[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CVertigo1:
I have a really biased reason why the U-ROM is better than the V-ROM for the

S7 Flat

. The U-ROM was the only one I got working lol. The V-ROM kept bootlooping when I dirty flashed, and I had a ton of force closes when I clean flashed it. I could not get it to successfully boot and run smoothly, so I gave the U-ROM a shot and got it to successfully run smooth.

Another Flat user mentioned a way that he got the V-ROM to run successfully, but the U-ROM has been pretty flawless for me, so I have not tried to adapt the V-ROM again. The other Flat user used the Edge AP file when flashing the ROM, opposed to the Flat AP file that I was using. I was installing the Edge V-ROM over the Verizon Flat firmware. I'd like to add that this is the same approach I used to adapt all previous iterations of these ROMs, including the latest U-ROM. The last V-ROM I attempted with was the QC5 ROM, and I have not tried the QC9 ROM at this point.

I recall the QC5 update script being coded differently compared to the other ones, and I think that is the same reason why the AP file wasn't needed every time the ROM was flashed.

In closing, I can't accurately compare the two ROM's without using both ROM's.

If your not rooted you either still have engboot.img flashed or you didn't update your bootloaders BL file and modems CP file as per instructions in the OP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
At any given time the qd2 Rom is always using about 200 mb less memory than the qc9 Rom so it may appear more responsive however personally I think battery life is better on qc9. It comes down to personal preferences. That's what it is all about having some choices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] k4piii:
Getting back to thoriginal e verizon firmware then, nobody whatches my last issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Sorry your issue seems isolated. The best thing would probably be to go back to stock qc9 see if you still have problem. It could be a hardware issue. Let us know
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] k4piii:
Thx for answering, I am already on stock QC9, with full wipe both on flashfire and qc9 I thought about hardware issue but it used to work perfect and also lte 4G is working fine. Also I wasn't able to find the difference between ufirm and this one, I am not in USA, so doesn't it worth it to change to ufirm? Should I try with original verizon or ufirm?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Your just going to have to try. If you decide you want try again these roms again I would start on Verizon qc9 firmware. Then maybe follow directions and install the qd2 firmware you may have more luck with it. Where your not Verizon it's hard for me to offer assistance as this whole Rom is geared towards Verizon service where the qd2 is more other carrier friendly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] starboys7:
well if you have a s7 flat qd2 is the best because its the only one that WORKS on flat s7 ;)

i tried this rom on my flat and it didnt go to well.

Thank you!!! Hoping my phone reboot loop is a good sign. That scared me at first but it's fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] DildoMaster:
Been running QC9 V1 for a while now with no issues. Great work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] tedkord:
Just found this thread. Awesome, I didn't realize VZW S7 Edge had a root method, or that we could modify stock with it then return to unroot. Great work!

If I backup with Smart Switch on stock, then use that backup on this hybrid rom, will that cause any issues?

Does this trip any Knox counters/fuses?

Also, does this have the White pages caller ID? I hate that Verizon removed that. If not, can I put it in myself? How?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] amorrn:
Yes, the caller ID (now provided by Hiya) is integrated on the dialer. Just make sure you stick with the stock dialer as Google dialer does not have this implemented. Just need to make sure "Identify spam numbers" is toggled in the settings.

As for Knox, this method doesn't trip anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jsminnis:
[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] have you tried the qf2 update for verizon yet? Looking forward to it being implemented into your rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
When firmware is released I will update it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] tedkord:
OK, first try. It's been YEARS since I've rooted/flashed a custom ROM. I think I followed the directions to the letter, but every time I reboot, I get constant SystemUI crashes. I can't even put my PIN in to start up. I've factory reset twice now, and done the initial setup, which works. But when I reboot, immediate, constant System UI crashes.

I'm going to start from the beginning, but in the meantime any ideas what I might have done wrong?

Thanks...

EDIT: OK, it's good now. I redid everything, but this time chose the stock UI. No idea what I did wrong, but it's fixed. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] strictlyphat:
Where have u seen info on qf2?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
I think he was talking about UFirm QE2. Which will do nothing for this thread. I may update the Ufirm Thread. If its just a security update its not worth the time

Secure boot cannot be used with the modified UI, only stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Morrisme:
First off, thank you for another great rom.

what is the best way to re-run Aroma?

