I have tried to unroot so many times and I think I am missing something very basic. I Odin the files you have in VZW_G930VVRU2APE1.zip:

AP_

BL_

CP_

CSC_

and after I re-root i have all my setting preserved! Custom ringtones, launcher, wallpapers. I have tired factory reset before unroot and still the same. Help?

So it's hasn't bugged out or anything?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] spwalker75:
I followed the step by step instructions from the this thread. I have no idea if I disabled the security policy updates. Where in the steps would that have been done? And to do a factory reset from the menu I have available do I need to be connected to the laptop that I used during the rooting so the phone can have access to anything like a flash or does the factory reset completed solely on the phone?

2.78 SuperSU worked fine. installing the binary failed, it said to reboot and try again. i rebooted and i didn't even have to try installing it again, it was already good.

i've been running for a few days now and had no problems to speak of.

When I run the root.bat file, it just flashes and goes away. I'm not seeing a prompt to authorize my phone. I just flashed latest stock... had this problem with PE1. Am I the only one that has this problem? How do I get the prompt? I'm sure in 180+ pages someone has figured it out but, thats a lot of searching and I tried.

Edit: Went in command prompt as administrator, ran the root.bat file there and after a minute or so my phone randomly rebooted while I was using it... forgot I had run the root.bat in the background so it looks like it took.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ajthemacboy:
Next time that happens you can edit the bat file and add "pause" to a new line to see the error.

not booting past US CELLULAR LOGO

i rooted my us cellular galaxy s7 edge about 2 weeks ago with xposed and everything else that was on the tutorial on here, ive had no problems with it but for some reason today it kept fore closing my applications and a bunch of errors were popping up. i reset the phone and now for some reason it won't boot past US CELLULAR logo and it just gets very hot.. my model number is SM-G935R4. is there
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Wired4Fun:
First and foremost, thank you 1,000 times for this incredibly detailed and well thought out rooting process!

That being said, I was still having some incredible frustrations with lag even after following your procedure. I tried numerous different CPU tweakers which all seemed to result in temporary fixes only to have the lag return after a few hours. But....

I seemed to have finally solved the lag permanently, though I'm not 100% sure it's a perfectly safe method, but it's seems to be working properly for me.

Using Kernel Adiutor, I followed your steps to adjust the CPU governor to on-demand, but it seems there may have been a few steps that were perhaps inadvertently overlooked?? By default, the max CPU frequency was set at only 1593MHz. This is where I'm a little unsure if my approach is unsafe, but I maxed out these values to 2150 for both the Big and Little cores. I also set both governors for the Big and Little to on-demand. After rebooting, the lag has completely disappeared! I am finally 100% satisfied with this phone!

It doesn't seem to run hot, and the battery life has been excellent since performing these tweaks a couple days ago. I'd like to encourage you to review whether or not this is a safe tweak, and if it is, please consider updating your original post to include this procedure, as I believe it could save countless people the same frustration I've been experiencing for the last few weeks after rooting.

As a side note, I have removed all other CPU tweaking programs, and am using ONLY Kernel Adiutor, which DOES allow me to tweak both big and little core clusters (which seems to deviate from your original post, though I think you're correct with TricksterMod).

Just my 2 cents...

So to update, return to stock, update, then, root again? I couldn't take the update from when I was rooted, system updates would crash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] SooHooStuff:
I followed the fixes for my computer not recognizing the adb files, but it's still not working. Any other suggestions? Thank you!

Bootloop

I am stuck in the AT&T bootloop and I used the PrinceComsy verision of Odin, but when i tried to download the other version of odin, it did not run. Help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] lvpre:
Could be a bad download. Download over a wired connection and check the md5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Yes, this is correct steps.

---------- Post added at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 PM ----------

The Princecomsy version of Odin is the correct one to use for AT&T . It's the one I used without any problems and I'm on AT&T g930a with latest update PH1. So that probably not the problem.

If you haven't fixed yet asking over on that other thread would be better than here.....that thread is for this phone and actually for the rooting process where this thread is more for the fixing debloating process.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] korythecreator:
I used Samsung_G935x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR to root my US CELLULAR SM-G935R4, followed all of the steps for x posed and debloating exactly how they are. i was rooted for about a week I've reset the phone a few times during that week but the last time i reset it i got stuck on the US CELLULAR booting screen, my phone then became hotter and hotter and would not shut off, the only way to power down was to power into download mode or recovery mode.. I used Odin and flashed the stock software for the phone and unrooted... I would like to root the phone but I don't want this happening again, is there anything that i could have done wrong?

