Can you please help me activate my sprint phone?

It's step 5 in post #2.

What exactly is going on?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] chadfranklin47:
I think that will fix it. Just have to reflash stock rom again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Eyezayah:
Phone pooped the bed last night. Went into a boot loop that didn't go away even after a factory reset. Trotted reflashing the engineering bootloader but it kept rebooting still and couldn't even get to the point where it asked me to activate the phone. Since then i decoded to just flash the G935U firmware and so far so good. Just waiting until someone gets root along with data for it. Probably stay unrooted until a more stable method comes out.

Don't lie. You didn't even read post 2. Post 2 has been updated forever and a day ago. Especially since FAQ #1 was the first one to be posted -_-

No I've been following the thread for 6 days now & just didn't see post 2 had been updated. My first post in this thread was on page 11 6 days ago. Right after I posted my second post in the thread which was on this page I noticed post 2 had been updated
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
Oi ?... it's actually kinda funny if think about how nuts that all sounds lol

That WiFi fix was posted at least 6 days ago. I didn't think it up on my own, that's for damn sure. Oh yeah, and it's pretty easy to confirm that since ya know... All the posts have time stamps lol

And all the posts on pg.11 were from 5 days ago. Even if you're in the furthest forward time zone, it's still the 10th right now. Bravo for math! And numbers!?

Are you on Sprint? If so, you may just double check your APN settings against those posted. I just guessing here, so take it with a grain of salt. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] phelony:
I need to get my msl from sprint to edit the settings i believe.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
You should be able to edit APNs without that. I was able to.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] phelony:
Well, I was screwing around with something and super su updated itself automatically on play store.

ANy way to roll it back?

i did i full backup in flash fire right before i installed xposed can i just restore that full backup?

*Edit*

dispite supersu updating it seems to still work. However it does still tell me i need to update binaries. Which I have not done.

Waiting till i get more info.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
I think the playstore update is okay, just don't update the binaries. Mine hasn't caused any issues so far.

If you have a backup, give it a shot. That's why you made it lol

Worst case, start from scratch. ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Prugor:

I followed the directions to the T. I cannot send or receive texts right now. Over all performance stutters. Please point me in the direction to download/flash completely back to stock. Thanks in advance.

great,but my phone is getting overheat after root,also I got a force close for play store then for wfc settings then I did reboot but my phone stuck on boot loop ,I did factory reset ,phone works again but it's overheating ,will the kernel Adiutor would help by changing CPU Governor to "interactive" instead of "performance"?

thanks for your help

Can you make phone calls?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Prugor:
It appears I am not activated. I'm redoing the activation again. Will update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] phelony:
after some tinkering i came to realize i was not fully activate despite lte working.

ro resolve this i re enabled the samsung services i had disabled. clicked activate. when it completed i tabbed out by pressing home button.

re disabled the services. then tabbed back in and clicked done. phone rebooted and viola!

I had voice and sms. I had assumed it was working before because lte was working and apn settings were correct.

seems to be working just phine now.

Thanks prugor for mention your voice calls were not working.

I so rarely make voice calls I never would have even noticed.

You could always just call voicemail. Easy check

It's ok. On another issue has anyone experienced huge battery drain issues after rooting their phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] xhaui:
Change kernel governor to ondemand or interactive using any of the various kernel tweakers from the play store.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] dhonzik:
If you try to update the binaries it will just fail on the install, so its impossible to screw up root that way. You can turn off the update binaries notification message in the Settings-Notifications by sliding off the one for SuperSU

I flashed the boot file but now im stuck at the white LTE plus screen and the phone is vibrating every few seconds. I have been holding the power button down and it is not resetting. Is there another way to reboot it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
Power + volume down
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] nwilmot1:
thanks. I rebooted and reflashed and I seemed to have messed something up. i no longer have the activate my phone or apn options in my settings menu. Can someone link me to the correct stock firmware for sprint so i can start over from scratch? Im guessing i didnt use the right file. thanks

I can't update my gear s2 or check for ota updates after root. Everything else works except for updating gear s2 via samsung gear manager & ota updates don't work either. But the later might be a given cause that happens to all android phones that get rooted. & my sleep tracking app on my gear s2 can't connect to its other half that's installed on my phone after root. & play store doesn't install apps properly either. I have to force close play store 3 times just to get 1 app updated or installed.

Not sure about the Gear issue. But you do not want an ota update! It wouldn't load anyways, because you modified your system partition.

For play store issue, try force close and wipe data.

Yeah, read the op and post 2.it deals with the package disabler. Make sure after you disable that your settings - about device - status lists your correct info, if it doesn't then activate disabled packages and activate phone again, then disable after reboot.

