I searched last night, the search function even broke and sent me to xda support page but the issue it's not a big deal for now, will work it later when I have time. Thanks man

My apologies, I've been following this thread since yesterday early when I found it and let me tell you, the majority of the posts in this thread are from people complaining exactly like you. "You guys don't ever read!". "You regular users should stay out of this because blah blah". The search function even takes you to those posts! The amount of that kind of post is ridiculous all over the thread. I know it must be frustrating to see the same questions pop up, trust me I can imagine (I'm showing empathy here), but AS I SAID, I read lots of pages (towards and backwards the thread), I found lots of posts about the T-Mobile white screen loop, I found lots of posts about voice over LTE and imservice bug, made sure someone confirmed working on PG1, found lost of posts of people reporting crashes after weeks of use. I worked myself around all the issues I could find. I know it's unstable, I've had root methods/safe straps for locked bootloaders in the past. Pardon me if I missed a bug that was mentioned. Maybe I didn't use the right keywords in the search function, but don't have the nerve to say that I didn't read because I didn't found one specific bug. I found everyone's bug but mine, most of them didn't happen to me. My message wasn't even intended to sound needy or ask how to fix it, I'm not asking for help, I just wanted to share the issue I had because I didn't see anyone else with it while my searches. I will go back through the thread whenever I can and find the fix if it's there, the wifi problem it's not a big of an issue for now. Don't want to sound rude, I respect this community very much

I really liked this post from Binary and what he had to say about the repetitive questions issue. Very honest but very respectful. It's called empathy.

Flashed with PG1. Been running a few days so far. I followed the video and did the Trickster mod, Package Disabler and the Build Prop mod. The battery life is very good as before and I'm not getting the heat problem, it does run slower than stock. Everything seems to work except my WiFi tether Root (Fabio Grasso) is not working right. Won't close out, shuts off sometimes, etc. He thinks the problems are with SuperSU 2.76, says this version is causing some apps to not work right. Guess I'll see what happens.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Binary100100:
I don't think that I'd agree with SuperSu causing the problems unless you have several apps requesting root access.

Are you running xPosed? I believe that xPosed has a much greater risk of poor battery life, bootloops, lag and sudden crashes than SuperSu.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Netconn:
No, not running Xposed. I installed AdAway, Lucky Patcher, Root Check, Busy Box, FlashFire, Trickster, Package Disabler and WiFi Tether (all root apps). And the crap that's already on there from Tmo.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] anrchy666:
Did you update SU by google play or or link made for the s7?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Binary100100:
The link.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] HighMans:
Hello! I own an s7, and after rooting it for about a week -- I restarted my device and now it's stuck on the t-mobile logo. It vibrates for a second, stops for 5, then does 3 short pulses.

Is there a way to recover my data or to fix this issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
I answered in Root Discussion thread...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Gxzn:
Hey, guys. I'm planning on rooting on PG1. I've read through and see reports on a lot of bugs. Just wanted to ask how the root is doing to date? Have you all found fixes and alternatives?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Netconn:
I downloaded everything from the OP's links. It all worked fine as the video showed. Fabio Grasso (Wifi Tether) said I should reflash an older binary. That's too much to fool with and I'll probably wind up bricking my phone.. So, I'll deal with the problems for now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] SkVergil:
There are still bugs and it's a bit slow but for some having root outweighs the smaller issues. Almost every major bug has a fix or a work around. Battery life it's not as good as stock but it gets better with time. I guess it's like one of those things that you should try and see for yourself if you can manage with how it runs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Maurylucha:
just did the root on PG1 and everything works the phone is just laggy so im going to try that kernel toolkit he talked about, right before I did the root I did request for the phone to get unlocked (g935 tmobile) through the tmobile app that comes pre installed and it actually went through now it reads g935t so even with that the phone went through root fine, finally! ill update if I come across any huge or annoying bugs as it doesn't seem like many have rooted PG1, and finally xposed on my s7e thank the devs!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] funcritter:
This is why I seriously enjoy rooting all my phones. I learn so much. I haven't had to come in and ask how to do anything with my S7 Edge. Everything I needed to know was in this thread and if I didn't know how to do something, I learned how to do it myself such as how to place this file on my phone and change the file permissions. I really love Android.

