Ramdisk is done unless I find apps that need to be restricted per cpu usage. When Samsuck releases kernel source for Qualcomm than I can do much better. Probably around March time, but honestly I might get an S8+ or Xiaomi MI6, OP5, or just hold out to see what's up with Note 8. I do like the Snapdragon 835 architecture. I just hope they don't shrink battery size and keep a big battery so we get longer usage.

If Xiaomi or OP keeps a large battery in a phone without the dang edge with good amount of ram and SD835 I might seriously jump ship to that company. But if Note 8 doesn't explode and they keep a HUGE battery with a 835 without an awful edge curve I'll go that direction.

OP and Xiaomi I can use Qualcomm tools to unbrick a dead lifeless phone, Samsung nope you gotta take it apart and use a 3rd party box kinda pisses me off honestly. So as a Dev you can see where I'm coming from.

Hello Dave,

thanks for sharing this to us.

I have successfully flash the rom on my S7E (not including travis82's kernel), but the interesting thing is, my google play store will not be able to work after a while, usually after one day. when I open the play store, it says: error retrieving information from server df-dferh-01

It's like yesterday, I can install, update everything, and slept, when I wake up, open the store, report this error.

I've done grant the rights already.

My network has no problem, my wife's another smartphone, can access play store, at the same time through the same WIFI or cell network.

I'm wondering if you have met this problem?

thanks,
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Make sure to give play services in settings :applications permission for location. Also try clearing storage for play store in settings, then reopen it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] upsydown:
i thought once the first unlocking app was installed, the OEM option would appear, but it hasn't yet.. should i still go ahead and try everything else through Odin or..? Please help.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Ah, you need to be on Hong Kong firmware first, chn doesn't have oem. Search samfirm for sm-g9350 fw download and flash in odin. Then you can proceed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] upsydown:
just tried to use odin to flash TWRP but Odin failed.. will look at Samfirm and get back to you. Thanks

samfirm not only has the HK variant, but it also offers a PIT file too.

I'm in China, and want to keep using the phone over here without any language/apps problems and honestly, i don't know what this file will do. Should I flash both or just the ROM?

Download

1. G9350ZHU1APB9_G9350ZZH1APB9_TGY_FULL.zip

2. HERO2QLTE_CHN_HK.pit
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Pit isn't necessary, pit is just partition file, but you should only neex BL, AP, CP and CSC (csc home keeps data, the other csc wipes data, up to you. Then tap build in settings software 7 times to enable developer options, then in dev options set OEM to on. Then root away:)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] upsydown:
failed to install the hk ROM and instead it made my phone go into a loop, so i had to go and factory reset it.. :(:(

i'm going to give it another go, and if i can't install it, i won't know what better to do.. so many hours reading threads and posts, my eyes almost pop out:eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Make sure you format data in twrp, custom rom data can't be encrypted so you need to format it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] upsydown:
ok, so, i finally managed to flash twrp into the phone successfully and now, headache no2 is the hongkong rom, not wanting to install through odin.. failed at first attempt. giving it another shot and see how it goes.

which of these is truly recommended for me? stick with the 6.0 or move on to 7.0?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Go with 7.0 it's the future. Just follow the instructions and there you go!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mitsuji26:
Go for the 7.0 but the status bar has chinese lunar calendar. View attachment 4030978
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
True, but it's barely noticeable, a few characters when you pull the navmenu down :P Xposed will fix that once it's released.

I find performance and battery immaculate. Forgot to charge the other night and ended up using it all day.. 25 hours and still 30% battery. I used the device SOT for 15 of those hours, on and off :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mitsuji26:
Yes it's barely noticable. The 7.0 is really stable and fast. I haven't encountered any apps stop responding. And i also noticed that the fingerprint is a little faster.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Hopefully xposed comes quick :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mitsuji26:
I hope so

I finally got my S7 edge rooted and changed the Rom to the aurora (thanks very much for your hard work developers!)

however, my Google cannot be set up.. I've authorized the location for Google and installed the English version of the aurora options and am using VPN to try and connect it, but I can't seem to be able to create an account for Google. ant ideas there?

much appreciated guys
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Did you eneble Google in aurora settings BEFORE installing the english? You must do that. If you did then I'm not sure what the issue is
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] heartready:
Thanks Dave, finally figured out that, Google play service accessing servicEs.googleapi.cn which blocked by the Chinese government cause this problem, reroute this request via VPN fix this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] upsydown:
yes, and after VPN, I can access it. now, new problem, samsung pay and samsung knox. both deny access because the phone has been modified. I've allowed permissions and location to all in both and I really make use of samsung pay here in China. any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
yea, need to use my kernel it has a safety net bypass to samsung pay and android pay works.

