I am almost positive it's the security policy. I've run fine since this root method released, then I manually updated the policy yesterday, aaand boom soft brick immediately.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
I'll be posting a step to disable this just in case.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] LeftyGR:
I actually have just disabled it using PDP.

after rooting my phone, i used the buildprop editor in step 7 to get my LTE back and everything is working fine. i was just curious if everyone has "Sprint" on the left side of the notification bar at the top (i can't remember if it was there before i rooted)? when i get a new notification, it disappears but otherwise it's always there. does anyone know how to get rid of it full-time? thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] hippstar1981:
It's there full time. I'm not rooted
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] neuton:
Will this method work on the pg1 version..i just got my phone today and the base is pg1

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Kidmet:
I've tried to ask this in the past. But is anyone on PB5? Would be a HUGE benefit to those that want to root, use native tethering (ie use chameleon) and input all the correct APNs. I'm building a list with the 6 correct APNS. The reason for all the APNs being correct is so we can roam more efficiently. Just putting in the two APNs leaves us with no data roaming capability. (at least in my experience in Montana). Any help would be very much appreciated.

APN0 EHRPD ota

APN0 LTE ota

APN2 EHRPD internet

APN2 LTE internet

APN5 WIFI vowifi *

Global Roaming - SPRINT*

* I need to get the settings for these two and I think I've captured them all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
PB1? Or do you mean PG1?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Kidmet:
I meant PB5. That was back when we could edit the APNs. PG1 you can see them but not all the settings for each one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
There isn't a PB1 update. There's a PB5...

https://support.sprint.com/support/...ndUpdateTheSoftwareVersionOnYourSamsungGalaxy
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
I think you mean PB5, there was never a PB1
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Kidmet:
My apologies, thanks for the edit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
I'm on PB5 but I'm rooted already
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Kidmet:
Don't think that makes a difference. Are you able to bring up the settings for your APNs and change them?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
Yes, done it many times
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
I too started off on PB5 and was able to edit apn's. I didn't want to update firmware in case a different root method came out but i figured out you can easily go back with no trouble. I would recommend updating to PE1 though. Is definitely smoother and less laggy than PB5.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Kidmet:
Check your PMs, or can you post screen shots of the 6 original Sprint APNs? It would help us out a lot!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
I'm rooted and no longer have the original. Once rooted it wiped the original configuration

---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

You are able to go back to PB5?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Kidmet:
if you use build.prop editor you can change back to sprint and they'll come back. question is can you still edit them? What APNs do you use?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
I tried the build prop edit for sprint and it wouldn't work for me

Global roaming
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Kidmet:
Those are the chameleon APNs. :( Trying to find the original sprint ones. There are 6, like the ones I have listed in the original post. Argh! :) Thanks for your help. I guess the next question is where else can we find them beside ##DATA# and in the Mobile networks section. I don't need to edit them (yet), just pull all their settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
Yup, I would definitely try it out if I was you. Mostly everyone is running PE1 and not the latest update for our phones. Definitely see the performance increase.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Kidmet:
The real question is anyone rooted, running native hotspot, and roaming with data? (and maybe even using wifi calling?)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
Pretty sure I have native hotspot. Haven't really messed around with wi-fi calling because I don't need it but my suggestion to you would be to enable wifi calling and make sure it provisions correctly before rooting. Once you got it set up, I would root the device. Taking a look at the apn list, all the ones you would need are there including wifi and gloabal roaming.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Kidmet:
So maybe I missed a step (which most likely is the issue). You have all 6 APNs? And are rooted? AND have ,dun after then necessary ones to use native hotspot? I can get 2 of the 3. But not all three. Curious if you have done it and how exactly. I can have root and the APNs, but then I can't change them to have native hotspot. I can have native hotspot and root, but then won't have all the APNs needed to roam.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
I haven't tried updated because I've heard others say that the were not able to roll back to PB5. I stayed because I can go back to stock and still edit APNs
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
All you need is the firmware to flash through odin and you should be able to go back to PB5. You won't want to after you try out PE1 though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
I'm running smooth now with the tweaks. Others report that the firmware fails if you're not on PB5 already
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
I'll try downgrading here soon just to make sure again. You know for science.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
Ok cool thanks... Yea that's what I read from several people. Thanks for checking for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
Yea, they're right. Although I did downgrade once it might of been before I upgraded all the way to PE1. Now it says I can't because of a "SW Rev Check Fail aboot fused 2>1" error. Samsung's placed a downgrade restriction on the latest firmware.

