I'm looking to switch to Verizon after the announcement of the unlimited deal. Time to leave my ole regional carrier. Anyone here purchased a S7 recently? I'm curious if they're shipping with Marshmallow or Nougat. Hoping to avoid Nougat until a root method is squared away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Try doing v15fix for any samsung galaxy s7 after root.bat......do not debloat at all ever. Just leave like that and see what happens for week. Tmo is one of the trickier ones that reported posts seem to indicate. Also is the phone on latest updates fully for firmwares and apps, then odin the boot kernel and root.bat then v15fix. That's all I got, sorry.

Actually one more thing.....Do you have security policy updates set to auto update? It's in settings/ lock screen and security / Other security settings/security policy updates.......make sure set to off. That's the other setting I couldn't remember yesterday in the car. I don't know if it matters but it could be what updates every sunday and hoses things up???

No, you are not the only person to have this exact issue with the T-Mobile G930T.

I accidently flashed the CSC in Odin which wiped data ??. Just flashing HOME_CSC didn't allow the device to boot up.

I flashed the AP file and that unrooted the device BUT it boots up. My security update was on (by default) too. I wonder in Samsung has now patched PK1 along with SuperSU 2.76 and it's binary. I'm not close to being a developer....It's just my thought of this issues we are having.

Rooted SM-G930T

Thanks a lot, I didnt know that it was a leaked engeneer kernel.

As I am now on Nougat, where can I find the latest Stock Marshmallow (with no branding "DBT") for my european/german SM-G930F ?

I can here only find branded firmwares for germany from T-Mobile, Vodafone, O2 and 1&1.

As downgrade is not supported via android itself I need to go via Odin now to flash MM first.

Thanks a lot guys!

#superSU

Installed the root image and everything has been working great for about a week now. When I installed the .76 version of superSU I never got a message saying the binary needs to be updated, so didn't think about it too much.

But just today, there were a few apps that needed to be updated and updated them via Playstore. After that, I got the message "SuperSU's Binary needs to be updated" and canceled it, but it continued to show up on the notifications. Ended up doing a notification clear and that got rid of it for now.

Do we still not update SuperSU? I know the latest on playstore is .79 but I don't want to mess things up. Should I continue to cancel/clear the notifications or update the binary?

And thank you so much for this guide and all the files and work you put into this one. I am loving being rooted on my AT&T S7 Edge.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Djmcknasty:
So, I followed the guide perfectly had no trouble with anything at all. After the root was complete I noticed my device was hella slow. So, I used the debloater. Still slow, So I went and used the Fix v15. Still slow. So, I said screw it I'll just unroot it. Followed all the unrooting instructions and now its bricked. Odin fails every time to push the AP. I've tried 3 different firmwares and none of them have made a difference. Odin always fails. Can provide pictures if necessary.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Krog18:
Yes it still works, however when you get to the part that says recommended next steps you must flash the correct v15 fixes because the others won't take on the newer firmware and you'll run into lag and eventually bootloop. Flash the v15 fixes for 'any' s7/s7e. Not Verizon PE1 and not the debloater.

In Call - Screen dims and turns Off

Greetings,

Thank you for the great post. I have a S7 G930T that I was able to root with this guide. Everything installed and worked great. Have a strange problem while making calls. While In-Call, my screen immediately dims and then 10 seconds later will turn off. The only way to wake-up is with the home button. I have searched everything I could find on-line and adjusted all of the display, battery, and security settings. I also tried all of the proximity sensor fixes with no luck. I even installed Xposed and tried to disable the proximity sensors with no luck. While attempting to access proximity sensors, I also discovered my phone does not respond to *#0*#. I get an "Unable to process Request"

Anyone with rooted S7 having the same issues or any ideas on fixes?

Thanks,

-Todd
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Krog18:
The only suggestion I have is to use odin to flash the stock firmware and start fresh. If it's a software issue that would certainly fix it.

A note on using odin, you cannot rollback firmware versions so you need to find the version your bootloader is on or newer. If you're on PK1 (which you probably are) use the link I provided a few posts up and don't flash the bl file.

Do I need to do the recommended next steps if all I am doing is freezing an app?

From The OPWhat's special with the Verizon-only files? We flash a patched /system/framework/framework-res.apk that bypasses Verizon's Wi-Fi hotspot tethering provisioning. This is only compatible with the PE1 firmware and only for Verizon What affect will this have on FoxFi. Will I have any troubles if i don't use the verizon specific one?

