I havent rooted since my S3... How is the viperaudio for those who are using it? I hate the horrible speaker with this phone so I was just wondering if it really makes a difference with volume mod.

[MENTION=7523343]godpowerrr[/MENTION] do you install BHB27 Kernel Auditor via flashfire? It's not installing when I try. Thanks!

Nevermind.. figured it out. lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Mast3rZero:
I used to have a rooted S3 and loved it. To answer your question yes you can use Viper and it's great. Makes a huge difference.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Euronymous88:
I have not figured this out. Is it installed through Flashfire? And if so...how?

Updated with Hotspot section linking to your thread. This is because i cant add any more text to the thread and I've done a lot of deleting. :)

Added init.d tweaks section as well

:

Download and move 73tweaks to system/etc/init.d/

Reboot.

Open BHB27 Kernel Adiutor app.

Go to Menu>Init.d.

Select 73tweaks, Execute.

At the moment, 0. Bootloader locked being the reason.

First of all, right now I'm on the G935U 7.0 SPR Variant since the performance is much more better than G935P's .

Root basically a no go on the U firmware since LTE and Fingerprint does not work when flashing the engineering bootloader.

But ENGBOOT gives you Read/Write Access via ADB which means you're able to modify the /system directory. So I moved the required files needed to get DSP+ (viper4android alternative) working via ADB shell.

My question was if i can revert back to the stock bootloader to keep the app on the device with LTE and Fingerprint working?

*BTW I tried to go back to stock boot.img by extracting it from the AP Odin File and converting it to a tar.md5 which led me to a bootloop.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
Well I wouldn't call it a no go. The 3g is displayed that way... but functions as LTE on my end. Responsiveness is realtime and I wish It was the same for P firmware. I'm flashing back to P for this threads sake. And the multiple malfunctions being on U Firmware. I was confused because your post wasn't related towards this thread nor my comprehension. I can't help with your questions but I believe [MENTION=4740234]izzibew26[/MENTION] can.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] TheOddTaco:
I didn't get no data and had "Samsung" on the top left screen instead of Sprint. The buildprop part is not compatible on the U firmware because It didn't have the ro.cdma and ro.build code.

[MENTION=7523343]godpowerrr[/MENTION] Just some fyi..

I did some messing around with that youtube app you have at the bottom. Looks like all of those steps aren't needed. I just downloaded the Youtube 3.1 app from here: http://ogmods.net/en/ogyoutube and installed it (deleting the real youtube app 1st) and it just worked. I'm not sure those other files are needed. I didn't install them and the app works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
Thank you. This is how i had to install it. Im rerooting atm and ill see if its different for me, which it probably will be. OGYoutube wouldn't open without the MGoogle apps being installed.

When the app got to running it said i need micrOG to open.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] izzibew26:
I'm not gonna clutter the thread with the back and forth to resolve your issue so if you need a hand PM me and ill see how i can help. I'm gettting ready to start working with the /u firmware so i might be in and out
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] radink:
It looks like the extra apps in the directions are old. They brought up the old black style google logins, and they fail to connect. Looks like installing the Youtube app, and then downloading the extra app when it asks, and installing makes it work. Thanks!

Question for whomever.

I did a clean install/root this morning. I accidentally did the check for system updates before I rooted. I didn't install it, but now I can't get rid of the notification on the settings icon. I was able to find and delete the ota files that were downloaded. Just can't kill the notification. Any ideas? You can't turn off notifications on the Settings app in settings.

Thanks!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Orion78:
So I finally took the leap to Root.. I did notice the camera to be extremely laggy when taking video, but the big issue for me is when the screen times out if Im using the keyboard. When I turn the display on again the keyboard is on my screen and the phone is frozen. Only way to get out of it is to reboot my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Mast3rZero:
The main camera is lagging or the snapchat camera ? From my experience the main camera is fine but laggys very bad on snapchat. Maybe make sure all the tweaks are allied correctly also like BHB and Speedswap.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Orion78:
Yeah the main camera when in video mode is extremely laggy. I dont have snapchat

They keyboard issue, seems to only happen with facebook messenger app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
Look for the “Picture Stabilization” option in camera settings and disable it.

If that doesnt work,

Power Off Phone

Boot into Safe Mode:

Power on, let Galaxy Logo pass.

At Samsung logo, Press & Hold Volume down button until in safe mode. If it doesn't appear on bottom left, try process over.

Check if Camera/Video is laggy. If it is then its a hardware issue which I'm sure its probably not.

I know this is common sense but if the lens is dirty it will look as if its lag.

Verify that keyboard issue doesn't occur in safe mode. If no lag for keyboard then its a 3rd-party app conflicting.

Settings > Application manager > menu top right > Show system apps > Find Samsung keyboard > Storage > CLEAR CACHE > CLEAR DATA

Wipe words or reset system settings back to default. Disable Samsung text-to-speech engine+Samsung Push in a disabler app.

Restart.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] walkman33:
Hello, firstly thank you for everyones work! ?

I followed op intructions once all the way through and had no problems and very little lag at first but kind of just got worse and worse, the lag that is. I wiped and redid everything a few times with dif gov tuner settings but wasnt mucu better. ( Happy to list all settings if youd like).

Tried again and did not run gov tune or anything else and ive had wayy better lag and battery. Just curious if anyone else had tried it this way.

Stock qc1

Diable packages, eng boot, root.bat, and that was pretty much it.

Also as a side note i did all this for the hotspot hack and i can cinfirm it works as is amazing. Thanks a ton.

Tried to keep it short but i can provide screenshots/vid and any info on the process and stuff.

