Well I tried with PD3 put it failed right off the bat with Odin.. Now downloading PG1 and will try to flash that instead..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Jeremi187:
PJ2 will be what u have to roll back to with Sprint... I think it's PH1 with Verizon.... Sounds like ur downloads are corrupted.... Which usually is a result of a poor connection or slow download speeds... If it's not too bad sometimes a zip/rar repair program will work. The better apps or programs usually have one built in. You just have to find the option. Hope this helps....

I'm having the same issue
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] doubledragon5:
I can't download through mega, it says my quota is meet.. I'm not paying for something I won't use on a regular bases... I will have to find a file from a different source.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Jeremi187:
What if u just make another mega account.... Different email and such....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] doubledragon5:
I could try that.. I personally like android file hosting.. I have a account, and never have to worry about paying for downloads.. I don't mind donating from time to time.. But to pay for a monthly or yearly sub, for something I won't use very much, is a waste of money.

I'm on APK 1 successfully rooted with data voice messaging. I posted on 109 about how to activate it. You have to use the APK disabler Pro and then go around with the apps that I have listed. I rooted it the second day I had that firmware

Yea that's how I did it on MM but it's not working on Nougat. Apparently from what I can tell it doesn't work anymore.

Idk I've tried two different cards. It's been glitchy or Samsung is making bad cards... The first time I did it a month ago everything was fine. Tried a second time and some parts of the card were "Unknown". Put a SanDisk in and have been good up until the Nougat upgrade A bunch of people on the Samsung members app are having the same problem.

Help! I believe I may have bricked my phone!

So I've done a few roots before, and I'll admit, I probably shouldn't have been messing around with this phone as now I'm in quite the pickle.:

First, I rooted from the APK1 software on my Sprint Galaxy S7 Edge device. All was going fine until I was unable to make calls or send text messages (LTE data worked fine).

So after being pissed, I decided to go back to stock.. My idiot self decided to use this guide (http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy...s-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039/page258) -- And it turns out that I tried to flash an OUTDATED software to my phone, and it did not work.

So, naturally i searched for the APK1 firmware to flash back to my phone, and I did find one, however I am getting a SECURE CHECK FAIL : PIT..

I am at a total loss of what to do. Please someone out there, help me fix my phone! I will be forever in your gratitude.

Thanks for reading!

*** UPDATE ***

I rebooted my phone, and after seeing the GS7 EDGE (Custom) Boot image, it dropped me into an Android Recovery menu.

From here I can Reboot, apply update from ADB, Wipe data, etc.

How should I proceed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Jeremi187:
Put in download mode. Odin correct stock firmware. Unless you want to root again?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Xevous92:
I'm sure this sounds very noobish, but how do I determine the correct firmware I need if I cannot boot the phone? I know that my firmware version was APK1, and I downloaded the firmware files for this version, but Odin keeps running into an error when trying to flash the firmware, and I either get a "aboot" error or a "PIT" error. That's my current dilemma.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Jeremi187:
Error is bc the bootloader version changed with PJ2.

You can use either of these. You can't hurt anything ..... Just pick one and flash it.

G935PVPS4APK1 most recent.

G935PVPS4APJ2 same chit diff day.

*Not responsible if your phone turns into a Note 7*

Lol jk no worries

disabled apps update

I have it down to 3 apps that need to be disabled for activation to stick on apk1 stock root. I started off with the 3 apps samsung DM phone interface, samsung DM service, and sec log agent. Then i used package disabler pro to disable all bloatware. From there the rest of the factory system apps i disabled were: boot agent, carrier setup wizard, com.android.carrierconfig, Config updater, DiagMonAgent, Ims logger, IPsec service, Mobile Installer, Preconfig, SAE, SCPM client, Setup Wizard, Silent logging, UrgentFWUpdateNfc.

IM not sure if it matters or not but i also installed xposed and enabled xTouchWiz and under security hacks i checked off fake system status and disable TIMA/KAP.

Before trying to activate make sure you have Chameleon, CMH provider, and DCM service enabled the go down to samsung dm phone interface and samsung dm service and enable them as well. From there go to settings, applications, application manager, then click show system apps. Then scroll down to the dm apps and clear there data. Back out and go down to activate device. After saying writing to device it displays sorry we are unable to activate call customer care blah blah dont hit any of the buttons done or exit but click on recent apps and go back to package disabler pro and disable the Chameleon, CMH provider, and DCM service, samsung dm phone interface, samsung dm service, and if you didnt install xposed and remove the security also disable the sec log agent. I dont have it in my apps it was removed. From there go back to recent apps and to the activation page and hit done. Phone will restart and when it boots up you will have data voice and text. I have had this since the 2nd day of the APK1 update. Im pretty sure the app that restarts and disables service after activation is the dcm service app. As i said before if anyone wants to fine tune this process feel free but i havent seen anyone successfully root and activate the apk1 firmware yet so i figured i would post this update. This is a little clearer than my first post was. hope it helps

Hello guys, after reading the #1, is it true that I only need to flash the attached file in Flashfire to root my s7 edge and no need to do any of the prvious steps?

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Jeremi187:
U can root it and flash Echoerom easy as 1,2,3.... As far as figuring out an exact method, well youre a lot further than I would be willing to go lol..... First time I rooted PJ2 all was good for a few hours, then it started dropping service and eventually boot loop, then gone.... If u figure it out let me know... I'm going through flashing withdrawal ??.... Kinda digging the Nougat though...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] BfunnY6t9:
Im waiting for the offical version to be released before i make the move. I just have to have root mainly for my sound mod. Has beats, dolby atmos, and viper makes a huge difference. Its not difficult just a few xtra steps than what the op has. Possibly 1 xtra eng kernal flash and disabling a few xtra apps and your good. I got lucky messing around and just disabled the correct apps. I was determined to have root. I got it but could not get it activated. Ya i had the note7 i miss the grace ui im dying for the official version. I just hope it can be easily rooted. If you disable the correct apps it will work ive done it about 10 times now. Just make sure to do the steps in the update reply and its smooth sailing. Its all the same as the op instructs just a few added steps.