I assume going back to root, then re-flashing your hybrid - rom?

Also, is it possible to load the Aroma with everything including root. Going through and removing, changing, adding, editing the phone/apps, and then removing root to achieve the full function?

(this seems simpler than flashing in and out of eng-boot and back every time I want to make a change to something).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] tedkord:
Pretty much everything is running great. The only issue I'm having is the contacts app crashes every time. I think I took all S8 apps. Any way I can replace the S8 contacts app with the stock S7 app without going through the whole process again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Clear the data on the contacts app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] tedkord:
Sorry, should have said - that's the first thing I did. Also wiped cache in recovery. No change.

Edit: tried clearing data again, still no love. The app will open, listing contacts, but if I try to open one, the phone freezes for 5 seconds, then I get an app restart prompt. If I click that, same freeze and then an app close prompt.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] ImYoungxD:
I'm having an issue with the pulldown notification bar.

The area with the clock is unresponsive when I pull down. I moved the clock around and it seems to be the clock only.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Bsober:
Running the modified .ui? I run the modified and center clock, can't pull down from the center. Just part of how it is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] gcodori:
Nothing will work on this phone until dm-verity is cracked...

I'd you could examine that we could make progress
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jsminnis:
Actually, there's a setting in nn control that you have to turn off. I think it's a stationary shortcut, I can't remember exactly bc I'm not running the modified ui but I can assure you it doesn't have to be this way. If you can find the setting and turn it off then you will be able to pull down the status bar from anywhere. It might be called clock shortcut or something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Bsober:
Go into Rom control, resents and status bar,click to hide clock
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jsminnis:
No, there is a clock shortcut setting that you have to disable. If you can't figure it out by tomorrow then I will load the custom ui and let you know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Bsober:
Yeah, you can uncheck launch app with clock and your good to go

@jrkruse

could you make debloated verizon compatible rom from china version of S7 Edge (g9350). It`s snapdragon phone too.

They have full set of languages, including russian.

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G9350/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Nope I tried that and it screwed my phone royally that first setup where it connects to chinese server and sim locks your phone is a nice added bonus.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] sincer:
Question, in my gallery I had the option to look at my pictures in album mode. Now It just displays them all at once, even after updating to the newest gallery apk, thinking that would solve the issue.

Can anyone help with this ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Ronaldo.L:
Probably a dumb question but do I root prior to performing the installation of this ROM or is root achieved in the process of doing so? Dumb I know, I was just alittle thrown off by the instructions. I'm usually more used to rooting on a Nexus, my Galaxy has proven to be a alittle more troublesome for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] seandop:
If you're already on stock Nougat, flash the eng boot image in the AP slot, then follow the link in the OP to the root thread. Root the device, then continue the instructions in the OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] tedkord:
Root first. Just follow the directions in the first post in exact order. It's a little involved, but works like a charm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] seandop:
Any chance that you could add the Samsung email apk back to this release? The Playstore is giving me that nonsense message about it not being compatible with my device.

reading back up on the older posts ...

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71388206&postcount=141

i trying to wrap me head around which actual section allows for system mods without messing up DMVerity,

you mention that only the TMO has this vulnerability ? but i cannot find any reference to what specific vulnerability that is !...

reason im asking as i too am trying to port it over, but im trying for the s7active ....

as the active is a AT&T exclusive, i cannot swop out and use the TMO firmware base, as there is none for the active only at&t .. so trying to find how/what/where the actual vulnerability is ..

what is actually modified in AP_Modified_QC9_Nougat_System_Firmware.tar.md5 ?? just that they are the modified boot.img from TMO ?

the talk of modems/NON-HLOS.bin in the BL/CP are not part of the vulnerability from what i can read , that talk was just so it worked better on that particular network etc yes ? ..

cheers for ANY help .. !
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Use this eng boot image Nougat_S7_Flat_EngBoot.tar.md5

You can use the CSC from Verizon Nougat firm ware you dont have to use this one CSC_VZW_ G930VVRU4API3_CL8875708_QB11198937_REV02_u ser_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 in CSS slot

