Open a command window in the adb location, I believe shift - rt click gives you that option from your file Explorer. Type adb devices and make sure it sees your device, then I'd do adb root, Make sure it's got root privileges. Then just type root. Also make sure usb debug is enabled in developer options in settings. That should cover all your bases

AdFree makes it all worth it. Ad Free should be stock and titanium backup. There are a few apps that I like to restore especially after they automatically update to the latest version without hunting down the Apks.

So i rerooted because i was testing out some crap that bricked my phone. As soon as i got thru setup (as fast as i could, mind you) on pf2, i got notice to update.

Now, I'm fully rooted. Not only are the 3 required files disabled, their data was wiped, name changed to [name].apk.bak, and setting's data wiped prior to rebooting. I still have this:

I went into /data and searched for fota and nothing came up. I was hoping there was something else i needed to delete. Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
I was able to set it up but haven't tested it yet

Try to take the OTA and it will of course fail. Then reboot and the update notice will disappear. At least in my case on PE1 it did. Good luck.

Xposed problems

will this root method work on the PG1 update?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
Pretty sure. Make sure you back up your stuff and be ready to return to stock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
Yes, it works on PG1
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Duck Quan:
This happens to me as well. In fact it happened to me last night and I hate having to factory reset and re-root. I don't know if it will help but make sure you do not delete Samsung Pay or the Gear app. When I deleted those is when my phone first did it. After factory reset they came back anyway. And also after root and getting everything back up and running I enabled the packages that had been disabled. Only time will tell if it actually worked

How do you freeze the security updates?

Hello guys! I'm a newbie here from RUSSIA

My device is SM-G935P PD3 out of the box.

I flashed fixed PD3 fw then applied Unlock by APK from unlock site, now phone works with all carriers - OK.

Flashed Engineering Bootloader, but not rooted.

KNOX 0x0.

My problems now are:

1) No USB tethering/Hotspot menu

2) No Russian Language in stock (even if i edit languages.xml), however Rus keyboard working good

3) Always popup Activation Hands Free.

I read many articles and scared to flash 935U firmware on 935P.

1) Can it brick my phone?

2) Will 935U solve my problems?

3) Will KNOX switch to 0x1 while flashing 935U

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] LeftyGR:
This may be due to being unlocked and not activated in us, but don't quote me on this...

How are you editing this if you're not rooted? Root for this device does not trip knox.

Sounds like you missed steps. With the apps you should have disabled, this should not happen.

1) Not at all!

2) it could. Not sure tho.

3) Not at all! Know will trip if you change bootloader or recovery. Neither of which we are able to do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] izzibew26:
Just to add to leftys response, I would start with original, activated firmware before doing anything. Make sure you have those menus. If not, upgrade your firmware. Then follow the directions in the op. In case you go off track it might be beneficial to find and download the pit file just in case, as I've needed it once when testing and Odin would fail on every file. Stick with the op and you should be fine
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
Also to add to what they said, I've lost the Hotspot menu a couple times and restoring via Odin to factory will bring it back

Is it possible to flash the xposed zip without a custom recovery?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] sysmai:
im not sure if you have the same style of xposed running as my note 10.1 but when i updated to its latest firmware...the only xposed supported was custom and flashed through flashfire. it says the name up top but because it was flashed and not installed mine is greyed out as well. I think its the way it is when flashed and not installed normal system way.

stuck at hands free activation

I did a factory reset and now my phone is stuck at the hands free activation. Any way around this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] sysmai:
my post above may answer your question as well. If it must be flashed then you can't install it the normal System way with root and reboot. So if it must be flashed then more than likely the answer is no. However, I am about to go pick up my S7 Edge i am just looking at root before i leave the old S4. I may be mistaken depending on the way Flash Fire functions. I dont plan on flashing something to find out. If Flash Fire works on its own without any specific recovery and more of an injection type then perhaps you can. If anyone can make the magic happen its Chainfire and his crew. So I guess my entire statement may be informative but contradictory in that my answer still remains as a "maybe" lol. I hate realizing things at the end and not wanting to have wasted my time..so here is the post..:D

Quick question. I think I saw somewhere that this does not trip Knox. Is this true? If so, is there a way to revert back to stock? Do you think Samsung Pay would work again upon reverting? I'm having trouble deciding what I want more--root or SP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
Download root checker just to double check. Restart your phone and try the su process again.

