Guys justed flashed the v15 on my 935P variant. Im runnin the 935U firmware, havent had any issues so far (30min).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] xTGoldenHero:
I'm on G935VVRU2APB5 I'm guessing that's an older version.. So what do I have to do to get to the newer firmware? Sorry a noob here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
I guess it's not really clear what exactly you mean by 'wipe'... do you mean you performed a factory reset in recovery to wipe your userdata? If that fixed you, cool and yes you're still rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Soooperstar:
I'm with Sprint on G925P and it works for me PB5 that is
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] airric00:
Yes went in and factory reset and then it loaded.. guess if anyone else gets stuck, that works...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Glad to hear. :)

Yeah PB5 is one of the earlier builds. Make a backup of whatever user data you want and move anything in the internal SD card off to an external one or your PC (this includes photos and videos you've taken) as they will be DELETED entirely from the internal memory. Once you're satisfied with your backup, go through my unroot process which will have you flash a stock PE1 build from Verizon. Then proceed with my root guide.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Tikerz:
It's been the same really. I'm about to go back to stock so I can stop messing with this stuff. Lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jsanta11:
Funny you mentioned that, just finished downloading the stock firmware, was debating the same lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Shadow Giratina:
Got another problem. I'm sorry.

I've just straight up factory reset my phone and that fixed a lot of my problems. Exept for one: I can't seem to install apps off the play store. If I try to pay for an app, the Play Store crashes and force closes. However, when I try to install a free app, the "Downloading" bar scrolls forever and then it finally spits out "Unable to install the app". This is occuring to every app I try to install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
A similar thing was happening for another user until they did a clean unroot/root (this was in my performance tweak guide on like page 3 in comments). They were having issues making any in-app payments.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ickedmel:
Hi psouza just wanted to say thanks for the great guide, I had to go slow but everything worked out great. I wonder when we will have roms and stuff we can flash. Think next I'll try to do your tweak guide. It's really nice having xposed back.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] airric00:
Was just about to ask that question. I didn't update before I flashed the root...

I wouldn't take that update yet, they will build it into the custom roms once they come out here soon...

Use root checker from play store to see if you have root
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
PSA: don't take OTA updates (freeze that package if you haven't yet) -- OTA can update the bootloader which can lock out the engboot and/or prevent us from flashing earlier stock images. Keep the version you already have, for now.

I just disabled L speed and ran without it but the phone feels A LOT smoother/faster with L speed ON (no cpu modifications). Just throwing that out there, you guys should try it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] cuezaireekaa:
Can you show us a screenshot or two of the pages where you changed settings? I only change like 3 things as of now but I'd like to see your smooth setup. :D I do notice a slight increase doing ftrim and smoother scrolling.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Wildcat2083:
hey I just seen in your first page about the two blank spots in the settings, the exposed frame work your showing the 85.x their is an 86 version compatible with the s7 or edge phone from the same developer, when i used that the two blank spots no longer were there, just a fyi
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
They're there because of a CSC setting in /system/csc/others.xml (or feature.xml) because of misbehaving/incompatible Xposed modules. My flashable update will fix this (on every reboot) and is not related the version of the Xposed framework you have installed. Thanks, though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Wildcat2083:
oh ok, well i just thought id toss that out there, its hard to keep up sometimes, your developing the scripts super fast lol and I wasn't aware of the new fixes, but its good to know of the changes and updates across the board anyway
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JAYNO20:
I have pretty much everything turned on minus cpu stuff and anything that says specifically it will use more battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] cuezaireekaa:
outofthx but right on. I enabled a lot of stuff and indeed. This thing is flying. Well see what the battery is like this week.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Zameus:
I've been out of the Android/Flashing ROMS, firmwares, custom recoveries scene for about 4yrs now, and I just came back and flashing this on my new SGS7Edge, and let me tell you how more intuitive things are compared to several years back. Thank you all who made it possible to get root on this device. This tutorial couldn't have been any more easier. I think my grandma could have followed this tutorial to the T. Thanks all! Much appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ickedmel:
How can I freeze this? I installed titanium back up and searched is there a specific name?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Exleh:
Followed your instructions exactly. Got root, got the script installed, turned off animations and my phone is still very slow and laggy. Apps that were open in memory don't open instantly, scrolling lags, and the phone gets warm quickly. Am I missing something? How do I change the CPU governor and which is the best option? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
You don't! Most CPU management apps don't understand our different core cluster (Kernel Aduitor fails horribly, for example), so don't try to change the governor or frequencies manually. Try flashing my fix or fix+debloat script again. Reboot, let it reboot once more if need be, and then let it sit a few minutes to settle (startup scripts doing their thing, apps opening, syncing, idling, Play Store service updating stuff, etc.).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ThexRez:
I just did the v15 debloater and fixes and it has made my phone run faster but it didnt get rid of hangouts and the other apps it said it would? Do you have the full changes?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Exleh:
Alright. I just reflashed it. I never did a full wipe. It seems better but still not as quick as stock but I guess it's a trade-off?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Kodalades:
I just want to report that from flashing V14, after a few reboots, the persistent "Searching For Service" became a problem again. I don't know what caused it. Just flashed V15 and service is back. I'm hoping it sticks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Skizzy034:
We've had pf2 on the AT&T version for a while now and it works fine with root.

