[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Daar:
Hi, using Galaxy S7, model G930P, and I ended up making a mistake on my first run through colormedroid's post, and ended up coming here. I believe that where I messed up was the engineer boot file, and then SuperSU wasn't working even though I got a few indications that the device was rooted, nothing was given permissions. This also might have been a mistake, but I also tried simply running the boot file from the SuperSU zip again, and this time it didn't work.

I'm trying to start the process over from the beginning, but when I tried the unrooting method, every time I hit start in Odin, the download on the phone fails and stops entirely after like 2 seconds. Might anyone know what the issue is? Will I have to do a factory reset or anything like that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
No, you need to return to stock first.

That a lot to take in. I'll try to help if I can. Lots of questions so try and check everything.

You can try to wipe cache and a factory reset from recovery but the unrooting process is return to stock so you need your current firmware to use with odin. You may also need to use a different Odin mentioned in the op and thread when you do.

Check a few things before completely returning to stock. Can you turn he phone on and use it like it is? Does your phone have the unlocked custom lock when you first turn on the phone? If you have all that then you should only need to run root.bat over. When you do make sure your phone is connected, setup correctly....usb configs in developer options etc....that you have adb set up correctly on your pc and root.bat in the proper place and all. You may need to keep trying the root.bat while troubleshooting settings both phone and pc until you get it. Get a rootcheck program from playstore to check for root while you do. It doesn't hurt to clear cache from recovery......in fact I would recommend it before and after any process especially if your phone is acting quirky. If you don't have the custom lock then the engineering kernel is not installed proper so you may need to completely start over or return to stock with your current firmware and Odin.

Next option.....if your phone is soft bricked then you will need to find your current firmware on the Internet or xda link then you can Odin back to stock and start entire process over. Before starting try to wipe cache from recovery and then try factory reset from recovery.....once you decide nothing works then odin back to stock with the firmware you downloaded from the Internet. The firmware should be the exact match to what is currently on your phone or a newer version only......but same version is better. Once you're back to stock start entire process over.

---------- Post added at 02:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 PM ----------

Before you go back to stock try wiping cache from recovery and see if that helps. Plus, how much did you do to your phone? I wouldn't recommend going past v15 fix or one of the custom roms. As for xposed, I wouldn't touch it on this phone....most problems start after xposed from what I can tell by reading most of these threads.

ok so im trying to unroot my phone i've installed the samsung android usb driver for windows,

downloaded the VZW_G935VVRU2APE1.zip file and then extracted it.

turned my s7 edge off and started it in download mode.

started odin princecomsy, loaded the AP, CP, and CSC, and hit start and it fails,

the phone shows: SV REV CHECK FAIL: (system) fuse 3 > binaries 1

and then it now it's stuck at

software update failed

your device didnt update successfully

use the verizon software repair

assistant on a computer to repair your

device and complete the update.

so i'm kinda lost and dont know what to do..anyone has any idea how to fix this?

any help would be appreciated thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
You need to find your proper current firmware online. You don't use Princecomsy when you return to stock or at least I didn't. The verizon software repair assistant might work too but I think you'll still need your current firmware file to use in the update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] darkreixor:
ok but how do i get out of the blue screen? it seems like i can't do anything
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
On your phone hold power home volume down for Download odin mode and power home volume up for recovery mode. If you hold just power and one of the volume buttons for about 10 secs the phone will turn off or it might even just be the power alone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] darkreixor:
ok thanks for the help :) im gonna have to find the newest file for my phone then :D

how fun hahah
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Check out the verizon thing first to see if that will fix and what you need.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] darkreixor:
well i don't know how to get that verizon assistant software...

it apparently starts while plugging the phone to the computer...but nothing happens when i do that

Yeah sounds like the Vfix wasn't applied possibly since so many issues happening. +1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] State.of.mind:
Does anyone know of any applicable tweaks that will actually improve battery life? I followed this guide (including the fine tuning piece) and I found that my phone battery lasts for about 4 hours maximum (moderately heavy usage) I also tried Govtuner. Could it be because my governor is set to on demand and not interactive? I've read that the root cause is the battery drain has something to do with the engbot? Has anyone found any other solutions to the battery problem? I am using the flat s7 btw.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
I think 4 hours of on time moderately heavy usage is pretty good. My son has same phone as me, I'm rooted and he's not, and we get about same battery time. I don't remember what samsung specs this at but a half a day with constant usage sounds pretty good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] darkreixor:
i guess! i've also noticed i couldn't use my sdcard anymore!

thank god i was able download the latest firmware and unrooted my phone successfully !