I did some more digging around and I found an old thread where ppl were bypassing the downgrade restricting by using a .pit file loaded in odin to downgrade. It was during the whole marshmallow lollipop fiasco and on a different device so not sure if it'll work now but one day I'll give it a shot with our own pit file in odin. Seems promising and something to check into possibly.

Ahhhh gotcha, thanks for checking it out
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
Even updated, you can use [MENTION=827428]heathmcabee[/MENTION] method posted here

I'm using this method on PEH unlocked firmware. I can edit APNs. It's how I took the screenshots I posted a few posts above this one.

Just a suggestion. You can update and still edit your APNs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
Stock too?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
If you mean not rooted, then yes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
So Hotspot works? Everything seem to be working fine?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
Someone had mentioned this method in the 930P section. I'm about to try it out myself as well and report back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
Everything working great. No issues for me whatsoever.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
Thanks for the info
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
Well turns out that we don't actually have that package but here's what I did find after searching for "apn".

Turns out that clicking on most of those will force close upon opening up the telephony package. This app is still very useful and actually gives me ideas.

Here's the other way [MENTION=224241]C/\OH[/MENTION] from the 930P section figured out how to enable hotspot that I'm also about to try:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
Okay, let me start over. What I did was:

1. download Shortcut Master Lite

2. Search for lte

3. Launch "com.test.ltefunctionality" (The first result)

4. Edit APNs

5. Done

I'm on PEH unlocked Firmware.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
It's not the directions but more so the firmware. You're on the unlocked firmware which has different system packages than the Sprint firmware so this method won't work.

I did however get [MENTION=224241]C/\OH[/MENTION]'s method to work. I can confirm I have hotspot working natively now. Don't really have a use for it but free hotspot =D.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
Ah, I see. Got me wondering what will work on the Note7? :confused:

Edit: didn't want to make a completely off-topic post, but I'm giving this to my kid cuz he broke his s5 and taking the note 7. Anyhow, the quest for hotspot is renewed lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
Not much of an upgrade from the Galaxy S7, at least not processor wise, which is why I'm not upgrading but that's off topic lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Kidmet:

Never saw this, you've made my day!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
Are you using the unlocked firmware or did this work for you on the regular sprint firmware?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] tjeeeeee:
Doesn't work with sprint firmware... Attempted a few times
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
That's what I reported back in post #657. If you read through that post you'll actually find out how to enable hotspot down at the bottom though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] tjeeeeee:
Correct but it requires root which I was trying to avoid.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
Oh, I see. Good luck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] JG96EVO:
Hey, what module did u use to change your battery icon to the circle 1 like that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
Gravity box
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Kidmet:
Yea, no luck on the unrooted ROM, no biggie. I dropped my phone last night so I have a new one on it's way from insurance. My plan is to root it and add all the APNs shared earlier in the thread. Hoping that'll solve the native hotspot and the roaming issues. Then I'll be a happy camper! :) I'll post back the results.

Did anyone come across a fix for the abnormal rotation speeds on the loading circle? I tried the xposed module smooth progress bar or something like; didn't seem to help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Elbowedsmile01:
I am getting issues where primary android apps start crashing my guess is xposed? Only other thing is a background updater trying to remove supers. It completely removes the supersu.apk and then gapps start to fail. I've been rooting for a while and I always have stock rom and backups of all my phones. It usually takes 35-50 minutes to do this method that includes flashing full stock first.