Does anyone know if turning OEM unlock will have any repercussions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
You probably don't have ADB set up right. Or you probably don't have your phone connected to your computer? Bad port? Definitely recommend you install this ADB Tool. That being said, it seems like you have little knowledge when it comes to these things. It's definitely recommended that you research some of this stuff (like knowing how to manually restart your phone) before you attempt any of this. Not everyone will hold your hand through this process like I have so far.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] mimi20:
Just redid the process, sadly the same result. Root checker says that root isn't installed properly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
Hmm.... try running the root.bat or the command prompt (whichever way you're doing it) in administrator mode. Right click and click on "Run as administrator".
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] tdavis422:
I have experience with rooting. I just forgot about activating the OEM unlock because it didnt say anything about it. I had the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 rooted because its bootloader was unlocked, same with the Sprint LG G3 and G4. Don't say that Im inexperienced with root. I rooted my first android in 2014 and I was patiently waiting for this to get root.

Yes. Use [Root] FlashFire, read the OP's instructions at the beginning of this thread!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] sysmai:
if you are rooted then i found that the app "Samsung Device Info" will take you deep into debug mode without having to remember any dialer codes nor even have to dial them. I actually did crazy stuff like change settings in there between evdo and lte then exited and changed them back through connection settings. Then i dialed in the reprovision code and by some miracle it worked. call it an accidental fix..simply due to it telling me that i didnt have a sim card at one point and wouldnt give me 4g/LTE back until i did the crazy stuff above. Moto of this is try messing around in that app if you are confident enough to do it and not completely brick the phone.

I feel like the guy with useless answers today.

---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

It's like y'all didn't even read the 2nd FAQ post lol. As far as I'm aware, we have a special xposed and shouldn't be updated.

What's wrong with your Snapchat? D9es it not sign in? I installed Snapchat before installing xposed so I didn't have this issue. Did you flash just the fixes.zip or also the debloat.zip one because the debloat one caused me not to be able to sign in to snapchat.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Duck Quan:

If you have your msl you can ##3282#, go to edit, then select lte, then band priority, change band 41 to priority 1 and press save. It won't hold through reboot but it'll stay until then

Apps Force Close, then stuck at LTE screen after reboot

ill start off by saying that i have flashed this current method, 4 to 5 times over the past month. The root and phone works flawlessly for a good week, then the phone will randomly start force closing apps, then when i reboot it gets stuck at the LTE plus start-up screen until i reset/wipe the phone. The crazy thing is, it happens at almost exactly the 7 day mark, every time. I've tried the root method on two different S7E devices, and they both do the exact same thing. after the 7 day mark it force closes apps, then stuck at LTE screen until wipe. Its almost as if there is a timer in the root code that makes it do that (sounds crazy and i know its not that, but thats what it seems like). im real tired of losing all my stuff every 7 days, and im to the point where the root access is not worth having anymore due to this. anybody every hear of this issue before? i need help!!!!

Well it finally happened to me. Woke up this morning to telephony.com/phone app force closing on me. Didn't really investigate it too much, just chalked it up to my phone needed to be restarted but after a restart it got stuck on the splash screen. I'm thinking it's the fixes.zip that's causing this issue so I'm going to see if I can find a way to just apply the cpu governor changes to fix the lag and the heating and not everything else that fixes.zip offers since it was actually made for a Verizon device. I think our Sprint variant is a little more picky than the other variants. Should of known with the way we have to disable this and that in order to get our device rooted with service. I will post back with a update after investigating a little more thoroughly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Soooperstar:
Thats not it. It's happening on all carriers. Happens without the fix zip to. As I said above, it seems to be security policy updates. That's what they're saying in the Verizon threads. I started fresh an turned mine off almost 2 weeks ago. So far so good
