[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sandman997:
Usually when i get a new phone the girst thing i do is root, but since i got my s7 edge on contract with Vodafone i havent and was wondering whats the pros and cons of rooting it. The main reason id like to root is to get some of the note 7 apps working
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Shoubyy:
i second this, i've had a rooted note3 but i recently got a S7 edge and i'm wondering if i should root it.

usually i root for Youtube Adblock, Youtube background and snapprefs.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Phazonclash:
Well, in my case that was a no brainer.

Rooting allows you to:

1) Debloat the stock ROM

2) Try different ROMs bringing useful modules/features

3) Use different kernels allowing more performance, more battery life, enabling features, tweaking governors, frequencies, etc.

4) Getting the newest updates instantly. No more rollout waiting, crappy carriers holding the update, etc.

5) Possibility to install Xposed and use very useful modules

6) Using ROMs/Apps that weren't made for the S7/Edge initially

7) The community often takes care of issues/bugs withing a few days/weeks that sometimes take Samsung months to fix

Downside:

-You trip Knox. It can cause problems with the warranty

-Say bye-bye to Samsung Pay. (Not a big problem in my case, as Samsung Pay is unavailable where I live)

-Using Android Pay requires using a different root method than Chainfire's SuperSU

-Some apps will refuse to run when root is detected (Snapchat for example. Not a big loss as far as I'm concerned) without using specific tweaks/fixes

-You can **** up your phone if you don't know what you're doing, how to restore the stock ROM (Odin), etc. Documentation exists for newbies

I live in Australia and samsung pay doesn't work with my bank, neither does android pay. I have to use my banks default app
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] latino147:
Is there any hope atm that a new root method that doesn't trip knox will ever be available? I'm aching to root mine too, but I'm a bit scared about losing your warranty :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sandman997:
When i had my note 4 it was rooted and on contract, one day it overheated and the screen didnt turn on. I took it to my vodafone shop for repairs expecting to have to pay but they sent me a new phone. Maybe i just got lucky. But i guess its easier for them to check if ur phones rooted now by just checking samsung pay to see if it works
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] latino147:
Well that's the thing. It seems a bit like a lottery now. For some it was no issue, for other it certainly was, maybe depending on the country too :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sandman997:
The whole reason i want to root is to get the note 7 apps and maybe later a note 7 rom, but im not sure if its worth it for a few apps
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Phazonclash:
To be honest, I rolled back yesterday from a Note 7 ROM to the stock S7 ROM (Efficient). The N7 port ROMS are great, look beautiful and they can be used as a daily driver at this point, but they still have little issues that are annoying.

In my case, battery life isn't as good as what I get with Efficient ROM (based on the stock firmware)

If you have a Samsuns camera sensor, every modes now work, but the pictures look very faded, the colors look weird

I'll probably reinstall a N7 port ROM envetually, but I'll wait... still too many stuff not working as it should
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] adl:
I rooted my Samsung Galaxys since the Galaxy S1 but with the S7 I still haven't. I use Package Disabler Pro (works without root) to stop everything bloatish and stuff I don't use and battery life is pretty amazing (not sure if it could get any better with root). Some stuff would be nice to have (center clock + date in Statusbar for example), which only a custom ROM would offer and also adblocker really would be useful. The overall performance of the S7 Edge is great, even unrooted. Performance usually was, what a was bugging me the most, that's why I rooted, debloated, flashed kernels etc. Not really feel to do so this time.

Well i just got the S7 edge on a contract last year so i have a year left on my contract and in Australia the Note 7 is around $1200 so thats too expensive

as i already stated in the OP: haters gonna hate :D

i for one think this really mirrors the real life performance of this CPU: its just way smoother than everything else out there ;) naturally, software also plays a vital role here [MENTION=254197]Laggy[/MENTION] touchwiz ^^
[Mate 8 General] daser4berlin:
Yes but CPU is one side of the medal software the other.. U have nothing from an powerful CPU/GPU power when your phone hast an bad programmed OS/software but huawei did an good job.. Cheers
[Mate 8 General] tippete:
No, but really, saying that a CPU is better than others for a SINGLE test in a SINGLE benchmark is crap

ehi look here! the Exynos 8890 has the best score in single thread! it must be so powerful

http://www1-lw.xda-cdn.com/files/2016/09/Single-core-average-1.png

/sarcasm

don't forget that there's also the GPU, the ram and the storage speed, how it compares vs the other devices?

