Rumor has it if you install and login to snap chat before running root.bat it will work. But you'll need to restart the process to verify. I don't use snap chat myself, but a generic search for snap chat +root will give that as a universal answer. And I think it's more xposed than root that's a problem..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] DarkMidnight:
That's affirmative. Snapchat must be installed and logged into BEFORE you install XPOSED. Snapchat runs a check to make sure XPOSED is on installed the first time you try to login. If you install XPOSED after the fact, Snapchat won't notice. It could care less if you have root or not.

Ez Package Disabler & Package Disabler Pro -- Can't Find License

I've purchased both Ez Package Disabler:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hecorat.packagedisabler&hl=en

and Package Disabler Pro:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpro&hl=en

... both are complaining about not being able to verify my license after rooting / flashing the custom firmware: Samsung_G935x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR

I'm dealing with much lesser package disablers ... some barely usable. Don't want to pay for Titanium Backup now and have the same thing happen.

Is there any way I can get these apps to find their licenses without having to go back to stock? I've tried RootCloak from the Xposed repository without success. I've also flashed the S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_Debloater_V15.zip (is this part of the problem?)

Does any one know if you can port the edge screen from the s7 edge to the s7? I don't want to use one from the Google play store because they either don't have all the features or are clunky and slow. There is an xda forum for ported galaxy apps, which include the edge apps, but after flash there is no way to use it.

---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

Also is the s7 and s7 edge going to be getting custom Recovery's any time soon?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] LeftyGR:
Answer 1. No. That would take some major hacking, and would probably be clunky and slow.

Answer 2. Not that anyone's aware of. You'll know when it happens, because s**t will blow up around here!

How to enable Android Pay

HI,

Firstly I would like to thank you for your detailed guide on how to root the Galaxy S7/S7 Edge phones for Verizon. At the bottom of the guide you have a FAQ section where I saw this question and answer below.

Does Android Pay work?

It does, but you have to make a change that disables root and then reboot your phone. You can toggle this back/forth without flashing, but you either get root or Android Pay at any one time.

My question to you is how do it do I apply this fix so that I would be able to used Android pay on my phone.

Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] newuzer1:

T-Mobile startup screen

I rooted my Samsung S7 Edge and it worked fine for a week now, after reboot, is stuck on the T-Mobile startup screen. I can get to the Recovery menu but don't know what my next step is. Any help would be appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Soooperstar:
With Sprint the fix for me is to wipe cache then reboot, if it boot loops, let it continue till it boots. Once booted, go into flash fire and wipe dalvic. Yea I know it's a lot, but works for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] spwalker75:
My options in the Recovery mode are:

-Reboot Now

-Reboot with Bootloader

-Apply update from ADB

-Apply Update from SD Card

-Wipe Data/Factory Reset

-Wipe Cache Partition

-Mount System

-View Recovery Log

-Power Off
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Soooperstar:
Wipe cache partition, then you might loop a couple times more then boot. I normally then go into flash fire then wipe Dalvic and cache. Then you have to wait for optimizing apps, may get a couple more loops, but for me I'm normally good at that point, without loops
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] spwalker75:
Did the Wipe Cache Partition but it is still stuck on the T-Mobile screen and the phone starts to heat up noticeably. How long should it sit on the T-Mobile start up screen before moving on? I'm also seeing Supported API: 3 with dm-verity verification failed at the bottom of the Recovery screen
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Soooperstar:
DM verify failed is normal on all variants. This worked for me on Sprint. Did you start from scratch when you Odin the kernel and rooted? If not, you may need to factory reset, also did you disable security policy updates?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] sirrkitt:
It might be because you have FRP (Factory Reset Protection) enabled?

I'm not positive, but that's what I'm seeing. The only time I got an "auth" error from Odin on my phone was when I was trying to flash U firmware after taking the latest T-Mobile update and it wasn't liking it because of the bootloader mismatch but I don't see why that would be an issue here.

