[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] saf4xdadev:
READ THIS FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING STEPS AND FILES IN THE OP.

The main part of the OP.....boot.tar and root.bat work fine, just read the steps in the op and make sure your phone and computer are set up correctly per the op. One way to avoid path issues is to put all the necessary files into one folder on the computer that way everything will work and run like it should without issue. Otherwise make sure your path is set correctly so adb and root.bat will work properly. It's also ok to run root.bat twice and sometimes even needed.

The supersu binary will nag you to update. You can turn off updates in play store account or just say yes and let it try to update. In the end, the update says it fails and you will reboot your phone and that will be the end of that.....no more nagging.

The V15 FIX AND DEBLOAT part of the OP is where a lot of problems occur with most phones. For everybody and every phone that is on any carrier and any firmware (other than Nougat of course) only flashfire the v15 fix for 'any samsung galaxy s7'. Do not and repeat do not use any of the carrier specific fixes as they are all out of date and will most likely hose your phone. As for the debloat, DO NOT DEBLOAT at all ever, any phone any firmware, just dont debloat as it will definetly hose your phone. The debloat is way out of date so everyone should only v15 fix for all phones, not carrier specific.

If you're going to flashfire a custom rom like stang5litre then you can skip the v15 fixes since the fixes are all baked in stang's custom rom found here, https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galax...-edition-5-0-s7e-rom-s7-t3453441/post68492282 but it won't hurt either.

AS FOR XPOSED.....personally, I wouldn't mess with it. But it does have some good mods and I do use it on my Sony Tablet, so for some advice, READ.

RETURNING TO STOCK part is another place everyone runs into problems as all of the linked firmware in the op is way out of date since the samsung galaxy s7 bootloader can not be rolled back to an older revision. So before rooting it's a good idea to locate and download your current firmware version, based on bootloader revision, or newer, and for sure not Nougat, and keep it on your computer to odin back to stock if needed. So nobody should use any of the firmware linked in the OP since it is all old and outdated and you won't be able to use it anyway to return to stock.

Check updato.com or sammobile.com or xda for new and current firmware for your phone. If you at&t there's http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-galaxy-s7-firmware/

One last item is you will need to use stock odin 3.12 or 3.12.3 when returning to stock. Princecomsy odin is only for the engboot kernel.....which is the boot.tar file.

ADDITIONAL SETTINGS: Turn off or freeze Securitylogagent and turn off 'security policy updates' in settings. You can also turn off app updates from playstore account.

When finished with all this procedures your phone might feel a bit laggy and maybe hot but after a few reboots it will all quiet down and run smoothly as it should. So don't panic and think you did something wrong and start trying to return to stock right away until after you've given it a few hours to settle in......chances are you did everything correctly and the phone just needs to do its thing.

I'm not trying to step on any toes. Myself and [MENTION=7387489]Krog18[/MENTION], as well as others, have been helping people with these same issues, time and time again, throughout this thread. So hopefully this will help some.
