Yes. It's USA unlocked.

I did see that thread. Afaik it doesn't unlock bootloader. My problems with that are it makes it a lot easier to brick and this is my first Samsung device ever so if I get myself into trouble I could be setting myself up for a huge headache should I screw things up.

But after a few more days without root I might bite the bullet. I can't make adoptable storage work correctly. Apparently Samsung killed that with the 7.0 update. Need root to migrate data.

Ok today I added Xbox controller support, wiimote, and many other gamepads. Added FM Radio and disabled dm_verity in the kernel. many other tweaks/fixes too. I have twrp fixed now also.

If everything is nice and stable I'll release.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Is this a kernel? How can I flash to sm-g9350? What rom flashes with it? Etc..?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:

Here's my boot, it boots aurora v3 that I run as my daily driver (love the rom). I tried your boot.img to test, wouldn't boot:( Can you help me enable FM radio on the boot file I've attached? It's zipped as it was too large to upload, just unzip. I'm trying to play with it's contents but I don't know how to edit a boot.img file.. :/

Dave
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
I didn't try twrp, as I have twrp working perfectly on Aurora rom. Tried the kernel though and unfortunately it wouldn't boot :/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
update :

Flash your boot.img with flashfire, then flash your noverityZIP in twrp recovery. Boots, but no su and no fm radio :/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
no fm radio oooo i bet its in ramdisk and build.prop i need to edit to enable. I know ramdisk for sure I was just hoping root would bypass it. Install su than test controller support please. If my kernel is fast and stable I'll keep it updated.

Here is the changelog I did from yesterday. https://github.com/travismills82/android_kernel_samsung_hero2qltechn/commits/cm-13

---------- Post added at 08:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 AM ----------

You can not just patch boot.img to enable FM Radio. It's a module you have to enable in the kernel defconfig than compile the driver in the kernel. ONLY WAY TO DO IT!!!.. We clear on that now?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
kernel test 2 updated with changes I did from last night and today. Check my google drive for the files.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Clear. So... Do you think you can compile it with the fm modules? Iris radio transport ko?

Your new boot works well (no fm though)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
Are you 100% sure its the iris module. I enabled the same one the other snapdragon 820's use ie: HTC 10, Oneplus3, etc... Screen shot new boot about and please test out gamepads, that was the main point of the kernel than security cve fixes cuz samsung is so damn slow.

AFAIK the Iris was on the snapdragon 805-810's.

Also give the recovery a test I have DM-Verification disabled by default built in to the recovery kernel. I dont get my phone back till tomorrow so I would appreciate your feedback.

---------- Post added at 12:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------

You guys that are feeling brave also and want to test before I make it public in the forums here ya go: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B6pe-bp68gMkZjFvTWRJeWVoUHc

Flash kernel via twrp or flashify or flashfire. MY Recovery should have DM-Verification disabled too in the kernel. (TEST THIS PLEASE)

Kernel Features:

Enabled SILABS Driver (FM Radio)

Xbox 360/One controller support

Wiimote Controller support

NFS and CIFS support

lpm: Allow cpu to enter FPC from hypervisor

CVE-2016-2504 security patch

Enable CRC32 hw accelerated module

Kernel built with selinux permissive

Remember you might need to flash supersu to get root. Let me know of any issues you encounter so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
I know that iris radio transport is referred to throughout the system files, but don't know if it's 100% the one. I think it is needed. I tested next radio and spirit free, neither work. Also doing terminal : fmconfig enable fails.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
Test the kernel out make sure its stable.

Tomorrow or the next day I will start digging around the Tmobile rom and source to be certain. If you have any references to the FM Radio for S7 Edge QUALCOMM put the links up.

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 PM ----------

SO what I have read the only issue with my kernel is FM Radio needs some work to make it enabled in rom. Is that the only thing wrong for the only custom kernel for our device?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Thanks for digging into this. Here I'm attaching the fm related files in system/bin/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
ok fmradio needs a prop to be enabled.

setprop hw.fm.init 0

mode=`getprop hw.fm.mode`

version=199217

It needs to be added to build.prop I think thats it. You could also try running init.qcom.fm.sh in system/etc in a terminal

Also it uses the iris module...

logi "inserting the radio transport module"

echo 1 > /sys/module/radio_iris_transport/parameters/fmsmd_set

/system/bin/fm_qsoc_patches $version 0

---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------

Seem i dont know order install, wipe or Twrp is incompatible ... pls help...

