I just randomly started getting the same message. "ims service has stopped" when trying to place calls. Very odd. Tried re-applying the imsservice.apk and same problem. Cleared ims service data, same. Rebooted, same. Cleared dalvik cache same. I never made any changes either. Very strange.

Oh well. Turning off Voice Over LTE until I find a fix.

Never use home, only tmo csc. Home csc isnt full stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] HolyGrail:
Disregard...answered my own question.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] mrbigdrawsz:
Anybody else had issues where everything is working fine for weeks, then everything starts to crash one day? Then, you reboot and get lost at the white T-Mobile screen and never got beyond that.

No new apps installed, no particular updates. Running Greenify and a few apps disabled, but again...nothing new installed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] AKW:
That actually did happen to me. I tried everything I could think of and the only thing that solved it was flashing full stock unfortunately. I re-rooted, flashed Viper, TEKXv2 and Xposed and so far so good. If I get any more problems, I'll be going back to stock full time until a more stable root is found or the Note7 comes out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] mrbigdrawsz:
Yeah, this has happened to me twice. The first time it corrupted my SD card as well. I took at shot, but happened again after a few weeks. Disappointed because I definitely want to be rooted, but can't have this happening. Going back to stock and using one of my JOD options to check out the HTC 10. Hearing pretty good things about it, but definitely would rather have a "freed up" Samsung. Might be time to move on since they've started locking down everything and that doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

Sad, but gotta move on or stick with stock. Going back to stock and we'll see what happens. UGH!!!! Hoping I like this HTC but my last experience with them (a long time ago...HTC Rezound) put such a bad taste in my mouth I never went back. Hopefully they've sured up some things.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Kaczman:
Any idea when we can expect a custom recovery? I just rooted but after looking at the last 10 messages I am reflashing stock firmware. Im going on vacation and dont want a bricked phone when I have no computer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] AKW:
Well the only reason we have root is because an engineering kernel was leaked, so unless an engineering bootloader is leaked as well, the answer is more than likely never.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Kaczman:
Thanks. Is there an easier way to unroot rather than flash entire firmware?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] AKW:
Negative. A Smart Switch backup and clean flash of stock is the only working option at this point.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] DOMF:
Yes, two nights ago I kept getting errors on my phone that lots of apps were crashing (like play store)

I rebooted, and it got stuck at the t-mo logo and got really really hot. Booted into recovery and it tried installing an update, so I think it might have been related to the latest OTA? I had to re-flash stock to get a functional phone again. So disappointed, need a bit more stability on my phone so I can't have root until that's figured out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] mrbigdrawsz:
EXACTLY what happened to me...this is the second time. No updates the first time, but this time there was an update trying to be pushed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] IoNova1:
Same for me, worked for about two weeks then all of the sudden everything started crashing. Google play services was the first one to crash , second time this happens to me. I wont be returning to stock, i'll try to keep root and disable OTA hopefully that would stop it from happening again. I'll report back if it does.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
Probably need to do a wipe and clean install to get it back. Hope you had some kind of backups.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] seanvree:
Some thing happened to me. What process needs to be frozen to stop this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] AKW:
I don't think it's that simple. It's likely a bug that comes with using an engineering kernel as a daily driver, kind of like the battery drain and the slight over-heating. It is what it is right now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] DOMF:
I think that answers the question in your sig then ;)

Please help me

I'm about throw my phone against the wall someone help me before I do that. I've literally been doing exactly what the tutorial says over and over and over again for 4 hours now. It always does the same damn thing, it installs SuperSu but no root access. Everytime this fails I reflash the stock firmware but I've been doing this for 4 hours now and I've gotten no results. I'm starting to think this root method is just a joke, cause it has not only caused me to wipe my data but also wasted the past 4 hours of my life. Can someone please walk me through this or something I'm so frustrated I can't get this working
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Sakuryu:
Weird issue, no clue why... My phone started reporting Amazon services crashing(Kindle, Amazon Music, Amazon Store) So I rebooted my phone, now it's stuck at white T-mobile
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Strike99Fear:
I just got done rooting and I see that everytime I open an app it plays the sound even when my phone is on mute and my media volume is all the way down? Anyone can help me?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] seanvree:
Wow, thanks kinda scary.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] cuezaireekaa:
If you do throw it, do you have another phone to record it and up it to YouTube? Id love to see this.

As for your root problem, it sounds like you're just not giving enough time for the SuperSU grant access pop-up to display. It takes almost a couple minutes to pop up on root apps because of the slow cpu at first when you root. As soon as you can get a kernel tweaker/or psouza4 tweaks, change the governor to interactive. Anyway that's what I think is going on here.

Factory reset in recovery or Odin stock firmware. This has been happening to people. Hope u had a bkup. No clue yet what's causing it but ill say it's the engboot..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] shirsch:
Yeah, that happened for me too. I had to open a couple of apps that use sound, turn the volume back up, let it reset the sound, then you can turn it back off using the slider. It should stick after that.