---------- Post added at 11:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 PM ----------

Anyone know what software update package to freeze is called on the U FW? There are two if then that say software update. I just want to freeze the one that updates the device FW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ThexRez:
1 issue i found with the v15 debloater and fixes for my verizon s7 edge is that. Sometimes when i restart my phone doesnt have any vibration or i it takes a long time for my battery percentage to go up. Now they both happen at different times. Never at the same time
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JAYNO20:
I give you a lot of credit, man. You've done a great deal for the s7 development and you remain calm in the face of repeated questions over and over and over again. It drives me insane! Seriously though, keep up the good work. I appreciate all the effort. You've made my phone run like stock again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Zameus:
Same here. Curious what are all the "other" apps that were removed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] thekojac:
I flashed back to PE1 today from the U firmware and followed the instructions. Everything works pretty well (Xposed, VIPER, etc.). I flashed v15.

So far the only issues I've noticed are heat and lag for about a minute on boot and the "security notice". Other than that, it's been fairly smooth.

One thing of concern, though is I've noticed the CPU heats up to 50-60c when doing some tasks on the phone and gets a bit warm. It cools off pretty quickly, and I'm not sure if these are similar temps it would be reaching unrooted, but it seems kinda high. Highest I saw it go was 90c right after rooting and applying the script before everything had a chance to stabilize (I checked all of this with EX Kernel Manager. I did not alter any settings in it... was just using it to check thermals and CPU load).

All in all, great work, though! It's definitely usable in this state and far, far better than it was when root first came out, that's for sure!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Must4ngGT:
HELP!!

Someone help me restore and unroot s7 edge att stuck at att logo!HELP!

I tried flashing G935AUCU1APB5_ATT1APB5_ATT_USA_v6.0.1_Repair_Firmware and didnt work, tried on many different ODINs
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jaxwithanx:
So I like to consider myself a pretty good instruction follower but after rooting and running custom roms for years on multiple devices sometimes you can get a little lax, skim over a bit of information expecting it to be going the way you are used to doing it....that being said I've never hard bricked a device and because this root is still so new I really made sure and checked my p's and q's....

But the first time I ran the engboot through Odin with the instructions in this post I soft bricked my phone (stuck at the carrier splash screen, T-Mobile) it was there 10+ minutes and was getting hotter by the minute. Luckily I didn't just walk off and leave it to do it's thing or I fear damage was possible. Odin said everything went fine and the phone rebooted but it was stuck on splash screen and working towards meteor status (for instance, it was almost a little hard to hold the phone long enough to reboot into recovery or download mode again). I rebooted back into download and tried the flash probably 4 more times and each time Odin said everything was great but it stuck. So finally I rebooted to recovery and factory wiped.....still stuck on splash screen. Which then left me with only one choice, Odin stock firmware and luckily that went through.

I followed the process to a T again, as I had a suspicion what went wrong and this time everything went great. So here comes the point....

If you have enabled secureboot, for instance PIN on boot, don't just turn it off as I did and expect it to be OK. Reboot your phone again and make sure it's off. I originally had it enabled, I turned it off as OP suggested (checked twice) and then went through with the process. I personally think that a reboot is necessary to finalize that setting. After flashing phone back to stock firmware, loading all my old apps, deciding I wanted to try again...the only difference was I never enabled secure boot and all was well. Judging from exactly where my phone froze and the fact it continued obviously running some type of code as it continued to heat and heat....I have to believe that was the issue.

1. If you have secureboot on, turn it off, reboot, and make sure.

I just caught up and for a few pages I felt like people (or a particular person) was just trolling HARD. I was pretty active in the days of hybrid OSes for BlackBerry and I know how trying it can be to set things out clearly, only to have the exact same questions I answered in the OP asked again and again and again throughout the thread. I'm impressed with the incredible patience and the sense of community here on xda. Cheers
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Tikerz:
Wrong section. This is the Verizon thread. In the AT&T S7 Edge forum there is a stock firmware flashing guide. Go there and read.

---------- Post added at 12:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 AM ----------

I think we will have to wait until ODIN files are released for new OTAs because we have to flash the ENG boot on top of the latest version OTA. Am I right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Skizzy034:
Can GB for MM and Wanam for MM b3 downloaded from the closed app or do you need to download from somewhere else? I don't see MM versions in the the download section of the app.

I really just want the NFC with screen off tweak but GB doesn't have it. I know XTouchwiz has the option but you said it's not good to use that app. Is there any way I can just change that setting myself using a file Explorer?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] clabern:
Not sure if this is at all relevant to anyone but interesting none the less...