Edit: friend suggested disabling all bloat first I'll try again like this
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
You have to turn off or disable security policy updates in lock screen and security or freeze it. May have to start from scratch at this point

no matter what i do i cant get it out of boot loop and now i cant get it to recognize on odin to flash the stock back to it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
That's why I was telling you on my thread... You got some issues going on. Are you on the newest Odin version? Also are the Samsung drivers installed? Try a different USB cable
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] raivyn:
yes, yes and cable is fine i was able to use it to flash stock rom back to it this morning but after i did i followed that videos instructions and turned on usb debugging and checked the oem unlock and now i cant get it to recognize on odin to flash stock back to it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
Did you try going into recovery and factory reset first?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] raivyn:

How do i change apn's? I have done everything in first post an ther3 grayed out...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] pdoroba:
As far as I know the only possible way is to use an app like shortcut master to edit them. You must be rooted though. I lost the hotspot when I rooted and then subsequently unrooted due to poor battery and instability. I'm really missing my hotspot. Has anyone rooted to activate the hotspot and then unrooted while keeping the hotspot?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
I haven't personally but I've heard some say they were able to using the U firmware
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] donbudafuko:
I found out how..just put back to 310000 instead of the 310120 an i still have ltw
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] ryan2202:
So I went ahead and re-rooted out of boredom. Phone is running great so far, so we will see how long that lasts.

FWIW, I used Kernel Toolkit instead of others that are suggested (Kernel Tweaker, Kernel Auditor, Trickster MOD, etc). It seems much simpler and doesnt have any notifications.

I actually had more issues rooting this time than when the very first method came out. It took multiple times for SuperSu to execute. Although I never had to do a factory reset after going back to PE1 from PEH (U). And another odd thing is I still have the " 1 " next to System Update even though I disabled all the packages. No matter what I do it always comes back but doesnt try to install and there is no notification on the status bar.

Also of note I had some issues with my Google Restore, and Samsung Restore. Google restore seemed to start but then crapped out and I had to do my apps manually. Samsung Restore was able to restore some of my settings but not everything and it failed about halfway through restoring my messages.

However, I did not realize WIFI calling was NOT working on rooted firmware. It might be helpful to some if that is mentioned on the first page of the thread. If I had known that I probably would have stayed on U lol. I just started using WIFI calling recently and it was very useful. For some reason I thought it was working on rooted firmware and never went through the thread to check.

Everything else is up and running and we will see how she goes. LTE and 3G are working, along with MMS. Curious to see if roaming works. Thanks to all who helped with this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
It's because that video is not meant for our sprint variant. That's why we have a specific method for rooting our devices in the Sprint specific forum. Wish it was that easy to root but it's not. Good luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Son Rise:
What do you mean? It says

How to Root Qualcomm Galaxy S7/S7 Edge! [AT&T/T-Mobile/Sprint/Verizon]
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] themisterwilson:
Did something bad happen because you followed the instructions in the video? Because this thread did not link that video. I have no idea what that video told you to do, but if you follow the instructions in this thread, and you follow these instructions on a SM-G835P, you will have root. Your phone will function. It worked for me, many, many times. As it has for others. Regardless of where you got your original instructions from, everyone here is willing to help. Be polite, and try to ask the right questions, and somebody will hopefully have the right answers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] LeftyGR:
Our variant requires a few different/extra steps not covered in the video. We need to disable apps before the process. We may need to do other stuff after the process.

Notice he's on wifi the whole time? Does he ever show he has mobile data?

Other variants aren't as stubborn as ours. Hell, we can't even root the 935U and have working data! Because Sprint...Jerks! lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] AySz88:
Wait, so, which of the instructions here aren't applicable to the other variants of Qualcomm S7 edge? (The intro led me to think the whole guide was for all the Qualcomm variants....) Do we just skip the package disabler and the "get LTA data back" steps? Does "S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_V15.zip" have anything that's Sprint-only?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
What?? If you have a different variant other than the Sprint galaxy s7/edge then you need to be in your proper forum. Not in the Sprint forum section. These steps are only meant for the Sprint variant....

HELP

I have a sprint sg7e runningG935UUEU2APG9 after I flash the g935a file all of my settings go away and all the values under buildprop I need to change are gone and so are the 3 files I need to disable in package disabler. so the phone works it just cant do calls, data or anything
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
I have the same phone SM-G935P, and get the same result. Flashing the SM-G935U SPR firmware works as long as you don't flash the eng boot and try to root. I have not been able to figure out a way to retain phone and data after root. I have tried all the tricks that have been posted that work for the actual SM-G935P firmware.. As you say, with the U firmware all of the radio and network provider settings disappear from the build.prop. APN settings are also lost and not able to be edited. I have also tried re-inserting the apns xml file and rebooting. That doesn't work either. Hopefully someone can figure out how to retain radio function with the U firmware after root on the SM-G935P.