Also if you have drk preload imei errors here is the binary firmware to flash for SM-G9350 to resolve these issues: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298929551
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] heartready:
root will physically fuse Knox and warranty, can not be reversed.

Error

Op

Thanks for this awesome rom, but after I install the toxic setting apk file, the aurora setting changes to English but when I try to open enchanced setting, the app gives error saying "something Chinese has stopped".

Also time to time I don't get notification leery from WhatsApp and other apps when phone is screen off. But when I go to the specific app, I get the notification.

Pls help
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Yes the english settings breaks advanced, so you need to enable Google before installing the apk. As for Whatsup notifications, I think it's because it's Chinese csc. Nothing we can do until the HK N rom is released.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] vipire:
I did enabled Google before installing the apk but still same error. Tried twice already.:(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
You cannot use advanced settings once english apk is installed. You can reflash the rom (or extract the rom on your pc and get the /system/app/aurora settings apk) then use another device with camera Google translate on the Chinese settings.

Stock rom root

Hi again op.

So I went back to my stock rom. I wanted to root the phone in stock rom. So I flashed twrp via odin and then factory reset and flashed supersu in twrp. The phone boots, the phone is rooted but the WiFi died not turn on, and the phone won't detect sim card. Any solution?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
I don't know that's weird. I assume you formatted Data? You have to for root. If not: Try rebooting, otherwise reformat system and data in twrp and reflash, then format data in twrp and reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] vipire:
btw op, do you have stock rom? HK version? The one i found seems to be not a stock rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
You can get it from SamMobile
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
Nougat is out for T-Mobile I have the Odin firmware, so it should be anytime for SM-G9350 too. So I have it installed on G9350 no problem, I am uploading the frankenfirmware as I type I will post a link in about 10-15mins. Than I will make a rom later on tonight just to kick things off and to get rid of the T-Mobile bloat and the annoying startup tone and boot/shutdown animations. This is Feb security patch.

Google Drive Link: available soon

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm also having the no WI-FI and no cell reception issue after I root. Going back to stock ROM fixes the issue.

I am wiping the data partition as directed and the root process completes fine, just no cell or wifi at the end.

Is there any fix or procedure to get the communications to work when rooting? (I assume I'm missing a critical step maybe?...)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] reneriverac:
Hi Dave, thanks for your effort in helping us get access to a fast link to download Aurora Nougat ROM, which IMHO is a big improvement over Marshmallow. Aurora v15 has a bug in bluetooth paired devices (they got forgotten each time the phone is rebooted) so that I should pair again my bluetooth devices. I was looking in Aurora Site and was able to see that Aurora ROM v18 (which fixes this bug) has been released por Exynos based S7, have you been able to see if theres Aurora v18 for Snapdragon S7?

Thanks again!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
No problem, yes I like nougat too. No there isn't any progress on our sd820, kernel source still isn't released for N so we likely have to wait for that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] KiraYamatoSD:
The stable firmware for CHN Nougat for Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge has just been released on Sammobile. I don't even know when the HKG version will follow up.

Because it says "app won't install"

I bought a 16GB for 10 bucks at gamestop and it still says that

not my lucky day...I forgot this thread is from last summer lol ........................is the 7.0 ROM uploader put up close enough to the USA 7.0 ROM out right now?

Ported=based on tmobile-s7-edge sd820

hk=hong Kong (where our sm-g9350 device is from)

csc=country code (customer service code, for feature set)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] okaythan24:
lol hk...

Our phones have recovery,fastboot,and normal options....which one is "download" mode used for flashing,etc?

Wait why would I want honk kong country service code If I'm in US lol my bad ... I just want something similar to the Nougat T-mobile S7/edge ROM so its at home with me lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Flash in recovery. You want the hk csc because it was make for our phone. The tmo csc will be buggy / have problems because its designed for their LOCKED device. Of course you could just find tmo AP tar on sammobile and flash that, but it'll have bugs on your sm-g9350