thanks for all of your answers and help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] faslane:
Yeah I flashed the firmware and new APK1 modem and didn't root. Had waaaaaay too many issues after rooting and even after the patched and fixes. I ran it for a half a day and it was way too unstable, half my apps would wirk and got hot, battery drained massively so I redid it all thinking bad flash and had the same experience. Not new to flashing Roms or rooting by any means but it was never stable enough to even get it setup. Now unrooted which I don't mind whatsoever it's the fastest it's ever been, no bloat and new modem makes LTE haul ass big-time. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] darkreixor:
for extending the battery i've read a thread in xda about using greenify alongside amplify (you have to use exposed)

i have exceptional battery life on my s7 edge (non rooted) so i did not see a difference while using these apps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
It's interesting I'm starting to hear reports that people are having a problem with this file. Would you please verify the model of phone you have and the firmware version you're on from Settings ->About phone on the step prior to flashing the .zip? I have personally flashed it a bunch of times without issue on my Verizon Galaxy S7 running G930VVRU2APE1 and that is literally the only combination it's appropriate to flash for.

It disables provisioning hooks for hotspot tethering, allowing you to use the hotspot/tethering feature without a specific subscription to that service with Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
This is helpful, although confusing, thanks -- I'm comparing the contents and script for both to find out what the conflict could be in V5 alone vs V2->V5.

" In the command prompt, type adb wait-for-device"

I am sorry. I encountered a message "adb" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] xboxexpert:
I have the correct model phone to assosiate with the v5.

While sitting on the Verizon "dots" screen I've successfully waited 2 minutes and adb shell kicks in the background and gives me SU access to the internal partitions...just wait.

Beyond this point depending on how much data you have you may just want to charge your battery fully, let your phone cool down and start with a cool phone with full battery.

I did adb shell then adb pull /data/media/0 and was able to successfully start the backup of my internal files. This makes me way happier than I was a few minutes ago. DCIM was my life considering I just had my daughter and during the C-Section I was able to take pictures of her coming right out. May be too much info but you can only imagine how important those pictures are to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
It's likely that you did not follow the instructions leading up to that point. There is a system-wide installer for Windows earlier in the guide that (a) installs adb and (b) updates your PATH environment so adb is available from any folder. Seeing that message is a strong indication that that install either failed or was not performed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Thanks, the additional info from [MENTION=7579263]Hhzi[/MENTION] may be all I need to proceed from here.

Congrats on your newborn and also recovering your data. A solid vote for always backing up your data before playing with root stuff on your phone -- something I wasn't going to bring up until you said you were able to recover that data. :)

Mine went flawlessly with V5, but I had already previously flashed V2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] xboxexpert:
Until I play around with fixing the issue with out a full restore which I'm going to do in about 5hrs please take down the file until we figure this out. Too many issues to keep it up just to have people with issues having to perform my future fix. Put pending until further notice. I'm quite sure its the framework file because a logcat is showing me some issues with the camera function not calling a reference. Doesn't make sense but I don't care to figure it out because my data is backing up in another adb function.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] djh816:
That was my case as well for a working v5. I went v2 first then v5. Odd that v5 directly isn't working

I checked through the play store and my SU is up to date. Should uninstall and install or something?

Really looking to see what I can do about this heat other than the V5 flashing. Battery drain is pretty tough. I tried to install BusyBox but it said it could not be installed. Could that be the issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] djh816:
the debloat fixes cpu stuff in v5 but seems others are having issues going to 5 directly. I and some others that successfully flashed v5 started on v2 bloat script initially and then flashed v5. If you don't install the debloat script you'll need something like kernel adiutor to change governor to on demand or interactive but there may still be other fixes for that in v5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Rhubarbb:
I started with V2 and then flashed V5. I also used Kernel Aduitor to change the CPU governor to ondemand. I've also tried Interactive. No luck. Battery has drained 13% in within the past 20 minutes. Could BusyBox be part of the issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] djh816:
Can't say I installed it but all it should do is install binary files. No services afaik.

For those who freeze on Verizon 4-dot that need to re-flash stock ROM, in "CSC" of Odin, choose "HOME_CSC_....." and your app and config will be maintained. Choose "CSC_....." will wipe all app and config.

Sure I'll give it a go. Just a heads up though, When I go to create a message in the messaging app I get that it's an invalid recipient. This I believe is a side affect of XPosed and I went into the buildprop and fixed it but when I installed V5 its' back to that error again. Do you know if the script affects the messagerecipient field?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
I guess the engineering kernel agrees more with AT&T phones than other variants.....because I'm on g930a at&t with ph1 firmware and my phone functions almost identical to me sons exact same make and model, although he's on pi2 I believe. Either way, the only thing I did was apply the v15 fix and freeze a couple of update apps in titanium backup. If I'm doing some heavy phone use my phone gets a little warm but so does my kids doing the same thing. I get about 5 hours of constant on use, that's Internet surfing, texting, photos, some video thrown in too plus with Max screen brightness with no auto dimming, just max bright. I can easily go a full day until a recharge with moderate usage......my kid can't even go to the end of school without recharging. He usually runs dead by 2pm and sticks it on the charger as soon as he gets home. So at&t users have nothing to worry about, go ahead and root it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] faslane:
Yeah it must because Ive been rooting and romming, tweaking kernels with trickster and the like and no matter What I tried I couldn't get it stable at all. Factory rest and redid everything twice, tried various methods if the V15 file, even the newer one and it just never worked at all. I'd get so many FC'S I couldn't even set it up all the way the first time, then I got further and it was stable but huge battery drains, wifi not sticking even after the fix for it, just a series of things and I didn't want to constantly be managing my phone ibstead of enjoying it when I wanted without running into another issue so I just did the U firmware and PK1 MODEM and restored my Smart Switch backup and it's been the best it's ever ran and LTE is super fast and at home I'm in wifi and use wifi calling because I have plaster walls and get a crappy signal so T-Mobile sent me a free AC wifi router (just had to pay shipping) many people got them when they had a promotion if you git bad in home service and it's awesome...I slapped a Linksys extender on it so I could get wifi in the back yard and it rocks.