Any fix for the phone not registering to sprint carrier and disallowing bill to sprint via Google play? Also gets really hot, alot of battery loss, and lag. Exposed, kernel auditor, l speed, etc. No fix for me yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] 94tbird:
After flashing the eng boot, i got stuck at the lte plus more spectrum splash screen. I had to boot to recovery and wipe data factory reset. I no longer have package disabler working. It took me about an hour to get the phone working long enough to reinstallcit but now it wont activate the license for package disabler. So im stillcstuck with it losing the activation and random reboots
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] izzibew26:
Flash stock, let it set up, activate, go to playstore and download disabler and set it up. it won't disappear when you flash the eng boot.

---------- Post added at 12:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

As for bill to sprint, i'm not sure if you're having trouble using it or disabling it. I would check your sprint account and your google play account settings to make sure they're both set up for it properly. as for the carrier issue, i'm assuming you're referring to the samsung carrier label in the top left. there are a few build.prop and default.prop changes that will fix that, if you have another sprint phone the easiest way is to (after setting the files to rw permissions on s7) open up the files on both and look for comparable lines where one says chameleon and the old one says Sprint. also look for places where 310000 on the s7 is 310120 on the other phone. these line changes should allow you to put in your origional apn settings and the carrier will change back to sprint. I believe the carrier issue is cosmetic, but I guess it's a kinda placebo effect.......good luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] 94tbird:
Do you have a link to flash the stock?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] LeftyGR:
In this explanation, you mention changes that will allow sprint original apn settings to change back to sprint. I don't care if it says sprint or samsung. But if i make these changes and i reset apn settings, will all original sprint apns populate? And if so, which prop lines would i change from chameleon to sprint...or do i change all? Thanks.

Theres a few threads in this section.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] 94tbird:
I flashed the stock firmware, and now i no longer have activate device in my settings menu. How do I activate the phone now? it no longer comes up automatically either
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] LeftyGR:
You need to flash everything. BL, AP, CSC, and the other one that is not CSC_HOME.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] 94tbird:
I rebooted a few times, and it eventually attempted to activate the phone. looks like it activated. Should I try to reflash the eng boot now and root? or should i be doing something different?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] mhill1986:
As for the heat and battery, try flashing the generic fix/debloat script found in the Verizon s7 thread:

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy...es-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039/page39

I am no longer rooted, but this worked well for me when the fix/debloat script was on version 11 (it is at 13 now). For some reason,the debloating didn't work for me, but the kernel fixes appeared to do the trick.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] nwilmot1:
Apn overwrites

Hi guys. EverytIme i add the second apn and hit save it overwrites the first one. Then if I re-add the first one it overwrites the second one. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
Maybe make sure that it activated. Make a call, send a text, get off wifi and use the browser...

Then make sure you disable the previously mentioned apps, and then you can flash ENG boot.

You will have to manually enter the APNs if you see that you don't have service, then once you have service again, finally ADB the SU file, this has worked for me every single time. I've done it quite a few times because I keep going between this and the unlocked stock rom.

Good luck
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] izzibew26:
I don't think they populate, but if you change the props you can add the original apns without them disappearing. As for which lines to change I'd say if you don't want to go back to stock or don't have another sprint phone, try and borrow one for a few minutes. Use a terminal emulator, go to shell and use getprop. Then compare the lines side by side. If you have a computer available you can use adb to pull the files or type adb shell getprop and copy and paste it into a text editor for later use. I accidentally deleted mine or I'd post it. If anyone here is on stock firmware and can post it that'd be awesome. Tried to answer that as best I could. If you need more detail just pm me.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] mhill1986:
Actually, you can remove the "custom" boot screen with xtouchwiz (I can't remember the name of the setting, sorry). The best way I've found to fix battery and performance issues is to flash the fixes found in the Verizon s7 root guide. Just flash the generic, not the Verizon specific one.

Cool, let us know what you find. I'm on PC5 and no reboots. I'm about to go to bed but tomorrow's agenda includes a WiFi fix as it seems to forget WiFi credentials after a reboot and also a factory restore to get unrooted. I don't think a factory restore will be much of a hassle and will seem to alleviate any tension for ppl wanting to try this out.

Thanks to everyone for their feedback. Most if not all of this is getting back to the actual developers on this so they're aware of the issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] sirslipzalot:
Seems to be working better this time around. CA (Carrier Aggregation) wasn't enabled for me. I turned it on. Not sure if this was the deciding factor, but no more random reboots at least.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
You have to turn CA on? I saw B41^2 while using Signal Check Lite without turning anything additional on. How/what did you do to turn CA on?