Also, the post say

"FORMAT DATA (YES YOU WILL LOSE ALL PERSONAL DATA), THEN FLASH (INSTALL) SUPERUSER (SU) ZIP THROUGH TWRP (HOLD HOME/POWER/VOL UP DURING REBOOT TO ENTER RECOVERY):"

it mean i format data, then immediately flash su? or it mean after i format data, i must access os then reboot and flash su? no wipe in this order..???

i dont know my Twrp, order install, wipe/format data... pls help...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] texhno04:
when you first boot into twrp, allow modifications. then format data, after formatting reboot to recovery again, then flash the file "no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip" from the link below to remove dm-verification.

https://build.nethunter.com/samsung-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/

then, reboot the phone normally, after everything is set-up, reboot to twrp and flash super su.

with titanium backup, you can freeze apps that are unnecessary without uninstalling them, It's a safe bet..

Hi bro. I use rom stock 7.0. I do the step:

"1) FLASH TWRP IN ODIN (LOAD TWRP AS ''AP'' IN ODIN, TWRP AND ODIN CAN BE DOWNLOADED ABOVE) - ENTER DOWNLOAD MODE BY REBOOTING YOUR DEVICE THEN HOLDING THE HOME/POWER/VOL DOWN BUTTONS, THEN ON BLUE SCREEN CONNECT TO USB/PC AND PRESS VOL UP.

2) BOOT INTO TWRP, FORMAT DATA (YES YOU WILL LOSE ALL PERSONAL DATA), THEN FLASH (INSTALL) SUPERUSER (SU) ZIP THROUGH TWRP (HOLD HOME/POWER/VOL UP DURING REBOOT TO ENTER RECOVERY):"

And my device is brick.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CMCDragonkai:
After browsing this thread from page 50. Am I right in doing this?

I have a stock Chinese Samsung-G9350 (with no sim card, not part of any carrier). It's build number is NRD90M.G9350ZCU2BQH4 and base band of G9350ZCU2BQH4 . It's 7.0 Nougat, with the security patch date at August 1st 2017. There is no "Enable OEM Unlock" option in the developer options.

This means it's not the hong kong firmware, it's the mainland china firmware. However I'm not sure which of the 3 CSC the firmware is (these are the 3 listed by sammobile):

```

G9350ZZH2BQH4

G9350RZH2BQH4

G9350BZH2BQH4

```

In order to root this phone and install a custom ROM.

I have to:

1. Download a 6.0 Hong Kong firmware from sammobile, and use Odin 3.12.3 to flash this firmware (this is a downgrade and it will work right?). Also is there a specific Hong Kong firmware to use, or any 6.0 Hong Kong firmware can be used from the sammobile website?

2. Install the s6-crom.apk listed on this OP (is this the same as the CROM service apk available on the internet?) using adb.

3. Find the enable OEM unlock option and enable it. (Also enable usb debugging).

4. Install the Samsung USB drivers (I already have done this).

5. Flash TWRP recovery using the same Odin that I used to flash the Hong Kong firmware.

6. Now that we have root, we can now just install the custom ROM such as Aurora v22. We must makes sure to flash the correct bootloader for the given custom ROM. If Aurora is a Nougat ROM, then we must use a Nougat bootloader as well during the flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Yep, you've got it. Make sure you flash the N bootloader provided before flashing N custom rom. M and N have different bootloader, and must be flashed through Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CMCDragonkai:
Where did this N bootloader come from? Is it a part of the official Samsung firmware or part of TWRP in some way or part of the custom ROMs?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Samsung FW, that's why you need odin to flash it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CMCDragonkai:
Thanks for the help!

All the firmwares listed on sammobile website are either 7.0 or 6.0.1. I chose the last 6.0.1 G9350ZHU2APL1. Would this be suitable as well? Or should I get an exact 6.0.0? In which case, what website other than sammobile provides legitimate copies?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
That one should be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] KillerClaw321:
I highly doubt this works for US models... would work fine on HK models though :3

So please US model users don't flash this, I'm fairly certain that this bootloader version

is under the US models so you will just not be able to boot and have to reinstall stock firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
That's correct, US models have a locked bootloader and won't allow twrp or custom ROMs. Bootloader must be unlocked to follow this thread. 9350 and 9300 models only.
