Forgive me, I didn't realize you updated your OP directions yet again. The new directions are really clear. Honestly, I'd nix the flashing BL with FlashFire. In my instructions, I did the firmware updates with Odin in the very beginning, then flashed only AP with FlashFire, then the ROM. FlashFire is amazing, but anytime bootloaders are being flashed scares me, so I leave it to Odin lol. I accidentally downgraded a bootloader on an S4 one time by mixing up a single digit. Needless to say that S4 is a hard brick paper weight on my desk. I've learned a lot since then, but there are a ton of noobs that will read the first few lines of a writeup then blindly flash. Remember the S5 days with the warning "These zips include bootloaders, do no flash if you are on firmware XXX?" Then we had to remove the zips because people couldn't follow the simple directions and hard bricked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] studiorat:
Only 45 a month for each line And device charges on top of that per line making it almost 100 per line if you add fees and insurance...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] KjK89:
Doesn't add up like that on my plan. We have 4 on our plan and it works out to about $200 a month after taxes and fees. So basically $50 a person. We have never used insurance plans... so maybe thats the difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] studiorat:
We did it also but our devices are on the edge so its 45 for the access fee and 33 on top for the devices plus my insurance is 11 so your talking 89 per line before tax and fees we are at 408 for 4 lines ....so we went back to the 25 GB plan and saved 200 a month

Quick question, do you know where I can find the samsung weather widget apk?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
You right good point the Flashing Bootloaders with Flashfire is getting removed from directions. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] johntheman_692003:
im on v7 and used directions in op. no problem. running smooth and fast. instructions are crystal clear. my 5 year old could probably flash this with the op instructions
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
I can only confirm that wiping. Setting everything up fresh why phone is official and passing safetynet then reroot make a FlashFire data backup. Then I can confirm that the flashfire backup can be restored during a later process and things will pass safetynet as long as you follow my steps. Other than that its up to you guys to figure it out. I think you would be alright flashing the AP file and the zip in flashfire and not wiping data and still pass safetynet but I dont know for sure

Is there anyway to flash JUST the stock kernel without flashing the whole ROM and packages?

Sent from my S7 Edge Pixel XL!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] KjK89:
I did not restore any backups/data, just a clean install following the instructions in the OP. However, I think I started setting up the phone on the first boot (when it shows custom) before doing a restart. Could that be the culprit though? I have since restarted plenty of times, but still no success with Venmo.

I might try flashing the AP and zip like you said... or may ride it out for a while and try again when there's a new version with more to gain if I need to do a full wipe and start over. Thanks for the help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Bsober:
Look on apk mirror. Also in themefoxx.com they have the s8 one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Download the safetynet check app see what it says
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] KjK89:
Good call! I just ran it and it says it passed! So I guess this isn't a SafetyNet issues... Not sure what is up, but it seems to fail when trying to contact Venmo to confirm my device. I've raised the issue with them and will post back here if it is something that needs resolved on their end. It was working before jumping from the U firmware to this ROM tho.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CVertigo1:
It seems like the easiest method. If users can screw up the simple steps, then the chances of screwing up while flashing bootloaders is real.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] gcodori:
Samsung gear user...can anyone confirm that the gear watch works now? I saw a post staying that the services were removed in the de-bloated process.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
maybe they blacklist your phone or something if it doesnt pass once
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Now you have option to manually choose what to debloat
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] KjK89:
I'm setting this up right now actually. I chose the No BS selection (removes 120 apps) when installing. I have been able to setup and connect my Gear S3 Frontier, but it asked me to install Samsung Push Services which doesn't seem to want to work. I attempted to Setup Samsung Pay on the watch as well and it says that Samsung Push Services is required, but when i install it from the Play store it force closes.... any advice [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION]? Should I not have chosen the no BS version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
You need to manually choose what you want to debloat or choose the slight debloat option
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
I tried it and it doesnt work Im not sure what the problem is can anyone confirm if this worked on previous firmware QB1 or the ADB install method?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] conrad21233:
I just noticed on the new version 7, that you lose data completely when on a phone call. Volte is active in the settings as well....thoughts??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] johntheman_692003:
I went with lightly deblote. had to go on internet to download galaxy app.apk and install but other wise everything is working
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Bsober:
Works fine for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] gcodori:
Curious to know what was debloated when you installed. I'd like to be able to remove most of the bloat, but keep some of the sammy functions.

