmware
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Yeah I think the at&t variant is a bit more forgiving than some of the others......luckily for me too.

Sprint Variant

I am trying to flash back to root for the G930P and no matter what I try i cannot get odin to flash properly. It always fails. I try to use the original odin and it will not load. The princecom fails. I have tried the new 3.12.13 version of Odin and that fails as well. I am stuck in a bootloop where it loads directly into recovery.

930v help

This version does not work on the Verizon model. It's absolutely messed up my phone completely. I don't know if I'm posting this in the right area but is there a section on this site where we can pay someone to help us? Has anyone used one root? Is it legit? All I know is I followed the instructions exactly is listed downloaded the files exactly as listed to achieve root and my phone is totally messed up and I need it fixed and want it rooted and everything that's posted here does not work for Verizon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] nu2droid:
This does indeed work with the Verizon S7E. I used this method with my new device. It took just a few minutes to do, and for me it was flawless. It was a little buggy and laggy at first. I changed the kernel to on-demand, and waited a day or so. It remained buggy so I changed it back to interactive. Rebooted and it worked fine.

Now I am running the Echoe Rom and it has been great. I get 15+ hours on battery with a good bit of use, no lag and no random reboots.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] bogedy:
heya! im on a verizon s7 running PH1. all i did was root, then did some of the manual tweaks. does the script work with ph1?

i have service but the notification shows an empty icon until i make a phone call after every reboot.

the phone is acting much slower. the phone take a few minutes after reboot to start working. a black screen where i can make the power menu come up. then everything is much more sluggish.

any help or advice?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Krog18:
You can flash the v15 fixes on vzw ph1. Just make sure you flash the one for any s7/s7e as the Verizon one is intended for pe1 fw.

Another option is to flash a custom rom with all the fixes built in. Personally I like Stang5litre's rom, but echoe is another option. They will work with ph1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
You're gonna need to give a little more info if you expect some help. As you can see by the replies... this does work on the Verizon variant. So once you supply all the pertinent information you'll get much better and more directed help.

Im halfway done guys but I have question, I had to leave so the last step I did was successfully flashing eng boot file through ODIN.

IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN PROCEES TO ROOT/INSTALL SUPERSU WITHOUT A PC/cmd?

Thank you I appreciate your help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] bogedy:
dont know how i did it, but i think i really bricked my phone. im running ph1. i tried to follow the reset to stock instructions to go to pe1 but odin returns a write error. i read that ph1 has a new bootloader making this impossible. but now my phone only boots into either recovery or download mode. a normal bot will just go into the last used one. how do i get my phone to boot? can i reflash the ph1 firmware over odin? where do i find this firmware?

please help, my phone is bricked!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Krog18:
Your phone is not bricked. You just need the ph1 firmware to odin. Pe1 is a downgrade and will fail in odin. I downloaded ph1 firmware from updato.com
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] bogedy:

Hey pal, is there any way to install SuperSU via phone/flash under Qualcomm variant??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Krog18:
Sorry, if there's a workaround to the adb method I'm not aware of it. You'll probably have to wait till you're connected to the pc. It only takes a minute to run the root.bat once connected.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] cmw787:
More info

My posts were not out there to offend anybody I apologize it's my frustration. What I did was follow the instructions as listed step by step my phone appeared to root then it got stuck in boot loop. I had to end up factory resetting it and now it is buggy all over the place and has a constant security warning saying that the security has been tampered with. I can figure something out by detailed instructions but I'm clearly no tech genius by any means. Basically I was wondering if there's a way that works consistently that I can try again or if anyone knows of a service where you can pay to just have someone that knows what they're doing root your phone because as of now mine's barely functional.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Krog18:
What firmware version are you on? Just a factory reset won't unroot you and get you a stock phone back. You need to follow the unroot instructions in the original post and use odin to restore back to stock. Only thing you should do differently from what the op says is to download the same firmware you're currently on, not the pe1 (unless that's what you're on). Then you can try to root again.

Not sure why you would've gotten stuck in a bootloop when rooting unless you downloaded the wrong eng kernel for your device. This method works if you do it right. Double check everything and try again. We're all here to help each other.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] thatexan:

Does anyone know if anyone has unlocked the native hotspot tether? If so I'm going to root and try this phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] cmw787:
Thank you I appreciate your help I know I didn't unroot it but I just had to get something to get me back in my phone. So do I have to go through the unroot process before I try to root it again? Is there any possibility you can just point me to the links that will take me to the proper rooting version with the proper files as well as the unrooting portion if I need to do that? Firmware Mmb29m. G930vvrs4pH 1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Krog18:
If your phone is unstable as it is, I would unroot following the process in the op, but instead of using the pe1 fw, download and extract ph1 fw. It's simple with odin. You can find the ph1 fw at sammobile.com or updato.com

Then try to root again following the instructions in the op exactly. When you get to the part where you flash the v15 fix via flashfire, make sure you flash the one for "any" s7.