After messing with it alot now I really dont think the build.prop matters

The modems you just extract the cp file then extract the Non_HLOS.bin file from the bootloaders file BLfile then copy the Non_HLOS.bin into the extracted CP folder select all contents inside and use 7zip and create a tar image
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Ok this is a pretty cool find. You can flash the eng boot.img root the Here is the process

5. In odin Flash Engineering Boot.img from the OP in AP slot

6. When phone reboots and computer reconnects to phone Open VERIZON_TMO_HYBRID_NOUGAT_ADB_INSTALL folder

7. Root Phone From My Root Thread. Do what you will

8. When ready to return back to stock reboot back to download mode

9. In odin CSC_VZW_G935VVZW4API3_CL8875708_QB11198937_REV02_u ser_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 in CSS slot (This can Also be the CSC file From The Verizon Nougat Firmware)

G935TUVU4BQB1_Boot_Recovery_Image.tar.md5 In AP slot

10. Phone will reboot to recovery and fail

11. In Recovery click Mount System

12. Wipe cache

13. Reboot phone

Phone will become official status again like before

If you simply reflash the Eng Boot.img you will be rooted again as long as you have not wiped data
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] JPSloan1:
Super helpful, thanks. So to be really clear, I should use the CSC file and the NON-HLOS.bin file from the latest VZW [Nougat] firmware? (G930VVRU4BQA2) ?

And copy that NON-HLOS.bin into the extracted CP from the TMO firmware (CP_G930TUVU4BQB1...) and re-compress it before flashing it in step 4?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
You need the CP and CSC and BL files from verizon nougat. You just need the BL file because you need it to extract NON Hlos bin and your extracting all contents from CP file and adding NON Hlos bin then you select all contents inside CP folder including NON Hlos bin you added and you create a new tar file. Dont just tar the CP folder that wont work you have to select all inside it and create a tar like that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] JPSloan1:
OK. So then in step 4 I'll be flashing the CP from VZW, not TMO?

That is I'll be flashing:

BL from TMO (BL_G930TUVU4BQB1_CL10376601_QB12449118_REV02_user_ low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5)

AP from TMO (AP_G930TUVU4BQB1_CL10376601_QB12449118_REV02_user_ low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5)

A new CP tar that I create using:

The NON-HLOS extracted from VZW Nougat (from BL_G930VVRU4BQA2_CL10280325_QB12417265_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5)

All the other contents of the CP from VZW Nougat (from CP_G930VVRU4BQA2_CL10280325_QB12417265_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5)

Then later in step 9 I flash the CSC from VZW Nougat. (CSC_VZW_G930VVZW4BQA2_CL10280325_QB12417265_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] thekojac:
So we can basically root, do whatever we want (like use Titanium Backup, update hosts file with AdAway, etc.), then unroot at will using this method?

I can only assume any changes made to system would not persist, though? Any risk in not booting if we mess around with stuff too much then unroot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] chuckboy1129:
I did everything exactly the way Jrkruse did for the S7 edge. But I swapped it all out for the S7 flat files.

The only thing I had to learn on the fly was making the recovery boot tar image. Once I figured that out I flashed everything else
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] JPSloan1:
I think that's more-or-less what I'm doing, just updating the modem at the same time, right, which is why the repackaging of the CP file?

Is the recovery boot this file: G935TUVU4BQB1_Boot_Recovery_Image.tar ? I just realized I don't have that... how would I create one for S7 flat? I see it has a boot.img and recovery.img file but not sure where to get those. Seems they are in the AP file but which do I use? (TMO or VZW?)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] chuckboy1129:
Yes that's the one for the edge. You have to extract those files from the G930T and repackage them back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
You have to extract them from tmobile AP file the make a tar from just the boot and recovery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Did it work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] chuckboy1129:
Yes it worked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Yes thats correct. Your changes will stick as long as the mods you make dont require root to run