Thank you for this thread and everyone who has helped others in this thread to do what they need to do. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] WingedCow:
Do tell me how yours go after toolkit, mines still laggy as hell even with fresh PG1 and root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
Did you do a clean wiped install? I had many issues until I started over and did so. I am using kernel installer set to interactive, and while it limits it to 1593 MHz, my AnTuTu test was still about 85% of stock - which I can live with for now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Maurylucha:
So far so good I set the kernel and I set it to either on demand or performance and it goes good for about 15 minutes then reverts back to the default settings so yeah about 75% of stock speed and feel, and the play store getting stuck at 100% if you hit your recent study button swipe the play store away and open it back up itll continue doing its thing until it gets to the next app at 100% but other than that everything seems to work fine I have xposed on already the only problem I've had with any app so far is snapchat even with rootcl oak so I might use a snap alternative for now while I mess with it

When you pushed the apk you didn't start having the process com.android.phone keep crashing? After I pushed and restarted I keep getting that error and my signal/4G comes and goes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] thegameksk:
How is everyone's battery life on average? I rooted last night and my battery is awful. Battery went from 100% to 80% when I was playing Pokémon go on the train for 30 min. On stock it goes down to 90%. Will it get better from this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] seanvree:
CRAP!!! It happened again! I was rooted and everything working perfectly, then something updated overnight and now I'm stuck on the white tmo screen. I have to return to stock and start over! Something is updating in the background and bricking the device?! This has happend to to me twice now. Anyone else?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] WW3:
Happened to me 4 times now.. flashed modified home_csc, and it comes right back up without loosing anything. Try that... modified csc instructions are on post 1 of stock firmware thread
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
No. Make sure Samsung system updates are frozen and play store is no set to automatically update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Maurylucha:
mine is 50/50 I was also playing pokemon go and it went down pretty fast so I will fully charge and post a screen as well as try the csc and a prl update see if that fixes my spotty signal service
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] spinsz1:
Almost the same issue here. I had to restore the phone 3 times in 2 weeks. Around every 4 days, I get the Google Play store has stopped working error. I restart the phone and it stays stuck at the white T-Mobile screen. I have to restore the phone and flash a backup from that day.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] WW3:
What do you use to backup ? I just reflash stock with the home_csc and I have all my data except for root. Have to reroot everytime.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] 420hackr:
Finally got that bootloop everyone has . Stays on tmibile screen . Went back to stock for now. Man I was enjoying ad blocker and Pokémon go modules..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] s7s7s7:
My phone is on the "Downloading... / Do not turn off target" screen.

On the top left it says:

How do I get out of this screen?

At this point, I just want to avoid a brick.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] spinsz1:
I used flashfire, but it seems that when I restore the error now pops up immediately after. Even tried to restore a backup from when it was fresh with just root and the error still persists. Gonna have to do an ODIN restore I guess... I honestly don't know what causes it. All I have is root and Xposed. Even without Xposed it still happens...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] s7s7s7:
Maybe not the brightest thing to do, but I tried a bunch of button combinations.

Volume down + Power button got the device to reboot normally.

Problem solved!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] seanvree:
Which thread? I looked, I'm not sure which one your'e talking about my man.

These are the instructions on repacking home_csc http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3331528
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] seanvree:
Got it!

So I flash this, then the Eng boot, then re-root, correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] WW3:
Yup.. stock files with this csc
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] WingedCow:
I did, this was from a freshly RMA'd phone, updated to PG1, wiped, then installed. Installed Kernal Toolkit and set small cluster to 1593 and big cluster to like 2150, though those doesnt seem to save properly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] spinsz1:
The file works for keeping my info, but when I use ODIN to re-root I get stuck at the white screen every time... =(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] seanvree:
I think it's because you have to do a full wipe first. Then re root. And if it happens again only THEN you can use the modified file. I don't think it will work after the fact.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] spinsz1:
So, basically, if it happens again where Playstore starts to crash again and I get stuck at the white screen, I'm losing everything...

