How do I know which firmware I use?

Developer option is On and I have rooted. Is there something else?

I have downloaded Flashfire and transfered the Zip-file to the phone and when I flash nothing happens after reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] add144:
Go to About Phone and look at the end of the characters under Baseband, does it end in PI3?

The "fixes" don't "do" anything that you can immediately see. It's backend stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] obamaforever:
Hmm under Baseband it is written: G930FXU1BPJJ

Androd version is 6.01

Still dont know what to do. I am in root but dont know how to use the scripts to remove all bloatware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] khaos4ng31:
My phone: SM-G930T (Samsung galaxy s7), running MM firmware that I got from some post above, you can search for it by looking up PK1. Making this post after my screen got stuck at the TMobile logo after a reboot and I had to unroot and reroot using a different computer

For anyone that is still having trouble with cmd.exe / command prompt / cmd recognizing adb ('adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file), here is what I did to fix it:

After installing adb system-wide, open up command prompt again and type:

echo %PATH%

Make sure the end of the path points to something like ./local/Android/android-sdk/platform-tools, as this is where adb is installed. if not, make sure you add it to the path by rightclicking on My Computer and selecting options, then click on Advanced System settings on the left side > advanced tab > environment variables

then edit path and either add your path (should be something like C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools).

In my case, there was a rogue space added between this path and the path before it, so make sure there are absolutely no spaces between the paths, example : path;path, NOT path ;path or path; path

------

Some other tips I discovered after I got stuck/frozen TMobile screen:

-disable security policy updates (look for it in the lock screen/security settings)

-when installing xposed, don't forget to wipe your dalvik cache... or you'll end up having to do the whole thing again if you dont have proper recovery installed...

-make backups to avoid having to unroot/reroot your phone... again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] obamaforever:
I have triad man Times now and I dont know why i doesnt work.

I have rooted but when I try to install Xposed Installer it says "Failed to mount" during Flash.

Why?

I dont have Verizon since I am not living in USA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Charlie R.:
The /system mount point must be mounted read-write during the xposed flash (it is normally mounted read-only).

There is an option for this when specifying the zip flash. You must also erase various caches for a successful install.

Did you do this?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Araltd:
Many thanks for the updated information clearly laid out. I personally am running Nougat, and I never rooted my S7E on MM - but I sincerely appreciate others taking the time to help everyone! I felt compelled to post that.. so thanks to you (and thanks have been given btw):good:

Now all I can personally hope is someone finds a rooting method for the S7E (G935T) and Nougat (FINGERS CROSSED) but if not - So be it.:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] TheMaj3stic1:
Thanks for the method! It worked nicely! I just have one issue. After i rooted my phone, it can no longer mount to my computer, or any other computer either. I use the same usb as before and yes, I have turned off USB debugging. When I connect to the computer, the computer does not even notice that it is connected unless I turn USB debugging ON and then it will appear under "Safely remove device" but I cannot do anything else. How do I fix this problem?

PS: Before, USB options will appear on the notification area on my phone but it no longer does. It just says charging, with no USB options under it anymore.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] obamaforever:
Well , I unchecked everything except "dalvik cache" and "cache partition" under WIPE.

First I connected the phone to the computer and transfered the Xposed zip file, just as it is in the link in the first page, and then I added the file in Flas ZIP or OTA.

First the zip and then the dalvik etc.....

The I checked "Mount /system read/write" when adding the zip file.

Still wrong

It says cant mount proc..... etc etc

Where can you find "security policy updates" on PL6. Its not in the same location as PE1.

I'm on PL6 rooted with everything working. But I had the 7 day soft brick happen the other day, which is eliminated by disabling securitylogagent and security policy updates

sent from my Wicked S4/S6 hybrid
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Charlie R.:
The sequence should be:

Add zip

Check only for /system read-write

Add wipe

Select ONLY dalvik and cache

Begin flash

Did you follow this sequence?

Also - these files are best stored on an external sd-card. Using internal storage can brick you when applying stang or echoe.

Followup questions:

Did you flash the v15 fixes FIRST? You should have used the generic version that does not mention "bloat" in the filename.

Did you see a red title bar during your flash(es) with confirmation messages?

Root with nougat

HEY everyone! I am loving root on my GS7... However I have 2 questions. First off, do I need to unroot prior to receiving the nougat ota update? Secondly, is there a way to reroot once I have nougat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Too receive ota updates you need to be unrooted on stock firmware. That said, if you update to Nougat you will not be able to root.....although I've been out of touch for a couple days, but still don't think Nougat has been exploited yet.

