Hello to all. I have my girlfriend an S7 Edge and I would like to provide her with the hotpot. I really do not want to change the ROM for the simple fact, I want no problems with her or the phone. Lol.

I have researched and have not found a clear and trouble free way. Is Changing the ROM the only way? I understand about rooting, I own an S6 on Renegade and Note 4 on Dtux.

Any direction and or suggestions are greatly appreciated. I was looking at the rom but when I saw issues with the camera I decided to wait a bit. I saw use 3rd party, I use Snap Paid on both of my phones, so I understand. She may not. Lol lol

Blessings and thank you in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] xmanz:
Is the phone a g9350. Firstly.. Then why do you want root?

Everything you need to know is on page 1 thanx to davecotefilm

Its is possible to just root and not install rom

But I see no advantage. Rooting will trip the warranty bit . So if it's a g9350. Go page 1. Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ulremember:
Thank you. Ok. I was looking everywhere else. I'll check it out. Yes she has g935p.

Blessings

Sorry, but I see no mention of hotspot activation on page one. I see everything pertaining to root and rom.

Thank you again tho.

Blessings

I see the phone isg9350p. So I don't think anything here is any use to you

This is the Hong Kong g9350 dual sim nothing else

Dev mad cuz all he answers from a single guy is fix the camera.. When im making a snap and exynos kernel for this device, getting cm up with camera, i just dont have time to play decrypt drm to find out whats up with image processing when I cant have samsung camera source to help. Understand now? I know when i show you cm up i will get can you port the camera too. HELL NO. Future reference.

Hotspot is working fine on aurora, but you have the wrong device :/ Must be sd820 Qualcomm
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ulremember:
OK. She has the Snapdragon. Dang. Lol

The only reason I/she needs it is for the firestick I got her and the smart tv. Thank you for your time. I was so trying to get her a note 4. I had gotten her the note 7 (which I wanted also. Nice phone) and we traded it in.

Blessings and thank you again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
If it's an international snapdragon with unlocked bootloader ours should work, try flashing aurora on pg1. If it's a usa locked device, search for engroot, you can root that way.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Hey devs, I heard this on another thread :

" I have a G930U patched with G930A firmware which, among other things, enables FM radio API. So far so good, NextRadio works now but the quality of the reception is awful.... "​

so a patch for fm should be possible on our device. I've asked for the files they used, but I could use some help from everyone here..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
point me to the thread, i already have the module built in to my current kernel, and ramdisk ready. Anyone have stock ch firmware and got the nougat beta? Was released yesterday.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TFutoMaki:
Nougat (G9350ZCU2ZPJL)

Apparently for the nougat firmware, someone had one:

http://bbs.gfan.com/forum.php?mod=v...age=1&filter=typeid&typeid=12782&typeid=12782

(The same forum as the aurora rom)

But it is G9350ZCU2ZPJL and not G9350ZCU2ZPK8 as shown here

:

http://www.sammobile.com/2016/11/18...laxy-s7-and-galaxy-s7-edge-released-in-china/

That might say that he has a 'pre-beta' firmware comparing to the current beta

And uhm I don't have an account to download the files from baidu sadly :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
Downloading it now at 100k cuz of ****ty ass baidu cloud server speed. So 6 hrs it will be done if I can get a better link for my gbit net I'll mirror it to help out.

I also see it's running the same kernel version as pixel so it should be an easy transition to make nougat kernels I hope. Atleast I can check out the ramdisk now.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ioneng:
I posted this in another thread, I guess I might have a better chance to get an answer here:

I'm trying to get my chinese version rooted. I flashed HK stock rom, but couldn't get pass the crom unlock. I downloaded crom from Samsung store, ran it, and it gave me "unable to open application, an unkown error has occurred. try again later". Anyone knows why? I have oem unlock and usb debug on in developer settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Use this one
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] traneupcqk:
I've heard in chinese forum that the camera problem is fixed in android 7.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
still waiting for a beta with oem unlock available in dev options so we can root it and mess with the kernel some.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
This absolutely wouldn't work for me. I wanted to install BL,AP,CP,CSC, then kitchened a zip with root. But right off the bat, after installing original firmware, all errors, chinese writing on bootload screen, recovery auto-erased, just kaput.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
dude you can't. It's not oem unlocked yet. So no root just flash and enjoy what it is.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Dang I can't, drk error, screwed up my efs way back..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
huh what's the issue? you brick the sucker?

