Hello,

I'm trying to follow the guide but keep hitting a wall with ADB drivers.

I have installed the ADB drivers but when I try the "adb devices" command, I get an empty list.

I can see my PC recognizes the phone as "Samsung Mobile USB Device" under Universal Serial Controllers section in the Windows 10 Device Manager. I tried deleting the driver, and manually install the ADB drivers but It keeps reverting to the Samsung driver.

Any ideas what am I missing?

Thanks

You have to have the screen on when you hook up the comp with the phone and approve the connection rsa screen or it won't detect most times. Also, try a different cable.

Hi, I've tried everything to unroot with no success.

So I paid for titanium to freeze update notification and it didn't stop it, can I just let the nougat update happen and root using a current nougat method?

The Odin triangle w/chinese writing is either a path issue or how it's opened. I am trying to remember exactly what it was. It's missing the accompanying files that it needs to open .... that I do remember. When you unzipped or opened there should have been 2 other files with it. They all need to be in the same folder and in either c directory or c/ program files. Not at laptop to look but if you still can't open repost and I will.look tomorrow

Does this still work for the March update on the SM-G930U I seem to keep going into boot loop.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] whbisondtr:
Yup, just make sure you follow the instructions to a T. I used the Prince Odin also. Only bootloop I got is when I forgot to use the cmd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] _v1s_:
Very strange I been following it to the T. I have tried the Prince Odin and others and it gets stuck.

My steps are:

1. Recover firmware from SmartSwitch SM-G930U

2. When it gets to the welcom screen I shut down and put fone into Odin Mode

3. With Prince Odin and EngBoot in AP select I flash it and it reboots.

4. Stuck on boot loop.

If I do any of the previous firmwares before March it works fine.

Also if I load in Odin any previous BL file and write it it will then boot. I am not sure whats in the BL file but it wont work with the March BL for me.

Hello. I followed this guide on stock image Verizon S7 Edge (with Nougat) and everything worked fine, except after I ran S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_Debloater_V15.zip (debloater), I am now getting the "IMS Service has stopped" pop-up error every second. Any advice on how to fix? Thank you.

Edit: The phone is a rooted S7 Edge with Nougat , I simply ran the debloater after everything was done.

Edit, more info: This phone is not activated on Verizon yet, still on my S5 until I can get the S7 Edge setup and ready for use.

Please disregard. I did some research and realized that the customization options I'm after are only compatible with Marshmallow 6.0 (I want to use Xposed). Now I'm trying to figure out how to flash my device to Verizon stock image with the MM 6.0 os. Any help is appreciated, thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] DMon04:
Mine did the same and I reflashed factory Nougat for the S7 Edge till I could figure it out. You're supposed to flash it in flashfire and make sure a few things are selected when flashing it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] MimesJump:
Thank you. I'll give that a shot. Ideally, I'd love to downgrade it to Marshmallow, but factory Nougat will do. Could you please point me in the right direction? Would like to get my hands on on the correct stock image and some instructions.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] DMon04:
If you're running on the latest QA4,you CAN flash the QA2 firmware files and it should flash just fine. I've done it several times now. Once your back on QA2 you can take the OTA update from Verizon to get back to QA4. I know it's a pain but that is the only way for now till somebody releases the QA4 firmware files. You can find the files on a lot of the threads here.

---------- Post added at 01:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 AM ----------

Correct but from how I'm taking it,those files were for Android 6.0,NOT Nougat 7.0 so they don't work on 7.0? I'm sure there's gotta be a way using flashfire on 7.0 but not sure right now. I've flashed them on my s7e with flashfire and after reboot started getting popup messages about the ims service had stopped and flashed back to stock QA2, took OTA to QA4 and re-rooted

Hi.. Im using a Verizon S7 unlocked in India. Firmware is G930VVRU4BQA4. Now that i want to root & debloat the device, will it lock the device again after this process?

Also should i flash the Verizon version for fix+dbloat or the normal one? cuz its mentioned only for PE1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] freeop:
All these files are for MM and NOT Nougat. Do not use these files on your phone if you have Nougat installed. There is a thread just for rooting the Nougat builds. Go here and follow the threads and you will find the right files to flash to get rid of many of the issues with the Nougat Root.