Yeah I'm running U firm and APK1 Modem on T-Mobile of course but not rooted and get about 10 hours with no greenify or any batt savings apps except the built in power saver fir apps that saves power by shutting down an app if not used in 3 days but that's it. I don't run a lot of widgets and only have two hone screens setup. The more screens and widgets the more power to run it all so I keep most things in one screen (categorized folders of apps) and widgets on the other and that's it. Runs great.

I followed all your guides even the ones with amplify and greenify. Unfortunately I feel this kernel is allowing for high Android System battery usage. I feel like I debloated most the stuff too. Could installing a custom rom help or maybe a different kernel?

Stuck and Confused

Okay, so I just got the S7 regular from ATT. SM-G930A to be exact, after noticing how buggy root was on the S7 I tried going back to stock, which I figured out you cant do for mine (right?) I am/was on G930AUCS2APH1 rooted, however trying to get this fixed the best way, I followed these instructions:

I just flashed using Odin and Billa's package, now after what seems like ages and after already getting tired of waiting and wiping data and cache in recovery mode, I am sitting on the "Samesung Galaxy S7" boot screen with the unlocked padlock for atleast 15 minutes. I Don't know what to do anymore, I have tried what feels like hundreds of firmware, BL, AP, CS files, at this point I feel so stupid and just really want my phone back to normal or the way saf4xdadev got it working.

If you are missing more information let me know, this is my first post here.

If your on a later, as in newer, firmware there no going back unless you load one of the custom roms, I think some versions are based on the pe1 firmware. Not really full return to stock on older firmware but close.

---------- Post added at 08:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 PM ----------

I've heard good things about the custom roms, stang5litre and Echoe, but it really boils down to your phone variant. It seems some carrier variants just don't take to the engineering kernel like others do.

If you were orinally on ph1 then this will work. Just follow instructs.

As for any problems you had getting root I haven't got a clue. You should have used Princecomsy's odin but I think you should have just got errors if using wrong one. To return to stock don't use Princecomsy Odin use the other one.

I flashed S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_V15.zip and S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_Debloater_V15.zip. Those are the only ones that don't mention the earlier firmware version. But I still have some remaining issues that are probably resolved by the ZIPs for the older firmware. Is there no way I can resolve some of those problems? For example, forgetting WiFi passwords or being really slow and quickly draining battery.

EDIT:

I just flashed them again and it seems to have made some changes. It's too soon to tell about the CPU and battery issues but I see the VoLTE icon is gone, so perhaps it did more than that, we'll see.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
What phone variant and what firmware version. The wifi passwords is freezing securitylogagent in titanium backup, if I'm remembering correctly. You only flash one zip, fix or fix+debloat. Not sure if that matters though. As long as you're on newer firmware like ph1 or above then the old pe1 fix causes problems from what I've read. Once the fix is flashed I recommend the freezing thing in titanium backup, just like 3 things that have to do with updates and the securitylogagent. Also make sure supersu loads with boot, that's important. Then wipe cache and reboot a few times and make sure fully charged. The phone will settle out and learn stuff over the next couple days and should be great after that.

On the other hand it seems there's a couple variants or firmware versions that just don't act right or take to the engineering kernel like they should, so if that's your case......time to punt.

You could also try one of the custom roms or the U firmware that some have had good success with.

As long as you have your stock firmware or a way to return to stock then you're pretty good to go with fiddling around and testing things out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] PRL77:
So the VoLTE icon is gone and WiFi password remembered after reboot. It still seems a bit laggy, speed wise, but too soon to tell about battery life. I think the +debloat takes out the securitylogagent for WiFi passwords. SuperSU loads at boot. About to wipe cache.

Galaxy S7 (not Edge), G930VVRS4APH1

Is there a custom ROM you would recommend? Is there a good guide for the install? I've never done it but I'm an IT guy so I can figure most things out. The only reason I hesitate is that I run hundreds of apps and they sometimes only work with stock ROMs and not custom.