Been great so far.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Mast3rZero:
Instead of the Govtuner try BHB27 and Speedswap.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] walkman33:
thanks ya i saw there were 2 options for tuners but im running fantastically as is without either.

I was wondering if anyone else had done the same. If this isnt helpful at all or in the wrong place im more than happy to cut it, no worries.

Just sharing my experience and if performance is good with out extra tuning i would think it would be a good thing, but im far from an expert. The stuff you guys do is incredible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Euronymous88:
L Speed and Speed Swap worked wonders for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] bradreeves94:

I can confirm that the above method works without going through the other files, that were included. All I did was use Titanium Backup to uninstall the original YouTube app, then a quick reboot.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
For SM-G935U the fingerprints will not be enabled probably until next update or a developer modifies the engineer boot most likely isn't going to happen. Look how long it took for new firmware.

If you're switching back to P firmware just wipe cache parition several times. Idk how this fingerprint for P firmware rumored about

QD2 question

So if I'm starting the root process on QD2 do I still follow the New method in the method 1&2.htm - When i opened the htm file the "New Method" says i need to flash the QC1 firmware? Sorry for the stupid question. Just wanna make sure. If I do follow the New Method and am starting on with QD2 firmware I still need to flash QC1 correct? This is the method that says updated on 4/14/17 in the htm file. thanks for any help!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
Do you have USB Debugging on in Developer Options? Turn verify apps via usb off.

Wipe cache partition several times in recovery mode, reboot to booatloader and load This firmware BL/AP/CP/CSC.

Once at home screen go to system updates and upgrade to QD2.

Then once Updated follow the root process.

In developer options certain hardware updates triggers lines like that so make sure in [D.O] that nothing like that is enabled.

Sounds like your hardware could be screwed too. But lets not jump to that conclusion yet.

Unless you want an outdated version and old firmware then use method 1&2. QD2 is the same method as QC1 i just updated thread. QAA is different but theyre all similiar.. i suggest QAA if u want old security policy and QD2 if you want current updates.

You can flash QC1 unless you can find a QD2 stock firmware download.

Once on QC1 if that was your way, update from settings/system updates and on reboot-then apply root process.

Hey guys, I rooted successfully using this guide w/ QC1, and it's working ok but is anyone experiencing an issue with rebooting the phone, it goes through a boot loop 3 times before it loads back up? Any way to fix it?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] JGillis2391:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
Back up your files. You should wipe cache partition a couple of times, factory wipe data in Recovery mode, reboot to bootloader and flash stock. Start process over and you wont have any problems.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
IF you're on factory QD2 SM-G935P:

First go to Settings>About Device>Build Number and tap 7 times.

GO back to Settings>Developer Options at the bottom. Make sure OEM Unlock and USB Debugging are enabled. You can plug in your device.

Settings>System Updates>Download updates automatically DISABLED. Click Download Updates manually twice til it says you are at most current firmware.

Update PRL. Wait for signal to refresh then:

Update Profile.

Settings>Lock screen and security>Unknown Sources enabled>Other Security settings>Security Policy Updates>Disable Auto Update. Click update now and most current update will be applied.

Have Package Disabler Pro from play store and disable:

In AP flash https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120713401 THE ENG BOOT.

Device will restart.

Immediately upon reaching home screen, run command prompt as administrator and redirect folder to S7_Root_Unroot_SU_2_79. "cd C:\folder"

Type root.bat followed by enter and let it install and reboot device.

Once at home screen again follow pictures from original post and install Busy Box for Android and follow those pictures as well.

Install Build Prop Editor and change the two strings you see circled in the pictures and save, save & exit.

Close all recent apps again.

Power Off.

Power On.

You are now rooted. If you have all files and method right in front of you... this should now be understandable.

BTW, the method goes in order from top to bottom. Clicking the hide content shows the installation guide.

The mods+tweaks is not necessary. Hope you understand its fairly easy.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] bepri:
So today (assuming from all the reviews on the Play Store's time stamps), Package Disabler Pro put out a new update that moved one functionality of the app to another (PD Engine Plugin, sorry I can't link but this is the first post I've made from this account), hiked up the price on PDP from $0.99 to $1.49, and then slapped a $0.49 price tag on PD Engine Plugin.

I wouldn't be so worried about this because someone out there would throw the APK out there, but half the reviews claim that the app doesn't even work now with this new update, and I'm pretty concerned about it, as all methods I've found so far to root the S7 Edge claim that you have to have PDP to do it. Ideas?

Update: Immediately after making this post, I remembered that the APK for the previous version without the engine separated is probably out there somewhere for free still. I'll attempt that and see what happens.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
Sorry for late reply, hope you can figure a process out now that works.

Shhh you're spreading information!

This is because BuildProp Editor settings have not been changed+reset.

Try flashing the engboot.tar.md5 as an administrator through both ODIN[tar.md5] and this:

root.bat[SuperSu cmd] from:

Yes but your apn settings will need to be configured to Metro PCS HERE

So I've been unable to make or receive calls and send or receive texts for about a week now. It might've been around when package disabler pro updated. I've tried downloading the plugin and redo the disabling of all the appropriate packages, but that hasn't really helped. Sometimes texting will work for like a minute after a reboot but that's it. Data has been fine the whole time, and it shows network as fine as well. I've tried doing a full unroot with SuperSU, and I think it was fine at that point. I then tried wiping cache and flashing eng again via odin, then root.bat. Once it was all back and going, I tried sending a text again to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

My hope was that there was just something that wasn't disabled via package disabler pro, but I've checked it a bunch of times now and it seems right. The part that's strange to me is that it works briefly after reboot.

Well, there goes my next Saturday.