Thanks but that is for AT&T only it seems. I have a Verizon handset.

Then probably i should downgrade to MM then root else wait for a proper root method for nougat.

You are correct. Sorry about that. I gave you the wrong link. This one is for all carriers. AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile. Read the first post and it says it will work on all the carriers except Sprint, I think.

I just discovered this guide and I'm thrilled that there's a stable root with xposed. As a Verizon user this process usually takes a very long time it seems. Clearly I'm a little late to the party, but I'd like to get this up and running soon. I just upgraded to 7.0 and I'm wondering if someone has already posted links to firmware files for MM? I'm not sure which version exactly is used in the original guide, but I'd ideally like to follow it to a T to be sure nothing goes awry. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Unrooting Help

Hello,

I'm currently having a lot of trouble unrooting. I input all the files into Odin and it immediately fails after saying "recovery.img" and "system.ext4" after this it immediately says FAIL. I have tried a few times and I'm not sure what to do. I have tried both versions of Odin. I'm also sure that I have loaded the right .tar files to Odin. When I try to turn my phone back on it says Software Update Failed. I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.

HELP!

I'm sure I must be using the wrong bootloader firmware or something, but frankly I don't understand all of this very well and have come across several people claiming that after upgrading to Nougat my bootloader may just simply not be able to roll back to MM. This is a Verizon Galaxy s7 SM-G930V. Currently, I've downloaded the firmware for 7.0 so I can at least have a functional phone. It's soft bricked as of now so hopefully flashing Nougat will solve the issue for the time being while I figure out if it's even possible for me to get this working. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Please Help!!! S7 is in bootloop

Hi All,

Before I'm freaking out, I need some help

After applying the first step with Odin, my Galaxy S7 is stuck in bootloop. It reaches the Samsung logo and then reboot and so on....

I can go into download mode and recovery boot which but I'm not sure which option to choose

Any help would greatly be appreciated before i start pulling my hair

Followed the guide to prevent OTA update to 7.0 as I tether with true Verizon unlimited data. Everything worked fine however the device has been lagging a lot since root and the hurricane and VoLTE symbols are still up top. I have applied the Verizon fixes and Debloat patch and the symbols will go away however return after awhile. I also have trickster setup to apply governor as interactive. I have attempted to install imservice as suggested however it will just prompt with App is not installed. Am I missing something by chance? Thanks in advance for the help.

So I've successfully rooted, tweaked a lot of settings, followed the fine tuning thread linked in OP, and the one issue that keeps coming up is I just lose the ability to send and receive messages.. Pretty severe and stressful and I'm not sure what to do. I found mention of a solution on this thread about flashing the v15 fix, which I've done and that temporarily solves the issue. And then within the next several hours it happens again without fail. Any ideas? I've put a lot of work into optimization and would hate to go back to stock. Any help is appreciated. I'm on a Verizon Galaxy s7 6.0.1 MM pi3 firmware. I did initially flash the debloat + fix and then read that this was a bad idea so I flashed the v15. I'm not sure if that does anything to rectify what could have been harmed by the debloat. I've probably reflashed the v15 four times total in order to (temporarily) solve the aforementioned issue.

Update: As of a few hours since this post, I've run into the issue again after setting L speed to default. I had to flash the v15 twice in order to get it to work. I'm thinking I need to go back to stock and re-root at this point, but it's not worth doing if I'm going to have the same issues again. Sometimes I simply can't receive texts/calls, but I can always make calls it seems. Sometimes I can't send texts. Making calls does not solve the issue, as some people have mentioned this as a solution.

I cant get back to stock, previously tried nougat root after i upgraded my G930T accidentally, and Odin only fails no matter what firmware i try. I get a response in red letters saying secure system fail: system. or system fail: recovery on the Download Screen. Somehow, i got it to work the other day, after downloading verizon firmware and then recovered with smart switch. After restoring my phone again and trying to Permanent root, im going through the same thing and now I cant even get the phone to take firmware. Even smart switch wont go through.