Bleeding edge test kernel: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6pe-bp68gMkbG8tNGZ3UjVlVEk beta 11

By any chance one of you reading the thread has a jap version of the s7 edge speak up so I can give you a test kernel too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Haha no, just had to reodin aurora v3 (it fixes the no drk issue whereas flashing hk root doesn't :/ ) Then backed up twrp backup so I'm running latest HKrom and kernel.

So, does this v11 have overclocking yet?? :P :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TFutoMaki:
Nougat on my S7 Edge after a day

Anyone wants some screenshots of that firmware? I currently have it completely stock on my phone and did not trip knox

Anyways, here is my list of pros and cons about it...

Pros:

- Taste of Nougat + the new UX

- Smooth UI

- 3rd party notification for Always On Display

and Clear View Cover

!

- Blue light filter

- Not sure but it feels that fingerprint is faster

- Nice smart manager with profiles: Normal, Game, Entertainment, High, Ultimate.

(Basically the new stuff in Samsung's Nougat)

Cons:

- Unstable (Chrome) and unusable apps (Facebook Messenger) ->

did not test a lot yet

- No google play

- Tons of Chinese stuff integrated with it

- Weather and its widgets display the city's name in Chinese because it uses China Weather (Zhongguo tianqi) instead of accuweather

- Samsung Video is implemented with lots of online Chinese videos.

- Samsung theme store (including icons) does not load

- The keyboard is like the HK one now, with an additional bar at the top of the number keys

- Pre-installed browser does not have google as a search engine option.

- Knox app is not working

- I don't see VoLTE anywhere

Bottom line:

- Battery seems be on par for me comparing to the latest official firmware (G9350ZHU2APJ2). As it was my first day, I think it would be even better if it stabilizes later on.

Please do note that this list is subjective and something might be wrong.

Honestly, I think it is better to wait the official release than using this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Thank you for this! Yes I thought it wouldn't be very useable without root (no Play Store etc..) Great review, and let's see when Android 7 can be cracked wide open:)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
the other beta is much better.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TFutoMaki:
Yeah agreed. I hope someone could pull an update zip file so we could potentially have something closer to the final release :confused:

2nd Dave, please could you clean up the main post here its just kind of cluster fooked ya know. 1 way to root, lets make it simple on noobs here. Root: flash twrp in odin, format data in twrp, flash new supersu, no-verity, done. Put up some screenshots in twrp and what not too, make it dead simple for anyone to follow, even non english (CH) guests. I'm working on getting more CH here instead of the bbs forums to help out with development.

I hope they use radio waves since they are undisturbed in space. I also hope they can get enough thrust to move a few thousand miles per hour to hit places we have not yet. Intelligent species will not be in our solar system we are it. In our galaxy lol hell no.

I know the OP is a bit long, with two root methods. Since I rooted with both methods and didn't use su alone on stock I can't personally confirm su odin works, though I'm 100% sure it does. That coupled with the fact that I am stuck as OP and have to answer Qs on the OP, I'll leave it as is. The OP does explain initial root well, so it serves is intended purpose.

Dave you could do this for me and let me take a rest for a couple days so I am not so burnt, Get my ramdisk zip from github the original one. https://github.com/travismills82/android_ramdisk_sm-g9350

Now here is the Galaxy S5 chinese ramdisk that is cm official: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_klte-common/tree/cm-13.0/rootdir

and chinese variant: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_kltechnduo/tree/cm-13.0/rootdir

they are combined just they use common cuz many s5 variants ya know?

here is where the ramdisk starts https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...m-13.0?after=thJCzpVUzMF8n6ZhHD2dSW4DD9QrMzQ5 to get built for s5

So april 20th to may 2nd commits is what we are looking at for a reference.

Can you do a nice compare and copy what he did ramdisk to ramdisk? If so show me what you got we will go over it and get this sucker up and running properly. Than than when it has cm the phone will last forever since we are not dependant on samsung for future versions and updates and securities.
