Is there any reason for this guide and your other tweak guide to make torrents not work? It appears like every torrent app I get is blocked from accessing the Internet like a required service is not running. Have you tried to download any torrents?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
My advice for both of you is to check your logcat for errors. 99% of the time, you can find out what's dying (usually a frozen app package) via the logcat.

You could try that, or you could use ADB to view the logcat for errors (ADB LOGCAT e:*) and find out if it's fixable by tweaking.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] tygib:
I'm rooted right now and no problems with snap. Where snapchat has been screwing up is when people have Xposed installed after having snapchat already installed. If you don't have Xposed, not sure what's up.

I haven't found a stock app yet that isn't working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Enchinga:
I can't log in to Snapchat either. And uninstalling xposed and rebooting isn't helping. I'm installing the old version too snapchat v9.21.1.0
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] airric00:
It's weird... So I would have to wipe reinstall and not use xposed to make it work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Enchinga:
Yeah, or at least install and login to snapchat before you install xposed. Better yet, before you root and just have it carry over. At least that's what i think; I wonder if there's an app that'll hide your root? Google time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] airric00:

This is a poor-man's fix as it will not appropriately set CPU settings for both big and little core clusters, only the little core cluster. Also it won't re-enable some sleep states so it will still have battery issues.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ^I'm_With_Stupid:
After flashing the fixes/debloater package do I still need to enable ondemand/cpu clock speed/thermal settings in kernel tweaker and kernel toolkit or did the package take care of that and I can just delete those apps?

Edit: just skimmed through the thread, looks like OP [MENTION=1599591]psouza4[/MENTION] says to Uninstall all kernel tweak apps. Thanks for the advice! I'd maybe make that more clear in the original post.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
There's been several people reporting how to get SnapChat to work with root and Xposed. Just depends on the order you have to do things in. It's off-topic here and I don't have that information handy, but search around and you'll find it (I -think- it was in the AT&T S7 root thread).

The guide does mention that CPU-tweaking apps are inferior and kind of assumes you're running the root process from scratch (thus no apps interfering with anything). The reason why you should avoid CPU tweak apps in general is because they don't properly handle CPU core clusters where the cores can operate at different max frequencies (we have 2 small cores in one cluster and 2 big cores in another). Using an app like Kernal Aduitor, for example, will only set options and detect the frequencies of the small cores.

Following the Recommended Next steps in my guide fixes the CPU settings (the v15 version of my fix or fix+debloat). I also have two other guides for debloating and fine-tuning/tweaking performance. I'd recommend giving them a look through.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ^I'm_With_Stupid:
Currently am going through your extended guide. Excellent work, I was just about to unroot my phone until I saw your thread. It was simply too hard to use a phone so hot and laggy, not to mention the 2 hour sot. With your fixes my phone feels like stock!

After about 4 reboots, manually editing the build.prop, wifi began remembering passwords. Weird thing is after editing the prop manually the advance messanging/volte?

Still have to do more tweaks as OP suggested in his extended post with greenify, amplify, ect.

It's all there in the post, honestly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Awesome, glad to hear it's working out for you.

We're all doing different things to our phones. Following my guide to the letter, you should not be able to get OTA system updates.

Weird, but good!

You definitely can, but you'll have to un-root/re-root, so make sure you make any backups before (including the internal sdcard as that gets overwritten in the process).

No, and you won't see them unless we somehow get an unlocked bootloader (incredibly doubtful) or method for second init (unlikely, but I don't know of anyone working on it). Keep in mind the engineer boot image we flash to get root happens very late in the trust chain, so we don't have access to flash a custom recovery and won't be seeing actual custom ROMs for a while. Some people are starting to develop 'ROMs' that are really just mods you can flash with FlashFire (similar to the v15 update available in my guide, which also flashes changes to build.prop, CSC, etc.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] RockyCJC:
I haven't seen a Custom ROM for the VZW Galaxy line since the S4. The S5 got root fairly quickly but never received an unlocked bootloader on the commercial version. I believe it was also the last galaxy to have a Dev version....so there was some Android Dev on the S5 but only on the DEV variant, which was released about 6 months after the original.

The S6 got locked down hard because of the government contract that Samsung was trying to score and because of pressures from Verizon and AT&T. It took much longer for the S6 to get root and never received an unlocked bootloader. The ROM work for the S6 was very limited and only include a small number of TouchWiz based ROMS that were tweaked.

