I keep having the reset problem. I have wiped everything, flashed of the pe1 firmware. Then I disable the 3 apps the security log agent and both the DM's. Even after a factory reset it just reboots after about 30 seconds to 1 minute. My status says secure download enable and secure boot enable. I have no lock screen security set. I have it set to none. any idea what I could be doing wrong? I have experience at rooting I even successfully rooted the Note 7 but for some odd reason this one is giving me problems I have followed all the procedures step-by-step over 10 times now. A couple of times it says my phone is rooted but I have no root access and I'm also unable to update the binary. I can't do a backup because I don't have root access. My next step is to try the PC5. But it seems like some people are having great success and some people are having none. Unfortunately I'm in the no success category. ADB and everything is set up properly. I have tried though recommended ADB short version and I also have the SDK installed and have tried this inside the platform tools still with the same results. I've had it so everything is activated and working but still no root and the DM Verty always fails. Everytime I go to recovery it tries to install some update and then fails. This time around I have disabled 5 applications hoping it will not even check for the software update. I'll repost if this works. does anybody have any suggestions besides different firmware?

Sounds like you didn't read the disclaimer where you're NOT suppose to have secure start up enabled.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] BfunnY6t9:
I have never enabled it... I never enable any type of lock and thats why i was asking how to turn it off......... or advise. i try to help people whenever i can. with out sarcasm. instead of assuming im stupid maybe you could assume that i dont know everything and maybe that im still learning as i go. I even posted a thread of how to get theme store access on the s5 because im trying to give back what i can in any way possible. By the way I can read and re-read the post several times as i usually do before i attempt modifications ANY REAL ADVICE? maybe it came that way idk. As i said previously i have no screen lock or security enabled i always disable it. I never set up fingerprint, pass code, or reactivation lock for that matter. I dont see any place to disable it. While i know some things i am not a master developer which is why i posted this in the first place. Im not sure how it even ended up enabled in the first place. So if anyone has info that could help me it would be greatly appreciated. Im also new to the S7 I previously had the note7 and s5. I do know quite a bit and have always been a flashaholic over the past few years. So i do have basic knowledge. But occasionally from time to time I do need advice and guidance. never had to deal with those being enabled before so its new territory to me. I learn as i go. Thanks in advance for anyone with "useful" knowledge.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
Well, under the Lock Screen and Security option you have a Secure Startup option. Did you trade in your phone for a refurbished phone? I'm sure it was new (hopefully). And if it was new then surely you must of set up this secure startup yourself if your phone is saying it has it enabled. You might want to check again.

Your zip... How do you expect to have ppl flash it... with flash fire? Because I also had the S5 and things aren't the same as much as I wish they were. Anyways, good luck to you as many people already have their s7's rooted without any of your issues. You might want to leave clearer instructions for you zip.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] BlackMeat420:
When I downgraded there was 5 files in the folder the one i wasn't sure to flash was the csc or csc home in the csc spot for odin.

Not home.

WOOHOO I swear if I bought a Samsung microwave id starve from having to hack and make it do what it was built to do in the first place. However thats of course if I can even get food into it with Samsung having full control over locking the door. Unless i use custom firmware but then the buttons stop working. Custom kernal but then it heats everything at 25%. Root and it burns my food to make me think i need them to help me work it at all times...as long as i upload my usage of course and it posts to all social media what i eat and when...but here i am with an S7 edge with some stupid hope that they would at least budge enough to root without massive issues. Sorry for the rant.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] BfunnY6t9:
Well from what I see the only thing you can Flash with his flash fire. I wouldn't know yet since I haven't gotten this dang thing rooted. But I also said you can use a file explorer app to change out the APNs. I just see a bunch of people here to saying they don't have the APNs for Sprint so I decided to post them. And I did check my lock settings. I have nothing set it is set to none. And when I click on enable secure startup it asked me to choose a method which I have not done. So I never set up any lock and I was sure that I didn't. I just got this phone 2 weeks ago and somehow I have secure startup enabled without actually setting it up. Is there any way to work around that? I never set up any of that secure bs for that reason. Is it possible they're sending them out now with it already enabled? I have no idea but nothing is enabled in security but secure startup is enabled

flashfire blackscreen

Hi im on the flashfire step does anyone know how long it usually takes, i know te post says it may take a "while" but thats so vague.

I flashed the fix zip included in the post and have been on a black screen for about 10-15 min, and i can pull the notifications menu down so my phone isnt off or anything, flashfire is just frozen
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
Sounds like something crashed.... It only takes about 30 seconds
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] cautioncrazy:
Any suggestions, i tried closing the app and flashing again. And if it should only take about 30 seconds then it crashed again. I'm really not sure what to do here, new to rooting, well rooting galaxies, i rooted an old android years ago but this is different. My phone is just very laggy after the root and im assuming the fix is for that

Edit: Restarted once more and it sucessfully flashed. Sat there like an idiot for 20 min waiting for the black screen, whoops newb alert xD
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
I'm assuming that you granted root access for flashfire. Try rebooting and try it again. Also did you root from a clean fresh rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] BlackMeat420:
Anyone install xposed with minimal problems(random reboots mostly)? I really need it :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
I did. I haven't had any problems. Did you start with a fresh install?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] BlackMeat420:
I just got done downgrading to PG1 and rooting, I had a kinda bad experience with xposed on my Note 5. Did u just follow the instructions on the first page?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
After rooting this device many times, I've found that everything works better from a fresh install.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] BlackMeat420:
Yes i did do a fresh install haven't ran into any problems so far :D, currently i'm waiting on my backup to finish that is at 99%.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
Might be one of your modules

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
Flashfire does everything twrp does, only it requires root
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] BlackMeat420:
Thx about to try it now :D

Edit: well it's optimizing apps and it only took 5 mins at the boot screen, probably the fastest I've seen while installing xposed.