So from what i understand everything in the OP is correct other than the need to get the correct v15 in "Next Steps". All of the files in the OP are the current updated files needed? The firmware discussion in the thread above is for flashing ROM's which is not something i plan to do. Is that correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Pretty much. You'll want to use the v15 fix that is for 'any samsung galaxy s7' , don't use any carrier specific v15 fix versions. You will also need to locate and download the proper firmware revision for your phone. The firmware in the OP is outdated and no longer usable. You will need to find same or newer firmware that you currently have on your phone based on bootloader revision.....probably the latest available before Nougat. If you load Nougat then root will no longer be viable option and you can't downgrade firmware and roll back to previous version. Check back a few posts to see where Krog18 posted links to latest firmware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Rageboardr:
By firmware in the OP... are you referring to the boot.tar file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Krog18:
Yes, you still need to do the recommended next steps regardless of what you plan to do with root. The eng kernel that you'll flash with odin requires the v15 fixes otherwise you'll get bad lag, heat, rapid battery drain, more issues and eventually bootloop in about a weeks time.

The quote you posted for the fixes, if you read, says that one is specifically for Verizon -->PE1<-- firmware. If you're just now rooting, you're likely on PI3 so you don't use that one. If you can use foxfi on PI3 now, you'll still be able to use it after root/fixes. Use the fixes for any s7/s7e non debloater.

99% of the discussion above is for people trying to unroot/return to stock. The links in the OP for this process are outdated and people are soft bricking because of this. If/when you decide to unroot, you'll need to find your firmware version (or newer) and odin that instead of the PE1 firmware linked in the OP. Your version (probably PI3) can be found at www.updato.com and it wouldn't hurt to download it now and keep it on hand just in case you happen to run into issues along the way.

Yeah the OP could definetly use a rewrite but a lot of issues could be mitigated with just a little more reading.

The two main problems users run into:

1- Flashing wrong v15 fix file or flashing the v15 debloat.

2- Trying to return to stock with the firmware linked in the OP.

Those two issues alone have been beaten to death and run over with an 18 wheeler throughout this thread yet keep getting asked over and over.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Charlie R.:
I have an sm-g930r4 for U.S. Cellular (a regional CDMA carrier). I'm hoping to get this phone to an AT&T mvno. Loading stang would be really nice.

I have a few observations about the rooting process, after several reloads of stock due to instability...

The flashfire loads must present a screen with a red title bar and some words of confirmation if they have applied correctly. This commonly does not happen. I do hope the fixes and xposed can be flashed repeatedly.

The fixes did not take if the WiFi passwords are not retained across reboots. I have seen the phone crash after "unmounting filesystems" never showing "success" on the red title bar page for the fixes.

I do wish that the debloat fixes would be removed from the instructions.

Attempting to apply stang5litre never gets to any success message on this model, and things get really unstable afterwards, forcing an Odin with stock.

I hope I can find stability for the sm-g930r4. This is a nice piece of hardware, and I hope to use it rooted.

In any case, do not attempt this root technique unless you have the 6.0.1 firmware for your phone, and you have no hesitation in loading it (I could rollback firmware on the g930r4). The guide should also explicitly state that no further OTAs can or should be applied.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] noiofnine:
I think this was my own fault for not checking to see if the phone had took the OTA and was on N before I tried this. I'm stuck on a boot loop now. Tried to odin flash three different version and I keep getting the same error message from odin - Fail Auth or Model Mismatch.

On the phones download screen says: SW REV CHECK FAIL: [ABORT] Fuse 4 > Binary 2

So thats why i think it needs a att sm930a nogut tar? Anyone have the full file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Charlie R.:
One way to silence these messages is to demote and remove the offending app with tools from F-Droid.

Load the F-Droid store, then find the busybox installer, load it, and execute it (it will ask for root privileges, which is expected). Then find and load the SystemAppMover on F-Droid and run it (which also asks for root).

Run the mover, enable system apps, and find "SecurityLogAgent." When you click and confirm, the app will be irreversibly destroyed, ending the warnings. You will need to reboot, and afterwards you will find it in your application menu, where you can uninstall it.

There are more flexible freeze apps on Play, and the F-Droid tools should only be used on apps that you have no intention to keep. The F-Droid tools are open-source, however, so they are more trustworthy than closed apps on Play.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] add144:
Are you on PI3 firmware? If so, you should've flashed only the fixes for all S7s zip, and not the debloater version. I don't know if running the debloater does any harm, or just doesn't do anything on PI3, one of the more knowledgeable folks can tell you that. But you can freeze or remove the bloat manually with various apps; Titanium Backup being the go to for backup as well.