Sweet Jesus people. Please don't quote the OP like that. Forum etiquette.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] tygib:
So I installed kernel adiutor and when I try to change big/little cores to different frequencies, as soon as I select a new one, it changes it back to whatever was set before. How do you get it to keep that value?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] SecSpyral:
happens for me too but that value does seem to change by itself too

So I'm on a att s7, I rooted and used the version prince version of Odin. My phone went dead and it started to boot loop. So I downloaded all files here, twice. No matter which Odin, wire, I use it always fails. Verity dismatch failure. I'm using correct files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] cn2661:
Hello, first of all I would like to thank you very much for the tutorial and hard work. The fixes almost work perfectly for me, except I encountered the problem of Bluetooth Tether broken after applying the S7 Edge Fix after Root.

Well, before Root and flashing the Eng Boot, the bluetooth tethering to my Ipad and my Laptop was working fine.

After I have flashed the Eng Boot, the bluetooth tethering function broke. While, Bluetooth A2DP and Wifi Tether remains intact.

And the Debloat/Fix Zip does not help to fix this problem with the Boot Eng.

May I invite you to look into this matter for me to see if it is possible to fix it in the coming updated fix? Thank you very much again!

My Device is on 935U PG1 firmware.

I successfully rooted, but I do not have the Super SU on my phone, and google play will not install anything. The app downloads, but it doesn't install. Did I miss a step? From my understanding I had to double click the root.bat, then my phone reboots, then its done and it should have the super su on it. Right? Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] TheWu-Wei:
STOP quoting the OP. It is unnecessary and poor forum etiquette.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Yes correct......as long as it installed correctly. You gotta have everything in the correct directories or I just put everything in the same directory to be sure paths are correct. Adb can be funny that way. Rebooting a couple of times may help too.....it will settle things in. Wiping cache may also be needed.

Use rootcheck to see if rooted then see if you can install flashfire....if you can then you're rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] SooHooStuff:
Thank you! I reset and rooted again and it worked this time!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Good job.

I'm no expert by a mile but I highly recommend psouza4's -v15 fix. I only did the fix no debloat and my AT&T g930a runs really good. I'm on it just about all day Internet text phone etc.....and the battery will last all day easy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ZeoFateX:
Samsung Pay

In order to get rid of the 'Unauthorized Modifications' message for Samsung Pay after you have unrooted your phone you need to be sure you flash the bootloader BL file. Before that it wasn't working. After it it worked no problem. Please update in OP! Thanks!

I have a question about going back to stock after rooting using this method . I have a straight talk version g930-vl , i dont see any straight talk for cp , ap , and csc for straight talk? how do i get those files for it? or do i just use the verizon files?

I can't believe I haven't found this guide sooner. I was having so much performance issues on my S7 Edge after rooting until I found this. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Adaken13:
okay guys , im going to root my stock SM-G930VL , what should i do first? , should i download the lastest firmware on samfirm using the SM-G930V , or should i just get the tar from this thread and use that to flash from odin and update through the phone? next step would be rooting it , should i would just need to follow op instruction using the Samsung_G930x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR and install SuperSU after that. Then next do i just use flashfire to flash any of the two roms that i see for verizon model . Can someone please confirm with me if this is the right direction to go with?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Yes correct. Just do ota update if one is available. Then you're on latest. Make sure nothing is frozen or disabled or anything like that....basically try and get as factory fresh as possible. Then follow the OP like you stated. The Princecomsy thread the OP points to is for AT&T variant but they have a lot of info if you get stuck or want more info.

Having a weird issue with greenify.

So I’m rooted, running xposed, and greenify. That's it, stock rom. (I have the xhangouts and cpu temp modules running too but I don't believe that are relevant to this issue).

When I plug in a charger (right now at work). Everyon 30 seconds to a minute the phone is beeping and screen coming on like I just connected the charger. I haven't noticed this using the samsung charging cable but at work I just have a 10ft USB cable hooked up to a wall charger. From what I can tell it is not charging as quickly.

Anyone experiencing this too?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
If you read you would see all that stuff fixable with psouza4's -v15 fix. You can also debloat if you want . I only did the fix and I'm running fine. Get titanium back up pro and freeze 'securitylogagent' or disable it. Also make sure you stop the auto updates in settings/lockscreen&security/other security settings/security policy updates turn it off.

I would undo the Lspeed thing and do the -v15 fix first and then go from there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] daquick:
Did everything om my s7, had lag, did lspeed fix and now everything seems perfect. My system ram usage is 2.3-2.4GB. is this normal? Is this bad for the phone? Will it over work the processor or something? Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
I only use the Samsung charger or my computers USB and the same USB cable from samsung so sorry no better help.