I have put off installing this until I can confirm that the gear will work while getting rid of most of the bloat.

Did you install any of the pixel stuff or did you stay with the stock apps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] KjK89:
Ok, think its possible to add the right apps back to get Samsung Push to start working? Maybe the Galaxy App? Or maybe I can follow the second set of instructions on OP to switch between debloat versions without clearing data?

Interesting. First method I tried was v5. It did not work on that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] musiclover7:
Hey All,

A few questions if you all have a little time. I've been a big fan of jkruse 's Roms since back on the S5. I have not done much of anything since I went to the S7 edge. I am pleased to see that he is also creating content for this fine device.

I am running Nougat stock on my S7 Edge. How does this compare?

I am not rooted.. Is there anything I can do to backup my app data - messages... etc prior to loading this ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] radelon:
V7 works amazing..... Installed without a hitch! Well worth upgrading from V5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] DildoMaster:
You can follow the Root guide in the first few steps of the OP and then either do the Data backup and Restore method through Flashfire or install Titanium Backup while rooted and backup through that. Only thing is you'll have to root again after the ROM install to restore with Titanium Backup, then un-root via Jrkruse's "Return to Status Official" zip you can find on his download page here.

If you go with the first option (better due to the slight hiccups that come with rooting/un-rooting), just make a data backup first obviously and then restore that data backup like it says in his instructions in the OP.

I'm on marshmallow trying to flash this again. Still bootlooping after flashing the 4 zip files. It says failed, sends me to recovery I go back to bootloader and flash CSC again and still nothing...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] shr000m:
Just an observation for people having issues.... i have the best luck when i flash the multi cert tmobile rom that was originally in the thread... rooting then going to step 4 and following directions from there... on verizon... im sure any rooted rom works as well just seems quick and easy to use the multi-cert tmobile rom as a starting point then jump to step 4.... v7 working great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] amorrn:
Is Device Maintenance removed in the latest tmo firmware or did I just accidentally debloat it off of my device? I updated to the latest ROM with manual debloat option. It's not showing up in the settings and my shortcuts on my Nova launcher backup don't work ("App not installed").
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CVertigo1:
I'm on V5. I installed and signed up for Venmo. It logs in and seems to work. However, I'm not familiar with the app and have no intentions of using it to send money anywhere, so I can't be certain that all features work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] shabbat:
Did you use flashfire?it is recommended in the OP to be rooted first then using flashfire to flash this wonderful rom. I'm using it and it's working fine and very smooth. My phone was on marshmallow but before i flashed this i first flashed nougat then root by the method indicated in the OP then ...all go well. Thanks a lot to [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION].

---------- Post added at 03:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

No, it isn't, I think you accidentally debloated it off. Try again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] musiclover7:
Please help!

I went to install this last night. I started the process, then realized I did not have everything I needed downloaded. I had downloaded the rooted version and I was looking for the one that would work with Samsung Pay.

Anyways, I had already installed bootloader via Odin, as well as root and flashfire. Now just need to get the ROM and ZIP over to the device on SD card and should be good to install, but...

At this point my performance is terrible. It won't move my files over to sd card via normal means, so I opt to try to remove the sd card from the slot and somehow now in the midst of that, the tray gets jammed in there with a paper clip broken off inside... :(

So, I am half way through the procedure, but still on stock Nougat firmware.. Things are not running smooth. At this point, I am up for either backing out or pushing on through, and then taking my phone into the shop to have the sd card tray fixed (if it can be fixed) asap..

Any advice appreciated. How would I go back to fully stock, or how can I push on through with the install, sans an sd card? (can I install via odin?)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
You may need to flash stock nougat using pit file. Then root stock nougat
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Download stock firmware and flash in odin

If you used package disabler it's called Samsung SM for Smart Manager
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
I think it worked on V5 It seems like I tried also, but know it doesn't work. I even tried flashing QC1 with adb like V5 and still no go
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CVertigo1:
You can install from the internal storage as well if you don't have an SD card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] amorrn:
Good to know. I only used the debloat manually option in Aroma, I must have selected it by accident. Luckily it's on apkmirror and works just fine as a user app, only caveat is it doesn't show up in settings or launcher unless you manually make a shortcut.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] musiclover7:
I managed to get the files over onto the SD card, so my plan is to push on through.

