I ended up going back to stock in order to try the process from scratch. I did run root.bat twice and it didn't work. I did a factory reset, wipe cache and did the process again 3 times with the same result. I did not try the unroot.bat. I didn't see that option.

Thanks for the reply. Keep up the good work!

How long until we can get TWRP on this thing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] :
The chances of us getting TWRP are next to none. Noneone has even managed to bypass the bootloader unlock, and we'll most likely need a fully custom recovery to get anything similar to TWRP on our devices. Don't expect TWRP anytime soon (phone's been out for over a year, no bootloader unlock yet).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
Have you tried updating your policy in Lock Screen & Security/Other Security Settings/Security Policy updates before flashing eng boot?

Don't give up because ive tried numerous times and I know it works. Did you try this method without package disabler pro? If so try it. Unroot.bat is in the zip when extracted. You can always try flashing the eng boot AGAIN *in AP in ODIN* and fixing/adding APN.

Doesn't look like TWRP will be accessible anytime soon being the reason that our bootloaders are locked and have been since phone came out. Only people that will figure this out or change this factor are developers because it involves vast knowledge.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] bencostello:
I honestly tried it all. Are you saying try this method without package disabler pro?

When is the Note 8 coming out for the love of GOD!. I know someone will out TWRP on that.

Thanks for the tip!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
Yes I have done it without PDP and my number and services still worked.

If it isnt working it is something on your end. Are you on Sprint or a sister network?

Np buddy ty!

Good luck waiting because Samsungs getting smarter in their Security. Oh and getting 3rd degree burns :laugh:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] bencostello:
And honestly I never even saw the unroot.bat. DUH. should have seen and tried that earlier.

One tip for you on your first post. I was confused by the fact that I should run root.bat after my device was booted up. It might have been a simple problem on my part but in all my years of rooting I usually do it in download mode, or sideload or upload files to recovery mode.

I figured it out but took a few tries.

Also, whenever I flash a recovery or root from Odin I usually boot into recovery mode and wipe data and cache before I boot into Android, which in this case will obviously reset everything and cause it to fail. Just my to-cents. But I really appreciate all the work that went into this!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
This is why its mentioned to run when Drive is listed in PC.

None of what you said is possible because you have experience in unlocked bootloaders.

I understand your confusion but there is nothing i can do about it.

I've stated everything that you've said in the thread buddy ..re-read.. I think you skimmed through it too fast :P

I thank you for your admiration it took me a while in the beginning.

I am going to revise and make the orange links bigger.. switch some stuff around and add my mods+tweaks i use to have.. Thank you :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] bencostello:
Yeah my fault. I am just so used to doing it through Odin and custom recovery. This was a new experience for me.

I just got done adding my sd card as internal storage because those a-holes at Samsung disabled the feature. Had to work through command line in adb and it was a pain. I also don't think that the method I used is as powerful as the built-in Android feature.

I might have to switch to Pixel. What a pain!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
You're abosultely right & being our bootloaders are unlocked, SO MANY things are inaccesible and forever will be irratating.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] bencostello:
Ha!

Did you hear that Samsung is reusing parts of the Note 7 for release in Asia?

Disaster waiting to happen!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
Well first I wouldn't buy a damn tablet for a phone... people need to put it in their pockets haha! Second the only way I'd ever waste $1000(last price i saw and that wasn't even USD) for the phone was if I was expecting to sue Samsung. I am sure their development team has implemented Li-ion batteries capable of sustaining their power...or we shall hope :o But yea PM your hangouts address and we can talk on there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
Updated with MODS & TWEAKS like i use to but with newer methods...still updating and not finished so if there are any errors let me know.

Tweaks and Mods guide

Hi, thank you so much for making the Tweaks and Mods available again. I don't know how to open the thread for bhb27 Kernel Audiotor it downloads as an .apk file could you please tell me what I can use to open it I believe in the past it was a zip file on Google drive. Anyway thanks again for your awesome work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
You're welcome.. kinda waiting for a reply you know? It is an apk.. i put a zip to flash but its not made for this device so i removed it. Ill update with kernel settings that I would use. I'll PM you when I've edited the post. Thanks for your sincerity.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] :
It works. My guide on the S7 is very similar to yours, and I'm on the latest update for the flat variant so you should be good to go.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
Thanks for being accountable, I can always count on you.

I will update the thread...is your method based off of mine, just curious..