I'm happy with my Mate 8 and the Kirin 950, is a pretty powerful and efficient cpu, but it's not the best
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
it IS the best cpu ;) i wasnt talking about ram, gpu or storage (although, funnily, the gpu compute benchmark suite in geekbench 4 shows higher scores than the S7 ;) ), only the cpu. and in that regard, the kirin 950/955 inches its way onto the no. 1 spot. and im talking multicore performance, not single core [emoji14]

besides, cpu performance is actually the main contributing factor (on the hardware side) for everyday operational smoothness. gpu isnt the bottleneck outside of games and ram reaches a performance plateau extremely fast, beyond which theres barely any performance boost. as for storage, that doesnt come into the picture unless ure working with either huge/super complex apps (mostly not the case) or during boot (lots of small file size iops required).

so....yeah. i rest my case ^^

Can somebody help me please, I tried installing a cab of the HTC Action Screen app from the touch dual on my Herald, after installing I noticed that the top right corner of my screen was not responding to my stylus taps. tried realigning the screen still no joy.

So I uninstalled the app but I still have the screen alignment issue, is there anyway to fix this without a hard reset?

sorry if this is posted in the wrong section as I didnt know if this was just a herald problem or if everybody had this problem?
[General Topics] Just about right:
It could be an old issue with a new device. Back in the day of PPC's it was found that some screen protectors slid under the case of the touch screen causing the screen to not respond appropriately. If you have recently put on a new screen protector or removed one, check the area just beyond the location where it is not responding. You might find something holding the screen down permenantly causing it to not respond. If there is nothing there and none of the things are present, I too am at a loss.
[General Topics] wovens:
Just an idea.

Did you try a soft reset to remove the remnants of the application you removed?
[General Topics] s4vva:
@Just about right

Dont think it is the screen protector as I have had the same one on since I bought the device (almost a year now) without any problems.

@wovens

yep tried that

Ineterestingly if I open notes and tap the screen I get a dot in the right place, if I tap the top right corner it draws a vertical line downwards from the top right to the bottom. In the meantime what I have done is run the screen alignment, placed the styles in the middle of all '+' except the one in the top right corner. For the one in the top right corner I aimed a little lower than the centre, this allows me to click the X in the top right with the stylus if I aim above the box. not ideal but it will do for now as I dont have the time to reset this week...

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] maverick1103:
Hi all,

About two months ago I had a problems with my notifications, they suddenly stopped vibrating when one came through, this applied to both the loud and vibrate profiles, although phone calls vibrated it was just the notifications.... roll on a month later and it started happening again!

I totally forgot the settings I changed to fix the issue previously so over the last week or so I've been checking what could be the cause, I then found the culprit, for some reason the vibration intensity for notifications was set to zero, why this was set I don't know.

I've tried to replicate this problem by changing the sound profiles to see if the vibration intensity will go back to zero and it hasn't, I've manually enabled D.N.D that doesn't change it, therefore I'm puzzled what has caused this to change by itself, any ideas? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] martinburke:
Very same issue dude, S7. Did you find a fix ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] maverick1103:
I never did; it's happened several times since, normally about a month apart, at least I know how to fix it now. I'm running the nougat beta atm so will be interesting to see if it happens in this.

0x00 Preparation

Here are something you will need.

1. HTC Driver

2. adb & fastboot

PC:

Install HTC Driver the decompress ADB-Windows.zip.

Phone:

Go to (Settings -> About -> Software information -> More -> Build number), Tap it 7 times to enable developer options.

Go to (Settings -> Developer options), Check OEM unlocking and USB debugging options.

PC:

Go to ADB-Windows folder and hold Shift + Right Mouse Click the click open command windows here.

Input the command below to test adb function.

adb devices

0x01 Unlock Bootloader

Input the command to reboot to download mode.

adb reboot download

Download mode is same as fastboot in bootloader on old devices, so you must to do UNLOCK, FLASH or RUU in download mode.

Go to HTCdev website to unlock bootloader, you can search many guides on Google.

0x02 Flash TWRP Recovery

TWRP 3.0.2-0

Reboot to download mode and flash recovery.

adb reboot download
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-e56ml.img

After flash recovery, reboot to bootloader then BOOT TO RECOVERY MODE.

0x03 Format Data

Wipe -> Format Data -> type yes to format data

Please reboot to recovery after formatting.

0x04 Install SuperSU

Please download SuperSU v2.78, i've test this version and work like a charm.

Before flashing su, please ensure that BOOT image is stock.
[HTC One X9] schuertzi:
Looks good. Have to questions: Will that also work for the DualSim version?

