I was PB1, then I saw you can have the latest update and still be ok with root so I factory reset everything updated to PE1 and the re-rooted. Neither of those 2 builds had that tornado icon and both did the "searching for service" thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
Interesting, which kernel did you flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JAYNO20:
The only one listed for the G930V (Regular S7).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] craazy82013:
Wish it was that easy on this end. Trying factory reset. Honestly i somehow managed to take an update yesterday but havent had any calls or txt since then. I didnt notice it until i rooted today. Doing factory reset now. Then updating to latest. Can i update via the phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JAYNO20:
Just flash the PE1 build (link is on this forum) and then you are updated. You can't do it from the phone once you are rooted. Does your phone say "Searching for service" in the top left on the lock screen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] craazy82013:
Yea it says that. And i figured i couldnt do it from the phone. Ive only got 2.75 hours for that build to finish downloading. Anyone happen to have a copy on another site? Thanks for all the help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JAYNO20:
Are you sure your's doesn't say that up at the top left on the lock screen after a reboot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JAYNO20:
That's right after a fresh boot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] craazy82013:
go to the guide in vzw forum. shows how to get rid of it. Hope that helped

You were right. I rebooted it and kept an eye out this time. It does say search for signal when rebooted, but it goes away after about 3 minutes when the tornado symbol comes up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JAYNO20:
I didn't see anywhere in there a fix for the "searching for service" thing... was this reply for me?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] craazy82013:
No. Sorry dude. It was for CVertigo1. My bad man. I do have mine to the point where i make a call it gets service. so, thats a plus. Still have yet to install SU though.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] downhillvinnie:
So what can we actually do with root on our phones, any mods, performance tweaks?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Yes, yes, and yes. Delete bloat, tweak CPU/cache/performance/etc., theme system apps, Xposed, adblocking, etc. Quite a bit you can do with root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] downhillvinnie:
How about battery life?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Need you ask? It can only improve... we're not flashing ROMs, we're gaining root and have control over stuff like wakelocks and what apps and services can run. Stuff like the Amplify Xposed module gets to do its job, etc.

Oh and another thing root is sorely needed for: Titanium Backup. Helium is okay, but only gets you so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] downhillvinnie:
so i ran everything and i got a bootloop, how do I get back into download mode
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:

Am I extracting a file from the Tar zip?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Don't extract any TAR files. They're used as-is with Odin per the instructions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] downhillvinnie:
Ok did all that and got a pass in Odin
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
The default behavior in Odin is to auto-reboot the phone -- did you do that? Are you simply trying to re-root a bootlooping phone (probably won't help, but also won't hurt) or are you restoring the stock images first (recommended)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JAYNO20:

You have a typo on line 45 of the updater-script ("/ssystem/" extra 's').
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jrkruse:
Thank you

I fixed it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] flawedkaos:
I thought I was the only one with that issue. I also have mobile data turn off when I place a call. The phone drops to 1x then says that mobile data is off while in call. Guess that means I can't text, stream youtube, surf the net, and check emails (all at the same time) while on a call.

Update: after following the recommendation of pushing the imsservice.apk through adb my data being disabled during a call went away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ironbesterer:
Then this needs to go in the S7 edge forum. It has no place here if it isn't for this device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] downhillvinnie:
How come i dont have service, until i make a call
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jayb222:
I rooted successfully yesterday but ran into nothing but trouble after running for awhile. First, after changing the governor to ondemand, phone was still acting much slower than stock. Wake up and after reboot took forever to turn on screen. Every time. Then i got exposed going. Slot of the tweaks weren't working. Then backed up every app in titanium backup so I could start downloading. I could restore an app if the system started acting up, or so I thought. Only problem was it got stuck on every attempt to restore an app.

So I said fine, I'll restore all back and try again. I batch restored and the system to a crap and force closed constantly. Like permissions weren't fixed. Factory reset didn't help either. Everything still force closed. So I went to Odin and unrooted. I will root again in a few after the links have been worked out. It's too unstable at the moment fit me. When we get twrp and an unbloated rom to flash, I'll be back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
It works on our phones, so why is there no place for it here?

[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION], I'm glad to see that you stuck with Samsung. I can't wait to see what you do with this phone! I have a severely debloated ROM almost ready to go, but making the script and flash file have never been my specialty, which is why I always borrowed yours lol. I guess I should probably learn how to do it.

---------- Post added at 08:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 AM ----------

You might be waiting for quite some time for TWRP. In theory, I believe I can make a debloated ROM that can run without root. Root would be needed to flash the ROM, but it might be able to run on the non rooted kernel, so long as no root files are found.