I wonder why Samsung is pushing these updates frequently. Makes me think they're going to drop a bombshell soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] slapman:
Hello has anybody experienced any type of lag while using Google Maps after rooting. Mine takes quite a bit of time to load up I use it for Uber. When I get the request and click navigate Google Maps is sluggish by the time it loads I'm quite a distance away from the passenger. I tried all the suggestions available and even installed the Google Maps Beta version. I really hope I don't have to unroot. Any help with this would surely be appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] :
I originally rooted based off the SM G930P ROOT guide by [MENTION=5840143]colormedroid[/MENTION] and that's what my root method was based off of. However, since our root methods are interchangeable (aside from the boot image), when you confirm it working on yours, I can update my thread to say it works on the S7. I don't, as I always test the newest firmware's root before updating it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
Ahh... okay. That was a great thread and the reason this thread is up too. I don't look in other device forums...I didn't even know you had a thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Avi8ion:
hey god, any news on the hybrid rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] doubledragon5:
This looks promising. So the QG1 is the newer firmware. Should I do a OTA? I'm back to stock but will be trying this next.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Eddieray313:
It is the newest firmware. And I'm about to take the dive and root again. I did the last one and determined it didn't function too well for me I'm hoping this one will be better. Have you rooted it yet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] doubledragon5:
I did, but went back to stock.. The last one gave me all kinds of headache. I had no internet at all the next day, only when at home.. I drive to OK and back 5 days a week.. Plus instead of one dropped call a day, I was getting like 12..Plus the lag was killing.. Next week when I'm off (WED) I will try this starting on Tue evening..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Eddieray313:
I use my phone for work so if I have issues with it such as lag and no internet then that would be a deal breaker for me too
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] doubledragon5:
If this does not pan out.. I'm shutting it off, turning on my old S3 for the time being, and selling the S7 Edge... I'm not to sure if in the future I will buy another Samsung, since they are locking them down... I would rather buy a used phone and be able to root, then spend my hard earned money on a phone I paid for, and can not to squat with..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Eddieray313:
I have an old note 5 I can root but the battery is too messed up and the like doesn't work for the phone but I do feel the same way. Locking down the bootloader is stupid and in my mind ruined the experience with it.

Fingerprint Sensor Not Working

hi i just recently rooted my s7 edge using this method and so far i am rooted and everything is working great but ive noticed i am not able to choose the option to lock my phone using my fingerprint. i rooted my s7 edge with the method before this one which used the QF3 stock firmware and i was able to unlock my phone with the fingerprint sensor. i followed all the instructions with the new method. reflashed the QF3 firmware, updated, etc. When i try to setup fingerprint lock i get the error message 'An error has occured with the fingerprint sensor. If this message appears repeatedly, restart your device.' any fix for this problem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] :
Use the root.bat with the fingerprint fix built into it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] doubledragon5:
I thought about getting a N5. He'll I might just great a N3. At least you can talk and be on the net at the same time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] OGSlayah:
i did it seems as though i forgot to make sure my pc recognized my phone when starting the second boot from the root.bat file lol so yay its working again :cool: thank you!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] doubledragon5:
Delete got it done.

Phone is Bricked.. Went to change one of the buildprops it gave me a error, phone powered off and won't turn back on. Can't even get into recovery or download mode.. Time to go to Sprint. LOL I haven't bricked a phone since my S3 days.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
This is irrelevant to thread but thanks for asking. I'll PM you my hangouts for more info regarding UFirm.

I dont want to come off rude so my answer for you would be:

I have acquired the concept and blueprint of creating another zip and everything is almost worked out. I am at a standstill however because I can't seem to get odin to flash my system (AP) without crashing ODIN and replicating stock firmware. I am telling this because ODIN won't allow modifications to stock devices; it is a Samsung program. The AP Modified.tar.md5 is flashed in FlashFire(Better in ODIN) to mimic being stock but having edited files. This is why you can run stock but have made implications to the device, being a 'custom rom'. Rooting completely nulls the point of the rom but can be done nevertheless. [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] is a busy man and he can't complete the process without a fresh Sprint stock system.; Someone with stock files from sprint that can pull the system.Every playstore app has to be updated for every app like if we had just installed the newest firmware for SM-G935U/P combined. It is not easy but if I can do it with no knowledge and learn up to this point...then any user on here should be able if willing.

All in all it was completed a while back but I removed because every update pushed out by SafetyNet (google's sec feature/verification), the ZIP may not work completely/for that app. Last thing, It is not forgotten and it's a waiting game for everyone. I have all the tools/kitchens to pull system and pack it..but creating a .tar.md5 for ODIN is the only thing stopping me personally. It's hard to ask anyone because jrkruse is the creator and a lot of misleading info on this forum for packing and out of this forum are misleading. I try here and there, get frustrated and clean up then start over with a different mindstate/hypothesis. There is a lot of thinking because I can't call it my ROM because I don't code but it's the first time I've ever done this type of work.

P.S - There will be a version released shortly. Shortly could mean weeks but I don't want to say longer than 2 weeks. I hope not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] doubledragon5:
Not bricked after all. Sprint got it to boot in download...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
I saw your previous post. Do u need help?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] doubledragon5:
No I got it back up and running.. What happened was I was changing the build.prop.. Went to save and got a error.. The editor I was using deleted the build.prop.. When I went back to EFS it was not there.. Rebooted and that is when crap happened.. Sprint said it was just hanging.. I got it back to stock and re-rooted and build prop tweaks.. Thanks, this has been a pain with this phone.. Never had issue with previous phones.LOL Now to test to see if my calls, messaging and internet work.. Thanks for all the hard work.. If I run into more issues, I will post. Thanks again.

Ok only thing I'm not familiar with is the init.d GovTuner Active: Error not working, I believe refers to the init.d thanks.. I'm going to read the govtuner thread btw..