How is your overall lag when using your phone? I got things working by flashing the universal rom through odin and then the verizon rom through odin, then echoerom on top, and i had service + data, but my phone lag made me lose my patience. I had to go back to stock sprint rom without root cause it was bugging me too much.

I just like to ask if APK1 is still rootable with the OP's method? And will it trip knox? The OP mentioned that it will not, but with the APK1 now I'm hesitating to root because it might trip knox.

I'm not sure where I went wrong...

I don't think I've ever posted in here but I've tried searching for answers on my own and I tried to unroot and go back to stock but nothing seems to work and I can't get my cell/LTE back, I've completed every step on the list multiple times and checked my downloads and versions and they're all correct it seems, so now I've completely deleted everything from my phone and am now back at square one and Knox seems to have been tripped somehow as the unlocked icon is there at startup... I'm lost and could use some help. :confused:

Here's my current firmware info, if someone could please link me to the proper download to either send my phone back to stock so I can start fresh or to the correct firmware version that needs to be installed to start the process over. On another note, when I try to install the separate AP/BL/CP/CSC files it always gives an error the majority of it being about the PIT file.

I have tried one other root guide and that didn't seem to work either, so I'm now turning to you guys because I really have run out of options on my own. Sorry for having to bug you guys. :(

Sorry taking so long to get back. I was out of town for the past week. I can upload the Xposed Framework and installer that I used in my Google Drive. For the data issue you need to go through and edit your build.prop.

ro.cdma.default_numeric=310000 to 310120

ro.cdma.default_alpha=Chameleon to Sprint

ro.build.characteristics=Chameleon to Sprint

If it's an APN issue I also have the Sprint APN zip file you can Flash using Flashfire. I'll put that in that folder as well. If you have any other questions just let me know

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5AfudcH1XDQWFEtS0phVVJsREU

Also for some reason it won't let me upload The Xposed installer application. It's very easy to find just Google XDA XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.

That will work on APK one that is the firmware I did it on. I had the APJ2 firmware and didn't have that figured out until I took the APK1 update. I have root but I couldn't get it activated. After I took the APK1 firmware I was bound and determined to have root in activation but after tinkering I figured out a way to do it. If you have any issues just let me know there's a post a few pages back that is a little more specific then the first post I uploaded
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] mjjcb:
I don't know what I did wrong, bc I feel like I did everything it said to do in the OP. I'm on AKP1, and I went through the steps, disabled the 3 packages, flashed the tar file in Odin, unzipped the SU file and installed the one, but I couldn't get root.

I tried it a few time, never managing to have access to the build prop editor or be able to save the changes to the BP in Solid Explorer. I ended up reverting back to stock which took me longer than it should have, bc I forgot I'd need to enable the three packages again.

All that, and I had to set up everything from scratch with no nandroid to back up to. I'll rethink my process and monitor this thread to give it another go sometime.

Unrooted to Stock Firmware PE1 error updating

Hello and Happy New Year,

I recently unrooted my phone was experiencing extreme heat ups. I had followed all the suggestions on this thread and others finally gave up. I use my phone for UBER driving as well as normal use. I've experienced my phone locking up in the middle of driving passengers and I had to explain that I had to reboot etc... It was a nightmare I unrooted back to PE1. When I purchased my phone I never had the chance to update so it was stock when I rooted it, anyway my situation is after unrooting, my phone works fine except that I can't update to the latest firmware keeps saying "update failed see Samsung Service Center". I've tried downloading firmwares and when I tried extracting them they are all broken. Can anyone provide a Stock Firmware zip file that I can use. It really bugs me that I can't use my phone to it's full extent. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi!

I've been trying to follow up with rooting instructions, but package disabler did not pass through license verification. Got a refund from the developer. I believe it is smth with KLMS since no pop up with permission request appears on the screen. I have sprint sim unlocked SGS7E 935p.

Any suggestions?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] vegoja:
You can root the latest firmware easy actually. All you have to do is disable chameleon, dcm service, and cmh provider with your package disabler before you flash the eng boot.img. Then set your apns after you root and you will have a fully stock rooted rom with working calls, text, and data.

Thanks again for any help/ideas on this questions. :)

Yes ur phone can get warm after the root process especially if it's plugged in. And for the lag turn your animations off in developer options and get l speed from the play store. I'm also on unlocked firmware pl3 so I have little bloat on my stock rom.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] colormedroid:
Alright, so after today's festivities I got home to try your method. Now take this with a grain a salt because I tried it with the PE1 update but it didn't exactly go as planned. I odin'd to PE1, let it go through the full activation process and then tried to do your method. I wasn't able to get back LTE but combining your method and my method allowed me to get back LTE and be rooted on PE1 with a better faster experience than PC5. Almost no lag as of right now with no additional apps installed. The good thing is that I didn't have to factory reset and re-sign into my google account. That being said, I did have to do my method of going into settings and manually activating but it was easier than before. I will reply back tomorrow (technically today) and try to see if your method works with PC5 or even PD3 (firmware updates according to sprint). Hopefully we get some stuff figured out tomorrow. But your method did speed up things! :good:

Righto my friend. At sprint, we will be selling them sometime in the coming weeks. Its a big deal for us, but I had the same questions. Will that mean an unlockable bootloader?
