revert S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_Debloater_V15.zip

How do I revert / reactivate the "debloat" items above? Do I have to revert to stock?

I'm asking because Package Disabler Pro is not activating for me... "please wait for license activation" and http://packagedisabler.com/#faq:

We do not support ROOTED phones . If your devices is ROOTED, package disabler MAY not activate.Make sure your device is “samsung”.

a) Please dont use POWER SAVING mode while activating license.

b) If you are using a Proxy or VPN the license will not activate.

c) If you have used another package disabling tool such as DEBLOATER or ADB based tool, please revert back all the disabled packages.

d) Try Rebooting.

e) Uninstall and Re-install

f) If nothing works factory reset and try again

Thanks but already did that....several times to no avail.

But anyway, Problem Solved: I had to call AT&T phone support and they flipped a switch that fixed it. Hate when that happens. Something with the 'message center' number. At any rate it's fixed. Thanks for the help though.

Is it possible to odin ATT_G930AUCS2APF2.zip on a rooted ATT_G930AUCS2APH1 to get back to stock? Or do I need an APH1 zip or higher if they existed? Thx
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ajthemacboy:
After my dm-verify issues I think I'll be staying unrooted. I'm using ForceDoze with the grant command and it helps a lot. The performance and battery life are easily 50% better, even compared to ONLY root + the fix script flashed.

My original argument for rooting was better battery life using Amplify and all of that, but honestly, whatever is causing root and/or Xposed to kill my performance and battery can't be made up by Amplify.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] kuduku:
can you link me to ForceDoze with grant command thread
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] lvpre:
It is in the play store under read more section. Just search for forcedoze
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] snovvman:
That's one way to find out. Yet, another way to find out was--when I read his post, I immediately Googled "forcedoze grant", and the first hit was the Playstore link. Go figure......

Just sayin'
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] heavenhated:
Agreed. Rooting and all the mods have not made battery life to be worse. The lag is not there but the battery life is very very low. I have even kept the sync off and only wifi on. But losing around 3% every hour on an idle phone....anytime the screen is on the discharge is even higher. The stock U rom seems to be the best..But i also want the root for my backups and what not. I am going to live with bad battery life but enjoy the benefits of the root till they find some permenant solution.

S7 U.S Verzion

Hello

I Have S7 Verzion U.S And It's A Sim Locked

My Questions Are...

1- Can i root It If I Follow These Steps Or Not ?

2- IF Yes Can I Unlock The Sim And Use Any Other Sim ?

3- Is There Any Way To Unlock The Sim ?

Thanks Xda Team
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] HamBone625:
You can certainly root and your phone shouldn't really be sim locked unless its only sim locked so you can't use it on domestic gsm ie att and T-Mobile. All Verizon LTE phones are globally unlocked regardless of what any Verizon rep may tell you.. (I work at Verizon) I've even tested a few Verizon phones with say att sim cards and they worked out of the box your milage may vary

I know the OP said not to update the super su binary yet....has this changed at all. Play store just updated super su and I got the message telling me the binary needs to be uodated. I ignored it....but was just wondering.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
I got the same message at first but I turned all that off in Playstore. Probably a bit drastic but I wanted to make sure nothing would effect root, eng boot, etc.....So for the time being I'm not updating su until someone higher up says it's ok to do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ajthemacboy:
Yesterday I was reading a thread about (I think) the AT&T S7 root release that I can't find now, but basically everyone was talking about how the "engroot" method that we are using is far from ideal. Bad battery life, bad performance (which I definitely notice now that I'm back on stock), and instability only makes engroot practical for developers or repair shops.

Unfortunately, now that the bounty has been claimed, there's not much motivation to look for a better root method, which means we're kindof out of luck I think... unless Verizon/Samsung really unlocks the bootloader soon like several sources have claimed they will. But I'm not holding my breath.

So if I follow the guide to rooting, de-bloating and installing Xposed VERY carefully, what's my chance of a brick? The fact that I can't just boot into TWRP at any moment and back things up makes me nervous. Just got an Edge last night and am waiting to fire it up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ykjae:
Chances of bricking your phone is almost none at all. I mean if you follow the guide you should have no worries and make sure you turn off security policy updates.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Yes I agree with you and turning off security policy updates and frankly any updates are part of the instructions in my book.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ITNV:
Was anyone else ever able to find a fix for this problem? I followed the Root and Unroot guides to the letter but when I try to update it fails at 32%. Also, when I try to run Samsung Pay it says "Unauthorized modifications have been made to your device" so there is definitely something lingering from the root process.

Confused about unrooting

I am sorry if the answer is very simple.. maybe I am just blanking.... I am trying to do the entire root process so I did the following (I am on rooted phone now):

1) factory reset.

2) flashed

I restart the phone and it has all of my other apps and settings. What about other files that are contained in VZW_G930VVRU2APE1.zip? I feel like I am missing something very simple. TIA
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] freak69ize:
Are you flashing all 4 files in Odin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] mefistofel666:
Well, his instructions only have 3 files listed to be flashed so I am flashing just those 3. Yes in odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] freak69ize:
I assume that you left the BL file out then. Flash all 4 and it should work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] mefistofel666:
I did, but it's not listed in his instructions :) So flash those 4 and all has to be back to stock with none of my crap?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] freak69ize:
Back up anything you wanna keep to PC if you have access to one.. Or external SD card then flash all 4 in the appropriate slots in Odin. When phone boots back up enter all your information like you did when you first got your phone.. let google restore your apps and then check for software update in about phone settings and it should be there
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ITNV:
No, I left out the BL file per his instructions. I thought about trying to flash all 4 but since psouza4's response to other people who ran into this problem was that they probably did the unroot process wrong I didn't want to vary too far from the instructions. (I will say, though, that neither of the Odin downloads in the main post worked for me and the only way I could get it to flash them at all was to download Odin 3.12.3.)

