Any method to go back without flashing and losing data? can i use the home_csc and not lose data?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] toolhas4degrees:
if you use smartswitch you will keep 80% but it doesn't save everything. then odin back to stock then recover from smartswitch

Root before recovering files

Quick question for the experts. All data on my phone was wiped accidently last night, putting on a new case in the car, good times. Don't ask me how it happened. The only thing that I would like to get back are some recent burst photos saved to the phone. I ran some recovery apps, but they all say I need to root before anything can be recovered. My questions...Will rooting enable be to get these pictures back? If so is there anything different I should do or just follow the guide, I have rooted before, but not since my old S4. Thanks in advance for any help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Lochman79:
If your pics are no longer on your internal storage (check via a file manager/DCIM/Camera), then no way of getting them back unless you backed them up to some sort of cloud storage (Samsung cloud, Google photos, Amazon photos).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] FoxyDrew:
That's very untrue, nothing is gone forever. You must know that if you spend any time with technology or on the internet.

If you wiped your phone, but didn't flash a new firmware to it, there is a semi-good chance you can retrieve those photos with the right software. Since you already wiped everything anyways, I'd try to root (yes just follow the guide), and see what you can do. Worst comes to worst you can't get the pictures back and you just flash back to stock and unroot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] d33dvb:
The official unroot without data loss should be mentioned in the OP if you care to update it. You flash the nougat update in odin, but use the home_csc when flashing. All system changes get undone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] nitroevo:
if done this way will that replace the horrible eng boot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] afaneh92:
No this hijacks modified twrp recovery at boot stage and this need eng boot.

Magisk on routed S7e with locked bootloader

Do you know if Magisk has been successfully installed on any of the US variants of S7E running rooted Nougat?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Cm4nXD:
EDIT:

So the kernal and bootloader are two different things I guess. Either way, flashing stock BL after rooting seems to fix lag for some reason. Download for just the BL for ONLY Verizon Galaxy S7 FLAT SM-G930V IS attached.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] nitroevo:
But when that's done you can't continue using the root apps correct? Like freedom n Adaway n all that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Cm4nXD:
Reread it. Yes at first, but then it hit me I could flash the BL without unrooting it and keep root and excellent performance. All my root apps work.

---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------

I will say this, there does seem to be some slight lag, but I think it's because of the stuff I have on my phone, because it's the same slight stutters I got on stock. I have tons of apps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] nitroevo:
I did read it but what I want to be sure of is like.. If you download more root apps after flashing the stock bl it would still read it as rooted? That's what I'm curious of. Not the ones that were installed prior to flashing to stock bootloader over it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Cm4nXD:
I just went and installed SE-Linux mode changer after this, and gave it root permission. It worked fine. Everything about root seems to be working for me. Including build prop edits and file system mods. Also sorry if I came off a little harsh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] j3ffm1ll:
do you have viper4androide installed and is it still working after flashing the stock BL?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Cm4nXD:
The onlything I having tried is flashing stuff with flashfire. Idk id that will work.

---------- Post added at 03:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------

I do not but I can install it right now. I just need the zip installer right? I think I still have it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] j3ffm1ll:
that is pretty much the only thing that I really use root for but it wasnt worth the lag
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Cm4nXD:
Well try it and see if it works any better. I don't really use viper Idk how to even, but I'll look into and see if it works. I'll have to research how to use viper tho.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] nitroevo:
It's fine. Well if that's how it worked makes me wish I was on marshmallow still so I could test this out with xposed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Cm4nXD:
In theory this could work on marshmallow, if it worked on nougat why not right? But you would need the Stock BL for what ever firmware you are on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] nitroevo:
Meh wish I had a spare s7 edge to try this on lol don't wanna clear all the crap off my phone ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] biikman:
But after you finish flashing eng, rooting, then flashing the stock bootloader, you are still on the eng kernel, which is why you are still rooted after bl flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Cm4nXD:
So I went to check out what you ment in the settings app, you are right. But if this is true, how come flashing the Stock BL improves the performance?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] nitroevo:
I guess kernel n bootloader are 2 different things idk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] biikman:
Short term it may with the reboot after flashing.. but I'm guessing it won't last.

---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

exactly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Cm4nXD:
If that is the case how come the kernal is flashed in BL slot?

Could it be possible to flash the Stock kernal and keep root?