Hopefully you didn't have what happened to me. My finding this bug was with pornhub. The wife was not amused. :eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] HolyGrail:
In volume there are four areas you can change. Ringtone, media, notification, and system. Apparently mute only works on ringtone notification and system. It doesn't work on media which is the one apps use. So you gotta turn that one down manually. I don't know if it's a bug or intended.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] 0O00O0O00O:
You're taking more time to insult people than to just say "It's in this thread already, just do a search!".

We've all started from the ground up before, no need to act all mighty up upon your horse. There's a lot of confusing information out there and you're insulting people who are just asking questions.

Sure, it may have been asked before. Then, just say so, "Oh, someone already brought that up, you can see the explanation in this thread", etc.. If you're nice to those who come to you, they are bound to stay around longer. The question I asked above had a two letter answer, "No". English isn't even my native language so sorry for not understanding 100% and realizing there's search functions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Strike99Fear:
That seems to work for me in a way. But the slider for media is all the way down sometimes and it'll still play sound. I have to raise the volume and lower it down again. I fix I found is not much of a fix but if you download GravityBox and go to Media Tweaks and click on Force Media Control. You can just raise the volume a little and then lower it. Then when you open an app it won't play sound. Works for me but I wish I could understand why it plays sound even when the media volume is all the way down? :( :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Gankedd:
So I got root running successfully at least according to Root Checker. I'm extremely new to Android and the root scene. Is there somewhere i can get more information on the scene?

I'd like to get rid of the Verizon splash logo/bloat ware, the security warning after the root, and install xplodr

Would suggest the Verizon threads - especially with respect to the first item.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] pantmunu:
My first experience with root was somehow pretty OK except the overheating issue while the phone is booting up as the scripts were being loaded. Few lags here and there and some occasional crashes. So I went back to stock. Which pretty much deleted all my data and I started from scratch. No unnecessary apps, I don't game on my phone except for pokemon go. After setting up all the apps and updating them I rooted my phone ... and I use those fixes from Verizon s7 thread (props to the op) and let the phone style down. After that I installed exposed. Now my phone is not leggy nor it overheats explcept when it boots (is not overheating like crazy though).

Just be sure to Uninstaller any unnecessary apps and don't install useless modules on exposed. Also let the phone settle down after you boot it as the scripts are still running.

Also found out that lspeed was causing more issues than any benefits. So Uninstalled it. Froze all unnecessary apps too from titanium back up.

Anyone complaining ..try to root from scratch. Bea patient. My battery life is as it used to be in Stock. I don't have any lags or shutters. Pokemon go runs fine and everything else too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Gankedd:
Tragedy struck.... I'm stuck in a boot loop. Just staring at the Verizon logo.

I tried to Flash Fire xposed and now it won't go past that.

I tried Factory reset but the loop persists... I managed to get past it once to set up the phone, It appeared to be working

but froze a few minutes later on the home screen, restarted it and back to boot loop.

Any way I can flash it all back to stock?? Even the custom boot screen is still there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jackscagnetti:
If you read back in this thread there are links and instructions on how to restore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jobalt:
I got the white TMo bootloop after an overnight charging also. I had to do a factory reset from recovery and set everything up again. Is there a way to create a nandroid backup in case this happens again? It is my understanding that you need a custom recovery installed to create one. From what I can tell, your bootloader must be unlocked to install a custom recovery and the US S7 has a locked bootloader. This would mean a nandroid is impossible. Is this correct? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Binary100100:
You can backup with Flashfire, but you'd have to wipe, sign back in, re-download the Flashfire app then restore the backup.

Titanium Backup works pretty well too. But no custom recovery with a locked bootloader.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jobalt:
So a fastboot flashable backup (Flashfire) won't work as flashing a zip file from the stock recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] markm75:
Does this root work on an sm-g935T edge (tmobile)? I thought it was bootloader locked and couldnt work at this time? I've never rooted before, just checking before going forward..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
No - you need to be on a rom already to run it. Thought adb backup would work but no luck so far.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] HiGhDRo3o5:
Like i said, i flash home csc cause my 4glte icon doesnt look the same as stock when i flash regular csc. I just factory reset after and have no issues at all. And ive kept it like that a full day with no issues at all. Dont understand what you mean that isnt stock when it leaves my device in stock condition.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Gankedd:
I tried using the Arm64 one I believe? The one I was told too in the guide. I'm not sure how to use Odin to flash back since I can't actually get into the phone. There's an option in the recovery mode for update from the SD or ADB or something?

Edit:

Reading through the thread I found what appears to be my issue, I need to flash PD8 and start over?

I'm going to keep searching for how to do this and where to find the required files, but help is always appreciated. :)

EDIT2:

I believe I am finally on the right track! I found the Verizon version of the stock files I needed and will be in the process of trying to flash mine back.