Have you tried PH7? If you can't go back down to PH7 then your stuck on PJ2. Shouldn't of taken it to the store. Good luck and let us know if you're able to go back to PH7.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jkuhl27:
i cant odin any of the other firmwares. and now that i factory reset it i cant get it to activate. i do have my msl number though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] scrappy610:
Sounds like a revision lock. If so means your stuck on that firmware with no option to root. I'd try to return it. Especially if you can't get any firmware to flash, no sense having a paperweight.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jkuhl27:
my phone i just got my replacement. it came with the update already on it. it took the root and had data. but i couldnt make or receive texts. i factory reset it and now have no data. my data profile is showing up as my emei number.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] scrappy610:
Not sure how to suggest a fix for that. Is the eng kernel still on there? Maybe try pushing su again and go back through the steps?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jkuhl27:
i factory reset my phone and everything. have data but still no text or talk. do you know how to work around a revision lock?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
BEWARE.....YOU SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO ROOT OR FLASH THE U FIRMWARE IF YOU ARE ON PJ2!!!

For all you guys that are stuck on PJ2, you should not attempt to root and you cannot flash the U firmware. At this time it's pretty much a soft brick until the PJ2 firmware is released. Or you can try to take it into the store. I highly recommend to anyone who wants to root, to not take any update until you know what's in it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
All may not be lost. Sounds like you need to do method B manual activation if you followed the steps correctly.

Tether/Hotspot

Did take a little bit to get everything to stick, but no more trouble than anyone else has been having... However, there are no settings for 'Tethering and Hotspot" any longer. I down Quick Shortcut Maker from the PlayStore and make a shortcut to the settings, but the it's blank. The title shows at the top, but below that it's just a blank screen. I understand this is going to have issues, just wanted to check and see if anyone else is getting the same thing. Hopefully I just did something wrong somewhere . I've disabled those 2 DM apps and misc things like Facebook, Instgram, Milk, but no system apps so i'm not sure what i did wrong, or even if i did and maybe it's disabled in that ENG Bootloader?

Anyway, i'd love to know if anyone has any thoughts on this.

Huge thanks to all involved getting this to work as good as it is already.

Thank you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] izzibew26:
It's active for me. Hotspot and tethering works off the dropdown.I'm on pc5 if that helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
Hmmm, maybe I messed up somewhere...I'm on PE1. It was there before all this so I'm not really sure what happened. If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears. I tried adding "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" at the end of build.prop (without the quotes) and no luck, so if anyone else has any ideas or thoughts as to why?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] izzibew26:
I'm assuming you have successfully activated the phone. You can check through settings-about device-status. Your phone number is listed under sim info. Just to be sure..... Can always flash pe1 again, disable only the 3 main apps after activation, then flash n root. My 3 cents. Or head back to earlier firmware.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
Yeah I sure did, I double checked just in case. Don't happen to have a link to the firmwares handy do you? That will be last Ditch effort, but that may be what I'll end up doing.

I think the same thing happened to me with the APN settings. I have hotspot again, but there are a few APNs that don't support data. Not the usual ones, but can't remember the names right now (already reflashed PC5) I don't mind entering them all in manually, but I can't seem to find a complete list anywhere.

I lost all the APNs somewhere between flashing ENG img, and flashing SU. Ah well, i'll give it another shot.

I've followed the directions to unroot my phone, honestly its not a big deal for me, the only reason i wanted to root my phone was to use my dualshock 4 but i cant anyways.

So now im trying to unroot it but in the odin program ive loaded the AP, CP, and CSC files it said to use in the guide but that doesnt work. It's stuck saying setupconnection.

I'm not receiving phone calls so thats why i want to unroot but nothing is working.

It ended with PE1 but i switched to PJ2 and it seems to be working will update on progress, it seems it totally reset my phone but as long as i can call im okay with it

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] arod1204:
i need help. So i followed the instructions until i had to use the root.bat from superSU. After the reset, the phone would stay on the LTE screen, so i cleared the cache and cleared the memory, but when i went to buildProp editor it would always crash. So i went to SuperSU and it says the binary needs an update, but when i try to install from the app it always fails. And now every time i reboot i have to clear all the data and cache and my data wont work so i cant make/receive calls. So because none of this worked i tried to flash the original stock with odin and the files from the liked thread in the faq. When i loaded the BL, AP, CP, and tried both the CSC and HOME_CSC it always fails. I have also tried using samsung smart switch and kies 3 and tried the software recovery, it askes for my model number and an SN or IMEI. But when i type my model # (SM-G935P) it only askes for a SN# but i cant find anything like that other than the IMEI(which i tried). Ive checked everywhere for it and cant find any SN#. So in the end i need help in ether fixing the root or to return to stock. At this point either one is fine. My model is SM-G935P from sprint.
