Check to see if you accidentally disabled it if you use Package Disabler, I did the same thing to my phone app haha.

[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION], beautiful work sir, I was perfectly willing to run day-to-day without root, but I couldn't be happier now that's it available.

Did you delete it or were you running my playstore mod with and had phone app disabled Package disabler when you rooted

The only thing installed with adb is root. From there on You Use FlashFire and flash zips

Wow.. with previous methods i used to get reboots every 1min after flashing eng boot. But this time, latest guide went through just fine.

Used Version 1 with 2.82 SuperSu from OP on a Sprint S7E device with ATT U firmware. Then flashed indian CSC via Flashfire to get VoLTE on Reliance Jio Carrier in India.

Thank you so much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] StoicSage:
Still have the VoLTE Icon

I still seem to have the VoLTE icon even after flashing the zip using Flashfire. Everything else seems to be working so this icon isnt that big of an issue really.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] nimms:
I've rooted to modify CSC (flashing via flashfire) Now i won't be needing root. If i want to get S-Pay working.. what should i do?

Flashing Fresh via ODIN is not an option as i need root temporarily to modify CSC.

I saw the Unroot bat in the same zip but how to get Knox back for S-Pay?

I confirmed this is working on 930t running Nougat with replacing this file with this

1. Shut off the phone and boot into download mode (volume down, home, and power). Use Odin And Flash Nougat_S7_Edge_EngBoot.tar.md5 In AP Slot

Because in flashfire your not choosing to mount the system when it ask
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] pkpapn:
I'd like some clarification because I am an ignorant newbie. I have never rooted a device before so i am unfamiliar with "odin" and "flashing". The OP has pretty simple instructions yet I need more detail.

I simply want to root, make an app a "system app" , then unroot.

My phone is an sm-G935V (verizon s7 edge) and I'm on android 7.0 with the may 2017 security update. My build number has QC9 at the end of it. I assume I am in the right place?

Anyways, I see the file for "hotspot QC9 fix". I'd like to know when/how I am supposed to apply that in the process. Is Odin a program I use on my pc (windows 8.1)?

Is my phome connected to my pc throughout the process? Does this process wipe all my data/messages/photos?

Thank you for your time. Any help is appreciated. If only this was a video tutorial
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
You can't root then uroot on stock firmware. You would have to use one of my custom roms that are not rooted you can push files to system folders with adb without rooting
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] pkpapn:
Sigh. I must have done something wrong.

I followed this guide, successfully rooted. Used flashfire to flash the QC9 hotfix. Everything still working, not even much lag. I move the app I wanted into /system/app using Root Explorer. It worked.

Final step. I need to hide my root since I don't think I can unroot. So I've read several places that "Magisk Manager" can hide the root from the safetynet. I go to Play Store. Magisk has been taken down. I use Xda Labs to download Magisk. Magisk downloads and installs and reboots.

Now I'm stuck in boot loop. It tells me "Start up failed - Use the Verizon Software Repair Assistant to repair your device"

What now?

EDIT: Like a child, I am slowly learning through my mistakes. I went into download mode and flashed that EngBoot file through AP slot in Odin again and now my phone works. But how can I hide my root from SafetyNet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
You flash one of my QC9 rom. That's the only way
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] pkpapn:
Okay. I went ahead and flashed your QC9 rom that you posted here: https://xdaforums.com/verizon-s7-edge/development/rom-t3569416

My phone is working fine.

However, how do I move files so /system with ADB without root? Anytime i try to pull the file I want it says ADB has to run in root mode, and when I try to run it in root mode it says root mode cannot be run in production builds.

Any method that allows me to move a file to the system folder would be fine as long as my device still passes the SafetyNet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
If you have app installed as a user app make sure to uninstall and reboot phone before doing this

unzip View attachment Push_System_Apps_ADB.zip place your file you want to push to system in the appropriate folder in the push_system folder

Flash eng boot img in odin wait for computer to connect to phone

once connect run Push_System_Apps.bat when phone reboots to bootloader reflash AP_QC9_VZW_Boot_Recovery_Image.tar.md5 in odin
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] pkpapn:
That worked perfectly. Thank you. You're a legend.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Sparxx2k8:
I have successfully rooted my Verizon 'QC9' Edge. My only issue is the hotspot. I used the "fix" zip file for my hardware version but it (the hotspot) doesn't work. Prior to rooting, my tablet and laptop could both connect no problem. Now, they both say connected, but no internet. On the phone, they hotspot doesn't show either in the "connected devices" section, or any indication that any device is connected period. I followed the rooting directions correctly and flashed the appropriate zips. What I am I missing or what should I check for that could be wrong?