I have a G930V (Verizon) that I got to use with Cricket, wholly aware that it "doesn't" support band 17 (main LTE band for Cricket/AT&T). Well, after flashing the G930U (US Unlocked S7) firmware I now have band 17 unlocked! This is incredibly awesome, and good to know for anyone looking to use a G930V on AT&T/Cricket/etc. Also bonus of no Verizon bloat/etc out of the box! It's also weird or perhaps just my imagination, but my signal quality/strength as a whole seems much improved vs stock G930V firmware (IE - HSPA is much better than it was).

At this point I'm running stock without rooting to see how long I can make it... though I suspect I'll move on from the phone before that point anyways.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ajthemacboy:
I'm getting horrible battery drain with Xposed installed, even without any modules enabled and/or with only Amplify enabled. I originally followed the Performance guide in the main post to the letter and was getting horrible battery life, even while idle. Uninstalling Xposed using the uninstallers on the repo fix it instantly. I've tried clearing my cache, checking for processes using lots of CPU with BetterBatteryStats and Wakelock Detector, and even re-rooting, but nothing seems to be draining that much or fixes it, other than removing Xposed completely. (In the battery menu in settings, Android OS and Android System account for almost 75% of the battery.)

Anyone have a clue as to why this could be happening or how I can fix it? Is there another build of Xposed I can try?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] airric00:
It stayed rooted, I was able to install flashfire and install the fixes and exposed. So I guess it just hung up and needed a clean wipe then is started right up.. Can't wait for some ROMS
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Woo, so much to reply to when I wake up in the morning... okay, let's take a crack at all this:

Edify scripts (flashable update scripts) can't delete system apps that have been updated. Uninstall the app updates through the Play Store and then try the flash again and you'll see that it will remove them properly.

Shouldn't have to be -- check my guide again, maybe re-flash SuperSU, my V15 fix+bloat, my deep debloat V2, and look into my advanced performance/tweak guide. My experience is way, way faster than stock.

Hey, thanks guys! Doing what I can. :)

My unroot guide in the first post now includes stock firmware for AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon. You can use it to unroot your phone.

I'll need to update my guide -- thanks for sharing your experience and notes!

Honestly, I'm not sure -- someone brave will probably have to try stuff out and see if it breaks them.

I'm not having that issue at all with Xposed here, so it may be something else. Did you use my fix or my fix+bloat? And what version did you flash (we're currently at v15, released yesterday)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Seems like fast drain, but I dunno how long your screen was on and how high your brightness is, so that's hard to say. Here's my phone last night overnight (off the charger):

Average use how many hours are you getting on your battery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ajthemacboy:
I applied fix+bloat v15, just re-rooted last night to try to fix it, and it's fine without Xposed. Even with just something like a YouTube adblock module it drains. There seem to be other reports of this online as well.

Also I have a question about the CPU governer; in the original thread you said to set the governor to ondemand manually, but your script automatically sets it to interactive. Sometimes my device gets pretty hot (60-65) without doing anything intensive (like gaming) when it's set to interactive, but setting it to ondemand seems to help it. Should I leave it on ondemand and apply it at boot, or should I use one or the other because that's what Samsung uses by default?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
I can't really answer that because I've been so busy in this thread testing stuff on my phone (my S7 is my daily phone), so I ruin it pretty quick if I'm not testing on the charger.

That's really peculiar -- let me know if you come up with a resolution, I'm curious to see what becomes of this.

Samsung uses 'interactive' by default... my main post does say to use 'ondemand' or 'interactive' (and I may just drop 'ondemand' entirely) and should actually give you a small performance and (very slight) battery improvement over 'ondemand'. If you're not seeing that, try the patch again and make sure you don't have any other CPU tweak tools installed. Try Simple System Monitor if you want to just watch the CPU vs. set it.

I'll look around and see if I can find anything that will help. I've found the app "ForceDoze" to help a lot with standby time but other than that I don't know. One more question; do you recommend any apps for disabling Wakelocks? Also what's the best way to get a full backup without bootloader access? ADB?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Amplify. I have a guide that includes configuring Amplify, Greenify, and LeanDroid together.

Titanium Backup, hands down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
What do you mean by full backup? [MENTION=1599591]psouza4[/MENTION] mentioned Titanium backup, which is great if you are referring to app backups. When I think of full backup, a complete backup of the system and data comes to mind. That way I can restore my phone to the exact point that it was before I fubar'd it. FlashFire has a GREAT backup and restore feature. I personally use both apps, FlashFire for full backups and Titanium for app related backups.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Exleh:
Okay well the phone seems to have settled and yeah it's on par with stock at least. I am noticing a bit quicker battery drain but I haven't gotten the chance to check out your advanced guides.

Tweaking is a non-stop battle, but a lot of fun! :) I'm getting similar results (only 1% or 2% drain) with my phone off of the charger at night. I discovered early on that the AOD (Always On Display) was keeping my device awake indefinitely. Once that was turned off, the allowed for wakelocks diminished significantly. Since I'm not a very heavy user, I can literally go for days now without a charger versus pretty much one day previously.

Pretty sure I replied to that already -- I uploaded a copy of AT&T PF2 in my unroot guide in the first post. It's not PE1, but it is stock/official from your carrier and you can use it to return to stock. PF2 is an OTA update to the PE1 you're looking for.