Can i flash this on my tmo phone?,using the files in op?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] topaz330:
I'm guess I might have royally screwed up my phone... I got the error about ext4 where I had to install the pit file. Well I never restarted and tried to flash it with the system files and it got stuck. So I unplug it and now all I get is a flashing circle that says installing system update. I just flashes over and over. I was able to get into the bootloader and install everything sucessfully but when I reset it, all it does is flash the circles again. Any idea how to fix this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
You can try. Just dont use the adb zips in this thread or you'll turn your phone into Verizon

If you can get to download mode just start over with factory firmware
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Hobson318:
i know this is an edge thread but i have an s7 flat. and you seem to be the authority on this. i just want to put stock tmobile firmware on my phone and use on verizon. no mods no nothing else. just stock. i just want to get back what verizon removed. so if i just flash the tmobile firmware and use the verizon csc i should be all set yes?

[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION]

Thanks for all the work you put it on this. working excellent..

my notes on the process

4. Go through setup don't add any accounts your going to wipe again when finished reboot back to bootloader

i couldn't really "go through" setup as it wouldn't allow me to proceed without adding info or an account since i had just came from a "wipe" in the previous setup.. i just rebooted back to recovery and was fine.

14. During Boot Phone will Say Custom Status this will change after phone is setup and a reboot is performed

mine did not show custom during this setup. (no big deal just wanted to put it out there)

at this point everything seems to be golden.

did the root procedure

all was well

flashed the wrong v3 fix, got tons of IMS fC's (oops)

flashed the right TMO file.. golden

tried to "unroot" by re-flashing

flash worked but still gave me the custom status rebooted again. no custom. so all is good.

basically at the end of the day everything worked out, but my experience differed slightly.

I came from OG to stangs v2 rom to your TMO N rom.

didn't have to do anything with the PIT files or anything

question - i'm interested in trying the playstore rom, does it allow video calling from the google dialer or is that a sammy feature?

edit: bluetooth doesn't seem to turn on.

suggestions?

edit 2: re-doing all of it.. after step 4 i added an account and checked BT was able to be turned on at this point.. updates to come

edit 3 : tracked it down to flashing

when i flash VZW_VOLTE_WIFI_CALLING_VVM_FIX_FOR_TMO_ROM_V3.zip

i lose bluetooth control (no longer turns on or off)

edit 4:

re did these steps

6. When phone reboots and computer reconnects to phone Open VERIZON_TMO_HYBRID_NOUGAT_ADB_INSTALL folder

7. Click Verizon_TMO_Istall.bat

8. When done click press to continue the phone will reboot back to download mode

9. In odin CSC_VZW_G935VVZW4API3_CL8875708_QB11198937_REV02_u ser_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 in CSS slot

G935TUVU4BQB1_Boot_Recovery_Image.tar.md5 In AP slot

10. Phone will reboot to recovery and fail

11. In Recovery click Mount System

then wiped cache and rebooted..

BT seems to be back and all seems to be well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] topaz330:
Awesome, that fixed it and I'm all set now. BTW under advanced calling features HD calling is active but it won't allow me to activate video calls. It says "your video calling service on your account was turned off..." Common sense tells me that it was taken off my plan for some reason but I can't seem to find how to add it back on via my online account. This couldn't be a rom thing right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
apk mirror is your friend
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] tedkord:
OK, two issues I see. I redid the entire install, this time using none of the S8 apps. The contacts app still constantly crashes when I try to open details on a contact. Also, the gallery app crashes every time I open it. I did clear cache/data on each, and cleared Dalvik cache from recovery.

Going to try and obtain the apk's and install them over top, see if that fixes it.

Thanks.

EDIT: Got the apk's from apk mirror, installed, and no difference. The Gallery app did open for a second, froze then crashed. Subsequent opening crashed before it even opened. Contacts wouldn't install, just failed each time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jsminnis:
Have you tried installing the rom from scratch including doing a complete data wipe? It sounds like this could be very hard to track down, as I have never had either of these problems and I have been running jrkruses roms for months and I have done many flashes and re-flashes. I think a fresh start is your best bet. Samsung Cloud Backup is your friend and I love that it was added to this rom as it is not included in the stock verizon firmware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] seandop:
Ok, I'll do it that way. Just thought I'd ask, since it used to be included and I'm not sure why it got removed (manual debloat still lists it as an option to remove, even though it's already gone)...