The fix

So I was like what if I flashed eng kernal, rooted, applied my mods, unrooted, then flashed JUST the stock BL, it would be great. And it worked. My system partition had all the mods. Performance was great too. Then it hit me. Flash the eng kernal, root, DON'T unroot, flash stock BL. IT FRICKEN WORKED. IDK WHY OR HOW. I STILL HAVE ROOT. NO LAG. every thing seems to be working. Feel free to investigate, cuz this worked for me. (BTW I found the stock software for verizon s7 flat and extracted the nougat BL so if any one has verizon they don't have to download the big file) try it for yourself! Idk the repercussions so DO AT YOUR OWN RISK.*really happy this WORKED for me.

Follow his fix guide instead of using the flat version of the bootloader flash the edge version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
So this is doing nothing except forcing a dalvik cache wipe which the root zip already does
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] seandop:
Yeah, this would still leave the eng boot installed, right? (Check your info under About Phone in Settings)

I'm guessing the lag will either return, or wasn't really gone to begin with. The lag with the eng boot is nowhere near as bad on Nougat as it was on Marshmallow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] kenshin6106:
Yes it's forcing a Dalvik cache wipe. Even tho the root zip does it I find doing it this way the manual does a better job. On my end I'm experiencing very little lag the might last 60 sec then it's gone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] NeoandGeo:
Very little lag...Might last 60 seconds. Is it 60 seconds when it returns, or something more manageable? :p

If any change is noticed, it's placebo since it's literally achieving the same overall outcome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] izzi_cruise:
affter root my batterai verry drain sir, how to fix it to back normally battery consumption.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] kenshin6106:
Are you on stock or custom rom?

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ----------

Everytime you lock the phone and unlock it the lag returns for 60 seconds then disappears that in itself is a little noysance. How ever compared to MM this is a drastic improvement your right.

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 PM ----------

After playing with cpu governor's if you set it interactive this rids the lag of your device overall. The 60 seconds lag it self was the issue. Every time you lock the phone and unlock it the lag returns for 60 seconds and then it's gone. So what I did I rebooted cleared my cache then rebooted again and the little lag issue is completely gone. You can know lock and unlock your phone with a completely lag free rooted phone. This is on latest U No name rom firmware 7.0.;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] NeoandGeo:
I have finally settled on JRKRuse's Hybrid QC9 with slight debloat option. I chose this over stock for a few reasons. To have native Wi-Fi hotspot and Call Recording in-call UI on Total Wireless. Debloat the most useless apps at a system level to prevent common issues with lag and battery drain that arise when debloating on stock firmware after install. Simple UI appearance customizations. And lastly adblocking capability all while still having official VZW status.

With such a locked down device and the inability to get around Google's heavy-handed SafetyNet protection, rooting is virtually useless with a locked bootloader and the inability to to actually take full control of the device and hide root status with something like Magisk.

Nothing to me, gained from actual rooting, is worth the small hit in performance and battery life on top of longer lag spikes. It is better than MM ENG-Kernel and using his official CPU tweaks can fix the long moments of lag, but using a rooted device and stock device you can immediately tell there are issues and everything is a bit more sluggish and UI/App performance is impacted while consuming the same or more battery to complete the same day to day tasks. This combined with the small bump in CPU/Battery temps in the summer is a bad idea.

My phone just keeps rebooting after flashing the hybrid qc9 rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
are you verizon?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Dbzfan:
Yep, flashed rom and everytime I do, it reboots after a minute.

Flash rom

Eng BL

Push file to system

Flash boot/recovery

The setup above

The whole time after first step it reboots after flashing and lose data

Tried it with stock csc, returns data but still reboots.

Even tried stock

Flash eng bl

Pushed system file

Works all fine no reboot but obviously safetynet is tripped

Try flashing stock boot and recovery

Reboot on Samsung (given because it's not custom and Samsung stock doesn't like non system files)

Regardless whenever I flash the rom it starts rebooting

Tried (all together or just one each flash of rom)

Wipe after

Csc flash after

After eng bl

Flash stock

I tried one of each and see if it working, no changes

I tried different combos, no changes

I tried flashing all together, no change

I don't want root just want a file in my system and past safety net.

I've unlocked boot loaders, flash eng black and rooting since Motorola Droid still no luck.

Just everyone I flash the rom itself non stop rebooting after about a minute.

