Sounds like you're rockin now. Check a few posts back for links to custom roms. I think stang5litre might be better for verizon than Echoe. I tried Echoe, way back when, and it was OK but I didn't like it enough to keep so I just went back to stock and did the basic root and v15 fix and froze a few things and that was that, at&t gets along good with the engboot kernel and root. If I didn't have so much stuff on my phone now, I would try stang's myself, especially v2. It looks smoken hot. Just read through the ops, and all the posts and threads, before jumping in.

Just FYI.....I've been using my phone since 5am, fairly moderate use all day mostly....so call it medium usage, and it's now 11pm and I have 15% battery life left and my phone estimates 3 hours left at current days usage average......or actually I think the phone uses the last 7 days for the average. Anyway, this is actually a good day because usually by about 9pm I'm running on fumes, but today I didn't use as much as normal. So I can live with these results, plus I keep screen at full brightness for my old aged eyes and don't use any battery optimization or anything like that. I believe in the kiss rule and also 'less is more' principal and the minimalism theory. To much tinkering doesn't always make things better....it is fun though. I just checked my battery stats and it shows a few minutes more than 4 hrs screen on time. If I went till this thing was dead I would get a little over 5 hrs screen on time....which is about my average. My phone never gets hot.....it does get warm sometimes......it depends on what I'm doing.....but never hot.

Mine used to run all day like that but after rooting, it can die at noon. I'll see tomorrow if flashing that fix ZIP helped. It does seem crisper now, not so laggy.

Btw, I noticed the notifications became expanded by default after rooting. It's still that way now and it's very annoying. Is there a way to turn that off that you know of?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] orgulloso4202:
Go to www.sammobile.com, download the stock firmware for your phone and use odin to go back. After it finish you should be back to stock. Then re root. You can also use smart switch by Samsung to go back to stock.

De-Bloat - Exynos

Would you expect the de-bloat and fix script to work on an Exynos SM-G930F version of the S7 ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ChinDaChin:
Excellent guide! 5/5!

Do you know where I'd be able to find the status of unlocking the bootloader? Also, this is an engineer ROM - when will there be a regular root ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Stoowyguy:
With a locked up bootloader thanks to Sammy we are doomed this phone lost a lot of hope. Rather be back on my s6..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Bootloader won't be unlocked and this is only root available. There are a couple of custom roms, stang5litre and Echoe, but they still use the engineering kernel for root.

---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

Yeap.......but still prefer the s7.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] faslane:
have you rebooted into recovery and done a factory reset from the phone?

Fas
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Stoowyguy:
Ya... the international.. Qualcomm version with locked bootloader= rip = no ondemandplus = crap battery life = waste of device. My s6 with a smaller battery and more cores could have more SOT thanks to open development.

S7 has been giving me good battery too but certain apps really drain

so i got root but no cell service any advice? thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] troby86:
Ok...so I think I got myself in a pickle...

I did this whole process on my T-Mobile SM-930T with no issues. Flashed the engineering boot image, rooted, etc.

All was good.

I decided to go back to complete stock. So I followed the steps to flash it back.

I loaded up Odin with the AP/CSC/CP files and it failed. Reported a SW Revision Fail (aboot)

I've tried flashing the AP individually with no luck.

After attempting to flash, my phone gives and error to connect to Smart Switch without booting.

However, I am able to fix it and boot back into the system by reflashing the engineering boot image.

So, I seem to be basically stuck with having a rooted system with the engineering image.

Is there any way to fix this? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] bacardi2001:
do you still get cell service with root image? im about to flash back to stock and see what happens
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] troby86:
Yes, everything seems to be working fine on the engineer image and root. But I want the ability to go back to stock if needed, lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Are you trying to flash the same firmware revision that you have on your phone? It needs to be the same or higher.....no going backwards.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] bacardi2001:
damn i cant get my mobile service to work (sprint)...still downloading stock then ill see what happens
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] troby86:
Yes, my phone was on PG1 prior to rooting. I am trying to reflash the stock PG1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Is there a higher one like ph1 for your phone? Which odin are you using? I think it needs to be 3.12 not Princecomsy. Did you try smart switch?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] troby86:
There is a PK1 I'm downloading right now. I'm using Odin 3.12.4, but I also tried Odin 3.10.7. I'll report back after trying the newest download. I tried Smart Switch, said my device was unrecognized.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Go into recovery and wipe cache, you shouldn't need to go back to stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] bacardi2001:
i did that still searches for service
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Did you flashfire the v15 fix file? Also, check your APN settings to make sure Sprint.

