You may need to perform a factory reset and follow the directions regarding the activation. It sounds like issues with some apps that are disabled. I've not seen any issues like that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] thedrizzle:
I did a factory reset before root because I couldn't get root to work initially. I guess I can do another one.

MMS is weird too. Only works when not connected to a WiFi network.

Also what's the deal with Xposed? Just tried to install via Flashfire and bricked the phone. Reinstalling PE2 through Odin to get back to normal.

Hey I'm just curious but I just received my g935v about an hour ago I turned it on long enough to turn on USB debug mode and skim thru the settings. I could be way behind on things but I've been following the forums for this phone for about a week now and I haven't heard anyone mention the "maintenance boot menu". I seen the options to factory reset-warning deletes all data and applications, safe mode-disables all third party apps and a couple more. Just thought I'd throw this out there because like I said I hadn't heard anything about it. Oh and I'm planning on rooting with this process this weekend when I'm off work and just wanted to say thanks to everyone making it possible you guys are the greatest

MOD EDIT: Removed full quote of the OP.

Does it matter what update version I'm on? I have a Verizon G935V on the very first shipped update, I froze the package manager the moment I got it just in case root came along. Does it really matter what update I'm on? :confused: I just want this to go as smooth as possible :o
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] lahegry:
I would suggest updating to the newest for this month. Also since you have used package disabler, for best results be sure to factory reset to avoid problems. Package Disabler leaves residual issues when using the engboot that WILL cause issues if not reset before trying to root.

Are the issues with the phone being very hot to touch that serious? There has to be some strange variables attributing to this other than simply root. I'm still stock and not rooted, but I've had my phone exceed 100 degrees and all simply because of hot hot it is outside where I am, no matter how hard I try to just keep it in the shade and not even use it. lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Argyrus:
That I know of the phone is always hot. I live in Florida and my phone stays around 100 degrees. You have to understand that the phone runs an octocore cpu with a hich clock. You will not be able to keep the phone cool mainly because of it. Hell even my PC's CPU runs hotter than my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] GigaSPX:
Ha, what part of Florida? I'm in the northern part and that still doesn't justify anything about the location of "north". It's been way too hot.

Even though while it is a powerful smartphone, something is triggering it to continually run the CPU to high temperatures than normal being on root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] dajmanjt:
Are you sure about your findings regarding package disabler? I have EZ disabler installed and many things frozen. Went through the rooting process with absolutely zero issues. Been running for a full day now with zero issues. Pretty sure the engboot does NOT have issues with packages being disabled within ez disabler or package disabler. The only reason today I unfroze everything with EZ disabler is because I wanted to use Titanium to remove and modify everything now that I have root. Unless you can quote some sources for your findings I would say from my experience leaving everything disabled is completely ok. YMMV of course.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] lahegry:
Not just my findings. reading through the multiple threads regarding this rooting method it's been stated multiple times about people having issues. I'm just trying to help prevent any POSSIBLE problems of the many that have been known to cause problems. But again this is just my 2¢.[emoji12]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] mugsy77:
I would think someone with knowledge can look at logcats for those with high temps, no? Or the app that monitors kernel logs, forget name.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] dajmanjt:
Yea same here, just my 2 cents as well. I just haven't seen anything about package disabler issues in the root threads I checked, but then again I didn't look too hard before diving in. I agree that reducing the variables helps eliminate possible issues. Plus once the phone is rooted I highly recommend switching from any disabler app to Titanium anyways.... its the best imho.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] spiderbolt:
Were would I find the security log agent to be able to freeze it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Dameon87:
I personally did not run into any of these issues.

The steps I followed were simple.

Re enabled packages with package Disabler.

Followed root process.

Disabled packages with package Disabler

Modified build.prop to disable secure store.

Used fix to fix icons (volte)

Installed kernel adiutor and set to on demand and apply on boot.

Installed flashfire

Installed xposed

Profit.

I did no wipes. I think a lot of the issues y'all are having is with apps.

I've run into no lag issues except on boot until on demand is set in the background. Tip: let your phone sit for 30 seconds when it hits the lock screen on reboot.

I've also not run into heat issues except on boot before the on demand governor is set.

Does rooting breaks the fingerprint reader (api from google)?

Anything I had that used Samsung's API for fingerprint works fine, anything that uses Google, including the play store, when trying to load the finger print just FC that app

Seriously the best thing I have done for my Verizon s7 edge is flash the U firmware, which erases everything, and root again starting from scratch. My phone is getting great battery life now with being rooted and it runs super cool. I might set up a tutorial to show the steps I used, because to fix some issues with the U firmware i imported the modded CSC file, imported the ims app manually, and changed some settings in the build.prop. But it was totally worth it. It's like a new phone.