---------- Post added at 06:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 AM ----------

How are you reflashing stock with home_csc, rerooting and not getting stuck at a white screen? Whenever I do the same thing, when I reroot it always gets stuck at a white screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] seanvree:
Absolutely not.

Make sure you do a flashfire backup every week or so. Then, if it happens again, wipe phone, reroot, and then restore with flashfire. I just got done doing it.

I'm still interested to see if flashing the homeCSC thing works, but I'm going to try next time it happens.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] spinsz1:
Weird, that's what I did and I still got the white screen. I flashed to stock using ODIN, rerooted, used my flashfire backup, everything was back except root. I rooted and it went to white screen again. Unless I am doing the wrong flashfire backup option because every time I restore my backup I lose root. Pretty sure I'm doing something wrong... lol

Btw, thanks for the quick responses! =D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] seanvree:
Right, I think you have to wipe data from the stock recovery before you flash anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] spinsz1:
Ok, are you wiping using the recovery option or odin? When I use the wipe data/ factory reset option it never boots passed the white screen only when using odin does it get me passed it. Also, which backup option are you using in flashfire? I have to do this around every 4 days. Playstore starts to crash and so do 3 other apps. Try to restart the phone and there is the beautiful white screen, laughing at me. I try to wipe data and restore, and it stays at the white screen. I have to Odin to stock then reroot, losing everything. I dunno...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] funcritter:
I had no problems at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Maurylucha:
weird my signal got so bad I had to download the pg1 firmware and go stock and now im about to re root but im not swapping that imsservice apk this time I went a whole day with no 4g nor calls/texts so pretty interesting day for me haha loved the root and xposed though hadn't had a rooted phone since my s5
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] tp2215:
So I was reading over most of this thread before I tried to root it when I get home tonight but just wanted to throw something out their that maybe a Dev can look into...

A while back I had an old school kindle fire that I rooted and installed cm on. The way I had it rooted was to basically run twrp directly from a zip on the sdcard and launch it from Flashfire in the os (would reboot into it). To my knowledge I think the bootloader wasn't touched (I could be wrong though).

Maybe a method to look into?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Binary100100:
I reflashed the PD8 firmware and re-rooted exactly 40 hours ago. My phone hasn't had a hiccup since. Not even a lag. Only difference is that I didn't modify the imsservice. Made wifi calls, VoLTE calls and even a few video calling. No problems. I'm not using any kernel auditing tools either. Just an edited file of psouza's fix. http://dl.psouza4.com/android/S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_V15.zip

I simply edited the zip file to remove the part that removes the existing imsservice file and pushes the new one.

Sure I still have those annoying icons, but at least I don't get the annoying IMS service has stopped error. (Yet.)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Maurylucha:
I furgured out what it was once I receive flashed stock and ready rooted, turns out when you do push the ims service apk through some app on the phone you have to go ba"cm a set the permissions if you push through adb you don't have too and that's why it kept crashing I found the thread on the s7e Verizon so hey there you go sometimes spending hours reading helps haha the kernel toolkit i didnt really need but if you van make your phone fastee why not? so yeah I'd rather have the annoying icon than a constant annoyance popping up, thanks though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
Now you can try TEKXv2 if you haven't already - did it with the PB8 firmware weeks ago and all is working pretty good still. I had reboots like crazy when I first dirty rooted PD6.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Binary100100:
Already on it.

Flashed stock, rooted, flashed TEKXv2, updated busybox, updated SuperSU/Superuser binaries, used flashfire to install xposed and V15 fix.

All in that order. No problems at all. (Knocking on wood)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] taranfx:
Flashed and rooted.

Phone remains hot all the time and battery shoots down. Performance is really bad.

And Wifi password is forgotten each reboot, each wifi toggle.