---------- Post added at 09:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 AM ----------

HD voice, yes. I don't use video calling, though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jayfried:
Anyone know how to bypass the hotspot check?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JAYNO20:
I have a feeling this will fix the issue with the "searching for service" and needing too make a call before service is effective as well as the fact that I am not getting HD voice/video calls even though the option is turned on. I'll verify shortly.

Did you have to change permissions after pushing the file? Can the file be exchanged on the phone itself via root explorer?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ironbesterer:
If it works for both, it should be specified if it works for the S7. It was stated that it was for the S7 edge. Not everyone here is experienced enough to know that it would work on both devices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
It did work for me, but it changed my build.prop to read G935V, so I reverted back to the old one. It didn't fix my hotspot, but that probably has more to do with something I debloated. I rarely use my hotspot, so I hadn't previously tested it until just before I flashed that. I guess I'll have to find out what I deleted to kill the hotspot feature.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JAYNO20:
Nevermind it didn't fix either one of my issues. Anyone have any idea why my HD calling isn't working?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jrkruse:
To fix the searching for service issue add these lines to build.prop

persist.radio.snapshot_enabled=1

decompile the framework-res.apk

<integer name="config_mobile_hotspot_provision_check_period">24</integer>

change to

<integer name="config_mobile_hotspot_provision_check_period">0</integer>

recompile
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JAYNO20:
Awesome. Thanks, I'm going to give that a shot now.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jrkruse:
Sometimes you have to login to verizon website on my verizon and disable advanced call features/ hd calling then reboot your phone wait like 10 min then renable it from your phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JAYNO20:
Never mind, that build.prop addition fixed BOTH issues! :good:

psouza4, you may want to consider adding this to your guide.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] SanguiniusWept:
You can reflash to the system image and start over. It was explained very explicitly in the instructions that this was experimental and could have quirks from it being an engineering build. No reason to get upset when the quirks you were told to look out for actually happen to you. Sorry it didn't work for you. Maybe it'll work if you try again. Maybe it won't and you'll have to wait until a better/more comprehensive rooting method is found. If this is the case, you won't be out anything, since until then you'll be in the same position as you would have been if root had never been found.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Ridl3y:
Is there a way to reset the phone without having to reflash an image again? Will reflashing the image mean I have to root it all over?

That option is under Accessibility -> Vision
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] BDragonD24:
I went in the vision section and I'm not sure what option you are suggesting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JAYNO20:
High Contrast Fonts or Negative Colors. Make sure they are both off to disable any kind of color inverting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] BDragonD24:

Sounds like permissions aren't being given to the script. This could be a failure at su (not installed correctly), SuperUser (not prompting for access or you rejected), a firewall program (plenty of them out there, like XPrivacy), etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] mhill1986:
Hmm...all root apps are working correctly, so I think su is installed right. I have for sure given access. I don't run a firewall program as far as I know...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] dkurupt77:
Hi I'm still on pb1 and managed to not take an update yet..still haven't rooted due to watching what unfolds as far as bugs.. any advice from anyone who managed to stay on pb1 and risked trying root.. hoping for insight on whether root is worth it at the moment or would it be wise to continue to stick it out, not update and wait longer..it's getting hard to resist. I've noticed my battery is not quite what it used to be.. I'm sure a combination of pokemon go and age of the battery is attributing to quicker drain.. it looks like battery is a huge issue with root in its first stages..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] wpg9210:
I have been running this root for about 24hrs now. If you follow the directions from the sprint post it works just fine.

Initially there are some things to clean up. The CPU runs at max at first. So install a governing program, I used Kernel Auditor. Set the CPU to OnDemand and set on boot. This will fix the heat,lag,and battery life issues.

Next there are security and system update notifications. The apps that control these are SecurityLogAgent and Securitymanager. Along with SystemUpdates app and service and the stupid Verizon Support and protection app which has like 50 running services. I uninstalled this completely. I used titanium backup and disable service for this.

After that my only remaining issues are a couple odd icons (one looks like a hurricane??) In my status bar and WiFi passwords won't store. Which I am sure I'll figure out soon enough.

So far so good. Root apps are working.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
You won't see custom ROMs, but you will see themes and tweak packages. Our root is achieved very late in the trust chain long after the bootloader does its thing, so we won't get custom recovery or real ROMs you can flash, just mods.

I had the s4 as well, although 5x is also plastic, it feels much much more premium than the s4 and it also feels sturdier (my s4 broke twice in my pocket while sitting, was lucky warranty covered repairs). The camera is awesome, though video is shaky, you can easily enable eis though if you're rooted which fixes it.

The software is also faster and not so bloated, it will definitely feel like a big upgrade.

I swore never to buy samsung phones after the s4 though so maybe my opinion is biased.