Hey killa, how's your phone? Did you get all straightened out? Post back if need any more help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] faslane:
I've went back several posts not one says you factory reset from the phone which can revert it back and possibly unstuck your phone so you can start fresh. You said you Odined various files but that's not the cure it your stuck always especially if trying to get back to stock. Sometime (many times) a simple factory reset will unroot you and out your phone back two where it was. It's worked for me countless times over many years.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Stenoman:
Hi there. I'm sure this has already been asked about before, but I can't seem to find the answer. After rooting my Verizon S7 edge, my mobile network does not get recognized after reboot or it will randomly disconnect every couple days, and the only way to get it connected again is to make a phone call. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Stoowyguy:
How did this kernel even come to be? Will it ever be updated?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Don't have that problem on at&t. Sometimes my phone doesn't always switch between wifi and mobile network when I have wifi on and move out of wifi range. When that happens I turn wifi off and in a few seconds, sometimes longer, it will switch over. Other than that, when something odd happens to my phone I usually just shake it a few times and that fixes it. Lol

Problems after root SM-G935P

I was not sure where to post this, I posted it a few days ago in a different thread but haven't had a reply yet.

I rooted my S7 edge. Everything went fine and I was able to use the phone for about a week. Then I got an error about Google play. I reset the phone and it got locked on the loading screen. I tried to connect to my computer but it would not recognize the phone. I tried another computer and a few different cables and I still could not get the phone to show up. I figured the only option was the factory reset which I did and the phone booted up fine. I am still not able to connect with the S7 edge. I have a couple other Samsung phones and I can connect with those. I'll list everything I've tried below.

different computer

at least 10 different cables ( I even purchased new ones)

re downloaded the drivers x2

usb debugging is unlocked

it is set to mtp. I also tried the other options with no luck.

As a side note, I thought you do not lose root on a factory reset but I tried a root checker and it said I was not rooted. just trying to add all I know to help figure it out.

I'd really like to just get root back. Thanks for any help or advice
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
This root won't work with Exynos......not sure if this root will work with 'Android Nougat Beta-3'.....I haven't paid enough attention on that end to know. Sorry.....

---------- Post added at 01:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------

You seem to have tried most things, especially since you're saying you had root and were fine for steady period of time.

So first thing, make sure you have the unlocked padlock when you boot up......if so then run root.bat but you got to make sure you have all the samsung drivers and adb on computer and usb settings in your phone have to be proper.

One thing I read you mention was you have several samsung devices connected to the same computer, even though not at the same time. If so then disconnect all of them and reboot your computer then make sure your Samsung drivers are setup proper and can connect to your phone....you may need to change usb settings in your s7 phone. After you can connect the s7 then try the root.bat over again.

I think that might be your problem or at least one of them since first thing you need is to be able to connect your phone to your computer for anything to happen. So if this works, you can post back results and go from there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Krog18:
To get your computer to recognize your phone, go to developer options and change usb configuration to PTP and it should connect. I see you said you tried MTP and other options, but make sure it's PTP.

Factory reset wipes the su binaries so technically yes, you lose root, but the rooted engineered kernel still remains so all you have to do is run root.bat again once you get connected.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] t4duzan:
I'm in the same boat as angrybear as far as not getting my phone to connect, and also losing the root (although I still see the pad lock on the bootup screen). I'll try the PTP connection and see if I can connect. I need to get rid of a Knox trip and flashing the stock rom should do the trick. I'm conflicted with rooting again because I also lost the ability to text at least two times. I haven't seen the text loss mentioned anywhere so maybe I messed something up. I also couldn't get the fix to work for removing the hurricane and VoiLTE symbols and a couple of other bugs that aren't present with my current unroot status.

Anyway, much appreciated with the PTP comment. I'll see if that helps me out.

Also, if I do re-root and flash a custom rom, will this get rid of the symbols automatically? Curious if some of the devs might have this fix built into their roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Krog18:
How did you manage to trip Knox? If you did, flashing the stock rom won't bring you back to 0x0. Are you sure you tripped Knox? Custom padlock doesn't have anything to do with Knox.

Yes, the custom roms have those fixes built in. What variant is your s7?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] t4duzan:
Maybe it's not Knox then. I get a notification saying "Security Notice: unauthorized actions have been detected . Restart your phone to undo any unauthorized actions.. I can dismiss it but it returns pretty quickly. Also I'm on the S7 Edge, Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Krog18:
OK, that's not Knox so you're good. The v15 fixes should fix that nag and all the other issues you're having. Also a good custom rom for Verizon is Stang5litre's s7e rom. That's what I'm on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] t4duzan:
So the state I'm in, should I just re-root with ADB and flash the rom you mentioned or is there additional measures I should take?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Krog18:
That's what I'd do... Here's a link for the rom if you choose that route. This is for the edge.

I can happily report about 4h of SOT with a battery cycle with rooted eng kernel. Is battery better with a NEWER kernel from latest Tmo firmware? You would think an upgraded kernel means better battery but without root that's loosing tweaked interactive,. Of course I try to keep my system debloated. I'm just asking others to share their results on battery life with stock debloat configuration vs root debloat/tweaks. I know this device could easily push 5-7h of SOT if we had unlocked, unlimited, open, progressive development
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JAYNO20:
If you are getting 4 hours of SOT you are doing WAYYYYY better than most here. The kernel needed for root is FAR from efficient and other than giving you root it has ZERO benefits to this phone. It's performance is terrible, battery life is terrible, and reliability is just terrible. I held on as long as I could holding out for a better root method but it doesn't look like one is coming. I jumped ship to the Pixel. I NEED root for some of the apps I have to have and I am not willing to sacrifice speed or battery life to get it any more.