Ok, I'll report back in a week, see if anything changes, or until lag returns.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] biikman:
I've never seen it posted anywhere to use the BL SLOT for kernel flash. Always AP for kernel or firmware. But glad it's working for you :)

Why don't you guys flash my hybrid Rom it uses stock boot.img so no lag. It passes safteynet Samsung pay works. Is root that important

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] nitroevo:
How does it use stock..? Every other one I have seen use the eng boot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] freak69ize:
It's not rooted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] nitroevo:
Meh I'm getting tired of this phone. If they didn't screw up with the note 7 crap I'd still be properly rooted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
You start with a rooted phone and by the time you follow my directions you will have a debloated rom of your choice with many extra features added and enabled including hotspot fix call recording host ad blocking not vpn ad blocking my zip will remove root put back stock kernel and you will still have a custom rom that passes safetynet checks samsung pay works. Give it a try and see for yourself
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] nitroevo:
So what if I download more apps that require root in the future afterwards..? Will I have to do the procedure again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
What is your main reason for having root? Most peoples main reason is ad blocking and debloating and customization of rom. Most apps you use that require root are just used for one purpose then you dont use them again. Unless your wanting to run kernel auditors and tweeks that require root all the time and in our case your only running them because eng boot.img is such crap that you need them just to use your phone. So if you download an app that needs root to do something reroot your phone do your thing follow my direction flash my zip dont wipe data and your back to stock kernel safetynet passing system. Even this is possible notice the status bar

rooted the VZW OTA seems OK a lil laggy but phone just got rooted so thats to be expected...I still have the VoLTE icons and the security warning and Super Su is asking me if I want to disable KNOX, I've never seen any of this before, What am I missing?.....I also noticed A lot of the mention for VZW volte icon fix and cant find it...And also mentions of ROM Control in a settings that seems like a t-mobile thing I'm on OTA Verizon so My Nougat doesn't have it...Unless again I missed something, can someone clarify my steps I used the D/L in the OP and Flashed via ODIN then rebooted, and Flashed the root bat via adb Theoretically I should be rooted on an eng version, I don't see any signs of that in my About section, everything is looking like a stock VZW set up, so firstly How do I disable the Security Warning i assume using an explorer and disabling IMMservice but i am a little unsure...secondly where do I find the VZW volte fix in this Thread?. I have an older one from the mm root method will that work here?....any guidance would be awesome!!

Few things:

-Is there any work still being done to get the bootloader unlocked? This dev thread no longer seems to be only devs, rather a bunch of "+1s", "thanks", and "tweet posts". All great posts, but not dev related.

- All devs on this thread are without a doubt better than I regarding android roms, unlocking, etc, but thought id throw a few ideas it here. (Im new to this type of dev). Maybe i can provide new hope? I just recently got the s7 and found out the hard way the current status woth no way to get custom roms. I know the chain of trust, verity, etc are a major buzzkill, but parts have all been hacked before so we can't Judy throw in the towel, can we?!

- http://newandroidbook.com this has a lot of good material, this guy is a genius, too bag he isn't working on this! (Download the book there & supplements).

Couple of actual ideas:

-He mentions in the book, with root you should be able to modify parts of partitions. Add long as you don't modify the entire partition it wont check for integrity on startup. Now that root exists, is Amy of this possible, to modify three partitions and unlock the bootloader?

- He also talks about how the chain of trust works using signed keys, and where to find these keys in the actual image file; since we know exactly where the keys are, and what's expected, can't we fake it with a custom image using a binary editor? He (in that link) also refers to his free tools to inspect, etc.

Remember when wet push via odin the phone isn't online so had no way to verify via internet if something is in fact legit. Hacks happen all the time with fake digital signatures and keys, certs, etc.

- In other words, now that root exists in the engineering kernel, Im thinking new doors have opened.

Thoughts? Hope?!

Thank you jrkruse for your work.

I had a few questions.

Currently on Verizon s7 qa4.

I rooted my device .

I keep having an issue with the hurricane symbol that appears in the notification bar.

I have tried all the files that u had uploaded and have had no luck. I even extracted the file and manually brought the immservice.apk over.

I wanted to know if you could manually tell me how to remove this.

Is their value in the root of the device that can be changed to fix this? Or is a way to edit the apk file? What would I be looking for ?

Also I saw u uploaded the phone call recording from tmobile on here. Would I be able to copy that file to the root of my phone or what I have to something else like edit the build.prop?

Thanks in advance

I just wanted to say thanks for the work that you do!

I already set my CPU Governor to conservative through Kernel Auditor and it works amazingly!

Not sure if Xposed the reason why, but after updating to Nougat and running this root script and applying L Speed configs + other stuff I also did on Marshmallow, Nougat seems to be waaayyy more (pretty much completely) stable.

Found that I didn't really need Xposed as much as I thought I did but yeah

All in all I just wanted to say thanks and that Nougat for me is ridiculously stable, and if I didn't know better I would say even as stable as stock.

Thanks for everything!