Is the TWRP not the test version, where need a password?

Thx a lot.
[HTC One X9] sabpprook:
I have tested on dual-sim device (Taiwanese model) but single-sim devices, need volunteer to test it.

In this situation TWRP will request password, stock BOOT and boot into android once, in the meanwhile userdata will be encrypted.

BUT you won't do nothing if you flash TWRP, just format the userdata and install SuperSU, encryption doesn't matter anymore.
[HTC One X9] schuertzi:
OK thx. So, you tried it with the DualSim version. That's great. But I don't know how to stock Boot and boot into Android? Can you help me with that? Thx a lot.
[HTC One X9] sabpprook:
FORMAT userdata via TWRP

Reboot to download mode

Flash stock BOOT image

Reboot

Thx again.

I have tried this and as soon as I install twrp the phone is soft bricked. It does not even start if I reinstall stock recovery.

Now I use magisk.

I downgraded my phone to 2.17.401.1 (with RUU) and then updated via ota to 2.23.401.1.

Then installed TWRP. From there I installed all three files from the links in the magisk section. Booted into recovery and installed the two zip-files, this time I had to format data to be able to install.

When booted I installed magisk manager from my download directory and Phils superuser app from play store.

Checked root with Root checker to confirm. :)

-.- folllowed instructions on single sim wont boot past htc logo. great job. should have informed us of password or something to actually allow full access so this doesnt happen. how to restore the phone as it wouldnt even let me do a backup in recovery before hand.... and your comments just said do it anyway

edit:

i may have swiped factory reset not format data. this may be my issue. just gotta wait 3 hours to download my original boot image now -.- will post back withupdate

#update:

I know this is old, but I really need help. i followed the instruction until i reboot into recovery mode. The twerp asked me to the provide decryption password. i didn't have it, so I went to Reboot> Power Off within twerp. After that, my phone goes into endless htc logo loop whenever I turn on. Is there any way to solve this.
[HTC One X9] sabpprook:
this rooting guide is outdated but it should still work, all you need is following the instruction to wipe the data and then flash supersu zip or Magisk for alternative choice after that your device should be worked.

the issue of hanging on htc logo is caused by data forceencrypt, and twrp will touch the metadata that will make device can not decrypt data partition and unable to bootup device.
[HTC One X9] IRONwolf_x9:
Need help plz

Im new to Android rooting and I need a little help. I am going to root my phone but the guide uses a windows OS but currently I'm only using macos, so I need help with the adb and fastboot. And just asking about the twrp and supersu do they still run fine or should I use a newer version. Thanks if anyone is out there.
[HTC One X9] sabpprook:
https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html

download sdk-tools for Mac and unpack it, then use the command to update tools library, you can find the adb & fastboot in "platform-tools" folder

HTCdriver

Since Im on MacOS I can't install the HTC driver you show on the guide
[HTC One X9] m3johan:
If mac is anything like Linux then you dont need the drivers.

Twrp works fine, you dont need to format data either, if you dont want to.

Personally magisk worked better for me. Supersu did not work at all, the only result was a non starting phone.

This is how I did the last time

I installed twrp on a fresh phone and flashed magisk.zip from twrp recovery without formatting the data partition.

Then restarted and edited the locale file. There is no swedish by default so I had to add it.

Then a factory reset and configuration of the phone.

If you need the phone to pass the safety net then you cant format data.

[HTC One X9] IRONwolf_x9:
Do I just use the newest version of Magisk?

I do not understand when you say "If you need the phone to pass the safety net then you cant format data."

Should I make a backup in twrp before rooting?

Btw thanks for the suggestion to use Magisk.
[HTC One X9] m3johan:
Safety net: If you have apps that depends on your phone not beeing tampered with, then you cannot format your data partition. More info here: safetynet explained, why android pay and other apps dont work on rooted devices/

Unfortunately TWRP cant backup your data partition if it is encrypted, you need to have it decrypted to backup either via password or format the data partition. TWRP will ask you for a password to decrypt data.

I use the latest version of magisk, 14.2 and did not format my data partition. :)

Edit: You can try a newer version of twrp, twrp-3.1.1-0-e56ml_zh.img

[HTC One X9] sabpprook:
Let me explain why could this be happened.

HTC One X9 brings forceencrypt data flag with original firmware, and you wipe the data but didn't root your device, therefore device will hang there.

Two options for you

1. reboot to TWRP recovery and flash magisk or supersu

2. flash RUU zip to revert back to stock firmware