Did you enable "OEM Unlock" in developer settings?

heres the full story, i followed the full tutorial closely and got it running just fine with exposed/supersu/flashfire. the phone was slower than stock with all the bloatware that comes pre installed, and i used it for a few days, snapchat would not work either, so i did a factory wipe and figured it would just give me a non bloated phone that would work fine, but i was wrong it was still slow, so i followed the guide to return to stock, there was no instructions that said to enable usb debugging or anything although i did that anyways and then started the process. i probably did not enable OEM Unlock before returning to stock because i figured i already unlocked and rooted. and now i am stuck, it will pass everything except AP in odin if i leave it unchecked

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Kole_Ackerson:
i believe i have found the "fix" for not being able to send/receive sms/calls. after you root, you flash the v15 fix. all went well until i set up my xposed modules, govtuner, etc and rebooted. for the second time after two times going back to stock and re-rooting, this happened again. phone status said out of service, could not send receive sms or calls, yet i had data and was able to use my data. i then had an epiphany to flash the v15 fix package again and wipe the cache partition..... it fixed my issues, for now :laugh: dont know how this didnt cross my mind lmao
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] sirrkitt:
Weird! Well I hard a similar-ish problem come up when flashing a bunch of times and I got stuck with the rooted firmware as well. You can try hunting down the PIT file for your exact phone model, stick all the files into Odin (all from the same version), go to advanced and check the re-partition. Be sure to submit the PIT file and make damn sure that you don't touch the phone and that the PIT file is the one meant for your phone. I managed to get mine back to stock that way.

Steps didn't root my AT&T US Samsung G7 phone...

Doing these steps does everything to the phone, except the most important one - it doesn't actually root the phone.

The app is there, but when I run rootcheck, it's not rooted.

Keep in mind that I had no errors running root.bat. It ran perfectly, pushed the image, set the permissions, etc, via adb.

It looks great when I run it.

But, afterwards when I check it, it's not rooted. FlashFire complains as well (that the phone is not rooted).

It's a Samsung S7 US AT&T phone. I've also tried other versions of .TAR file, and other versions of ODIN. And other versions of the SuperSU end up with the same results.

Is there a "trick" to get it to actually be rooted?

Lastly, if you're wondering why I'm using these instructions versus the AT&T ones - it was said that if you were having the problems I"m having - to follow *this* particular guide instead.

Thanks!

It seems like there are a few in this thread who successfully restored a Flashfire backup?

Here is the scenario I'm facing on a 930A--

PF1, system and data backup, restore works fine with Flashfire.

-------

-Upgraded to PF2 using built package found here.

-Re-rooted, installed Flashfire, restore /data from backup (created with PF1)

-On reboot, CPU pegged, phone very sluggish, many FCs, including IMS, no cell service.

-------

Reboot into recovery, factory reset, boot, re-root, Flashfire restore PF1 /system and /data

Phone boots fine, cell coverage returns.

-------

Any ideas as to why the FlashFire /data restore made with PF1 does not work after flashing PF2? I would like to avoid having to use TiBu if possible.

By the way, I also noticed in the recovery DM-Verify Verification Failed, but no DRK message and my phone boots fine. I presume this this normal?

Thanks.......

I'm having a major issue with my G930V. Earlier today I reflashed stock firmware from the post using ODIN and when it finished I got a dead android below a yellow triangle. After a few seconds it booted into recovery with an error saying "Failed to map file".

Now after re-flashing anything in ODIN, I got an error saying "dm-verity verification failed need to check drk first"

Sometimes when I flash ONLY the AP I can boot into Android just fine, but I'm hesitant to trust its stability.

Now when I boot into download mode I get 3 yellow lines at the top saying "DVIF!!", and reflashing doesn't seem to fix anything.

What have I done? How can I recover my phone?

Edit: I fixed my problem.

1. Only flash the AP file using ODIN

2. Boot into your phone and go through the setup process

3. In Smart Switch on your PC, go to More > Device initialization and follow the instructions (you may need the serial but my phone automatically popped up)

4. Your phone will reset

5. Once it finishes resetting, go through setup again, then boot into recovery mode.

6. Select "Reboot" in recovery mode and it will verify all the stuff and then it should boot fine. You should no longer see "Custom" when you first power on the device.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] phantomliberty:
Boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset. I know it sucks. I did it 4 times before someone found a solution. Reboot and plug your phone in to the charger. It's going to get pretty hot too. Wait 10 or so minutes for it to finally boot up and follow the rooting process again. This time stop Security Policy Updates from auto updating. The setting should be in Settings, Personal Settings, Lock Screen and Security (maybe another section deeper, i forget) and select Security Policy Updates. If I screwed up the location of the setting just google where to find it. Then get a system process/service freezer (I prefer Titanium Backup which requires Pro) and freeze the service. I search Security and find "Security Policy Updates. Not sure what the exact service is called if you can only search that, it's somewhere in a comment in this post. Freezing it will make sure this will never happen again.
