[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CowboyJak:
Still no luck. Here is what I am doing. I assume because I have the sch i545 VRSGPL1 December 2016 security update, I cannot downgrade an older firmware or add a custom recovery TWRP. If that is untrue please let me know. It seems like no one has a specific answer on that.

So I have been have system restored and done a factory reset and wiped my cache each time I restart.

Odin==>> Flash VRSGPL1 firmware

Wait. Go through process.

Build number 7 times. Developer options. USB debugging. Shut lock swipe off and set it to none. In security, I have added install from unknown sources.

Install rootcheck.

-Root with Kingroot 4.1 on my phone.

Wait.

Install apk installer, terminal emulator and file explorer on my phone. Then I move my super su file.

Use the file <replace king use with super su v2.4> and use terminal emulator to type "su" enter and then type "sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh" enter and this always installs supersu but I always see some file mentioning it is missing. Still it works and replaces Kingroot and confirms in rootcheck.

Then I move the apk flashfire v53 and install it with apk.

At this point everything always is fine and working. The issue always becomes with XPOSED so PLEASE tell me if I am missing something. I have systematically tried all the files from here

https://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3113463

First, I move xposedinstaller 3.1.1 apk onto my phone and install with apk installer. Then I started with the Xposed v86 zip (because I read that the other zip files are for custom recovery) but I have now tried v85 and all these frameworks xposed v75 sdk21 arm on the link and flashed them in Flashfire. I always uncheck everything in the wipe part and then select Dalvik cache and cache partition and use the flash button.

I do not have custom recovery and if I can downgrade to get it I would like to do that. I have some of the older firmwares. Anyway at this point I...

Wait.

It opens and when I open the xposedinstaller it always says the same thing. Am I missing a step in the installer????????? Please help I am going nuts.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bilgerryan:
You can downgrade with Odin (at least with the last two updates). There is no custom recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CowboyJak:
I am baffled. I would love to use the modules of Xposed but I cannot for the life of me, get the program to work right.

Is there something different about the SCH I545 that is halted my progress?

When Flashfire flashes and resets I am not doing anything else but opening the XposedInstaller and it always says "Not Installed" with some message about your touchwiz ROM is not capable. It says that I can't root with Kingroot to start as well.

Do I need to do something in the XposedInstaller that I am not doing? All I see is a bunch of installations and install with custom recovery.

I have successfully downloaded and installed some modules but they won't actually work. It just says Xposed is not installed.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bilgerryan:
You have to flash the zip with Flashfire and have the Xposed Installer installed or none of it will work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xqme:
kingoroot rooted I545VRSGPL1, aka "PL1" or "pl1" here.

I then used the TWRP App to download and install TWRP 3.2.1 I think it is currently.

On reboot into recovery, boot fails with a KERNEL warning. That warning is for having a different kernel.

Reboot normal also failed with the KERNEL warning. At that point, some people assume they have a brick.

I tried taking battery out. That made regular boot work. Unbricked.

Sometimes taking battery out makes no diff. Then it seems to be just a certain number of repeats of 3-button hold down into recovery mode and/or go into adb mode then out, back to recovery.

Eventually recovery mode works, but stock recovery is back. No way out of this, but no harm done. kingoroot sticks, but there's a warning that sticks.

We may be able to replace kingoroot with SuperSU.

Rashr will burn a recovery, too, like TWRM App and TWRM Manager, but still the KERNEL warning and lock up will come up, and we cycle through reboots and removing battery and adb mode, until stock recovery is written back and recovery works, and regular boot works.

Stuck with stock recovery. That may install custom roms if they have md5 sigs?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bilgerryan:
This device has a locked bootloader. You can't install a custom recovery. Root and use Flashfire v.53 (anything newer doesn't play nice with this device).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] billa:
I still can't believe some people are trying to install custom recovery ... lmfao ... it has been rehashed so many times that it has a locked bootloader, and that's that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bilgerryan:
People don't do their research first... I'm just trying to keep them from bricking. I don't even habe this device anymore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] StoneyJSG:
I was wondering the samething. It seems no ROMs exist for PL1, which makes me believe you have downgrade to OFx or OCx to boot a custom ROM. I could be wrong, as I just got my Verizon galaxy s4 and it seems to be a little complicated. I'm used to the AT&T s4 that has the Loki exploit available on the MDL bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jagster936:
I did it yes it works. I didn’t like to went back to stock rooted PL1. Kingroot then supersume to remove kingroot and install supersu
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jagster936:
CowboyJak did you ever get this to work? I want xposed on Verizon S4 PL1 firmware. Also

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] lloydlim996:
My phone is approaching it's 1 year warranty period, and I'm ready to root the device, trip my Knox, and unleash the beast.

I'm looking for a lightweight ROM alternative for the stock rom. I love the ROM, but I can also live without the extra features as I used to own a Nexus device. Either the lightest Google ROM or lightest TouchWiz made for the S7.