---------- Post added at 02:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

If you still not find then check settings/lockscreen&security/other security settings/ security policy updates

You can also use titanium backup and freeze Securitylogagent as well as a couple other security update settings.

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------

If you read the op and use the search function in the thread and xda, you will find all the info you need to fix your phone yourself. If you still feel like paying someone after, then check the ops that helped the most for a payment method.

Otherwise, check updato.com or sammobile.com or xda or theandroidsoul.com for your current firmware version by bootloader revision, make sure you don't get Nougat, and download it to your computer. Then, using odin 3.12 or 3.12.3, put the four files, included in the firmware zip, into the corresponding slots in odin and basically follow same steps in OP for the return to stock instructions, but using your newly acquired firmware instead of anything linked in the op.

Post back if you still need help.

---------- Post added at 03:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

If your using firmware linked-to in the op then that would most likely be the problem. I just posted a big READ ME type infomercial about this exact same issue.....but I'll repeat again anyway.

The firmware linked in the OP will not work any longer. Samsung phones are not allowed to roll back firmware revisions. So you will need to locate your current firmware or newer (Nougat will not work), and use odin 3.12 or 3.12.3 to return to stock.

You can check updato.com or sammobile.com or xda or theandroidsoul.com for firmware downloads. NOTE: do not use Nougat to return to stock because no root solution is available for the update......at least that I'm aware of at the time of this posting. Plus once on Nougat there's no going back to MM.

Unroot using flash fire

Can you use flash fire to unroot the galaxy s7?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
If still working this out then try this. Phone should have usb debugging turned ON and then usb configuration located in the same settings/developer options/ needs to be set to mtp or ptp......and not set to charging.

---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 PM ----------

Not that I know of, but you could return to stock in the phones recovery (volume up, power button, and home button at same time), which will leave phone unrooted, but phone will still be on the engboot kernel and not completely stock. Someone above my pay grade may know more though.

"Cant find /system in proc/mounts" when flashing it says.

Every other package is successful when flashing but this is totaly failed.

Do you know why?

And also the package "DeepDebloat" doesnt seems to do anything. It is a success but I cant see any difference.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Phil1988:
I cannot get it working on my Galaxy S7 SM-GM930

First I installed Samsung USB device drivers and ADB (system-wide).

After that I starded the cmd and entered "adb wait-for-device".

I get:

* daemon not running. staring it now on port 5037 *

* daemon starded successfully *

As I am coming from nougat I flashed the original stock firmware 6.0.1 G930FXXU1BPLB via Odin3_v3.12_PrinceComsy.

After that I am trying to flash the "Samsung_G930x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR" (engeneer rooted boot image) but I am always getting the same error (in the attachments).

Just to make I clear: I already flashed the stock firmware using this odin version.

What is the problem here?

On my phone I can see "Custom Binary(BOOT) Blocked By FRP Lock"

EDIT:

I tried another thing:

I disabled the OEM protection in the developer options.

Afther that I was able to flash the "Samsung_G930x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR" but I get a not so nice looking message at the phone (see attachments).

I'm also stuck at this message as I can not go to the download mode and get an error "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing".

What is this and what should I do now?

EDIT2:

I was able to set the phone back to download mode (normally VolumeDown + HomeButton + ON/OFF did NOT work, so I had to press ALL BUTTONS - inluding VolumeUP and then release the VolumeUP Button on restart).

I was able to flash the original stock firmware fom samsung.

NOW I CAN SEE THAT KNOX IS TRIGGERED!!!!!

GREAT!

Thanks a lot to this awesome guide, triggering my knox.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Is this a joke? I know I've been out with a cold for the last few days and might be a little behind on root......but you got to be joking when you think this exploit works on Nougat. It's even been mentioned in posts over the last week or so that DO NOT USE ON NOUGAT. So yes, we all understand the op is a bit outdated, but no where in the OP does it even state this exploit works on Nougat. Sorry about your knox too, but as long as you got the stock firmware loaded back on, you should be okay, not the end of the world.

For S7 Exynos model G930F you can try using CF Root from here:

Don't think it's gonna work with Nougat though, so just downgrade to MM 6.0.1 first.

Constant crashes plague my sm-g930r4. My S7 is particularly prone right after a reboot - seems that any activity in the first few minutes will crash it again.