Question though.

These steps would seem to contradict prior statement that we should not flash bootloader via flashfire:

(6. Go into FlashFire settings and click option to allow flashing Bootloaders.

7. Now open Trust system as original and set to never

8. Click Add Firmware and choose AP_G935TUVS4BQC1_CL10376601_QB12919913_REV02_user_ low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5

9. In Dialog box select all partitions to flash.)

Later in step 11 it seems that step has been removed as the bootloader would have already been flashed in a step back during preparation phase via Odin.. Why then do we enable flashing of bootloader in flashfire as listed above in step 6? Forgive my ignorance, but if I choose to flash all partitions, does that include bootloader?

Also this step: 12. Click Add Zip and choose VZW_TMO_HYBRID_PLAYSTORE_BS_FREE_QC1_V7.zip

When I browse to the location where that zip file is on my sd card, it is not recognized. Other zip files are recognized just fine.

Just a quick sanity check before I push ahead. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] radelon:
Check my revised version of the Instructions above (Post #504).... also, copy all the files needed to your phone, not your sd card. As long as you are already on Nougat then it won't format your internal, therefore the files won't get deleted.

Try that way first, if zip still isn't recognized, then redownload, maybe it's corrupted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] amorrn:
Just in case anyone else is curious about enabling this, the adb command works fine without root. Neat find, thanks for sharing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] studiorat:
I asked in another thread accidentally thinking it was this .....I installed your BS free set up non root ....however the people edge and tasks edge are not included but.....The rest of the edge panels are , Is tbere apk's of these for nougat floating around......I searched and can only find MM version and when I installed that it force closes .....so its not compatible, any chance [MENTION=1168000]jkru[/MENTION]se can post these I use them both primarily ....Thanks all

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] musiclover7:
Ok.. I am up and running. Things working decently.. but my phone times out ever 30 seconds or so and I get this alert - "Samsung push service keeps stopping."

I am hoping that is easy to disable or prevent.

Ues manual debloat option or slightly debloated option
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] radelon:
I had that problem too when I did the play store version so I switched to the light debloat and no problems since.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CVertigo1:
You wiped everything when you flashed the ROM, right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] amorrn:
Go to settings > applications and see if you can uninstall or disable it. I had the same issue when i installed the play store version a while back, my thinking is it must have been restored with the rest of my apps when I went through setup. If that doesn't work, try a package disabler.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
The Venmo problem is when ad blocking host are installed. If stock no ad blocking is installed venmo works fine I guess you would need to get it setup with stock host then get ad blocking applied. I will make an ADB method so you dont have to reroot

Anybody else having issues with printing? I have the Google Cloud Print plugin installed and enabled under "Printing" in the settings. However, when I try to print from an app (tried from Firefox and Drive PDF Viewer) nothing pops up for me to select a printer. I'm thinking it must be something that was removed during the manual debloating in Aroma but there's no obvious apk I can find to install to restore the functionality. Any ideas?

----

From checking out the stock firmware tar, it looks like the system app that controls this is SPrintSpooler7 which indeed is not on my device. Hopefully I can adb push it to system once jrkruse releases the method.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
To prepare your phone yes.

To flash rom you still have to follow those directions which will require flashing AP file

For me, It was to get the benefits of a clean ROM with advanced calling working but still have the ability to use AdAway and TB. It's only been a few hours so I'll have to see if the some of the battery life comes back at things settle in. The process was really easy coming from your other thread's rooted process (Followed instructions, restored data in FlashFire, checked keep SU in aroma (can't remember exact wording), ODIN eng kernel. Ran root_with_tweaks.bat). I've found that your tweaks, Greenify and kernel Adiutor (which I don't think is needed anymore with tweaks) get rid of most of the performance hit and battery life improves over time. Not equal to stock kernel but close enough for me. If there was ever a way to run AdAway on stock, I'd forget about root and be happy with disabling...