The main reason for this is that I used to own a Nexus which was capable of running 1GB RAM idle with the app's that I use. However, on the S7, I found that my phone is using double the resources. I want there to be a lot of power reserve just in case I run power intensive apps and save battery. I also want the ROM as compatible to the S7 (S7 ROM modified, not a Pixel ROM altered to work for an S7) as I don't want to run into compatibility issues in the longer run (just bring paranoid). What's a recommended ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jacobw15:
Hydra ROM is one of my faviroute tw roms, it gives you the edge screen functionality and has some small customisations in the rom control, it has great ram management, performance and battery life. You could check out shark jungle's review on it on yt I found that helpful
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dark_prince:
My colleague at work recently purchased a verizon Galaxy S7 (flat not edge) and it came preloaded with a PE1 firmware.

Phone worked well for first 2 days then it started forceclosing apps (mostly google play services, google play, samsung pay and S-voice) which became more vigorous over the period of 2 more days. He brought the phone to me 'cause apparently I'm the tech guy to-go-to when it comes to android phones. Nevetheless, I booted the phone into bootloader and saw that Bootloader is of G930A (At&t) model. Rebooted phone and checked it has baseband of G930A model.

At first I became scared that this is one of those chinese refurbished counterfeit copies which have mtk chipset in them and retailed to fool the simple customers. I ran AIDA-64 & CPU-Z and to my surprise it correctly identified 4GB of LPDDR4 ram, 32GB of internal storage, and a SnapDragon 820 processor. Checked IMEI and it told me its Sprint S7.

Putting hardware out of the question, I came to judgement that this phone is been badly toyed with crossflashing. So What I did was downloading the PI3 firmware of G930U. I tick marked re-partition as well so that the phone boots ALL from the full wipe. Its first boot was fine after flashing but I started getting random reboots every 5 minutes, rebootloop even!

I tried to factory reset + cache clear and charge phone to 100% and to my success I did it while sitting on the welcome screen of startup setup.

I, then flashed Sprint S7 firmware PK1 from Sprint. (G930P). Phone booted fine, configured okay but threw me out an invalid sim card error and refused to take my sim. While the phone was unlocked before and working fine on GSM/3G/LTE, it blacks out on network for me now. Assuming I have the infamous Sprint sim-lock on my phone I shut down the phone.

I, then flashed the At&t PK1 firmware for G930A. Phone boots fine, configures fine. Now it is sim-locked out of the blue and I cant use network at all. I have random forcecloses and reboots but my phone doesnt bootloop when it is on AT&T firmware.

Conclusion,

Phone has corruption in its storage which odin cant even reformat.

Even if I choose repartition, I still end up with stupidity from previous firmware. (For example if I flash G930U firmware after G930P, I end up in Sprint handsfree activation EVEN IF I WIPE DATA/CACHE/Factory Reset)

I have flashed this phone about 13 times in past 18 hours to no success.

I have changed USB cables (I have a 6-inch Micro USB cable, a 1.5 ft one, a genuine Samsung one and a genuine HTC one) and every cable passes the Odin flashing process successfully.

I have used USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports on my laptop, even changed windows (between 7 and 8.1, two separate computers).

WHAT I NEED HELP WITH IS:

Someone who can tell me the steps to FULLY WIPE THE PHONE and FLASH from STOCK. Odin is not working for the FULLY WIPE PART despite I tick repartition.

Also, the back cover of the phone doesn't contain the information about serial/imei.

If I put S/N from *#06# into Smart Switch, it says it is invalid for any of the phone models (A, P, T, U, V models)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] peachpuff:
What a cluster****, where did you friend get it? Used?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dark_prince:
IKR! Well, he got it from a local seller who sells stuff @ 3-days checking warranty. Thinking that the F & FD models are mostly refurbished chinese crap, he got mugged on USA model as well :/

Now Im trying to revive the phone but seemingly I can't format the cache partition.

If I NAND Erase all from Odin and install AP + BL + CP only, the phone ends up crashing everything at Welcome screen. If I flash CSC as well, phone gets crazy bootlooping.

All that happens while I get dm-verity verification failed on every official firmware I flash.

I have flashed U, T, P, A firmwares and the P firmware got me simlocked as well.... freakin' bummer that Sprint models come with a genuine simlock now instead of software-based simlock (the Handsfree activation junk). After I flashed U firmware from P firmware, I got straight up handsfree activation too.

The phone has crazy ghost storage shi** even if I NAND Erase all and flash another firmware, I can still see the phone booting out of custom logo (if I previously tried eng-boot kernel to root phone and delete the bloatware).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Virnik0:
I experienced this on SGS10+. Odin is able to flash and re-partition, the OS boots, but once I load up ~5GB to internal /data (apps installations), the system starts lagging as hell, kernel throws out IO errors, and I am forced to reboot. Upon reboot, it tries to boot the ROM, only to fall down to recovery. Recovery also reports /data corruption. If I run e2fsck on it, it deletes half of the storage, rendering the phone unable to boot. If I reflash with stock or LOS17, the situation repeats as soon as sufficient amount of data is loaded to it. I ended-up purchasing replacement motherboard, as it seems that this is related to this particular device (I have another one with the same ROM/kernel/recovery, which works fine).