I do notice that if I unplug the cable and plug it in when it's been charging and basically black screen that it will turn on and make a sound (if I have sound on in the settings). So it could be the low current or maybe even voltage may be on the threshold so the phone thinks it's being unplugged and plugged repeatably???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Adaken13:
was it a bad idea if i uninstall it from titanium >?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
I'm 2.3-3.1GB average for the day. I had 64 processes used ram over the last day. Seems normal to me??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Adaken13:
forgot to say that im on the newest firmware so i dont think i can flash that zip for it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
Are you saying you completely uninstalled the securitylogagent in titanium? I didn't even know that could be done.

If your phone works and rebooted a few times I wouldn't worry about it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Adaken13:
yeah i just double check and it not there anymore . its been running fine so far lol

I discovered, when using the Verizon S7 ODIN files, that not only does ti factory reset your phone, but it completely wipes the internal storage and you lose all your screenshots, downloads, anything else you might have put there!

Good thing the MicroSD was safe or I would have thrown my phone out a window.

The "AP" file doesn't erase your data so it must be one of the other two.

Just a warning to anyone wanting to go back to stock... backup your internal storage, as for some stupid reason ODIN wipes it!

Random reboot and brick

My phone bricks randomly

I thought i fixed this problem by just disabling wifi when not connected to a network but it still happened for no reason. Not to mention its annoying to have to disable wifi every single time i leave the house. i didnt know "wifi fix" meant "brick your phone when you leave the house"

Not to mention the hour and a half it takes to reinstall everything and then re root the phone... Its nice to know that i wont be able to call 911(if i get in an accident) because my phone decided that it was having a bad day because it couldnt connect to wifi

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] drfsupercenter:
After re-reading the first post, I just have a couple more questions for clarification...

OK, so let's say I install Xposed using the files here. Would any Xposed modules be safe (including RootCloak)? Going along with my post a couple posts ago, I'm curious what *actually* trips Knox - it was my understanding that modifying /system will do it... but if that's not the case, can I use Root Explorer and delete stuff out of /system (and also copy some user-apps to system) and be fine?

Can I get some more details on this? From what I understand, Android Pay uses the same "SafetyNet" root detection that the new Pokémon Go update uses. Discussion on Reddit mentions something called "Magisk" where you can toggle root on and off, which will let you run Pokémon Go when it's toggled off. However, Magisk (supposedly) requires an unlocked bootloader, which we don't have.

So if this is something doable, I'd really like to try it out... Is there a way to toggle root on/off without rebooting or must I reboot each time?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] elliwigy:
craziness in here.. i amgoing tobe honest andsay the op has good intentions but this guide isnotfor thefaint of heart lol lots of steps.. if some of them are missed it can have the opposite effect.

ipersonally recommend starting withthe 930u/935u rom, rooting, then using gov tuner and other mods such as lspeed and amplify andi recommend the base settings and battery on gov tuner...

its already debloated but if u want more debloat use tibu and just freeze apps in case it causes issues you can unfreeze..

theres alsosome roms floatin around for the 935x devices and maybe others that have everything baked in including fixes and debloats

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] nyr2k2:
eh you know it looked intimidating to me at first, but if you follow the steps closely it's extremely easy. getting root and flashing the fix are pretty straightforward.

I agree. Not much more difficult than any other root job. Plus some very good instructions to go along with it....thanks again to all involved in making this happen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] drfsupercenter:
Not true. I was using custom ROMs on my Motorola Droid 2 and 4 and those did not have unlocked bootloaders. You just need a custom recovery, which can be done on a locked bootloader (though you will almost certainly trip Knox if you do that)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Cm4nXD:
Not true the galaxy s7 from Verizon has a locked bootloader and I had no trouble flashing custom rom to that one.

Help w/ Verizon S7

I have an S7 from Verizon. I've followed the steps as listed in the PERMANENT ROOT section. When I clicked start in Odin 3.12 PrinceComsey, nothing seemed to happen. I had the d/l screen on the phone and all options in Odin became greyed out. After several minutes I gave up and rebooted the phone. Fortunately it came back up and wasn't bricked. The instructions don't say what to look for on the phone or the PC while Odin is performing the flash. I'd like to ask for some guidance before I attempt this again.

Is there anything else needed to provide assistance?

Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
I asked this early on when I first rooted my phone about which version of Odin to use for which variant.

If you check Princecomsy's page linked from here then it says to use his version of Odin for AT&T variant, but psouza4's OP says some people with AT&T variant have problems with Princecomsy's version???

Well for me.....I have AT&T g930a, us model, with latest ph1 update and I used Princecomsy's version of Odin and it worked perfect.

So non AT&T phones may want to try the non Princecomsy Odin.

It's also important that you have all the USB drivers and adb system and everything pointed and pathed correctly before during and after you get started.....that last part was for drama, but I hope you get my point.

Good luck.