The S7 has taken even longer for root. I get the sense that most of the ROM development has moved on to other devices and away from Samsung. That is not to take way from those that are still left because I'd love to be running a modded/tweaked ROM over stock. I know ellwigy is working on an Extreme Syndicate debloated ROM currently...but that is the only one I am aware of.

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

I think that this Optional must be a mandatory before anyone asks any questions. I received my S7 a few days ago and immediately went ahead and obtained root using psouza's guide (awesome) as well as ran his scripts and performed some of the battery and performance tweaks. I found the phone to still be lacking so I went ahead and went back to stock yesterday and then re-rooted. The phone runs very smooth now and I haven't even done the battery and performance tweaks yet (only ran the debloat script and froze some of the extreme debloat items mentioned in psouza's post).

Anyway, I just wanted to post this to help out everyone to make sure that if you are still running on your first root to give going back to stock and then re-rooting a try as you will be pleasantly surprised at how many issues no longer occur as well as how much better the phone will run overall.

Has anyone found a fix for the Verizon s7e searching for service when you have lockscreen on? Tried using the fix and it makes it to where you can't even send sms. (imsserivce.apk) . Everything works fine its only on lock screen for some reason. Any help would be appreciated . Don't see anything on logs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] thanirs:
What worked for me are the instructions in the awesome guide. i.e., unroot/install to stock (this will wipe your phone) and then root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] highlander07422:
Hello,

My firmware is G930TUVU2APC8. I think this is older than the one in the OP. My question is, do I just flash as the Unroot section in the OP says, or do I need to flash all 5 files in zip file?

Thanks!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
I would absolutely follow the unroot procedure first to upgrade the firmware and start with a fresh state. Then proceed to root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] highlander07422:
Thank You, Yes, I want to start fresh before I try to root,

so dont flash all the files, just flash the 3 stated in the unroot procedure. I was thinking that by not flashing all the files, it would not be a complete upgrade?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
It'll be a complete wipe if you flash the files listed. You don't need to flash the bootloader, but you can if you want. There's also two versions of the CSC file. You want the non-HOME version.

little help

So I followed the guide and everything went fine until the debloat after reboot the phone triggered secure boot and would not start.... I flashed back to stock and got ti working but I can't find where to diable secure boot. under Lock and security screen lock is none.secure startup says to protect your phone data change your screen lock type to pin, password.... just as it was when I flashed the last time...

disreguard apparently I did something wrong the first time as it works fine now....

Should I take the OTA G930VVRS2APF2 update before rooting and following this guide?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Try the other version of Odin posted in my guide instead.

Giving people root is a good way to heave people who screw up their phones with that kind of unrestricted access. If you know what you're doing when you go playing with settings (and have a good escape plan for undoing settings), then you don't have anything to worry about. As we have stock images to flash, even the worst screw-up will usually be recoverable.

You can, but after you take it, I recommend a factory reset (it's helped so many people with issues). Also, you won't get free Wi-Fi hotspot tethering if you use any firmware version other than PE1. If you care about that, then stick to PE1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Toonlinkmaster25:
Thanks for the response! I think everything is the way I want it. If I don't change anything should I be fine though?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] bclay12:
FoxFi works fine on PD1. I wonder if G930VVRS2APF2 allows FoxFi to work still if the native doesn't. I might have to try that. Thanks. I didn't know if the update prevented the current known root method.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Cherry_Cream:
That doesnt make any sense. Why say the other version fixes a bootloop on at&t devices and then say that you have to use the version that causes the bootloop because the one that fixes it doesnt support at&t ? And i had to odin to stock. Phone was "bricked"

Good for you. I still got the sha256 error with 100% stock(thereturn to stock on this tutorial) and all i did was turn usb debugging on

Doesnt matter anymore decided to work on the 2nd try. I just yolod it because i can just flash back to stock if it "bricks" again. Id remove the text saying the other odin works and just say to flash to the stock image on this tutorial and then get the most recent firmware update then try it again

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] j0hnh0lmes:
Factory reset is not a proper return to stock. You were still running the eng boot. Your lucky you didn't brick your phone.

Do you know where I can download verizon software upgrade?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
100% true.

100% false. A factory reset clears your user data and cache partitions. It cannot brick your phone (not even soft brick).

I meant in regards to upgrading from eng boot. You never know what could go wrong.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
It's actually highly recommend that users clear their user data (factory reset or even flash to stock with unroot) in the rooting process. Factory reset is safe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] j0hnh0lmes:
I understand that. My point is - they don't expect you to be on an old non-release boot IMG. You never know what bad effects an upgrade on it might be.