Hope this helps. Any questions just ask. This is currently the only way to root the US s7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] cmw787:
I forgot

OK.. I know I forgot to mention something before. First of all the instructions I had didn't mention flash fire at all but more importantly, I can't use flash fire. When I downloaded it it says you have to have a rooted phone to use it it won't allow me to proceed otherwise . Am I totally being stupid? Are you referencing something different that I don't know about? Sorry for my ignorance really and I do appreciate the help .

Is there such thing as remotely rooting?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Krog18:
Yes, flashfire requires superuser access.

1. Use odin to install the ph1 firmware as I suggested. That will put you back to a clean stock phone.

2. Follow the rooting process in the original post of this thread.

3. Follow the recommended next steps, (also found in the original post) suggesting to download flashfire to flash the v15 fix for any s7.

I'd love to say sure send me your phone and I'll do all this for you, but I feel very strongly that you need to learn this process for yourself. That way if at any point you screw something up (happens to the best of us) you can simply repeat the steps I listed above and you're good to go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Something else to mention......make sure you are getting the correct firmware for your phone....it has to be g930v....ph1, not g930a or any other variant.....although the g930u might work too, but save that for another day. Also in the OP they don't mention using the BL part of the firmware in Odin. Some variants use it though, so not sure if Verizon is one of them??? Maybe Krog18 or someone can help out on this. Even though the OP is pretty specific it does leave out some details if you've never rooted or done this sort of thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] cmw787:
Holy crap I am rooted

Thank you to everyone who helped me...it friggin worked! just have one remaining question I was told to flash the S7 fix for all models via Flashfire but there is one specially made for the Verizon pe1 model and that's what I have so should I use that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Krog18:
Glad it worked! You said you were on the ph1 firmware not pe1. Ph1 use the one for "any s7"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] cmw787:
what about the security warning

The security warning is still ever present. Is that what everyone refers to as "tripping knox"? Is it fixable?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Krog18:
No, Knox shouldn't have been tripped by any of this.

When you flash the correct v15 fix the security warnings should go away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
So were you able to go back to pe1 or were you originally on pe1 and went to ph1 and still on ph1 or what? I'm just trying to follow along as like others who might need the same help. Plus did you use all 4 files in Odin or just 3 like the OP instructs?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Krog18:
I think he mixed up the h for e by mistake. He originally told me he was on ph1 so I guided him on how to odin ph1 to fix his instability issues.

The bl file isn't necessary because that wouldn't change unless you're upgrading firmware. You cannot downgrade from ph1 unless you flash a custom rom (through flashfire) that is based on a previous version, but even if you do that, your bootloader will still remain ph1. Hope this makes sense and answers your questions...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] chrish9309:
Great guide everything was set up very nice, one question: Running PH1, rooted, will the PE1 files from the 1st page unlock my native tether? if not is there another way as Hotspot and titanium are my main purposes to root my phones, Thank You in advance

I tried it again. Except when running root.bat for the first time, it displayed like it went through and rebooted my phone, but nothing appeared. So I ran it again, and adb.exe crashed to which I clicked close. Then I ran it again, and it popped up cmd for a split second and closed. Frustrated, I ran root.bat as an admin and it sped through the list of commands and hung at "adb shell rm /data/su_old.img >NUL". So I just gave up and started looking up tutorials to see what I was doing wrong, leaving the cmd prompt up. Like 30 seconds later my phone reboots and I have SuperSU. :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Great work. Sounds like it was the admin rights that was the culprit. I'm still using an old win vista64 machine so admin rights are default. Don't forget v15 fix with flashfire.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] xDark_:
I've flashed the EchoeROM :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
That works too.....should have most if not all or even more of the v15 fixes built in. There's also the stang5litre rom that works excellent too. I think it depends on your phone variant which rom will behave more proper.

Looks like you've done everything right and have done plenty of troubleshooting so not sure why it's failing. One last suggestion I can offer is to try odin version 3.12.3 if you haven't already.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Did you or do you have secure startup or passworded or encrypted data etc because that can cause some problems from what I've read. Since you can't turn on the phone and make any real time changes I'm not sure what might be the remedy for you? Unless somehow you can get into the operator section and make some changes? Maybe someone more experienced might chime in. Otherwise, you certainly have done an awful lot to fix your problem so maybe only other fix might be to re-download everything and try again in case something was wrong with the initial downloads. Also make sure the new downloads are md5 verified and make sure all versions of Odin are retried and make sure that everything you do is documented so if someone else runs into the same problem this will be here to help. Sounds like a lot but look how much everyone on here does to develop and debug new things.

Try to odin the rooted boot.tar file again, but maybe use the other version of odin. If that doesn't work, you're gonna have to download the ph1 firmware and odin back to stock then try the process again.