---------- Post added at 11:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 PM ----------

Package Disabler, do you guys prefer to uninstall bloat or disable.. I also have Titanium Back up and root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
These apps sometimes takes the init.d error away

:

Universal Init.d

Try to keep this in mind when thinking of root...Always have -> Busybox <- and init.d tweaks because they help out so much & needed.

SuperSU/root applied, always have Busybox and can be outdated so download app(prefer pro) and install to /system/sbin, /system/xbin, and /system/bin(takes the longest be patient).

^Install,Reboot, and wait 3 minutes then open your terminal app and type su,govtuner.

This init.d is irrelevant and even says that the error doesn't matter because as long as Govtuner is active that means there is init.d strings applied to system; Govtuner won't work without init.d. You can also have better outcome if you type sud after govtuner+selected profile(reading active). When typing sud it transfers file from init.d folder (default) to SuperSU's folder /system/su.d. However this will not work unless you've made /system/, /system/su.d read/write (R/W) accessible. Or you can copy manually.

I prefer disabling system apps and uninstalling apps. The reason i dont use Titanium Backup is because it is too accurate and I end up soft bricking my device because i uninstall system apps that cant be uninstalled so to speak. Though i do uninstall stuff like gmail or anything like google/samsung related that I dont like.. But remember if you uninstall a system app(ALWAYS uninstall one at a time), reboot immediately.

I'm excited to here that your making a rom and I think the battery life this time might be a little worse or I did something wrong
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
You're telling me man
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Eddieray313:
Every thing is perfect on my side. The tweaks and mods polished it out. I'm still using greenify and it did help some but some how the battery is still ****ty. And I still have yet to figure it out and it's aggravating. Back to stock and rooting and tweaking but maybe a slight improvement here and there and back to being horrible again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] doubledragon5:
Thanks I use Titanium because I have used it for yrs, and only delete apps that I see in my app drawer, this way I don't uninstall a important system app... But I do appreciate all your help, and so far this phone has worked great, Last root I used internet was a huge issue even with the right apn's setup.. So I guess at least for now, this phone will be with me until I decide I'm bored, or just want another phone.. Next up is to purchase idoneapps like I did with my N4 and unlock..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] doubledragon5:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] doubledragon5:
I did, but my quesiton is what is the best busybox? I have the one with the add, and can't stand it.. I read busybox x is suppose to be the best, but $6.99 never seen a app cost that much.:D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
They all inject the same files and some may be on a different version but BusyBox for Android by JRUMMY. Pro really doesn't matter for most apps because all pro does is remove ads if that is the case. But usually 5$ and up its definatly not for ads. All the high end apps aren't necesarry and any free app will do.

PM'd you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
My case :cyclops: that I mentioned in previous post.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] doubledragon5:
Better to be protected, than having to replace a broken phone. LOl I can't tell you how many phones my daughter went trough, before it sunk in her head to have a case.. Now she hasn't broken her phone yet, and it is almost a yr old...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
LOL a little embarrassing huh.. This isn't my first device and I'm glad I broke it because they sent me the coral blue and I love it. I am naturally clumsy and picking this device was the worst decision I've probably ever made for an electronic.. I am not keeping this device. But this case will most likely break if dropped severely because it's made for the battery really not protection.. doesn't cover the screen..Though Mine came with a hard clear cover but that didn't take long to crack because it was plastic. You can't go wrong with a case like your daughter found out lol

Many thanks to all the people for providing this setup. I came across this post back in June and decided to give it a try. I haven't flashed any phone since back in 2010 on my HTC HD2 phone so this was a new experience for me. After following the guide back in June, Only problems I had was no data , wifi calling, and fingerprint sensor. I did edit the apn and did get data but still had the other two issues. I then went back to stock. I kept coming back to see any updates on this thread and decided I give it another try this past weekend. This time everything went smooth. :). Got data, wifi calling, and fingerprint sensor working. I got no lag. Memory stays on average at 1g. Battery life is about the same for me since i"m always on Entertainment Mode. I do some questions about some applications i got running / installed. Auto Memory Cleaner, and Greenify. Is it ok to have those running. Is having a Antivirus application needed? I had Norton installed but had to uninstall it cause it kept detection supersu as a malware and there was no option to ignore it. Right now I got the stock Lookout antivirus application.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
Its not always a matter of the OP putting in all the work. You have to experiment too.. that is the essence of rooting.. its all personal. People like greenify, however idk I don't use it. Im glad you got it working.. it gets easier and easier I think-on my end. I thank you.

I wouldn't use any anti-virus apps and instead open/edit/save/reboot the hosts file in /system/etc.

It blocks a lot of ads(you can physically see a slight lag) and malicious files. You won't get a virus unless installing something.

Choose between adaway host or open source. Overwrite the file in etc folder and reboot. You will notice.

Thanks again, enjoy. Let us know if you come across something.

Mobile data not working

hi so after rooting my device, everything was working great. i was able to use mobile data and i had no problems. few days later i noticed i wasnt able to use mobile data anymore. im still able to call and text but mobile data just doesnt work. i noticed that LTE doesnt show up in the status bar also. Please help as this is my second time having to reflash stock firmware and redoing the whole rooting process over again.