I followed step by step, spent hours trying every different way I could.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
Man you need to be more specific. Are you trying this on stock rom or my Hybrid QC9 rom? You cant flash csc file if you have modified the system. Sounds like you need to start all over from fresh factory firmware. If this has nothing to do with root next time ask the question in the proper thread

Trying To Catch Up - Verizon S7 Edge With Qualcomm and Nougat

[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION], you are clearly The Man when it comes to rooting the newer Samsungs. All props to you, with great respect and gratitude. :highfive:

I apologize if I seem ignorant. I've rooted and ROMed a great many phones over the years, but I stopped keeping up with everything when I came to accept that newer Verizon Samsungs were unrootable. Now, it looks like you've saved us. I've been reading threads here and elsewhere for two days, but I'm finding the sheer quantity of info overwhelming. Also, much of it seems to already be obsolete.

I have the SM-G935V running Android 7.0 with Qualcomm processor. Which method, if any, would I use to root it (please be specific with a link or searchable name)? Will the one described on the first page of this thread work? Also, I've seen people post that Xposed Framework will not function on my phone, even if rooted; is that true? I've also seen contradictory statements claiming both that I can and cannot install a custom recovery, rooted or not; which is accurate?

Lastly, the posts I've read dating back several months say that the engineer image is the only way to root my phone, but it creates lag which some find unbearable. Is that still the case?

Again, I'm sorry if I sound like a n00b-in-the-woods. I've been doing my best to catch up w/o bothering people.

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Dbzfan:
I've stated I tried both ways with qc9 rom and stock just to try it.

Flashed everytime I flash hybrid automatically reboots after a minute, even factory reset.

If you look a page back it states flashed qc9 romance, not stock and reboots. Tired it with stock for the heck of it, it works fine until flashing stock boot/recovery. Which is understandable. But just the hybrid by itself just boot loops.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
S7 flat or edge? Also is this a rooting problem or rom problem. You know this is the rooting thread right. Go ask this question in my rom thread so we are not cluttering this thread then others can give advice as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] scottscottbobott:
Hey Guys, I'm new to the scene - forgive me for any thread "violations" as I'm doing my best. I'm not one to do threads of any sort, so that alone can be confusing to me.

I'll get straight to the point. I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 running stock Nougat 7.0, Snapdragon, Build NRD90M.G930VVRS4BQC9, May 1st Security Patch.

First off, am I in the right thread, if not - will one of you please direct me to the correct one!

I used to be into rooting but that stopped after my Google Moto X 1st Gen (when operating systems really started making changes and the process became much more difficult.)

1.) May I root this phone with the above mentioned current build number and patch, or do I need to make changes such as downgrading before I even start the root?

- Can somebody direct me to the correct page where it has the most up to date info to where the files needed are (either to downgrade or simply root, whatever is it that I need to do), and on how to do it? I know it's there somewhere but I'm having no luck finding it. It looks like ODIN hasn't changed much, and looks like the root process is almost the same, hopefully my thoughts are true and I shouldnt need much help on that, mainly a GOOD ROM.

2.) I plan on using a ROM that does not have glitches, and I've read that ambasadii has an incredibly reliable ROM, or is it still in the beginning of development...my MAIN reason for root is that my battery life is absolutely atrocious, as well as lag. Is there any reliable ROMs out there that will do the trick with minimal problems with daily usage? I can wait for something if there is too many problems, I don't have much time for bugs and problems rooting being a single full-time Dad - just how it is rn!

3.) Is there any reliable (no lag) stock ROM w/Xposed modules yet?

- Particularly for battery life, speed, ad-block, and hotspot if possible.

What are the ROMs that are available and is there a rather easy fix for lag, etc, as I've read there are some issues...

Thanks guys/gals. Any help is appreciated whether on here or on a PM. I've had great help & support here in the past and I'm glad that you guys are here to help out! These threads really confuse me and I've been running in circles trying to put it all together but I eventually just created an account b/c the confusion is overwhelming! :) Thank you in advance everybody, I know that this is a lot.

To put simply, I need something reliable that will allow me to do basically the same thing, but also block ads, and GET BETTER BATTERY life so that I don't need to suppress my phone's capabilities by keeping it on medium power saving mode all day.

Thanks!

Will A Google Play Store SuperSU Update Mess Up My Root?

If I use this, can I update SuperSU through the Google Play Store? I have a rooted SM-G935V with a flash package that has Super SU 2.79 and when my Play Store updates SuperSU (currently 2.82), I lose root. I'm assuming the signatures of the Play Store app and the flash package are different?

My Experience

Rooting went smoothly, as I read the entire thread first. I encourage you to do this before rooting.

Day 1 : No problems. Everything working and running smooth.

Day 2: Slight lag, not too bad.

Day 3 : Extreme lag. Start an app, wait 2 minutes. Adjusted governor settings. Some lag, but not too bad.

Day 4 : Unbearable lag, apps not starting, SIM card full messages, can't text, underwear too tight.

Day 4.5 : Attempting to restore phone back to original...