The sm-g930r4 only has 3GB of ram. Does this impact the fixes? Most S7s have 4GB.

If you hate TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project), then load CWM (ClockWork Mod) instead, assuming that a recent version exists that is compatible with what you are loading.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] TheMaj3stic1:
Okay guys, I have a question. I cannot find the answer anywhere... So I know on Samsung devices, there is a knox counter that is used to void your warranty if you modify your system in any way. I know that when you flash the fix+debloater file, it removes knox.

So here is my question: If I were to reinstall the official firmware (which will wipe everything in internal storage, remove root, and reinstall knox), would the knox counter be set to 0, or would it still recognize that the system has been tampered with? I'm asking so I know a method to still keep my warranty. Thanks in advance

PS: I know this because I already had to flash the official firmware after putting myself in a bootloop. It reinstalled knox and everything. Although now, it is rerooted and knox is uninstalled once more.

---------- Post added at 06:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------

If you want a complete reset,

1) Go to sammobile.com.

2) Create an account

3) Go to the firmware tab and type in the search bar your exact model number.

4) Select which version of the firmware you want (It is recommended you download the version with the same basebrand version number, but you can technically use any of them, even the more updated one)

5) Click free download and it will take several hours since it limits bandwidth for free accounts

6) After it downloads, go to your Odin and load only the AP file and then flash it to your phone (using download mode of course)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] billa:
Once the Knox flag is tripped, there's no known way to reset it in the field (possibly Samsung can).

So just because the Fix+Debloater removes the Knox components, it still shows being tripped when you go into download mode.

I wouldn't worry about it, we tinkerers just have to live with it. ;)

How do I ensure that my bootloader is unlocked?

I am rooted according to "root check". I dont like TWRP beacause I have to start all over again beacause all bloatware gets back. When I wipe Dalvik cache and partition cache in TWRP the system starts as I am starting the phone for the first time.

If you're on Exynos and you flashed TWRP, you're unlocked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Charlie R.:
Tools exist that can manipulate the Knox counter. I do not know if they are compatible with the S7.

https://xdaforums.com/android/general/disable-knox-reset-knox-counter-to-0x0-t3414890

However, Samsung installs a large set of Security reporting programs (as we have all seen from the nagging alerts).

My guess is that your Knox binaries have already reported your IMEI's tripped status to Samsung.

So I wanted to update to Nougat and removed root/flashed back to stock. Everything looks fine- all of the kernel, build, and baseband info match my other S7 Edge (Tmobile), and I no longer get the lock symbol/splash screen. Everything looks stock again....But when I download the Nougat update, it downloads, processes the update file, reboots, goes into recovery booting, then installing system update.. with spinning android guy- then hangs right at 32% and then some T-Mobile icon flashes and says something followed by "Update Failed". This last message flashes very quickly....then the phone reboots to the old version. Any ideas? I have not signed in to my Google or Samsung accounts and wouldn't expect that I would need to. I just reverted to stock an went straight to the update. I have also wiped cache and factory reset, and tried a second time with the same error.

I have a verizon galaxy s7, rooted and put on stang, didn't like it at all, so laggy, horrific battery life, didn't really debloat everything (so much was running still in the background) oddly enough it seemingly added more stuff I didnt want and the customization was... underwhelming in an overwhelming way. Caused me to download themes from samsung and nova launcher anyways, because I didnt want my phone looking like it was dunked in microsoft paint from all this trial and error customization in stang. Surely I did something wrong there, but at this point, this process is NOTHING like my nexus 6 or nexus galaxy or droid1 before it. It's been an insane pain for me. I guess I have just accept I can't have a clean smooth stock android experience with that galaxy camera.

Anyways, here I am with a phone that is not working. Tried to go back to "stock?" through odin from the OP files for the verizon s7 flat. but I keep failing at odin. started trying to read all of this thread with my ignorant brain and realized it was outdated with firmwares, so I downloaded PE1 instead. But it's still failing. Wont let me attempt to install anything from recovery either (still have roms on my sd card).

I promise I've tried my hardest to research all this but my brain is hurting now and my frustration has risen.

edit: that was definitely it, I was given a mislabeled link for pi3 that was indeed pe. Didnt notice in the numbers. Odin is doing something so thats a good sign.

back to my original paragraph though, any input on if I were to take another stab at this again, the ideal way to just have as close a nexus experience as possible? my nexus 6 runs so damn smooth but the camera is just mediocre in comparison to the s7 (and I dropped it the other day prompting me to do all of this).