FWIW, I ended up going to the Samsung desk at Best Buy. He was able to flash a more recent version of the firmware on my phone (without losing any of my data and configuration) and that seems to have fixed my issues. I was able to download and apply the latest update from AT&T and Samsung Pay is working fine again.

Thanks to all for your help and especially to psouza4 for putting this thread together. The problems associated with this root weren't worth it for me but I'm still glad that it was an option!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] rockinjer:
i went to best buy samsung desk today to see if they could fix my phone because no matter what i try i cant get a flash to work through odin even with the pit file, it must have to do with not being able to mount /system... but anyways the woman there would not even look at my phone and said that their software would not recognize the phone if it has been unlocked and made a few excuses and kinda scalded me for rooting and said i took the risk of rooting and now i gotta pay for it going wrong. do i just need to go to a different person? or is there a solution?

Any news on the PG5 update?

Can you keep root and hotspot mod?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ITNV:
When I went I didn't mention rooting, flashing or anything to them. I told them that when I tried to apply the OTA update it kept failing. The guy didn't ask anything else, just took my phone, plugged it in, and flashed the latest version he had. It was still a version behind from AT&T's latest but the current OTA worked without any issues.

I would go back and try a different person. If they ask what happened, tell them your kid/nephew/neighbor borrowed your phone and when you got it back it was messed up and you don't know what he did to it. Alternatively, if you are still trying to flash it yourself, I recommend finding the newest version of Odin. I couldn't get anything to flash with the two versions in the OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] gdecker:

I thought you just needed to uninstall xposed to get snapchat to work? Or do you need to be unrooted?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Cm4nXD:
From what i understand from reading forums on this, is that snapchat has root detection so that you can't use it. Root cloak only hides system/sbin but not the xposed framework. So you have to log into snapchat before installing xpossed. However I got signed out of snapchat. So I need a way to uninstall xpossed and reinstall it. That's the only solution offered on other forums. The problem is that there doesn't seem to be a way to uninstall this specific xpossed framework without doing a full restore/flash stock and rerooting. All I need is an uninstall script for this xpossed framework.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] mcholly7:
To anyone trying to figure out a workaround for the whole snap chat debacle without unrooting or removing xposed, what I did was use titanium backup on my old phone or any device that you logged into before rooting, and backed up all of the app and data for snap chat, then moved the files to my new phone, installed titanium backup and restored snap chat plus data. Bypassed the whole logging in aspect. I hope this helps someone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ajthemacboy:
There's a post in (I think) this thread with a guy saying he was talking to a Verizon guy who was in a meeting about unlocking the bootloader soon. I was also talking to some root gurus a few weeks ago who said they also had sources saying that it was going to happen soon. Certainly nothing concrete but multiple people seem to agree at the same time, so maybe..?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] snovvman:
That would be a significant shift for Verizon. Prior to the S7/N7s, Verizon and AT&T locked their Samsung-branded bootlaoders. T-Mobile and Sprint did not. This started around Note 3. This was what drove many to use T-Mo devices on ATT. There were no indications that VZ or ATT were going to yield. In recent times, as far as I know, they never unlocked any bootloaders ex post facto.

When S7 and later phones dropped, even the T-Mo and Sprint variants shipped locked. The discussion was that Samsung wanted it that way for it's Samsung Pay product. In March, T-Mo's John Legere said he was asking his engineers to engage Samsung to see about unlocking. To date, nothing has happened.

Had I tea leaves to read, they would probably say to not hold your breath. If there were any bootloaders to be unlocked, they would most likely to be T-Mobile and Sprint.

You need to download the stock firmware on the original post under "Return to Stock" for your phone model/carrier and flash all 4 items through Odin. If you get a model dismatch error try using the latest version of Odin from the official site. I could not use the one provided in the post so I found a different one. I believe it was v3.12.3.

If this is true why isn't it possible to root, debloat, then unroot by flashing the stock kernel? That way you don't face stability issues and can use Samsung Pay.

I have a question that might lead to some useful information if I can get some feedback. Ok, so I rooted my phone two weeks ago with this guide but didn't disable the security policy updates(need to add that step to this guide fyi) during the week leading up to the 7 day bootloop issue I installed xposed and went ahead and put the Xtether(Moto Tether) module on my phone. Even though it didn't say it was compatible with the S7 I decided to try it anyway. To my surprise it worked perfectly. Everything was working, and I was able to us my Hotspot without being on the hotspot plan, and without just sharing my wifi. Unfortunately one morning last week I woke up and all of my apps were crashing. I didn't know what to do so I restarted my phone. This put me into a bootloop where I was stuck at the AT&T logo. I ended up having to factory reset my phone through secure boot and then leaving my phone off for 15 minutes. I wish I knew about safe mode or flashing the stock firmware at the time but I didn't. Anyways I am back to where I was before minus the Xposed bit. I have flashed the debloater and fixes file, and everything is working wonderfully except I can't find a way to get the hotspot working again without xposed. I don't mind doing it again, as long as I can get some sort of confirmation that this all won't happen again since I disabled the security policy updates. I tried asking on the thread that posted the bit about disabling the security policies, but no one replied. I hope we can figure this out, because I know there are other people wanting to be able to use their hotspot, and this was working flawlessly up to that point. Please help me figure this out for all of our sakes.