Is this working on SM-G935J..???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] geor9iaboy:
All of these issues have been addressed already, literally on the 1st day we got root, that's the reason I'm holding out. Way too glitchy, it's not worth it just yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] GartimusPrime:
I have been running root since the beginning on my SM-G930R4 and after applying those fixes I have had no glitches at all, runs smooth and I get decent battery with it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] geor9iaboy:
Cool, I've seen a few posts where people have said similar things. Some people can deal with the occasional lag. At least the bugs have fixes, but the subpar battery life & Reports of the phone being too hot & eventually crashing after a couple days, forcing a reset through Odin & getting stuck in bootloops, etc etc. In my own personal opinion, it's way too many downsides, even if some of the problems can be "fixed". To each his own, I'm really looking forward to a much more stable root. Maybe some day lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] tp2215:
I was just reading over some earlier posts in the thread and saw some people having issues with the modifified notification in the status bar not going away. I was having this same issue. at first but finally fixed it. I had already froze and then uninstalled completely the tmobile.pr.adapt app that is suggested but it did not remove the notification. I then eventually went back to the initially root.bat file that installs supersu etc. and found that it seemed to reboot the device automatically directly after supersu installed before the rest of the script completed. The rest of the script basically also freezes these apps...

adb shell pm hide com.LocalFota

adb shell pm hide com.samsung.android.intelligenceservice

adb shell pm hide com.samsung.android.securitylogagent

adb shell pm hide com.samsung.sdm

adb shell pm hide com.samsung.syncservice

adb shell pm hide com.sec.android.diagmonagent

adb shell pm hide com.sec.android.fotaclient

adb shell pm hide com.sec.android.fwupgrade

adb shell pm hide com.sec.fwservice

adb shell pm hide com.ws.dm

adb shell pm hide com.wssyncmldm

I think the supersu script that executed includes a reboot command so it didnt let the script finish. Anyway after I disabled all of those I no longer get the notification.

Also one other small issue I ran into just to mention it, I had originally copied over the modded imsservice.apk that was suggested in many threads in the forum and changed the permissions to the same as the old one and all the other apps. After I rebooted though it started to give me fc when making calls. I then went back and aftter trying a few other things I changed the app to full permissions out of frusteration (777) and after a reboot it worked perfectly with no reboots.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
I had many issues when I just rooted the OEM ROM without wiping.

I wiped (factory reset) and ODIN'ed PB8 with the recommended modded ODIN (which may be the problem for many) and then rooted, Xposed plus a few Xposed mods, and reinstalled most apps with smart switch. Did not mess with the icons that seem to be a major concern to many, and did the CPU tweaks recommenced (just changing the performance mode is the big one).

Have had no issues since - no lags and decent battery life. I am not a rocket scientist, so if you are having major issues - you did something wrong. Just look at Binary100100's post a few back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] DOMF:
This is absolutely not true. People (myself included) have done exactly what you said, have no lag, good battery life, and one day everything crashes and hangs at the carrier screen upon reboot. Just look at my last post and subsequent "me too" replies from everyone this has happened to.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
Had you done any subsequent mods or messed with any settings ? It looked like most others had not gotten to a good place before they had these problems - surprised your just crashed.

It is too bad it won't boot at all or you could flash a backup with FlashFire. It should be possible to backup/restore with adb on an unrooted device - but it will not work yet on 6.0.x devices.

How to revert back to stock G930T?

Does anyone know how to revert back to stock G930T (T-Mobile) successfully? I've been going at it for 2 days now and just can't get it to stock. I've tried Odin 3.09 - 3.11.1 - 3.12.3 / Samsung smart switch on PC > Device initialization, all of them failed. I tried different computers, different micro-usb cables and still failed. I tried in Admin mode and failed.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] spinsz1:
Well, I wanna say yes, but then I'd be lying.... I can't believe I forgot to turn that off... Thank you! Going to try with that and see what happens. Only thing is, when I recover through Odin with the Home csc file, I keep everything. But when I try to root again, I get stuck at white screen. Do I just have to start all over or is there a way to make it work? Again, thank you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] anrchy666:
You can try a factory reset after root i only had to redo it once so far and just did a fresh install with wipe lol.

Lol, will try it. Thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] cuezaireekaa:
When I was rooted, I had success by flashing the home CSC and not having to reset or Odin..

The trick that kept working for me was I made sure all packages (that matter to the phone) were enabled. AND I removed all my saved fingerprints from settings and lock screen. Without that step I would boot loop.