With that being said, if you are really getting 4 hours of SOT with this root method and NO lag, consider yourself lucky.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] casper021:
So I thought I followed everything to T and flashed the Verizon s7 edge debloater and fix file. But I'm still getting those annoying "unauthorized access" pop-ups and both the voLTE and RCS icons are still on top. That makes me think I missed a step somewhere. There doesn't seem to be any changes in performance or battery life either
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Stoowyguy:
Well for me I realize battery life is sort of crappy so I followed devs instructions for optimal battery and I sometimes switch to powersave gov during Spotify. Otherwise this phone a disappointment with a locked bootloader. I'll be trying get exynos model.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Krog18:
You won't be able to go back to stock using the fw from the op. Go to updato.com and download your PH1 firmware and that will allow you to go back to stock if you choose to.

Sidenote since you're on Verizon I'd suggest a custom rom for the best stability. I recommend Stang5litre's s7e rom if you decide to. I posted a link a few posts back if you want to check it out.

---------- Post added at 05:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 AM ----------

Make sure you flash the correct v15 fix as that should fix your issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] casper021:
That could be it. I've never done this before so this might be a dumb question, but can I just flash the correct one over the previous version or do I need to do something else first ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Krog18:
Not a dumb question. Never hurts to ask just to be sure. Ya, you can flash over it.

So I am on SM-930V.......PH1 . I flashed the Samsung_G930x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR with odin successfully and I am now trying to push SuperSU via ADB. I am getting a notification saying Security Notice " Unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your phone undo any unauthorized changes" . My problem is that I can no longer get my pc to read the phone. Drivers are installed and I followed all directions correctly so far. But I can't get the PC to read the phone after that flash. I know it flashed correctly because it is "unlocked" on the opening splash screen and the LTE symbol changed to voLTE . Any help would be great , I'm kind of stuck in the water.

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 PM ----------

I have enabled USB debugging several times and I still CAN NOT get the PC to read the phone. It reads that the phone is plugged in, but the appropriate drivers do not load up. The only time any drivers load up is when the phone is in ODIN mode. When I plug it in I don't have a choice on the phone of how I want to connect via usb either. And one last thing I noticed after flashing this rooted IMG was that my wifi password resets every time the phone restarts. What have I done wrong ? And what can I do to fix short of Odin back to my original PH1 firmware?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
It's all good.....the v15 fix you need to flashfire will fix all that stuff. If SuperSu didn't install rerun root.bat and check usb configuration settings in developer options are set to mtp or ptp, one should work. After you get supersu installed download flashfire from playstore and flash v15 fix for 'any samsung s7' .......don't use the one for verizon since you're not on pe1 firmware. That should make all your problems disappear.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] mattkilla420:
Thanks for the response. I was able to get supersu on my phone I don't think it flashed correctly bc the binary will not update no matter what I do. Updating the binary is necessary before acquiring root access for flashfire right?

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 PM ----------

Yea I installed flashify but it said that it could not acquire root rights from SuperSU . This isn't my first rodeo I have rooted several devices in the past, so I some what know what I am doing. Changing to MTP in developer options did allow for supersu to be flashed correctly I believe, just still having issues updating the binaries.....

On another note, I had no idea root for the s7 was so buggy . I am downloading my stock file in the background right now because it looks like I will probably be going back to stock. I literally have owned this phone for about 2 hours after taking in a "bricked" S6 to verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] dhman06:
Where are you getting this v15? I see people talking about it on the forum but not sure where it's coming from?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Krog18:
It's in the original post under recommended next steps. You install flashfire, download the appropriate file and flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
You're nearly there Matt, don't stop yet. Once you run root.bat that's it job done. Don't update the binary at all you don't need to and cant so don't try. Then you want flashfire not flashify.....the later may work but the op calls for flashfire and that's what works for sure.....so keep following the instructs in the op. After that the v15 will fix all problems or you could try a custom ROM like stang5litre or Echoe.

PS- remember use v15 fix for 'any samsung galaxy s7', not the one for verizon, since you're not on pe1 firmware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Bj8926:
I hope you don't mind me asking a couple of questions about my s7e. Well I attempted to root my s7e that's running 6.0.1 marshmallow and I need to remove it I do believe, I'm not having horrible problems with it but it says the root access was not properly installed. And sir I don't know how to take it off of there. I figured I would ask someone that has more knowledge with this. And/or would it be possible to complete the root? If you wouldn't care to give me a hand sir I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
How far did you get? Did odin process complete ok? What about root.bat? Do you have the custom padlock on boot screen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Bj8926:
I went what I thought was the entire way threw the root but now I know I didn't. Odin did process just fine, and it did have a custom unlocked padlock on boot screen yes. I also have the vo)LTE right next to my 4g logo currently, and also something else but have no clue what it is
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Next you need to run root.bat to get the supersu loaded. Keep following the op instructs. Your almost there.