I'm off to the Verizon forums now. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Binary100100:
A stock recovery will only flash a carrier or manufacturer update.zip file. Not one signed with testkeys.

Yes. The engineering kernel will flash successfully to enable root access. But there are some drawbacks such as less battery life, more lag and some report random reboots, bootloops that requires a firmware reflash and even phone overheating.

I think I know where the confusion is coming from.

Does your 4G LTE icon look like the one in the picture?

Because this is "stock" for T-Mobile but not for Samsung.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] HiGhDRo3o5:
Yup. That icon comes out when i flash home file. Csc give an icon that is more squared out. Ill tell you though i have no issues at all. Been running great even with xposed and a good amount of modules installed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] AL295:
Sorry beforehand if this has been asked before but I've tried reading through everything and used the search function, but I haven't found a solution.

So I followed the instructions to root and am able to load up my phone, but I can't seem to get past the google 2-step verification. It seems I am unable to receive any text messages. I've tried calling the phone and it just goes straight to voice mail. I've tried the method with Samsung SideSync to bypass the verification step, but it is not working either. I've also tried to re-install to stock and it still doesn't it work. I'm at a loss now. Has anyone encountered this problem?

Edit:

Was finally able to get it to work after I loaded a different stock. Before I used PD8. It worked when I used PG1 and went into recovery and wiped data and cache.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] anrchy666:
Try getting on a pc and go to your google account and turn off 2 step.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] AL295:
I have tried that as well, but then the phone no longer recognizes that account as having synced to it before so it does not allow me to use that account to log-in. It is only letting me uses accounts which has synced to the phone before and if I turn off the 2-step, that account no longer works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] HiGhDRo3o5:
I had same problems, found best way is to reboot, and when it starts searching for the code that is sent just leave your device alone for a few minutes.It will eventually pick it up and allow you to setup your account.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] AL295:
Have done that as well. It's been over 30 minutes. Maybe I'm just unlucky...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Cyb3rk1ll:
Just read this thread from start to finish. With the crashing issues after a few weeks of use I think I will hold off on rooting for the time being.

On a second note, love how the same questions were asked over 100 times. Put at least a little effort into reading and understanding. 2 hours of mostly reading the exact same questions with the exact same answers. :(

Been rooted for a few days, WiFi works after reboot everything is fine. Only thing that bugs me is that I can't get that annoying security message to stop popping up. Titanium backup requires you to pay for the app before you're allowed to disable anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] IoNova1:
just download [Root] App Disabler from the play store and disable security.log.agent
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Binary100100:
Two hours to read the entire thread?

I would have imagined that it would take a little longer.

But good for you! Seriously. I know that it may be lame to say but that seriously makes me happy. And for you to notice that the majority of this thread is repetitive questions is spot on. Yet the newbs that ask them are quick to get upset when those that have been answering them so repetitively get frustrated. But you sir, have sacrificed two hours of time to read which probably saved you twice that or more in fixing something that broke because proper time wasn't taken. That's exactly what I've been trying to get through to some of these people. Why would anyone want to waste 4 or more hours, downloading, reflashing, restoring, wiping, rebooting, backing up, etc when they can spend two hours reading and doing it all right the first time? That's what gets me puzzled. Then they want to blame someone else for them not being able to find the information. That raises my pulse rate!

Again, thanks for taking your time to catch up and I hope that you can contribute to the community.

Root running nice on PG1

Some things I noticed and wanted to share (searched the thread whenever the search function worked and didn't found others with these issues)

1. WiFi keeps forgetting my connections. I have to input my passwords every time I connect.

2. Apps from the Playstore get stuck at 100% when downloading for a long while before actually installing.

Took some work around, sometimes a bit slow reacting but a lot better with Trickstermod cpu setup. Can't complain. Thanks to everyone involved in this. Now I just need some root apps. Been off root for far too long with my devices.

Come on guy, you didn't search or read anything.. Your the umpteenth person to say this.. Read Read Read, then you have the nerve to say that you searched & read already.. I find this very unlikely, as nearly every page in this thread has the same complaints/issues.. This is ridiculous, so many duplicate posts.. Some of you just don't need to use this root method, it's very unstable. It's not like the usual root methods. There's plenty of bugs, I'd suggest you just unroot your phone. & Yes that's been answered 100 times already in this thread. Just wait until a more stable root method is achieved, this isn't for regular users. There's alot of things you must do afterwards to even get it to run ok. Not a great root method as of right now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] WW3:
Once rooted, it seems every few weeks the play store gets corrupt, and the error play store has stopped working pops up. If you restart, it just gets stuck on Samsung logo.

This has happened 3 times now and only flashing stock or flashing modified home_csc with other 4 files brings the phone back to life and then rooting it again.

Anyone else had this happen ? I'm on my 4th restore this morning.
